About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Been boarding and running daycare full time for 10+ years. I have studied dog behaviors, CPR trained, used to train and have spent my life learning dogs. Part of my business is even making pet products like bow ties, bandanas, toys, healthy treats, signs and organic paw wax. I run my boarding and daycare full time. It is what i live every day. I board 7 days a week and run daycare Tues-Fri We have a large dog specific room which daycare is run out of (while boarding your dog can join daycare for no extra cost) this room has a dog door that leads to the large fenced in yard. Once daycare is complete or dog dependent, the door comes open and the pups join our pack (2) snuggling on the couch and begging in the kitchen 😉
“Jack has been great with my dog. she goes twice a week for daycare and she is always excited to get there and never wants to leave. Jack has been very flexible and professional!”
About: Loving and caring for your pet is my upmost priority. I have a medical back ground with the love and care that can’t be matched. I am retired from the US Army and have a great deal of time to spend with your baby or babies. I would love to care for and spoil your babies All animals with be 100% watched at all times. No dogs will be just let out. They will be walked , played with and brought out to run. If you have me care for your cat, I will always spend time caring for your cat. I will get down on the floor and play if they like to And I will always clean up after dogs on their walk and clean up cat litter boxes to make sure the cat is comfortable every time it feels the need to use the litter box.
“Taylor is such a life saver being able to watch Whisper on such a short notice. On top of that she was absolutely wonderful with him. She sent me pictures and videos of him running around and having a fantastic time. I would definitely recommend her and would have her watch Whisper again”
“These are the best people my dog has encountered. They answered me for a last minute request on Rover which was a huge blessing. My dog got the chance to experience life on a boat for a day. They interacted with her the entire day, and wore her out. They both gave my dog so much love and she needed it because we're going through a hard time with a temporary small living situation. They were very respectful of how I have raised my own dog and wanted to be positive that I was okay with having my dog going on a boat ride. My dog got to swim for the first time.”
About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old! I love having pets in my home and making them a part of my family. My dog loves every dog she has ever met and loves to have a playmate! If you bring your pet to my house they will be treated like one of my family members! I work full time Monday-Friday 7:30-4, but my husband works from home and I am home all day during the weekends. My husband also loves dogs and has plenty of free time during his work day to take walks and give lots of love! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for running. We are on a cul de sac so there is very little traffic in my part of the neighborhood. My home also has several baby gates to make sure that your pet is safe if I have to leave them in the house for a short amount of time.
“This was our first experience with Rover and our first sitter for our “little” pup. Lauren was great. Very communicative & friendly. Her ranch was such a great experience for our dog with so much to explore. Thank you Lauren”
“David was able to book us within a few days notice and was very friendly and took great care of our dog. he communicated frequently and was able to work with Benders first time being at day care which I really appreciated. Would absolutely book again!”
“We are extremely grateful to have found Anna for our puppy. Chloe had an amazing day full of fun away from her family for the first time. We are so blessed to have found Anna and we definitely will be booking her for the future. Not only is it a fun, loving, safe place but also you can tell she is experienced and loves caring for fur pets. She gave us a report at the end, with a goodie bag and some printed pictures from our pup. She went above and beyond! ❤️🐾”
“Gillian and Mitch and their four pups are absolutely amazing. They were so welcoming of Biscuit, who fit right in with the pack and had a blast. Came home completely tired and ready for dinner and sleep! Gillian kept me posted if his activities throughout the day. We will definitely go back to her.”

“Julia and her partner, Adam, are awesome. They have a great outdoor area for the dogs to run around all day. They were great with drop off (our dog didn't even look back) and great with pickup. Moose had a fantastic time and we will definitely be booking again!”
About: Grew up working on a farm. I'm currently a board member of a local non-profit cat rescue. Have worked with animals a majority of my life. I work seasonally from December till April otherwise have open availability for any types of needs. Can cater to just about any request that is given. I have a large yard that is not fenced in but a chain with plenty of room for running. I currently own two dogs myself which can either co mingle with your puppy or I have space available for them to be separate as well.
“Samantha was great with my 10 month old cardigan welsh corgi. Although she’s timid and more reserved when I’m not around, Samantha managed to get her out of her shell by the end of the day. Would highly recommend, I plan to be a repeat customer for sure!”
About: Hey, I'm Brandon. I've got a rescue pit/boxer mix named Chip who pretty much runs my life. Ive owned dogs since 2019, and I am an animal lover at heart. I'm currently apprenticing under a professional dog trainer and volunteering at a local rescue, working toward doing this full time. So your dog isn't just getting walked - they're getting someone who's actively studying canine behavior and knows how to read and handle a dog I'm comfortable with big dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I'll send you photos and updates so you actually know how it went. Based in Saratoga Springs. Available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I work a flexible schedule with a mix of office days and travel, so I plan my bookings around it and only accept what I know I can fully commit to. Most weekday evenings and weekends are open. I'm also apprenticing with a professional dog trainer and volunteering at a local shelter, so I'm around dogs constantly - your pup won't be an afterthought squeezed into my day. I'll always confirm my availability before booking so there are no surprises. I care for dogs in your home, on your terms. I stick to whatever routine you already have - feeding, walking, potty schedule, house rules - because consistency is what keeps a dog comfortable. I'll follow your instructions exactly on leashes, doors, and anything else, and I'm careful about securing gates and entryways. Because I'm training under a professional dog trainer, I know how to read body language and spot stress or discomfort early, especially with nervous or reactive dogs. You'll get photos and updates every visit so you always know how it went.
“Marianne took amazing care of our dog. Marianne is obviously very experienced animals, was very attentive to our dog’s needs and behaviors and is extremely kind and loving to our furry friends. Highly recommend!”
“Exceptional people! They are extremely responsive and were very welcoming. We set up a meet and greet to make sure Sheba would get along with Bear which made me feel comfortable that I was leaving Sheba in good, capable hands. I get several updates throughout the day which is awesome and they are very flexible with times. 10/10 would recommend to a friend or anyone that needs doggy daycare. Thanks for being awesome guys!”
About: I have been a dog owners for 15 years. My two beautiful shitzus have since gone to the rainbow bridge. I miss those wagging tails and long walks. I would love to share my time and love with your pet. I know how difficult it is to find a sitter and be comfortable while your apart from your fur babies. I have recently retired and home all day. I live in Greenfield Center on 8 private acres nestled in the woods with a large fenced in backyard . I am retired and home all day , I mostly garden and work around the house. Pets would be an added pleasure to my home I have a fenced in backyard. I live in the country at the end of a cul-de-sac my house is one level which makes it easy for little ones and elderly pets.
“Tatiana was amazing! She took care of my two pups very last minute and was very understanding if we were later than expected! Sent me pictures and updates throughout the day 😊. She treats them like they are her own. She also was very considerate with taking everything slow with them (introducing to her dogs). She’s an awesome pet sitter and definitely will be using her again!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ballston Center commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 288 sitters in Ballston Center, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
