“Richard is amazing!! I felt so comfortable leaving him with Charlie while we traveled for Christmas. He goes the extra mile and we cannot wait to ask him back!”
“Lydia was excellent with Bruce. She was kind and attentive and clearly knows a lot about dogs in terms of behavior and temperament. I felt very comfortable leaving Bruce with her for the evening and based on the photo updates, it’s clear he had a great time as well! Thank you, Lydia.”
“Thank you so much for staying with Mae and Stewart while we were away! It was great getting the daily pictures knowing they were happy and cared for. Sorry, I had no idea the work packages would be so many and appreciate you brought them inside! We will definitely be using you again in the future!”
“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.”
“We are so thrilled to have found Kenna to watch our dogs. She was very communicative and took great care of our dogs. We would absolutely recommend her and also would hire her again to stay at our home.”
“Lonie watched our two dogs while we were briefly out of town and WOW she did amazing! The house was spotless, the dogs were happy and even had their nails trimmed! She was easy to communicate with, asked great questions and was very thoughtful - even asking which time zone we’d be traveling to so her updates didn’t disturb us during late/early hours. I’d absolutely recommend her.”
“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.”
“Sophia was very flexible with a last minute sitting request for two dogs. She visited the home 3 times per day, walked the dogs 1-2 times per day, fed, and administered medications. The home was kept in the condition it was left in. The dogs were very comfortable and in good spirits after a 3 day sitting. Sophia had good communication and demeanor. She left check in messages and photos with every visit. Would definitely book with Sophia 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.”
“Amy was great, didn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure the pets were taken care of properly, and made sure to give them treats and cuddles. My cat and dog seemed very happy. Will definitely be booking again.”
“Taylor was wonderful with our two dogs! Caring for one who is a deaf counter-surfer and another a recent rescue still learning the ropes is no easy task and Taylor handled it excellently. When a chewing issue arose, she contacted me right away and secured the items out of reach. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were safe in our home with such a responsible carer. To top it off, we were welcomed back to a clean home and freshly washed bedsheets! Truly five-star service. Will definitely book again.”
“Jennifer was great! She watched my three quirky pitty babies over the 4th of July weekend. Communication was great, lots of pictures and all the puppies looked to be having fun :) I would definitely book again and recommend to friends.”
“Laura was awesome! I didn't win my golf tournament today, but at least I only had one thing to blame: my golf game. Knowing Bravo was safe and happy made the day a whole lot less stressful. Bravo can be a bit particular about his people, and he gave Laura his stamp of approval almost immediately. Either she's a natural with dogs, or he was hypnotized by the red hair. I'm still investigating. She kept me updated, took great care of him, and let me enjoy my round without wondering if my dog was plotting his escape or teaching the neighborhood squirrels bad habits. If you're looking for someone to watch your dog, Laura is fantastic. Five stars from me and two paws up from Bravo.”
“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!”
“From the moment I met Grace I just had a feeling that Milllie would be well taken care of! The second she walked through the door her focus of attention was on Millie. I needed her on very short notice and she was there for me. I trusted her completely with Millie and would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
“Mark is a great Dog Sitter and Dog Walker! Gabriel is a big Rottweiler and it can be difficult for him to warm up to new people. Mark is a professional and was able to get Gabriel to warm up to him right away! Thanks Mark!”
“Jordyn took great care of our cats! She is super sweet and dependable. She went above and beyond during her stay with us- even during a three day power outage in the middle of summer.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Rhiannon was terrific! She cared for our dogs and home with great care and wonderful communication. Meant the world to us to receive regular updates with happy dog photos. She was flexible and quick to respond. Great experience!”

Lonie stayed at our home for the past 5 nights taking care of our dogs. We got daily updates on our dogs, she was organized and attentive and I felt very relaxed during our trip knowing our dogs were in good hands. We came home to a clean house and dogs that were fluffy and soft from all the brushing and care they got. We will absolutely use Lonie again!
Will took excellent care of my cat and home. He is a great communicator and I could tell he spent extra time playing with my cat as he was super chill. Will’s consideration for the details of my pet and home was noteworthy. His updates were exactly what I needed to relax away from home and my routine driven kitty 🐈⬛
Sophia was very flexible with a last minute sitting request for two dogs. She visited the home 3 times per day, walked the dogs 1-2 times per day, fed, and administered medications. The home was kept in the condition it was left in. The dogs were very comfortable and in good spirits after a 3 day sitting. Sophia had good communication and demeanor. She left check in messages and photos with every visit. Would definitely book with Sophia again.
Omg Emily was so great!!! Her communication was literally 10/10 and she sent me so many pictures and videos and updates of my dogs while she house+dog sat for me for 3 days. She even left my house cleaner than how she found it! As someone who is brand new to the area, I was so nervous to leave my dogs and house to someone new but Emily is literally exactly who you want. She asked so many good and thorough questions before and during her stay. I just can't say enough good things about her. I'll 100% be requesting her to take care of my babies again bc I already know I'll have total peace of mind having her take care of them :)
Solea and Dom took amazing care of our two dogs! Our husky can be a handful because of his temperament but they handled him like champs! We had no worries that our dogs were in good hands. They also cleaned the house at the end of their stay and threw the bedding into the wash. We will be using them again in the future!
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.
Aden was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we reached out he was responsive and communicative. During our trip Aden sent regular updates and pictures that gave us complete peace of mind. He handled unexpected visitors at our front door like a pro—even with our reactive dogs—and kept us informed the entire time, even when we weren’t checking our phones right away. On top of taking such great care of our pups, he left our home spotless and was an exceptionally respectful houseguest. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to Aden again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

FAQs for House Sitting - Pleasant Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pleasant Ridge on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,211 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pleasant Ridge. 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 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 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.

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.
