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: I’m always helping others take care of their dogs; watching, feeding & playing with them. Even trained my own pups! My husband Adam helps me out quite often too, he has grown up with dogs all his life! We are both working from home and have a very flexible schedule! My husband is also here to help most days. With doggy daycare and boarding my schedule is flexible to fit anyones needs! Plenty of room and time to play! I have a good sized fenced in yard with two friendly young pups, who will keep your dog company! They love meeting new friends! We have multiple sections in the house to separate dogs if ever needed. Crating your dog is always an option as well! We just fully renovated our detached garage that is next to our house. We made a brand new 400 square-foot indoor play space for the dogs to enjoy! This has a brand new heating and cooling system, electric upgrade, rubber flooring, and a new gated section outdoors. For dogs who just like to hang out, we have a couch that the dogs can lay on too. Our schedule is flexible to fit your needs with drop off and pickup times. During the day, the dogs hang out and play. For dogs who don’t like to play much, and just want to relax, we have a couch or a separate area for them to be in. Throughout the day we take the dogs out about every hour to go to the bathroom because we keep them hydrated due to their high activity. SAFETY is our priority!!! What makes us different than other Rovers sitters is that we make sure each dog has their own individual food/water bowl so they are NOT sharing. We also vacuum and sanitize our floors with pet safe disinfectant everyday to be sure that we are keeping the area clean and safe! If your dog is crated then we sanitize the crate after every use as well! We have a 6 foot tall fence to prevent any dogs from escaping the yard. We also require all dogs to show PROOF of being up to date on vaccinations!

About: 20 plus years experienced caretaker. I've rescued, fostered and adopted senior pets, pregnant mamas, puppies and the like. I have experience with walks, overnights, administering meds, wound care and of course snuggles. I work a pretty flexible part time schedule of afternoon and early evening hours a few days a week that allows me to schedule visits as needed to accommodate your pets schedule. However I am instructed to do so by the owner. In my home, I have a fenced in yard, there is also a dog park in the community. I have animal crates if needed. Large and small depending upon what is needed. I also have a silly dog of my own at home as a companion.

About: Life-long dog and cat owner who makes sure your best friend gets what they need while you're away. In addition to my own dogs and cats, I've cared for many pets in the community while mom and/or dad are on the road. Available almost every day for dog walks and drop-ins. I set my own schedule so your pet always gets the care, when and where, we decide. Currently not offering pet-sitting in my home except by prior approval. Please inquire so we can review and provide rates and get more info . If sitting in your home, I will leave it as I found it or better, and always secure.

About: I’ve been a dog sitter and dog walker since I was 10 years old, taking care of some of my neighbors’ dogs. My love of dogs and experience has only grown throughout my life. I have 2 dogs of my own, and have babysat and walked countless dogs since for family & friends. I work remote so I have a very flexible schedule. I already use my free time to give my own dogs a great life and I’d love to do the same for people without as much free time as I. For drop in visits I can let them outside (permitted you have a fenced in yard). We can play a little indoors and outdoors. I can crate them when I go, if this is something you do. If you already have food somewhere prepared, whether fresh or kibble, I can even feed them so you don’t stress about them missing a meal. They’ll get plenty of pets and love.

About: Hi! My name is Mandy! I am currently raising a 10 month old lab puppy, and a 9 month old cat, so I would love to and can keep up with the go go go of your pups. I raise my 6 month old lab and he goes outside for a walk or bathroom break every few hours. I also do school from home, so he also gets plenty of play time with his toys and such. I look forward to spending more time with other dogs as well. I live in an apartment, so unfortunately, I can’t board any dogs at the moment, but I would love to take care of your sweet pups in their homes. I have taken care of my neighbors dogs many times since I was younger, and just love to spend time with them. Your animals will be let out every 4 hours with 2-3 walks a day and will be loved as much as possible.

Thank you for going the extra step and picking up the mess he made when he got into my basket that had snacks in it. I really appreciated that.

About: I love animals and have been caring for pets for over 10 years! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, puppies, cats, and very young kittens. I have worked with many breeds, ages, and personalities. I have also worked with different feeding and walking routines, given medications, and even changed dog diapers. I can easily adapt to any pets needs! I just graduated college and have a largely open schedule at the moment. I can pop in almost any time of day and am usually open to last minute visits if they fit into my schedule! I prefer week day visits but can make weekends work too if necessary. In your home I can adhere to any safety protocols you give me and take pet safety very seriously. I have a small dog at home who I keep from getting outside on her own every day, and will treat your pet with that same level of attention and care.

I cannot say enough about how great Sam was with our fur-babies. She really took the time with them and made our going away super stress free for us and them. We don’t go away often but will definitely look to use Sam again and will recommend and sing her praises to whoever will listen. Thank you so much Sam!!!

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was born. I grew up walking, feeding, bathing, and loving my first two dogs—a Chocolate Lab and a giant Weimaraner. Since those two, my pet family expanded to a Yellow Lab, a rescue mutt (Australian Kelpie), a Hound mix, an Australian Shepherd-Pitbull mix, a Great Dane, a Pomeranian, a three-legged rescue dog, three horses, five goats, two pigs, three mini horses, and a cat. Throughout my life, I’ve helped to take care of each and every pet that we’ve had. While it’s not always easy, I love every second of it. I am home from college for the summer (May-August), so I will be very flexible and available to help out you and your pets :) I will always make sure your fur baby is happy, healthy, and comfortable. In my care, your pet will always be my top priority. I will never take any job that I cannot 100% commit to.

After a meet and greet last week, Morgan dropped in this weekend to see Luna, our 8 yr old Lab. She arrived right on time, fed her, and took her outside. Morgan texted when she got there, when she left and also to tell us how Luna did - along with a picture. When we got home Luna was very happy. Luna is blind and Morgan did great with her. I’m looking forward to having Morgan back again.

First time having Faith watch my two dogs and she did a great job! She was very attentive and good with my older dog who needs potty pads out. Faith was very reliable and seemed to really enjoy spending time with my pups! As extra bonus, Faith also helped put my garbage out for pick up.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Saratoga Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Saratoga Springs on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 1,078 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Saratoga Springs. 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 Springs 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.

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. 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.

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.

To find sitters in Saratoga Springs with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saratoga Springs. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

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.
