“I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.”
“Both Kimberly and Chris were very easy to make arrangements with, and their two happy dogs are a great reference! I had peace of mind leaving Murphy there, and the photos Kimberly sent of the dogs hanging out were great. They are nice people that love animals and I think Murphy had a great time with them. They were also really accommodating in terms of working with our plans/needs, which was so helpful. ”
“What a great experience! First time using Rover and Rochelle was wonderful with our dogs, she kept us updated with pictures that let us enjoy the family service we had to attend. Will definitely use her services again as we like to visit the Rochester area. Thanks, Rochelle and Rover!”
“Kate was great with our 2 dogs' second experience with Rover. Our smaller one is an anxious rescue who takes a while to get comfortable. Kate was patient and understanding with her. I definitely recommend boarding with her.”
“Sam was the best! Very accommodating and you know that she cares about animals. Treated my dog Jaxie like her own and I could tell she was loved and had a great time away from home. First time using this service and my expectations were blown away, will definitely rebook with Sam in the future! Would give more than 5 stars if possible.”
“Sierra was wonderful with our dogs! She sent us daily pictures and updates which was absolutely perfect especially since I sometimes forgot to ask! But in every picture or even the one video our dogs were having a blast, she was so professional and nice! Would definitely rebook!!”
About: Like many others, I am a dog lover and was raised taking care of family dogs. Unlike others, that passion led to training and classes, competing in dog sports, and now, competing in dog shows. I have experience with many breeds of all sizes, senior pet care, reactive dog care and training. I would love to help you with your pet care needs! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most dogs’ needs. I currently have open availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop in visits. Dogs are treated like one of my own! I take your dog out for leashed potty breaks several times a day, according to their needs. While I am working, your dog can settle on the couch or one of the many dog beds, or relax and play with my dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Foxhound). If your dog likes the crate, I have an extra for them. When I run errands, your dog will be crated or gated in a separate room from my dogs for safety. I live on 4 acres next and next to a cemetery, so I can take your dog for relaxing walks in a peaceful environment.
“5 stars isn’t enough! This was 10 yo Kramer’s first time away from home. His older brother died last month and they were never apart. This has been a very rough time of adjustment. Tammy is wonderful with Kramer! She has a warm heart, a dog friendly home and fenced yard. Kramer was extremely well cared for!”
“Great property for dogs and a welcome home. I have a Vizsla, which means he’s full of energy and attention seeking. He had plenty of room to run and was shown the care and love he needed. I will definitely use Dixie again in the future.”
“Kasia was wonderful! Her communication was excellent, from the start of setting up the request all the way through to providing us with regular updates about how our pup was doing. She provided loving and knowledgeable care!”
“Jeffery was pawsome!♥️?. He was eager to accommodate an anxious owner and an active inquisitive pup. Provided plenty of 1-1 attention to both of us to keep us happy with his creative touches. Meisje clearly enjoyed her time and came home smelling wonderful and healthy and happy. Jeffery definitely enjoys his work with dogs. What more could you ask for! Thank you. We will be back.”
“Kenzie had such a great time here, she fell asleep on the way home from all the fun she had. We received lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. We would definitely bring her here again!”
“I recently adopted a bunny and we were going away on vacation for a few days… we needed someone who was able to watch my her while we were gone. We had a very nice meet and greet with Julia and she was very flexible with where my rabbit would stay, as well as how much space she could roam around in. She offered a whole room, that would be gated at the door, for my bunny. Since the meet and greet went so well, we booked her for the days we would be traveling. She made sure there was a carpet for my bun’s feet so she wouldn’t be on the hardwood floor. She put baby plugs in the outlets so my bunny couldn’t get to them. I felt very comfortable leaving my bunny with Julia and her family, they were all very kind. They even put a camera in the room so when they weren’t with my bunny, they could always keep an eye on her. My bunny seemed very comfortable and happy with the situation and adjusted very well because of Julia’s hospitality. Julia offered everything she could to make sure my bunny had an amazing stay. We will definitely be booking Julia again!!”
