“Sovan was great with our two doodles! He put our minds at ease, gave regular updates, and followed instructions. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing everything was going smoothly. He dogsit at our home and everything was exactly how we left it.”
“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!”
“Kailynn watched our dogs while we were out of town at our house for a week. She provided our babies plenty of potty breaks, walks, and snuggles. She sent us some pictures of them also while we were away - which is always nice since we miss them for sure. She kept the house clean and had everything washed and remade for the guestroom when we came home! Will be using her again for sure in the future!”

“Our experience with Jesse was absolutely amazing! We’ve never had someone stay at our home with our fur baby before, so we were a little nervous at the beginning, but the moment I met Jesse, I felt 100% comfortable leaving Thor and our home in her hands. She offered to come over before we left to meet us and Thor, and to go over details of the stay. She sent pictures during our trip (which I loved!) and I could tell Thor was very happy to have her there. We are so thankful to have found Jesse, and will absolutely be using her in the future! I recommend Jesse 100% !”
“Andi is a great pet sitter! She did a great job watching our GSP, Josh, who really liked her. I love how she sent us a few updates and photos every day and stayed in touch with us while we were away. She came to meet Josh before staying at our house with him and texted to confirm the appointment a day before which was great. Thank you, Andi!”
“Kallie was absolutely incredible, my pup can be a little nervous sometimes & immediately was comfortable with her. She never failed to update me with photos and how the day was going. I will definitely be using her again ♥️”
About: Hi! I’m Felicia, and I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, keeping routines, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m especially attentive to the little things—your pet’s normal routine, behavior, favorite activities, and any special instructions you provide. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust in your home and with your pets, so communication and reliability are very important to me. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, some playtime and companionship, or simply a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can rely on for their care. 🐶🐾❤️ I work a full time job and have a pet of my own. But I will always take any just as serious as taking care of my own pet. I will pop in on my way to work to walk, feed, spend time with your fur baby and on my way home as well. My days off will be completely free. I know owners get anxious when leaving their fur babies behind and so do the babies when they are left alone for too long. Your four legged child will always be safe with me.
“Zach was absolutely amazing 🤩. I was nervous since this was the longest we’d ever been away from our fur baby, but he kept in constant communication and sent frequent updates. He not only took wonderful care of our fur baby, but also our home. Our fur baby wasn’t 100%, but Zach took great care with the instructions needed for him. We were truly able to enjoy our trip knowing everything was in the best hands—hoping he’ll be available next time we are in need of a sitter!”
“Juliana was wonderful with my dog, Oso. She was punctual and even came the week before for a meet-and-greet, which I really appreciated. Oso usually does not like strangers and can be a bit cautious at first, but Juliana handled everything patiently and professionally. By the end of the visit, Oso had warmed up to her and was actually very friendly, which says a lot. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and knows how to make them feel comfortable. Thank you, Juliana, for taking such good care of Oso. I’m looking forward to having you watch him again in the near future. 🐶😊”
“Christine was absolutely amazing with my two dogs!! She gave them so much attention and love! One of my dogs is almost 14 years old and has a hard time walking and falls occasionally. Christine was very good with him and kept a good eye on him when he was outside. Already going to book her for our next vacation! So happy that I have finally found someone that I can trust to take such good care of my dogs and can leave for vacation with a piece of mind!!”
About: I’ve had puppies and rescues since age 5. I’ve trained puppies and special needs senior dogs with love and consistency. A tired dog is a good dog! I’m a Florida/Texas hybrid. As such I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to acquire experience in caring for animals of every shape and size from birth essentially! . I have cared for a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, cows, horses, pigs, rabbits, goats, turtles, fish, chickens and even llamas! Some as secondhand exposure to how their needs dictate their care, while others as ownership and primary care. As a critical care nurse for nearly 18 years I developed skills in accuracy, prioritization and diligence. I no longer work in that capacity and my goal with Rover is simply to care for fur babies as their people would so we can all have full happy lives! I’m currently open to sitting/visiting/walking during the day. I can also offer bathing. I have experience with a variety of needs and sizes. I’ve never been without a dog by my side! I have a large fenced yard and have large dogs. I take them to the beach and dog parks regularly. I’m open to unsocialized dogs who need independent, at home care as well.
“Linda is wonderful! She truly loves dogs. She treated Flo like her own. We canceled this bokking once because of Hurricane Milton then rebooked after the storm had passed and we made it through unscathed. Linda, however, had lost power at her house. We will definitely book with Linda again-- if she is available! She is understandably in high demand.”
