“Jenny was absolutely wonderful with Amelia! She is so caring, attentive, and genuinely loving with her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing Amelia is in such good hands. She kept us updated, sent us adorable pictures, made sure Amelia was comfortable and settled for the night, and treated her like she was her own. Most importantly, Amelia absolutely loves her, which says everything. You can tell they have already built such a sweet bond. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone we can trust so much with her. We would recommend Jenny without hesitation and will definitely continue using her. Thank you for taking such great care of our little girl! ❤️”
“Richard was fantastic. He wasn’t available for our full trip, but immediately offered to pair up with his girlfriend to cover the full time if we were okay with that while also being clear that he’d understand if we weren’t. They both came over to meet us and our super-senior cat, Mad Eye, ahead of time and were very communicative while we were gone, sending lots of pictures and updates on her eating and medication. They were also very helpful and accommodating when we had an unexpected change in travel plans last minute and very respectful of our space. We’d absolutely use either or both of them again!”
“Gwendolyn did great work house sitting Coco and communicated very well throughout. She left our house in pristine conditions. Thank you Gwendolyn and I look forward to working with you again.”
“We always love having Iris watch our pup, Remy. Remy is always soo excited to see her, jumping up and down and giving puppy kisses. Iris does a great job of sending pictures and videos of Remy so I get to see him having a good time even when I am out and about. She is even super sweet and patient about when I was dealing with terrible traffic and couldn’t home until almost an hour after I had planned to be home. Thank you so much, Iris! I always know Remy is in good hands with you.”
“Asel bonded immediately with River at our meet/greet. River was sad to see her go at the end of her stay. Asel was amiable, professional and positive throughout our trip. She provided regular updates and photos/videos, which were reassuring. We could tell that she was quite engaged with River. She took great care of our apartment during her four-day stay. We hope to have Asel stay with River again on our next trip.”
“Charlie was great! Extremely responsive and receptive with my Puppy, kept us up to date and was a great experience to have dog sittint especially given the tight turnaround. If the opportunity was required I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again”
“This was our 4th time having Anita watch Kirby and Posey. She was flexible with our timing/schedule and was highly communicative. She had to deal with our building's A/C not being on during a heatwave and was able to keep our bulldogs cool and comfortable while maintaining a positive attitude. Anita shares photos/videos of the pups on a daily basis, it's always great to get consistent updates on how the dogs are doing. Anita also does a great job with the eyedrops/medications, we always come back with the dogs in good shape.”
About: I've been taking care of neighbors, family, and friends pets since I was in highschool. Providing feed, play, walks (and more) to all of their furry or feathered friends! I am currently attending a pre-professional dance workshop in nyc, as well as teaching classes at a local studio. My schedule is pretty flexible around these things, so just message me and I will let you know my availability. Caring for your pets in your own home, I am able to offer the assured comfortability of your pets and respectfulness to you're cherished space.
“Anna was great! She sent updates throughout the day, and my dog was happy when I got back home. The apartment was also clean when I came back home - Thanks again, Anna!”
“AWESOME! And great at updating on my pup! My Jax loved her so much!!! So glad I found you and looking forward to having your help always!! Thank you so much for being such a wonderful person to not only my jax but to me as well! THANK YOU 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤”
About: my nickname in school was “snow white”, so i believe it was natural for animals to love me, but that also might be the sense of calmness that i (apparently) possess. i’ll take care of your furry family members and they will be more than pleased with my company :D right now i’m vacationing, so my schedule is pretty flexible. i’ll start my college in fall, so i’m trying to save up some money for my tuition i used to live in my aunt’s house for 3,5 years, so i was a permanent caregiver for her lovely yorkie Luna. i fed her, gave her baths and, obviously, walked her, so i’m pretty familiar with how to take care of a dog
“Would highly recommend Razan. She does a wonderful job looking after my two Maine Coon cats, one of whom requires two medications twice daily. I can see they both love having Razan stay. They look comfortable with her and are often photographed snuggled up to Razan. She also looks after my flat and leaves it so clean and tidy. Really, a lovely sitter. I have booked Razan again at short notice for a few days and she was able to accept, which was really helpful and much appreciated :)”
About: I’ve cared for lot of different dogs from anxious dogs, to the happy high spirited ones. In most cases I’ve found dogs away from home just need a little more attention & a little more patience. I like to set up their routine per owner instructions of course, and keep there life like business as usually if not better. Since I’m on a work from home Flexible schedule, I can dedicate a lot more time to tend to their needs through each day. I have very structured, and tend to be an early riser. I like to run or workout in the morning so typically would bring the dog with me to the park In the am with walks through out the day as I tend to run most errands walking distance. Etc All I ask is your informed me of any allergies, health or non health related problems so I can prepare for their stay. Communication is key.
“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!”
“Stephanie was great! She was professional, attentive, and a good communicator. She was very gentle with our two senior dogs, which was much appreciated. We would have her watch our boys again!”
“Jana was amazing! This was my first time leaving my Cat with a stranger and I was very nervous but she made me feel comfortable from the get go. She was flexible to meet in person and she asked so many questions to ensure she could give the best care to my baby. Throughout my trip she regularly gave me updates on her feeding, behavior and health. She even gave me recommendations for food, treats and a grooming brush. Additionally, she left my apartment cleaner than I would ever have it and she was so communicative the whole time. My cat now meows because she misses her so much! Needless to say, if you’re nervous, Jana is an amazing option for overnight stay.”
“Alicia did a great job watching Ernie for the day. She communicated well beforehand, took pictures and updated me on how he did, and left the apartment the same as when we left. I definitely recommend her and would use her again!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life including cats, dogs, and I had a rabbit once. I’ve helped take care of sick dogs and cats, and have taken care of puppies and kittens. I was also apart of my animal club in high school where I got to donate to animal shelters and interacted with animals in that setting. I have a flexible schedule, so pet care can easily be a regular part of my day and week. I really enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to structure my routine around their needs, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of while their family is away. I care for every pet as if they were my own! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow any feeding, walking, medication, playtime, or bedtime instructions you provide. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
About: I have 4 years of personal pet care experience and 1 year in professional experience with pets, from dog walking to doggy daycares! I’ve dog walked many senior dogs, as well as dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ll be sure to follow any requests needed to bond with your fur baby and make sure they have the best time! I’ve worked with many companies from daycares to walking businesses. But I’ve been a personal dog walker for around a year now and I’d love to form a strong bond with your pups when needed! I shower my dogs with cuddles and loads of pet time at home. Once I can build a special bond with your fur baby I’ll be sure to treat them like my own!