“I can't say enough about Marie and the great care she gives our little Chica. Chica is always excited when she sees Marie knowing she's going to be spoiled and get to ride in her doggie Uber lol. Marie is the best choice for our little girl!”
“Ivy is a very shy dog so we were very nervous to leave her for the first time. Carol was reassuring in her kind gentle voice that she’d be fine. She sent daily notes and pictures. When I went to pick her up Ivy actually hid behind Carol. Hurt my feelings, but I knew she had bonded with Carol which is exactly what you want in a care provider. So thanks again Carol for an awesome job!”
“Kim was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Daisy. I was worry-free on my trip as I received daily photos of Daisy playing, snoozing, and hanging out with Kim. Kim treated Daisy as her own and I will highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable home for their dog to stay while their away.”
“Lourdes is everything you would expect from a top notch Rover. She was kind and patient and provided excellent care for our pup. She was very comunicative and sent may photos and videos, putting us at ease that our pup was well taken care of each and every day. We hope to book with Lourdes again when the time comes.”
“My dog always has a good time at Leslie's house, and Leslie takes great care of her. She also sends cute photos every day, which really helps when you miss your pup!”

“Hailly is the main reason we can get away and leave our mischievous high energy orange cat alone for a few days - we rest easy knowing she’s there to take care of him! She’s dependable, communicative, and flexible! She even made an emergency second trip one day for us - thank you Hailly you are the BEST and Henry Tunamac loves you 🥰”
“Nicosha is the best—so communicative and thorough. It’s hard leaving a senior pet but I know when Nicosha does drop in visits he will be treated well and I’ll be updated every step along the way.”
“Sharon was wonderful. She showed that she really cared about Champ and Albert’s wellbeing and was very patient with them. I appreciated the regular updates from her about how her visits went.”
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our boys. We (boys included) knew as soon as we met her, she was a perfect fit. This was our first time using Rover but Elizabeth really put our mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Joni was great. I was nervous leaving my cats home. They dont do well being on their own for extended periods. Joni played with them and cuddled with them. She also had no problem, on short notice, feeding them the last day as my neighbor could not. The cats are happy and so am I.”
“Meghan did a fantastic job. She came by to meet my two cats before I left for my trip. She was really friendly and sweet to my cats. She came each day and took great care of them and sent me meaningful updates letting me know about her visits. When I got home the place was just how I had left it. It was a relief to know she was here for my cats while I was gone. I couldn't have asked for anything more. My only complaint is that im pretty sure my cats were dissapointed when I got home and it wasn't Meghan!”
“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”
About: I have recently become a cat person in the last 5 years of my life. You can count on me to provide snuggles (if they’ll let me)! I’m well versed in medication administration and proper kitty litter maintenance.
“Riley puts me at ease when I have to leave Spade (my 14 yr old Bombay male cat). She keeps me updated with photos and a narrative of what took place. She goes beyond and even cleans any mess he’s created. She is always punctual and attentive to his needs. I will recommend her with a glowing review and hope to book her on my next trip out of town. The best!”
About: I've had cats my whole life, and have always been very fond of them. I got 2 of my own over the past couple years (shoutout to the cat distribution system!) Having the first come to me as a sick kitten gave me hands on experience with administering oral medications (antibiotics and some pain pills) and eye ointment. The second gave me hands on experience with having an orange cat (if you know, you know.) If I'm not going on a trip with my immediate family, I'm usually the one they'll call to do check ins.
