“Jamie and Brian took such great care of our dog! He is older and can be timid but seemed to have no issues with them and actually ate all his meals which is big for him in unfamiliar places. They were in constant contact and sent lots of pictures of him. We will definitely be bringing him back in the future!”
“Haley and her fur babies were amazing hosts to my little blind guy Luca. Always sending pictures and updates. Thank you so much for the peace of mind I got while having him stay with you.”
“Samson had a great stay with Jacque!! I received so many pictures and videos. He really makes leaving your fur baby easy, knowing Jacque and his wife love them like their own. Will definitely be booking again 😊”
“Jessie was the perfect choice to watch our dog Mabel. He spent a lot of quality time with our dog and his two dogs were the perfect play pals. Jessie provided us with regular updates on Mabel to keep our worries at ease. He also included pictures. As this was our first time away from our dog he made sure everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for a better first Rover experience.”
“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!”
“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. ”
“Another wonderful mini vacation for our Toby with his furry friends! Second time we've had the pleasure of having Toby stay with Gigi and we definitely give the highest recommendation knowing he's in a house filled with smiles and love. Thanks!”

“Amazing! Our first time using Rover and Amber set the bar! From the start, she made us feel comfortable leaving our puppy in her care. Very knowledgeable in puppy’s and their quirks. She is very communicative - from questions before booking, through booking changes, and while our pup was in her care - kept me posted on how he was doing and even provided pictures! Something that really helps a first time puppy mom! She also kept our puppy active which was great after a long trip - he slept the entire night and even slept in late!! We will for sure use her again and will be sharing her with our other dog friends! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Debra watched our dogs while we were away for the week and our experience was great. We got daily updates, and our dogs came home happy and well cared for. I would recommend Debra to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”

About: My love for animals has always been one of my biggest passions! From turtles, to birds, lizards and snakes to cats and dogs, I’ve owned and cared for them all! I work full time but spend most of my free time at home. My days off are Sunday and Monday. I can be very flexible and am able to come home on lunch if needed. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort in every visit. I follow care instructions closely, secure doors and leashes, respect your home, and provide regular updates so you always feel confident your pet is well cared for

“Tetiana was wonderful with my two pups! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and it was immediately clear that she loves dogs and is great at caring for them. She was very accommodating with the drop off and pick up time, and then during the stay she provided frequent photos and text updates. Overall, really great dog sitter who I would highly recommend to others!”
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”

