“My kitties and doggos loved Jennica!! She came for an overnight sit and took such good care of them. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and was very independent. I had no worries leaving them in her care, and I know they were sad that I came back and Jennica left 😄 The house was spotless too! I’ll be having her back for sure!”


About: I stand out because I treat every dog like my own. I learn their quirks, stick to their exact routine, and keep you updated with photos so you’re never left wondering. With reliable communication and genuine love for animals, you come home to a calm, happy pup who had a great day. As a cat owner, I fit care into my day in small, easy chunks. My mornings are 10-15 minutes to feed, refresh water, and scoop the litter while my coffee brews. Evenings take about 15-20 minutes for dinner, a second scoop, and playtime — my cat is most active at dusk, so a quick wand-toy session helps her settle for the night. Weekly tasks like deep-cleaning the box or brushing take me 30 minutes total. Once I tied it to habits I already had, it became routine and keeps my cat calm and happy. I care for my pets by keeping their routine simple and consistent. Mornings are food, fresh water, and quick clean-up. Evenings are dinner, play or walks, and checking that everyone’s settled. I stick to their schedules, handle meds when needed, and stay on top of vet care so they stay healthy and happy.
“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”

“We were very pleased with Susie, the boys responded very well to her friendly demeanor. She was punctual, professional, and left the house in good condition! This was our first time leaving our babies behind and we were nervous but with all the pictures and communication we felt at ease. We would definitely request Susie again in the future.”

“Jennifer was fantastic watching our two kitties! We got a ton of pictures and videos. She took time to let our older shy girl get used to her and, by the end of a long weekend, had her coming out for pets and even playtime! Our younger, super active, little girl stayed entertained and got plenty of pets and even got her daily fresh air time! I would definitely recommend Jennifer for your pet sitting needs! She is very professional and did everything we asked! And it’s obvious how much of an animal lover she is! We will definitely book with her again!!!”

“Cindy was an excellent sitter staying in our home. She took care of our two dogs like they were her own. She was very helpful in bringing our packages in and more importantly our two girls got lots of love and attention. We will definitely use her to stay with our dogs again! Highly recommend!”

“Rita did an excellent job taking care of our loved one. Always in constant contact when massaged and was able to take care of our pup's needs with the instructions we left for her. Highly recommended and looking forward to the next time.”

About: I'm a lifelong dog person that likes them all, big and small! I stay pretty busy dog sitting, especially in the summer, and I'd love to hangout with your four-legged friends. I'm comfortable with cats and other pets as well, just ask! I have had dogs and cats my entire life (not currently) and have experience with several breeds and some medical issues, such as epileptic seizures. I am compassionate and caring, and love puppy snuggles (if they want to give them). I will stay in your house or come by as needed. Along with the pet-sitting, if I'm staying at your place, I'm happy to bring in the mail, roll out the trash, and even take care of your pool if you've got one! work part-time and have some flexible side work, which allows me to structure my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for. I always make sure I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping animals comfortable and cared for. Being around animals is something I truly enjoy, so it’s an easy and fulfilling part of my routine. I care for pets in my client’s home, where they’re most comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I usually stay with them and try to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, cuddles, and downtime. I know being away from their family can be stressful for pets, so I focus on helping them feel safe, calm, and cared for while their humans are away.
About: Myself and my wife have enjoyed our lives basically surrounded by dogs. When we were young and first married, we bought a house in the woods with two acres to build into a dog sanctuary. We breed and raised dobermans and danes. We built kennels and fenced in park for our kids (dogs). Our house was a paradise for dogs with a walk in basement and garage, heated and air conditioned complete with sofas, dog beds, carpeting and TV. We lived in Indy at that time. All our dogs were kept inside while we worked and always kept in ac and heat depending on season. The outdoor kennels has a large roof overhead and a deck off the back which lead to our wooded fenced in back yard(1 acre). We constructed a 200 foot walkway throughout the woods with well first class lighting. The property was on o hill and at the back a 20x 20 deck was at the end of the walk way. Our pool was a large 40x20 foot pool. All dogs trained on where steps were (pool school) and the dogs compound was separated by 5 foot chain link fence. All dogs were taken to obedience training by myself and my wife. We had one litter of 8 Doberman puppies and kept three puppies with their mother. When the mother passed we adopted a black Great Dane, she was 7 months old and spent half her nights downstairs in the kennels and lounge area with Jaba our largest pup to be his best friend. We always had two dogs in our bedroom, alternating both couples from downstairs to upstairs. People would say “ when I die I want to come back as one of Dan and Terry’s dogs”. We were fortunate to have the facility, which we designed and built, to make everything work so well. After our litter of dobermans aged and expired, we needed a friend for our Dane ( Molly Dane). We went to a no kill humane society event with our Dane and found a perfect Lab mix who just adored her. The name they had given him was Chauncey. We brought him home and showed him all his new home. He loved the woods, the pool, the kennels and the freedom of the back woods. He, however, was escape artist. The woods was all fenced with 5 foot brown chain link fence, but he kept getting out. We would search the neighborhood till we found him. We determined he could not jump the fence but rather he would climb it to escape. Given time, he would also dig under. We then added an invisible fence to the top of our fence only on the outer perimeter ( over a mile of wire). We trained him if he got within 3 feet of the fence, he was warned with an audible tone from his collar. However, if he got close enough he would receive a shock. This system worked great. Later, however, he had no desire to even leave his house and he loved his Dane. We, shortly later, rescued a Jack Russell from an apartment life which lacked human companions due to long work schedules. We kept him for a month and found a great home for him with another Jack Russell and a fenced back yard. We later rescued a wiener dog,who had nipped a kid, and was destined to be put down. He became a member of the family because my wife feel in love with him as he looked like a Doberman puppy. We sold our home in Indy, and moved to our second home in Florida with the Dane, the Lab and the wiener. I am currently sitting in my recliner writing this with the only survivor from those years in my lap, the wiener. We now have him, 14 years old, and his little friend, Joey (a rescue wiener 10 pound chestnut colored cutie). That’s our story. We do like to travel and we definitely hate to leave our dogs. We always have friends come to the house while we vacation and won’t go if all was not perfect for their care. Rudy, the old wiener, is now 14. He is blind now and Joey is a baby lap dog. We still walk Rudy in a baby carriage. He still is enjoying the elder years as much as we can provide. We have always loved our dogs. We love all DOGS! We are retired and live in a four bedroom ranch near the ocean. I work a day or two at a country club and my wife enjoys free golf and tennis with me. We never leave our dogs more than 4 hours. We are home or nearby most of the time. See pictures. Our back yard in perfect for dogs ( fenced,safe,etc). And our house is safe and comfortable . We have turasso floors, no carpet, and an open floor plan. We walk our dogs in a great neighborhood with sidewalks and speed bumps.
“Minda was so wonderful with our pup Jasper. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind that their furry family member is well taken care of. Thanks so much!!”

