Kathy is wonderful! She came to meet Mia prior to her first visit and this made us feel so much better since we’ve never used a service like this before. She communicates great and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Our puppy Mia loves her!

Emily did an amazing job taking care of all my animal babies. My two kitties and two sheep loved her. And my chickens and ducks were quite happy as well. I was so happy to know they were all being taken care of while I was away. Thank you Emily!

First time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier! Kylee took care of ny cat and dog while I was away on vacation with 2 drop-in visits per day. I only booked a couple of weeks in advance, and she came just a few days after I sent the request for a meet and greet. Communication was great, she was very loving with my animals, and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Kylee, for a great first experience with Rover.

Haley was so flexible with our 6 month old puppy. She sent frequent updates, made sure he was fed, got his much needed exercise on walks, and was respectful of our home. It was such a relief to have Haley as reliable, trusted sitter while we were at work. Would definitely recommend Haley for any pet sitting needs!

I booked Elaina to do a drop In visit for my 10 week old puppy and my 8 month old puppy. She cleaned up the pee on the floor, let out my two older dogs and stayed over a half an hour to get my stubborn 8 months old puppy back in her kennel. I will definitely be booking again, if she is still willing to accept us after today’s events.

They both made sure to send photos, give updates on the rover card and put my mind at ease knowing my girls were in good hands while I was away on a trip. I will 100% book them again in the future!!

About: I can care for puppies, and give special tender-loving care to senior or disabled dogs. I am skilled at reinforcing training and giving snuggles. Whether your pet needs just a check-in or you'll be out of town for up to week, I will make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for. My dogs have all been special needs, from my last dog: Rowan, Mini Aussie pup that we got from a little farm who had anxiety, to my first dog Abby who had hip dysplasia. All dogs are welcome in my care. I have a strong arm (even if I don't look like it) and will always give the best doggie care I'm able to! I'm currently taking some time off, and I have very open availability. All requests need to be made 4-5 days in advance, I do not serve areas outside of Saratoga City Limits. I believe that the security and safety both of your home and pet come first. If you have special requests please make them known to me. I don't think anyone's home should be treated any differently than the animal that deserves treasuring and nurturing. Your dog will be treated with respect and kindness, their special needs heeded, and their boundaries observed & kept in mind.

About: I have three years of pet care experience, including three years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility and two years as a veterinary assistant. I'm skilled in caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior animals needing extra attention. My veterinary background allows me to confidently handle medications, special diets, and recognize signs of illness. I’m also experienced with anxious or reactive pets and always prioritize their safety and comfort. What sets me apart is my blend of medical knowledge and compassionate, hands-on care. Pet care is an important and consistent part of my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant at a rescue hospital while completing my college degree in animal bioscience, which has deepened both my practical skills and understanding of animal health. Throughout college, I’ve also fostered cats, providing them with daily care, enrichment, and medical support as needed. Before that, I spent three years working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I helped manage feeding, playtime, and behavioral monitoring. Whether through work, fostering, or my studies, caring for animals has always been a central and rewarding part of my daily life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and sticking to their usual routines. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m experienced with administering medications if needed and keeping the home tidy and secure while you're away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so your pets feel safe and happy in their familiar environment.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was young. We've always had dogs and my love for them has only grown with each one I meet. Recently, I've discovered caring for cats has become a passion as well. I believe all animals deserve the best treatment with zero aversives and 100% love, patience, and kindness! I am currently unemployed and in school for dog training, so I am always around and available to help care for your pets! I love being outside and try to incorporate that into my everyday life as much as possible. I care for pets as I would my own. I make sure they have clean water, food is filled, and have snacks (if provided), and multiple walks to ensure they are as enriched as possible until their human returns home.

About: I’ve had animals of every kind since I was a kid. I grew up with 1 cat and 1 dog. I currently have my own 2 cats and 2 dogs. They are my babies! I do work full time at a bank job! So I do have those bankers hours but I would be 100% available for your animals when not at work! I can easily follow the normal of your animals routine. If they love rides I have a backseat sling and we can go to parks or for pupcups.

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds—big, small, and everything in between. From growing up surrounded by dogs and cats to earning a degree in Equine Reproduction and working as a veterinary assistant, animal care has always been at the heart of who I am. Over the past 20 years, I’ve raised four amazing Pitbulls, a spunky Jack Russell, and four cats. Our animals truly are our kids. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens, seniors, and special needs pets, and I’m highly experienced with giving medications, recognizing health issues, and providing basic first aid. Whether I’m staying in your home or dropping in for visits, your pets will be treated like family—because that’s how I see them. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust, and I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do my best to stay flexible for you and your pets. I’m available for most bookings, including weekends, holidays, and even last-minute requests. Whether you need a quick drop-in, an extended stay, or an emergency sitter, I’m here to help. My goal is to make your life easier while giving your pets the consistent, loving care they deserve. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm. I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and potty breaks to favorite toys and cuddle habits—because I know how important the little details are. I aim to keep things stress-free by maintaining your pet’s normal routine, minimizing disruption, and giving them the same love and attention you would. I always treat my clients’ homes with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you’re updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and safe.

Brian is truly amazing with animals. He has a calm, gentle energy that pets immediately respond to, and he’s one of the most responsible and trustworthy people I know. Whether it’s walking a high-energy dog or caring for a shy cat, Brian gives each animal his full attention and care. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with him, and any pet parent can rest easy knowing their furry friend is in the best hands.

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds—big, small, and everything in between. From growing up surrounded by dogs and cats to earning a degree in Equine Reproduction and working as a veterinary assistant, animal care has always been at the heart of who I am. Over the past 20 years, I’ve raised four amazing Pitbulls, a spunky Jack Russell, and four cats. Our animals truly are our kids. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens, seniors, and special needs pets, and I’m highly experienced with giving medications, recognizing health issues, and providing basic first aid. Whether I’m staying in your home or dropping in for visits, your pets will be treated like family—because that’s how I see them. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust, and I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do my best to stay flexible for you and your pets. I’m available for most bookings, including weekends, holidays, and even last-minute requests. Whether you need a quick drop-in, an extended stay, or an emergency sitter, I’m here to help. My goal is to make your life easier while giving your pets the consistent, loving care they deserve. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm. I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and potty breaks to favorite toys and cuddle habits—because I know how important the little details are. I aim to keep things stress-free by maintaining your pet’s normal routine, minimizing disruption, and giving them the same love and attention you would. I always treat my clients’ homes with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you’re updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and safe.
