“Mary-Kate was wonderful. Arrived perfectly on time, very personable, KOBE loved her. She sent photos, was attentive to his needs, and we've booked her again.”
“Nicole was absolutely incredible! She was communicative, gave regular updates and took incredible pictures! Scout absolutely loved her, and she left my home immaculate. I can’t thank you enough Nicole for caring for my baby like he was your own!”
“Emily was excellent with our two cats. She stopped by twice before our trip to meet our cats and go over their needs. She stayed overnight with them for two nights, giving them plenty of attention and being very communicative about the cats receiving their medication, including sharing photos. Emily was great, and we highly recommend her; we plan to hire her again for our next trip.”
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.
“Patricia was great to work with, she always sent multiple pictures and updates with each visit while she house sat our two goofy senior dogs. Thanks for taking great care of them!”
“Kayla was AMAZING! She gave me peace of mind while I was away, knowing that Tucker was with someone who really cared for him. Kayla watched my pup for a few days over Thanksgiving and was very communicative and flexible. Definitely will be using her again!”
“We were so grateful to have found Anna for this stay!! She was very helpful and stayed in touch with updates and photos. We were extra worried about leaving Lexi for this trip, as it was our first time away after our other dog passed. Anna was so understanding and took great care of our baby (and house!) while we were gone!! Thank you so much Anna!!!”
“We went away on a day trip and Karla spent the day with our boys. She took such great care of them! We would definitely recommend Karla and will be working with her again in the near future!”
“I couldn’t say enough nice things about Rachelle and how she cared for our fur babies while we were on an extended vacation! She sent pics and updates every day and she loves our pets and took care of them like they were her own. 5+ stars for Rachelle - thank you for everything you did and for a worry free time for us knowing you were there!”
About: Hello! My name is Alyssa. Pets have been apart my my family my entire life. My pets are my babies, so I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in loving, reliable hands. I have plenty of experience pet sitting and will carefully follow any instructions you provide to make sure your pets routine stays as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I’m comfortable with giving medications, monitoring eating and behavior, providing extra care for senior or special-needs pets, and giving lots of love and attention. I’m happy to send lots photos and videos. Your pet will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own ❤️ I work full-time during the week, and am usually home 2-3 days. I’m available for morning and evening drop-ins, from 6:30-7am and evening visits typically around 5:30-6pm. If your cat needs a little extra attention I don’t mind making additional drop-ins during my workday as long as I’m working from home! I sometimes work on the weekend, so mid day drop-in may be limited. I prefer overnight stays to be booked in advance so I can properly plan and clear my schedule. I also understand that plans can change and am very flexible with cancellations. When I’m caring for your cats in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect I give your pets. I’m tidy, respectful, and will make sure everything is left just as I found it. 🐾 I like to keep cats on a routine and make their time with me feel as normal and comfortable as possible. My typical day in my home starts with greeting the kitties (of course) and preparing their breakfast. My cats get dry food about an hour after their morning wet food (sometimes they are sneaky and get a second breakfast from their dad). Depending on my schedule, we’ll hang out, play with their favorite toys, and of course have plenty of snuggle time. In the evening, they get dry food for dinner. My current routine is much simpler. I’m extremely comfortable with special feeding routines and extra care. When I had my late cat, Max, I prepared his food separately because he needed medication and had very specific dietary needs. He required a lot of liquids, so I would make what I lovingly called “cat food soup” for him. It taught me that caring for a cat sometimes means getting creative and putting in a little extra effort to make sure they’re comfortable and getting exactly what they need. If your cat has a specific feeding schedule, medication, dietary restrictions, or other special requirements, I’m not afraid to take on the task. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible while you’re away!
“Shyma did an amazing job watching our 3 big dogs while we were gone. Loved the fun updates. Shyma even went the extra mile by brushing our Husky and bringing our dog who is a little more of a lone wolf on a solo walk to the park to make sure she got some extra 1:1 time.”
