“Dani has been a great caretaker for my cat. She is present, detailed, and loving and able to care for all the details my cat needs, I’m so so grateful and I highly recommend!”
“We love having Kelsee watch our three pups! We have an older dog that requires medicine daily, a 100lbs dog, and one other younger medium size dog. All three of our dogs love Kelsee! She snuggles and plays with them and sends us pictures. She is detail oriented and all of requests were followed. We appreciate knowing we can take a family trip and know our fur babies are well taken care of!”
“Hannah clearly has a heart for animals! I had her come over for a "meet and greet" with my pup Luna who can be very timid around new people, but Luna clearly thinks Hannah is okay! We look forward to doing some doggie day care with Hannah in the future :)”
“Willow watched our house and animals while we went overseas for over 2 weeks. She did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, the chickens and Baba the turkey. She also was in charge of keeping our gardens watered during super hot tempertures. And she managed to keep all my bird feeders and hummingbird feeders well maintained. It was a lot to expect from someone, but Willow proved to be the right choice for this job. I am very thankful that we found her. I will definitely use her again for our next outing. Thank you.”
“Mia was wonderful with our cat and very responsive and always sent a bunch of pictures to us!! It was so sweet she even found out our cats little quirks such as his favorite thing of having a human scratch his scratching post with him haha. She also provided him with his oral steroids throughout. Would recommend Mia to anyone!”
About: I am passionate about our animal friends and hope to add more pets to my daily life! I especially love pup time and am always excited to meet more friends. I’d love to help you and your family by offering quality, caring service to your pets. (: Currently I am offering sitting and drop-in visits seperately but due to health needs I am most able to provide exercise, energy expenditure and mental and physical enrichment either from your home or via outings. I do have a service dog that accompanies me most places and he loves making new friends, which can be a great option if yours also enjoy regular playdates. He is good with kids, cats and other dogs, if you have any questions feel free to ask! I am always open to making other arrangements based on your needs and prioritize finding accessible solutions and making accommodations to ensure your pets are able to recieve quality care. (: I am available in the morning through evening as well as overnight! I’d love to work around your schedule and to help make things as accessible as possible! Currently I am not offering boarding or daycare in my home. I am in a shared living space and unfortunately don’t have enough room for more furry friends at this time.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for helping them feel happy, safe, and cared for. I've worked at a dog daycare that practices fear-free, positive-reinforcement-based care, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all personalities, needs, and energy levels. I’ve also worked at an animal shelter, where I cared for dogs with a wide variety of behavioral and physical needs, further strengthening my ability to meet each dog where they are and provide patient, compassionate care. I’m trained in dog first aid and am also a proud owner of a large dog, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your best friend. My goal is to provide every dog with the patience, attention, enrichment, and support they deserve while respecting their individual boundaries and comfort levels. Whether your dog is energetic, nervous, elderly, needs extra support, or simply loves some good company, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work flexible hours so I can work with you to build a schedule that works for you and your pets. I’m focused on setting up a system that works best for everyone. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment while keeping their normal schedule as consistent as possible. I’m attentive to feeding routines, exercise, play, enrichment, medications if needed, and plenty of companionship and affection. I prioritize positive reinforcement, patience, and respecting each dog’s boundaries and comfort level. My goal is always for them to feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away. I also make sure to provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

Kelsee is always such a phenomenal dog sitter! Our pups are so happy that she snuggles and plays with them during her drop in visits to our home. She is so thoughtful, thinking of the smallest details and she always sends the most fun pictures of our pups. We recently had one of our pups pass and Kelsee was so understanding of our changes in routines as the dynamics have been so different since losing a beloved and important member of our pack. We never have a worry when Kelsee is taking care of our dogs and she is the only sitter we ever want to use!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Latham is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Latham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
