“Kim was fantastic, and my dog was so happy at her house. Kim sent lots of photos, and communicated well. I am so happy with Kim’s services, and will be returning again soon. Thank you!”

“Marie took great care of Duncan. She welcomed us into her home for a meet and greet the week before his stay. She has great experience with dogs, big and small. Duncan settled in quickly. He got lots and lots of exercise and slept comfortably in her bed. Marie sent pictures and updates every day. Duncan loved his time at “camp”. Thank you so much for helping us and taking such good care of Duncan.”
“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.”

“She was amazing with max. Took him for rides, he played with other dogs and enjoyed being there alot. I will definitely be having her watch him again. She would send updates, videos, and pictures of max too.”

“Cara and Dan were great! Their care for my mini poodle was awesome, communication with them was easy plus they sent a few pictures. And their home and property seemed very clean and well kept.”

“I feel so lucky to have found Lauren and Justin. I am new to the area and this was my first experience leaving Charlie with a new family. I can't imagine a more positive experience. Charlie was well cared for and loved on by Lauren and Justin and their two beautiful daughters. Bonus was their two dogs who became instant playmates. I got regular updates and pictures and was assured all along the way that all was well. I swear there was a tear in Charlie's eye when he had to say good bye and we drove away. Until next time...Grateful!”

“Lesley was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs while we were away for 8 days. She kept us updated throughout our trip with photos, videos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and being well cared for. She was very responsive anytime we reached out, and we loved that the dogs had a yard where they could run around, play, and enjoy themselves. It was clear they were comfortable and well taken care of while we were gone. We are so grateful to Lesley for taking such great care of our pups and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive to watch their pets. We would absolutely use her again!”

About: I started caring for dogs when my friend and I began our own dog walking business at the age of 11. Since then, I've cared for pets of all sizes including my own. I currently have 4 cats and one Australian Shepherd puppy, so life can be a little hectic at times, but definitely worth it! I'm a teacher with availability on nights and weekends. During the summer, I have open availablity. Let's figure out what will work best for you! I have experience walking and caring for very large dogs, and very small dogs. I'm also currently training my puppy, so I'm used to pulling and teaching basic obedience! I've also been a cat lover my whole life, and I'm well versed in how to take care of even the most finnicky cats.
“We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog while we were out of town! Thomas took him on many adventures and sent photos every day showing us how he was doing and what they were up to. Highly recommend!!”

“This is a great family home for my dog -- she loved boarding here. Aaron take all your special needs and indulgences into consideration and provides plenty of play opportunities. Just what my little doodle needs!”

“This was my first time using Rover. Elizabeth made it so easy. I could tell Teddy was comfortable there from the pictures she sent and it was a huge relief to know he was with a family.”

“Alina did an amazing job taking care of my cat during Christmas time! She responded quickly and sent me lots of great pictures of my cat during visits. Thank you Alina!”

“Sophie is amazing! The love and care she puts into her visits is truly remarkable. We will certainly be requesting for Sophie to come back and visit. Thank you Sophie!”


About: My love for cats grew as I did. As a person who grew up in a household with dogs, I've learned in my adult years to appreciate cats for their unique personalities and quirks (and their lifestyle, we love a cat nap). After I adopted my baby (pictured, her name is Ivy) 5 years ago, my appreciation has turned to a bit of an obsession! Over the past decade of pet sitting I've met and cared for many cats. Visits as well as overnight stays. I also have had some experience in medication administration for kitties, including injections. I know each and every cat has unique needs and preferences. And believe with great communication I am able to care for each different home.
“Wonderful care of our kitten Quincy as he faced his first time home alone. Patient so he got to trust her, and then playful and engaging with him, we are very grateful. Although the changing of food, water, and litter is much appreciated, it is the interactions that helped him be more comfortable without his family home.”


About: While most of my professional experience has been working with dogs and small animals, I also have experience caring for cats in an animal shelter setting. Through my work in animal care, I've learned the importance of respecting each animal's unique personality, body language, and routine. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I'll provide patient, attentive care while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, and plenty of affection—on your cats terms.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and understanding that every cat has a unique personality. Some cats are social and playful, while others prefer a quieter approach, and I take the time to get to know each cat so they feel comfortable and secure in my care. As a coach and youth sports director, I am responsible for the well-being of many children and families, which has taught me the importance of trust, consistency, and clear communication. I bring those same qualities to pet sitting. Cat owners can count on me to follow routines carefully, pay attention to behavioral changes, and provide updates with photos and messages during every visit. I am patient with shy or nervous cats, attentive to senior cats that may need extra care or medication, and happy to engage playful cats with toys and enrichment activities. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away.

