About: Having a lifelong background with canine companions, I am dedicated to offering your pet the same high standard of individualized care, supervision, and playtime that I provide for my two Goldens. A variety of enrichment toys and approved treats are always available. I am also pleased to coordinate structured neighborhood walks or authorized outings to local parks. Working remotely, I am home throughout the day to provide continuous care and supervision. I offer flexible arrangements, including in-home pet sitting at your residence or boarding at my home. I have a fenced-in back yard with plenty of room to run and play with my two Golden Retrievers. I can easily crate your pet if needed or requested.

About: I have taken care of dogs (family, friends, coworkers, personal) for over 10 years. My lab-mix Cooper is extremely well behaved and loves making new friends! I am working part-time from home so I have ample time on the weekends and evenings to care. Also have opportunity for walks early in the morning, if needed. I have a large fenced in backyard, doggie door for easy access to outside and have a love for dogs. I will treat every visitor like my own.

About: I’m an athletic animal enthusiast with a lifelong love for dogs. I have 3 furry friends of my own, a dog and two cats, so I understand the joy and responsibility of caring for pets. I enjoy long walks, playtime, and learning each pet’s unique personality. I especially love training and engaging with dogs, whether they’re playful puppies or seniors, making sure every animal feels happy and safe. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I enjoy starting my day with walks, playtime, and feeding, and I can adjust my schedule to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the week. I’m flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits and can accommodate special needs or longer care sessions when needed. I create a safe, loving environment for every pet, whether in my home or yours. I supervise all interactions, maintain clean spaces, and follow any specific instructions regarding food, medications, or routines. I build trust gradually by learning each pet’s personality, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for, and I communicate regularly with owners to keep them informed and confident in my care.

About: I grew up as an animal girl, we always had at least one dog at a time. I watched our neighbors dogs and farm animals growing up My work days are short and my schedule is flexible. Dogs are free to roam when I’m gone if trained or I’m happy to crate them if needed. Let me know where they sleep and I’m happy to arrange. My home is fully pet-friendly and nothing reachable for them to get into. I also live right next to a trail for long walks off the hot pavement.

“James was absolutely the best! He responded quickly, was extremely friendly and accommodating. My pup is a little high maintenance and my needs a little unique, but he was able to help me out in what was a pretty “out of the box” situation. His assistance was essential in providing necessary care for my boy. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for pet care in the area and truly thank him for his help!”

“Brook is absolutely wonderful! She is deeply caring and observant and took the time to absorb the peculiarities about my elder dog, Maya, before spending time with her. Brook picks up on and reports the little things - how active Maya was; whether she was in the mood to sleep or play; how many times she went potty. She also sent pictures and updates and was very responsive. 10 out of 10!!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2 and grew up with three big pups (and a cat!). Now in Florida without my family dog, I channel all that love into keeping your pups happy—whether it’s puppy zoomies or senior snuggles. Running a gym gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of breaks between classes, which means I have the perfect windows for walks, playtime, and check-ins. Whether it’s a quick midday stroll or some extra snuggles, I can easily fit caring for your pup into my daily routine. Moving to Florida without my family pup, I miss her like crazy—so I happily “borrow” other people’s dogs for cuddles, walks, and playtime. I always keep things clean and bring my own food, so your home stays just the way you left it.

“This is the first time we’ve used Rover, so I was a bit nervous. when we signed up and Reece agreed to watch our 14 yr old golden doodle. My fears were allayed the minute Reece came over for a meet and greet. She was so good with our old dog. I went over all the instructions with her and she made sure she understood every detail. We were away for 3 days and got daily updates and photos. Vinny was in heaven, being walked every couple of hours and having Reece’s full attention at each visit. I’m sure he missed her when we came home!! We will definitely be asking for Reece the next time we need someone to watch Vinny. Thank you Reece 😊.”

About: Growing up with dogs and cats has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and providing consistent care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, giving attention, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My current position is super flexible especially in the afternoons, being at place i can do my job anywhere. So helping take of animals is something I can easily do for you! I care for pets with the same attention, patience, and respect I would give my own. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions and routines closely, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any other requested needs. I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and receiving plenty of attention while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean and secure, provide updates and photos when requested, and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and individual personality.

“Choosing Rover to find a pet sitter was a great idea. This was my first time doing so, and initially, I felt nervous about entrusting the care of my fur babies to someone else. However, from the very first day we met Juliana in person—and through our text conversations and video calls—I began to feel increasingly comfortable and at ease. Juliana made everything easier for my peace of mind; she kept me constantly updated, sent me photos, and I know she treated my babies with sweetness and kindness. I am extremely happy with Juliana, as well as with her help and service; I recommend her 1,000%! Thank you for everything, Juliana.”

About: I have always loved cats and dogs. They are kind and share unconditional love with us humans. I have been responsible for cats and dogs in my own home since I was 7 years old. Friends have left me with their pets and their children for weekends at a time. You can trust that your pets will be well taken care of while they are in my care. I tend bar in the early evenings 4 nights a week. My bartending shifts range from 4-6 hours. Mornings and early afternoons work great for stop ins and walks. I can come to your place to care for your pets. I will walk your dogs and will play with dogs and cats. And when I walk your dog, I won’t be on my phone. I will be present.

About: I have several years of experience training and caring for dogs of different breeds, including Maltese, Beagles, and Collies. My approach focuses on positive reinforcement, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual personality. I currently train my own 1.5-year-old Border Collie, which keeps me active and constantly improving my handling and communication skills. Whether it’s teaching basic obedience, leash manners, or creating structure at home, I adapt to each dog’s needs to help them stay calm, confident, and well-behaved. I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of availability for dog sitting, including daytime, overnight, and weekend stays. I can adjust easily to your dog’s usual routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to make the transition as stress-free as possible. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment complex with designated dog areas for training and play. The environment is quiet, secure, and perfect for safe outdoor time. Inside, dogs are always supervised, kept comfortable, and treated with the same care and attention as my own. Safety, structure, and comfort are my top priorities at all times.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager and have experience as both a lifelong pet owner and a sitter. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. From small, cuddly pups to high energy Australian breeds who need plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, cuddles, and making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I would prefer drop ins and “pet sitting” in your house most of the day if needed, but would currently not be comfortable staying overnight. I am an early riser and can be there very early however , or whatever day time routine would be most comfortable for your dog :) I am currently not working more than 10 hours a week with contract work, so my hours and schedule are very flexible. We are also new to Florida, and are looking to buy a house soon, so this will fill up my time with something I love doing while helping earn some extra income. I know how important your fur babies are to you! My husband and I have a little dog and a big fluffy cat and they are basically our children! I would treat them with just as much love and care as my own animals, and I hope I can bring my little dog with me to play when allowed!

She was incredibly caring, reliable, and attentive to our dog’s needs. It was such a relief knowing our pup was in such loving and capable hands while we were away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ridgecrest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
