“Nate watched my 2 dogs in my apartment for me. He swung by beforehand to do a meet and greet. I liked him a lot and it seems like he took good care of my girls. I received photos and updates during his stay. I felt comfortable having Nate watch them and will definitely use their services again! Thank you.”

About: i sometimes care more for my cats than I do for myself. I am hyper vigilant and meticulous on care for animals. I go out of my way to make sure that the well being is first and foremost and of course the play time is an added super bonus. I do not work right now so I have the free time to help others with their animal babies. I would love to help you! I take care of anything that needs to be done. Whether It is playing, feeding, brushing, giving meds, or just being near them so they feel safe and comfortable. Pets provide love for us so we need to do the same for them.

She also tidied up before we got back which relieved a lot of stress! We would definitely recommend Jordan for pet and house sitting!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner for most of my life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of feeling secure. I take time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether they enjoy gentle walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I will provide the dependable and attentive care they need. After recently saying goodbye to my beloved dog of 12 years, I am not quite ready to welcome another puppy of my own. Caring for other people’s pets has become an especially meaningful way for me to continue sharing my love for animals. I understand how deeply pets are cherished, and I will care for yours with the same tenderness and attention I would want for my own. Since I work from home, I’m available any day of the week and have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, companionship, and affection they deserve. I believe every pet is unique, so I take the time to earn their trust, follow their routine, and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow your care instructions carefully, pay attention to each pet’s unique personality, and provide lots of love, patience, and companionship. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send regular updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

About: I’ve been a dog lover, owner and house sitter for 12 years. Your home and pets will always have my full attention, love and respect! I consider myself very fortunate to run my own small business and have the flexibility to work from my laptop. Furry friends and warm homes are an ideal environment for me to lightly work, and making sure your pets and home are loved, and safe while you are away. I treat pets and clients homes as if they were my own. Being a bit OCD, I pride myself in my ability to give animals the attention they need, and leaving clients homes in better conditions than I found them in!

“Joe was great! My dog took to him very quickly at the meet and greet but after a last minute change of plans to bring her, he was able to pivot and care for my cats instead. I really appreciated his flexibility and when I returned I realized he was also wonderful w/ cats! I didn’t get any cattitude from them at all. I received pics and updates regularly and came home to a clean happy house. I’d use him again in a heartbeat.”

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I love all creatures and will pamper your pup! I know how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for while their owners are away and will give your dog all the love and attention it needs! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me plenty of time to spend taking care of your pet. When I do work, it's only for a few hours at a time, so I can stick with your dog's routine for eating and walking and such. I have a fenced yard with a bit of grass and one small senior dog who gets along with dogs and cats. I don't mind dogs on the couch and we have a cute park down the road for walks and outside play time.