“Stephanie stayed in our home with our two boys for 3 nights and was absolutely amazing! She sent pictures, updates and was so kind. Our hearts were at ease knowing they were in great hands while we were out of state. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”


About: I have walked different sized and aged dogs before through volunteering for a dog and cat shelter. I love high energy dogs because they help make sure I get my exercise for the day. I am available during the summer because I am not working much. I will take care of your dogs like they are your kids. I am comfortable taking care of dogs. I know it's important to make sure dogs stay happy while in my care. I will make sure dogs and their owners feel exceptional and well taken care of after I work with them, I am interested in getting to know you and have me get to know your dogs. It's important to have someone to give attention at all times I currently work part time. It's easy for me to do walks in the morning and evening and night time and but I am able to board any time of the week as my boyfriend is able to help as well. I have a large fenced yard and live in a quiet street and neighborhood. There is plenty of space to rest and relax and we can go for long walks together.
“Hailey is the best! She handled our wild husky so well! She provided us with updates, pictures, and kept us at ease during our trip! She is so nice and courteous and treated our home with care! It’s great to know we have someone we can trust our dog and home with!! Will def be using her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgecrest
Teagan was fantastic caring for our dog and cat. She maintained great communication prior to and throughout the duration of the care. When we ran into unforeseen issues with our travel, requiring an extension to our trip, she was incredibly flexible and considerate with assisting us to ensure the pets were cared for. We highly recommend Teagan and will use her service again!

We loved having Cindy here! She took such great care of Cleo and our house looked exactly how we left it! She was also happy to help with a few things around the house while we were gone. Cindy is very easy going but so on the ball, we felt completely comfortable while we were away!

Tina took excellent care of our babies while we went away on a family trip. She had a full house on her hands and made sure they had lots of attention and cuddles. Her daughter came over too to help with their care and playtime, and she communicated very well with us every day with photos and updates on how they were doing. We recommend her and would definitely book with Tina again in the future :)

Mr. Jason was absolutely amazing in taking care of my husky. He followed all my instructions and went above and beyond, taking my boy on walks down the trail. If you want someone who will be attentive to your dogs needs and provide them with all the love, cuddles, and attention, this is the sitter to book. I have booked several sitters before on this app, but I dont think my boy has ever loved and missed a sitter before. He definitely misses hanging out with mr Jason.

Sovan was perfect. He stayed with our dog at our home for roughly 12 days. He kept our dogs and our plants and kept them happy and healthy the whole time. He sent daily pics and videos while we were gone and was quick to respond to texts. When we got back, it was so awesome to come home to a clean house too. After having felt unable to travel out of anxiety over what to do with our dog, it's amazing to feel that we have someone we can trust to take care of our Dennis and our home.

Amanda is LOVED by us and by our two Goldens! She takes exceptional care of the dogs and our home and communicates to us regarding anything important or concerning. Amanda is honest, reliable, and trustworthy, not to mention a great company to our dogs. We feel at ease knowing she’s watching over things while we’re away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ridgecrest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ridgecrest on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Ridgecrest 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 Ridgecrest 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 Ridgecrest 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 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.
