About: I have raised 3 kids, and have had dogs, kittens, bunnies, turtles, horses, goats, birds, (and more!) my entire life. And I love them all! I currently have plenty of time, I am available last minute and am willing to do most anything. I am a night owl so late hours are fine with me! I live in a very pet-friendly neighborhood, there are several parks nearby and very low traffic streets all around. I also have a fenced backyard.
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.
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.
“Linda took our pup on daily walks for two weeks while we were away. She responded quickly to communications, was always on time, and gave us detailed updates every day. Highly recommend!”
“Scott is awesome! We are so thankful to have found him! Our dog recently was put on new medication and needs potty breaks more frequently, he's also older so he's either highly energetic or a bit slow. Scott is very attentive and patient with him and always communicates to us his demeanor and temperament on the walk. He really cares about our dog and is an immense pleasure to have as our dog walker!”
About: Bringing 3 years of 5-star pet care experience (on Wag!), I am comfortable with any size, age, breed, and temperament. I am a pet parent myself (the golden in my profile pic), volunteered with dogs/cats in college, and worked at an emergency vet clinic. I can do additional tasks such as post-op care, feeding and administering medication. I genuinely love animals so I enjoy every visit:) Taking care of pets is my full time job so It is built into my daily routine! I am available early mornings and late nights, whatever fits your pet's needs. I care for my pets by creating a safe and healthy environment. I keep my dogs leashed, provide ample food/water/toys, and never overlook a potential health concern. I will always double check information if I am confused and put the health and safety of the pet first.
About: I have always loved dogs, big and small! I am mama to 2 schnauzers, Hula and Sadie. Currently available full time for your pet. I have a fenced patio where we hang out in the sun. We also go on walks, car rides and the dog park (Campbell/Los Gatos). I will care for your pup as if they were my own. Come join our “pack”. I’m currently working from home and have plenty of time for play time and walks. I’m available for daycare, walks and boarding. Also snuggle time! I have a fenced patio and two pups to keep your dog company. I can crate your pup or lounge in dog beds. My girls are never far from me, as your precious one will be, as well.
About: I had a Maltese when I was in college. My family and I love dogs a lot. I am here to take care you lovely pets, from walks to feeding, sitting. I am a housewife. I pay attention to your schedule and habits for dogs and cats. If I do house sitting in your house, I will keep everything neat and clean. I can take on dogs and cats. I would like to know about their feeding schedule and food preferences. Also want to know how long they typically want to go out after eating and how many times a day. Are they crated at night. Is there a need for a muzzle. Are they children friendly, cat crazy. What makes them sad, what amps them up.
About: I used to volunteer at the San Jose Animal Center and the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley I worked at an animal hospital for a year as a veterinary assistant I trained my one-year-old kitten to wait, sit, shake, turn around, and high-five, as well as my friend's puppy. I just graduated from college and moved back home during my gap year before I start veterinary school. I have time every day to pet sit. I have a large backyard that dogs can play in and an area for a crate if needed. I will make sure that your pet feels safe and loved at either my house or yours. I will follow the instructions left for me very carefully. Your pet will get lots of snuggles and playtime. I plan to give them the best care possible while respecting their boundaries.
“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.”
About: I have hands-on experience raising and caring for small and medium-sized rescue dogs, including walks, house sitting, and daycare. I adapt to each dog’s temperament, respect their routines, and offer patience when they’re feeling anxious—plus find just the right spot for ear scratches. I’m currently job searching full time so I have flexibility to care for your dog(s) on very short notice. I split time between Mountain View and West San Jose. I have a fenced yard. I can care for your dog at your place as well if needed. I can adapt to extreme separation anxiety and make a commitment to never leaving your dog alone for even a second. Whatever you and your dog(s) largest concerns or smallest needs are—I am here to provide the utmost attention and care.
