“Dominique was an amazing sitter and took such great care of my animals! She was attentive and kind and was even able to get my dog to be more active by running with him :) I will be using her again and highly recommend her for your furry babies!”
“Bronte did a great job watching my two dogs over night. She left everything in order at the house and the dogs really liked her from the moment she came through the door. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Sebastian did an excellent job housesitting Sophie and Maerwynn for 9 days. He communicated well throughout the stay, sending regular updates that gave us peace of mind. When Maerwynn wasn’t eating normally, he expressed concern right away, which helped us quickly resolve the situation. He was punctual, self-sufficient, and left our home clean and just as we had left it. I would gladly welcome him back in the future.”
“Elika was wonderful when she stayed overnight with my dog and cat. She arranged a first time meeting to make sure it was a good fit and followed up promptly to messages. I received a glowing review from a reference and felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care. Elika was conscientious and ensured my home was just as I left it. She even washed and changed the sheets after her stay. My dog was relaxed around her and my cat was particularly affectionate as Elika was preparing to leave, so I'm sure they both will be happy to see her again in the future.”
About: I have five years of experience providing dependable house and pet sitting for multiple families, including stays of up to three weeks at a time. I understand how important it is to know that both your pets and your home are in good hands while you’re away. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even a ferret! I provide loving, attentive care to every furry friend, while also taking care of household needs like watering plants, collecting mail, and keeping an eye on the home. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their families peace of mind. After a career as an engineer and geologist with the State of California, I’m happily retired and enjoying a flexible schedule. When I’m not fan-girling over rocks or spending time at the bowling alley, I’m probably fan-girling over someone’s furry friend! Retirement gives me plenty of time to provide attentive pet care, and I can accommodate most schedules, including daytime visits, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in your absence. I’ll treat them with the same patience, kindness, and care I would want for my own pets.
“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”
“Andi is an absolutely wonderful sitter and just all-around great person! Unfortunately our dog was pretty sick while we were away and she handled the whole situation with so much thought & care - as if it was her own dog that was unwell. She brought our sweet girl to the emergency vet and made sure we were updated with texts & photos the whole time we were away. Everything turned out OK with our dog, thanks to Andi's care and attention. We are so appreciative of her and hope to book her again the next time we are away.”
“Micki is one in a million! We were gone for 24 hours for a wedding out of town and she took beautiful care of our fur babies! We got pics and notes the whole time we were gone. She walked our doodle until he was exhausted which is perfect and our house looked better when we got back than when we left it! We absolutely love Micki and will book with her again! We trust her implicitly. ❤️”
“Marlee is a great pet sitter. I highly recommend her. My dog needed meds and special attention. Marlee gave her everything she needed. You can hire her with confidence that she will do a good job.”
“We could not have asked for a better house and pet sitter! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our home and pets were in such caring, capable hands. Communication was excellent — we received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that made us feel connected while away. We came home to a spotless house and happy animals. Natasha’s level of professionalism, reliability, kindness, and genuine care was truly exceptional. She really went above and beyond for us and managed everything so well. We would absolutely recommend Natasha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their home and pets. Five stars is not enough — she exceeded every expectation, and we will happily book her again in a heartbeat.”
About: Animals have been a cherished part of my life for over 30 years, and I understand that our pets are truly members of the family. Whether they’re playful, affectionate, independent, shy, or a little quirky, I believe every animal deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention. I have extensive personal experience caring for both dogs and cats and appreciate their unique personalities and needs. From energetic dogs who love attention and companionship to independent cats who prefer affection on their own terms, I enjoy building trust and helping animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a registered nurse, I bring an additional level of responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail to pet care. I’m experienced in following detailed care instructions, maintaining consistent routines, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or well-being. I understand how especially important this can be for senior pets or animals who need a little extra patience and attention. I also know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved companions in someone else’s care. My goal is to provide the same warmth, respect, and attentiveness I would want for my own pets, while keeping you connected through regular updates, photos, and open communication. Whether your furry family member needs companionship, playtime, reassurance, or simply a calm and caring presence, I would love the opportunity to get to know them! I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care around each animal’s individual needs. I enjoy peaceful environments, spending time with animals, and maintaining familiar routines. I believe consistency and companionship make a meaningful difference in helping pets feel comfortable while their families are away. I prefer to discuss each pet’s schedule, personality, and care requirements in advance so I can make sure we’re a wonderful fit. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and entrust them with a beloved family member. As a registered nurse, I’m accustomed to maintaining safe environments, following detailed instructions, and paying close attention to changes that may require additional care or communication. I respect each household’s routines, boundaries, and preferences. I take care to maintain a clean, peaceful environment, secure doors and gates, and follow feeding, medication, and household instructions carefully. I believe in open communication and will provide updates and photos throughout our time together. My goal is for you to return to a happy, comfortable pet and a home that has been treated with care and respect.
