“Lena took very good care of our two cats. She was very thorough and updated us on each of her visits, including pictures. We have a very timid cat and Lena was able to gain his trust in a short amount of time. She is extremely professional and knowledgeable. We look forward to working with her again in the future!”
About: Hi! We’re Rachael (🇺🇸) and Alex (🇬🇧), two animal lovers who will go above and beyond for your pets and treat them as our own while they’re under our care. Expect lots of pics and vids while you’re away. 🥰 We have experience with all sizes of dogs as well as seniors. We’re friendly, responsible, and responsive, and we look forward to meeting, walking, and hosting your pets 🐕🐈 We work part-time from home and have full flexibility in our daily and weekly schedules. With home-stays, we build our days around walks and shorter trips outside. Ultimately, we’ll flex to your pet’s unique needs — if they need lots of love, want some space or alone time, or have a special quirk (faucet drinking, mealtime rituals), we’re on it. We always default to a pet parents’ instructions for their pet and home care, and we read body language carefully 🩵 **Note: We are currently living with family, including a 6-year-old mixed breed dog who is friendly/quite indifferent with other dogs (4th photo on our profile), and a very independent calico cat who spends most of her time outside. We don’t expect they would cause any issues with most other pets.**
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, since I was a baby, they’ve always been part of my family. Over the years, I’ve taken care of two of my own, which gave me firsthand experience with everything from training energetic puppies to supporting older dogs with more gentle needs. Unfortunately, both of my dogs are no longer with me due to a past relationship, but the love and commitment I put into their care remains a huge part of who I am. What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of personal experience and compassion I bring. I understand how important it is to create a safe, loving environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for just like they would at home. I’m attentive to routines, patient with training, and comfortable providing senior care when needed. Every dog I look after gets treated like family, because to me, they truly are. As a full-time teacher during the week, my schedule is structured and organized, which naturally carries over into how I approach pet care. I am very interested in walking dogs from hours 3-7pm on weekdays! While my weekdays are busy with the classroom, my evenings are flexible, and my weekends are completely open to devote my full attention to pets. On weekends, I can fully prioritize walks, playtime, training, and extra cuddles, making sure each pet gets the time, love, and care they deserve. Caring for animals isn’t just something I fit into my schedule, it’s something I look forward to and plan my time around. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my approach is always the same, providing a safe, loving, and structured environment that feels comfortable and familiar to each animal. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding and medication schedules to walks, playtime, and rest. In a client’s home, I make sure their space is respected and that their pet feels secure in their own environment. If a pet is in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly atmosphere with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also focus on communication with pet parents, sending updates and photos so they know their furry family member is happy and cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel loved and every owner feel reassured while they’re away.
“Alli is always so great and helpful with both my girls! My one cat recently was diagnosed with diabetes and she had no problem stepping up being able to administer insulin when I have to run out of town. I can’t express how thankful I am knowing my girls are safe and taken care of!”

My girlfriend has a 130 pound Bernese Mountain Dog which can be a handful. I have learned how to navigate new spaces deescalate situations with him. My strategy is mitigating the possibility for anything to go wrong and being prepared if it does.
About: I understand that the worst part of your day is leaving your dog. Saying goodbye when you go to work or go out of town doesn’t have to be so tough once you get to know me. I absolutely love dog’s and gaurentee that I will provide your pup with whatever he/she needs to be happy and feel at home. If it’s just a walk I still make sure your dog is satisfied and happy anyway that I can. I have tons of experience and love my job. I also enjoy going on hiking adventures so let’s get creative and make a plan that exactly fits your dogs needs! I understand that some dogs require more than others. I can’t wait to meet your dog!

I try to have a good sense of how your pet is feeling throughout the day and do my best to make them happy as can be.
About: I’ve had dogs most of my life—dogs who are small, timid, and nervous as well as big, goofy and playful. We can make sure it’s a good fit with a meet and greet to make sure everyone’s comfortable before moving forward. I work 3 days a week as a nurse and usually know my work schedule a month in advance. I am hoping to do a couple of dog walks, check ins and house sitting days so that you can take a trip, work or be *kid free 🐶* for a night or two. Let me know how I can help! The more I can learn from you about your pets’ likes and dislikes; the better I can provide for you and your pet. I am confident that I can make your pet feel comfortable and right at home.
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 17. I have had lots of experience walking active larger breeds and taking care of puppies, kittens and cats. When I’m not hanging out with animals, I stay active and creative. Over the years I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, full time nanny, swim coach/ instructor and security guard in New York as well as Northern California. I believe that understanding animals vocal and physical actions through sincere intuitive observation, is the most important quality to have when taking care of a pet and their needs. Safety, trust & environment; There are many safe trails throughout the Adirondacks that I’m comfortable walking dogs on and I always bring water to share with a on the go water bowl! When traveling with animals I always put on a gentle playlist I made for my own pets to ensure they don’t get any anxiety from the sounds of being on the road. I have a great amount of experience with bathing/ washing dogs and cats for either sensitive issues or just a routine bath for a muddy pup. I have lots of experience with handling and providing medication to animals, as well as bottle feeding with a gentle approach.
About: I've taken care of neighbors cats and dogs since middle school in my hometown. I've grown up with pets my whole life and greatly understand their needs and the responsibilities associated with pet care. I’m a clear and responsive communicator and will always listen to how you want your pet cared for. I also enjoy going for runs and hikes, so if your dog has a lot of energy, we will get along well! I’m excited to meet your pet(s)! I am able to do overnights with pets and can visit them during mornings, midday, and nights. I can take last minute bookings. I work a flexible schedule during the week. I make sure to assess the comfortability of the animal before settling into the house. I try to keep it a quiet atmosphere until the animal feels comfortable being around me. I make sure that they are my priority and I give them full attention given that they're most likely stressed. I will respect the owners house and belongings.
About: Aside from having a family dog for 15 years, I have house/pet-sitting experience working for family members and close friends since 2007. I have never met a pet I didn’t adore. I’m self-employed, which means very flexible hours. Weekends are not out of the question with notice. I always try to find ways to make scheduling work. I will make sure that your loving companions are safe, fed, walked (if applicable), loved and attended to for the entire duration of my visit.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saranac Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
