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.
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.
“Eleni helped us out with last minute walks while we were traveling and we couldn't be happier. Tuna and Josie loved her and she was kind and on time and great. Looking forward to having her walk the dogs again in the future!”
About: With over 7 years of experience caring for cats, I’ve developed a sharp eye for detail—I often notice injuries or unusual behavior at first glance. I’ve cared for injured and recovering cats, making sure they receive all their medications on time and in the correct dosage. Cleanliness and routine are important to me, so I always wash food and water bowls thoroughly. I understand feline body language and know how to help cats feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I also love sharing updates, so I regularly send photos and videos to cat parents for peace of mind. I have a very flexible work schedule, so I’m able to stay home whenever cats need me. Their well-being is always a priority. I’ve also installed cameras at home to monitor their eating and litter box habits—making sure they’re eating on time and staying healthy. My routine is built around giving them consistent care, attention, and a stress-free environment. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I always open and close doors carefully to ensure cats stay safely indoors. I closely follow each client’s instructions—checking food, water, and litter box conditions every visit. After all the essentials are done, I make time to play and bond with the cats so they feel happy and loved while you’re away.
“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!”
“Melanie is great! She takes good care of my dog! She is always very punctual and follows all the instructions. My dog was really happy when she took her out! Definitely will choose her again next time!”
About: I've had furbabies all my life and these precious souls mean everything to me. I cant wait to potentially meet and care for your furfamily and drown them in hugs and kisses :) I have a flexible schedule and am home several days a week with backup support for all my other personal commitments in case of time conflict. My home is very pet friendly with a front hard for frequent potty breaks. It includes a safe neighborhood with ponds and squirrels for fun walks as often as your furbaby wishes. I live with a super shy cat (who will barely come out of hiding so your dog will not notice her) and a small bunny who will be in her own room.
About: I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give to my own. I'm an innatly caring person and truly enjoy making animals feel safe, confortable and loved. My goal is to make them happy while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I structure my schedule so I have dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check ins. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels like a natural and rewarding part of my day. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and a calm environment so they feel safe while their owner is away. My cat is very picky and doesn't like sudden changes, so I learn how to observe and identify mood changes and signs of emotional discomfort.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I am a kid. I love dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I have experiences in taking care of dogs of all ages I’m currently working part time so I can time to play with your dog. I am available for boarding daily and sitting most of the time I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog to keep your dog company. Usually I take dogs for walk twice a day in the neighborhood
“It was so nice to have Danielle walk and play with my puppy while I was at work. I was relieved knowing Luna was in good hands. Danielle came at the agreed upon time and took Luna for engaging neighborhood walks.”
“Sydney has walked my dog, Louis, on several occasions. His interaction with Louis is very positive and Louis is excited when Sydney comes. Sydney has always been on time and sends pictures during the walk to let me know that he has Louis. I definitely recommend Sydney!”
About: I’ve been so lucky to have been raised with dogs my whole life, ever since I was young we’ve had two dogs at all times. I love to walk, play and nap with them. Friends, family and family friends have asked me to look after their pets. I love nature and getting to the outdoors and love taking doggy’s with me, and I also love to laze around like a house cat. I love all sorts of animals, dogs, cats, horses, chickens and pigs. I hope to own a farm one day with all sorts of animals running around enjoying their best life. I am currently openly available, I am looking for part-time work, but mostly want to spend time with the pup’s and take them on walks. Animals take care of us if we take care of them. So I love taking my dogs for walks and playing games with them, giving them belly scratches and more. and if they want to snooze I am all good with that too.
“Karlin was very reliable and we felt safe leaving our dog in her care. Would be very happy if she will take care of Hazel again next time we need someone. She was thoughtful and a good communicator too. Thank you again, Karlin!”

Adrienne was absolutely wonderful with our sweet Rocky! He took to her right away, and it was clear from the start that he was comfortable and happy in her care. She was reliable, conscientious, and attentive, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking Adrienne again. Highly recommend!
Anke is the best of the best. We used Rover for the first time to help out our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. One of our dog needs special help as he is diabetic. Anke gave us full confidence and she discovered skin allergies on our other dog which we had missed. She took utmost care of both of them and we felt very relieved and safe. She would stay in touch with us daily and took charge of all our pet's needs. I would highly recommend Anke -- we are super thankful to have found her.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Saratoga.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saratoga. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
