“Annamaria was great! My Dog was happy as can be and I know he received a lot of attention as she provided photos of him walking, eating, playing, etc., etc. I would absolutely book Annamaria again and I am sure we will in the future! Thank you for making my dog’s experience better than expected! We were happy to know he was in good hands.”
“Richard did an amazing job! He took our girl for walks and played ball with her. Kept us up to date with photos everyday. Watered our plants. And we came back to a clean house. Highly recommend.”
“Genevieve was absolutely fantastic! I am always worried about leaving Pepper because she doesn’t like new people initially but she seemed to warm up to Genevieve very well. Genevieve was patient, friendly, and accommodating to any needs I had. She sent the cutest pictures and “pupdates” often to keep me in the loop. Since it was Christmas, she also opened gifts with Pepper on that day and sent fun videos. She took great care of our house as well. Cleaned up after herself and went over and beyond doing laundry as well. I would definitely recommend Genevieve to anyone who is looking for a reliable sitter for their fur babies. We will be using her again soon! Thanks for everything!”
“Dani stayed at our home over the weekend to watch our dog Moby and did an amazing job! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. Moby was happy and well cared for when we got back, and the house was just as we left it. We’d definitely book Dani again - highly recommend!”
“Tess is great! My two dogs clearly were loved by the look from all the pictures she sent me. The house is as clean as I left it and she communicated the whole time I was gone. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Emma is amazing! She took excellent care of our two little dogs when we were out of town for a few nights. Emma spent the night with them in our home and kept us updated with great photos of them. When we returned home Thatcher and Harry weren’t the least bit stressed. We will absolutely use Emma again!”
“Gary was fantastic! He took great care of our boy and our home was just as we left it. He was also flexible with our travel plans. We will definitely book again”
“Allison watched my two Australian shepherds for a short weekend getaway and she was great! She sent a few photo and video updates and it was very obvious the dogs had a ton of fun playing and cuddling with her. She was also very responsive. Will for sure book with her again!”
“Larry took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated his help and would be happy to book with him again in the future.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of animals mostly my whole life. I grew up on a farm and raised sheep in 4-h when I was young. My family always had dogs and cats. I currently have a 5 year old English Shepard pup named Frankie. Her favorite thing in the world are walks! I’m currently a stay at home dad looking to get back out into the pet world as my two little guys are in school. My schedule is open during the weekdays from morning until late afternoons. I have a fully fenced in yard with a pup that loves playing with other furry friends. I’m able to do drop in visits and walks for clients furry friends as well!
“Can’t say enough great things about Nicole! She takes such good care of my senior pup. It’s never easy leaving a 16 year old dog, but Nicole puts me at ease with her reliability and frequent communication.”
“Nathalie is truly amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and we were so lucky to find her right away. She cared for our 3-year-old dog and 11-year-old cat as if they were her own. Throughout the stay, she sent us daily photo updates along with detailed notes, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a spotless house, and she even washed and remade our bed so we had fresh sheets waiting for us—a thoughtful touch that went above and beyond. On top of that, her sweet dog Vern was the perfect playmate for ours, which was such a wonderful bonus. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and I’ve already shared her info with my family. Highly, highly recommend Nathalie!”
“Will did an amazing job with our puppy Reesey and kitty Lindy! He was great about keeping us updated on how they were doing and sent tons of pics! We left for the weekend and trusted him to stay at our house, would do it again if needed!”
“Sam was very proactive in taking care of our pups and house while we were away. He was also tremendously patient with our one dog who takes a good bit of time to warm up to new people. He lect the house tidy and from the pictures it was clear the dogs enjoyed their time with him! We are recommending him to our friends! Thanks again 😊”
“We accidentally sent Dee to the wrong house at first! But she was understanding and adapted. In the end was super communicative, sent tons of pics and videos, and we are already booked with her again. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Ridge
Lydia watched our fur babies from 10/31 to 11/9. She took amazing care of both our girls and our home. I would re-book her again in an instant! She was super communicative and I was able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing the girls were in such good hands.
Suzanne is wonderful!! She took such great care of my precious pups and my home for 3 nights. I especially appreciated how she expertly cared for my anxious senior chihuahua (tummy and mobility issues). I received detailed updates with photos and videos so I felt very at ease while I was away. Suzanne is very professional and kind! I will definitely rebook in the future.
I highly recommend Kylie for pet and house sitting. She recently watched our dog and cat for the weekend and exceeded our expectations. Kylie is an excellent communicator, highly dependable, and respectful of our home, leaving it perfectly clean. We will definitely hire her again.
This was our first time using a Rover sitter, and I feel so lucky that we found Meredith! She watched our dog Duke while we were away getting married. She was so patient and was willing to work with us leading up to the house sitting stay. She took Duke on weekly walks to ensure he was comfortable with her. We really appreciate her taking the time to make sure we were all comfortable. Duke is usually very nervous meeting new people, but he seemed to instantly warm up her to calm and friendly personality. Which was such a relief to us! During the stay she provided regular updates on how Duke was doing, and brought in packages, and even cleaned up after a shelf fell in our basement. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to take care of our boy and keep our minds at ease while we enjoyed our wedding weekend. We’ll definitely book with Meredith in the future!
Allison watched my two Australian shepherds for a short weekend getaway and she was great! She sent a few photo and video updates and it was very obvious the dogs had a ton of fun playing and cuddling with her. She was also very responsive. Will for sure book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pleasant Ridge is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 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.

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 Pleasant 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 Pleasant 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 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!
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.

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.
