“Jungmin did an amazing job taking care of Bobo and our home while we were away! She was incredibly caring, responsible, and attentive to Bobo’s needs. She went above and beyond by helping clean and vacuum the apartment and spending extra time making sure Bobo was comfortable and well cared for. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bobo was in such good hands. I truly appreciate her kindness and dedication, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter. I would definitely book with her again!”

About: Passionate animal enthusiast with 12 years of veterinary experience, beginning in doggy daycare and advancing to veterinary care. I offer safe, compassionate, and dependable pet services. I typically work 40-hour weeks, but I always have plenty of available time to spend with any pet in need. I cherish the love of all furry friends! * I offer daytime house-sitting which allows me to spend as much time as needed with your pet without overnight stay for personal reasons. My Shih Tzu has always received compliments on her friendly behavior and obedience training. She's allowed to roam freely in the home b/c there are no perishable items accessible to her. It’s important to ensure that all fur babies are respected and their needs are met.

“Lauryn is amazing! I just moved to the area and needed to take a trip I couldn't cancel and was in an absolute panic. My 16-year-old cat needs some medications and definitely a compassionate person, and I was so fortunate to find Lauryn. She was absolutely fantastic and very responsible. I'm also very iffy about letting strangers into my house but in this case I didn't need to worry about it at all because Lauryn left the place spotless. I would not hesitate to use her for pet care. I don't think you can find a better person!”

About: While I’ve never had a cat or dog (parental allergies), I’ve always loved them! My neighbors had cats and dogs so growing up I spent a lot of time around them and helped take care of them. I especially enjoy long walks :) I work from home two days a week so my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to spend my free time with furry friends! Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll be attentive to your pets’ needs and ensure they always feel happy, safe, and loved.

“Rachel has been our go-to pet sitter and she is really the best! One of our cats is very shy and usually hides from people but he really likes Rachel!!! We also very appreciate Rachel’s help clean the mess my cats create each time…Rachel sends a lot of photos and prepares very detailed Rover Card which we always look forward to reading when we are away. We are so grateful to have Rachel as our pet sitter and I’m sure the cats feel the same way!”

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love dogs and have had them as part of my family ever since I was a kid. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand that each dog has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also provide enjoyable, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and fun they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, reliable hands. I have a pretty flexible day job, which allows me to easily fit walks, drop-in visits, and pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Because of that flexibility, I’m also available for pet sitting when needed and can provide reliable care and attention throughout the day. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I am very thorough and make sure each pet has everything they need, including food, water, exercise, comfort, and companionship. I pay close attention to their routines and individual needs, and I always aim to keep them happy, safe, and well cared for. I would apply the same level of care, responsibility, and attentiveness to my client’s pets as I do with my own.

About: Hi! I'm a huge animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with furry friends and giving them the attention they deserve. I've cared for dogs of all sizes for friends, so I'm comfortable handling everything from small, energetic pups to larger breeds with different needs and personalities. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's routine—whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while you're away, and I make sure they get plenty of care and affection. I'm available for drop-in visits and dog walks in the Edgewater/Fort Lee, NJ area — weekday evenings after 6pm and all day on weekends. I’m currently working full time but I still try my best to spend as much time with pets as I can. I’m available anytime on weekends and after 6pm on weekdays. I live in a 2 bedroom condo with the cutest cat in the world — my British shorthair his name is Uni. He’s shy so we can only host quiet and gentle cats and dogs at mine so they can have their own spaces.

About: I can't remember a time when I did not have a pet in my life. Probably because there never was such a time! Mostly dogs, but, I have also been a proud cat owner. I have cared for friends' pets, and I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone requires trust. For several decades, I have chosen to adopt my animals from shelters. I can tell you that it has taught me to appreciate that every animal is different, with their own personality, quirks, routines, and needs. Our pets are part of our family. And, yes, they make mistakes at times, create messes, get into places they shouldn't. They're only human, after all! I promise to bring the same patience, care, and affection I show to my animals into every interaction I have with yours. I am available to walk your dog(s) and will be sure to take then on walks as long or short as you recommend, up to 40 minutes. I can stay and play with your pet for a while, as well. I will work within your guidelines and your pet's routine. I am also available for short overnight stays in your house. I am available for walking, playing, feeding, whatever you need. I will come to your home and am available for short overnight stays, if needed. Overnight stays will fall between 8:00 PM and 8:00 AM. I am available weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I will work within your boundaries. You know your pet best, so tell me what they need, whether that's a long walk, extra water after play, specific treats at specific times, or simply making sure they’re comfortable in their crate or free to roam. You tell me what works for your pet, and I’ll follow their routine. They’re your family, and I’m here to help. Please note, short-term overnight stays are available between 8:00 PM - 8:00 AM.

About: I’ve taken care of my sweet senior dog for all of his nearly 18 years. I fully understand that seniors need a little extra love and attention 🩵 I’ve also been the default dog and cat sitter for friends when they have needed it. I have experience giving medicine and eye drops for dogs. I’m also happy to learn any other medical care needs if needed! My little guy passed recently, so I’m just here to give your fur babies some love while you are away 🩵 I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible and can take breaks midday to walk and play. I’m available for boarding most work days and weekends. I live on a quiet street that is great for walks, and there is also an open yard for quick potty breaks. I have no other pets in the home and only take one client at a time, so your pets will have my full attention!

Stephanie took care of my former kitty 3some. After 2 years without any pets I thought of Stephanie again for my 2 18 month old litter mate. She takes care information seriously and has her kitty charges quickly warming up to her. I already have one more assignment for her.

Rachel is fantastic! She took great care of our cat Buddy while we were away for two weeks. Buddy is on a couple of medications, so we were concerned about having a sitter watch over him. Rachel looked like was the perfect person for the job and she was simply awesome. She over-delivered and went above and beyond our expectations. She sent us detailed notes and lots of pictures every time she visited Buddy. Whe consulted with us when needed and made great suggestions to make him more comfortable. We couldn’t be any happier and we will definitely keep booking her in the future.

Sparky is our first fur baby, and for years we relied on a trusted neighbor whenever we were away. When our neighbor recently moved, we were honestly stressed about the thought of finding someone we can trust. After interviewing several candidates across different platforms, we chose Alexa. Not only did she have great experience with her own cats and dogs, but Sparky took an immediate liking to her the very first time they met. Alexa absolutely delivered. She listened carefully to every detail we shared and gave Sparky wonderful care and attention. She is incredibly thoughtful and proactive, too—when Sparky coughed up a hairball on our sofa, she cleaned it right up before we even knew about it. We loved the regular photo updates while we were away, and coming home after two weeks to a happy, healthy Sparky greeting us with a resounding meow meant the world. Thank you, Alexa! We will definitely be reaching out again for future trip.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ridgefield on Rover is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $33 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 27,823 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ridgefield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , 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:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
