“Anahita took excellent care of our cat, while we were away. She was punctual, professional, and very responsive, and her kindness toward our cat gave me complete peace of mind. Seeing photos of Ms. Moushi happily lounging and cuddling with her was so reassuring. We’ll absolutely be using her help again.”
“Kate took care of my two cats while I was away for a few days, and I’ve never felt so at ease leaving them in someone else’s hands. It was clear from the first visit my cats fell in love with her (even my shy boy!!) and I was just excited to see how sweet they were being each visit. My cats were happy to see me when I got home, but I could tell they had plenty of love and attention while I was gone. Can’t recommend Kate enough, especially if you’re not only looking for someone to care for your pets but to become their best friend as well!”
About: I’ve been working with animals for several years through fostering and volunteering with rescue organizations. I’ve fostered two small-breed dogs, helping them adjust to new environments and preparing them for their forever homes. In addition, I’ve volunteered at an animal shelter where I cared for both cats and medium- to large-sized dogs, so I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’m currently a university student on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days of the week. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to work around their routine and make sure they get the attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I’m very detail-oriented and pay close attention to my surroundings to make sure pets aren’t put into situations that could be unsafe. I enjoy playing with animals, but I’m never rough and always adjust to each pet’s personality and energy level. If your dog loves to run and play, I’m happy to keep up with them, while still making sure they stay safe. I also believe that many accidents can be prevented with careful supervision, so I make it a priority to stay attentive and never let negligence become a source of harm. I’ll treat your pet with the same level of care and caution that I would my own.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog for 6 years, and during that time have also been a private house and dog sitter. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages and connect very well with all animals. I am calm, grounded, and dogs love me’ I work a part time day job that is very flexible. I am able to do morning-mid morning walks, evening walks, and house care consistently throughout the day. I am able to check on animals as often as every 3 hours. I am able to adapt to any environment and always prioritize keeping the pet as comfortable in their own space as possible. I am able to work with all home types, and with whatever my clients are comfortable with!
“Ching-Chi did a wonderful job caring for our older cat! She came every day on time, spent time with our cat, and sent lots of great photos to document her visits.”
“Elise has been an absolute star ⭐️ looking after our kittens 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛. This was our first time leaving our kittens for 6 days so we were so happy to find Elise! Before our trip, Elise visited our house to meet the kittens and to find out about their schedule…I have one Kitty which is more shy and Elise was wonderful with him, respecting his timidity and allowing him time to warm up to a new person. Within a couple of days he was very comfortable with Elise being in the house that he even let her pet him. My other kitty was very happy to play with Elise. Thank you Elise for caring for our kittens so well. Will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals and have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I'm comfortable giving medications and following any specific care routines your pet requires. I know every animal is different, so I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether we're going for walks, playing, or just keeping each other company, I'll care for your pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits, and I'm happy to work with your pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Whether it's daily walks or drop in visits, I'm committed to being reliable and responsive. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my own home, I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog, and I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free of potential hazards. I closely supervise pets, follow any instructions you provide, and stick to their normal routine as much as possible. I'm also happy to crate pets if requested, administer medications, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. There's always been a cat curled up somewhere or a dog waiting by the door, and taking care of them has never felt like a chore to me. It's just what I do. I work from home, so I'm around a lot during the day and can usually work around your schedule, even for midday visits or last-minute plans. If I'm looking after your pet, you'll hear from me. I like sending updates and photos so you actually get to see how your dog or cat is doing, not just a generic "all good" message. I'm new to Rover, but pets have never been new to me. I'll take care of yours the way I'd want someone to take care of my own. I work remotely, which means I'm home most days and have some flexibility built into my schedule. I can usually fit in midday drop-ins, walks between meetings, or last-minute visits that a lot of sitters with traditional 9-to-5 jobs can't accommodate. Afternoons and evenings tend to be my most open windows, but I'm generally easy to reach and can adjust as needed. I treat your space and your pet's routine with respect. I follow the feeding, medication, and care instructions you provide exactly as given, and I keep your home secure the whole time I'm there. I pay close attention to your pet's body language and comfort level, especially with cats or nervous dogs who need a little more patience before they warm up to someone new. If anything seems off with your pet or your home while I'm there, I'll let you know right away.
“Linda has been great with Waffles. She is reliable, always responds quickly to messages, and has helped me out on short notice when my plans changed suddenly. Waffles clearly has a great time from the cute pics Linda always shares. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone!”
About: I grew up with cats which was an awesome part of my childhood. More recently I've had the pleasure of having labradors. I recently lost my senior labrador of 13 years 8 months. I've also cared for friends and family cats and dogs of all varieties. I enjoy getting to know the pets personality, quirks and preferences. I enjoy meeting them all, young and old, spry and calm, toy chaser or mellow chewer. I worked as a Vet Tech trainee for 18 months while enrolled in Vet Tech classes at Foothill College. I work from home or anywhere with WiFi access. My work is flexible as far as schedule so I can work with the dogs schedule. I have a yard which has chicken netting to prevent the dog going down into the creek. But I supervise dogs closely when they are outside.
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.
“Donna was a blessing to our dog and our family. She is an excellent communicator and took wonderful care of our dog for one day. We had peace of mind knowing our prescious dog was in such caring hands while we were away.”
“Madison was great as always watching our cat this week. We’ve booked her multiple times now and have been noting but happy with her pet sitting and communication every time. She will continue to be our go to when we need to hire someone to watch our animals.”
“Thank you so much Chloe for taking such good care of the kitties! I loved getting your photos while away - seeing the kitties having a great time with you really eased any concerns I had about being away”
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Saratoga is $29
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saratoga
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 recently had Victoria sit for our senior dog. She provided first class attention and love for our dog. She followed our instructions and we didn’t need to worry about leaving our pet. We would have Victoria come again whenever we needed a pet sitter. Thank you, Victoria!
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.
Pam was awesome! She clearly loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about their needs and behaviors. My dog loves people but lacks confidence when it comes to other dogs. She offered some tips and worked with my girl to build her confidence during their walks. Pam took great care of my pup and we’ll definitely be working with her again!
Itzel did a wonderful job taking care of Laddoo while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly put in effort to make him comfortable. Laddoo can be shy with new people, but Itzel was patient and consistent with playtime and treats, which really helped him warm up to her. She followed his care routine carefully and sent helpful updates after each visit. There was one evening when she had car trouble and arrived late, but she communicated proactively and made sure Laddoo was taken care of. She was also very receptive to feedback about safety concerns with the windows. We appreciated her genuine care and attention to detail. Would definitely book with Itzel again!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,315 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Saratoga. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saratoga stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saratoga. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
