“Caitlynn did a great job. We had a newly adopted dog that hadn't been trained and an older dog that wasn't happy about the new family member. Caitlynn handled the situation well even with the tense situation between the dogs. Thanks!”

“My cat is normally quite wary of new people, but she seemed to warm up to Tisha very quickly. Tisha also helped clean up a kitty mess which was more than I could’ve asked from her. Highly recommend!”

“Taylor was amazing and reliable as always! She was incredibly accommodating with our last-minute request and came out late at night on a rainy day to take care of our puppies. She handled everything perfectly and gave us complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Taylor for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!!”

About: I’m a pet parent to 4 dogs of various sizes and 1 cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have 13 years of experience working with pets of all ages, including seniors and special‑needs pets with clear instructions. I work full time Monday through Friday, so my availability is 5 PM–10 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends. I’m happy to provide treats with your approval, and I prefer traveling to your home so your pet can stay in a familiar environment. Baths can be given upon request. I do not trim nails or hair since I’m not certified for grooming. If your pet has special routines, medications, or accommodations, I’m more than willing to follow them. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m always happy to answer questions and help you feel confident about your pet’s care. I currently work full-time in the medical field. I’m able to provide weekend care and minor drop in and walks during the week day. I have several pets at home. If your pet does well around other animals I will be able to house them for a few days. I’m available for dog walking all weekend. Limited availability during the week.

About: I’m already someone who loves being home, going on peaceful walks, and keeping things cozy, so adding a furry friend to the mix just makes everything better. I treat pets like little VIP guests and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a routine that feels calm and predictable for them. I always try to match whatever your pet is used to so they feel safe and comfortable. If I’m watching your pet in your home, I keep their routine exactly how you have it. They will have their meals on time, daily walks, play breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m very detail-oriented, so I pay attention to the small things like their favorite toy, how they like to be greeted, or where they prefer to nap. If I’m caring for them in my home, they get a clean, cozy environment, lots of love, and a peaceful space to relax. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to what makes them feel happiest. I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own and give them spoiled-in-a-good-way kind of love. I’m patient, observant, and good with pets who may be a little shy or anxious. I have a patient personality and animals tend to trust me quickly. I’m also extremely reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’ve cared for a variety of pets from rambunctious puppies to senior dogs. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.

“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.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies I also grew up taking care of English bulldogs and understand the importance of consistency with potty training, basic commands, and positive reinforcement. I’m also attentive and gentle with senior pets, making sure they receive extra patience, medication support if needed, and a calm environment. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away My schedule is pretty open. I am always flexible depending on what I have scheduled. I do work but only part time. I make time for the pets I watch. I love to take my dog on walks my animals are house dogs they spend time with me and enjoying life not in a cage though they do have one and love to just lay in there but there environment is safe and welcoming.

About: I’ve had experience in pet sitting for minimum 10 years. Attention to detail and care for pets needs come first. Restrictions if any are considered as well. Morning, mid day, and evening walks are a must. As well as feeding, as frequent or less as needed. Pets will remain hydrated and have ample play time and relaxation time throughout the day. I offer a fenced yard with a seperate play area inside of home dedicated to pets. There will be ample space inside, or outside of home for pets to flourish and plenty of dog parks available if preferred.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ridge is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $20 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 279 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