“We are so grateful for Amber! We have 3 cats, 2 of which are rescues who had a very hard life for 3 years before we took them in. One of them was never seen, aside from a quick run-away, by a previous petsitter who took care of our cats for the past 3 years. But from her very first day, Amber gained all 3 kitties' trust and affection. She not only saw our "ghost kitty," she was able to pet her. No previous petsitter had won this kitty's trust before, and certainly not within a day! Amber sent us detailed updates and photos of our happy, calm cats. We were also blown away by how thoughtful and neat she was with everything. When we came home, all 3 cats immediately came out and were happy and peaceful. Usually, at least one would hide for a little while because they'd be stressed when we were away. Not this time. Amber is truly amazing.”

“Couldn't ask for better care for our new puppy dog! He got to play with another big dog for some socialization. She was on time with great communication. We met at a store for the exchanges and near my work.”

“Elliot and Dominque are wonderful! I’ve used them for daycare a couple of times to get my pup comfortable there before an upcoming trip next month. I know he’ll be in good hands. I very much appreciate their professionalism and frequent communication/updates!”

About: I have had dogs of my own. I had a lab and a yorkie silk terrier. I treat dogs like they are my children. I will take them on fun walks, make sure their well fed and play with them. I always make sure my focus is on the dogs so they don't feel lonely! Something that sets me apart from other walkers and sitters is that I like cardio. So just walking alot or even running with the dog will not only help me but the dog too! I really want a dog of my own right now but me and my husband don't have the finances so we thought this be the perfect job! I hope you give me a chance to watch your dog! You won't be dissappinted!
“Susan was so willing to take care of my disabled.dog for a night and an afternoon. Susan communicated with me along the way and did everything she could to make my pup comfortable. Susan picked up and dropped off my pup on time and with a smile! Thank you!”
“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.”

About: I have guinea pigs, cats, dogs, and chickens. I have also had a bearded dragon and rabbits. I am very used to caring for many types of animals and love them all. Have experience with all different ages and many different needs for each pet. They’re our family ! I was a teacher for 12 years in elementary school. After our 3rd child was born i decided to stay home to take care of our children and our pets full time. I am very flexible with my schedule and our pets love visitors - animals and humans !! I have a fully fenced in backyard and three very friendly dogs and three very friendly children :) We are all animal lovers. I am home during the days and when school starts, I am the only one home so it’s nice and quiet. We live in a great area for dog walks and are close to many parks for hikes too.
“Marie did a great job with my dog with reactive tendencies. She is friendly, easy to work with, and has a great deal of knowledge of dog behavior which is helpful in addition to pet-sitting. I highly recommend Marie for dog care services.”


About: I have 25 years of experience training and caring for dogs. My journey started when I took my Labrador to a training class. I continued reading books and watching training videos and applying the knowledge to have a well behaved dog. To this day I have continued to apply all I have learned with the animals entrusted in my care. I have been approached by friends and neighbors to assist them in the care and training of their dogs and it continues to be a passion of mine. My home and I are readily available for any and all of your furry loved ones. I look forward to providing a calm, assertive and balanced environment where your dog would feel comfortable and safe in my care.
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: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who knows that our pets our family. I am a senior dog owner to two puggles and they are treated like royalty. I provide reliable dog walking and pet sitting with plenty of care, patience and playtime. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra love while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm also comfortable feeding, light grooming (brushing), and giving extra snuggles if needed. I'd love to help you care for your furry friend like I do my own! I am currently getting a second masters degree online and I am home most of the time (info for pet parents who are looking for services). I take my dogs on lots of walks each day to get all of their sniffs in! I live in a townhouse and every time we go outside my dogs are on leashes. They go on about five walks a day. I would love to ensure your dog gets adequate exercise too!
“We booked a trial daycare before our boarding to make sure it was a good fit for everyone and it went great! Please see my full review about how much fun Sal had while staying over for boarding. Thanks again!”

“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”

“Hannah was wonderful and very accommodating! I was initially a bit concerned because my dogs are not accustomed to being around kids but here children were really great around the dogs. Would book again if I am in the area.”

“Forrest and Leo were safe and well cared for at Amy’s. They were soo excited to go back!! That was most important to me. I also appreciated the great communication and flexibility with drop off and pick up.”

“My dog Lilly is extremely shy. Emily was very patient with her and managed to get her outside to take care of business without stressing her out. I would hire her again!”

“Alexandra helped us out last minute and took great care of our dogs, and even showed our cat some love too 😊 We will definitely be contacting her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone needing pet care.”


