“My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up. I also appreciated Chelsey being available on short notice when unexpected travel came up. Overall, it was a good experience.”
“Our dogs had a great time with Michael. He sent us videos and we could see how happy they were there. We had peace of mind while we were away knowing they were in good care!!”
“Heather is a wonderful sitter! I’m busy with work and graduate school and she is always very accommodating with my shifting plans. I love that I am able to have her and her husband drop off and pick up my dog from my home if I need to! Unfortunately I missed my flight home on the last day of the boarding and Heather was extremely helpful with keeping my dog another night and allowing me to pick my dog up very early in the morning when I was finally able to get a flight home! I am so thankful I found such a good sitter to take care of my baby. She’s also great on updating you about your pets so you always have peace of mind that they are being taken care of!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Stacy and I am very happy with the results. Stacy allowed us to come and visit prior to our trip and we learned she is very knowledgeable about the care and training of dogs. Our trip was last weekend and I picked the dogs up and they were healthy and happy and I would definitely use her again!”
“Lindsey and Bob are the best. My dog is very friendly but a lot to handle because he has high exercise needs. They do a great job not only taking care of him but also he has a blast there playing with their dogs and family. I highly recommend them!”
“I trust no one else with my 1 year old baby boy, Brucey. He feels like he is home there, and Maria and Tony take the best care of him. I am able to travel With total peace of mind because of them. Thank you!!!”
“Watson had a great time with Cassie this past weekend! I got lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay, and I could tell he wasn't ready to leave when I picked him up. I would highly recommend Cassie to anyone looking for a dog sitter while they're out of town.”
“I’m so glad to have found Courtney. She has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs and they are always happy to see her. She takes such good care of them and keeps me posted with pictures and information on what they are up to. I’m very happy and know they are in good hands with Courtney. I can go away and not worry cause I know she is there with them. Thank you Courtney!”
“We had an outstanding experience with Amanda! She watched our Scottie Bella while we were out of town. Bella immediately was excited to see her and Amanda was very warm and knowledgeable about dogs. She sent us photos and videos of Bella and asked questions appropriately. I highly recommend her.”
“Chang was so great with Lucky! We had a last minute sitting need and she responded so promptly and took such great care of him. Was great with communication and pictures! We will definitely use her again!”
“I highly recommend Brittany! She took great care of our one year Samoyed for a weekend away. He had a lot of fun playing with her two dogs, and returned home a very happy and tired dog. We were provided pictures and updates of our dog during his stay. Brittany is quick to respond to stay requests, and made drop-off and pick-up very easy.”
“Meliisa and her family are amazing !!! They took such great care of Balto !! Balto became part of the family while he was there and enjoyed all the things he does at home :). Highly recommend Meliisa !!”
“Kate is absolutely amazing! We left our dog with Kate for his first “sleepover” and she went above and beyond to keep us updated the entire time and sent so many photos while we were away on our trip. She took Frankie on tons of walks, played, and he was tuckered out when we returned home to him. Thank you Kate, we will definitely rebook again in the future!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our not so easy pups. She made our daycation relaxing and stress free! We got pictures and updates all day long. Would highly recommend!”
“Excellent pet watcher!! I highly recommend. They were very responsive, and flexible. My cat T-square had a blast at there place. He was loved, groomed, and cared for, as if he was with me! ❤️”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“Willa had a wonderful time staying with Megan, her family, and their dog. She always takes a little while to settle in and Megan and her family were patient and kind, letting her approach at her own pace. By the end of her stay, she was romping around, playing, and totally comfortable. Megan communicated clearly and sent us photos to help us miss Willa a little less. We’re very glad to have found Megan’s family to sit for Willa!!”

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Rochester can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rochester home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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 PA 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.
