“Halle took such great of our dogs! She kept in touch with texts and photos multiple times a day. My husband and I felt so relaxed knowing our doggos were well taken care of. When we got home the dogs looked great and were so happy to see us; we knew we left them in good hands ( no cold shoulder).”

About: Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to care for several dogs and a cat with a variety of personalities and needs. I’ve cared for a Pitbull mix, Chihuahua, Australian Shepherd, a Terrier mix, and a Maine Coon cat. I’ve also been a pet parent to a Cane Corso/Lab mix, so I’m very comfortable around larger breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and proper care. I’m comfortable giving medications and following specific care routines. I’ve provided medication for pets as well as my own, so I understand how important it is to be reliable and attentive when it comes to health needs. I truly love animals and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away — treating them with the same attention and kindness I’d want for my own I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for drop-ins, walks, pet care, and overnight stays. On weekdays, I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but I am available for early morning visits between 6 AM–7:30 AM for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and walks, as well as evening care from 5:30 PM -8:30 PM I teach yoga on Mondays and Thursdays, so my availability on those days is limited. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s routine and find a schedule that works best. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, personality, and individual needs, including feeding routines, walks, medication, and any special instructions. I understand that pets can feel stressed when their people are away, so I provide a calm, patient presence and plenty of attention while respecting their home and environment. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have always had/cared for many dogs throughout my life and I am currently the proud momma of a successfully trained beagle that I love so much! I am also Red Cross Cat and Dog first aid/CPR certified! Aside from always being surrounded by pups, I have dog-sat for multiple clients of various breeds, sizes, and age. I have reliable transportation and exceptional time management and prioritization skills to balance any dog caring needs including but not limited to walking, feeding, play-time, etc. I hold a full time job that is very close to home with a quick commute. I have time in the mornings before work anytime before 8am and after work at 5 to care and play with your pups! If needed, I can also do a quick in home visit on lunch breaks Monday - Friday! On weekends I have full availability. I have a fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly and playful beagle babe! Along with taking my own dog on multiple walks a day, my house is completely puppy proofed, stocked with lots of treats, belly rubs and love! While I do have a full time job close to home-my fiancé works from home full time so he will be here all day with the fur babes to let out for potty breaks and whatever else they may need! *I also work a hybrid schedule so I will be home 2-3x a week* We have a large crate so you don’t need to bring your own and a few gently used beds-although we do encourage to bring yours so it smells like home! I always make sure I am respectful of your space and follow every instruction given to me very carefully while doing drop in visits. Additionally, I will not just come in and do a drop in visit, but I will talk and snuggle with your pet as I would my own. Every dog I take care of I make sure to get to know them and their needs while gaining their trust.

About: Hello! I am an animal lover who has multiple years of care experience. I have a puppy so I am aware of the special care needs they may have. I also specialize in cats. I am flexible when it comes to cancellations and care times. I work second shift so I am able to provide care in the mornings or late at night. Late night care does not bother me, as I am a night owl! I am able to board, however I would prefer cats or small dogs. In my spare time I love to exercise, so I would love to take your pup on a long walk! I love animals, so rest assured your friend will be in loving, caring hands when you are away! I work overnights, so I am able to provide care in the mornings, during the day, and in evenings. I am flexible when I need to be! I reside in an apartment and have a large, unfenced yard. Perfect for supervised playtime! I have 2 friendly cats that would love to keep your pet company.

“Alicia was great! I could tell from the pictures that our pups felt comfortable and at ease with her. When we came home, the dogs and cats all were happy to see us and were calm. I could tell she took excellent care of them because they were all happy and relaxed when we got home(and three of them have anxiety). Our house was clean and everything how we left it. 100% recommend to anyone looking for high quality care! Will definitely call her again for future pet sitting needs.”

About: I am a long time animal lover and will love your pets as my own! I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs my whole life. I currently have two large dogs of my own, Maya and Geno. We enjoy long walks, runs, or just relaxing on the couch. We even occasionally go roller blading together! My schedule is very open specifically in the evenings and weekends but I am flexible and willing to work around your specific needs. I am open to any size dog, large or small! I also have experience administering medication and providing basic bathing if needed. I am very much looking forward to helping take care of your pets! Any further questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. I do work full time during the week so availability may be limited to evenings on weekdays depending on my schedule. Please reach out for specifics. I have lots of flexibility on weekends. I am very active with my own pets and will plan to do the same with yours should they need exercise. I am flexible with any accommodations.

About: Growing up, we always had multiple dogs that were my responsibility to care for, and I loved every moment of it! I have spent the last several years helping my family and friends with watching, caring for, and walking their dogs when need - I'm the go-to person for them because they know their fury friends are in good hands with me! I have two cats of my own (one male and one female - both spayed/neutered), but I do not have any dogs of my own. I work full time - typically Monday-Friday away from home from 8:30amuntil between 3-5:30pm. Occasionally I work a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday, but this is the typical. If your home is near my work, I usually am available to do walks or check-ins on my lunchbreak. I have a small, non-fenced, yard that works well for quick outside potty breaks but live in an area that is good for dog walks. I have a decent sized home, so any size dog would feel comfortable playing inside. All pets are welcome on the couch - especially for cuddle time - and I have a spare bedroom where they would be welcome in the bed. I have space to hold dog crates if your dog is more comfortable in their own space for sleep.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Ridgeville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in North Ridgeville on Rover is $39.96 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 1,006 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Ridgeville. 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 North Ridgeville 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 North Ridgeville 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 North Ridgeville 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.

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

  • 99% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
