“Adam was available for a last minute booking which was greatly appreciated. He kept my older dog company, giving him breaks in the yard during a rather warm day. We look forward to the next time Adam can take care of Harper! Thanks so much!”
“This was our dog's first overnight stay with Donna, whom our dog adores, and we appreciate her very much, too! Donna has provided much needed help to our family on occasion, and she provided cute photos of our very happy dog. Safety is of primary importance to us all. Thank you, Donna!”
“Michelle is wonderful!!! She took care of both our pups while we were gone on a family vacation. She provided optimal care, snuggling with our babies and sent pics when out on walks!! She helped soothe my anxiety with prompt texts, I would absolutely recommend her again!!”
“Rachel was an amazing sitter! She was attentive, great at communicating and took such good care of our fur baby Charlie! This was our first time having a Rover sitter and we were very skeptical at first, but Rachel made us feel super comfortable and made sure to update us throughout our trip. Our boy Charlie had a blast playing with her. We have already re-booked Rachel for our next upcoming trip! 10/10 service and would 100% recommend!”
“Jed looked after our Golden Retriever, Miles for a few days over Christmas and was absolutely wonderful. He house sat for us while taking care of Miles and also took great care of the house. He walked Miles daily, brushed him, sent lots of pictures, even did some yard work and communication was very good. Thank you Jed! Miles told me he’d like Jed to come take care of him again sometime.”
“This was our first Rover experience and were a bit apprehensive. From the start, Elizabeth was great, stopping by to visit our doggies Eloise and Fluffy and to hear about them. She was meticulous in noting everything about them that could help her provide the most comfortable experience while we were away. During our trip, she kept us informed about the pups. She left the house tidy and clean. What more could we ask for? We wouldn't hesitate to use Elizabeth on a future trip. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
About: * Long walks, happy paws, and loving care. * Where every walk feels like an adventure. * Treating your pets like they’re my own. * Making tails wag and pet parents smile. * Trusted pet care with a lifelong love of animals. After recently retiring, I now have the freedom to spend my time caring for pets. Staying active is important to me, and my daily 4-mile walks make me a great companion for dogs who enjoy exercise, adventure, and lots of attention. I specialize in drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at your home so your pets can stay where they feel most at ease.
About: Hi, I'm Pratik! Animals have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with a german shepherds (Bruce, Throw, and Cash) I learned early on what it takes to care for large, energetic breeds from structured walks and playtime to understanding their body language and unique personalities. In addition to my deep love for dogs, I have plenty of experience caring for cats. Whether they are high energy kittens who want to play or sweet seniors who just need a quiet companion and a gentle scratch behind the ears, I know how to make them feel safe and comfortable. I'm responsible, highly attentive to detail, and dedicated to making sure your furry family members get the same love and care they would receive if you were home. I can't wait to meet your pets! Because I do pet care on a part-time basis, I am able to give your pets my focused, dedicated attention during our time together. My schedule allows me to easily fit in active daily dog walks, drop-in visits, and consistent feeding routines without rush. For Long-Term Services: I am absolutely open to and available for long term bookings and regular schedules! Because long term care requires consistency, I just ask that we chat and discuss the details first to make sure my schedule perfectly aligns with your pet's routine. In Your Home (Drop-ins & Sitting): I treat your home with the utmost respect. I follow your exact instructions for feeding, fresh water, litter box scooping, and exercise, making sure your pet gets quality companionship without the stress of leaving their familiar environment. Mandatory Meet & Greet Policy: Because every pet and household has unique needs, I require an initial in-person meet-and-greet before officially agreeing to any service.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Jaime! She watched our fur baby Loki for a couple of nights and did an amazing job. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Loki absolutely loved her, and it was clear she treated him like one of her own. We’ll definitely be booking with Jaime again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💛”
“Scarlett took such wonderful care of our dog, Snow Cone! She was so kind, flexible to a couple of last minute changes, and took lots of great photos. She communicated really well with us, with very prompt responses, and asked great questions during the meet and greet. We are excited to book her again soon!”