About: I've always had such a deep love for animals of any kind, and I've been taking care of all kinds of creatures ever since I was 9 or 10 years old! I've been responsible for taking care of family pets, as well as more professional pet-sitting for family, neighbors, friends, etc. I've always prided myself on my ability to treat your pets as if they were my own. I'm a very gentle, non-threatening entity for many animals I've cared for, but I can also be very energetic for those that need a way to get all that canine energy out! I will always keep to whatever walking, feeding, sleeping, potty, and/or medication (if needed) schedule that your pet(s) are used to doing, so they can be the most comfortable they can be. I'm truly hoping that I can make animal care my career, and my heart is full of love towards your fur (and scaly) babies! I'm currently working part-time at a dog groomer, so I'm available from Saturdays-Tuesdays (I work 12-6 Wednesday-Friday). I can do a Friday evening or a Wednesday morning if it's really needed. I try to spend as much time with your pet as possible, so that's why I'd recommend booking on the full days I have off from work. I have a small dog, so there are plenty of toys and treats available! We also have a crate and a baby gate, so if anyone needed some alone time, we can make that available for them. Our apartment also has a big courtyard, so if your pup needs some outdoor time, there's plenty of space to run around! (On a leash, of course)
About: I’ve owned multiple animals threw out the years that range from little fluff balls to scaley creatures and I love my animals so so much!! I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of my beloved animals, from feeding them and spoiling them and giving them love and affection. I have a fence for my animals and all of them are trained and go to bed in cages couse there a bit of trouble makers and like to make a mess at night.
About: I have had a dog of my own since I was 12 and absolutely adore all animals. I did a decent amount of dogsitting over the 2022 summer and loved it :) I am a freshman and hamilton college but hoping to do more over the upcoming summer. I am honestly pretty open other than working 1-5 usually everyday. Besides that I am available to take care of your pup whenever it is needed :) Please just let me know what works best for you! I love to take dogs on walks and really just spend quality time with them. I really just enjoy the company and think they’re adorable :) I could play all day or watch a show on the couch with some pets depending on what they need from me!
About: Up until around age 10, we had multiple cats in our home of all types and ages. One distinct example was an elderly cat named Socks who we adopted after her owner passed. Socks only liked the presence of my mom at the time but it was a great learning experience regarding the boundaries of certain animals and understanding that they are all worthy of love even if they might not show that love back right away! I now have had a small Tortishell cat named Nyx since 2022 and often cat sit for our friend who has a large formerly outdoor cat of which breed she is not entirely sure.

“Another great stay!! Jeffery takes excellent care of my dogs. Sullivan was spoiled all day long, the pictures I received were proof. Jeffery knows how hard it can be to leave your babies, He is very reassuring and sends updates and pictures to increase your comfort.”
“Sara set our minds at ease with her obvious compassion for our pet. The photos and video she sent us convinced us that Coco had found his new "Favorite Place". Thank you Sara, we look forward to seeing you again soon!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for many types of animals throughout my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, some birds and reptiles. I am my family’s and neighbors go-to pet sitter. I am looking forward to taking care of your loved pet as well! As a full time caregiver, my schedule can be flexible to fit your specific pet sitting needs. I have a 3 year old Shepard/ Husky mix and a cat that likes to keep to himself. I'd love to stick to your routine as much as possible. If boarding with me, it is important all animals get along and are kid friendly. Please provide any toys/blankets that may help comfort your pup while they stay. Outside time can be on a leash in the backyard, a troll down the sidewalk, or a trip to the park.
“Samantha is wonderful. Booking was done last-minute, on a holiday, no less. Samantha was kind, responsible, on-time, and would have sent intormation about my dog every 20 minutes if I wanted it. Highly recommend.”
“Kate is very kind and easy to communicate with. She took great care of my Bella and always asked important questions. I know Bella had so much fun — her daughter played with her, and I’m so happy that my pet had a wonderful time and was well cared for by Kate and her family.”
“My dog came home happy and exhausted from a long day of playing! Dixie sent me a couple of updates throughout the day and I had no worries at all. Dixie was also very flexible with my crazy work schedule, and at the end of the long day she didn't want my dog to leave because they had such a good time. 10/10 and would definitely use again.”
