“Cannot say enough about these two but they took great care of Yasuke while I was away. They really cater to caring and loving the animals while they are away from their homes. The photos eased my mind as well. I will definitely use them again.”
About: I grew up on a small hobby farm, where my love for animals began early. After high school, I started working at a large boarding and daycare facility and immediately knew I had found my passion. For over 16 years, I’ve worked hands-on with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m highly experienced in pet safety, canine body language, illness recognition, and overall pet care. Whether your pet needs playtime, patience, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to provide reliable, knowledgeable, and loving care—just like I would for my own. As someone who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent attention, timely potty breaks, and plenty of one-on-one interaction throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches—they’ll enjoy a calm, supervised environment with regular activity, affection, and care. My flexible schedule allows me to tailor each day to your pet’s unique needs, whether that means extra playtime, medication reminders, or just lots of snuggles. I share my home with several of my own friendly dogs(in all sizes), which means visiting pets always have built-in playmates! I have the ability to crate any of my dogs if necessary. My secure, fenced-in yard provides a safe space for supervised outdoor time, whether it’s for exercise, play, or just relaxing in the sun. Because I’m experienced in managing group dynamics and reading body language, I ensure that every interaction is positive and stress-free. Having a pet-friendly home environment allows me to provide a level of comfort, safety, and routine that helps your dog feel right at home.
“Stacy took wonderful care of our dogs. We appreciated her flexibility in pick up and drop off times, even when our plans changed. Also, she treated our dogs to a great time, indoors and outdoors, and sent updates and photos.”
“Our pups came home smiling ear to ear! We sometimes have worries of our GSP getting along with other dogs and James was very responsive and let us know things were going great with his Collie and updated us throughout the trip! We will most definitely ask James to watch our girls again in the future.”
“Sarah was great! She was incredibly responsive from the start and made us feel at ease while we were away. She sent regular photo updates, which we really appreciated, and took amazing care of our two dogs. It was clear they were in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sarah again”
“Hannah, Zachary, and not to forget Moby (their pup) were the perfect dog sitter for Skye! From daily photos and check ins, to dressing her up for Halloween, they took super good care of Skye. I would definitely highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was young! I currently have my own dog who I raised alone, she is perfect and loves other dogs/cats :) I have multiple days off- so able to be flexible and in the home most of the time with your pet! They would never go more than 4 hours without going potty :) We live in an apartment- so your pet will only be walked or they will play in our fenced in dog park area. They will never be unattended :)
“Devon is a very experienced dog sitter. She was intuitive and kind to my Pepper (13 year old German Pincher). In spite Pepper upending her garbage and stealing chicken off the counter she took everying in stride. Devon communicates very well, responding daily with pictures and updates She also has a huge fenced in yard which is a plus.”
“I had a great experience leaving my 2 dogs with Donna. One of my dogs is older and anxious but she took excellent care of him. She has a big yard with plenty of room for the dogs to run and get exercise. I loved that she sent pictures and updates every few days while I was gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
About: I have a patiences and love for animals! I am very comfortable walking, grooming, and loving all types of pets. I have worked with dogs (puppies and seniors), reptiles, fish and cats. I have a lot of availability during the day. I do not work a traditional 9-5 job and have flexibility to focus on your pets. I focus on the safety and joy of your pet! I will follow any requests for your animal and your home. I have one dog and three cats to keep all pets company but all are easily blocked off if any animals are overwhelmed.
“Toni was so sweet, friendly, and helpful. She took great care of Franklin, was flexible to handle the puppy sides of him, and did great at facilitating bonding time for my dog and her grand dog. I would trust to leave Franklin with her again in the future!”
“Dondee is AMAZING! You can tell from the second you meet her she loves animals. She sent us many pictures throughout their stay and really wants to make sure your pups feel at home. Our pups were so tried after their stay they napped almost the whole next day. We will definitely lol with her again. She is the best sitter we have found on Rover!”
“Amy and her family were great with Mable! Really good communication before, during, and after. Amy sent multiple pictures each day. Will definitely use again and recommend to others!”
“Nic and Kjersten’s home is our “kids” home away from home. I almost get sad when they are barking and excited when they know they are going to visit Nic and Kjersten - but then I realize I don’t have to worry about them being happy and safe. Such a gift. 10/10 happy with this loving home and caring couple.”

Rochester pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer was so great with Karl! Her home was very clean and welcoming. She made sure that Karl was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time he was there. Karl was taken on walks as well as brushed during his stay. Karl got along great with her dogs and I could tell he was a happy pup when I picked him up. I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the stay and I knew my dog was in great hands. Absolutely recommend!
Itzayana is absolutely incredible! She is so attentive and loving with dogs in her care and was wonderful with June. She was very communicative, too, and it was great getting sweet pics of June having fun with her and the other pups in her care. I especially loved how she made time for us to come by and help June adjust to her home before the overnight. It made everything so welcoming. Thank you!
Tramyra and Janny were incredible!!! They took such good care of our cat, and also provided frequent updates with photos of his daily activity before we ever had to ask. Our baby returned to us happy and healthy. Highly recommend them, and we look forward to using their services again in the future 😁
Ashlee was so great with our two energetic dogs!! She kept us updated and did try different solutions to make sure our picky eater would eat her food! Loved the picture and videos she would send over as well. Most definitely would recommend Ashlee for future overnight stays :)
Our dogs have the best time with Holly and Jeremy and family - so much fun that they never want to leave! Holly and Jeremy are great about sending photo updates and have been flexible when we have had travel delays. They are always our top choice to watch our dogs when we are out of town!
Our pups came home smiling ear to ear! We sometimes have worries of our GSP getting along with other dogs and James was very responsive and let us know things were going great with his Collie and updated us throughout the trip! We will most definitely ask James to watch our girls again in the future.
Manny seemed super happy and comfortable during and after his stay. After much anxiety about leaving him with a stranger overnight I'm happy to see that Sonia in particular but also Rover in general will be great options for dog care whenever i need to head out of town