“Anuja was a fantastic caretaker of our pets while we were on vacation. She provided regular updates and responded quickly whenever we had questions. She provided our pets with great care and attention so we always felt relaxed during our time away from them. She is very responsible and adaptable to the needs of our pets. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
About: I've been walking and caring for dogs every chance I've gotten for the past 8 years for neighbors, friends, and family. I have experience with all sorts of personalities, energy levels, and ages. Having a fur baby of my own, I understand how important it is to adapt my care style based on your pets' needs. Excited to get to know you and your furry one! {Hello pet parents! As of now I am looking to fill my afternoon schedule! Most morning/noon availability is unavailable. I appreciate your business and consideration!} I'm currently a nursing student looking to fill my free time with your wonderful pets! I am generally available Tuesdays and Thursdays 10AM - 7PM and Fridays 10AM - 4PM, (please contact me if you’d like to book on a Wednesday, sometimes I am unavailable) Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding my availability, I can make adjustments to accommodate you! I believe in safety foremost, under any and all circumstances. Having your pets' best interest at heart means that while under my care, they are in a safe and trusted environment at all times. Whether I'm pet sitting in your home or walking your pet around the neighborhood, their wellbeing is my priority.
About: You deserve complete peace of mind while away, and it should be a vacation for your pets, too. I work from home, have no pets of my own, and only take one client at a time, so your pet is guaranteed a calm environment and my 100% undivided attention. I am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family because I am highly reliable and observant. Having cared for dogs and cats since middle school, I’m deeply passionate about animal wellness. I excel at reading a pet's body language and noticing the small things, allowing me to quickly adapt to their needs and keep them completely comfortable in my home. Since I work from home, looking after a dog fits right into our day. I have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pup, and I am used to doing morning and evening walks, with fetch breaks throughout the workday. I always stick closely to whatever instructions you leave to make sure your dog stays on their usual routine and feels right at home. I mostly care for pets in our own home, where I have a secure, fenced yard and plenty of space inside for them to relax and get comfortable. Because I work from home, they get constant supervision and plenty of potty breaks. Every pet is different, so I am super flexible and always stick strictly to whatever routine, feeding schedule, or rules you have in place to make sure they feel right at home.
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.
“Joy is a first rate sitter. Punctual on timing, very good communication, and our dogs love her. We were glad to have her with our dogs so that we could relax and have fun at our friend’s birthday party. She sent a few pics and updates to keep us informed about her and the dogs. Highly recommended.”
“I recently rebooked Chloe for taking care of my dog, and once again, I couldn't be happier with the care that she provides. I appreciate her for socializing my dog with her puppy. Chloe is incredibly reliable and attentive. My dog always seems so happy and well-cared-for when I return.”
“Ava was awesome! She took excellent care of my cat and dog for two weeks, and went above and beyond when my dog needed to go to the vet. She had great communication and sent a lot of cute photos. Being so far away on my trip was made easier knowing my pets were ok and enjoying hanging out with her. Highly recommend!”

Grant has watched our pets several times now, and every time has been the same. No worries. Never have to think about it while we are traveling. Grant holds down the fort and we know our pets are in good hands. Would definitely recommend and will continue to book with him.
Kseniia was absolutely amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we met her, we knew our Labrador, Sandy, was going to be in wonderful hands. Kseniia stayed at our home while we were away and took exceptional care of Sandy. She made sure Sandy got lots of walks, plenty of love and attention, and all the care she needed. It was so reassuring to receive updates and photos, and we could tell Sandy was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. When we came home, Sandy was relaxed, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Our house was also spotless and exactly as we left it. It gave us such peace of mind knowing both our home and our beloved dog were being looked after by someone so kind, responsible, and trustworthy. We are incredibly grateful to Kseniia and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and truly outstanding pet sitter. Thank you, Kseniia, for taking such wonderful care of Sandy—we can't wait to have you watch her again!
Pierce was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Eva Jolie, Chloe, and Simba. It was clear from the moment we got home that they were well cared for, comfortable, and happy during their stay. Eva Jolie, Chloe, and Simba all seemed relaxed, content, and received plenty of love and attention. Pierce kept us updated. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We would not hesitate to trust Pierce with our dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable pet caregiver.
Melanie did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, cat, and parakeets when our family went on a trip to Mexico. She sent pics and a recap of activities each day so we could follow along on our pets’ week. Melanie is super responsible and we recommend her for pet and house sitting!
I booked Sekyeong last minute and she was absolutely wonderful! So sweet, flexible, and easy to work with. My pets were well cared for and happy when I got home, and I could tell they were in great hands. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Renin is the best of the best. Our dog Bandit (who has huge separation anxiety) just loves her. Renin kept us up to date with regular photos of Bandit looking as happy and pampered as ever. And she left the house spotless when she left. Could not recommend her more highly.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saratoga
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saratoga on Rover is $97.68 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,038 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saratoga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saratoga walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saratoga maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saratoga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saratoga. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% 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.