Jean is an incredibly caring and sweet individual. He loves dogs and went out of his way (literally!) to care for our dog in between being a full time teacher. He hears every note about your pet and checks in frequently with videos to make sure everyone is updated. Thank you again Jean!!
Richard was fantastic. He wasn’t available for our full trip, but immediately offered to pair up with his girlfriend to cover the full time if we were okay with that while also being clear that he’d understand if we weren’t.

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Ruby! This wasn’t the first time Alejandra sat Ruby and it won’t be the last! Communication was excellent, with updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Reliable, caring, and a genuine dog whisperer. Highly recommend!
Jenny took wonderful care of our dog and our apartment while we were away. After our meet and greet, we felt confident we could trust her. She asked thoughtful follow-up questions and clearly wanted to understand our dog's routine. She sent us updates every day, so we never had to wonder how things were going. Even our doormen, who knows our dog well and always keeps an eye on him, could tell how happy he was to be with her. We're so glad we trusted Jenny and would absolutely book her again!
Sarah was wonderful with Scooby, as always! She kept me super updated while I was away and sent lots of pictures, which I really appreciated. Scooby seemed so happy and comfortable with her and clearly had a great time. It’s such a peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands with Sarah. I’m always happy to have her look after him and would highly recommend her!
Lawrence took great care of my 6 months old puppy while I was traveling abroad for a week. He was also communicative and quickly responsive whenever I reached out or he had an update. I definitely recommend his services and would gladly book him again in the future.

Genesis was amazing. She took wonderful care of our 5 year-old golden and her communication was stellar. She sent lots of pictures and really spent time playing with Sunny. She clearly loves this work. I will absolutely use her again and have already recommended her to friends.
Vanessa was amazing! My wife and I wanted to go out of town on short notice, and looking on Rover for someone we found Vanessa. She made us feel confident from the moment we met her that our dogs would be in good hands. She followed every instruction we had to the letter, and made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates on our dogs. She was even able to walk all three of them at one time, which is an impressive feat considering they are all over 70 pounds. We will definitely be using Vanessa again, and if you're looking for someone to watch your dogs we couldn't recommend Vanessa more!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
