“Lindsey was great! Our meet and great went well and i felt right away that she was perfect. She has the experience and background that made me comfortable. Lindsey followed all of my crazy long notes and specifications. She did everything we asked and how we wanted it. I was able to be at work and not have to worry about the care my (fur)kids were receiving, I received good updates and detailed post visit notes. We are very cautious on who we let in our home and with our dogs. But I am extremely happy and confident with Linsey. We already booked her for our next two visits.”

“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.”

“Kate did a great job taking care of our cat while we were on vacation. She was easy to work with, reliable, and prompt. I would absolutely book with her again for our next trip.”

“Joey is amazing with all my animals. My Cane Corso takes special introducing and not everyone I introduce him to takes the job. He liked Joey from the first day. I actually have a little farmstead with several types of animals, including a horse, a goat, an emu, over 50 chickens and other types of fowl. I even feed some of the wildlife! Joey does all of it. I get great pics and I'm always so happy with the detailed list he leaves of all the chores and extras that he does. He even remembers things that I forget to mention sometimes! Number one call for me all the time is Joey. Besides, he gave me a very reasonable farmstead rate. I highly recommend this sitter, especially if you have animals not listed on Rover!”

“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!”

About: I cared for my own dog for 5 years, including as he aged into his senior years. I also watch my parents' dog whenever they go out of town. I do not have puppy training experience, but I have some with adult dogs. I work a full-time job, so any care provided will have to fit around my schedule. I am usually out of work by 2:30 and need to care for my own pets at home, but I will make all the time needed to provide proper care for yours! I live in a friendly neighborhood, and my cats are very open to meeting new animals. There are a lot of areas around my neighborhood to go for walks and some nice dogs that live around.
About: I have always grown up with dogs and taken care of dogs for the last 13 years. I do not have one of my own so I am looking forward to taking care of others. I am very caring for animals but also understand the importance of the owners rules and wishes regarding their pets. I will respect the owners wants and needs while taking great care of their furry family members. I have a full time job Monday - Friday about 7 minutes away from my house. I am able to care for pets in the morning before work, come home on lunch, and be home at a decent hour to spend the evening with them. I do not have any other pets so I can solely focus on yours. I have air conditioning for the hot days and warm heat for the cool ones! I have a great neighborhood for walks and am also close to one of the local dog parks. I don’t not have any children.
“Nikki did a fantastic job! We left for an eight day trip and needed someone to care for our four cats while we were away… She was happy to come over in advance and meet them to learn their routines, including give them medication and prescription foods for their different needs. She also made sure to give them treats and affection, and update us daily with reports and pics. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone!”

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!
About: I own a Husky mix named Prisma who is turning 3 this year. She is quite energic and also epileptic. She is my daily experience. However I have sat for dog a bit bigger and much smaller! That includes Shihztus, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, and Border Collies. I'm patient and responsible. My goal in any work field, but especially with your loved ones and possessions, is being reliable and communicating. This is what I find in my experience to be key for providing the best care and peace of mind. I work full time as a receptionist Mon - Fri, 8 to 4:30. This provides a lot of morning visits and overnight potential. Evening walks would works great as well. For specific requests, I can even dip into PTO to make the right situation work if a mid day visit is required during the work week. My Saturdays and Sundays are fully open at this time. I'm very patient and observant when interacting with pets of different personalities. Once informed on how you'd like your loved one to be cared for, I will do so in that manner. An obvious statement, but you'd be surprised how important that is to be said. If unsure or uncertain of care, we can brainstorm together as well to make sure I'm the correct sitter for the job.
About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 18. My Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work remote so have a free schedule to play with my dog and yours 24/7. Which I enjoy doing more than anything else :) I have a safe neighbor hood and live with my parents for the time being. My mom has done Rover for over 4 years but recently retired to be a full time Grandma! I have a front yard and small backyard as well that is fenced in.

About: Hi! I’m Brandon, and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I work full-time as an event coordinator in Rochester, which means I’m organized, dependable, and comfortable managing responsibilities while providing great customer service. I’ve always enjoyed being around dogs and understand that every pet has a different personality and routine. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just wants company and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m an active person who enjoys being outdoors, so I’m happy to provide energetic walks as well as slower-paced strolls for senior dogs. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect I’d want someone to show my own. When you book with me, you can expect: * Plenty of updates and photos during every visit. * Reliable, on-time arrivals. * Respect for your home and your pet’s routine. * Clear communication before, during, and after each booking. My schedule is also very flexible. I work from home three days a week, which allows me to accommodate a variety of walking, drop-in, and pet care requests throughout the day. Whether you need a midday walk, evening visit, or weekend care, I’ll do my best to work around your pet’s routine and provide dependable, consistent care. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I’m currently working full time at University of Rochester. I work from home 3 days a week, which makes my schedule flexible during the week. I also have weekends off for the most part. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, smoke-free, and has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: I have three cute pups who are shy but just need to warm up and they do, really fast. I grew up with a few dogs, and got one of my own once I felt I was ready for puppy commitment. I am that person meeting the animals at social gatherings, and forgetting about the humans. One of my dogs has pretty bad anxiety so I know how to be calm and loving to a dog who needs a little more attention. I worked in animal welfare, rescuing dogs and cats from all over the world for a few years, and this app has given me a new way to meet pets, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to otherwise. I am open to checking in on (almost) any type of pet, just message me if you have a pet that isn’t a dog or cat! We can't wait to make new furry friends of all sizes and breeds! I work from home so I am flexible on days and times that work best for your animals. I am typically available for a same day booking. I am happy to take care of whatever your pet needs, as long as you leave me detailed information about their care! Please no dogs that might bite or be aggressive towards strangers. However happy to work with skittish dogs that need time to warm up. I am happy to do a meet and greet!
About: I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for the past two years, where I have gained hands-on experience caring for and handling animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and caring for pets with special needs. My experience in veterinary medicine has taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and calm with every animal. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own! I am a full-time college student athlete, so pet care fits around my class and practice schedules. My schedule still gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day, and I am happy to coordinate with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With two years of experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, I am comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and other care, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

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 Scottsville 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.
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.

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.

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.
