“Brooklyn was the best and took such good care of our pups! She bought our dogs toys, took them for walks, and sent updates everyday with lots of pictures. I would highly recommend her!”
“Kelsey was great! She took care of my 3 cats when my husband and I had to leave town suddenly due to a death in the family. She responded quickly and was able to meet us within hours to go over the pets so we could leave asap. She made sure to give us a daily update with pictures of our babies. And she left our house so clean (cleaner than it was when we left). She empty and refilled the cats' litter box, cleaned the counters, and vacuum! We will definitely book her again.”
“Hannah was EXCELLENT! She went Above & Beyond with my Billie. Hannah sent me a dozen pictures of Billie. She has the sweetest personality. I would use her again and I recommend her highly!”
“We love Tonia! She was fantastic with our two treasured pups. She was attentive, loving, and very clean/ organized, which always makes coming home a delight. She made sure to send a lot of pictures so we always knew our babies were well cared for. 100% recommend!”
“Clare was a lovely dog sitter and house sitter for us while we were on vacation for a week. She endured storms with our little dogs and a water outage for a short period of time and was a trooper. I felt so at ease knowing Clare was watching our pups and home for us while we were gone. We got updates throughout the day, lots of pictures and videos too! We’re looking forward to scheduling Clare for our next trip later this year.”
“Emma was great! She’s a good communicator and pays close attention to detail. Most importantly, my dogs loved her! I felt so comfortable leaving my babies in her care and when I came back they were so relaxed and happy! I will absolutely be contacting her in the future to care for my dogs!”
About: I communicate and send pictures and updates with all visits. I care for you pet like they were my own & they'll get snuggles and extra love from my kids. I used to work for the PetSmart pet hotel back in college and I've had experience with all sorts of animals from farm animals to domestic pets. I have more recent experience with farm animals such as goats, chickens, quail, rabbits, peacocks, sheep, guardian dogs, donkeys, and ducks, horses, and some livestock. I recently sold my farm to move closer to town. I am a stay at home mama and I can come in the mornings and evenings at minimum but likely will add in 1-2 mid day visits. I communicate everything and expectations with you. I have a fenced yard, I can bring a leash or small kennel for cats, I'm experienced with loop leads, regular collars, and harnesses.
“Ashley did a great job watching our pups. Communication was fantastic… pics and texts, as we’d discussed up front. She even checked on our chickens when the weather became unseasonably warm! Thanks Ashley!”
“100% recommend Kathleen!! She treats your pet like her own. Very respectful of our home. Took our dog on a walk every night & fed our fish. It’s hard for us to take a vaca & leave our baby at home, Kathleen made the process easy.”
“Courtney is absolutely amazing with our two dogs! She provides exceptional care and always keeps us in the loop with adorable photos and thoughtful updates. We’ve booked with her multiple times already and will definitely continue using her for all of our dog-sitting needs. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Morgan was amazing with our babies!!! I have lots of anxiety when leaving our pets and she made me feel so assured that they would be in good hands! It made our trip so much better!! Both my dog and cat are on medications and she was wonderful with all of it!! I highly highly recommend her!!!!”
“Mikiah was great with my Husky. He was so accommodating, kind, and left my house tidy and clean. I really appreciate how he communicated and worked with me, even when we had some house problems. My dog was happy and spoiled when I came home and isn't that all that matters? I will definitely rebook Mikiah in the future.”
“Misty was great and Luna was safe and secure, happy and healthy when I arrived home. Finding a dog sitter on Memorial Day seemed like an impossible request so imagine my surprise when she accepted, arrived and did a great job. I highly recommend her!”
“We had to leave Smoke for 2 weeks. It was not easy for me, but happily, I found Rhiannon! She took excellent care of Smoke and of the house. She even watered and looked after the gardens. Could not ask for a better sitter. We’ll be booking with her again without hesitation.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Dry Ridge is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dry Ridge
Brooklyn was amazing! She watched our dog on very short notice and made the entire process so easy. She responded quickly, was friendly and kind from the start, and even came to pick up our dog, which was a huge help. We felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care, and she kept us updated throughout the stay. We would definitely book with Brooklyn if we ever visit this town again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dry Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 829 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dry Ridge. 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 Dry Ridge 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 Dry Ridge 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 Dry Ridge 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.