“Kathryn is a very nice sitter! She follows the instructions carefully and being really nice to my cats. She will contact me in time or asking for more she could help. Most importantly, she has the cutest window stickers!”
“We had a great experience with Bhavneet! Very reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our cat’s well-being. We loved getting detailed updates and photos during each visit, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. One of our cats can be shy, but she was patient, gentle, and took the time to make sure our cat was comfortable and fed. We came home to happy, relaxed cats, which says everything. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“If I could give Kayligh more then 5 stars I would. She did drop in visits for 2 full weeks for my 2 cats, and she did an excellent job. She is kind, courteous, and caring. She communicated with me each day about her visit with them, and sent many pictures which is so appreciated! My one cat is very shy and he actually came out and played/spent time with her, which is something he doesn’t even do with my family members. I can’t thank Kayligh enough for what a wonderful job she did. I will definitely work with her again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Leah was awesome! She was able to come out on short notice to help. She was communicative the whole time, gave the pups plenty of play time while she was here, and made sure they had fresh water before she left. She was great with the pups. We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 50 years and currently share my home with three cats. I understand that cats thrive on routine and that trust is earned on their terms. Whether your cat is social, shy, senior, or a little spicy, I’ll provide patient, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and notes while you’re away.
“I originally Booked for a drop in visit for christmas Eve. because of the Blizzard my plans changed to the next weekend. deborah was very accomodating to my change. Did a wonderful job with my boys. Will definitely use her again. I recommend her.”
“I'm away for a long time this trip in Asia. With the time difference, comes my anxiety for Soju's wellbeing. David has been so kind and helpful, with all the cute pics and daily Rover cards that made me comfortable and reassured. I will not hesitate to book him again in a heartbeat.”
About: Hello, welcome to my page! My name is Savannah and I am an experienced pet owner/pet sitter. I have watched dogs of all different sizes (trust me I’ve watched anywhere from a small King Charles to a Great Dane). I can walk your dog, let your dog out to play, help teach them commands and more! I have been dog sitting for over 5 years and absolutely love it. I have 2 dogs of my own, one of my babies has Idiopathic Epilepsy - medical case dogs are welcome! I also have 6 cats and a snake! All animal types are welcome! I have experience providing medication and injections. I truly love animals and I hope you give me the opportunity to watch yours! Thank you, I hope to hear from you soon! Rover is my world, I enjoy dog sitting and I can provide pet sitting at any and all times needed as long as available on my calendar. While caring for your pet in your home, my eyes are all on them. Potty breaks, walks, even just chilling on the couch, they will have my complete attention.
“Very happy with Marissa’s professionalism, communication, and follow up. She was very responsive and made the process easy. Will definitely ask her to check in on our cats in the future. Thank you!”
“Sharon takes such wonderful care of our cats- and communicates with us readily while we are away! We truly appreciate knowing our cats are safe- it makes traveling so much easier!”
“Alana did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats while we were away for a week. Knowing they were in such good hands and getting daily updates made being away from them much easier. We plan to use Alana for all of our future trips!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and owned my own for 7 years. I have house sat for multiple families and prefer to stay at the home since I have found it to be less stressful for the pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, rats, Guinea pigs, horses, and even reptiles! I also have experience with animals that need medication such as anxiety meds and insulin. I am currently in esthetics school and working park time. Depending on when booking my schedule may be different. If your pet is special needs, I will adjust my schedule to fit those needs when given advanced notice. If the yard is fenced I will use that or a leash if that is provided. I can also take your dogs on a walks! When letting dogs out, I prefer to keep an eye on them so I will usually sit outside while they do their business.
“Jasmine was wonderful! When my trip was extended due to car trouble, she extended the reservation to cover the days I was out without any problems. She was very patient with my shy cat, and by the end of the stay was even able to pet her. Jasmine also brought in my packages and cleaned up my cat's vomit. I couldn't ask for more.”
“We recently had the pleasure of having Gigi and Nate take care of our dog, and I couldn't be happier with their service! They treated my dog as if he were their own, providing not just the basics but going above and beyond to ensure he was happy and well-cared for. They also kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Gigi to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters. They're simply the best!”
“Spencer took great care of my two kittens during his drop-in visits and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly very comfortable with cats. He even scooped the litter box twice because one of my kittens likes to use it right after it’s cleaned. I would definitely trust Spencer to watch my cats again and highly recommend him.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Riga
“Jamie has been sensational. While this is my first review of her, I wanted to wait for a number of visits before leaving a review. Pre-visit communication have always been positive and quite timely. Communication during visits(texts and photos) are just the right frequency, and always include appropriate pictures. I’d recommend Jamie with no hesitation to my family and friends, so if you’re one of them, I told you so. If you’re not one of them, she did doggie daycare for me on multiple occasions and has been a treat to deal with. On the last visit, my golden puppy was trying to drag me from the driveway to the front door. That should tell you something.”
About: I started walking my next door neighbor’s Boston Terrier when I was around 10. She knew I was an animal lover, and even let me experiment with some training with her pup. This led to me getting into agility training and just general dog training, which I have started to pick back up again. I am known as the family dog sitter, as my family has a combination of Pit Bulls, Bernedoodles, and hunting breeds, so I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and stubbornness! Aside from dogs, I grew up volunteering at shelters where I adopted my own cat when I was 15, and eventually even landed a job as a zookeeper! As far as my own pets go, I currently keep it to my cat, fish and my wonderful Bearded Dragon, Albus. From my own pets, work experience, and love of training, I really have worked with everything from lizards to rodents to dogs to elephants! One consistency throughout my experience is my love for animals, and my passion to improve the quality of their life! Specific skills: - Puppy/Adult dog training - Hoofstock care and training (goats, horses, exotics) - Reptile care I currently work from home, so I have the availability to work from wherever I need to. This also gives me the option to walk/train during my breaks. I have weekend availability as needed as well. I am able to stay over at a pet owner’s home if needed, however I prefer to host pets in my own home whenever possible. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed who absolutely LOVES having the company! As always, your pet’s safety is my number one concern. I am trained in identifying and understanding animal behavior and will not put your animal in a position where they do not feel safe. I am also a huge advocate for leash laws and ADA regulations protecting service dogs, so these will always be respected and enforced in my care. I am a huge advocate for animal enrichment, working as a zookeeper in the past taught me how important mental stimulation is for an animal, and how when paired with proper exercise can mitigate behavioral issues in pets. This is something I would love to bring to the table for my clients!
