“Jackie is awesome with our dogs! She is communicative and makes sure they are well loved and well taken care of while we’re gone (and leaves the house clean and neat for our return!) we love her (and our dogs do too, most importantly!)”
“We hired Ryan to stay at our house while we were on vacation. We have a high maintenance dog and older cat, and I’m a little type A, so I was a teeny bit worried. I did not need to be at all. Ryan was awesome! He kept us updated with photos, asked questions if he wasn’t sure about something and loved our pets! They were both very happy when we got home. In fact, I’m booking Ryan again, in a month, for an overnight stay! Can’t say enough good things, very happy I found him!”
“Nafisa was a wonderful house and dog sitter. She took amazing care of both house and our Pomeranian. Every day provided she provided updates and photos. We would highly recommend her to hire. She’s a lovely, kind person who really exceeded our expectations.”
“Professional and talented house sitter! We had to leave town last minute and Elisabeth was here on schedule to meet and care for our dogs. She made record progress with our one who can be reactive to strangers, and kept them on their routine while we were away. Thanks and we will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Katelyn has stayed with our English bulldog Ozzy several times and she is fantastic! Our initial meet and greet was very detailed and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She not only takes great care of Ozzy, but she sends lots of updates and makes sure your house is nice & tidy after her stay. Highly recommend Katelyn.”
“Christina is truly the sweetest and most caring pet sitter! She has such a genuine love for animals and it really shines through from the moment we met and throughout the entire pet sitting stay. She kept us informed with lots of cute pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and was really on top of the specific needs for our senior dog.”

I am home all day and take my dogs for at least three walks a day and we usually visit a park daily.
“Caitlin took care of our cat for roughly 9 days when we went on vacation. She provided peace of mind having someone here with our young kitty who has separation anxiety. The house looked great when we got back and he was well cared for.”

About: I grew up with a variety of animals all around me, but I have especial experience with dogs and cats. I am a cat mama of 1 sweet, docile senior kitty. I am a current incoming 1st year medical student at the Jacobs School of Medicine, and I would love to take care of the furry friends in my new community! I am a full-time medical student. My first priority when I return home is my sweet old kitty, and your pet would join him in that spot as well! I am prompt to give abundant attention and play, and I follow a diligent feeding schedule. My cat is very socialized (grew up in a household of 7 people and 4 other cats/dogs), and he is fully up-to-date on his vaccinations. I love animals and would love to give a little extra care to others’ fur babies when I can! The safety and wellbeing of my cat is my number one priority, and I treat all animals to this same standard. I love showering my cat with attention, and I of course would pour my love into your pet as well. I am extremely mindful of respecting animals’ boundaries as well, and playing to the tune that is right for them. I love to embrace the unique animal personalities which come my way, and I am happy to accommodate pet needs as they present!
“Kara did a great job taking care of Tiki😊. She asked questions when needed and sent updates and photos daily. This was my first experience with having someone petting for a week and I was able to relax without worry. I will definitely reach out again!”
About: Hi! I'm Lee. I've cared for animals for over 20 years, including three dogs of my own, and I've been pet sitting for friends, family, and others for the past four years. I love both cats and dogs and enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. Whether they're playful or cuddly, I focus on helping them feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. Every pet receives patience, attention, and plenty of affection. Pet sitting fits into my schedule very naturally because I have a flexible work life as a hairstylist. My days are usually built around client appointments, which allows me to open time for pet care in between services, early mornings, evenings, and sometimes full days when I’m not booked. On lighter workdays, I can take on drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. On slower days or weekends, I’m available for longer care or overnight stays. I plan my schedule carefully so I can give each pet my full attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for without rushing their time with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they are always safe, comfortable, and on a consistent routine. I always provide fresh, clean water throughout the day so pets stay hydrated. For feeding, I keep a structured schedule so they know what to expect—breakfast is served no later than 8:00 AM and dinner is served no later than 6:00 PM, unless the owner provides a different routine. For dogs, I always make sure they are securely on a leash or harness before they step outside. Their safety is my top priority, and I stay alert to make sure they don’t get into anything dangerous, such as trash, bones, or anything on the ground that could harm them. Inside the home, I maintain a pet-friendly environment by keeping an eye on their behavior and making sure they stay away from hazards like electrical wires or anything they could chew or swallow. I also make sure they have a safe space where they can play, relax, and move around comfortably without risk. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where pets feel secure, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.