About: I have taken care of small and large breeds of dogs since the young age of seven. As soon as I was able to as an adult I rescued a dog and a cat because no home is complete without the pitter-patter of furry feet. My pets are more than pets, they're family, and yours will be treated just the same when they're in my care. I am currently working part time at the library two doors down from my home so have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. I have a beagle/poodle mix that is two years old that loves to have friends to play with. He sleeps in the bed, but if you prefer your doggie to be crated I can do that too. I also have a 9 year old cat that thinks she's the mommy of the house. She is always cuddling the dog and bathing him.
“Charlotte was amazing with my fluffy girl, Peach!! She was super communicative and took great pictures! Peach got along amazing with her pups and was an all-around great experience. Will definitely be booking with Charlotte again when I return to Geneva.”
“Heather was fantastic! We came to town in our RV for weekend class reunion. Heather cheerfully came to the TV park to sit with our 12 pound Yorkipoo, Bear. She sent photos and loved on him. Heather was a great communicator too. We highly recommend Heather to watch your furry friends! Sarah and John”
“I wanted to find a reliable pet sitter for my 5 year old rescue dog. I found Amy on Rover and tried out doggie daycare so see if it was a good fit. Dominick came home happily exhausted after a day of play. Amy clearly loves dogs and treats her furry guests to the same loving treatment as her own dogs. The communication from Amy was excellent before, during and after Dominick's stay. Amy is now my new go to pet sitter whenever we leave town or if Dominick needs a play day with friends. He was reluctant to leave her home at the end of the day! Thanks Amy.”
“Alison is the best! We used her for daycare and my dog was so happy she didn’t want to leave. Alison clearly loves dogs and treated Beasley like her own. She came home tired and happy and we will definitely be using Alison in the future!”
“Fiona had her first day at Garrisons doggy daycare and she came back tired and happy! My pup is very nervous of new things at first and Garrison took time to let Fiona warm up and get comfortable instead of just throwing her into the mix of things which can be overwhelming. I received updates from garrison and pictures and videos. We will definitely be a repeat client! Thanks so much Garrison!”
“We were visiting the Rochester area and needed someone to watch our labs for a couple hours - Kerrie was so flexible, responsive, and overall wonderful with our two very active and enthusiastic labs. If we’re ever in the area again, I know who we’ll be contacting if we need someone to watch our pups!”
“Dianna was wonderful. She took the time to care about our dog’s personality and background. She made sure that he could always see one of them so he wouldn’t get anxious. She also took great pictures during our time away from him to reassure us. One of those is a great black and white photo that we will cherish! I would definitely recommend these people.”
“We can’t believe our luck that we found Ema and her beautiful kids and family to take care of our Coco. We felt that Coco was in perfect care and that is immeasurable assurance is everything. Thank you dear Ema we’re so glad we found you!”
About: I worked for a pet hotel for 5 years taking care of dogs and cats. This included doggy day camp (playtime), feeding, cleaning, and giving meds if needed. I handled exotic animals with two different wildlife education programs! As a pet mom myself I am no stranger to what an animal needs. It doesnt just fit into my schedule it is my schedule. I have 3 wonderful cat babies and a senior dog who are my life. I love to take walks and run around so dogs love me. I understand that animals need more than the basics of food and water, they also need love and attention, as well as lots of play time!

About: I have owned and trained my own dogs all my life. Looking to use my spare time to give other pups some love and exercise when you don’t have the time. Good with dogs of all ages including reactive dogs. I have patience and knowledge to handle all types of dogs.

“Victoria was incredible with Finn who is a high energy Aussie puppy. He absolutely loved walking and playing with her and I will definitely be using her again. She is 100 percent reliable experienced and accommodating! Five stars and more!!!”

About: I've cared for all kinds of animals since I was 7 or 8 years old. I myself currently own and have always owned multiple kids of animals and I love them all the same! All breeds, ages, and abilities are always welcome and loved at my home. Puppies to seniors and dogs to cats. Medical needs will be accomodated as well. My friends and family have always relied on me to care for their pets when necessary and still do. I love animals and helping people so this is literally my dream to do as a job. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets when you are unable to. Your fur babies are always top priority! I have a large yard with access to long leads and water. I also have animals of my own to keep your fur babies company. I will also crate if necessary and requested.