“First time to use Rover for in home dog sitting. Rissa stayed with our finicky dog for 10 days and quickly won his heart. Rissa was flexible and quickly solved the unexpected issues. Her dog care background benefitted our dog and she added to his toy collection with toys he greatly appreciated. Rissa also took wonderful care of our house and garden in the midst of a heatwave. I fully appreciate and recommend Rissa and Rover.com.”
“Karen cared for my two cats and one dog for almost a full week while I was away, and she was absolutely amazing! It’s always hard for me to leave my pets, but she made the entire experience so much easier and stress free. She sent regular updates and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets were happy and well cared for. My dog has some separation anxiety and my cats can be a bit shy at first, but they all warmed up to her quickly! It was clear she took the time to really connect with them and pay attention to their individual needs. I also really appreciated how respectful she was of my home, everything was clean and well taken care of when I returned. I’m so grateful I found Karen and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Andrea takes such good care of our dogs and our place- just got back from three nights away, received regular updates and photos and came home to relaxed dogs and the place looking great. Thank you Andrea, so much!”
“Nikki was great! My dog was clearly happy and in good spirits when I came home. She communicated well, and my house was just as I left it when I got back! Will definitely book with her when I go out of town next!”
“Emily is so great with our pitbull. She truly loves the dogs she's watching as her own, and takes good care of the house she is watching as well. This is the second time Emily has dog and house sat for us, and I'd highly recommend her for both!”
“Cecelia was professional, skilled, in tune, patient, loving, responsive, reliable and responsible. I highly recommend her! She took excellent care of my Frenchie who required extra attention to details and care. I was able to travel for work without worry. Cecelia kept me update, sent photos and gently made progress with Luna. My cat Aldo seemed comfortable and content upon my return.”
About: Hello! My name is Laima and I have 6+ years of experience taking care of pups of all sizes and energy levels. I love spending time with dogs, whether they are a super chill snuggler or a high-energy adventurer. I’ve worked with well-trained ones (I sometimes care for my friend’s Canine Companion breeder dog) as well as rowdy ones who need a bit more attention. I lived in a home for over four years with two small dogs owned by the homeowners— I regularly took them on long walks around the neighborhood or cared for them full-time when the owners traveled. Currently, I live with housemates who have a tiny, 17-year old dog, who I care for when they’re away, which includes administering heart and lung medication. I also have experience taking care of my friends’ and housemates’ cats and absolutely love cats!😻 While I don’t personally own pets, I do find a lot of joy in caring for other people’s critters. I currently live in Sebastopol and work remotely full-time, which gives me quite a lot of flexibility. I’m oftentimes available Monday through Friday, with occasional weekends as well. I’m also happy to house-sit for longer periods and will work with you to make sure your pet’s needs are met. I’m reliable, attentive, responsible, and genuinely care about making sure your pets feel comfortable and loved. Before I start, I’ll take the time to fully understand their routine, feeding schedule, playtime preferences, and any other special needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riccas Corner
Nyah is amazing!! She has stayed with our dogs 3 times and we will have her come stay with our two English Setters again. She sends cute pictures, communicates quickly and my dogs think of her as family. When we return our house is very clean, and the dogs are relaxed. I highly recommend Nyah as a dog and house sitter for your next trip.
Rissa was amazing! We were gone for 10 days, and she took care of our home and our fur baby girl, Harley. She gave us updates every day! Harley loved her, and she loved the dog walks and park visits they took. Risa kept our home tidy and got our mail and packages as they arrived; she also watered our plants. We will definitely keep using her services. I was very happy and at ease that our girl and home were in good hands while we were away. This was the first time we were away from our girl for that long.
Lilith is awesome. PepperJack and Skylar took to her right away. PepperJack particularly has "people" separation anxiety, and this was the first time in 5 years that we had an overnight outing without taking him. The picture Lilith sent of the two of them blissed out in the late afternoon sound asleep was proof that they were completely comfortable and happy with her. I highly recommend her and will plan another night out when she can be here.
Mara was great, the dogs seemed to really like her. She was on time, communicative, and respectful of the house. She sent lots of pictures, took all three on a walk at once which isn’t easy to do. She was patient with my old gal with doggy dementia. I would hire her again
Brianna stayed at our house and took car of our cat and chickens for three weeks while we were out of town. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again in the future. She was very reliable, self sufficient and able to solve things as they arose, and very attentive to our animals needs. Our cat is a very attention needy cat with some odd behavior like biting and Brianna won her over and loved on her without any hesitation. We came home to a well loved and content cat. Brianna also took special care of our chickens during the heat wave, tending to their needs. We also came home to a freshly cleaned house which was very much appreciated. Brianna was wonderful and we highly recommend her.
Emma is amazing! We ended up leaving her with an injured dog that needed meds and additional treatment and a sick cat that had to be given pills daily. Her response was: No problem! Her experience as a vet tech was obvious. Upon return the house and our pets were very well taken care of. Thank you Emma!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Riccas Corner is $93 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $133 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 Riccas Corner 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 Riccas Corner 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 Riccas Corner 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 Riccas Corner. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
