“Jessica was amazing. From the meet and greet on, our 80# male pitbull LOVED her! Most people shy away from Reggie, for good reason, he is not nice with new people. Jessica within a few minutes had Reggie's attention and he loved her. We got updates everyday with pictures, which put our minds at ease. We came home to a very happy and healthy boy. The house was immaculate, very hard to tell someone was living there 24/7 with our pup!! I HIGHLY recommend Jessica for house sitting/pet sitting. She will be hearing from us very soon!!”

About: Ever since I can remember, myself as well as my family have loved and enjoyed dogs and they have always been a part of our family. I got my first puppy when I was 12 years old. She was a rescue and I had her until I was 26 years old. Her name was Molly. We had many other dogs during that time. My sister's and I were who cared for them all. Although this is my first time running a business caring for dogs, I have taken care of dogs most of my life. Some people call themselves a "people person". I call myself a "dog person". I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs. Dogs have always loved being with me. I care for them as if they were a child of mine. As I always have said, the more I get to know people; the more I love dogs! I'm currently a student at home so, I am available to give your pet my undivided attention. I treat all animals as if they are my own, like family. I love to spend quality time with animals. I also have good hygiene. I believe this is important because we all know how dirty animals can be. I am gentle and loving.

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: My uncle used to own a boarding and grooming facility in Tucson, Arizona and I worked for him. This included feeding dogs and cats as well as cleaning litter boxes and kennels. I also administered medication’s. Since being in the Coachella Valley, I’ve also done pet/house sitting for a family that had four dogs and three cats & another family that had four dogs & a blind orange cat. I have one small and spunky multi poo that has to have three medications that she will not chew so I have to physically administer it with a feeding syringe. I have one cat now, but at one time I had five that were all rescues and lived out their old age with us. I work full time, but I’m able to request time off if I get to pet/house sit. I’m also available before & after work & on my days off. I will carefully follow all instructions for the pet & home I will sit for. Everything from dietary needs, medication and walking. I will even bathe your pet.

“Erica was amazing. We found her last minute when our faithful pet sitter was out of town, and she quickly stepped in to help. She came to our home, met little Missy, and took wonderful care of her. Erica kept us updated with photos and let us know how Missy was doing throughout the day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

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!

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.

“Kaylah was awesome with both our cat and dog. She was very attentative and had much concern about our cat not eating the first 24 hours. But, the situation resolved with Kaylah’s attempts to make the cat comfortable with her. 😃 She is the first to follow feeding instructions and found our home very clean. She is highly recommended that I’ve already booked her for our next trip.”

“Jennifer was great! Helped me out super last minute after another dog sitter cancelled on us 11pm the day before we left out of town! She was super quick to respond and found the time to meet Ryder beforehand. She even made sure to be back later that day when we were leaving just to calm our nerves about a new dog sitter. She communicates well and sent me a few pics / vids. It is always nerve wrecking as a pittie owner to leave him in new hands but I’m glad it worked out! Ryder was three weeks post surgery so she had to administer some medication and had no issues. This also meant we needed someone who would stay overnight in our home and share a bed with Ryder, all of which she did. I would use her again for sure next time I have an out of town situation!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Ribbonwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 753 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
