“I am very pleased with Jonathan for taking care of my dog Piper on Christmas day. She can be a nervous dog but she took to Jonathan very well and was very happy to see him. He has a gentle nature with pets and I highly recommend him to care for your fur babies.”
“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.”
“Net is awesome! She came to the house a few times, to meet Lucy, before our trip so Lucy was comfortable with her. She visited Lucy 4 times per day starting very early and a bedtime visit around 8:00pm. Polite, dependable, caring, professional and dedicated are a few words to describe Net. We will definitely have her take care of Lucy again and I encourage you to have her care for your pet as well! Six out of 5 stars!!”
“Danielle did an amazing job! Each day she showed up in time and sent us Ellie’s report and photos. It made us feel so good knowing that our pup was in such capable hands! We could not be more pleased! And grateful! Highly recommend!!”
About: I have grown up with my three dogs in the house that I have always helped out with and got my two cats when i got my first job following my cats i’ve had as a child. I pet sit for my neighbors when they go on trips and watch their dog and two cats, as well as go over to brush and walk the dog when needed and I have done this for them for 7 years I currently work part time and have lots of free time to take care of your pets! I have time for long and short visits / walks. Safety with the animal and communication with the owner is key! Thanks to my Certifications I know how to properly restrain all size pets if needed, as well as perform CPR if needed.
“Arielle was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and was able to help us out in a pinch! She took great care of our dogs and came by each day at the time requested. We felt our dogs were in good care with Arielle. I would highly recommend her services! We will definitely be using her again!”
“As always, Meg is so compassionate, caring, and gentle with our kitty. She always ensures to feed her her food with her meds, and makes sure her water bowl and litter are attended to. She always spends quality time giving her lots of pets and cuddles and making her feel at ease. We couldn’t recommend Meg enough, if you choose her to watch your little fur baby, you will never be disappointed. Thank you Meg!”
“Sandy is such a lovely person. I have a very anxious cat with separation anxiety and she was so understanding and good with him. She sent picture and video updates every day and was always super responsive. On top of all that, Sandy was so accommodating to my last minute schedule modifications. She's easygoing, kind, and amazing with cats!”
“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.”
About: I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats and could not imagine living without any! I know how important it is to find reliable and loving care for your pets and I can guarantee to love yours like my own. I have my own dog named Bellatrix and a kitten named Donut For the next month I will only be working two week days a week rotating Monday/Tuesday and Wednesday/Thursday and then I will switch to a full time WFH position Monday-Friday with availability for walks/drop ins in the morning and companionship throughout the day at my home if it is a good fit. At home pets would be allowed anywhere in the house and we have a nice wooded area in the backyard. If I am visiting your home I would be able to accomodate whatever you are comfortable with.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for all kinds of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Newfoundlands, and have experience with puppies as young as 3 weeks old as well as senior dogs up to 14 years old. I’m comfortable with dogs of all temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, learning basic commands, or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have experience with basic training and enjoy helping reinforce good habits and routines in a positive way. Every dog has their own personality, so I like to take the time to get to know what makes them feel coming. My goal is to provide dependable care while giving pet parents peace of mind. At the end of the day, our pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like they’re part of mine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, having pets myself, and I make it a priority to be dependable and punctual. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to maintain their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, play sessions, or drop in visits. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, making pet care something I genuinely look forward to each day. Safety is a top priority for me, especially during walks. I take the time to properly understand each pet’s behavior, triggers, and comfort level before heading out, and I stay attentive to their surroundings at all times to ensure they are secure and well managed. I like to follow key safety precautions like using properly fitted leashes and harnesses, avoiding high-traffic or overstimulating areas when needed, checking gates and doors carefully, and always keeping a secure hold on pets when entering or exiting spaces. I also focus on building trust with each pet by moving at their pace, using calm and consistent body language, and allowing them to become comfortable with me before expecting too much interaction. I pay attention to their signals and respect their boundaries, which helps create a sense of safety and reliability. Over time, this helps pets feel more at ease with me, making walks and in home care smoother and more comfortable for them.
“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!”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! With both my cats being terrified of people, she did a great job in giving them their space and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to come out and eat while she waited. This is the first time I’ve ever had to have somebody come over and feed them when I wasn’t home so I was extremely nervous, but everything went perfectly! (Even though she had to track them down for a picture at the end 😭)”
“This is our 4th booking with Larissa for our shy cats, and we’re so lucky to have her again. She gives them loving, attentive care and always communicates thoughtfully :)”
“The lil ones always seem to really like amd feel super comfortable with Kaitlyn! She does a great job so I've booked with her repeatedly and plan to continue:) She's always fantastic and super fast with communication, plus she always gives that extra effort which makes me feel confident and comfortable with having her watch my kiddos.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have cared for my friends and families pets. Experienced with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes! I am currently working part time and my work schedule is extremely flexible so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets! I love playing with and spending time with my animals and others animals as well. I make sure all the pets have water and are fed properly as well as ensure they have plenty of outside time if desired!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clifton Park
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.
We had a great experience with Brielle! She was always on time, extremely trustworthy, and kept us well informed throughout her time caring for our pets. She took wonderful care of our dog and two cats, giving each of them attention and love. Our dog can be a little jumpy and overly excited when meeting people, but Brielle handled him with ease and confidence. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Clifton Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

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.
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.
To find sitters in Clifton Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
