Dog Walking Saratoga Springs

“Justin is incredible. He’s responsible, caring and goes above and beyond. I would definitely use him again and highly recommended. He kept me informed and contacted me immediately with any issues.”

About: I’m very particularly clean and have always been picky about staying clean and organized. Making sure the litter box area is clean, food and water bowls etc. :) I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with pups! My work schedule does vary week to week but I’m just looking to make some extra money on the side. At home i have 2 German shepherds that are very active and love to play. We have a very large open backyard that they roam freely. I frequently watch dogs that are leash only and love a good walk! I also have 2 cats and always make sure they have food and a clean water bowl and litter box. We are very strict in my house and always make sure the litter box is clean and the surrounding areas!

“Thank you for walking Dunkin in some grueling conditions (unrelenting snow squall & very cold conditions). I really appreciate you helping him unwind. He looks forward to his walks! 😊”

About: Hello, my name is Alie and my #1 passion is animals! In search of my calling in life, I have found myself working for a pet grooming salon in my hometown, Milton, NY! I spend my days Tuesday-Saturday bathing and grooming neighborhood dogs then go home to love on my own German Shepard/Belgian Malinois mix and Tabby cat! My weekends are filled with time spent with my family (pets are family!) and my pet sitting clients. I have spent my whole life around dogs and cats, helping to fulfill all of their needs, and have been formally pet-sitting for the public since 2021. Since I was about 12 years old, I have gained experience caring for dogs for friends and family, providing basic care such as feeding and potty breaks. As I grew, my experience expanded to include transportation to and from the vet and groomer, feeding, oral medication administration, ear drops/ointment, eye drops, walking, and (the best part of course) playing! My experience also includes my feline friends, most often multi-cat homes, for regular feeding, oral medication administration, ear ointment, litter box cleaning, and, you guessed it, playing! I currently work at a grooming salon in Milton Tuesday-Saturday, so on those days I am available to love on your pets in the morning before I go to work and in the evening! On Sundays and Mondays, I can come for a visit during the mid-day hours. All of my clients are the highlight of my work-day, I look forward to every visit so you can trust me to be there when you need me! Your pets safety and comfort are of the utmost importance to me, I take any time necessary to ensure your pet's comfortable with me being inside their home, even if I exceed the typical 30m or 60m visit length! Working at a grooming salon, I have honed my skills with dog body language so I know when your pups are upset. My experience with cats has also taught me when the kitties aren't happy as well! Meet & Greets are a necessary part of the booking process to ensure everyone's safety over the course of a booking. All bookings that include a dog are required to have a one-time complimentary Meet & Greet prior to booking. Dogs are careful about the humans they trust, espcially with their parents gone, so I'd like to make friends with you present! Other bookings that only include cats are not required to have a Meet & Greet prior to booking but you are more than welcome to request one! Any additional Meet & Greets that are requested beyond the initial complimentary Meet & Greet will be booked at the drop-in rate listed on my profile. At the first visit, slow and quiet are the name of the game, I take my time going about their routine so they can get used to me! After my tasks are done, it's my goal to make them as comfy as possible by offering them their favorite toys and treats at their own pace. By the end of the booking, my aim is to be your pets new best friend and your go-to sitter!

About: I grew up with dogs and have a cat so I’m open to all pets. In the past I have done drop ins and overnight stays. I’m working remotely and I’m super flexible with my schedule during the week, especially in the afternoons. Weekends are even more flexible and I can do any time of day. I am hoping to mainly be visiting client’s homes because I don’t know how my cat will react to animals coming into my home. I will keep your home clean and am very respectful of others’ space.

“Abigail was fantastic wi the our boy! He needed some medicine and she took care of his needs perfectly! Will definitely have her watch our boy again!”

“Emily is the first Rover sitter we've ever used and she was so great! She was patient in answering all my questions and explaining the process. My pug came back very happy and tired from her walk.”

“Net did a fantastic job with our dog’s first Rover experience and we were happy to get the photos, update and report cards - assurance our dog was being treated great while we were away. We will be booking with Net again!”

Maura M.

About: I have many years of experience working as a veterinary technician and caring for animals. I have 3 dogs of my own and 3 horses. I believe dogs are family members and allow dogs to relax in the comfort of my home. I live on a beautiful farm in saratoga and would like the opportunity to meet you and your fury family members. I work full time from home so I am never not home while your animal is here. This eliminates the need to crate animals and stress them out in an unfamiliar environment. I have a fenced yard and multiple safety gates to ensure no animal can get out. I own 3 personal dogs and allow all pets in and on my furniture.

“Thank you Michelle. You helped Dunkin burn up his energy, even on this rainy day. I really, really appreciate it! Dunkin was pretty happy too.”

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.

“Miakoda was fantastic with our dogs! She took the time to meet them and make sure their needs were met and she handled them both really well. She was patient, confident and clearly very good with dogs. We felt very comfortable with her caring for our boys!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds—big, small, and everything in between. From growing up surrounded by dogs and cats to earning a degree in Equine Reproduction and working as a veterinary assistant, animal care has always been at the heart of who I am. Over the past 20 years, I’ve raised four amazing Pitbulls, a spunky Jack Russell, and four cats. Our animals truly are our kids. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens, seniors, and special needs pets, and I’m highly experienced with giving medications, recognizing health issues, and providing basic first aid. Whether I’m staying in your home or dropping in for visits, your pets will be treated like family—because that’s how I see them. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust, and I’m here to make sure your pets are safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do my best to stay flexible for you and your pets. I’m available for most bookings, including weekends, holidays, and even last-minute requests. Whether you need a quick drop-in, an extended stay, or an emergency sitter, I’m here to help. My goal is to make your life easier while giving your pets the consistent, loving care they deserve. When I’m caring for your pets in your home, my top priority is keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm. I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and potty breaks to favorite toys and cuddle habits—because I know how important the little details are. I aim to keep things stress-free by maintaining your pet’s normal routine, minimizing disruption, and giving them the same love and attention you would. I always treat my clients’ homes with respect, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure you’re updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and safe.

“Jonathan R. has been a totally responsible dog walker, and I can’t recommend him highly enough to you! He is professional and knows so much about the different breeds, and, most importantly, dogs like him! He arrived on time and kept me updated on my dog’s progress. He easily accepted the changes I requested in our schedule. Please seriously consider hiring Jonathan!”

About: I’m a life long animal lover who would love to take care of your pets! My main priority is the happiness and safety of your animals. I believe pets are family and deserve the best care possible. I am open to dog walking, drop in visits as well as overnights. I have years of experience walking and caring for dogs and I’m the go-to person for my family in friends when they need a sitter. I work flexible hours and have mostly day time available with the possibility of later check ins in the evening. With a little more notice I’m available for overnight stays. I like to keep a dog’s routine as stable as possible by staying in their home. I’d love a detailed thorough schedule if possible to make sure I’m meeting all of their needs!

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.
