Angela was wonderful! She was available last minute and was so quick to respond. My dog is very nervous and upon first meeting he was remarkably calm around her! Angie is a gem, so attentive and reliable. We will definitely be entrusting her with our pets again in the future.

Melissa is an excellent cat-sitter. She has watched our cats for two different long (over a week) visits, and done a superb job. She is prompt and reliable in feeding them two times daily, plus litter clean-up and loving time. My favorite picture is my Calico cat licking her cheek in affection!

About: I've had 5 cats and 1 dog(who is now 8), so between my own pets and pet sitting experiences I'm well-versed in all sorts of life stages and energy levels for cats and dogs. I also know what it's like to want a good sitter for your pets, so I'll make sure you come home to happy pets! I'm currently a senior in high school, so I can spend late afternoons/evenings taking care of your pets! I'm also available on weekends and federal holidays. I have my own car, so I can easily travel to a client's home to provide the best possible service for their pets. I think it's best not to stress pets out with a new environment when they're already without their people, so I'm more than willing to travel to the pets themselves!

This is the second time I have had James come and care for my cats while I am out of town. He was very communicative and gave detailed updates and pictures of my cats which was really nice. I would definitely recommend him if you need cat care!

About: I care for my own dog and two cats every single day, so I understand the routines, patience, and consistency that pets need to feel safe and happy. I also work at a pet store, which gives me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and care needs. I’m constantly learning—whether it’s nutrition, behavior tips, or new ways to keep pets comfortable and enriched. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I take care of my own dog and two cats daily, so feeding, walking, cleaning, and keeping pets on a consistent routine is something I naturally do. Because of my job at a pet store, I’m around animals throughout the week and always learning new ways to support their health and behavior. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special routines your pet is used to. I always take time to bond with each pet so they feel comfortable, and I pay attention to their body language to make sure they’re relaxed and happy.

About: Hi! My name is Ashleigh! I currently have two medium sized dogs, one is a Aussie doodle (Australian shepherd & Poodle mix) and a golden doodle (Golden Retriever & Poodle mix). They are both 2 years old. I have many years of experience watching and taking care of both friends and families pups. From a young age I was taught that pets are apart of the family and we are to treat them as so. In which, I ensure they are loved, get plenty of play time and adapt to their needs as well as yours! I am a trustworthy, reliable, and caring individual looking to help keep your pets happy! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!🐾 I do have a full time job in which I go into the office everyday Monday-Thursday and Fridays I am either off or work 3-4 hours. However, I do have weekends off and I am flexible when it comes to the weekdays, taking care of your pet before work, after work and in the later evening time. This will all be very transparent and figured out per situation. I care for each furry friend by making time for walks, I live in a small community on a dead end street plenty of room to stretch his/her legs. I will ensure there is plenty of clean water and enough food. As well as giving love to your pet while you are gone, as long as they accept it. Understanding each pet and family will be different I plan to take care of your pet as you would do yourself. Also, having a meet up or a call before to discuss the dos and don’t to taking care of your pet will be beneficial for both of us.

About: Taking care of domestic and exotic animals growing up was an enjoyable, it gives this heartwarming feeling. I have over 15 years of experience of taking care different pets. I am willing to go out of my way for my pets, friends, family and new clients. I helped with dogs birth, puppies care, and senior care. I have a set schedule for my dog from the time I wake up to going to bed at night. Feeding, exercise and playtime will be tracked so you know your pet is getting what they need. I will obey all rules and schedule that is given to me for the best care for your pet. Your pet is in great hands, playtime and optional bathe will be included in house sitting so you can come home to a happy and clean pet if they end up having too much fun outside.

Caitlin was amazing with my cats while I was gone! She provided me with thorough updates and silly pictures. She definitely made me feel a lot better about leaving them home alone for the first time. I’ll definitely see if she is available again in the future the next time I go on a trip :) thank you, Caitlin!!

Great pet sitter! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little skeptical at first; but Kathleen was very personable and accommodating. She made sure to update us the whole time we were away, and remained calm and collected when our home alarm went off and she had no way to reach us. She was very professional and Zoey absolutely loved her. Very happy with her services! 10/10 would recommend.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ridge on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 299 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
