“I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★”
About: Growing up, I had 4 dogs and a cat, seperated between households. More recently, I've been much more cat oriented since my partner is a lover of cats. I try to stay up to date on training research, and I'm big on communication! Your pet is your family member, and I want to know how to treat them best! I'm a freelancer so my schedule is always changing! I travel a lot both locally and further so making stops and changes in my plans are normal for me! I like to know exactly how you want your pet treated so expect lots of questions so I can ensure your pet feels safe and happy while their best friend (you) is away!
“Nikki was awesome with mg two dogs!! Very attentive and loving! Also very helpful around my house; watering my plants while I was away!! Highly recommend and will book Nikki again!!”
“Laurie filled in for us (on short notice ) for a 10 day vacation when our previous dog sitter was unavailable. She agreed to meet our dog (and us) the day after we contacted her. We liked her immediately- she was prompt, organized, flexible, friendly, and our dog warmed up to her quickly. During our vacation, she updated us, sent photos, and asked appropriate questions. Our dog seemed happy and our house was clean on our return. She also watered our plants/ gardens and picked up sticks after a wind storm! We would hire her again!”
“Ricky did amazing! I have two dogs we rescued, little dachshunds. One of the boys we have can be loud, and aggressive. My partner and I were very anxious going into this fearful of any lash outs or boy could have. Ricky handled the my boys with tenderness and loving care. By the last day I was told my naughty boy was excited to see him come through the door for their daily walks. You’re amazing Ricky!”
“Marty’s stay helped make my vacation away even more relaxing, knowing that the pups were so well taken care of! She was communicative with adorable updates & pictures of the pups enjoying their usual activities. It was a great feeling knowing we were all at ease. Marty will be my first choice sitter going forward & I’ve already recommended her to others as well.”
“Communicative, friendly, and sent great pictures throughout the stay. House was clean and my pup was happy and calm when I returned - which is a great sign that she enjoyed her week with Eric!”
About: I have had much experience around animals. From the time I was little, our family has taken care of 3 dog and 5 cats. As I grew up, I have had my own cat that lived with me for 18 years, name was Virginia. She was half siamese. I am currently working partime, so I will have plenty of time working with your pups and cats! I am also available on the weekend for boarding! I have a nice apartment in a safe neighborhood in Irondequoit. I can walk and housesit your cat/dog in a safe place. Their is also a dog park behind my home.
About: When I was in middle school, my science teacher went to the Philippines for the whole summer. I took care of her mices, dogs, guinea pigs and more. Growing up in Iowa, I have been around many animals including dogs. Also I have had friends who traveled to Europe and they had to leave their poodles, black labs and many more and trusted their dogs in my care at their home for a month or two weeks if needed when I lived in Washington state before moving to Honeoye Falls. When I dog sat, I made sure I gave medicine as instructed to the dogs as needed. I played with them, took them hiking, the beach, cuddled on the couch and learned about what they liked and don’t like and what makes them happy. I made sure that their owners were happy as well. When I was asked to come and dog sit again, the dogs would be waiting at the window waiting for my arrival. These dogs were sure happy to see me when I came back to dog sit them! I have plenty of time to play with your pups 🐶I would be available for boarding on the weekends and week days after 4pm. I would be happy to give lots of love and attention/play to your fur babies! I have a fenced yard and have two fur babies who love to socialize. I also love to spoil your dogs too! I work from home twice a week and can pet sit on the weekends as well! As for dog sitting in the client’s home I would treat your place with respect, love and care. Anything you need I will make sure that your pets receive it. I will also communicate and send pictures!
“Sierra once again took care of my old dog, Sammy. She gives him all his medicine on time. She is flexible with the schedule. This is the third time I’ve use her. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter”
About: About Me: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands‑on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I grew up with a dog for eight years, and as an adult I’ve continued to care for dogs through family, friends, and Rover. My Experience: - Raised and trained my own German Shepherd from puppyhood with both personal training and help from a professional - Cared for my sister’s two dogs - Boarded multiple dogs in my home through Rover - House‑sat for families and watched their dogs - Provided post‑surgery care, including after her spay - Comfortable giving pills or medications - Confident walking large or strong dogs What I Offer: I love getting outside, playing, going for walks, and making sure each dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just some extra affection, I’m here to help. I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog! I go to the gym in the mornings and early evenings. My days are pretty wide open and flexible. I would love to be able to take your dog outside and go for walks. I want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. If I am sitting at your home, then I want to make sure they are in their normal routine and doing the things they enjoy and need on a daily basis.
“Ona is wonderful. We were gone for about 2 weeks and she was wonderful for all our critters including (one large dog with some separation anxiety, one large dog who can be bit of a handful on walks). She communicated with me daily. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our home and beloved pets were in such good hands.”
About: I work at a doggy daycare! I aspire to learn more about training and grooming! I also have pet store experience and work with small animals reptiles, and birds! i work at a doggy daycare in Henrietta. I have a pretty flexible schedule and an happy to help in mornings, nights, overnights, and on my days off! I can not offer night services at my apartment, but I will gladly house sit or check on your pups at night! I'm a super flexible person who is always looking for new opportunities!
“Kevan was really great with our boy Ruckus, who can sometimes be a handful! Kevon was very communicative and kept us updated on everything. He was also able to sit for us last minute and responded quickly to our request. We've already booked him again for an upcoming trip. It's great to know our fur baby is in good hands!”
“Words cannot express how highly we think of Emily. We have used her often and she is fantastic but during the recent stay she went above and beyond. She identified that our dog was having a medical emergency, she took him to urgent care and then drove an hour and a half each way to get a prescription that he urgently needed (it was not available locally). She may literally have saved his eyesight. We will always be grateful for Emily and five stars is not nearly a high enough rating.”
“Saoirse was absolutely amazing!!! We have never used a pet sitting service before, so we were looking for someone who would be the best fit, and she certainly was!!! She sent frequent photos, videos and updates, and was great with communication! The pets looked so happy and well taken care of for the duration of her stay. It gave us peace of mind while we were away. The house was clean and the pets were happy upon our return. She paid special attention to the safety concerns we had with one of our more reactive dogs to ensure the safety and well being of all of our pets! We have already re-booked with Saoirse for next month!”

Cassidy took great care of our dog Scooby, who is a 100 pound German shepherd. She spent the night in our house with him, took him out multiple times a day, fed and played with him, while sending us pictures and keeping us updated throughout our entire trip. Scooby never had a sitter before but Cassidy made him feel comfortable the entire time. We arrived home to a happy and healthy boy. We would absolutely recommend Cassidy and hope to use her again in the future!
Our cat Lily loved Corinne and so did we! She has the sensitivity needed to work with animals. She was very responsible, communicative, and I swear that our place was cleaner than we left it! She has earned our trust and will always be our first choice for cat sitter in Rochester.
Marina is simply fabulous! She keeps my dog safe, happy, and is very responsive and flexible. She sends pictures regularly and keeps me up to date on how things are going. When we had a mix up and picked him up two hours late, she was flexible and forgiving. I would recommend her to anyone!
Whitney did a great job with my very anxious and timid Lily. She kept me up to date and sent photos. She was a last minute sitter and I am so thankful I found her! Whitney said she had a pup like Lily in the past so she knew how to care for Lily. Lily appears well cared for and happy! I would definitely ask Whitney to sit again for Lily!

FAQs for House Sitting - West Henrietta
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Henrietta on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 562 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Henrietta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred West Henrietta walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in West Henrietta maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Henrietta choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
