About: I have a dog & cat of my own that I’m obsessed with, and I have plenty of experience house-sitting for family (dogs, cats, chickens) I’m completely free on the weekends or after work, and my favorite way to spend my free time outside of that is loving and caring for animals! I totally understand that everyone’s pets are different, and honestly, I prefer to do all of the “weird” things that would make your pet comfortable!

Happy I chose Alyssa to care for my dog. He was truly cared for. Excellent communication and upbeat personality, Teddy was so well cared for I doubt he even realized I wasn’t home 😂. I would 1000% choose Alyssa again when I need a dog sitter.

Sarah was great to my 2 dogs. One dog is very senior, and the other has health conditions. Sarah made sure she understood each dog’s needs, and asked questions when needed. I would highly recommend Sarah, and will be using her services again in the future.

About: Asst in training service dogs, have had dogs for the past 25 years. I have also had cats but do not have one currently. I watch my neighbors' animals, to include a bunny and other small animals as well. I currently work from home most days and am able to work from anywhere with my laptop if I am needed to stay at your home. This also gives me the availability to leave for breaks to take your animal out for small walks or potty breaks during the day. I have always had 3 dogs at a time, but I just lost my last fur baby in January 2026 so we just got a puppy in April as I just can’t be without a fur baby. I care for my animals as family, not pets, they sleep with me and my husband and go with us when we are able to take them.I provide more of a motherly service and will care for your fur baby as if he/she were my own. This includes playing and snuggling.

About: Animals have always been my happy place. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so caring for animals is part of my everyday life. I’ve also helped family and friends by letting their dogs out, taking them on walks, and caring for them while they were away, including keeping a friend’s dog in my home for a week during vacations. While I’m new to Rover, I’m dependable, patient, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part-time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Outside of those hours, I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I’m also available most Thursdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pets receive the care and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any routines your pet is used to. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

About: 🐾 Experienced Care From Someone Who Truly Loves Animals Hi! I’m Destiny, and I’m an animal lover with 12 years of hands-on pet-care experience. I’ve spent years caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities, from playful puppies and high-energy pups to seniors and anxious dogs. I currently have three dogs, one cat, and lots of reptiles of my own, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can genuinely trust. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family and take the time to learn their individual routine, personality, and needs. I can provide: 🐶 Walks & daily exercise 🏡 Drop-in visits 💊 Oral medication administration 🐾 Care for senior dogs ❤️ Extra patience for anxious/high-energy pets 📸 Regular photo & care updates I have a flexible schedule and I’m happy to work with different routines and schedules. My goal is to make your life easier while giving your pet the attention, love, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my priority. I can’t wait to meet you both! 🐾❤️ My schedule does fluctuate slightly, but mostly remains pretty open! I also can work around other people’s schedules pretty easily, and accommodate as much as possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, routine, and individual needs throughout every visit. Before a booking, I like to learn about your pet’s normal routine, any medications or special instructions, allergies, triggers, and anything else I should know. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll contact you promptly and follow the plan we’ve discussed.

About: I have been taking care of the pets of friends and family for years, ranging from dog-walking to week-long pet sitting. Experience with a wide range of breeds and ages. I am a substitute teacher with a very flexible schedule, so I can take care of animals pretty much any time during days when I am not subbing. For sitting at other’s’ home, I try and keep the pet’s schedule as close to normal as possible! I prefer sitting in other’s’ homes just to keep things simple for the furry babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 591 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ridgecrest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgecrest. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

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.
