“Julia is a superb pet sitter. We were travelling out of the country leaving behind our 3 highly pampered cats, the eldest of which is 18 years old. She took beautiful care of them, twice a day, and kept us posted with updates and pictures. She cleaned up after them, brushed them, changed the litter and food, and got rid of the garbage just as I had instructed. The house smelled fresh and was clean when we got back. I could not ask for a better pet sitter. Her care made our vacation much more relaxed. The cats were happy too.”
About: I’ve grown up with a labrador retriever who quickly became my live-in best bud! I’ve adored animals ever since. I’ve helped neighbors/friends watch over their dogs/cats and homes, short-term and extended periods of time, either stopping by throughout the day to care for the pet or living in the home while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for an elderly and newly blind dog, and understand each pet has specific needs and care, plus consistency in routine is important when their owners are away from them. I am currently looking for a full/part-time job and am in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of time flexibility in a day-to-day while I am job searching. I care for others pets the same way I’d care for my dog, Mackie. Plenty of quality time, walks and meals based on their usually routine, playtime outside in the mornings and/or afternoon.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and love when caring for pets. I have experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. As a responsible college student and former au pair, I am dependable, attentive, and comfortable managing routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a happy, safe, and stress-free experience for both pets and their families. As a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, I am able to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, and pet sitting during mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on my class schedule. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, and companionship, and I will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away I am a responsible and caring pet owner with two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requirements. In your home, I will respect your space and maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Fair warning: Pets are a little spoiled in my house! 😊 I've cared for animals my entire life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've cared for my own senior dog throughout her final years, large and small breed dogs, rescue kittens, and adult cats, including raising my own two cats since they were kittens. I've trained all of my own pets and understand the importance of consistency. If your pet has specific routines, commands, or training practices you'd like maintained, I'm happy to follow them closely so their progress and structure continue seamlessly while they're in my care. I have a genuine soft spot for animals, and every pet in my care receives the highest quality treatment. Whether your furry friend enjoys treats, walks, playtime, or cuddles, they'll receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care and are sure to have a great time while you're away. The day is dedicated to taking care of the fur babies. I'm available 7 days for check-ins, walks, home visits, and boarding. Let's connect and set up a time! My home is a relaxed space for cats or dogs to roam freely. My community offers a fenced in dog park and in my unit I have plenty of vertical space for your cat to rule over, including 2 cat towers and plenty of enrichment toys. I also have a catio on my balcony for some fresh air. If needed, I will separate my cats from more reactive animals while in my care.
“Natalie was so sweet and warm! She was amazing and patient with my baby. I felt very at peace with her coming over and she sent me so many great photos! She is trustworthy and I can’t wait to have her watch Crispy again.”
About: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's walks, sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.
“Hayley was absolutely fantastic with my dogs! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy and clearly adored her. I highly recommend her and will book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 16. Mostly cats and dogs, not just my own! Baths, feeding, walking, occasional medicine and especially playtime! I have my own business and I’m looking to do this on the side for whoever needs some help for their furry friends! I love animals! So I can’t really host your pet in my house because of my 2 dogs but I’m more than willing to come to yours and help care for your pets.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to follow each dog’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I’ll care for your dog like they’re my own! My schedule is pretty open, allowing me the flexibility to be available almost every day for walking pups and providing them with the exercise and attention they need. I prioritize safety, build trust with pets, and create a comfortable environment whether caring for them in my own home or at the client's home.
About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog her meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.
About: I’ve raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and my love for animals is a big part of who I am. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re safe, loved, and well cared for. As a pet lover, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a strong sense of responsibility to every visit. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s personality, follow their familiar routines, and give them the attention they need—whether that means a playful walk or quiet companionship. With regular photos and updates, my goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a passion for me, and I’m excited to make it a regular part of my week. I’m available seven days a week, with visits and walks scheduled around my other commitments. Whether you need consistent weekly support or occasional help, I’ll work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine and give them the care and attention they deserve. Having raised dogs and cats my entire life, I understand how important familiar routines, patience, and careful attention are to helping pets feel safe. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and playtime, taking time to build trust and notice any changes in your pet’s behavior or comfort. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine—keeping pet areas clean, securing doors and gates, and following your household preferences. I’ll handle keys and access information carefully and send regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are in caring hands.
About: I began pet sitting for neighbors in Boston and continued building my network after moving back to Connecticut. I now care for dogs throughout the year for friends and their families, usually four to five weeks annually. I work fully remote, so pets get steady company and attention throughout the day. I enjoy having animals around and treat them like part of the routine, not an interruption. I have an indoor cat who is fully vaccinated, so dogs are still welcome. If your pet needs a calm home, a reliable schedule, and someone who is present, I am a strong fit. I work fully remote, so pets are with me throughout the day. I start early, which leaves time for morning routines before work, and I take regular breaks for walks and check ins. Evenings are for longer walks, feeding, and downtime. If a pet has specific needs, I adjust my routine to match them. Pets stay in a calm, tidy home where I am present throughout the day. I work fully remote, so dogs get steady company, regular walk breaks, playtime, and a consistent routine. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication needs, and any rules you share. My indoor cat is fully vaccinated and comfortable with visiting dogs. I introduce pets slowly and make sure everyone has their own space. If your dog has specific routines or preferences, I adjust to match them.
About: I will always go above and beyond to make any and all of my pups happy and comfortable. They will always be my top priority. Pet care fits into my schedule part- time perfectly. I can work with you as needed for a vacation. I am flexible. Weekends are widely open. I do not have a fenced in yard. I trained my dog to be an off leash pup. I will use leash at owner requests.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgefield
Lanie exceeded our expectations. From the moment we met her, she listened carefully, took notes, and asked thoughtful questions about our pups’ daily habits. Her natural ease with dogs was obvious, and we felt instantly comfortable. She helped us last minute and treated our dogs with such kindness and attention. Her communication was terrific—updates and photos throughout. She’s truly reliable and cared for our babies as if they were her own.
Mia was excellent. She should be very proud of herself, especially with how active and vocal our larger dog was when she visited for the meet and greet. The dogs look very well taken care of and it would be an honor to book Mia again in the future. Thank you for helping our family while we were away.

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.

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.
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 Ridgefield 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!
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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 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.
