Lydia took great care of my GSD while I was out of town for the weekend! He can be weary of people he doesn’t know but really liked her from the first time they met. Sent good pictures and nice updates, recommend her for any of your fur baby care needs!

Jay was very easy to schedule with. He genuinely listened to my insane list of things for my cat, spent time playing with him, and made sure any accidents were cleaned up. As someone who has a cat with medical issues, I truly felt like my worries were attended to. I'm sure Blanket had a good time too!

Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!

About: I have grown up loving and caring for dogs of my own as well as others. I have always been the person people always call when they have some kind of animal emergency. I absolutely love animals and know a lot about taking care of them and many different types. They will get lots of attention and quality care from me. I will spoil your baby as much as you will let me! I can administer any medication necessary. My dog takes pain meds twice a day so we are already on a medication routine. I have a flexible schedule so I can meet most needs. I keep in contact with you asap if there are any changes that are needed I live in a charming small house in the corner of Ferndale and a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. I have a fully fenced in backyard that is about 97% privacy fence. There’s one little corner where my dog can talk to the dog in back through a chain-link fence. Lots of shade and grass

About: Animals have always been one of my greatest passions and being able to work with them is a dream come true. I personally have owned and taken care of dogs, tropical and freshwater fish, small pets, and cats. I’ve also spent time volunteering at animal shelters and have experience in house-sitting and pet-sitting locally. I’m currently enrolled in evening cosmetology classes 5-10pm Mon-Thurs and work Saturday mornings 8-3. Otherwise I’m mostly a homebody who enjoys spending time with my pets and outside. I have a couple of my own pets so I’d rather not keep other pets at my place for extended periods of time (unless they’re fully up to date on vaccines, shots, and behavioral training), but I’m happy to assist in anyway I can at your house. I can do basic cleaning and of course pet care such as walking, watering, feeding, taking outside, playing, etc.. I can lock the house and leave the key in a predetermined location if needed. I’m happy to follow any house rules, special instructions, and anything extra needed for the pets, including medications or continuing ongoing training.

About: I have 1 cat at home and my partner has 1 dog who basically acts like a cat, so I am looking for an excuse to be around dogs (preferably <25 lbs) who may need some company. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for years (both for walks and overnight stays) and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I have a full-time hybrid position that has me at home on Mondays and Fridays with some flexibility from Tuesday - Thursday. On days when I am in the office, I will be home before 4:30pm for any afternoon feeding times. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. I have a large unfenced yard and live less than a block away from a dedicated dog park. I have one small dog (15 lbs) and one cat who are happy to keep your pet company or can be kept in a different part of the house depending on your needs.

About: If you ask my family who the designated pet sitter is, they'll all point to me! I'm the go-to person they trust to care for their furry family members whenever they're traveling or away for extended periods. From energetic new puppies who need patience, structure, and lots of playtime to senior dogs who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication reminders, I've had the privilege of caring for pets through every stage of life. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, sticking to feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I provide. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I make it a priority to build trust with both you and your dog. I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love until you're home again. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I'm the go-to pet sitter for my family and am always happy to care for their dogs and cats whenever they travel or need an extra hand. I also spend time each week caring for my sister's dog, so walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets plenty of love are already built into my schedule. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I have the flexibility and availability to provide reliable, attentive care. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive the time, attention, and affection they deserve while you're away. When caring for your pet in your home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and any special preferences or routines your pet is used to. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, companionship, and exercise based on their personality and energy level. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I'll provide the care and interaction that helps them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I'll also treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and tidy and ensuring your pet has a safe environment at all times. To give you peace of mind, I'll send regular updates with photos and messages so you can see how your furry family member is doing. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet who has been cared for as if they were my own.

About: I’m an animal lover through and through! Tragically, my landlord doesn’t allow pets, so I get my fill of snuggles and belly rubs through pet sitting and volunteering at animal shelters. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and reliable to care for your pet, and it’s a responsibility I take seriously. I especially enjoy working with anxious pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve yet to meet a cat or dog I couldn’t eventually win over. High-energy zoomers, cuddle bugs, divas- I love them all! I have open availability through the end of August before I begin graduate school. Send me a message and let’s chat about how I can give your pet the care and attention they deserve! I have open availability through the end of August, after which I start grad school. After that I’ll be available most Tuesday’s, Thursday’s, and weekends ☺️ I treat clients’ homes with the utmost respect and follow all house rules. It’s a privilege to care for your furry babies and a responsibility that I take very seriously.

Kat goes above and beyond for our dogs while my partner and I are working long hours! She gives them treats, brings extra toys for them to play with, and generally just gives them a ton of love while she’s visiting. In the pictures she takes, you can see how happy our dogs are when they are being cared for by her. Her schedule is really flexible and she has saved us a couple of times when we’ve had to ask for her help fairly last minute. I’m so glad we found her for our senior pups!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Pleasant Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Pleasant Ridge on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 3,704 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pleasant Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Pleasant 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.

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 Pleasant 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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 Pleasant Ridge 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 Pleasant Ridge. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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.
