About: I grew up with a dog for 18 years, watching him go from playful pup to wise old boy. I've experienced every stage of a dog's life firsthand — young, middle-aged, and senior — so I'm comfortable and caring no matter your dog's age I am able to walk dogs and do drop-in visits. I have a flexible schedule at the moment, so I can adjust to you and your pet's needs! I Since I offer dog walking, most of my care happens out in the neighborhood. I always keep dogs secure on leash, stay attentive, and make sure every walk is safe and enjoyable.
“Yaisa was awesome for walking Toko and Arya when I was away at work during the day! She showed up on time and would take them for a nice long walk through the neighborhood. My pups were surprisingly well behaved with her and I loved all the pictures she would send me! They always looked happier on days after she visited. I will definitely book again when I need someone to check in with them if I'm out on a day trip or any long work weeks.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life until a couple of years ago when my dog, Allee, passed away. I'm not ready to commit to getting another dog yet but I miss the pitter patter of paws so pet sitting is the perfect option for me. I recently retired, so I have lots of time for walks and tummy rubs with your furry friend. I am available for doggie day care Monday through Friday and for overnight boarding weekdays and some weekends. I have a fenced in yard and no pets. With my flexible schedule, your furry friends will get lots of play time, tummy rubs and potty walks (every 3-4 hours).
“We could not have asked for a more perfect caregiver for our Golden Retriever. Not only was Anke always punctual and reliable, but she also went above and beyond to ensure our pup walked well and did some basic training. Our dog absolutely loved his time with Anke. She has our highest recommendation.”
“Kate was awesome with my Golden Retriever and I would definitely hire her again. Reliable, communicative, trustworthy, professional and friendly. My dog was excited to go on walks with her!”
About: Hi! I’m Gemma, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs through Rover, house sitting, and growing up with dogs of my own. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m very active, so whether your dog loves long walks, hikes, playing fetch, or just relaxing with someone nearby, I’m happy to match their energy. I also have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with different routines, so I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s individual needs. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is always for your dog to feel like they’re spending time with a friend rather than just being watched. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! Pet care is something I intentionally schedule my week around. As a college student with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent care and stick closely to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, medications, or overnight stays, I make sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with the utmost respect. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention on walks and around other animals. I always leave your home clean and tidy, provide regular photo updates, and communicate promptly so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, caring hands.
About: I understand how important it is to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of while you are away. I provide peace of mind for you when you are away from them. I provide lots of cuddles, playtime, and continuous communication with picture updates about your babies. I have had so much experience growing up on a vet farm with dogs, cats, chickens, horses and cows. I also have pets of my own who need pet sitting once in a while and have found some of the best pet sitters on Rover. I do require a meet and greet to make sure everyone is a good fit before I accept a booking. I am currently available to pet sit for most weekends. We have a fully fenced in yard with a large grassy area for play. Your dog is invited to feel at home with us depending on your preferences. I live in a great safe neighborhood to provide long walks or playtime at the doggy park nearby. I work from home three days a week and am available to take multiple walks depending on the weather. Weekends are adventure time. We can hike, play fetch or run at the two large local parks. We have a fully fenced yard for all day fun. I take multiple walks to take a break from the computer and welcome walks in our safe neighborhood.
“Did more than what we asked for, and took very good care of our dog, for a very good price. Gave her medicine because she was sick. We found our dog healthy and happy after our 3 days vacation. Thank you Chloe!”
“Scott has been taking our dog on regular walks since October. He is always reliable, easy to communicate with, and sends lots of pics/info from the walks. I recommend him very highly. Look no further!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner since 2008 and have shared my home with two cats for most of that time. We currently have two wonderful, happy and well-loved cats of our own, so I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m calm, caring, attentive and very reliable. I take pride in being on time, following instructions carefully and communicating well. I’ll make sure your cat or small dog gets the care, attention and company they need — and I’m always happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll care for your pets and your home with the same respect and attention I’d want someone to give mine. I have a flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can often be flexible with timing. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your pet in their care. I will always follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’m calm and attentive and will happily send photos and updates after each visit so you know everything is going well.
“My dog adores Willa! She is so great about checking in, following up, sending a picture of my happy pup from his walks. His food and water are always refreshed and refilled. I will continue booking walks with Willa.”
“Jill has been walking my moody dog with major scottitude for months now. She comes everyday, twice a day and my dog loves her--and he really doesn't love people. I was really nervous since he had never had a dog walker before and he really isn't socialized but she has helped out so much! She text me after every walk and I can trust he is in good hands! ”

Morgan was quick to respond to my sitter request. She met my dog at her meet and greet visit before the sit date and her communication is clear and easy. She provided update messages and pics after each sit event. I think that my dog was happy to see her at every visit. I would hope that she is available for the future sitter needs.
Anke has consistently walked Odin twice a week for a year and a half. She is super attentive and always shares feedback both written and verbal about their walks. Our neighbors have commented as well (unsolicited) about what a great job she does with our baby. She’s super attentive and caring and can handle our dog well even though he’s reactive with other big dogs. Anke is a gem!
First time booking with Adrienne. Everything worked out great, she easily accommodated a last minute change to add on another day of walking Pepper. I also had ants appearing in my house near his food the day before the booking but Adrienne took care of this and made sure that the food bowl was always fresh and protected from the ants. She is reliable and easy to communicate with.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Saratoga. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
