“David was amazing! He was super accommodating about a last minute booking, and sent lots of sweet pics of my pup having fun and getting loved on. He came back tired from all the playing and fun he had.”
“Destiny has a lovely home that is very practical for petsitting. She has zones and rooms that can be closed off. Her beagle and cat both did well with my cat, no one was traumatized. But the best of course is the loving family my pet enjoyed. They doted on him and tolerated all of his quirks. I felt like he was so well cared for.”
“This was the first time Sunny was cared for outside his own surroundings and his first time meeting a dog. Maria was very thoughtful about Sunny’s firsts. Sunny is an investigator and enjoyed all the opportunities for adventure with Maria and her family. Maria sent photos and messages throughout the week, which we appreciated. When we need another boarding opportunity we will absolutely contact Maria.”
“This was the first time I have ever left my dog with another person, and safe to say I wasn’t disappointed. Megan was an amazing sitter for my 60lbs pit-bull, Polar. He enjoyed my walks and cuddles during his stay. Megan sent many pictures and updates, and followed all the guidelines that we gave. Honestly, we could not have asked for better. Polar will indeed be back!!!”
About: Hello, I'm Kylie. My two dogs, Shanti and Nova, and I would be glad to care for your dog while you're away! I'm a healthcare professional with over 20 years of experience, and I work from home full-time. My mother is a retired nurse and shares the home with me. Your pup will never be left alone. At least one of us is always here to give steady attention and company throughout the day. We live in a farmhouse on nearly 3 acres in South Bristol/Canandaigua, a quiet, peaceful setting where dogs can relax and settle in comfortably. Meet my pup crew: • Nova is 10, a border collie/golden retriever mix, and still young at heart. She lives for a belly scratch from anyone she meets and is always ready to greet visitors with her ball. She also loves her frisbee and a good bone to chew. • Shanti is 7, a chihuahua mix. She can be shy and standoffish at first, but she warms up. She spends most of the day snoozing and snuggling into the coziest nook she can find. Your dog will go outside several times a day for walks, fresh air and exercise, and I'm happy to add more at your request. In between, there's plenty of affection, playtime and treats, because a happy dog is a relaxed one. I've had dogs and cats my whole life and am very experienced in giving medications and managing special diets. I follow your dog's routine closely and would be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages, if you’d like. Every new client stay starts with a meet-and-greet so everyone can get comfortable, and I introduce dogs gradually. Message me about your dog's personality, routine and needs, and we'll make a plan together. I look forward to hearing from you. Pet care is built into my day. I work from home and my mother is retired and lives here too, so our dogs, and any guests, are part of the household routine. We take several outdoor breaks each day, depending on the weather, with plenty of time for play, snuggles and rest in between. Your dog stays in my home, where they're treated as part of the household. I work from home and my mother is retired and lives here too, so someone is always around to keep an eye on the pups and give them company. Safety comes first. Every stay starts with a meet-and-greet, and I introduce the dogs gradually. I ask about your dog's health, behavior, routine and any special needs ahead of time. All dogs must be current on vaccinations, with proof provided before the stay. I follow your feeding and medication instructions closely and would be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages, if you’d like. Sleeping arrangements follow your dog's usual routine. My dogs sleep in our bedrooms at night, so yours is welcome to as well. I'm also comfortable with crated dogs if that's what they're used to. Outdoor time is supervised, and we take several breaks throughout the day, depending on the weather. We live on nearly 3 acres in a quiet, peaceful setting, which makes for a calm, low-stress stay.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! Growing up with both Pomeranians and German Shepherds gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m a nurturing, patient, and responsible person who genuinely loves animals. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping your dog company, I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have two children, ages 14 and 5, and we enjoy having animals around. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your furry family member will receive plenty of attention and affection! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for your furry family members. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate different routines and will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a loving, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs can feel relaxed and welcome. I have two children, ages 14 and 5, so I welcome dogs who are comfortable around children. I believe in maintaining familiar routines, providing plenty of supervision, and keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“Rachel is super responsive and always makes sure to send updates and pics. We were nervous about leaving our dog who has some separation anxiety issues but he settles in nicely with their crew, as evidenced by the many pics of him relaxing on the furniture!”
