“We had a great experience with John. Not only was he able to help us out in a pinch, (just before a holiday weekend with meet and greet promptly scheduled) our dog loved him and he executed care instructions as planned. He exceeded our expectations of a drop-in sitter. John was a great communicator, giving us daily updates about our dog, sending pictures, and reaching out with major things of notice (nothing bad, but our cat was up to no good). We plan to book John again the next time we need some help with our dog!”
About: I’m a full-time work-from-home professional who loves dogs and provides dependable, attentive care you can trust. As a responsible adult with a flexible schedule, I’m available to help whenever your furry friend needs a walk, a visit, or loving care whether it’s part of your routine or a last-minute request. I can care for pets throughout the day and week depending on needs. I have intermittent travel and work depending on the time of year. Whether I’m caring for your dog in your home or mine, I treat them like family. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. From feeding and walks to playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention, I provide personalized care tailored to your dog’s unique needs while treating your home with the utmost respect.
“Carolyn was very professional, trustworthy, and caring doing drop ins with my cat, Marvin. During the meet and greet she proactively asked about so many things I hadn’t even thought of to make sure Marvin was well taken care of. She loved on him and made me feel at ease while away! I definitely recommend Carolyn and will be happy to have her watch Marvin again in the future!”
“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’ve had animals since I was a young girl. As a child we had cats. As a young adult I worked for a grooming, daycare, and boarding facility for 16 years. The only reason I stopped working was because of the birth of might twins.I also volunteered for a pet rescue, a pet shelter, and of course owned my own dogs, cats, and hamster. I’m a mom of 7! Some grown , some in college, and my youngest 2 are 9 year old twins. I have plenty of time during the days to walk, spend time, cuddle, and love on your furry family members. My specialty is mid day breaks/walks or check ins while you’re away or have a long day at work. I am aware of the tremendous responsibility it is caring for your pet. I have my own pups and kitties and will give the same love, care, and respect my babies receive.
“Thank you for taking my Derby last minute. You were professional with my expectations, The times we talked about, Great communication if something came up. 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. The pictures you took of him while taking him out, was super sweet. He’s such a good boy. Recommend you anytime.”
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood pets whether it’s dropping in for a quick potty and play break, long walks or trips to the park! I’ve also owned two dogs from puppy stage to adulthood! I treat all pets like they are my own child! I am an elementary special education teacher who will soon be on summer break! My hours will become way more flexible after Friday June 27 (last day of school)! I will treat your pets like my own and follow any instructions you may leave for me! I am comfortable with walking your pet, playing, or letting them out for a potty break! I also am comfortable with feeding and administering medication if needed!
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!
“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!!! I cannot say enough how much we appreciate you!!!”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and just moved to Saratoga Springs from Miami Beach. While in Miami, I volunteered at the Humane Society and fostered dogs. Prior to moving to Miami, I owned my own dog walking business for 3 years in my hometown of Annapolis. If you’re looking for someone to tire your pup out with a nice long walk or a game or two of fetch, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I am restarting my dog walking business in Saratoga Springs and am looking for new clients. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate you and yours pets needs. From regular weekly walks, to drop in visits, or overnight boarding, I would be happy to help. I have a sweet senior American Bulldog, Ares, who is a foster fail. After getting settled in, I will be opening up my schedule to dog boarding in my home pending your pup gets along with Ares.
About: I truly love being around furry friends! I grew up with both a dog and a cat, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Now, I have a 2.5 year old Labradoodle of my own, so I understand firsthand the energy, excitement, and occasional chaos that can come with younger dogs. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to older companions, and I’m happy to help with everything from basic training to administering medication when needed. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll treat your furry friend like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of care, attention, and affection! I currently work full-time during the week, so my availability is mainly on weekends. That said, I’m very flexible with timing and happy to work around your schedule as best I can! I always try to stick as closely as possible to their normal routine that way they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, along with feeding, walks, and any other care instructions you provide.
“Melissa is the sweetest! She made Lily (my pup) feel so comfortable and did a great job walking her and following all of her care steps. I would 10/10 recommend!!!!”
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.
About: I have been taking care of my personal pets and assisting family with theirs since I was about 12. I have experience mostly with cats and dogs(everything from feeding and bathing to grooming and administering medication, I don’t do nails though), but I can also take care of basic needs for birds such as feeding/water and cleaning cages. I currently do gig work so I have as much time as I need or you want to take care of your pets and make sure they get some love! Your home your rules! Just let me know how you like things and what you have in mind for the visits. I cant take pets into my own home as we are already at our 2 pet limit but I am more than happy to help figure out what works for you!

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!

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.

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.
