About: As a lifelong dog lover, I know just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. About a year ago, I unexpectedly lost my own boy to a sudden heart condition. It broke my heart, and for a while, I couldn’t imagine opening my home to another dog of my own. I do, however, miss having dogs in my life—their personalities, their companionship, and all the joy they bring. That’s what led me to Rover! I’d love the opportunity to give your pup some extra love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of patience, affection, and care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I’d be honored to be that person for you. 🐾❤️ I’m a bartender with a schedule that gives me plenty of flexibility during the weekdays. My days off are often spent getting outside for walks, runs, and enjoying some fresh air, so having a pup to join me would be the perfect addition to my routine! Because I work at a seasonal location, my availability will become even more flexible as the season winds down. I’m looking forward to using that extra time to spend with dogs, whether that means a long walk, some playtime, or simply giving your pup some company and attention while you’re away. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely love being around dogs, so I’d be happy to make your pup part of my everyday routine! 🐾 I have a large two story home with plenty of space for roaming and playing, as well as a fenced in back yard. We do not have any pets at the moment so it’s very easy to accommodate yours.
“We were lucky to connect with Jack through Rover; he dropped in and cared for our dogs and cat throughout our summer vacation. Jack was super nice during our meet and greet- very clearly showing his love and knowledge for animals! We appreciated the updates when he stopped over to care for our critters and we knew they were in good hands!”
“Cassandra is the best. She takes care of my dog while I’m at work and my dog loves her. She is super detailed about her visits and gives my dog her medicine every time she’s there with no problem! I love having Cassandra watch my baby knowing she’s in good hands!”
“I’ve booked with Lydia multiple times now, and every experience has been excellent. She is a great communicator, always sends photo updates, and treats my dog so well. My dog is always happy and comfortable when I return. Highly recommend!”
“I’ve had Kherri come over a few times for drop ins to feed my cat and it’s gone well. She’s on time, does exactly what she’s asked, and gives me useful feedback about the visit. My cat can be a little particular about people but he seems to like Kherri which is great! I’m looking forward to using her services again soon.”
“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Larissa was absolutely amazing with Finn, on late booking she was able to accommodate exactly what we needed on a holiday no less and sent amazing photos and video with Finn. Would definitely recommend her for your pet!!”
“Kelly was great! It was always nice to see the notes/pictures each visit and she made sure she kept me updated on an impromptu issue with happy tail! Not a foreseen issue my Hope had until a few days before, but Kelly made sure to check on her tail often and wrap it when needed.”
“Bri has been great! She's done a great job taking care of our puppy and making sure he's cared for and comfortable! She also takes really fantastic pictures of him. We are very lucky to have found her and couldn't be more pleased!”
“Michelle helped us out in a pinch with a sick cat who needed meds during Christmas. She was very responsive and sent us pictures every time she came to the house. You can tell she really cares about your pets. Thanks again Michelle!”
About: I've been around pets my whole life they are the best thing ever created. I've had a 3 dogs and about probably 13 cats in total growing up. Animals are my passion. I've always taken care of my fur babies before myself. When it comes to my fur babies - they have been a part of my life for nearly a decade. Whether its my own, families, or friends - I'm always striving to offer my attention and care to making sure our four legged friends are not only taken care of but shown love. I'm blessed that I routinely get to balance my week by reducing the burden on pet parents seeing more of my furry friends! I live in a house with a fenced in back yard and a cat that is a sweetheart. I treat other people's pet like my own.
About: As a former caregiver for elderly and disabled individuals, I’ve had the privilege of not only caring for people, but also the pets and homes they deeply love. In many cases, pets are family — and I treat them that way. Through my work in home health and private care, I’ve provided daily support that included: • Feeding pets on consistent schedules • Administering medications when needed • Walking dogs and cleaning up after them • Cleaning litter boxes and maintaining pet hygiene • Providing companionship, playtime, and emotional comfort • Monitoring behavior and health changes • Maintaining a clean, safe, and organized home environment I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty to play with your pups. They also can have playtime with other pups if allowed. I have a fenced and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend safe. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can provide grooming and training services.
“Julianne was easy to reach, flexible and has great communication before, during and after the visit. She is reliable and took the time to play with our puppy and even sent me pictures. We will definitely use her again.”
“Kaitlyn was so amazing! From the moment we did a meet and greet, she was so great with Millie (who is a high-energy pitbull lab mix). She was very respectful of our house and listened to our directions for caring for Millie. We came home to a very happy, well-cared for dog. She sent us a bunch of amazing pictures that made us feel very comfortable and happy while we were away. Kaitlyn is a great communicator, and messaged us back quickly each time. We already have asked her to dog sit again, and Millie can't wait to play with her new friend soon! Thanks Kaitlyn! :)”
“Jessica was fantastic with my cat! I arrived home after having to travel for work to a healthy and happy cat and an apartment that was just the way I had left it. Jessica provided a clear summary of each visit and was overall a great catsitter! Will book again.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Clifton Park is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clifton Park
Heidi was wonderful with Alaïa! 🐾 She came by to walk her and spend some time playing with her, and Alaïa clearly had such a great time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was getting some exercise, attention, and love while we were away. We’re so happy we found Heidi and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! ❤️
Jackie was amazing! She came by for a meet and greet a few days before our booking, which immediately put us at ease. She followed all of our instructions, sent us photos and updates throughout our trip, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. She even went above and beyond by moving our heavy package so it wouldn't get any wetter in the rain. She was attentive, thoughtful, and clearly cared for our pet. We highly recommend Jackie and would absolutely book with her again!
Natasha did a wonderful job of caring for our chihuahua mix, Molly. Natasha has a warm, kind and composed attitude which relaxed our little girl and made her feel safe and comfortable. Our walking situation is a bit challenging as we live in an apartment building with elevators and secure access, but Natasha and Molly had a productive walk with no issues. I would strongly recommend Natasha for any of you dog sitting or walking needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Clifton Park 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!
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
