“Hannah was great about communicating and very professional. Due to travel problems some adjustments were needed at the last minute. I would definitely contact her again in the future.”
“This is the second time Alana has watched our cats while we were away and they both love her! Even Nori our skittish cat who usually hides for everyone comes out for Alana’s visits :) We love knowing we have someone we can keep relying on for future vacations”
About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and taking care of them. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from shy cats to playful puppies. Very reliable, I also enjoy capturing fun moments and sharing photos with theirs owners. I currently work full time, but I am available in the morning and evening as well as the weekend. Especially on the weekends I am very flexible to spend time with your furry friend. I have two kittens at home, they are either flying off the walls or napping right next to me. Taking care for your pet, I am very detailed with instructions and ensure everything requested is completed.
“Lois was perfect! She came to meet Luna before my requested service dates and asked questions to make sure she understood what Luna needed. She arrived for all scheduled visits on time and sent complete report cards with photos every time as well. I would definitely use Lois again for any pet sitting needs!”
About: I grew up in a family with plenty of dogs, cats, and other critters and spent lots of time in 4-H clubs and at horse stables before I started fostering dogs at 15. Over about 3 years, I was the primary caregiver to 14 foster dogs ranging from 10-pound Chihuahuas to 90-pound American Bulldogs and from puppies to seniors. Having had difficult pasts before making it into a rescue, most of those dogs had some behavioral or medical issues (and often a combination of the two), so I built plenty of patience around training and even more familiarity with medical regimens. After graduating high school, I continued pet-sitting the cats and dogs of friends, neighbors, and family whenever I had a chance. Now that I’ve got a typical full-time job, I love using my weekends and evenings looking after other's pets! I work Mon-Fri 7:00am-3:30pm, so I'm typically only available evenings and nights during the week, but am also willing to make early mornings work under particular circumstances. If you're within the city of Rochester, I may be able to make brief mid-day stops even on days I'm working. Happy to discuss details and find flexible solutions for everyone involved! In a client’s home for housesitting or drop-ins, I like to make sure pets are engaged and having fun so they have a full day even when their people aren’t around. I’m also happy to incorporate any training regimens a client is trying to establish. During over-night stays, I’m used to waking up for frequent potty breaks or for medical needs. I also stay very conscious of what will make the pets most comfortable and establish trust with them – whether that means giving them space or letting them stick with me 24/7 – so missing their family is as minimally stressful as possible. For walking services, I’m happy to adjust our pace and distance to make sure pets have all their excess energy out by the time they get home. I'm a runner so that includes runs for high-energy dogs. If a senior pet just likes to get outside during the day without the focus on exercise, I keep a very close eye on their energy level to make sure we take appropriate breaks or wrap up the walk before they push their limits. At the end of the day/visit, I like to give clients a recap of what their pets were up to, including the big and small things, just to make sure everyone’s in the loop and knows what’s going on in their pet’s life.
“Kyle has been amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and caring, and always goes the extra mile on walks. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone to hang with their pup throughout the day.”
“Tatiana is AMAZING! She truly understands that it can be stressful for owners to leave their pets, so she sends very thorough updates at each visit, along with adorable photos! I felt very at ease the five days I was traveling, because I always knew what was going on with my cats. She was very conscientious about the litter boxes and left everything super clean. She also took great care of my diabetic cat, who needs insulin shots. I highly recommend Tatiana!”
About: I have pet sit for friends and neighbors for a long time now, including dogs and cats. I grew up with almost any type of animal you can imagine, from little reptiles, to horses, with many in between. I currently have a dog, 2 cats, a few fish, and many chickens. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pets. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule around each pet’s specific needs and routine to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I provide loving, attentive care for pets in both my home and my client’s home. I make sure pets are fed on their normal schedule, always have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I can follow any specific instructions regarding routines, medications, training, or special needs.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced dog lover with a special place in my heart for rescue dogs and high energy pups. As the owner of a high energy rescue myself, I understand firsthand the patience, structure, and attention these dogs need to truly thrive. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or reinforcing good habits, I’m committed to helping dogs burn off energy in a healthy, positive way. For energetic dogs, I make sure they get the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need because a tired dog is a happy dog! Safety is always my top priority. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to tailor each walk to your dog’s personality, energy level, and specific needs, whether that means a brisk adventure or a slower, confidence building stroll. I’d love to meet your pup and help make their day a little brighter! As someone who works in education, I have a lot of availability over the summer as well as school break! I am available on weekends as well!! I can be flexible and fit to your dog’s schedule! Details are my specialty! I make sure to follow each dog’s specified routine and care needs! I make sure your dog is well loved and enjoy giving lots of snuggles!
“Jenine did a great job checking in on my cat. She kept me updated with pictures after every visit and gave my cat the love and attention she needed. I felt at ease knowing she was caring for my girl while I was away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Skylar lets my dog out at lunchtime 3 days a week and he enjoys her visits. She was helpful when a bandage came off a minor injury that my dog had. Overall she has been reliable and responsive.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I looked after neighborhood dogs when the family would be out of town. I walk them, feed them, play with them, and have had dogs stay with me at my home. I take care of my own dog and we are very active. Being active is part of my dog’s breed and is something I could provide for animals that are at home while owners are at work or out of town. I live in a townhome with one dog that will keep your pet busy! Sage loves to play, run, and swim. As far as going to other homes I have stayed in the home for a couple hours playing with the animals. Either one works for me. When we do have another dog stay with us, we constantly stay active and also have time for rest. Dog parks, hikes, walking on the beach, are some examples of activities that I have done with other dogs.

David was excellent with our puppy Nova! He is incredibly attentive and very considerate of Nova's specific needs. Nova always enjoys her time with David and it's a huge help to have him drop in. We always love the pictures and updates David provides about her time during the day.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rush choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Rush with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
