About: I grew up around dogs and never miss the chance to offer a walk. I learn and adapte fast to your dog’s needs and personality. I love being active and outside. I’m saving up for a PT certification, so be one pet at a time! I’m currently waiting for w-2 job to start so have a lot of free time in my hands. I know leaving a pet with someone new can be stressful. My goal is to give you some peace of mind and keep you informed on everything we do and how it’s going. Typically fresh bowl of water, litter box is clean at least three times a day (if not more). Grooming every week and brushing their teeth two times a week, playtime outside at least twice a day.
“Liz's care was everything a special needs dog required. Stella is not only a nervous nelly but her underlying medical condition requires she stay away from other dogs and gets her medication as prescribed. Liz was calming and caring for our Stella and for me who worried about leaving Stella with a new person. Liz followed the long list of instructions accurately and was right on time for Stella's meet and greet and for the start of the week's care. It was especially amazing that Liz was available over Christmas and cheerful about "working" during the holiday. She even was willing to stay longer for Stella's care when our return flight got canceled, and I was pleased she upheld her commitment to her next booking even though she was very sorry she couldn't extend for us. Our home was in excellent condition when we returned. Stella was happy and well cared for under Liz's care. Liz communicated and sent pictures daily. Stella and I will be looking Liz's way for Stella's care when I am out of town again.”

About: I’ve had a long time love for animals of all shapes and sizes! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and horses, and have developed respect and patience for them over the years. Would love to be of service caring for your pets if you need it! I work hybrid from home with a fairly flexible schedule, afternoons and evenings work best, but give me a days heads up and we can work something out! I like to build trust with animals by letting them come to me when they’re ready! I am always aware of pets and want to give them what they need (pets and belly rubs, outside time, compliments ☺️, safety, etc.) I can crate a pet if needed, and I am always sure to lock up behind me as I leave if I am pet-sitting.
“Josh was amazing to our girl, Anela! With the fires happening around the area, he kept us updated and was even so kind to stay the night to ensure we were comfortable until the fires were contained. We appreciate you!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saratoga Springs
Love Rae and Ben! Our puppies were so loved and we had such a sense of peace with our travels. They were so respectful of our home and treated it as their own. They really went above and beyond! It is such a relief to find a trustworthy dog sitter and one we can count on in the future! Thank you Rae and Ben! We can’t wait to see you again!
Marco took care of our pet for a few days with great dedication, responsibility, and a positive attitude! We’re very grateful for his punctuality, hard work, and the care he gave our dog!! He helped with his routine walks, made sure he always had food and fresh water, and played with him. One day, he brought his own dog over to play with mine, and it was a really fun afternoon. His service is excellent, and he always makes a point of messaging you every time he’s doing something for your pet.

FAQs for House Sitting - Saratoga Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Saratoga Springs on Rover is $45.51 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,583 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Saratoga Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saratoga Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saratoga Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
