About: I am a full-time working professional. For the past three years, I have fostered dogs with diverse personalities in my free time. I primarily have experience with Shiba Inu's; they can often have aloof and stubborn personalities. I also have an experience having a rescue cat since she was 5 months old. I am a full-time professional who works 8:00AM to 5:30PM. I will have availability after work and on the weekends; however, it could change based on other commitments. I have a cat who has free range of the home. However, any time there is another animal in my residence, they will be separated.
“Jason took care of my kitty, my fish, and my hellofresh box! I always miss my cat very much when I’m away but I feel much better about it because I know she’s being brushed and played with and taking her medicine”
“Christine was so great with my 9 month pup! She followed my directions perfectly and was patient with my barky pup. I would recommend her for your animal sitting needs!!”
“Katie made sure my cat got her phenobarbital twice a day and was able to handle her spicy attitude. It’s not easy to leave a cat with medical issues in the hands of a stranger but I felt that Bristle received the care she needed.”
“Having Shauni take care of all my animals while I’m out of town takes a huge weight off my shoulders. She has been so thoughtful and thorough. Her communications are clear, consistent and comforting. I’m a repeat customer and hope to use her services again in the future.”
“Kate is dependable and great with our kitties. Our kitties seem very happy when she visits. Kate sends a pic of each kitty for every visit. Even our skittish cat comes out of hiding. Thank you Kate.”
“Kim and Donna did a great job caring for Pixie and sent me pictures and a short message to let me know all was well while I was away. We are very happy with the care they provided our pet!”
“Beth was wonderful! She did a last minute drop in for our two dogs which I am grateful for. She stayed in contact, sent lots of pics, and followed all directions. I'd definitely book Beth again. Thank you!”
“Lee was amazing! On time every day and always gave a summary of each visit with photos of our two cats. Lee gave lots of attention to Sally and Charlotte and had no problem administering their medication. We will be booking with Lee again for our next vacation!”
“Amanda has been great with my dog Archie. He has some anxiety and reactivity and she’s handled it all so well. She’s always responded quickly and taken lots of photos during her visits which is so nice since I work out of town.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
Jason was so lovely! He was attentive to everything we explained during our first meeting, and our usually very shy cat was actually curious about him immediately! Each day he made sure that Mochi was well looked after, going above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and safe while we were gone.
Having Shauni take care of all my animals while I’m out of town takes a huge weight off my shoulders. She has been so thoughtful and thorough. Her communications are clear, consistent and comforting. I’m a repeat customer and hope to use her services again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rochester on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rochester. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