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.
“Haley and Amanda were great daycare hosts for our dog Jager! We booked a VERY last minute daycare with them and they were exceptional. Pickup and drop off were seamless, there was active communication throughout the day and photos of Jager playing with their dogs. 10/10 experience and I would absolutely book with her again. :)”
“Kiara is AMAZING!! I wish I could move her to LA with me. The best dog sitter I’ve had on rover and I use rover very often. As a helicopter dog mom, I would absolutely recommend Kiara to everyone! It was the best experience! Thank you Kiara!”
About: I have worked years with saving animals and have always been a big dog lover. Looking to do what I love most . I have 2 children that I recently took in and have a new puppy who loves other dogs. She is a sweet girl. I would love to have more dogs but really cant afford to . So this way I can help others with their pets and my girl can have some playmates. I live in a house on 3 acres. I have kennel , electric fence and a chain for dogs to go out on. Whatever is best for your dogs. I am flexible on size of dogs and have experience with many dog personalities. I do own 2 cats but can keep them away from dogs. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with the animals. I am home most days a week and if I do work it's a couple of hours 4 times a month I have a fenced in area and large yard for your fur babies to play.Also, have plenty of room inside for dogs to play .
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats most of my life and currently loving my 8 year old lab mix. I have an affinity towards big dogs, but love all fur babies. Recently retired so I’ll be home a lot. I have a decent sized fenced back yard. I have lots of love to give to your pets like they were my own. Recently retired with a wide range of days and times available. Love going for walks. My schedule will work with your needs and your pets schedule. Pet friendly home. I’m very flexible and will follow your pets routine. Whatever your pets need to be happy and healthy I’m here to help.
“Alex and Bayern were both amazing hosts. We were in town for a wedding and didn’t want to leave Ziggy by himself. They took really great care of Ziggy and made him (and us) feel at home. We would highly recommend them and we’ll always return to them whenever we’re back in town. Thank you being such amazing hosts and taking care of Ziggy!”
About: I am a dog lover I have a strong passion to care for pets and a nurturing aura. I have ability to adapt to any dog's mood for example sick dogs who need quiet time and love. For dogs who are active and playful will enjoy playin and running around with a energetic individual as myself. I have also delivered 4 liters of puppies. Your pet will love to interact or cuddle with me anytime of day. I also make delicious treat for the sweet and an all around pet pleaser. Making sure all needs are met for your pet is my main goal I strive to accomplish on a daily basis. Your pet will be well taken care (360 pampered care) of as if they where part of my family.
“Rachel provided kind, attentive and friendly care to my girl Lucy. She provided photos and updates on Lucy and how her day was going. I feel that my girl is in great hands and that I trust Rachel is giving Lucy all the love and attention she needs!”
“Super attentive, gave lots of updates through pictures and videos and to my shock got my very picky dog who almost never eats when he isn't home to have a meal! My boy was smiling ear to ear”
“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!”
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've raised two energetic puppies through adolescence and frequently provide dog-sitting services for friends in the area. I also have experience working as an enrichment specialist at a well-known doggy daycare in Rochester and volunteering as a foster for local rescues. I am experienced with anxious dogs and can adapt to your fur-baby's specific needs. I'm trained in basic human and canine CPR, and I'm skilled at recognizing early signs of reactive behavior in animals. While I'm not perfect, I'm highly attentive. Since I’m home most of the time, I’ll ensure your pet stays healthy, happy, and safe! We are an adventure duo -- you can catch us at the beach playing fetch in the water, hiking, or just taking long strolls along the canal! On days where the weather is rainy, we still get 3 walks a day (morning, noon, evening) with thorough wipe downs after! Meal times are interwoven with short training sessions. I have dedicated several rooms in my house to doggy activity areas -- agility equipment, floor mats, etc (see photos). Grooming is done very regularly. My pup has environmental allergies so we also do a water rinse daily when we return from our adventures. When your baby stays with me, they will receive the same treatment (if they are comfortable getting brushed). He is my entire life and I couldn’t be happier! I have included photos of my home (and the excessive amount of dog toys we own) in my profile. Several of the rooms in my house are dedicated to doggy activities/enrichment and I also have a fenced in yard. I have also made sure that my set up allows me to separate dogs from each other if they ever get over stimulated -- I have enough rooms where each dog can be in their own room. I also have a doggy door so most days when the weather is not atrocious the dogs can relieve themselves/play as they please. Also my sun room is dedicated to dog care so if need be I can gate off/separate pooches that get too worked up (or just need privacy eating). I do have two crates — one for super small dogs and the other for dogs up to 35 lbs. My dog is crate trained but prefers free range so I have dog beds in every single room. Dogs are welcome on furniture but please make sure they have been recently bathed (within a few days before) if you are boarding as we keep our home extremely clean (the carpets get washed every month and vacuum and swiffering are done daily). We are probably not a good fit if your dog does not get along with other dogs, because my dog is still young and very energetic. If your dog does not like to play but does not react aggressively to other dogs attempting to initiate play, Momo would be fine as he does eventually give up if the other dog does not engage him at all. When we schedule a meet and greet, you can expect to meet us outside the front yard for a couple block long walk together before going to the backyard to let the pooches sniff each other out. Since Momo is a chow-mix, he is protective by nature and does not like it if other fur-babies he does not know well try to jump on his mom so I will likely only greet your baby after I put him back in the house.

