“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!”
“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!”
“Jed was an ideal house sitter and dog watcher, and excellent communicator. He set us at ease when he came for the meet and greet, asked great questions about the home and dogs, and set solid expectations, which he ultimately exceeded! He kept us up to date with pics of our dogs, collected our mail, left the house spotless, did some extra cleaning for us, and of course took dogs for walks and spent lots of time with them. Everyone was thrilled, thanks Jed.”
“Kristina won Marty over, who can be a bit shy at first! She kept me up to date with pics and updates a few times a day which helped my anxiety decrease so much I could actually be present at my work thing. This was my first time letting someone I haven’t known for a while before watch him and I would trust her to watch him again.”
“LOVE Stephanie. I think Marley gets depressed for a couple of days after she leaves 😀. She constantly sends updates and photos and is very attentive to our old boy. We feel very comfortable having her with him. Highly recommend Stephanie.”
“Zhi is phenomenal ! She took care of our two dogs for a week at our home. They enjoyed time with her spoiling them with treats and plenty of attention. Our older dog requires a little more care and Zhi did just that. She was so kind and caring to him, he truly loved her attention. Our younger dog has separation anxiety, Zhi was very attentive to him. He loved the walks she took him on. He loved her so much that when she left for a bit his howling made my neighbors worried lol. All in all, Zhi is an exemplar dog sitter. How she cared for our doggies and kept our home clean and tidy was well beyond expectation. Thank you Zhi ! Ollie misses you already.”
“Rachel was wonderful! Super responsible and really put my mind at ease while we were traveling. She kept great communication and sent daily photos and videos, which I really appreciated. She left the place spotless, and I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Niva is truly exceptional — we cannot recommend her enough! She took care of our 2.5-year-old cat for an entire month, and from the very beginning, she was absolutely wonderful. Despite accepting our request on short notice, she showed up with full commitment, not only caring for our cat with incredible attention and love but also looking after our home as if it were her own. Niva is an excellent communicator — proactive, thoughtful, and consistently keeping us updated with daily photos and messages that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she took the time to deeply understand our cat’s personality and needs, asking insightful questions and going above and beyond to ensure comfort and happiness. Our cat adored her instantly, and honestly, we’re convinced Niva is a bit of a cat whisperer! We even learned a lot from her during this experience. When we unexpectedly had to extend our trip by a week, Niva was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She even went out of her way to help us explore backup options, which meant so much to us during a stressful moment. On top of everything, she handled deliveries, collected mail, looked after our plants, and left our home in a pristine condition. Niva was truly a godsend. Both we and our cat absolutely love her, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with her again. We hope to have her back soon!”
“Elizabeth stayed with my Pomeranians for most of November due to work travel and then a personal trip over Thanksgiving. I always hate being away from my pups, but after the first two short stays for my business trips, I felt really good about being far away for 10 days over Thanksgiving, knowing they were in good hands. As always, Elizabeth was communicative, responsive and I could really tell she was getting to know their personalities and quirks. She also sent really fun updates, with a bit of humor and witty writing, but even better, the stories she texted me about were spot on with how they behave as a little pack. In addition, after her stay, I was putting harnesses on them to go on a walk, I noticed that my 9 month old pup Evie, who always ran around crazy when it was walk time and wouldn’t let me put her harness on, was coming up to me to get her harness put on. So, not only did she take good care of them, she somehow got Evie to understand how to put her harness on, and that chase was not part of that process. I’ll be forever grateful for whatever magic she did to get Evie to want to put on her harness! I will absolutely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to stay with your pets while on vacation or business travel.”
“Excellent job taking care of our two dogs. Very attentive communication, followed all instructions carefully, and gave lots of updates. The house was also well taken care of and very clean. Thank you!”
About: Passionate animal lover that is reliable and skilled in providing basic care and keeping pets active and comfortable. Comfortable caring for dogs of various ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am working part-time but as of right now my schedule is flexible. I am usually free most of the day during both the week and weekends. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I can follow feeding schedules, take dogs on walks, provide playtime and companionship, administer basic care, and keep owners updated with photos and messages while they’re away.