About: New to Rover! I have 20+ years, like most of you, taking care of dogs (all ages & size) walking, training & loving. Raised in Rochester & know all the best parks & trails. I have an SUV and don’t mind taking the dogs places if requested. Night shift worker during the week, I make lots of time for my puppy at home and would love to make time for your dog during the day. I’m available all days of the week, unfortunately that doesn’t mean I’m available all the time but can make time each day of the week if necessary. Just reach out, your odds are high that I can help I know how important pets are to everyone’s family and will treat yours like you do at home, or better :) Learning your dogs behavior is a key to success, the more information the better (behavior around dogs, people, children, chewing, barking) to know if they are acting different in any way. I get excited each time I meet new parents of dogs, i wouldn’t trust some nobody with my dog unless I got to know them first, I am in my mid twenties and have lived in pittsford/penfield for most of life, I do not drink if that matters to you, I’d say based off appearance I look pretty clean unless it’s cold out then you may only be seeing what’s visible under my hood or hat. I’m well educated in the do’s and don’ts on what is safe and unsafe for dogs and puppies to accidentally eat. Coming from a family that has dealt with Lyme Disease I take precaution in where my dogs are roaming, and always checking my puppy and past dogs constantly for ticks
“Sari was absolutely amazing! She is dependable, thoughtful, and caring, and she genuinely loves animals. She surpassed our expectations. I would hire her again without any hesitation!”

About: I’ve had my own pet-sitting business since I was 12 and have years of hands on experience caring for dogs. Most of my experience is with small and medium sized dogs, but I am also comfortable caring for larger dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, like us! I take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My job offers a flexible schedule, allowing me to make adjustments based on each dog’s individual needs and routine. I understand how important consistency is and will work closely with owners to create a schedule that keeps their dog comfortable and well cared for. Safety and trust are extremely important to me, both for each dog and their owner. I carefully follow all instructions and take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We have always had at least one dog in the house if not more. In the past 6 years I have helped my parents to puppy train twice. I love dogs unconditionally, but I am not afraid to show a little tough love when needed. I’m currently going back to school and attend a lot of local sporting events but I still make it a priority to take my dog for a walk daily. Whether we fit in a walk before I leave in the morning or in-between class and a game, I know how much she loves her walks. I also make sure to give her ample play time when I am home. I make sure that whether the pet is in a fenced in yard or not I am always keeping an eye on them when outside. I always respect the clients wishes regarding their animal being on furniture, in what rooms, and such on.
“Amanda makes my dogs day he’s so happy thank you for taking such great care of my boy and giving him his treat.. we’ll book with you again *****five star dog sitter*****”

“Kate is just so wonderful with our Luke and she’s become a trusted partner helping us care for him when we have long days. Luke loves seeing her and she makes sure Luke gets pampered while with her. We appreciate Kate so much and will look forward to continue working with her.”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and would care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I grew up with both large and small dogs, from Shih Tzus to Rottweilers, and now have Huskies of my own. I’ve also grown up with cats and currently have a Maine Coon. My love for animals extends beyond dogs and cats—I also have a saltwater aquarium that brings me so much joy, and I’ve had a passion for wildlife and all kinds of animals from a young age. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pets and give them the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m happy to help in any way I can! I work nights, so I have plenty of availability every morning and afternoon. I’d love to use that free time to care for and spend time with animals who need a little extra love and attention while their families are away. If you have a fenced-in yard, I’d love to let your pups run around, play fetch, and get all those zoomies out! We can also go for walks, enjoy some sunshine, or simply spend some quality time playing and relaxing together. My goal is to make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and fun while they’re in my care!
“My dog does not like to walk but Christine had no problem getting her some exercise. Puddin was much happier when I got home because she had a mid day walk. I Highly recommend Christine and have already rebooked with her.”

About: I have 15+ years each of professional pet care experience. This includes dog walking, pet sitting, dog training, doggy daycare and shelter work. I both have extensive experience with dogs of all ages and needs. I can do daytime walks and drop in visits any day of the week. Evenings are occasionally available as well, just ask and I can see if I'm available! Safety is a top priority when caring for any animals. From dogs and cats to birds, small animals and reptiles, I have 15+ years of experience keeping people's precious pets safe.
“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”

“Amy is absolutely wonderful! My pup had so much fun and with a fenced in yard and some pups herself, my doggo had a great time. He was extremely tired for days after which is a blessing to know he had alot of fun. Even had some time changes and Amy was very accommodating. Will be using Amy again.”