“Haley took care of our dogs while we were on vacation. We were able to fully relax and enjoy our time because she went so above and beyond with our girls! They were spoiled and cared for at the highest degree. She is a wonderful resource and person that we trust completely. She will be our go to for everything. Can't recommend her enough!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since i was a kid. I had my first pet when I was 8 and been a dog lover ever since. Now I have my own two little troublemakers Tobi and Canela, who I've had for 6 years and 2 years respectively. I've had them both since they were small puppies so I have a lot of experience with puppy care. I live a pretty active lifestyle so I love to go for long walks with my dogs and I would definitely be providing the same for your pets. I love to play with dogs and I've definitely been guilty of buying far too many toys for my pups to play with. I provide house sitting, overnight stays, dog walking services, and puppy care. I love to take pictures of animals so you'd also be receiving lots of playtime pictures! Your pets will be my passion and I'm ready to provide any and all services at a good affordable rate! I work full time M-F 9-5 so I can usually accommodate any care around those hours. I typically have very free weekends allowing me to take care of your pets whenever it's needed. I have a lot of experience with crate training as my younger dog needed it to curb her destructive tendencies when she was left alone at home. I also have plenty of experience with potty training as I've trained both my dogs to be potty trained to go on their pads when they need to potty while I'm away. For any drop in visits I would make sure your pet has had a good amount of enrichment play and gotten plenty of love and affection before my visit with them ends
“So responsive, knew how to work with a dog that is needy! Sent tons of pictures, since I was nervous leaving him. He loved her from the start, she has a great vibe that dogs can read. Very impressed, definitely will hire again!”
“Carolyn so kindly came and watched Charlie on very short notice. She is so knowledgeable about dogs and so kind when she speaks to him, I knew he was in good hands. She sent a lot of updates and photos. I will absolutely ask her to care for him in the future. I can’t say enough good things about her.”
About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the trusted human servant of many adorable dogs and cats! I have experience caring for both small and large dogs, including overnight stays where I make sure pets feel safe, loved, entertained, and spoiled with attention while their humans are away. Whether it’s long walks, couch cuddles, playtime, belly rubs, or keeping up with their normal routines, I’m happy to give pets all the love and companionship they deserve. I work a full time hybrid job that allows me to spend half days at home daily, so I have the flexibility to check in on fur friends and your home at any time! I currently work full time but hybrid so I have the flexibility to stay home with furry friends and provide the care they need most! I always prioritize pet safety by maintaining a clean, calm environments, following routines carefully, securing doors and leashes, and giving every pet attentive, loving supervision.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Seneca
Nicole did an excellent job in our home for an extended stay of 13 days with our 2 dogs. She was great with daily pupdates and pictures-which were greatly appreciated because we missed our babies. She dispensed meds several times a day to our senior German Shepherd and was able to keep our very active, lovable, snuggly -yet sometimes naughty Whippet puppy busy. I knew from the minute I met her that she was a great fit for us and I’d use her every time we need someone to stay or drop in for us!
Christina is truly the sweetest and most caring pet sitter! She has such a genuine love for animals and it really shines through from the moment we met and throughout the entire pet sitting stay. She kept us informed with lots of cute pictures and videos throughout the weekend, and was really on top of the specific needs for our senior dog.
We are so grateful to Callie for the amazing care she gave our dog on our wedding day. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and caring the entire time. Knowing our dog was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind during such an important day for us. She was always attentive, patient, and very professional. She truly helped make our day feel less stressful and even more special. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would trust her again without hesitation! 🐾
Allyson was wonderful to work with. She took very good care of all of my fur babies. She was prompt in responding, sent us pictures daily, was flexible in her schedule to be able to stick to my pups routine, & kept the house. All of our babies were happy and calm when we returned. So happy with the results & will definitely be using her again! Thank you Allyson!
The dogs had a great time and really enjoyed being with Jeannine. She did take good care of them, she took them for walks and fed them. She did send too the cutest photos of my dogs Lucy and Bandit. I also really appreciate that she watched them last min for me when my other sitter unexpectly canceled the day before I left. Overall, very happy.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Seneca
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in West Seneca on Rover is $53.5 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 587 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Seneca. 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 Seneca 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 Seneca 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 Seneca 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Seneca. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 87% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
