“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.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, and even have a golden doodle of my own! I have had plenty of experience taking care of different kinds of dogs since I was 15 for friends and family, and can participate in active activities that include going on walks and play time with pets! I am currently a graduate student with a class schedule that allows me to be available for pet care on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. The services I provide include house sitting, as I commute for classes and am available to spend time with pets after class, and drop by visits. I am also free on weekends, typically Friday- Sunday where I can be flexible with my schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention, care, and companionship they need. I’d love to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pet! When caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific house or pet-care preferences. I will also always make sure to communicate with you regularly with updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.

About: My husband and I both always had at least two dogs growing up, and absolutely love them. Now we have three kids ages 9-14 who absolutely love them too. We don’t have any dogs of our own, and enjoy providing a fun, safe, loving home to our friends’ pups when they travel! I’m currently working a flexible part time job outside of the home and can work my schedule around dogsitting/dog walking so your pups will be well-cared-for! Our three kids are at school all day, so the dogs can have some quiet time, and the kids absolutely love coming home to play! I have a front hall to safely close pups in if we have to leave them alone for a little while, and a spacious yard to walk them in.

About: Hi all! I just recently graduated from Bates college and am looking to pet sit! I’ve been taking care of family dogs and cats my whole life, but started pet sitting for others when I was 13. I am looking to go back to school in the future to get my doctorate in physical therapy, but in the meantime I’ll be home throughout this school year! I currently am working part time as a lifeguard while I am home for the summer but my schedule varies each week so there are no specific days off limits! I am free on both weekdays and weekends, I just ask that you contact me in advance! I can stay in your home to pet sit, or I can make frequent stops to feed them, play with them, and take them out to use the bathroom! I am available for one day gigs or for long term!

About: I have had a dog since I was in the 5th grade and have helped raise it since. Within the past 2 years, I took her to college with me for a month each year and had the best time with her. My former college roommate also got a puppy sophomore year (I lived with her sophomore-senior year), so I have helped raise him, and also watch/take care of him when my roommate is busy. My neighbors have also relied on me to take care of their dog when they are away. I really want to get more professional experience in handling dogs more so I'm able to work at dog and animal shelters/places! I am currently attending graduate school in Fairfield, but will be living at home in Ridgefield for the duration of the program (2+ years). This semester (Fall 2026), my schedule is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 5:00-7:30 PM.Those are my only time constraints and am completely free otherwise! In my home, I treat my pet like she's my child/baby and make sure that all of her needs are met always. I will do the same for my client's pets, as well as making sure the home is treated with the utmost respect. I truly love animals and would be happy to care for any dog.

About: I have had a dog in my family home since I can remember. This generally included occasional walks and feeding, as well as some training for my most recent dog Gracie. I have also taken care of neighbors dogs and cats for years. The main dog I’ve cared for is Patrick for the past 3 years whenever the family is away for long periods, including walks, feeding, and general company for longer periods. Other occasional instance of dog care include family friends’ cats, dogs, bunnies, or ducks. I’m currently a student at Northeastern with classes from 10am-3am. I will be available for afternoon walk or in-house visits. I am available most of the time on weekends with reasonable notice. I will not offer pet care in my home as I live in an apartment with a no-pet policy. When taking care of client’s I follow guidelines of needed action set by the owner to take proper care of the dog.

About: Honoring the joy, energy, and spirit of every dog. Skilled in working with and caring for dogs of all sizes, from giant breeds to toy breeds. Over the past 25+ years, I have shared my life with and cared for a wide variety of dogs, including Newfoundlands, Great Pyrenees, Labrador Retrievers, Chihuahuas, Jack Russell Terriers, and other terrier breeds. This experience has given me a deep appreciation for the unique personalities, temperaments, exercise needs, and communication styles of each dog. My experience includes: • Caring for giant, large, medium, and small breed dogs • Understanding breed-specific behaviors and energy levels • Providing safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog’s pace and needs • Reinforcing basic commands and positive behaviors • Managing multi-dog households • Administering medications and following special care instructions • Supporting senior dogs with patience and gentle attention • Caring for puppies and helping maintain routines and consistency • Recognizing signs of stress, discomfort, or illness • Providing plenty of affection, companionship, and individualized attention I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, understood, and loved. Whether your companion is an energetic adventurer, a gentle giant, a curious puppy, or a senior seeking a slower pace, I strive to provide dependable care while honoring their unique personality and spirit. My goal is to make every walk and visit a positive experience that leaves both dogs and their owners feeling comfortable, confident, and cared for. Availability I currently offer midday walks on weekdays and am available for occasional overnight care. I can also accommodate select early morning and evening walks based on scheduling and availability. Whether your dog needs a midday break, companionship while you’re away, or extra care during an overnight stay, I strive to provide dependable, attentive service tailored to your dog’s routine and needs. My goal is to help your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. For walks and outdoor playtime, dogs will be kept on leash unless they are within a securely fenced area or a pet containment system that has been discussed and approved in advance. Your dog’s safety is always my highest priority. Every dog and family has unique needs, and I am happy to discuss customized care arrangements to ensure your pet remains comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

“Joseph always goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. He is an incredibly good communicator and I know that my dog is being well loved and taken care of under Joseph’s care. My dog is very active and still has lots of puppy energy, but Joseph remains patient with him and makes sure that my dog can safely get his energy out.”

About: I have had dogs, cats, puppies in my life since I was born. I have had the pleasure of training all types of dogs in many different areas. When I was younger my family used to always take trips up to Marthas Vineyard, we always had to leave our dogs at a kennel which we realized later on was not the best thing to do for our dogs. Emotionally/mentally we could tell it had taken a toll on them, so we started leaving them home with Pet Sitters. That was the best decision we had made. I want to be able to provide the same love and care that our pet sitters have provided in the past, but for your pet! Im currently working privately as a Personal Trainer and a Hypnotherapist Practitioner so my schedule is quite flexible. I also offer Reiki for both people and pets (Dogs, Cats, Horses)!!! I don’t typically board pets but would be willing to work with someone if the situation was right. I am also willing and able to crate your pet if thats something you do in your home!

Great care for Toby, as always. Toby was a little skittish yesterday, and John was wonderful about reassuring him and making sure he felt comfortable. He also made sure Toby had his dinner and got a good potty break. Really appreciate the thoughtful care!

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.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ridgefield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ridgefield on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,060 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ridgefield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ridgefield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Ridgefield. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
