“Chloe is a fantastic sitter for our cats! They have really taken to her, even our shy girl cat. Her daily reports are a welcome part of our mornings when we're away from home. Extremely friendly and reliable, she's the perfect sitter for your animals!”

“Ivonka was a true superstar! We left her with my daughter's two cats and my spicy tuxedo. A lot to handle for 12 days. She has a great cat room and another area if needed. Lots of toys, cat climbers and love. We received videos every 3 days and she answered all questions quickly. We came home a day early and she accommodated us with pick up. The cats were happy and healthy. We will definitely use her in the future!”

“Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 5 years and truly love being around animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets while they’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety and happiness. 🐶 💕 I’m currently in flight training, but other than flying for a few hours a week at the airport, I am available to care for your pets! With a lot of availability every day of the week, I have the flexibility to provide your pets with time and extra special care and attention! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When taking care of a client’s pets, I always follow the owner’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime—routine and genuine care are key! I’m attentive and patient to ensure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to stay with your pet as long as you’d like during visits so they get plenty of attention and TLC! 🤗 I also love sharing regular photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel happy and comfortable while you’re away :)

About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so i'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.

About: I have been a fur mama for 13 years, but have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I love BOTH cats and dogs! I have two of each—along with a turtle, so I am not afraid of caring for aquatic animals. I have experience administering medication both orally and subdermally. So I am not afraid to do either. I would love to help take care of your baby in any way! I currently work Monday-Thursday. I am available all day Fridays and Sundays. And full days every other Saturday, because I work a half day every other. Can make some weeknights work, depending on the situation. I have a fully fenced in yard, so no need to worry about keeping your babies safe. Backyard comes with two super friendly dogs who love playtime with friends!

About: I am an animal lover, through and through. Dogs, cats, hedgehogs, birds… you name it. I treat my guest animals like my own and love on them as much as possible. I enjoy taking cute portraits of the pets in my care and I send lots of photos and written updates. I currently have a female Aussie/Pit mix, currently fostering a female Blue Doberman, and have had Doberman Pinschers in the past from puppies through old age until the rainbow bridge. I’m patient with puppies and elderly animals. I check to see which commands they know and how they have been trained to keep them consistent in my care, and have experience administering medications to them. Before joining Rover, I frequently dog and cat sat for friends and family. I am currently fully remote and based at home. I have a lot of flexibility to accommodate your pet’s schedule and needs. My schedule may change in the future but I will update my info when that happens. I have one female 7 year old Aussie/Pit Mix and occasionally foster Dobermans through Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus. I have a spare bedroom to host guest animals with any bedding and belongings but during the day they are with me, within line of sight in my home. My yard is fenced (4ft) and only two steps to the yard from the door. There are no children living in my home. I live is a quiet neighborhood and can go for walks as needed.

About: I’m a full-time higher education professional with years of experience in positions requiring trust, responsibility, and attention to detail. I provide calm, reliable care while keeping pets in their familiar environment. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect. I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus, taking care of only regular clients, but I’m back on the hunt for new furry friends! Please note that I did change my first name legally a few years back which you may observe in the reviews. I adore dogs but with my busy lifestyle, ownership is not in the cards for me. I believe they are a huge responsibility not to be taken lightly and I honor that by recognizing the limitations in my life. But that's where you come in! I get my snugs, and you get someone who will care for your fur baby as their own fur baby! I’m currently caring for animals in their home. As a military veteran, I understand how stressful it can be to travel often and worry about my little friends at home. Consistency and trust are deeply rooted in the work I do.

We returned again to happy, well-cared for cats who clearly missed Maria's attention and affection. Some of my favourite photos of our kitties have been taken by Maria, she really sees their unique purrsonalities. One of them has special medical needs and we know he's in very good hands with Maria. Thank you again.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Ridgefield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,281 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ridgefield. 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 Ridgefield. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
