“Gabriela saved us in a pinch, she was always on time rocko looked happy when we returned, he would look stressed normally after being boarded. Definitely will call her again.”
“Super amazing person!! She watched over my four cats for 10 days while I was gone on vacation. I was literally head over heels for her service; she would leave detailed and thorough messages with photos after every visit. She would also include notes about what she had done or didn’t do with an explanation. Couldn’t thank her enough for the peace of mind while we were away.”
“Camila was great! We reached out last minute to set up a drop in visit for our golden retriever, Carson, and she was super quick to respond and set up a quick meet and greet later that same day. She took great care of our Carson, provided updates and pictures during their walk. We will definitely reach out to Camila next time we need a sitter!”
“Taylor did an exceptional job taking care of my cats. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. Taylor was attentive, reliable, and treated my cats with so much love and care. I truly appreciated the updates and peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets.”
About: I have been pet and house sitting since 2022. So far I have been pet sitting for friends and their friends, but I wanted to extend my services to the lovely people in my area. I grew up with a big dog as our family pet. Though he is no longer with us he was the perfect sassy addition to our family. Since I have started pet sitting I have had 4-legged clients of ALL sizes, we are talking teacup pup to 100+ lbs. I also have experience with all ages ranging from ~6months to senior and I understand their different needs and energy levels. I love to run and walk especially when a doggy friend tags along. I DO have experiment giving oral medications. I am an engineering student at GMU and my schedule can be a little funky compared to a typical 9-5. Please reach out to check my specific daily and long term availability! I take very great care for the safety of the animals that I watch over. I take special care when unleashing dogs to make sure that we are in a secure location (ex. Closed garage/door or fence). While on walks, even with friendly dogs, I try to stay away from others to prevent any potential incidents from happening. I also have experience with giving animals oral medication. I take close care to keep the medications on schedule and triple check that the medication was taken and not spit out (they can be sneaky sometimes).
“We are very happy we used Emily to sit for our cat Lola. Lola is a shy cat, and can have some food-motivated aggression at times, but Emily handled this so well! She sent great pictures and updates every visit that made us feel that Lola was in great hands while we were away. She also left our house in tip-top shape. We would love to book with her again”
“Stacy did an incredible job looking after our pets. We have engaged Stacy twice now and will continue to seek her out as she is an absolute professional who genuinely cares for the pets she’s looking after. Thanks you Stacy!”
“She was very flexible with stopping in and seeing Cauldron. My plans got flipped around and she worked with me. Would definitely rebook with her! Thank you again for all your help!”
About: As a former senior dog owner, I understand the patience, love, and attention our furry companions deserve at every stage of life. I'm experienced caring for multiple dogs! I am comfortable with pets that require medications, mobility assistance, special diets, or extra attention. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy or a sweet senior, I'll provide personalized care, regular updates, and plenty of love so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. As a United States Air Force member, I work Monday–Friday with consistent hours, leaving evenings and weekends free to board, walk, and love your pets! I provide personalized care by following each pet's routine, ensuring exercise, playtime, feeding, medication if needed, and plenty of love, attention, companionship, and comfort.
About: Im available all the time and have a lot of time with my own dog and I have a cat too. I’ve taken care of a senior dog I adopted and trained my current dog pretty well. My day is open. The only thing that’s ever on my calendar is getting my daughters to school. Other than that, I’m usually home. I have a fenced yard and my dog is really friendly. The yard is on the smaller side but still has plenty of places to run around.
About: For the majority of my life, I have had dogs, especially bigger dogs. I have also taken care of puppies and smaller dogs during my childhood. I’m currently working part-time and going to school. However I am free to care for your pet on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Monday and Wednesday in the late afternoons and evenings. The services I provide are dog walking, pet sitting as well as drop-in visits.During these visits, I can insure the safety of your pet by keeping an eye on them at all times, as well as keeping everything clean, and having clear communications with clients.
“I feel so lucky to have found Katie! She got back to me right away about her availability and also addressed my concerns with helping to care for my senior dog. You can just sense Katie loves pups and her caring nature makes me feel confident that my dog will be well taken care of!”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and enjoy caring for pets as if they were part of my own family. I am responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. What sets me apart is the personal attention and loving environment I provide. I am comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including pets that need extra patience, companionship, and daily routines. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away.🐶 Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I enjoy spending time with pets, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I can work their care into my schedule and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day I always make safety, comfort, and trust my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and playtime. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, and I keep their family updated so they can feel confident knowing their pet is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Ridge
We couldn't be happier with Dawson's care for our two hounds — Cleo and Clover might love him more than us now! He kept us updated with regular photos, communicated clearly, and treated our girls with so much love and compassion. We’d gladly hire him again anytime!
Shavedra took great care of our kitties! She sent daily updates and pictures. We didn't realize we were low on dry food, but she let us know in time for us to order delivery. We highly recommend her and will be asking her to sit for us in the future. Thank you, Shavedra!
Brigette is awesome. She’s helped us out with our near senior, somewhat particular spaniel and way too energetic kitten a couple of times now. We come back and they’re tired (in a good way) and happy. We trust her in our home and with our critters. Will definitely use Brigette going forward.
Gabriela has built a great relationship with my two dogs. They totally enjoy her and are excited to see her every time. Gabriela is the only one I have been able to trust with my pets since I’ve moved them here. Her availability is always convenient and she always gives great updates during the day. We are so appreciative her services.
Our expectations were well exceeded by Mary’s excellent communication and her adherence to our agreed schedules. We hadn’t left our pup for an extended period before and was grateful to Mary for her care. We would definitely consider hiring Mary again if she was available! We are particularly pleased when our dog’s pet sitter treats her almost as well as we do with conversation and pets.
Lohan did an amazing job taking care of Tracy and Lola! He stepped in last minute and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. He exceeded my expectations, was kind, dependable, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely book his services again the next time I need someone to care for my pets. Highly recommend!
She is a great pet sitter ! 😊 . She’s not just a sitter that sits around and watches your pet. She actually plays with them and loves them like they’re her own. I loved the pictures that she sends and she’s a very great communicator. ! Will be looking forward to booking her again

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Lake Ridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Ridge. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
