“Kristine was so wonderful with Maui. He had so much fun. She kept him occupied, exercised and took great care of him. And above all, when he got dirty from all those things, she actually bathed him for us, so we got back a fresh smelling puppy! So grateful for this as we were not looking forward to bathing him today. She went above and beyond, followed our recommendations and sent us constant updates. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have taken care of my friends and families pets for years and highly experienced. I’m the manager at Your CBD Store and I dog/cat sit for many of my regulars who love our pet CBD! Especially senior dogs. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to take care of your fur baby! I work Tuesday-Friday 11am-6pm and 11am-4pm on Saturdays so I can come anytime before and after work! I’m off on Sundays and Mondays so on those days I can come whenever. I do offer boarding services but only small dogs that are good with cats. I’m a cat owner and I care/treat her like she is my actual child. I am like that with any pet that I care for. Nothing makes me happier than caring for an animal. I have grown up with animals my whole life, we always had dogs and cats. When I moved out when I was 18, every room mate that I’ve had, has either had a dog or a cat that I’ve helped care for. One of them actually had a Pitbull and she had 10 puppies that I took care of for months before they all got adopted. Whenever I go to a clients home, I always double check everything to make sure I am providing the most excellent care.

“Our dog had a wonderful week with Kathy & Brian while we were traveling! Kathy & Brian were accommodating to Grizz’s lifestyle and needs (he’s quite large and starting to show his age), and we greatly appreciated the photo updates they provided (Grizz always looked so happy and you could tell how much they were loving on him). They were also very understanding and flexible when our travel plans changed unexpectedly on the last day of our trip. We will definitely be booking with Kathy & Brian again!”

About: I have had dogs of my own. I had a lab and a yorkie silk terrier. I treat dogs like they are my children. I will take them on fun walks, make sure their well fed and play with them. I always make sure my focus is on the dogs so they don't feel lonely! Something that sets me apart from other walkers and sitters is that I like cardio. So just walking alot or even running with the dog will not only help me but the dog too! I really want a dog of my own right now but me and my husband don't have the finances so we thought this be the perfect job! I hope you give me a chance to watch your dog! You won't be dissappinted!

About: Lifetime pet lover here! I have adored cats and dogs and have shared my life with them for as long as I can remember. My current kitty is thriving at 19 years old and I’ve been dog-sitting since my teenage years. I understand the importance of patience, gentle observation, and attentiveness. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, loved and completely at ease while you’re away. From energetic puppies and kittens to graceful seniors, and every age in between, I pride myself on providing reliable and compassionate care. From endless cuddles, fun playtime, and careful supervision, your pet’s care is my top priority. Your fur-baby deserves the very best! While I work full-time, my availability is pretty flexible weeknights and weekends. I’d be thrilled to connect and assist you with your lovable pet’s needs! I believe building trust is the most importance step. Keeping up with your pets’s established routines and specified care is also critical. I want to know all about your furry family member in order for for me to provide the best possible care.

About: I’ve had multiple dogs for 20 years. We currently only have one 10 year old mixed breed little boy but he is used to being with other dogs. I work from home in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walks. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m flexible and can take pets out as often as needed. I’m experienced with giving meds and injections. We can go for long or short walks, whatever works for your pet. My dog is crate trained but spends most of his time at my feet or laying in bed. I’m flexible with whatever your pet needs.

She was great with my 2 cats. Even when one of them was uncomfortable in a new environment, she communicated that to me and let me into her home to avoid a traumatic experience for my cat. Would 100% use her again in the future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Priscilla has been absolutely amazing! 🥹❤️ I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my fur baby, Reese’s. She is incredibly sweet, caring, attentive, and trustworthy. She made me feel so comfortable knowing Reese’s was in good hands. It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares for animals as if they were her own. I truly appreciate her kindness and the wonderful care she provided. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter! Thank you so much, Priscilla! ❤️🐾

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Rochester

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Rochester is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $75 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 318 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rochester. About 92% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.
