“Alexyss was an amazing sitter for my three cats! She was very thorough and diligent in caring for them. The kittens got a chance to play and she even made sure my older cat got food! I would readily use Alexyss again and happily recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi, I'm Ryan! I'm a lifelong animal lover, and I share my home with my dog Jax, who is the heart of everything I do. I got into pet sitting because caring for animals isn't just my work — it's my passion. I'm pet CPR and first aid certified, so your pets are in safe, trained hands whether we're out on a walk, stopping by for a drop-in visit, or settling in for a cozy stay. I have reliable daytime availability and I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Every pet gets treated like family — with patience, playtime, and plenty of love. I can't wait to meet your furry family members! Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule revolves around your pets! I'm available seven days a week from 8:30 AM to 5 PM for walks, drop-in visits, day care, boarding, and house sitting. I plan my day around each pet's routine — meals, walks, playtime, and rest — and I keep you updated with photos and messages throughout. Because pet care is my livelihood, you can count on consistent, reliable availability and quick responses to your messages. Your pet's safety and comfort come first, always. I'm pet CPR and first aid certified and trained to handle emergencies calmly. In my home, dogs get a secure, pet-friendly environment with structured routines, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection — plus my dog Jax as a friendly companion (with slow, supervised introductions for boarders). In your home, I follow your pet's routine exactly as you leave it: feeding schedules, medications, house rules, and favorite spots. I use secure leashing and harness checks on every walk, keep a close eye on dogs during play, and send regular photo updates so you're never wondering how your pet is doing.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since my early 20s. I began fostering dogs in my early 30s and even had some foster failures. I have always been that friend, neighbor, stranger that will stop and help and animal in need or just stop the world to say hi to a four legged love ! I have full open availability! I am a teacher and am home during the summer so I can meet most needs. I am also willing to travel to help a pup in need. I prefer to board at home and I have two small pups at home, Eli and Gidget. Eli is a 12 year old Havanese and Gidget is a 2 year old Brug. They are sweet and get along with all animals and people.

About: We have been dog sitting for the last 5 years for our closest friends and family and now want to open our home to your dog. We recently relocated and have a completely fenced in yard and are located at the top of a quiet cul de sac. We aim to make your special pet our beloved fur baby for the time you need to be away. We have two children who are 15 and 12 and love all animals and want to give you complete peace of mind that your dog will be the king/queen of our castle while you are away! I work from home most days. When I do have to report to my office, I am never out for more than 2-3 hours and my office is only 5 minutes away. We ensure that your dogs will get plenty of run time in the back yard or great walks in our quiet neighborhood. We know how special your pups are to you and we love to provide doggy updates or even special face times with our pet owners. We have a completely fenced back yard and our grass is not treated with any chemicals or pesticides. Inside our home, we allow your dog to be as comfortable as possible and treat them like they are our family pet for the time they are with us. There are no other pets inside our home aside from a bearded dragon in an enclosed tank and we want to ensure you have access to your pet via text or face time while you are away!

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two Sphynx (hairless) cats and a Pomeranian, and I absolutely love spending time with animals. I’m looking to make some extra income so I can continue being a stay-at-home mom, and I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily fit pet care into my day. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feedings, or just keeping your pet company, I’m happy to work around their routine and give them the attention they deserve. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you leave. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and make sure they get plenty of attention and care.

My friends, family, coworkers and neighbors have all trusted me to care for their furbabies. I know how much mine mean to me, and I promise to treat yours as my own! I am currently working full-time as a teacher so weekdays have to be scheduled in advance after 5PM. Will gladly schedule weekend walks and drop-ins! I care for others’ fur babies as if they were my own! I am happy to accommodate whatever food, medication, or exercise needs they may have!

About: I treat my clients as if I would my own family. And I confidently say my repeat clients do the same for me. I am always someone they can reach out to and depend on when they are traveling outside of the home and need my help. I grew up with a dog and cats and love most all animals. I used to be a veterinary assistant for a few years before covid, and I have good friends who work in veterinary medicine as doctors! I love to learn as much as I can in that field as well, and utilize these resources if absolutely necessary when providing home care. I am available to care, love, and keep your animals safe when I am available to - The sooner you book me for house sittings- all the better. I kindly ask for at least a week or two notice so I can coordinate travel and care in between other work and life obligations. I will regularly take the animals outside, give them treats, cuddle on the couch together (if they’re allowed on furniture) and feed them as needed, just as if you would if you were home to care for them I am happy to provide as much care and service to you and your pets as often as you need it, and whenever I am physically able to be there to care for them for you! For house sittings, I give the the houses with fenced in backyards both your pets and myself to stay outdoors with one another for a longer period of time in a safer environment to get to know one another, especially during first time visits. I love to lounge around the house and get to know your fur babies, especially during my first few times of interacting with them, just to establish care and trust during this time.

About: I’m 33 years old and originally from Austria, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Growing up around pets taught me how important patience, consistency, and affection are in their care. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I make sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make sure to set aside dedicated time for walks, feeding, and play. I stay organized and flexible to meet each pet’s needs consistently. In my client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they’re fed, exercised, given fresh water, and receive plenty of attention, while keeping their space clean and tidy.

We had Jaylene visit our 2 dogs, let them out, feed them dinner and hang out with them while we were at a wedding. She did a great job with them, especially our dog who takes a long time to get accustomed to strangers. We got great updates and pictures, which provided peace of mind while we were out. Thank you!!

Emily was absolutely amazing. We had a very unusual situation where we lost power the night before leaving for vacation, which meant we could not leave Tucker at home as planned. Emily was incredibly understanding and stayed available in case the power came back on and we were able to leave. When the power was finally restored, she refunded us for the days she did not need to come, even though she did not have to. We had specifically asked her to remain available during that time, so we truly appreciated her honesty, flexibility, and understanding. Once we were able to leave for our vacation, Emily was wonderful with Tucker. She took him on really nice, long walks, communicated with us consistently, and did everything she could to accommodate our situation. You can often tell what someone is really like when nobody is around. We have cameras inside our home, and while I was not sitting there watching every moment, I would occasionally check in to make sure everything was going well. Every time I checked, Emily was incredibly sweet, patient, and attentive with Tucker. You can absolutely tell that Emily is a true dog person. She treats the dogs she watches like they are her own, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We would not hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, honest, caring, and genuinely great with dogs.

It was a pleasure to have Rachel watch our dog over Christmas vacation. She gave our pup lots of snuggles and love, and even though we had a snowstorm while we were away she was still willing to come. (We were able to get a neighbor which was wonderful, so hopefully she got to stay home and snuggle up!) We will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Ledgewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Ledgewood is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $57 per visit. 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 8,137 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ledgewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Ledgewood 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!

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Ledgewood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ledgewood. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