About: I have two small dogs (maltipoo’s) of my own and have cared for my relatives/family friends furbabies often. I’m most experienced with smaller dogs however I’m willing to learn to care for any type of pet/species. I’m currently home full time and so my schedule is very flexible at the moment! I understand everyone has different concerns so I’m more than happy to accommodate as best I can. I live in a townhome so there’s a small backyard area. The area is safe with lots of families and dog owners in the neighborhood. I’m open to long walks, short walks, sniffari’s, drop ins, etc. Inside of my home, the garbage is enclosed within a pull out trash bin so dogs aren’t likely to get through. Cleaning and vacuuming happens regularly so there are minimal hairballs or choking hazards. The doggie gate is located along the stairs in case we need to keep them in a dedicated area but usually it’s left open for the doggies to roam free (as they are potty trained). Feeding is done in different areas so no resource guarding takes place. We have a large crate that the dogs treat at their personal home, they go in and out as they please. I like to keep their potty breaks on a schedule as well as feeding time and the air purifier runs constant.
About: I've had three dogs in my life. I have some training experience with them and have cared for many of my friends' and acquaintances' pets. Looking forward to supporting wherever I can I have pretty open availability right now. Though I do have a daughter in high school, who needs me for drop off and pick ups. It should not be a hindrance b I keep my cats indoors. And my dogs as well. They are crate trained so I can crate your pet as well and am familiar with the process of crate training.
About: Dogs and cats have been a part of my family my entire life, so I know exactly how important they are in any home. I've grown up with kittens and puppies all the way up until they were seniors, and have firsthand experience with adjusting care to meet their changing needs. Professionally, I have worked in a kenneling facility and a grooming salon. I started out in kenneling as a daycamp supervisor which was about as hands-on as you can get. Playing with the dogs, giving them lots of love, and guiding them through enrichment activities while also monitoring their health symptoms and behaviors were all a part of a regular day. I also gave cats one-on-one TLC, which could include cuddles and pets or playtime depending on their energy level and demeanor, whichever was right for them. Fixing up meals and cleaning out kennels for both dogs and cats were also a part of my responsibilities. As I moved up, I was trained on administering medications to both dogs and cats, including ointment application and oral administration of both pills and liquid medicines. During my time in the grooming salon, I worked my way up from a bather to a professional stylist. Before becoming a stylist I took a training course that even furthered my knowledge of safe dog handling practices and what behavior and health signs to monitor for a safe and smooth experience for both the dogs and myself. I found immense satisfaction in both of these rolls as animals are my biggest passion, and I am confident that they gave me the training and knowledge to be able to care for dogs and cats of any size or age. As of now my schedule is essentially open! I don't currently have any other time-heavy obligations so I will be building my schedule around pet parent needs. Your pet will be receiving my undivided attention while I am with them. I will adhere to any routines or directions you have for their care, and I am big on cuddles and playtime. Whatever it seems like they're in the mood for, whether they need to be tired out with some running around and tug-of-war or if they prefer a cozy spot to lay and be pet, I would be happy to oblige.
About: I have been training and caring for dogs for years. No bad dogs just bad owners. Don't over complicate training. Just teach them how to be successful in fitting in to your life and environment. Three is the magic number. Three walks, 3 minuet training sessions and groom every third week. I do nails and trimmings. Save you time and money. We walk 3 times a day and we go to a fenced in dog park. I keep dogs tired so they can relax more often.
About: I have a maltese that I brought home since he was 2 months old. He is now 12 years old, but he's currently back home with my brother in SF. I have a lot of love for dogs and am good with walking them, making sure they eat, and entertaining them. I miss my dog a lot and haven't been able to see him much, so the way I treat your dog will be nothing but love, care, and patience. I'm someone who follows instructions and rules well so if there's anything specific that I need to keep in mind about, you do not have to worry. I go on walks every day for 20-30 mins so would be more than happy to have your dog join me in exploring the neighborhood! :) I will be sending you updates via text (with pictures and videos) or you can let me know any other ways that can make you feel comfortable/updated with your dog! PS: I don't allow dogs to be on furnitures or in bedrooms. They will sleep in the living room for overnight stays.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saratoga
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.

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 Saratoga. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Saratoga after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