“Sarah is such a great communicator, we had the pleasure of meeting her Wednesday and she was walking Tully on Friday! So informative and does a great job with him. Very happy we have someone we can depend on!”
“David is an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter! He took amazing care of my boyfriend and I’s two huskies, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. My boyfriend especially gets so so so anxious about anybody watching them, and for him to be at peace 24/7 knowing David was there should say a lot. He was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire process. The numerous photos he sent gave me so much relief and reassurance, knowing my boys were in good hands and having a blast. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! His wife was also extremely sweet and didn’t mind going on walks with our crazy boys and made the cutest art of them.”

About: Since I was thirteen, I have stayed home alone while my parents went to work, up to twelve hours on certain days. I have consistently been an owner of five or more dogs at a time, and I would always manage their meals, potty breaks, and everything in between. I am currently unemployed, so I have my entire days to spend taking care of your dog(s). I only keep my weekends to myself, but all day on weekdays are perfect. Whenever I have cared for my dogs, I always took a low-key, chill approach. As long as I know the dogs' tells for wanting to go to the bathroom, as well as general mealtimes, I usually sit with the dogs, give them pets and playtime, and they are generally happy with that.

I have hands on experience treating animals, and I also just love hanging out. I am reliable and have my own mode of transportation. Super excited to get to know your furry friend! My major allows me to understand your dog's different behaviors and needs. I live right across the street from a park, so if your dog wants to chase a ball all day or just cuddle and watch movies, I can provide the perfect environment. Fluent in English and Spanish. I am more than happy to accommodate you and your dog.
About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.

“Jamie and Brian took such great care of our dog! He is older and can be timid but seemed to have no issues with them and actually ate all his meals which is big for him in unfamiliar places. They were in constant contact and sent lots of pictures of him. We will definitely be bringing him back in the future!”
“Samson had a great stay with Jacque!! I received so many pictures and videos. He really makes leaving your fur baby easy, knowing Jacque and his wife love them like their own. Will definitely be booking again 😊”
“Jessie was the perfect choice to watch our dog Mabel. He spent a lot of quality time with our dog and his two dogs were the perfect play pals. Jessie provided us with regular updates on Mabel to keep our worries at ease. He also included pictures. As this was our first time away from our dog he made sure everything went off without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for a better first Rover experience.”
“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. ”

“Amazing! Our first time using Rover and Amber set the bar! From the start, she made us feel comfortable leaving our puppy in her care. Very knowledgeable in puppy’s and their quirks. She is very communicative - from questions before booking, through booking changes, and while our pup was in her care - kept me posted on how he was doing and even provided pictures! Something that really helps a first time puppy mom! She also kept our puppy active which was great after a long trip - he slept the entire night and even slept in late!! We will for sure use her again and will be sharing her with our other dog friends! I highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Tetiana was wonderful with my two pups! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and it was immediately clear that she loves dogs and is great at caring for them. She was very accommodating with the drop off and pick up time, and then during the stay she provided frequent photos and text updates. Overall, really great dog sitter who I would highly recommend to others!”

“Shelby is a great sitter! She took care of my dog and I received pictures and updates during my stay. We were in Rochester for a short trip and had my dog stay with her. He was a little anxious at first but he was okay later on. Thank you for all your help!”
About: I have always had dogs and cats as a part of my family and I also spent a lot of time cat sitting for friends and family. My family fostered puppies and dogs for several years through a local organization! I am in school studying animal behavior and have done an internship at a cat shelter giving enrichment and behavior training to the particularly shy cats. I work part time, only 3-5 hours a day at a shop a few minutes from my house. Other than work and quick errands from time to time I’m home full time otherwise! I have a huge backyard that is not fenced in, however your pet would have full on leash supervised access to the yard! I have an older cat who gets along very well with other animals.
“Had a great experience with Patrick. We had an unplanned trip for family reasons and had to find a sitter for Whiskey (1yo unfixed cav) a day before leaving. Patrick was very accommodating with this last minute booking and extending Whiskey's stay for another night. Whiskey had an awesome time playing with Moose. We got updates with pictures and videos. We're definitely going to book again for other trips”