“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”
“Annelliese was so great with Baloo. Her communication was great and considering I’m and anxious person, I received messages and updates from Annelliese before I asked for them. My house was left cleaner than when my husband and I left for our vacation. Baloo happy = us happy! So glad we found our person!”
“Anuja was great and handled my pack responsibly and lovingly. I gave a big mastiff that requires a specific feeding regimen and she was great at understanding the requirements. I will absolutely use her again!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our dog! She was great at communicating and felt extremely comfortable with leaving my dog in her hands! I will definitely be asking her to dog sit again!!”
“Grant was great. Not only did he keep Athena fed, walked, and safe, he also worked with her regarding various training issues, like having her wait at the door for permission to go through, barking, etc. She liked him the moment she met him, and he let me know how she was doing.”

About: I have supported my wife in watching animals on Rover but recently took the jump to make my own profile on Rover! I have professionally cared for dogs on Rover since 2017. From pet boarding in our home to house sitting in the homes of others, I have professionally cared for pups of all ages- from puppies to senior dogs. My wife and I have two goldendoodles (8 and 6 years old). Growing up, my family has fostered many dogs and so I have experience with various breeds and pups with special needs. Currently I am taking classes to further my education and work a flexible schedule professionally reffing soccer games which are usually one to two hours in length. I live an active lifestyle but also love to have relaxing days depending on your dog’s needs. I understand how much trust goes into having someone else care for your furbaby let alone opening up your own home. I treat the home I come into with respect and follow any rules and cultural considerations for any homes I enter. I respect rules set by you and my main priority is to keep the dog(s) I am watching on their normal schedule until their humans are back home!

Saratoga pet parents share their Rover experiences
Pierce did a super job with Manny, an 8 year old Minpin “ “rescue”. This four day trip was to be first time I left him with a sitter and I was apprehensive about his level of “separation anxiety”. The minute Pierce sat down for our meet and greet, my apprehension was lifted. Manny jumped into his lap and made himself comfortable. When I returned, Manny was calm and happy. He’d had a weekend of walks, cuddles and was completely calm and relaxed. The apartment was tidy. I would recommend Pierce for his calm manner, attention to the details and giving Manny a stress free experience.
Hannah stayed in my home with our dog, Billi, over the weekend while we were out of town. From our initial meeting, I could tell she was a very diligent caretaker. She asked many great questions and really framed her care around Billi's unique needs. During her stay, she shared regular updates and many pictures. I felt no concerns while she was caring for him and I would be very happy to hire her again!
Annelliese has an exceptional ability to tune in to dogs with difficult personalities and find a way to relate to them and go with the flow or rhythm of that dog’s comfort level. Annelliese was also willing to make suggestions to help our young dog’s 1st time away from us go smoother. She was very flexible with last minute changes to the schedule which I so appreciated. I hope to have her dog sit again soon.
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.
Minette was an amazing sitter. She took great care of my cat Kira, was very respectful of my home, and was super responsive to all of my messages (including proactively sending me pictures of Kira every day). I would highly recommend Minette to others and would absolutely book with her again in the future.
Kayla read all my instructions and was greeted enthusiastically by Ruki (plus she brought treats!) during her stay she communicated frequently with updates and pictures. I was delighted with her attention and care. Thank you Kayla, I hope Ruki gets to hang out with you again.
We hired Laurel to care for our dog and cat while we were out of town and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From our initial meeting, our pets took to her right away which gave us peace of mind. It’s always hard to leave pets behind and find someone to trust but finding Laurel made all the difference. Both pets were happy and well cared for when we returned, and we loved getting photo updates while we were away. Our cat had stopped eating for part of the time but Laurel was creative in finding ways to get our cat to start eating again and take care of him. We would not hesitate to hire Laurel again. Thank you so much!
