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 one 2 year old foster female Doberman. I have a spare bedroom to host guests with their crates 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.

Iwonka has been a great help to us while we are adjusting to a new puppy! The days we are all out of the house, we know we can count on her to come take care of our puppy. She provides great feedback, cleans up puppy messes, and has been always available when needed. Thank you so much!!!

About: Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. I have been pet sitting for over 20 years but I'm newer to Rover. I have experience with various animals. Not just the four legged ones. I have cared for aquatic pets and reptiles. I have experience with blind, deaf and disabled animals. I have cared for dogs requiring insulin injections along with many other medications. I'm certified in dog and cat CPR. I am available full time to be in your home. I like the flexibility of being in the home most of my day to allow the freedom for your pet to go out as much as needed. Also, they will get tons of attention! If you're looking for drop in visits, and my schedule says I'm unavailable, please message me here. I'm usually able to fit this into my schedule! I like to follow what the pet's usual routine is. This allows them to feel safe, and stress and anxiety levels go down quickly once they're used to me. This is what I feel is most important when staying with them. My goal is to bond with them and develop trust for any future visits.

About: I am experienced in administering medicinal injections, nail trimming and teeth brushing of larger breeds, lifting 60+ lbs, pad and potty training, and assisting senior and special needs dogs. I currently work remote and spend most of the day with my own pup by my side. We go to the nearby dog park at least weekly, go on two 20-25 minute walks (1mi+) daily, and play regularly throughout the day. He is very friendly and happy to tag along for any walks or play times, if the company is welcomed. I have a large crate available, if needed, and an in ground stake in the front and back yard with 30ft leads attached, allowing for plenty of time outside in shaded and unshaded areas. Food bowls are cleaned after every meal and pet waste is cleaned up after every trip outside.

About: I have lived with and trained multiple dogs and cats for my entire life! I am a massive animal lover and I have cared for disabled, senior, and young dogs! I am flexible with my hours. Some days I can spend the entire day in the house, others I can be there every 2-4 hours, and others I can do 4-8 hours. I work full days in Crystal Lake, but I can make my own hours to suit your needs. I am a very hands-on person. I cater to each dog's needs! Some dogs need lots of physical exercise as well as mental stimulation. I have experience with utilizing training techniques, puzzle toys, and stimulating activities for working breeds or high-energy dogs. I have patience for the senior dogs and have no issue with supporting their body weight and monitoring health.

While my mom was in the hospital, I frantically searched for someone to help let my mom’s dog out. I booked Mackenzie last minute, and she was an angel that we needed in our time of need. She was patient with our last minute requests, accommodating and flexible. She sent many updates and took great care of of my mom’s dog.

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 :)

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.....

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 Drop-In Visits - Ridgefield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,337 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:

  • 95% 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.

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.
