“Scott was fantastic while taking care of our cats for the weekend. He clearly has lots of experience with cats and animals of all kinds. Scott made sure to ask good questions regarding their care needs which made me feel very comfortable having him watch our cats while we were gone. I will certainly be having Scott watch them again!”

About: I have taken care of many different animals over the course of my life including but omitted to dogs and cats. I have owned many animals including but not limited too dogs and cats Animals are our best friends and give us love we don’t always get from people. I have experience with giving supplements and medications as well as basic wound care. I want our pets to feel safe secure and comfortable at all times. I have worked with animals of all ages and training. References upon request. I currently am ending employment - 9/25/26 to pursue being a stay at home mom and looking to do some something PT and flexible to work around my families needs. I will be very flexible for all your pet care needs for short and extended absences. My animals are fed twice a day with multiple time a day potty breaks. I use wood pellets for cat litter as it’s better on the environment and my cat’s lungs. The yard is picked up multiple times a week for feces. I have a fenced in yard and open area that I have ecollar trained my dog to use for more exercise. Depending on your schedule I would be happy to work around my pets schedule so they get fed bathroom breaks and exercise that you request.

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: Originally went to school for veterinary medicine/technician. Been pet sitting since I was 14. Have experience with all ages or dogs. When I visit, I do stay for 30 minutes-if it's just a check in- to make sure they get attention or stretch their legs. I am available from 9am-3pm Monday through Friday. I can do overnights as well but I would need minimum 1 month notice. My spouse and I share a car- for now - so the weekly routine is from Monday- Friday 830 am - 3 pm that I am available unless already booked. I don't mind booking out if that's something desired. All pets require different care based on age, health, and personality. I do try to get as much energy out with dogs before leaving - I have been known to play fetch for hours- as well as attention. I require meeting both owners and pets before actually sitting, just to get an idea of how the owner is with their pets, as well as, their pets with their owners. I believe in positive reinforcement like rewards or positive affirmations (good boy, etc.). I also believe in routines for animals so if they take naps during certain times or medication, it'll need to be discussed in initial meeting.

About: I am very reliable when it comes to working with animals, even farm animals! I am honored to be building long lasting relationships with both animals and their owners. I am a Veterinarian Technician. Since I was young I’ve loved animals — both learning about and taking care of them. There’s nothing I love more than being around animals everyday! I have a number of clients who have become more like family, and customers who consider me to be an integral member of their family.

She also sent detailed updates and photos after each visit. We really appreciated how caring, attentive, and thoughtful Katie was with our cats!”

About: I grew up taking care of my families pets (dogs, cats, turtles, etc.) so looking after animals has always felt natural to me. I have an Aussie mix now, and we stay active with walks, hiking, and of course fetch. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’ll treat your pet like my own with reliable care, plenty of attention, and a caring presence whether I’m stopping by or staying over. I’m building my own chiropractic practice, so I set my own schedule and have the flexibility to fit in walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around my day. I’ll follow your instructions exactly, whether that’s feeding times, meds, leash rules, or how you want updates. Your pet gets the same care I’d give my own: attention, a solid walk or play session, and a calm check-in so they feel settled while you’re away.

“Glenn and Diana were the best sitters ever! We have a very hyper, young lab who does not like to be left alone. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before and Glenn and Diana provided us with not only did they provide excellent pet care, but they were extremely flexible with several last minute schedule changes. They also helped us navigate the Rover app to help correct errors on our part as well as giving our dog some short training sessions with sit, down, and stay while they were spending time with her. Glenn and Diana played a lot of fetch with the dog and gave our cat tons of attention too. Great sitters who really put us at ease! We highly recommend them and Rover!”

About: I have taken care of 3 dogs since the age of 11 as my family pets. Since moving out on my own, I have an Australian shepherd and an orange kitten that have become my world! I have dog sat/cat sat for friends and family, walked, fed, played, and loved them as if they were my own! I currently work full time night shift in Albany, NY Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights. I am free all day Wednesday through Saturday but, am willing to work out certain hours Sunday-Tuesday if needed! I love to walk dogs! On the road, I am always cautious of cars, people, and even other dogs. If your pet prefers to stay close to home, playing outside is what we will do. I am always putting the pet's needs and comfort before anything else!

About: I have had a love for animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs and loved helping take care of them. I currently have my own dog, who I absolutely adore, and we love going on walks, playing, and exploring new places together! I also have experience caring for cats, including feeding them, giving them medication, and making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, and I always make it my priority to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. I would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies and treat them like my own! 🐾❤️ I currently work in Saratoga hospital 3 times a week, Sunday Wednesday and Friday! I am in school for nursing but my schedule is extremely flexible with that and most of my classes are online! I will follow the directions my client gives me on how to handle their pets in their home. Where I let them out, how much I feed them, if I can take them on a walk ect!

About: Grew up with cats and dogs. Always made myself available to watch friends pets. Have my own dog now. Want to spend more time with the good-est pooches and kitties. Looking for additional income to take on more pets in my own home! I work from home on my own schedule. So I’m generally open and have the ability to move other commitments, if needed. I’m excited to be taking on a few extra per tasks per day. I have a four bedroom house with securely fenced yard. Only occupied by myself and my friendly, easy-going 10yr old Labradoodle, Reddington. We have plenty of space to play or even just mellow out. I live in a quiet neighborhood with easily walkable streets for even more smells to explore.

“Melissa provided pictures, videos, and summaries of her visit every day. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat, and even though we missed her, we never worried about her. She also offered to take care of plants, sweeping the litter, etc, to make our life easier upon our return. Melissa clearly loves animals and I would highly recommend her.”

Mike was absolutely wonderful. He was prompt, professional, kind and bonded with the kitties. He was very patient with all three of my kitties, from my older one to my very shy one. The photos he sent were great! Living in a rural community makes it difficult to welcome strangers into to your home. Mike's demeanor and presence instills an immediate level of trust and comfort that makes it easy to hand over the keys to my home, allowing me to attend other important matters. I would absolutely recommend him.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pattersonville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 995 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pattersonville. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pattersonville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
