“Sarah is a reliable cat sitter and my shy cats can feel comfortable with her with each visit! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur babies! Appreciate you fitting us despite your busy schedule!”
“Mariah was excellent with our dog Tahla and was able to help dog sit her with little time in advance thanks to her good communication and willingness to help. She was timely with her check-ins, followed directions well, and took good photos of Tahla each visit.”
“Mylo really enjoyed Ellie's company, she played with him, he was so tired that he slept the rest of the afternoon, she took care of his necessary things as a baby dog, she is a very kind girl, of course she will spend time with mylo again”
About: I have helped to raise and take care of my dog for over seven years and I’ve helped to look after a couple missing pets until we could find their owners and bring them back to their homes. I’m a student-athlete in college so I have practice and school in the mornings and afternoons on Monday-Thursday so those days I typically won’t be available until 5:00 pm. I also have practices on Saturday mornings and wouldn’t be available until around 12:00 pm. Fridays and Sundays are usually completely free. I have an unfenced yard but I can easily take your dog out on a leash to use the bathroom. I have a very nice and well behaved mini golden doodle that would love a friend to play with. I’ll make sure your dog gets the food, water, care, and attention that they need to be happy and healthy.
About: I had a dog from the time she was a puppy till she passed away. So I am experienced in both puppy care and elderly dog care. I have lots of grooming experience for both dogs and cats. I currently have had my cat for 5 years. I’m currently unemployed so I have a very open schedule at the moment. I am a student in college but my classes are online so they don’t impact my schedule. My cat is fed every morning around 9 am, and I make sure to play with her in the afternoons. I also give her weekly baths, and brushings.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and understand that pets are family. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, including my own Mini Bernedoodle. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to providing updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy and comfortable. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a fun, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is something I truly enjoy! Since I work part-time, I spend my days off providing attentive and loving care to dogs. I have a flexible schedule, do not work weekends, and will do my best to accommodate your needs. 🐾 Services I Offer * Dog Walking * Boarding * Drop-In Visits & Pet Sitting 🐶 A Little About My Home I have a sweet and friendly Mini Bernedoodle who absolutely loves having doggy friends over! Creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup is my top priority. While I do not have a fenced yard, all dogs are taken outside on a leash several times throughout the day for potty breaks and walks. I also have a dog park conveniently located near my home and would be happy to take your dog there if they enjoy socializing and you are comfortable with dog park visits. 📋 Boarding Guidelines To ensure the safety and comfort of all pets in my care, I kindly ask that: * Dogs are friendly and non-aggressive. If a dog displays aggressive behavior, they may need to be kenneled for everyone’s safety. * Please do not bring your dog if they are sick or experiencing severe diarrhea or other contagious illnesses. * Owners please provide any special instructions, medications, or feeding schedules so I can give your pet the best care possible. ❤️ I understand that pets are family, and I will treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own.
“Rosmary was wonderful. She made my girls very comfortable with her. Coco and Brownie are very skittish when it comes to meeting new people. Rosmary sent me updates, pictures, and videos for every drop in visit. I will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you Rosmary!”
About: My family has always been referred to as a farm. I know how to take care of of dogs, cats, turtles, snakes, and lizards. So I will take care of about anything you ask me too It gets me out of the house to take care of animals and I’ve always wanted to be a vet but for now this is as close as I can get. I’ve always had a passion of animals I always treat my animals with respect and I always read body language. I will always know if none of my animals are comfortable with what I’m doing and I’ll immediately stop. I treat them with love and respect always!
“Katharine was a great house/dog sitter! She was good at communicating and asking questions if needed. She helped our peace of mind by her promptness and attention to detail. We hope to use Katharine again in the future for our pups care!”
“He responded right away when we made a request, was great with our big dogs, gave us lots of updates, and very respectful of our home. Very happy with the drop in visits he did! Will definitely be calling on him again.”
“Jozie has been great. My pups really warmed up to her. She is punctual and communicated well on a simple schedule change. She was also very kind to bring in my packages from the door step. Will definitely request again in the future.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our two cats while we were away! She sent me daily updates and photos, which I really appreciated—it gave me peace of mind knowing they were doing well. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets. I came home to two happy cats and everything in great shape. I would definitely book with Rachel again and highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up raising puppies and caring for dogs! I love dogs and would be happy to welcome them into my home. I have a one-year-old border collie pup who would love to have a playmate over the weekends. I live in a house with a fenced backyard, and take her on walks up twice a day. My husband Forrest and I tend to care for the doggies together, but I will be the primary sitter and will always be with the dogs. I am available on the weekends for overnight boarding! Friday through Sunday works for our schedule, but may be able to help on some weeknights. My yard is fenced in the back but we always keep our doggies on a leash for potty breaks to be safe. I would like to meet before hand to make sure our dogs get along first.
About: My husband and I were raised with dogs. They have always just been part of the family. In our marriage we have trained our dogs from puppies and also older dogs as rescues. Our kids love to play and cuddle with dogs. Unfortunately, due to allergies we can only take dogs that are hypo allergenic. So non-shedding dogs. I am an at home mom with a super flexible schedule. of course I’m in and out with the occasional errands but for the most part I’m available. I have a fully fenced half acre lot for your fur baby to get to run and play or enjoy a little nap in the shade. We have also 2 dogs who would be happy to keep your fur babies company. Our whole family loves dogs and would love to cuddle on the couch and watch a movie with your fur baby after my kids are done playing with them.
About: I’ve grown up and been around all types of dogs my whole life. I can be active with younger dogs and laid back with senior dogs. I have a private fenced in backyard and a dog park at our building so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and sunshine! We can go on morning and afternoon walks, frequent potty breaks and play with toys in the backyard. The stay can also be relaxing if your dog does not have a lot of energy. Your dog will be under our watch besides daily trips to the gym and occasional errands. All eating schedules and medications can be accommodated during the stay.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Saratoga Springs is $19
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saratoga Springs
We had a wonderful experience! Lela took amazing care of our dogs, Marlie and Theo, and kept us well updated so we had complete peace of mind. Lela was also so responsive and kind with accommodating any of our needs or change of plans. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and we will be booking her again. Highly recommend! 💛
Elaina is AMAZING. We had never used the Rover service and were nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn’t know. Elaina went out of her way to meet our dog beforehand & helped us feel so comfortable. She went above and beyond to check in on her-our dog can get anxious and resist eating until she’s comfortable with someone and Elaina was so patient with her and adaptive to her needs. Our dog was so spoiled with love and affection and the photos we received daily made us so happy to see. You could clearly see our dog was living her best life with Elaina and was loving her check in visits from her! I’d 1000% recommend her to anyone. Did I mention she even cleaned our dog’s food and water bowls and had a fresh cup of food ready to pour for our dog’s meal when we got home?! She’s the best and we just love her. Thank you Elaina!
Raegan not only took incredible care of our sweet boy but she genuinely cares for them and making sure all their needs are met! She is the sweetest and we will for sure be using her again! If you want someone you can trust, kind, and genuinely loves your dog, please use Raegan!!
We were nervous to all leave the pets. Nikki was very understanding and took the time to explain everything to me and even suggested coming over to look at things so that she had a good idea of where things were and how we did things. Our pets were well taken care of and I loved the pictures and updates. I shared them to our family chat so everyone could see they were well taken care of. Would absolutely book with Nikki again.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
