“We can’t thank Katie enough for watching our cat on an extended stay! She and her family are great people and I would trust them to care for our cat again in the future. Thanks, Katie!!”
“Andrea watched our dog Duncan with less than a week’s notice after a previous sitter fell through. He was so well taken care of and it was clear he fit right into her home! We received daily updates and photos which was great peace of mind on our trip. She also has a big fenced in yard and two friendly dogs for our pup to play with! We definitely wouldn’t hesitate to bring Duncan back in the future! Thank you again Andrea!”
“My first Rover experience with my just turned one puppy. Nicholas was very friendly, sent me daily pictures, and most importantly my dog was well cared for and came home happy and I think a little improved by the experience :). I would recommend Nicholas unreservedly, and so would my dog Sadie. Thank You!!!”
“I was more confident about this stay for our dog than any other. First, Jeanne comes across as knowledgeable, caring and competent. It's clear that she has invested in her house and yard specifically for the safety and comfort of other people's pets. I knew upon leaving our collie with her that he would be fine and well-cared for. I was right. When we picked him up, she told us about his stay and how he interacted with the others, all of which was normal and expected. I have absolutely no concerns about recommending Jeanne to others. If we return to that area, I hope Kluge can stay with her again.”
“Thank you for taking very good care of Jenny. Appreciate the cute photos and stories about what she has been up to while we were away. My return home got delayed and Colette was so helpful and flexible allowing my neighbor to receive her back for return. Love this extra service that makes going away less stressful. Thanks again.”
“Noreen is the absolute best! She took such great care of our large dog while we were away, sending pictures and updates which kept the family happy while we missed our boy. Not only was she incredibly great to our boy and us and a great communicator, but she also showed great patience for me and was incredibly flexible. We were so lucky to have found her!”
“Kiana was truly amazing. I had a sudden family emergency that required me to go out of state. She went so far above and beyond during that time, while having no obligation to do so. From the beginning of the cats stay with Kiana, she had been so incredibly flexible, she agreed to watch them with only two days notice, and due to the situation evolving and becoming unpredictable, she was more than happy to allow me to extend their stay. She was the direct cause of so much stress relief due to knowing the cats were safe, and well taken care of. 5/5 human. As for her actual care of the kitties she again went well above and beyond anything anyone might think is going the extra mile. The cats were given the space needed to become comfortable and very quickly, and happily adapted to the new routine. I received frequent pictures and videos, she was very communicative, and because of her vigilance we were able to create a plan of action for one of the kitties who started throwing up more frequently than normal. She even went out and bought higher quality food for the cats, and implemented a structured feeing strategy so we could better assess the puking, which I doubt was an easy task since they both free fed before they were boarded. She kept me up to date at all times and provided regular, detailed updates. 5/5 for animal care as well. She is the best sitter/boarder I have ever had any experience with, by exponents, it’s not even close. Her service was head, and shoulders above anyone I’ve personally used before and far better than anything I’ve heard about other boarders. Choosing Kiana to care for your pets should be an insanely easy decision for anyone who wants their animals taken care of at the highest level of care, and wants someone that is just a straight up good human as well.”
“Highly recommend Janelle and her husband. They took very good care of cinnaman! He was very calm and comfortable when we picked him up. They have a nice fenced in backyard and a nice neighborhood for walks.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the moment I met Hannah and her husband, it was clear they have a true love for animals. Hannah is reliable, and went above and beyond in taking care of my dog, Reggie. Throughout the multiple times they watched my dog, they kept me updated with pictures and messages, which made me feel at ease.”
“Beth was a great caregiver! I feel fortunate to have had a person who knew what my dog needed for exercise and care. Beth’s attitude was laid back and she had a great house and yard for my dog. Her dog was very laid back too.”
About: I have had my dog for over 9 years. She is very good with others. I have a fenced in backyard, and a doggy door of the screened porch. When we are home during the day in good temperatures, the door to the house will be open giving dogs the freedom of where they want to relax or play. I am currently a stay at home Mom to my wonderful twins therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule I can work around, especially if it avoid the kids naps. I have a fenced in backyard that is connected to the house via a screened in porch so there are many options of where to hang out. At night everyone is inside.
“Christina was amazing with Minnie!!! They did so much, I can't believe it!! Minnie had an amazing "vacation" away from mom! Lots of play time, care and love!!! I 100% recommend Christina! Thank you again for an easy last minute request!!”
“Veska and her family took such wonderful care of Bo! We could see from her daily (and often multiple per day) photos and updates that he was as happy and as comfortable as he is at home. Veska truly cared for him like he was one of her own pets. We will definitely be booking with Veska again which, I’m sure Bo will be thrilled about!”
“I would give Lynda 50 stars if I could. When I went to pick up my pup Maggie from Lynda at days end, I could tell she had a nice day. She was not stressed out, she was even relaxed after the day's thunderstorm and I know she always enjoys spending time with other friendly dogs. Lynda emailed and texted me throughout the day with updates on how Maggie was doing so I knew she was safe and comfortable. Lynda took time to talk to me on the morning I brought Maggie to stay with her and she made sure she had all information on her so that she could care for her well. I was extremely pleased.”
About: I’ve taken care of a family dog Chihuahua for the past 8 years. I enjoy taking her on walks and giving her all the attention she deserves! I currently am on a job rotation in Maine. I am unable to take the step to caring for a dog full time, but I’d love to fill the void with weekly care! I care for a dog like I’d care for a family member. It’s important for me to create a comfortable environment for the dog to hang around in

“We left our Cooper (very last minute!) with Jennifer these past 3 days, and felt as if we left him with Family! Jennifer was so attentive to Cooper and every few hours she sent us pictures of him. It was truly a most wonderful experience, and Jennifer was a loving, caring and thoughtful host! So much gratitude to her and her beautiful family!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
Katie did a wonderful job watching our labs. They’ve stayed with her twice now, and each time she has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly caring. It’s obvious she treats our dogs with the same love and affection she has for her own adorable pup, Crumb, and they always seem to have a great time with her. Right before their most recent stay, one of our labs developed an ear infection, and Katie was kind enough to add ear medication to her care routine on short notice without hesitation. That level of flexibility and compassion gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received and would absolutely trust Katie with them again and again. Highly recommend!
Rebecca is amazing! My pups had the absolute best time! She is extremely communicative and sent tons of much appreciated photos. This was my little dog's first time away from home and he's exceptionally choosy about his people.... well the little man fell head over heels for Rebecca and didn't want to come home. She was able to give my very different dogs exactly what each of them needed to feel safe and happy, and I feel incredibly lucky that we found her!

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
90% of Rochester sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Rochester landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rochester home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rochester.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Rochester sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
