About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. For the past 11 months, I’ve worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. My job has taught me how to safely handle group play, recognize canine body language, administer basic care, and ensure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I’m currently going to school to become a professional dog trainer. Because of my flexible school schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care while keeping you updated every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾

“Amanda was amazing!!! Ella (dog) is high anxiety and reactive to other dogs. She took to Amanda immediately like she knew her for years. Amanda sent pictures and updates, just a wonderful experience. We will definitely be using her again 🩷🩷🩷”
“Nicole was very responsive and flexible when we had a last minute change. Always responded to any messages from me promptly. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and was great with our puppy.”
About: I have experience with puppies and dogs I have had 2 dogs before a pug and a German Shepard I love taking walks and being outside! I’m a college student but most of my classes are from 9am-12pm so I’m free the rest of the day for whatever your pet needs. I have my own car so I drive a lot and can do homework from my computer. My cats are my number one priority keeping them safe is everything. We always make sure to check for our babies when leaving the house or doing laundry. I’m very careful when it comes to animal Saftey and making sure they are the happiest they can ever be when I’m taking care of them.
“Ana is our go to cat sitter. We have used her at least 3 times in the past. She does a great job and our home always looks better than when we left. Upon entering our home the kitties greeted us as if we were only gone overnight instead of 14 days! They are relaxed and calm without exhibiting any signs of distress or anxiety.”
“Ken did a great job taking care of our pets and home when we were away for a long weekend. Top notch communication and transparency and love for Maggie and Winks. Home also well cared for. Highest recommendation from us! Thank you!!”
“Kimberly (Kay) is a sweet girl who was great with our two older dogs. She was an excellent communicator, kept us informed about everything and sent lots of pics. She also took wonderful care of our house. We definitely recommend Kay and look forward to working with her again.”
“We have been so happy with Michele. She seems to love our dog as much as we do, took great care of our dog, and paid attention to make sure our dog got the special care + medicines he needed while he was nursing a broken foot. Now that we have tried a few different dog sitters, we can really appreciate how we feel at ease knowing our dog will be happy and well cared for when we hire Michele.”
About: I am a huge dog lover! I have grown up with multiple dogs (chocolate lab & dachshund) and now I have a mini golden doodle, who is the most energetic and loving dog! I am more than happy to stay at your residence throughout the week to watch your animal if you are away on a trip. If you are thinking more daytime, I work two days from home so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animal on select days of the week. Typically, Thursdays and Fridays are work from home days. I used to be a Boy Scout and a motto we followed was “Leave No Trace”. Depending on your rules, all will be followed, and your dog will be treated like he/she is my own with patience, passion, and care.
“Taylor housesat for us for almost a week and was very prompt in ensuring our old canine girl, who needs medication four times a day, got her medications on time. She also took out the trash, brought in mail, accommodated workmen that needed to conduct repairs in our home, and left our home in tidy condition. We are very happy with her services and will reach out to her again.”
“Conor was great. Our dog and cat took to him quickly and we really appreciated the pictures and updates. He also took great care of our house while he was there. We'll happily have him back the next time we need someone to watch our pets.”
About: I love animals very much. I can always establish a good interactive relationship with pets and help them adapt to the new environment quickly. By observing and perceiving their needs, I can provide timely help and let them spend a relaxing and happy time. I have also taken care of many older dogs and know how to feed them medicine and care for them. I work from home so I am able to take care of the pet throughout the day, I take dog for walks in the morning and evening and take him out to play in the backyard every two to three hours. I have a fenced backyard and I have a six year old very well behaved and friendly little dachshund at home to play with your dog. Because I take care of my own dog every day and have taken care of different kinds of dogs, so I can take good care of your dog too.
About: My family and I love dogs very much. I will cook for them and bathe them. I like to take them to the park. I spile my dog's hair every day. I'm currently studying at home, so I have time to take care of the dog. Dogs can go out every 2-4 hours. I can sit in the yard and play with the dog. There are two yards for dogs to play in my house, and two puppies to accompany them. Dogs can move freely at home. I can clean the dog toilet.
About: I’ve been a cat lover my entire life and have grown up with cats in my home for as long as I can remember. I have many years of experience caring for cats and always make sure they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve. Being around cats from such a young age taught me how to understand their needs and make them feel safe and comfortable. I also regularly volunteer with a local humane society, where I help care for cats at my local PetSmart. Caring for cats is something I genuinely love, and I would be happy to give your cat the same love and attention I give my own:) I am available everyday for check in visits. On Monday, I have class from 1pm-5pm, Wednesday I have class from 1pm-9pm, and on the weekend I’m flexible and can do longer visits. As for the rest of the week ( Tuesday, Th, Fr) I work from 8:30-5 so visits would be after 5pm or before 8am. I provide a safe, comfortable, environment where cats feel at home. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection. I maintain their usual routines to help them feel secure. When caring for pets in their own home, I be sure to follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I can handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and cuddles. I will also send daily updates so you know your pet is in loving hands.
About: I’m an animal lover. I treat pets like they’re my babies—I have patience and lots of love to give. I’m dedicated to learning about your pet, respecting their boundaries, and staying attentive to their routines, potty breaks, and exercise. I’ve cared for large dogs, active pups, seniors, and even disabled dogs, and I feel confident adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I’m a homebody who loves spending time at home, so pets won’t be left alone for long. With my pet and yours, my days are all about walks, playtime and cuddles. I work from home on creative projects, which gives me plenty of flexibility I care for pets by following the owner’s routine as written on the app — walks, playtime, evening playground visits, and plenty of cuddles. I hope your pet will miss me

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hickory Ridge
Hannah was fabulous with our dogs! She texted photos and updates every day, and was very responsive to texts. Hannah administered medication twice daily to one of our dogs which is not an easy thing to do. This was the first time Hannah stayed with our dogs. We will definitely use her again!
Christa is very easy to work with and helped us feel reassured about the dog and house being looked after. Her son, Elias, clearly became a preferred playmate of our dog & will be missed (!). Thank you to both Christa & Elias. We will hope she is available yo use her again
We had a great experience with Leslie. She accommodated our booking last minute, which was incredibly helpful and took a lot of stress off our shoulders. She kept us updated throughout Olive’s stay with messages and photos. We really appreciated her responsiveness, flexibility, and the care she showed Olive. Would absolutely book with her again!
A+ Mayra took very good care of Birdie and Charlie. She kept us informed of their day-to-day progress. Charlie is an easy dog to take care of, and Birdie has health issues and takes a lot of medicine twice a day. Mayra made sure that Birdie got her medicine on-time each day. I will use her again when the time arises.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hickory Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hickory Ridge is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 10,714 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hickory 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 Hickory 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 Hickory 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 Hickory 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
