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.
“Sarah has come to sit for me twice now and has been great! My cats can have funky personalities and she’s so good at connecting with them and keeping me updated with everything. If she has to come late, early, or change how long she’s there, she always lets me know. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her 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.”
“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 grown up around all sorts of animals and have always loved them! I sometimes feel like I’m a whisperer😌 I have always taken good care of my pets and payed close attention to them. I am currently searching for a remote job. In the meantime and hopefully during said remote job, I will have plenty of time to take care of your loved ones. I have a fenced and spacious backyard for my two dogs. I take them out hourly and let them run around and play. I also feed them 2-3 times a day.
“Nevada was the absolute best! She checked in on our senior cat 3 days while we were out of town and I got pictures everyday so I didn’t have to worry about my old man who is a VERY social cat. I can’t wait to have her cat sit for us again and we are seriously considering having her look after our dog midday for us regularly as well because she did such a great job. Thank you!!”
About: Happy to care for your babies at your home or mine. No children at home and one friendly spayed Rhodesian Ridgeback. We love to walk and cuddle at night. Dog safe and friendly home. I have a flexible work schedule and am very active. Kids are grown so now I spend my time loving on fur babies. We walk at least once a day rain or shine. Out house is calm and kid free. Fenced yard for all the exploring Dogs fit right in. Our lives are built around a happy house, not a spotless house. We have a large fenced yard and are happy to walk your pup or head over to the local dog park, whatever you’re comfortable with. Drops in will include lots of love and car rides are always an option.
About: The main reason why I am want to start being a dog sitter is that I love taking care of animals. I have been a nanny and taken care of there dogs as well. I love it, but since I have a little less time on my hands I need something just a tad easier. What sets me aside from other dog sitters is that I want them to have much time outdoors as possible. I know its hard when you live in an apartment or just aren't home as much and you have a dog with higher energy and you don't have the time to take them out. I want to be that person that can help you with that issue. I have taken care of my neighbors dogs and also friends dogs while they are away at work. Right now I am just taking some classes getting my bachelors degree so I have lots of time on my hands and would love helping you out! I am looking for additional income, I work a job from 12-6 most days. I have two little dogs, Yoshi and Buddha , that I love and I know they would enjoy making some more doggy friends! I have also potty trained several puppies including my own and I also teach tricks and little cute things like that! Let me know if you're interested :)
About: Hello! My name is Abigail, but I go by Abi. I’m 20 years old and have earned my associate’s degree in musical theatre, with plans to continue on to my BFA. I’ve had pets in my life since I was 3 years old, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I’m experienced with daily pet care like walking, bathing, nail trims, playtime, and (of course) plenty of cuddles. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve also taken care of neighbors’ pets, including dog walking and both daily and overnight visits to make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Animals mean so much to me, and I would truly love the opportunity to care for your furry family members and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week to care for and spend quality time with your pets. My schedule is very flexible, so I’m able to accommodate walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays as needed. My weekend availability can vary slightly, but I’m always happy to work with you to find times that fit your schedule. I make pet care a priority in my routine, and I’m committed to being reliable, attentive, and making sure your pets get the care, attention, and love they deserve every day. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pet. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time, along with two friendly, playful dogs who love having company. along with my dogs, I have 5 cats that can be trusted with any fur baby. I always prioritize safe introductions and can easily crate your dog if preferred, or provide them with their own quiet space so they can feel relaxed and at home. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m happy to handle tasks like feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, baths if needed, and of course lots of attention and cuddles. I also make sure to keep your home clean and respected while you’re away. No matter the service, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for at all times.
“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 have owned three dogs, and loved them all. Each dog is individual and I have a keen sense of observation, which honed my ability to find out what they need. I have a lot of patience and I know dogs deserve to be loved and taken care of! I love to get to know and meet new breeds, while also learning more about them before I meet them. Dog training is something that I’m familiar with, as well as handling dogs that are not as trained. Having a variety of tricks up my sleeve, I can keep a dog attentive and engaged so that they are active mentally as well as physically. Dogs are smart, fun, and loving and they should get to show that everyday! I work until 4pm, so my afternoons and evenings are available for dogs and their care, I also have every holiday available because of my current work. We have a one bedroom with a balcony, and a giant field and park around the corner! Easy access to plenty of room to play and run.
“Tara was great. She was able to come for a visit last minute to let my pup out. Would definitely use her again. She was very prompt to reply and gave thoughtful updates on her visit.”
About: I’ve cared for family dogs ever since I was little and now get to love on my own fur babies. I am very active and can give special attention to young or high-energy dogs. Additionally, I am trained in dog cpr/first aid from previous experience. I am home during the week days and can easily drop in or spend extended time with your fur babies to play or go for a walk if needed! I live in a house with an unfenced yard, but always walk my dog on a leash or leash her when letting her outside to use the bathroom. There are several parks within walking distance that I take her to.

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.

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.

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.

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.
