“Elliot and Dominique were the absolute best caregivers for our sweet 12 year old pup! We never once worried about her care while we were out of town for a week over Thanksgiving. They sent updates twice daily and pictures. We can tell by how relaxed our pup was when returned that she had a wonderful stay with them. We are so grateful to have found Elliot and Dominique!”
“Amber did a fantastic job taking care of Geoffrey! I received pictures and updates during his stay. Geoffrey spent his days playing and going for walks. He came home one tired pup! Thank you Amber and family for treating my little guy like family. I would recommend Amber to anyone looking for a caring sitter. I will book again with Amber for future needs!”
About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!
“Fantastic sitter! She was incredibly attentive and caring. Our pets had a wonderful time with her, and she kept us updated with daily photos. We highly recommend her and give her a full 5 stars!”
“MIchelle was wonderful as always! She was so attentive to Pax's needs and checked in regularly with us with updates and questions. She got Pax out often for hikes and walks, and he loved being with her and her dog.”
“My dog has never been happier besides me the pics I’ve seen made me feel so confident and comfortable with Rachel taking care of my baby boy he stayed active and she gave him the same level of care that I would have and khai her fur baby added the love to all the fun he had and in the pics she sent we will be seeing her again thanks for the love and care it is appreciated!!!”
“Thank you Lourdes and family for taking Snoopy for extra time when we had a travel delay. He loves his time with you and we are so grateful for the excellent care you give him.”
About: I have been breeding dogs since 2019 and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes, temperaments, and needs. Through breeding, grooming, and working closely with professional trainers and groomers in my network, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, coat care, and handling techniques. I have groomed dogs through referrals and word of mouth and am very familiar with proper care, structure, and maintaining a calm environment. My background in the fire service has strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to community trust. I take dog welfare seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are always monitored, never left unattended outside, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I’m experienced with crate training and can crate dogs if needed or requested. Cleanliness, routine, and each pet’s individual comfort and safety are always my top priorities.
“Kate will be forever treasured for talking marigold I’m such short notice and being so wonderful to her! She took such good care of our pup and is such a lovely girl. I couldn’t have had a better experience and we will always Hope Kate will be available when we take a trip!!!”
“Brittany was amazing! I felt like Daisy was so comfortable at her house and she provided daily updates the whole time. My flight was delayed coming back from vacation and she was flexible and took care of Daisy longer than we had originally agreed upon because I was unable to get to her on time due to travel changes. 100% recommend her!”
About: I’ve been walking dogs for a while now, and I’ve always had dogs of my own. I also have experience fostering. I have experience with all ages, sizes, and breeds. I currently work from home, so I have flexibility in when and how I can provide care. I’m available weekdays for drop ins and walks. I look forward to taking your dog on walks, and can transport them securely in my car if needed. Depending on the dog, a service I offer is jogs. I take my own pup, Flo, on runs all the time.
“Hannah and her little ones were fantastic. Zoe probably would have lived with them!! She loves the little ones. Hannah was fantastic. I received lots of pics and Zoe was very well taken care of. She loves running in the fenced yard. I hope Hannah keeps in touch and lets me know when her new addition arrives. I feel like I’ve known her all my life. I would definitely use Hannah again. She was awesome.”
“We were so pleased with Elizabeth’s care for our dog. He’s older and uncomfortable around other dogs so the fact Elizabeth only keeps one dog at a time is perfect! From the pictures she sent we could tell he was very relaxed and happy. Will definitely use her again.”
“Anastasia watched Willow for two weeks while we were in Europe. She sent us updates periodically which was perfect since we were on vacation. Our daughter picked up Willow at the end and said that Willow was content and calm which means Willow had a good time adjusting. We will definitely use Anastasia again!”
“Hello, My first time using Rover, I was reading several profiles/reviews and came across Quinn. She agree to meet me and my Fur babies on a kinda short notice! She was very friendly and welcoming, we met her fur babies and they all seemed to get along! Quinn kept my babies for 8 days and was awesome about sending photos and keeping me updated on how things were going! I would use Quinn again, great choice! Thanks Quinn”
About: My love for animals has always been one of my biggest passions! From turtles, to birds, lizards and snakes to cats and dogs, I’ve owned and cared for them all! I work full time but spend most of my free time at home. My days off are Sunday and Monday. I can be very flexible and am able to come home on lunch if needed. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in every visit. I follow care instructions closely, secure doors and leashes, respect your home, and provide regular updates so you always feel confident your pet is well cared for

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
This was the first time Sunny was cared for outside his own surroundings and his first time meeting a dog. Maria was very thoughtful about Sunny’s firsts. Sunny is an investigator and enjoyed all the opportunities for adventure with Maria and her family. Maria sent photos and messages throughout the week, which we appreciated. When we need another boarding opportunity we will absolutely contact Maria.
Amy provided exceptional care for our two cats. She sent daily updates and videos. We could tell that the cats were very comfortable and having a nice time. We booked somewhat at the last minute and Amy was more than accommodating. Would 100% recommended to anyone looking for a cat-sitter.
Lydia did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy while we went to a wedding. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone else, and Lydia was so kind and caring that we felt totally comfortable. As an added bonus, she sent us some beautiful pictures of our pup!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Rochester on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 325 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rochester. About 94% of Rochester sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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 NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
