“Allison can be depended on for timely communication, attention to instructions and providing loving care to you dogs. She is an excellent choice as a dog sitter and dog walker.”
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.
“Anika was great. The cats took an immediate liking to her during the meet ‘n greet so we knew we could trust her. Great communication throughout - so easy and pleasant to work with.”
“Kelly was fantastic dropping in on our two pugs! She was quick to respond to messages and sent great photos with the rover cards after each visit. I felt very at ease leaving our dogs under her care. We came home to two very happy dogs. Will absolutely use again!!”
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.
“Angela is reliable, cat friendly and makes you feel at ease knowing she drops in. She made friends with my unsocial cat. That has made us especially glad we had her services.”
“Emily was great! This was my first time using Rover and someone I didn’t personally know to take my pup out and hang out with her for an hour. Emily met us before the date and was so friendly. Saturday when she walked and hung out with Josie she was on time, really kind and kept me very informed on how the hour was! Really happy with this first time experience and look forward to using Emily in the future!”
“Michelle is the BEST. I feel so comfortable leaving our Flower in her hands while we’re away. Our dog is very reactive and sometimes difficult to walk… Michelle is like the dog whisperer with her. She’s amazing, I almost don’t want to recommend her because then she’ll be too busy with other customers! 💗”
“I cannot say enough regarding how wonderful Faith is and has been a true Godsend to my baby. I have confidence that Morgan is well taken care of and loved as well in my absence. This peace of mind makes all the difference.”
“I cannot thank Kevin enough. He jumped in last minute during an emergency and kept me updated every step of the way. He was super prepared at all times and very kind. My kitties were thrilled with his care and happy and healthy when I returned. Thanks so much Kev-- you'll hear from me again!”
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.
“Justin was able to help last minute with my senior diabetic dog, we had someone who was supposed to help cancel right before our trip. He was amazing with Bella , he was on time”
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!
“Alexandria was amazing!! She stopped in twice a day for 2 weeks to take care of our fat cat Gordon. She was on time every single time and Gordon warmed up to her right away! The pictures she took every day are some of the best photos we have of him lol her Rover cards are very detailed. I would definitely trust her to watch my pets anytime ?”
“I booked Elaina to do a drop In visit for my 10 week old puppy and my 8 month old puppy. She cleaned up the pee on the floor, let out my two older dogs and stayed over a half an hour to get my stubborn 8 months old puppy back in her kennel. I will definitely be booking again, if she is still willing to accept us after today’s events.”
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!
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Saratoga Springs is $23
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saratoga Springs
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!
Abigail was wonderful with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while being away. It was clear my cats were well cared for and comfortable which is all I could ask for. Highly recommend! 🐱💕
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.
Sarah was absolutely amazing in taking care of our cat while we were away! I booked last minute and am so grateful it was Sarah we picked to take care of him. She stopped by to do the meet and greet and I knew immediately he would be well taken care of. She updated me and even went out of her way to pick up food for him that we ran out of. We will definitely be requesting her anytime we are away!
Lauren did a great job on a short notice with my 2 cats! They seemed very comfortable with her and when I got home they were happy and healthy! She even vacuumed their litter room without being prompted which I thought was a nice touch. She was also great with communication and photos. I would definitely book her again.
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!

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,114 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
