“Natalie is frankly an amazing sitter who was great with my two cats and was able and willing to work with me for the whole month I was gone. I came home to two happy and comfortable cats. Will absolutely be on my short list for sitters next time I have to leave my kitties behind for a while.”
About: My family and I have rescued and helped raise over four dogs, two cats, and several other animals, from tiny chihuahuas to massive great danes. I have personal experience with all kinds of pets and personalities, and I care for each one like my own. Pet care fits naturally into my week as part of my daily routine. Being a student-athlete at Coso College has helped me develop strong time-management and punctuality skills, so I’m good at keeping up with responsibilities and maintaining a consistent schedule. I would make sure to set aside time each day for feeding, exercise, attention, and general care. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping them comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and bonding, and make sure they always have fresh water, attention, and affection. For dog walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and fun, tailoring each walk to the dog’s energy level and personality.
About: I have been pet sitting for neighbors, friend, and family for 15 years and have always loved it! At one point having 5 animals of my own (including a disabled pup who needed to use diapers), I know how important it is to find quality care to truly enjoy a vacation or trip back home. I take pride in providing peace of mind by giving your pets all of the love and attention you would! I do not have a full time position so I am available for your pets at whatever time you feel works best for you and their schedule! I take direction from you, the pet’s owner. I want to add as little disruption to their daily routine as possible to keep them comfortable and happy.
“Malia was so great! She took such good care of Princeton (my cat) and really went above and beyond. She was very communicative and sent me lots of pictures of Princeton when she was there for her drop in visits. If needed, I will be booking with her again! Thanks again Malia! :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgecrest
Natalie was very kind and professional. She scheduled a meet and greet for our pugs prior to our booked service and they instantly loved her. Throughout the booking she sent lots of feed back and pictures informing us on how well they were doing. They had a few accidents and she was kind enough to clean up after them. She spent time with them outside which they love. We came back to 2 happy pups . She did great and we are very happy with how stress free it all went.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ridgecrest is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 30 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ridgecrest. 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.

- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 84% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 88% 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.
