“Brittany did an excellent job taking care of my baby! I felt very comfortable the entire time Roxy was in her care. Even though it was short notice, Brittany was able to accommodate Roxy with ease. I would definitely use her again in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone in need. Thanks for your help. Roxy and I look forward to another stay with Brittany in the future :)”
“BEST DOG SITTERS EVER!!! Lindsey and her entire family are the most loving people you could ever want to watch your dog! I actually think our frenchy is missing his new found family and their wonderful pups who he played with all day long! We have never boarded him for that long (9 nights!) and were very apprehensive about leaving him. But Lindsey had us come over to meet her, her family and their dogs to make sure we felt comfortable. Afterwards, we just knew that our Ronan would be safe, sound and very loved while we were gone. We will never use anyone else! Thanks so much for everything!!”
“Our dog had a great stay with Erin! We received consistent updates with pictures. Erin was flexible with arranging a meet and greet beforehand. We will definitely be reaching out to Erin again when we need someone to watch our dog!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I also have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra attention or medication. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and overnight care when needed. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to keeping pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel secure and cared for. I keep a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and always make sure pets are supervised, safe on walks, and given lots of love and attention. I’m also comfortable following special instructions, administering basic medications, and providing updates so owners have peace of mind.
“We had two dogs stay with Milissa for 4.5 days. This was our first time boarding them anywhere so we weren’t sure what to expect. We had an initial visit to introduce our dogs and discuss arrangements before the scheduled date. Everything was great! She sent daily photos, videos, and updates on how things were going. One of our dogs is an escape artist and she adapted to the challenges and handled it very well. Our dogs were well-cared for and seemed to have a blast with the other dogs. She has a big beautiful fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play. We had open communication through the stay and any concerns or questions were addressed quickly. Milissa made our first boarding experience smooth and easy for us and put our minds at ease.”
“Samantha and Ian took wonderful care of our pups while we were on vacation for a week. They sent many updates and photos while we were away. Our dogs didn't want to come home I don't think! We have tried many dog sitters and will only be using Samantha and Ian from here out!”
“Patrick and Emily were fabulous! Zeke loved it there. They provided pics and updates and took very good care of our puppy while we were away! Highly recommended”
“Silvana took amazing care of our dog, Lilah for a week and we are so happy to have chosen her to watch our puppy. She sent us daily pictures of Lilah, took her on walks, hikes, and fun outings. Silvana was flexible with our schedule, and her own work schedule was flexible enough to care for our young dog who has not mastered being home alone for more than 5 hours yet. We are super grateful and will book with Silvana again in the near future.”
“Wendy was amazing and her boarding-room is the cat’s meow. She went the extra mile to love my cats while I was away. I appreciate everything she did and would trust her with them again.”
“Asher M. was a wonderful pet sitter for my two boys! This was the first time that I have ever had anyone, besides family members, watch my two cats. My boys are almost 12, and one is diabetic, but I had no concerns during my trip. Asher stayed in contact with me, gave me his personal cell phone number, and even sent me pictures of my two cats during my trip. I appreciated all of this greatly, and cannot recommend his care enough! Thank you for making my first experience with not only Rover, but also with boarding my two cats anywhere, a smooth and stress free experience. I will book again with Asher M. if I find myself needing another boarding for my two.”
“My dog got along great with hers and her family, kept me updated on everything and in the loop with how he was doing, and super flexible and took my last minute request!”
“So grateful to have booked with Mary and her family for the holidays. Faith made herself right at home and got the best of care. Mary was very attentive to Faith's quirks and needs; I was never concerned over how our dog was doing and knew she was in good hands.”
“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.”
“Cassandra was a great sitter! She sent me daily updates with photos every day, which I truly appreciated. Everyone in her family showered Bowie with love and playtime while I was away on a trip. She was very attentive and communicative. I will definitely contact her whenever Bowie needs a sitter. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Jeannine and Todd took very good care of Jasper for two weeks. I loved the daily photos and check in updates every day of his stay. It was difficult to be away from my fur baby for two weeks but took great comfort in knowing he was in a loving home with other fur babies. I highly recommend this home for boarding.”
“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 !!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Nelia. This is the second time she has watched our dog, and once again she went above and beyond. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is well cared for while we’re away. Nelia is incredibly attentive and communicative. Our dog is very comfortable with Nelia and her family. I highly recommend Nelia!”

We had a great experience using Cynthia! She was responsive, kind and caring, sent pics/video, and our dogs were well taken care of and had a wonderful time! Her having a fenced in yard was a great plus for us and you could also tell she loves dogs so that put us at ease. We’ve already booked her for our next trip!

There are 802 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rochester. About 89% 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.

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 PA 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.