About: My hours are 8 am to 6 pm. If you really care for your pet, give them the BEST. I am not a boarding kennel. I take only SEVERAL PETS at any given time so that they can receive my FULL PERSONAL ATTENTION. I WORK FROM HOME SO AM ALWAYS AVAILABLE. If this is the type of attention you feel your special pets deserve, call me. Leaving the area for a vacation or visiting beautiful Palm Springs, why not let your favorite pet enjoy a little rest and relaxation in the desert? Your loving friend will receive VIP care and attention 24/7 in my beautifully landscaped yard enclosed by an 8 foot brick wall. They will have access to two separate yards through two doggy doors. Space is limited so that your dog receives personal attention. Any special feeding habits, veterinarian contacts and vaccinations are requested. I look forward to talking and meeting with both you and your pets. If possible, a "Meet and Greet would be recommended to acclimate your pets to my environment, helping them to better adjust to something new in their schedule. I work at home so have plenty of time and attention to play with your fur babies, I am available for boarding seven days a week. I have a high brick walled yard. My environment is very safe and secure and over 15 years have never had a pet escape. I can always crate your dog if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Marc! Growing up in Southern California, I’ve always had a deep connection with the outdoors and animals. I have years of experience caring for pets, from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs. I understand that each pet has unique needs and personalities, and I tailor my care to make sure they feel loved and comfortable. What Sets Me Apart: • Experience with All Ages: Whether it’s a playful pup needing extra exercise and training or a senior dog requiring gentle care, I have the skills and patience to cater to their specific needs. • Outdoor Enthusiast: I love surfing, snowboarding, and golfing, and I’m excited to share my passion for the outdoors with your furry friend. Expect plenty of engaging and stimulating walks! • Reliable and Trustworthy: Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide consistent, reliable care, ensuring your pet always feels secure and well-loved. • Training Skills: I have experience with basic obedience training, helping to reinforce good behaviors and make walks enjoyable for both your pet and you. • Special Needs Care: From administering medication to providing extra attention and comfort, I am well-versed in caring for pets with special requirements. Why Choose Me? I know how important your pet is to you, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a fun, safe, and enriching experience that leaves tails wagging and owners at ease. Let’s make your dog’s day a great one! See you soon! Marc Pet care is a central part of my daily and weekly routine, ensuring that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Here’s how I incorporate pet care into my schedule: Daily Routine: • Morning: I start the day with refreshing morning walks or play sessions, ensuring pets get their exercise and potty breaks early. I also take care of feeding and any necessary grooming tasks. • Midday: I provide midday check-ins for pets needing extra attention, including bathroom breaks, playtime, or a quick walk. • Afternoon: Afternoon activities often include longer walks, interactive play, and training sessions tailored to each pet’s needs. • Evening: Evenings are for winding down with relaxed walks, feeding, and ensuring pets are comfortable and ready for a restful night. Weekly Routine: • Weekdays: I maintain a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding, and play sessions. For pets staying with me, I ensure they have a stable environment and plenty of love and attention. • Weekends: Weekends offer more flexibility for longer adventures, like hikes or beach outings, providing extra enrichment and exercise for the pets in my care. By integrating pet care seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, I ensure that every pet enjoys a balanced, happy, and fulfilling experience. When caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. **Safety:** I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed and free from hazards. In my home, I provide secure, comfortable areas for pets to rest and play. During visits to clients’ homes, I carefully follow any specific safety instructions provided, such as securing gates or monitoring interactions with other pets. **Trust:** Building a strong bond with both pets and their owners is essential. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and routines, providing consistent, loving care that pets can rely on. Clear communication with owners ensures that everyone feels confident and informed. **Environment:** I create a calm, stimulating environment tailored to each pet. This includes regular exercise, mental stimulation through play and training, and plenty of affection. Whether at my home or the client’s, pets enjoy a warm, welcoming atmosphere where they feel secure and happy. By focusing on these core principles, I provide exceptional care that ensures pets are safe, well-cared for, and thriving in their environment.

About: I’ve always felt drawn to animals, even as a toddler, and I’m grateful they have always been in my life one way or another. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, parrots, bunnies and I’m 200% comfortable around all types of animals, including yours! Most of my happiest memories of a child include being around dogs and I have continued to be involved in their care in professional as well as volunteer-based ways. I consistently donate my time to rescues by fostering them, setting up adoption events and volunteering at shelters. I’m also the kind of person who will stop to say hello to a dog walking past me in the street. I adopted my own five-year old rescue, Pippin, who LOVES other pups and is happy to keep them company with me when boarding a dog in our home. I’m an active individual…exercise is very important to me—both for myself and Pippin, and I am a great match for high-energy dogs. At a bare minimum (unless otherwise specified by the owner), I make sure we walk for at least an hour and if your pup needs more exercise, I am more than capable of exercising for multiple hours! I go above and beyond with communication by sending regular photo, video and text updates in real time so you know your pup is healthy, happy and secure when in my care. I also make sure I understand your pup’s usual schedule and then do my best to stick to their regular feeding times, activity times (and level) and play their favorite games. Does your pup like hiking? Great, because I do too! In short, I get to know my clients’ dogs’ favorite things to do and then make sure our time together is a healthy mix of the activities they enjoy. It can be difficult for a pup to trust a new person right off the bat so I take the time to earn their trust through belly rubs, ear scratches, cuddles and healthy treats. I have over two decades of experience caring for all types of breeds, temperaments and sizes, and I do whatever it takes to understand their quirks and then tailor my care to their specific needs. I work as a freelance copywriter but besides that my schedule is wide open for pet care during the evenings and on weekends. I have a student mindset and am always interested in learning as much as I can to provide your pup with the best care possible. Send me a message, I can’t wait to meet you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ribbonwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 738 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ribbonwood. 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 Ribbonwood 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 Ribbonwood 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 Ribbonwood 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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.
