“Zachary was amazing! Our dog loved him instantly and he was so patient with her. He kept us updated with photos. He dropped in on our dog multiple times during an impending hurricane - I would have understood if he’d canceled under the circumstances. I would absolutely use Zachary’s services again.”

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.

“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!”

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.

About: I've worked at a pet store for three years and was a manager of said store for one of those years. I've worked in and volunteered at veterinary clinics. I've also volunteered and interned at the Humane Society of Pinellas. I work well with not only cats and dogs but exotic animals, such as reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and small rodents. All in all, I'm a huge animal lover! I work part time and I am also a full time student, so Monday - Thursday mornings 7am-11am work best for me. I am able to do feedings, walks, and medications for your pet(s). I'm experienced giving animals their needed medication. I enjoy walks and exercise in the morning, which is how I take care of my parent's dogs. I've also helped to take care of their chickens. I also have exotic animals and I am experienced with working with them professionally as well.

About: I work for BluePearl Pet Hospital in Clearwater and also foster kittens/puppies when my schedule allows. Between having my own pets and working in vet med, I have a good idea of what to look out for in case of an emergency. I have my own pets and have had to deal with after care of surgeries, administering meds, bottle feeding, stimulation etc. I love animals and I understand they need proper care and someone their parents can trust. I work full time but can do walks before and after work and provide play time in our yard. Someone is always present in our home. I have a fenced in yard and can provide your pet with a safe place to play. I do have chickens but they have a separate part of our yard that is fenced off.

“Kelli is an amazing sitter for our 3 cats! She follows all of our detailed instructions well, is very communicative and quick to let us know of any issues or concerns, very thoughtful if any problem solving is needed, and sends us great thorough updates and lots of pictures so we can see how our babies are doing while we are away! We will continue to work with Kelli as long as she will have us during any of our pet care needs! We would highly recommend Kelli to anyone, especially those looking for folks who are caring and considerate of cats needs, which can be quite different than those of other furry friends.”

About: Hi I’m Hauna! I’ve always been a dog person. Big or small I will treat them like my own. I am trustworthy, reliable, active, and I give the best pets. My childhood dog passed away 2 years ago and I miss him with my whole heart. Life truly is way better with a dog in your life. I would love to spend some time with your pup! I just moved down to Clearwater and am currently in the middle of finding work in this area. For now I have a completely open schedule but will adjust my days depending on work in the future. Your pets safety is my top priority! I make sure with every walk or visit I am always making sure the environment is pet-friendly. I want your pup to feel comfortable and happy. I treat every pet like my own. You can count on me to be reliable, trustworthy, and I’ll always keep you posted with photos! I’m happy to set up a meet and greet to make sure your pets feel comfortable and we’re a perfect fit for sitting!

About: I’ve traveled across the United States with my dogs, exploring incredible natural wonders together. They’re more than pets—they’re family, my pride and joy, and beautifully trained. That deep connection helps me understand and care for every dog as if they were my own. Send me your days my availability is very flexible! Most days I am free and I would love to get to know you’re fur babies My dogs are kenneled while I am away and my cats are separated in their rooms. If I am away at work during a boarding session your doggy will have to be kenneled. I do not allow unkenneled dogs roaming the house while I am not watching.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our girls, Jayne and Eileen, received! With Jayne being a senior dog who needs a little extra attention and patience, it means so much to know she’s in loving hands. We truly appreciate the kindness, compassion, and care shown to both of our girls. Having that peace of mind while we’re away is priceless. We would absolutely recommend and book again!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Natalia! She came to take care of my Chow Chow, Eduardo, who is very cautious around new people and doesn’t trust just anyone. But Natalia was absolutely amazing with him! Eduardo loved her right away, and he even took his treat with his medication without any hesitation. That says a lot about how comfortable and safe he felt with her! Natalia is incredibly sweet, gentle, patient, and loving with dogs. You can truly tell that she has a genuine love for animals, and to me, that makes all the difference. I’m so happy I had the pleasure of meeting her and couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care she showed Eduardo. I wholeheartedly recommend Natalia! She is absolutely wonderful, and I would trust her with my dogs again in a heartbeat! ❤️🐾

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ridgecrest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ridgecrest is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $32 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 November 2026, there are 6,458 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 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 Ridgecrest. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
