“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!”

“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: 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.

About: I used to have a dog as I grew up and took care of it for many years and have recently helped take care of my landlord's dog as well. I live in a subdivision so I am more than aware of the practice of curbing the dog. I am very special with pets and love taking care of them. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and all the care it needs and not just the bare basics of food water and walks. I also have taken care of a cat too so I am more than willing to take care of cats as well, but I strongly prefer to take care of dogs only. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes.

About: I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! I'm patient and give all the care I can to any animal in my care! I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!! When I'm taking care of pets, I follow whatever routine is given to me as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, letting dogs out to the go to the bathroom or play, and sitting with the dogs as much as I can, whether that be in the same room with them, or actively petting and playing with them. I try to be as present and caring as possible and I will follow any rules you have for your animals!

About: I have been caring for dogs since the age of 12, gaining hands-on experience through regularly dog sitting for neighbors in my community. Over the years, I have developed strong skills in maintaining consistent routines, including daily walks, feeding schedules, and overall care. In addition, I have successfully trained my own dog, demonstrating patience, responsibility, and an understanding of canine behavior. I am currently finishing my bachelor’s degree and will be starting my master’s program this summer. With a gap between graduation and the start of my program, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog I take pride in being a trustworthy and respectful guest in my clients’ homes. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and ensure your home and pet are well cared for at all times.

About: I have many years of dog care experience! I have a decade of professional kennel experience but I've been taking care of dogs way before that. I grew up with many breeds especially when I lived on a ranch in Florida. I am experienced with any age of dog! I LOVE senior dogs so if you have an elder furry friend and you wish for them to be fully taken care of & tended to, feel free to reach out! I’m good with puppies, adults, seniors, big breeds, challenging dogs etc. I will tend to their needs and give them the necessary love, attention and care that they require while you are away. I can let them out to potty lots of times in day. Let me know their routine and I will be sure to follow through with it while they are with me! I will treat them as if they were my own! I will also stick with any set routine/care that they have and will be sure they stay happy and healthy. I always keep my house secure and am always careful when leaving the house so nobody runs out. I live in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood. I will send daily updates with pics to ease your nerves on leaving your beloved furry friend. I strive to make your pets feel comfortable, let me know of anything that is needed to help them stick to their usual routine and living style!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ridge on Rover is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $20 per visit. 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 285 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 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:

  • 96% 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 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.
