About: I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love for you pets. I've cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and friends and family often trust me with their pets when they're away. I work Monday-Friday full time, but I have flexibility to work from home so my schedule is flexible. I'm happy to arrange my schedule as needed. I am easily adaptable to different environments so I will stick to ground rules set by the client. Strong communicator so will make sure everything goes smoothly.
“We are happy and satisfied with the three days that Keka has been house-sitting our pawlove Hazel. Sure they had quality time playing around the house and outside during their walk. On top of that she got to provide Hazel with some Training that she needed. We appreciate so much the time she spent with our Hazel. We will surely recommend her to our other paw parent friends and surely it won't be the last for Keka & Hazel.”
“Ellie had a great time with Yeisha. They played and cuddled, which is a big deal for my pup, who often takes time to warm up to new people. Looking forward to using Yeisha again soon.”
“Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.”
“Diana does really well with my dog who is very anxious about meeting new people. She keeps me informed about everything my dog does and takes great pictures of my dog. She is very good at taking instructions and takes great care of my dog.”

“I booked a date with Esther and Jay so we could meet each other. I also thought it would give my cat an opportunity to become familiar with them. They arrived exactly on day and time we planned. Esther and Jay are warm and friendly and I found them a joy to have in my home. They asked good questions and I knew they would be wonderful caretakers for my cat. Now if I have to travel, I know my cat and my home will be well looked after.”
“Andrew has been amazing with my dog Luna. He’s very reliable and flexible on both occasions I booked him. She reacted great to him and he sent me plenty of photos and updates. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter or walker on Rover.”
“I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.”
About: I’m currently a mom to a 5 year old chiweenie who I’ve raised since he was 3 months old :) additionally, I’ve fostered dogs of all kinds and have become great at adapting to each dog’s individual needs. From puppies to seniors to special needs dogs, I’ve cared for them all. I am very flexible Friday through Monday. I work from home Mondays and Fridays, and I am home on most weekends and would be happy to care for your pup. My apartment is very safe and generally “proofed” for dogs. I have a crate for my own dog and am happy to crate your dog if needed.
“We'd give 10 stars if that was an option. Alitha did everything we discussed and more. She took care of our Golden Retriever and cat and stayed in our home with them for 10 days. Her daily texts and pictures showed that the animals were happy and well-cared for. It was obvious that she was not only caring for them, but really spending time with them as her messages were always specific to the personalities and actions of each of them. Our dog takes medication daily, and we had complete confidence in Alitha. When we returned, the animals were calm and happy and the house was spotless. We plan to rebook Alitha again and again. The highest of recommendations to this fabulous, sweet, intelligent sitter.”
“Iris is AMAZING! such a great communicator and got back to me on such quick short notice on taking care of Miko the day before and took care of her like she was her own I absolutely recommend her ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This was our first time having Razan watch our cat, and she was fantastic! She is proactive, considerate, and highly communicative. I especially appreciated that she took the time to meet our cat beforehand to learn how to administer his asthma inhaler. While we were away, she was attentive to all his needs and sent daily photos and updates. We returned to a clean and tidy apartment. Thank you so much, Razan!”
About: I have over 2 years of pet care experience. I love animals and not afraid of things get dirty, mess, scary, or all three with your animal.

“Lana is great! She texted us daily updates with pictures and videos, is super neat and organized and I could tell that my cat had a safe and happy time, would definitely recommend booking time with Lana!”
“Gigi is kind, respectful, tidy and great with my pets. I have three of them which can be a handful to look after but she did a great job at looking after them while I was on a business trip. They all seemed to like her, and when I returned she kept my place very tidy and clean. I will arrange a weekly walking service with her in the future so the puppy can let out energy throughout the day. It was a pleasure working with her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgefield
Mo stayed with our senior pup on very short notice when we unexpectedly to travel internationally for a death in the family. She was communicative, flexible, sent lots of pictures, and overall it was a relief to know our sweet boy was in good hands while we were dealing with otherwise difficult circumstances. Would book again!
This was my first time using Noelle to watch both my epileptic cat and my new kitten, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She stayed at my house for the weekend since my cat, RAMMY, needs medication three times a day. Before my trip, Noelle came over so we could go through everything together, including RAMMY’s medication routine. As a self-proclaimed paranoid cat mom, I told her I really appreciate updates, especially since it’s so important that RAMMY gets his medicine on time. She went above and beyond by letting me know every time he received his medication, along with sending pictures and little updates throughout the weekend so I knew both cats were doing well. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Noelle to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate pet sitter, and I’m so grateful for all of her help!
Francine took great care of our senior dog while we were out of town. She was very accommodating of Paisley’s needs and energy level and mirrored our day to day lifestyle very well! Paisley was in great spirits when we got home which is always reassuring after being away!
Cammie was amazing. She came to meet my pup in advance and took great care of her. Normally Tilly is stressed when I leave but she was completely at ease when I got back and my apartment was probably tidier when I got back than when I left! Recommend Cammie 100%.
She was great! Our dog Jack is a 60lb Lab and he can be picky with who he likes to be around. Ruby came over for a meet and greet the night before. She was super friendly and she gave Jack some treats to get him to calm down quickly. She asked us our preferences and watched our dog for about a week and stayed at our apartment. She left everything very clean and sent us pictures every day. We highly recommend and would work with her again!
Martine was so helpful with our little guy, who has separation anxiety and needed a “babysitter” for the morning today. She helped him feel at ease right away, and he quickly settled in with her. We appreciated that she sent us pics and an update soon after we left showing how content he was to hang out with her! Highly recommend Martine!
Ody did four nights of housesitting for our 3-year-old yellow lab, Tilly. Ody was great to work with, super responsive, and obviously very experienced. And all of the delightful photos and videos we received while traveling showed that Tilly and Ody had a really fun time together!
Lila was absolutely wonderful with Pepper! She took great care of her, kept me updated, and made sure Pepper had plenty of company and attention while I was away. I came home to a very happy and relaxed cat, which says everything. Lila was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I’m so grateful for her help and would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!
Allen was very patient with Major (as was Bean, Allen’s Goldendoodle). He achieved what I thought was impossible: he tired my boy out! They spent a lot of time outside (taking him for walks and bike rides) and quality cuddle times. When my flight was delayed, Allen was very flexible about staying late until I arrived. For my first time leaving Major, he was in great hands with Allen. I got the pics and vids to prove it!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ridgefield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ridgefield on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 19,119 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ridgefield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ridgefield walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ridgefield maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
