About: I grew up with all different kinds of animals as a child, and I had my own dog, which was a Yorkie. I know how to take care of dogs with disabilities and extreme anxiety as I dealt with that with my own dog. I genuinely love all dogs and I can’t wait to be able to have one of my own but for now dog sitting/dog boarding is just what fits with my life. I recently helped take care of a 6 month old puppy in the city even helping with training. I also took care of my roommates 2 Australian shepherds this summer (1 of them does not do well with other dogs at all) and so I had to be extremely careful when taking them on walks/keeping tight hold on the leash. I work from home every day of the week and I have pretty flexible hours and ample time to take care/walk dogs which is why I can easily make any schedule work. I live right next to a park which I can take the dogs to multiple times per day. I’m also a morning person and love to go for runs and walks before work and if I have a dog staying with me, I would be more than happy to bring them with me.
“Haley has been wonderful with my puppy, Gus! It's such a relief knowing he's in good hands while I'm at work. She's reliable, communicates well, sends updates, and always makes sure he gets plenty of potty time and play. It's clear she genuinely cares about him, and he's extremely comfortable with her. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“My dogs absolutely loved Lauren!! Her communication was exceptional and she was very responsive. This was my first time away from home for consecutive days and I felt really comfortable knowing Lauren was caring for them. I would not hesitate to use her services again and I highly recommend Lauren.”
About: Hey, I'm Brandon. I've got a rescue pit/boxer mix named Chip who pretty much runs my life. Ive owned dogs since 2019, and I am an animal lover at heart. I'm currently apprenticing under a professional dog trainer and volunteering at a local rescue, working toward doing this full time. So your dog isn't just getting walked - they're getting someone who's actively studying canine behavior and knows how to read and handle a dog I'm comfortable with big dogs, nervous dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I'll send you photos and updates so you actually know how it went. Based in Saratoga Springs. Available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I work a flexible schedule with a mix of office days and travel, so I plan my bookings around it and only accept what I know I can fully commit to. Most weekday evenings and weekends are open. I'm also apprenticing with a professional dog trainer and volunteering at a local shelter, so I'm around dogs constantly - your pup won't be an afterthought squeezed into my day. I'll always confirm my availability before booking so there are no surprises. I care for dogs in your home, on your terms. I stick to whatever routine you already have - feeding, walking, potty schedule, house rules - because consistency is what keeps a dog comfortable. I'll follow your instructions exactly on leashes, doors, and anything else, and I'm careful about securing gates and entryways. Because I'm training under a professional dog trainer, I know how to read body language and spot stress or discomfort early, especially with nervous or reactive dogs. You'll get photos and updates every visit so you always know how it went.
“A big thanks to mark for accommodating a request on short notice and caring for our beau while we were gone! Mark was communicative and handled our high energy pup with grace.”
About: I have taken care of special need dogs and elderly dogs. Puppy trained and provided meds and shots. I work from home so they will get many walks or let out as much as needed. I work from home so it’s very easy to provide a lot of attention to each animal. They will be taken care of very well. I will do anything requested. Lots of snuggles and attention. They will be top priority. Can be trusted with medications and special care and attention.
“For a few months, Ella took our golden retriever puppy out 3-4 times a week while my partner and I worked. She was flexible with schedules changes, communicated well, and met all of Hank’s needs. We were very grateful for her!”
“This was our first time hiring a pet sitter at our camp, and Paul made the whole experience easy. He was reliable, sent regular updates, and our mini australian shepherd, Ziggy, clearly felt comfortable with him. We scheduled a meet-and-great in advance of the first visit to give Paul the lowdown on the routine, and he followed through perfectly on the second visit. We will definitely have Paul help us out in in 2026.”
“Net was the best dog sitter during our short vacation from home. She left report cards for our two elderly dogs and sent so many pictures. It's nice to be able to leave and know your kiddos will still be cared for! Can't thank her enough.”
“McKenna was amazing cat sitter. I could tell from the pictures that she managed to get my cat to interact and play with her. She was on time and very communicative which put me at ease. I can’t say enough and will use her again!!”

We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!”

“Caitlynn is the absolute best. I have 3 crazy pitbulls and she handles them beautifully. They are not easy dogs to keep safe, but Caitlynn makes it look effortless. It’s been years since my husband and I have been able to travel, but now that we have Caitlynn in our lives there are many things that we can look forward to knowing we can count on her.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saratoga Springs
I have done extensive training with my trainer with a number of my dogs. The training consists of being consistent in providing clear verbal commands to gain a partnership with our dogs so they understand their place in the relationship and rewarding success. Immediately in speaking to Faith I could tell that she had the same philosophy and skill so she was a perfect match putting me at ease. Both my dogs have been trained and my mix breed can be anxious so calm consistency is key so he can be happy and safe. My Berner is gregarious and clarity is just as important for her. Faith provided great detail in how she was establishing her relationship with my two dogs with her daily feedback and they fell in love with her. Several times a day with three walks a day with two meals and love made for a relaxing time away for us and our dogs. Highly recommend Faith.
I 100 percent recommend Michael G. He is amazing with my pup, he has made my puppy's transition to his new home a success. He is steadfast and reliable. He shows up every day and communication with him is a breeze. He is kind and gentle and my pup looks forward to seeing him every day.
Emma was amazing taking care of our golden retriever, Miles! We booked her for walks and drop ins over a 3 week period. She was so reliable and communicative. Miles had so much fun with her. Emma even found out Miles likes car rides and would bring him on rides around the neighborhood! Would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for someone to help take care of their pet!

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.
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 Springs 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