“As usual, Elizabeth was absolute magic with my two dogs. She has incredible empathy, and the dogs adore her. She also goes above and beyond to keep my house in immaculate condition. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind my whole life. Have always been around animals and love to cuddle with all fur babies :) I’m currently a stay at home mom so I always have plenty of time to walk your pups and take them on little adventures :) I will follow the precautions you set out for me when I enter your home and follow what you prefer to keep your fur baby safe.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my diverse experience and adaptability to meet the unique needs of every pet. I have a special focus on both puppies and senior pets, offering tailored care for each stage of life. With puppies, I provide basic training, reinforcing positive behaviors and helping with crate training, potty training, and socialization. For senior pets, I’m attentive to their special needs, offering extra comfort, gentle exercise, and medication management. Additionally, I pride myself on building a strong bond with pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved in my care. Whether it’s administering medications or managing special diets, I take the time to make sure every pet receives the highest level of personalized attention and care. Caring for someone else's pet fits into my daily routine by ensuring they are fed, exercised, and given attention, just like I would for my own pet. I make time for walks or play sessions, and check in on their well-being. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their feeding, exercise, and medication routines. I ensure the pet is safe, comfortable, and engaged with regular play or walks. I also maintain a clean environment and provide updates to the client. My goal is to offer the same care and attention the pet is used to.
About: As a fur Momma myself to two dogs, I know how important it is to find a trustworthy sitter/dog walker. I have had dogs all my life.

I can even give you some tips and tricks to try at home! I'm currently a stay at home mom of two young kids so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby or fur babies. I will follow your very instructions. I can feed them whenever, give medications, and exercise them. I can crate them if need be as well.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I have been on Rover for several years and am starting up my business again. I LOVE being outdoors and am always happy to take dogs on walks, to the park, or even spend time by the lake. I have a 6-year-old chihuahua mix named Ghost, who I fostered before adopting. I completely understand how to support dogs who may be a little “sassy” and just need extra patience and love...because trust me, chihuahua's have BIG personalities! Ghost also has Addison’s Disease, which has given me several years of experience managing daily medications and have been trained by my veterinarian on how to administer his monthly injections. I’m confident and comfortable caring for pets with medical or special needs. I’m also a volunteer with Happy Tails (Ontario County Humane Society), where I continue to deepen my commitment to animal care. In addition to dogs, I have a cat of my own and am happy to care for cats too, whether that’s feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, or just providing plenty of snuggles. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule and can work around your schedule! I’m happy to stop by whenever is convenient for you. I prefer at least a day notice in advance if possible. I will follow whatever instructions you provide. Does your pup need a walk? Does he/she need to play fetch in the backyard? Or does he/she just need cuddles? I’m happy to provide multiple levels of care because I care about your pup!
About: I have worked with animals all of my life. I have two dogs of my own at home and everyday they get walks, treats, and playtime no matter what my schedule looks like. I am going to college and dog sitting is something that I find enjoying. I recently moved here from Michigan. I have an easy schedule so I am normally available. Please message me if you have any more questions! I am excited to hear from you! I also do long term or extended sitting as well. Unfortunately I do not board or sit at my home. I love all animals and I will make sure they get the love, care, and affection needed while your away! Right now I’m a stay at home worker. Who was time to take care of your pets. I will make sure they get let out or given lots of attention. Since I do not sit at my home, I will follow your direct instructions on how to let your pets out, feed them, administer medications, etc.

“Kate was great with our 2 dogs' second experience with Rover. Our smaller one is an anxious rescue who takes a while to get comfortable. Kate was patient and understanding with her. I definitely recommend boarding with her.”
“Sam was the best! Very accommodating and you know that she cares about animals. Treated my dog Jaxie like her own and I could tell she was loved and had a great time away from home. First time using this service and my expectations were blown away, will definitely rebook with Sam in the future! Would give more than 5 stars if possible.”
