About: Animals have always been my best friend. My entire life I’ve been surrounded by animals, having 2-3 dogs & a cat at all times. I’ve been through the month old puppy stages & the rough old times. Dealt with tantrums and accidents, and loved them still all through it. I have been dog-sitting since I was 16 and still do to this day! Sleeping with them so they don’t get too lonely at night, checking in multiple times daily to feed, give water, play, cuddle, and take on walks. Currently, and for the past year, I walk 2 dogs together, every morning. There’s no job too big for me! I am very flexible and available during the days, week and weekends. I currently walk dogs from 10-11:30am, and the rest of the day and night I am free for however many check ins your doggo needs and for sleepovers! I have been housesitting with and without dogs for many years, so I am well prepared and comfortable with new environments and how to accommodate your household to your liking! I’m used to notes & or instructions on exactly how you wish for my stay to go, no needs are too big or small! I stick to common areas and outside, wherever your canine loves to roam.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs & cats, as well as my friends’ for the last 15 years. I have experience with big ones, small ones, feisty, friendly… they all deserve all the love. I’m currently working part-time, mostly off my phone, so I will have plenty of time to have quality time with your pet(s)! I’ve had animals with a more regimented schedule & others that are low maintenance- happy to accommodate both. I have a fenced yard & a small senior Shih Tzu to keep your animal company! There’s also lots of parks in the area- both with other dogs, or more private.
About: Having raised and trained a puppy from scratch and cared for family dogs into their golden years, I know how to match your dog’s specific pace. I focus on positive reinforcement, enriching sniff breaks, and engaging playtime. Whether your dog needs an energetic adventure, puppy-level patience, or a gentle neighborhood stroll, they get attentive, reliable care. With a completely open and flexible schedule right now, pet care is my primary daily focus rather than something squeezed around an office job. I’m available throughout the day for morning outings, peak midday potty breaks, and evening walks. Having full flexibility allows me to give your dog calm, unhurried attention and accommodate changing schedules easily. Having raised a rescue dog who was initially prone to door-dashing, situational awareness is second nature to me. Whether securing entryways or keeping a watchful eye on neighborhood walks, I’m very comfortable navigating more sensitive or challenging behaviors with calm, steady patience. Alongside safety, I believe genuine play is essential - I always make time for fun games, positive energy, and active engagement. Most of all, I treat your home with complete respect and follow your established routines, knowing firsthand how essential consistency is for a dog’s confidence and comfort.
“Katy is awesome! We needed a last minute drop-in sitter over the holidays and she was quick to respond. She was on time for our first meeting and did a great job at ignoring our anxious dogs until they became used to her. She also came for a second meeting just to walk the dogs and go over last minute instructions. This was our first time using rover and a dog-sitter we did not know. Katy is confident, compassionate, and hard working and we will definitely be using her to care for our sweet neurotic dogs again. They love her and we appreciate knowing they are in good hands.”
“I don't even know where to begin. Yun is such a blessing! She is so attentive, friendly and my pup Millie just LOVES her. Don't hesitate booking Yun in any capacity. She is the best. Thanks again, Yun!”
“Jeanne was on time the two mornings to feed our feral cats which are three to four of them, though these cats she will not see since they hide until she leaves our front yard. Yet, we invited her into our front room when she came to our front door and Jeanne has a wonderful spirit who can talk about just about anything plus no shyness is there about her. Jeanne smiles, laughs and keeps eye contact while we all talked also. Lovely personality she has... I'm glad she lives close by us too. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bonnie Kellerby”
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.
“They took good care of our cats, who seemed to like them (which is saying a lot for cats). They took time to play with and groom the cats after they ate. We would hire them again.”
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.
“Adelaide really helped us out in a pinch when we needed a last minute cat sitter before going out of town. She was always quick to respond to any communications, and our pretty shy cat seemed to warm up to her quickly.”

About: I love all animals and love to interact and care for them. Animals are part of our family and needed to be treated as such. I am currently a stay-at-home homeschooling mom so I could spend almost every minute with your fur baby to make sure they are having a wonderful time. I have a dog as well so your fur baby will have some company. Also my daughter just loves dogs as well and your fur baby will be extra loved.
About: I have raised my dog since he was a puppy and it was definitely a challenging and rewarding experience. I recently moved out of my family home where my dog lives with my parents. I miss having a furry companion to hang out with! I am typically free early mornings and evenings after work. I go on walks every day and thought it would be fun to have a furry friend by my side and to also help out those who need pet care. I am detail oriented, organized, punctual and patient. I am very familiar with the neighborhood. I am an active person and will do my best to keep up with your pet.
“We love Willa:) I booked two drop in visits for my cat. Willa is very responsive and always right on time. She took care of my cat carefully and thoroughly during the 30min drop in visits, took a bunch of detailed pictures and let me know timely if any potential problem with my cat that I was not aware of. We really appreciate for Willa’s help!”
About: A lifelong love for animals has lead me to professionally working in Veterinary medical centers and Shelters. I am an Adoptions Counselor for the San Diego Humane Society. I am Fear Free Certified, trained in proper husbandry and handling for a range of species, and educate new owners on such. I am available all day Mondays and Tuesdays, Thursday through Sunday mornings and evenings for drops ins and walks. With overnights I am flexible as long as communication and time permit. I adore taking pets on walks or out to play! I am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I prefer to pet sit in an animal’s own environment for their same. It is already stressful to be away from their family and staying in their homes is helpful.
“Connor is exceptional -helping to walk my disabled pittie that is recovering from spinal surgery. Conner is punctual, communicative and very good at understanding dog personalities. Our dog Rio loves and trusts Connor. Thanks Connor!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saratoga
Elizabeth did a wonderful job of taking care of our kitty while we were away! We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos of him during drop-ins. We knew he was in great hands with Elizabeth who was always very responsive, attentive, and kind. We will absolutely rebook with her if we need a pet sitter again! Thank you for taking such good care of our kitty!
Olivia was wonderful! My cats liked her immediately and she was very sweet with them. I appreciated the photos and videos of playtime while I was gone and the updates that they had taken their medication with no problem. She was very prompt with every time frame she gave me. Would definitely book again!
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!
We are so fortunate to have found Katherine on Rover to take care of our dogs. She is a very caring and detail-oriented person. She bonded with our dogs quickly and provided them with the care we had hoped for. Her daily communication on the status of our dogs was fantastic. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and detail oriented pet sitter. We hope to work with her again.
Chendi did an amazing job taking care of Shadow while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about Shadow as if he were her own. Communication was great the entire time, and we had complete peace of mind knowing Shadow was in such good hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I would absolutely book Chendi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Saratoga is $31 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $45 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,273 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saratoga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