“I am so happy that Hollis was able to take such good care of my fur baby Blade. It was his 1st time away from family & he did so well. I can't thank Hollis enough for his patience & love for our Blade definitely recommend him, he is awesome.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for several family dogs over the years, including American Akitas and a Husky and Australian Shepherd mix. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated and am currently looking for a job, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. I have plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I enjoy making sure pets stay active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a comfortable home with plenty of trees, nearby walking trails, and a river area where dogs can enjoy outdoor time. Since my yard is not fenced, I always use a leash and supervise dogs during potty breaks and walks to make sure they stay safe. I also have my own cat, Eartha, who is friendly and enjoys meeting people. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and follow each owner’s instructions to provide the best care possible.
“5 stars. Kimberly got back to us right away when we first inquired, flexible with our drop off and pick up times, and sent us several pictures and brief updates while we were away. When I picked Buddy up after his week-long stay he was happy and content - like he just had a great playdate. When we inquired, we found out the holiday rate was different from the posted rate - it would be good to have that out there.”
About: I come from a family who has always had multiple pets at a time, with anywhere from 3 to 10 foster dogs under our care at any given time! I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs from smaller poodles and Shih tzus to much larger retrievers, border collies, and German shepherds. I have experience with cats as well, but much more lengthy experience taking care of dogs of different sizes and temperaments :) I am a med student so my schedule varies in flexibility but I live in a very walkable area and typically spend a lot of time at home studying! I love taking long walks in between classes and studying and would love to bring a furry friend along with me :) As I do have to be in classes some days for a few hours (no more than 3-4 at a time), i am better boarding pets who can be left alone for a couple hours. As for my home, I have plenty of space for them to run around freely.
About: Hello! My name is Ajani and I am senior here at Howard University. I am a caring, passionate and responsible person. Your Dog will be in safe hands as I will treat them with the love and caution as if they were my own. I will be careful to follow any instructions left behind. I enjoy walks or runs and I don't mind sticking to specific trails. I have experience with sitting both cats and dogs as I have had a cat for 10 years now and back home I used to walk my neighbors dog. Please let me know any information you think will be helpful to best make sure your pet and I will have the best time. Any triggers and anxieties will be helpful
“Morgan was fantastic with our dog, Stella! She had great communication throughout our trip and shared plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Stella was well cared for and happy the entire time. We’d absolutely book with Morgan again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve worked as a dog handler for a year and have worked with and owned dogs myself for more than 7 years. I know how to administer dog meds, give bathes, cut nails, and more. Your dogs needs and safety will always be first priority to me and you can trust your dog with me without worry. I’m very familiar with all sorts of different diets as I have a few bulldogs and they each have all sorts of allergies so I have learned to value a strict (if needed) and efficient nutrient filled diet. I live with my girlfriend in a small house off of a private beach so we can take strolls near the water and enjoy sunsets :-) I recently quit my job at a doggy daycare/hotel because I want to focus on finishing my bachelors. I go to college online and I would like to have a more flexible personalized schedule. Hi! I’m a 25-year-old dog lover with a big heart for animals! 🐶❤️ I’m a proud French Bulldog mom to three Frenchies of my own, so I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, needs, and energy levels. I also have professional experience working at a doggy daycare, where I gained valuable experience handling, supervising, and caring for dogs in a group setting. I recently left my position to focus more on school, which has given me extra flexibility and free time to spend doing something I genuinely love! I have a small, fenced-in yard that’s perfect for some fresh air and supervised outdoor time. I’m also available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and giving your furry family members the attention and care they deserve. I understand that pets are family, and I want every owner to feel comfortable knowing their fur baby is in good hands. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some playtime, or just a little extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! 🐾

He is super friendly and loves having playmates to enjoy his time with. Walks and runs are always in my schedule, and have explored many dog parks and trails in the area. I look forward to meeting your pet:)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shortsville
This was the first time ever leaving my dog. He is a certified emotional support dog for my PTSD. The hotel would not let any emotional support animals come regardless of paperwork. Jeffrey was absolutely wonderful with keeping in touch as well. Sending many pictures. Apollo was very happy while he was there. He provided exceptional care.
Jeffrey was wonderful with our sometimes nervous pup! He went above and beyond to make him comfortable and happy and was incredible sending pictures and communicating with me throughout the stay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone really confident and skilled with all dogs (even ones with quirks)!
Carol is absolutely WONDERFUL!! She is a beautiful person and incredibly loving of our Lani. She’s a great communicator and so considerate of the dogs needs. She gave Lani and bath and even got her a new harness as she had grown out fit the one I sent with her. All around 5* I am so fortunate to have found her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 312 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shortsville. About 92% of Shortsville 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.
