About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life as my family have always owned dogs along with the occasional neighbor going on vacation. I love to go on good long walks with my dogs and I would love to do the same with other pets! My schedule is different from day to day depending on my classes. I have more free time on the weekends but also have several hour break between classes during the week. My house has a big backyard along with walking trails in forested area near by that is great on hot days. I don’t normally like walking next to roads so my favorite is to find secluded trails.
About: I’ve been the primary care taker of my dog. I have also dog sat multiple times for 4 different dogs, three of which are in the same household. I’m currently working part-time at tacobell, and I’m still in high-school, but for the summer I am mainly working from around 930/10 to about 5/530, this will definitely change when school starts back up though! I would like to work more at other peoples houses due to my own dog being territorial.. I can take the dogs out for walks (Maybe take them on a trail if that’s alright) or I can let them into the backyard if that’s what is preferred. I will also pick up the dog’s poop (I’ll bring my own poop bags and will throw it away in the outside garbage can).
About: Hi! I’m Sarah! I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, cows, and other animals. I have two dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just hanging out with them while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m always happy to meet beforehand so you and your pets can get comfortable with me! I usually work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but my schedule can switch around sometimes. I’m mostly available Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, depending on my work schedule that week. I provide dog walking and drop-in visits in the client’s home. I’ll make sure your dog gets the exercise, attention, food, and care they need while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and will follow any instructions you leave for your pet
“Faith was the best. We needed a Dog Walker when we came to the area for work. Our dog had serious separation anxiety and can be very timid with strangers, so we were somewhat hopeless, but our dog took immediately to Faith and was immediately very comfortable, even confident, being walked by Faith, who also had some really smart ways to distract our dog before she got overly anxious while we were away. It was astonishing and terribly needed. We cannot recommend Faith enough.”
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.
“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!”
“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 have a medium sized dog of my own and have taken care of her since a puppy. I have helped others with caring for their dogs as well. I absolutely love all kinds of animals. I care for my dog everyday. I give her food and water, and brush her everyday. I exercise her each day as well taking her on walks and playing ball in the yard. I have a dog of my own who plays well with others. I have a dog friendly neighborhood and a field nearby to play in along with many nature trails nearby for long walks.
“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.”
“Michelle did a great job checking in on our cat for the week. She did everything we asked of her and more. Our cat liked her and we would definitely book her again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Angela to take care of my beloved pets, and I couldn't be more impressed with her services. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that she was not only professional but also incredibly caring and considerate. Angela followed every instruction I provided to the letter, ensuring that my pets' routines were maintained perfectly. Her attention to detail was remarkable, and she went above and beyond to make sure that my pets were comfortable and happy. Whether it was feeding them, taking the time to groom them daily, or simply spending quality time with them, she handled everything with the utmost care and patience. What truly sets Angela apart is her genuine love for animals and her compassionate nature. She treated my pets as if they were her own, and it was evident in the way they responded to her. Her calm and patient demeanor made my pets feel at ease, and I could see how much they enjoyed her company. Beyond her exceptional pet-sitting skills, Angela is a wonderful human being. She is kind, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the well-being of the pets in her care. Her positive attitude and warm personality made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend Angela to anyone in need of a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. She truly is a gem, and I am grateful for the outstanding care she provided to my pets. I would absolutely, without a doubt book with her again in a heartbeat. Angela, we wish you the absolute best in life. - The Andrews family”
“Emily is very easy to communicate with which helps with peace of mind! The dogs followed her around immediately and she was great with them. Would definitely book again!”
“Alie is GREAT! From the initial booking to the meet and greet to the days she cared for my cat, Cricket, she was responsive, friendly, caring, and thorough. Very happy with the care she gave my “baby” and loved the detailed notes and pics she sent. Highly recommend and will definitely contact her again when needed in the future. Thanks Alie!!”

“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!!!!”
“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.”

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!

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.

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.