About: Its been 3 years since I’ve last been on Rover due to having a small child so I’m starting out on here all over again ☺️ My daughter is in school and camp now so I have time to help owners who don’t have a flexible schedule make sure their loved animals are taken care of. I have a big dog of my own who stays in the yard most the day or on the couch! He plays great with other dogs & is also a lover. I am a free spirt. I love hiking , trails, or just walking in the neighborhood. I offer hair brushing, bathing animals, nail clipping/grinding, and can brush their teeth if needed. I love taking dogs swimming at lakes and streams, running, and exercising animals are also some other fun things I offer. I’m full of energy & love animals- my favorite animals are horses & dogs. I am a self employed hairstylist so I have time to help since I make my own work schedules. Since I do not have a set work schedule if my services are needed for longer visits I can definitely make that happen. I’m able to start today or tomorrow and am very excited to help with your little family members 🐶🐱Thank you very much Ali Gant I am self employed so my hours are very flexible. I can also run home fast or to your house anytime to let an animal out for their feeding or walk. I have a safe environment and work on safety in others homes. The collar and leash will be put on before the front door opens so no running out the door is possible. Practice sitting before the door opens is a positive start to any walk.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life. This is the first time since I was 6 years old that I don't have a pup to take care of. I grew up in a very pet oriented household (including cats, dogs and pet pigs). I used to volunteer with my mom at the Mohawk Humane Society so I have a lot of experience with all different kinds of dogs. I live in a great walkable neighborhood with lots of greenery trails. I do work full time so I am not available from 8am-5pm but I have a very flexible schedule on weekends and nights after 5pm. I currently work full time at a Cardiologist Practice so I am available for walks and dog sitting on weekends only. I am available after 6pm for night time dog walks as well. I live in a very walkable area with lots of trails / sidewalks that I personally enjoy walking on daily. I do not personally have any animals so I have a lot of space and attention to give to a pup.
“Abby was a great help while on our trip. Our animals are high maintenance and she took it in stride. Unfortunately, our dog had an upset stomach and had an accident in the house and Abby pivoted quickly to make sure he was okay.”
“Emma took great care of our beagle who has severe separation anxiety. This was our 1st time leaving her for an overnight, much less 8 days. She did great, and really bonded with Emma.”
About: I have, of course experience as a pet lover as a young child, merely watching and walking the dogs, feeding and changing litter/ picking up after the dogs. I never fully had responsibility and experience until I adopted my pal Leo. He is a high energy lab retriever and puts me through every step of patience! All in all, it has taught me to be stern and serious when needed, but flip it around to fun and playful as well. My boy knows to respect me and listen when i give a command. I know with my body language and direct nature will ensure your pups and kitties are loved and watched over. I will give your pets the time and attention you allow and ensure that while you are away there is plenty of fun to be had, and plenty of adventure as well :) I will be enrolling in school online at SNHU and will be taking courses at home. I will have afternoons and evenings off, So, plenty of free time for your beloved furry companions. I have experience with all types of dogs, not so much cats, but i am a day by day learner! I take everything into opportunity to gain a new skill. I will ensure your pet feels safe and secure with me, all of their needs will be met so long as they are in my care! :)
“Missy and Jeremy are wonderful!! We receive pictures and an update every day; the sheets on the bed are washed and the bed is remade; towels are washed and folded; and, the house is in perfect order!! We never worry when they are our pet sitter.”
About: Hi! 🐾❤️ Animals have always had a special place in my heart! I have over 9 years of experience caring for my own pets and 4 years of experience with Rover and fostering.

I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, keeping them happy, and making sure they receive all the attention and affection they deserve. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’ll always do my best to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your little one is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventures or prefers relaxing and cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐶🐱💕 I am currently working full time Monday-Friday with fridays work from home and my hours are adjustable between 730-330 and will be available after 3 on week days and free all day Saturday and Sunday.

About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clifton Park
Nicole sat with our dog over a long weekend. We could tell from the pictures she sent us he was happy and content expressing his usual facial expressions and energy. She communicated with us, shared photos and responded in a timely way. We will keep Nicole as our doggie contact for future sitting needs.
Rachelle was great! She took great care of Nico, a 7 yr old Great Dane for a weekend ( overnight stays). The communication and pictures kept us at ease while we were away. It was a great alternative to boarding and we highly recommended Rachelle. Nico gives her 5 paws and we’d definitely use Rachelle again.
Gloria took fantastic care of my pup while housesitting. She provided frequent updates and was very responsive when I needed to reach out with random requests. She did a great job administering oral medication, making sure to update me that they had been given each day. She was also very patient and gentle with my very anxious pup, observing body language and adjusting as needed to keep my pup as comfortable as possible. She was very respectful of my home, and left it in great condition!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Clifton Park is $75 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $91 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Clifton Park 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 Clifton Park 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 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!
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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clifton Park. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
