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!”

“I had such a wonderful experience with Crystal! From the very first message, she was warm, responsive, and clearly cared about my dogs’ comfort. My puppies settled in right away and seemed completely at ease the entire time. It was such a peaceful stay. I came home to relaxed, content dogs who had clearly been well cared for and gently spoiled. Crystal sent thoughtful updates and photos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I truly appreciated her attentive, gentle approach. I will book with her again and highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for a reliable, kind, and peaceful experience for their fur baby. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I can remember! I’ve been around pets my whole life. I’ve taken care of my family’s pets for years and for quick trips or long trips! I work freelance jobs so my availability is pretty open! I enjoy taking my dog on walks or just playing with them in general. It’s a great break from work and other things. I always take time to make sure the animals are doing well! I make sure to let the animals out as often as needed. If for any reason I need to go out for a couple hours I never go 2-3 hours without checking on the pet and making sure it can go outside.
“Body is an exceptional dog sitter and human. He cared for my 3 dogs, one special needs and one a puppy, giving me updates and taking good care of them. I was visiting Utah and he drove a good ways to meet my dogs and care for them. Highly recommend Brody. When we are back, we will get on the schedule for dog watching. This was the first time my puppy was away from me and watched by someone else. He immediately liked Brody and was well behaved with him. Thank you Brody - the pups and me.”
About: I grew up LOVING dogs and cats and honestly all sorts of animals . I dont have any official training in veterinary practices, but I do feel I do know quite a bit of taking care of animals and making them feel safe and loved . I have two beagles I helped my father raise after we got them from a rescue and they are the best part of my life. I love animals I hope you consider me to animals sit so I can just spend time loving on animals. 😁👍 (I list my experience mainly caring for my beagles but I promise ive been caring for dogs for more than three years) I honestly love spending as much of my day taking care of dogs as I physically can, weather thats bringing them with me places, playing in the yard, or just giving pets. I always try to be with the animal (because as much is i love em sometimes they can get into trouble if not watched) I always make sure I know if foods are safe for animals first off no matter what if I dont know. Even if its treats honestly I still like to read for a second or two. Always make sure areas are safe too, make sure things are picked up so nothing can be grabbed by a doggo, and also if im letting them out to go potty I always keep track of where they are especially at night because things happen to fences all the time and dogs are smart.
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 :)
“My dog Lilo absolutely loves Kendra. It is so comforting to know that your pet is well taken care of while you are away on vacation. Pet sitting or housesitting, I would book her again and again.”
“Leilani did a great job with our old dog and young puppy while we were out of town for the weekend. Very reliable and responsive. We’ll definitely try to use her in the future.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Saratoga Springs is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saratoga Springs
This is the very first time I have ever used Rover and I needed it very fast with very little warning. Marco was absolutely amazing. I almost wonder if Georgie wants him coming back and wants me going back out of town? I sure hope anytime I need to get another dog sitter. Marco is available because he was absolutely amazing. Thank you, Rover for creating such an amazing opportunity for dog owners and those who love dogs to come together.
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!

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.

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.
