“As a pet sitter myself, I can be picky regarding who I pick to watch my animals. I am grateful to have found Monica and glad she was available during the busy holiday season. She great care of the animals, including my roommates pup. She sent pictures which made us feel great and took care of the home. We appreciate the care that was put into looking after the furbabies. Will use Monica again!”

“Avery was awesome and took such good care of my dogs, provided photos and updates, and went above and beyond when it came to taking care of my apartment while I was gone as well. My dogs absolutely loved her!!”
About: I have had dogs and cats and I have even had chickens of my own in the past. I will treat your pet with loving kindness. Working remotely allows me some freedom to come and go. I will take your pet for walks or even hikes if they will enjoy it. I will play with your pet and give them loving attention. Let me know what makes your pet happy and what level of attention they prefer.
“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!!”
“Sarah recently watched my dog Diane for the first time. Diane only hesitantly trusts people but Sarah has a way about her and was able to gain Diane's trust quickly. Sarah is very responsive to messages. She sent updates and pictures every day. I didn't have to worry about Diane as I knew she was in capable hands. I would use Sarah as a sitter again and highly recommend her.”
“Tiana took amazing care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation!! She was so sweet to send us daily updates and photos, and we could tell our fur babies adored her. She left the house super clean, we would 100% hire her again and recommend her!”
“Haydyn was amazing with my two pups! She sent me tons of updates, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I could tell they were not only well taken care of, but genuinely happy in her care. It’s clear she loves animals and treats them like her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
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.
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.
“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!”
“Our cats seemed very happy and well taken care of when. We returned home. Janica respected our space and cleaned up after herself. Our cats decided to not use the robot little box as usual and she was great about keeping the regular litter box clean.”
About: I have two dogs and have had four cats over the course of thirteen years, I love them all dearly. I've also petsat for my neighbors while they were on vacation. I do all my schooling online so Im extremely flexible. I'm also free the majority if not all of the time! Just let me know when you need your pet taken care of and I'll be there. I'll make sure your pets are taken care of and fed, and spend time with them so they don't feel lonely. If your pet needs space I'm also happy to give them that. My dog is very friendly but doesn't get along with humans at first, so I have experience with scared animals
“Mark was amazing with our 3 dogs. We were very hesitant to leave them with someone we didn't know for a week and a half. But, Mark was so great to come over beforehand to meet us and meet the girls to make sure it was going to be a good fit for everyone. Mark was great with asking questions and making sure he understood our expectations before we left. While at our house, he did all the dogs' favorite things with them - long walks, runs, rides in the truck, snuggles on the couch. He kept us posted with pictures and videos and updates. When we got home, he had the house looking even better than we'd left it. We will definitely be looking to Mark first whenever we need someone to care for our girls.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Saratoga Springs is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saratoga Springs
Kristen and her husband were so helpful in my last minute booking for my family trip! I was in a very tight spot for a family vacation that I had to go on the very next day, and she responded within 20 minutes of the request (honestly probably less than that). They even came out to meet my boys same day to ensure they had all the details around the work needed to care for them. I only felt the need to check-in the night after I left but they quickly put my worries to ease, would book again and I would definitely consider letting Kristen watch over your animals🫶🏻
Isabelle was so great with our boy! We went out of town for the weekend to attend a wedding and, thanks to Isabelle, we were able to enjoy ourselves and not worry about a thing. She is prompt, responsive, and I came home to a clean, well-kept house. I couldn't ask for more ❤️
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 2,605 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.