“Sierra was wonderful with our dogs! She sent us daily pictures and updates which was absolutely perfect especially since I sometimes forgot to ask! But in every picture or even the one video our dogs were having a blast, she was so professional and nice! Would definitely rebook!!”
About: Like many others, I am a dog lover and was raised taking care of family dogs. Unlike others, that passion led to training and classes, competing in dog sports, and now, competing in dog shows. I have experience with many breeds of all sizes, senior pet care, reactive dog care and training. I would love to help you with your pet care needs! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most dogs’ needs. I currently have open availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop in visits. Dogs are treated like one of my own! I take your dog out for leashed potty breaks several times a day, according to their needs. While I am working, your dog can settle on the couch or one of the many dog beds, or relax and play with my dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Foxhound). If your dog likes the crate, I have an extra for them. When I run errands, your dog will be crated or gated in a separate room from my dogs for safety. I live on 4 acres next and next to a cemetery, so I can take your dog for relaxing walks in a peaceful environment.
“5 stars isn’t enough! This was 10 yo Kramer’s first time away from home. His older brother died last month and they were never apart. This has been a very rough time of adjustment. Tammy is wonderful with Kramer! She has a warm heart, a dog friendly home and fenced yard. Kramer was extremely well cared for!”
“Great property for dogs and a welcome home. I have a Vizsla, which means he’s full of energy and attention seeking. He had plenty of room to run and was shown the care and love he needed. I will definitely use Dixie again in the future.”
“Kasia was wonderful! Her communication was excellent, from the start of setting up the request all the way through to providing us with regular updates about how our pup was doing. She provided loving and knowledgeable care!”
“Jeffery was pawsome!♥️?. He was eager to accommodate an anxious owner and an active inquisitive pup. Provided plenty of 1-1 attention to both of us to keep us happy with his creative touches. Meisje clearly enjoyed her time and came home smelling wonderful and healthy and happy. Jeffery definitely enjoys his work with dogs. What more could you ask for! Thank you. We will be back.”
“Kenzie had such a great time here, she fell asleep on the way home from all the fun she had. We received lots of pictures and updates while we were gone. We would definitely bring her here again!”
“I recently adopted a bunny and we were going away on vacation for a few days… we needed someone who was able to watch my her while we were gone. We had a very nice meet and greet with Julia and she was very flexible with where my rabbit would stay, as well as how much space she could roam around in. She offered a whole room, that would be gated at the door, for my bunny. Since the meet and greet went so well, we booked her for the days we would be traveling. She made sure there was a carpet for my bun’s feet so she wouldn’t be on the hardwood floor. She put baby plugs in the outlets so my bunny couldn’t get to them. I felt very comfortable leaving my bunny with Julia and her family, they were all very kind. They even put a camera in the room so when they weren’t with my bunny, they could always keep an eye on her. My bunny seemed very comfortable and happy with the situation and adjusted very well because of Julia’s hospitality. Julia offered everything she could to make sure my bunny had an amazing stay. We will definitely be booking Julia again!!”
“I needed to find a place for my dog quickly due to an out of town family emergency. Crystal responded to my search very quickly and was available that day to do a meet and great. She was so flexible with drop off and pick up. Even pictures to see him relaxing in her family's Home! So thankful to have found her. Will be using her services again.”
“Dianna and Matthew were excellent hosts for Blue. Dianna goes above and beyond to ensure you have all the peace of mind you need when leaving your dog. It was easily my best experience with Rover yet and I won’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you!”
“Excellent stay! Our pup got love and attention and someone was always home. The house is comfortable and welcoming. The fenced-in yard is a must! Kathleen had no problems with our specific dietary needs and Sammie came home happy and not stressed at all. Will use again!”
“We have 2 rescues, both about 2 years old who have never been boarded. Garrison was a fantastic person to care for them their first time away. She was very patient as they're both nervous around new dogs. We couldn't be happier with the way she handled them.”