“I am SO SO happy to have found Wendy! The dogs love her and so do I. She recently watched the dogs for a week while we were out of state on vacation, and even though I ended up with zero cell service and very spotty WiFi making it nearly impossible for me to reply to her texts, I felt completely confident and comfortable knowing that Wendy was with my babies and that they were in great hands! Thank you for loving them!”
About: I grew up in PA out in the country. My family cared for and raised many different kinds of dogs. We had Yorkshire Terriers, German Shorthair Pointers, and Beagles. We always had dogs and they were our closest loyal companions. It would be great to get to care for your dog. I am loving, energetic, punctual and nurturing. I am available evenings and overnight. I can also come by to take them for a walk, feed them, and let them out to go to the bathroom. Every dog is special in their own way and deserves to be taken care of! I will have the utmost respect for your pet and your property. My goal is to care for your pet the way you would.
“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!”
“Gretchen watched our dog and cat over a long weekend and did a fantastic job. Our pets loved her company, she was a great communicator, and she kept our house super tidy! 10/10! I can’t recommend Gretchen enough and we hope she is available next time we need a pet sitter. Thank you Gretchen for taking such good care of our pets!”
About: Hi! I’m Pinellas County local returning after spending several years abroad. This past year while living in Germany, I’ve had the absolute privilege of caring for more than 40 pets using Rover’s German-equivalent, Pawshake, where I take great pride in maintaining a 5 star rating and building trust with more than a dozen pet parents that chose to rebook me again and again. I have experience caring for breeds large and small, and pets young and old. From an elderly chihuahua to an 8-week-old Rhodesian Ridgeback, I’ve developed an expertise in understanding dogs of all ages and sizes, interpreting their needs, and ensuring their ultimate comfort and happiness while they’re in my care. I have experience caring for as many as 3 dogs at once, as well as house sitting overnight in the pet’s home and boarding pets over night in my own home. My favorite part of pet sitting is the relationships I get to build with both my pets and their parents. :) Thank you for considering my services—please reach out with any questions! I work remotely for myself, which allows me ultimate flexibility to adapt and coordinate to your schedule and your pet’s needs! My pet parents frequently comment on how helpful it is to them that I’m frequently available for last-minute bookings, as well as maintain flexibility to shift my schedule around, extend time, etc. as needed. The pet’s comfort is my first and foremost priority, which means that the first thing that’s required is that I build trust with the pet. This starts by me asking several questions about the pet, which I will use to adapt my approach to trust-building with your pet (playing with a favorite toy, treats, or simply sitting together at first—every pet needs something different!). I ensure that I stick to the schedule or routine that they are used to, and make sure to send lots of pictures and updates so that you’re always kept in the loop!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ridgecrest is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgecrest
Beverly took great care of our puppy. She communicated daily with texts and pictures. It was so good to know she was safe and cared for while we were out of the country! Poppy is a handful and Beverly gave her 3 walks a day. Thankful we had Beverly to count on.
Katie went above and beyond for us when we needed a house sitter. She communicated frequently, spent a lot of time caring for the animals, and the house was clean and tidy when we got home. Above all, you can tell she really cares for animals and is a really cool person. I cannot recommend her enough, and I will keep inviting her back, because I’m sure my boys will miss her!
Jennifer was absolutely fantastic! We tasked her with our 3 doggos, one being a 8 week old puppy. Her communication was exceptional. She sent us videos and pictures so we were updated on the dogs day! She was absolutely fantastic and I would recommend her to everyone!
Teagan was absolutely wonderful with our two golden retrievers, Jackson and Parker! She stayed at our house for the full 10 days and took such great care of both the dogs and our home. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay and sent us lots of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. When we returned, the house was spotless, and she even washed all the sheets before leaving. It was clear that she went above and beyond in every way. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Teagan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and dependable. Awesome job all around!
Amanda, we cannot thank you enough for taking such exceptional care of our two Goldens and home! Even through a week of rain and unexpected irrigation repairs you were gracious and understanding. I hope you know that you are stuck with us because we will never find anyone more responsible, trustworthy, or loving!
Shareka was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are incredibly spoiled. They’re used to lots of attention, affection, and company, and she exceeded my expectations in every way and I felt zero guilt for leaving my dogs. I use Rover almost every weekend, and I can honestly say she has been my favorite sitter so far. I would recommend her without hesitation and would hire her again every single time if our schedules line up. She’s reliable, caring, and truly treats your pets like her own. I almost don’t want to leave this review because I want to keep her my little secret. 😂 But she deserves every bit of the praise. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
