“Emily is simply amazing! She is communicative and gives awesome updates. There was no doubt in our mind that our furbabies were being cared for with the utmost care. She went above and beyond our expectations and previous sitters. Highly highly recommend Emily for your pet sitting needs!!”
“Kathy is wonderful! She came to meet Mia prior to her first visit and this made us feel so much better since we’ve never used a service like this before. She communicates great and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Our puppy Mia loves her!”
“Justin came to help us with our dogs for a very last minute request. He was extremely flexible on the schedule, despite us reaching out only a few hours before we needed help. Our dogs (who usually take a long time to warm up to new people) were at ease with him almost instantly. He kept us updated throughout the day on how things were going. We would definitely ask Justin to watch our dogs again when we’re in the area.”
“Michelle is the BEST. I feel so comfortable leaving our Flower in her hands while we’re away. Our dog is very reactive and sometimes difficult to walk… Michelle is like the dog whisperer with her. She’s amazing, I almost don’t want to recommend her because then she’ll be too busy with other customers! 💗”
“First time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier! Kylee took care of ny cat and dog while I was away on vacation with 2 drop-in visits per day. I only booked a couple of weeks in advance, and she came just a few days after I sent the request for a meet and greet. Communication was great, she was very loving with my animals, and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Kylee, for a great first experience with Rover.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats and have been a dog owner since I have been seven years old. I am very good with dogs and an experienced dog walker! I am currently on summer break from college and have no job so I am available whenever you need me! My availability ranges from the morning to the evening every day! I have a nice safe house and a safe yard and currently do not own my past dog. My home is safe for every dog!
“She's been so reliable and punctual and keeps in touch about everything! Even extra photos!! Thrilled with Sabrina! And my dogs are tired out at the end of day thanks to their mid day exercise!”
“I booked Elaina to do a drop In visit for my 10 week old puppy and my 8 month old puppy. She cleaned up the pee on the floor, let out my two older dogs and stayed over a half an hour to get my stubborn 8 months old puppy back in her kennel. I will definitely be booking again, if she is still willing to accept us after today’s events.”
About: I’ve taken care of many types of pets including dogs, cats, rats, lizards, and many others. My main skills that I prioritize include basic dog training. Structured walks available. I’m currently full time (work from home) and can be available on the specified days I have listed on my profile. Open to specific requests if needed!

About: Hi! I'm a dog-loving teacher who has rescued and adopted many dogs in my lifetime. I have a dog at home: Gracie Lou, a 13 year-old pit-mix. I would love to be able to lend a hand to anyone else who knows the trouble of finding someone to watch the fur-kids when they travel. I usually rescue Seniors, so I understand the unique needs they sometimes have. Additionally, I have been involved with pit bull rescue and have a love and appreciation for the bully breeds. I have lived in Saratoga for 9 years and know all of the dog-friendly and accessible places to visit. If my schedule works for you, let me help! During the summer, I am available for walks during the week and on the weekend. When the fall begins, I have limited evening availability and average availability on the weekends. Occasionally, I am able to take in a dog or two for overnight stays, but generally, I will stay overnight at a client’s home. I will make sure that your dogs are loved and cared for.
“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.”
“Liz took care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days. She was a huge help, sending lots of pictures and updates, and made me feel much better about leaving her!”
About: I have had dogs in my home my entire life and have been helping friends and neighbors with dog sitting since I was a kid! I work full time but I work from home two days a week and with enough notice I can have a flexible schedule, as needed. I have a fully fenced in backyard with plenty of room for my dog, and others, to run around in. I have a crate that can be popped up and used as needed.
About: I have experience with kittens, puppies as well as older cats and dogs. I treat each pet as if they are my own. I bring a sense of humor, calming presence and strong work ethic to all of my clients. I am a music teacher who has summers off, so I am available every day. I can be flexible with your plans and scheduling needs. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own that can keep your fur babies company. I am also willing to to crate them if needed or preferred.
About: I have always grown up having dogs and love to be around them! I have experience in dog walking and daily pet care such as feeding, cleaning up messes and taking it outside to the bathroom. I am excited to meet your pup! I am a teacher who will be working short hours over the summer. I am available for weekday walks and weekday check ins for your dog. I plan to make sure that I clean any messes that the dog makes within the clients home and that I leave their house the same if not cleaner then how I found it.
“Ariel was wonderful and went above and beyond to take care of things while I was away! She was my first sitter I’ve ever used through Rover and it was overall a wonderful experience from our meet & greet to getting photos and updates every day while I was away. My kitties definitely enjoyed her company and I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 18 years old. Over the past few years, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pets. I’m now 21 and home for the summer, working full time at the NENY PGA but looking to offer part-time pet care for families in need. I provide a variety of services including daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, light grooming (brushing and bathing), playtime, and administering oral medications. With a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals, I’ll treat your pet like my own, and keep you updated every step of the way! I’m currently working full-time with the NENY PGA during the day, but I’m home for the summer and excited to spend my free time walking and checking in on pups in my community! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and medication administration on weekdays after 4 p.m. and most weekends. While I’m not offering overnight stays at this time, I’m flexible and happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, including caring for my 13 year old Boxer, so I understand the needs of dogs at every stage of life. I’m confident handling and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from tiny seniors to big, energetic pups. I’m comfortable administering medication, following detailed care instructions, and making your pet feel safe and loved. I have a calm demeanor, a fenced yard, and a well-socialized dog to keep your pup company during visits if needed. I’m also happy to adjust to whatever environment makes your pup feel most secure.
“Fiona and Filip were both amazing cat sitters for my two fur babies. They were prompt, responsive and so friendly with my girls. They both made sure to send photos, give updates on the rover card and put my mind at ease knowing my girls were in good hands while I was away on a trip. I will 100% book them again in the future!!”
About: I am a college sophomore on the pre-veterinary track. I have extensive animal experience, including, but not limited to, giving medications to special needs and elderly dogs. I have worked with animals with all different temperaments and am able to work with each one at the level that they are comfortable with. I won't just watch your pup. I will make sure that they are happy and exercised! I will maintain communication and provide regular updates to assure you and your family that your pets are doing great! I'm currently working part-time but will start working full-time at the end of June. I will still have lots of time around my work schedule to make sure that your pet is getting all the love and attention it deserves! When I care for pets in their own home, I keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure. I always: - Follow your instructions carefully (feeding, walks, meds, etc.) - Keep your home tidy and clean up after pets - Provide companionship, cuddles, and playtime - Maintain their usual sleep, potty, and exercise habits - Bring in mail or water plants if needed - Send photos and updates so you know they’re doing great My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away.
