House Sitting in Saratoga

“Anna was a phenomenal sitter and took excellent care of my four senior dogs. She was kind and attentive, sending periodic updates while I was away. I will be using her services again in the future, and I highly recommend her to others for house/dog sitting.”

About: I work at Central Bark Rochester and have hours of volunteering, education, and hard work in canine care and training. My training and learning continues by the day. Im well versed in many different care/training practices and can adjust to each dog's individual needs well. Not only do I value the desires of pet parent's, but the feelings and consent of their furry friends. I work part time and have availability in the mornings, evenings, and weekends! Afternoons vary. I aim for longer sessions to fill the mornings and shorter in the evenings. I am willing to unlock/lock or enter codes to maintain home safety. I am comfortable crating dogs, keeping them seperate from other animals, and working with reactive individuals (see bottom for details). I am also comfortable cleaning up after pets in or outside the house aswell as administering first aid and medications.

About: I've taken care of and owned many types of animals in my life including but not limited to Dogs, Cats, Mini horse, turtles, geckos, bearded dragons, snakes, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, ferrets, birds, and rabbits. I love all animals and nature! I currently am working a full time job 7am-3pm Monday - Fridays and want to see where rover takes me as I enjoy all animals I have 2 dogs one is 14lb and the other 22lbs. They are spoiled and love to play and will keep your pup company. I own 2 crates if needed. My dogs usually have 24/7 access to their food. However if needed during boardings (when I'm offering that service) if feedings are scheduled for a specific time this can be worked with as well.

“Kirsten took great care of our two guinea pigs as well as the outdoor hummingbirds and plants. She is very reliable and detail oriented. We will certainly hire her again.”

I have one large-ish dog at home. I have an unfenced front and back yard with a small field across from my house for dogs to run and play.

My dog does not like a crate, but I cater to dogs that are and are not crate trained

About: Hello! My name is Hiley! I have 6 years of experience taking care of cats. I grew up with many cats in my household and started to help take care of them when i was 13. I have taken care of cats with illness, special needs, and pregnancy. I have taken care of newborn kittens all the way to senior cats. I am very confident and comfortable being around and helping take care of many cats at once. I feel I am very experienced with taking care of cats and can’t wait to help care for yours! I am currently working a part time job from 9am- 4pm, so l'll have plenty of time to help take care of your pets! I am available after 4pm on the weekdays and all day during the weekends. I have a very flexible schedule that also allows me to do overnight stays! I specialize in cat sitting. I will come in and make sure they get their food and water and bathroom breaks. I'll play with them to make sure they're feeling happy and energized. If I stay overnight I’ll check on them many times during the day, feed and play with them. Making sure they’re alright and feel comfortable.

About: Hello! My name is Griffin and I'm 20 years old. I have owned dogs my entire life and I have two living with me along side a cat! I currently work at The Family Fido just outside of Stewartville. During my time there, I have worked with many different breeds and sizes of dogs while supervising group play! Not all of the dogs that stay with us are dog friendly so I have worked with solo dogs too! The Family Fido is a boarding/daycare/rescue facility so as part of my job I take care of feeding and medications. Since I started, we have had 5 litters of puppies that I have helped to raise before they have been adopted out to families. I have learned a lot of training skills and I will be attending dog conferences in the future to build my experience even more! Working at a boarding and rescue facility I work with dogs daily and for hours at a time. I own two dogs as well that I work with around the house daily! I am able to do walks, feeding, bathing, nail trims, play, and continue any training that your dog may currently be working on! I am also open to working with anxious or less confident dogs as well as handling more than one dog at a time!

About: My entire childhood my aunt who lived with us, bred toy poodles. So, caring for puppies to dogs is my specialty. From feeding to walks, snuggles and play, I do it all with love and care. Since having children, we have discussed fostering dogs and we found this would be the best way to love on some dogs and make an income as a stay-at-home mom of two. I am a stay-at-home mom, so we are available mostly all the time other than drop off and Pickup from school, and can move commitments around fairly easily. I have a fenced in yard, and two young children to run around and play with your fur baby, walk with them and help feed them. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of running space along walking paths.

“I cannot imagine a more gracious, kind, compassionate, and animal-smart caregiver for my precious old labradoodle. I feel like the Universe did us a huge favor by connecting us with Ciara! A+, 100%, Fantastic!!”

“We appreciated Kelly house sitting for us when we were on vacation for several days which included two weekends. We came home to happy dogs!”

About: I joined Rover to help feed my love of multiple dogs! Since I travel occasionally, managing one dog full-time is enough for me. However, I grew up with 3 to 4 dogs on average. Choose me and your dog will have all the love and attention! I’m in my 30’s and work from home remotely M-F. I volunteer at multiple rescues, so have recent experience with different dog sizes and breeds. When I was younger, I use to be an AKC Junior Handler in dog shows. My personal dog experience ranges from Papillons, Lab/Golden Retriever mixes, Goldendoodles, and a Doberman. I’ve also owned multiple cats growing up, so are also available for feline drop-ins. I even have experience with tiger cubs! I spend a lot of time with my dog and will give your dog the same attention. I am available for walks, drop ins and overnights. I currently work remotely from home so have a pretty open schedule to come take care of your pup at your home or housesit during the week. I take care of your pets at your home so safety is not an issue. This gives my customers an ease of mind that their animal is in it’s normal environment.

About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life. I currently have 2 beautiful babies that I love very much. I know how to care for all types of dogs, young or old. I work from 6-2:30 everyday so your pet wouldn’t be alone for too long. I am available everyday for as many days as you need. I am very cautious when it comes to watching other people’s dogs in their home. I will treat the dog and the home with much respect and abide by all rules you have.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs since I was 5 years old and have a lifelong love for animals. Over the years I’ve gained experience caring for many different pets, including helping take care of my sister’s three German Shepherds as well as watching friends’ cats and dogs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family and always make their comfort and safety a priority. I run my own business so can make my own schedule to meet with my customers schedules as well. Very flexible on my days and times for stopping by your house. Can let the dogs out inside your fenced in area and sit outside until they come in. Can also do the same if they go on leash or chain around the yard. Will sit outside until it's time to go back in the house.

About: I have taken care of my own dog as well as taken family friends dogs on walks and runs. I am currently training for a half marathon, so if your dogs loves long runs or long walks I would love to help them get outside and exercise. I currently am working part time on top of school. Most days I can take dogs on a walk or run in the morning to later afternoon! I currently live in an apartment where pets are not allowed, so for now I will stick to taking dogs on walks and runs whether that’s around a safe neighborhood or at a park.

“Storm was an absolutely incredible pet sitter! She was very easy to contact and gave lots of updates while I was out of town and my dog loved her. :) He even got a handmade report card at the end of her stay! I had such peace of mind knowing he was in her care.”
