“Molly was so great again for a second time watching my cat. I appreciate her care and attention, making sure my cat ate and had playtime while I was away. Having Molly as our cat sitter gives me such peace of mind while traveling for work and seeing her updates are highlights of my day while away.”
“Roree did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. I was in need of a last minute dog sitter to let the dogs out, feed them and then get them settled back in for the evening. I appreciated how kind Roree was and how well she got along with my 2 dogs.”
“Our fur babies highly recommend Brandon. We had two day visits in preparation for an upcoming week stay. Brandon is dependable, patient, and just a great guy. Our sheepadoodle doesn’t warm up to strangers very easily. Brandon took special care to gain his trust. I feel confident that our babies and home will be safe while we’re gone. 🐾❤️”
About: I have had dogs for 40 years. I have cared for them from being puppies to 17 years of age. We treat all pets with love and kindness. my Cocker Spaniel, Winni, is loved and cared for and given daily walks. I always feel she has me trained. She is always nice to other animals, even when she sees a bunny in our yard she just wants to look at it instead of chasing it. lol I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I can give medication and take for a daily walk. I always feel animals need more than watching, they need cuddles and affection and someone to talk to them
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life — my mom has always had dogs and my dad has always had cats, so I’ve learned how to care for and connect with all kinds of pets from a young age. Right now, I have a playful kitten of my own, and my mom has two dogs that I help care for whenever I visit. I’m patient, responsible, and always attentive to each pet’s unique routine and personality. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for exactly how their owner would want. You can always count on me for reliable care, consistent updates, and genuine love for every furry friend I look after. Pet care is already a part of my everyday life — I have a kitten at home and spend time with my mom’s dogs regularly, so feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles are built into my routine. My work schedule is flexible enough to allow plenty of time for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. Whether it’s morning visits or evening check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on making them feel comfortable and safe. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and bedtime — so everything feels familiar. I take extra care to keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free, and I always communicate with owners so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. I take pride in following every detail of your pet’s care instructions — from feeding schedules to favorite walks and play routines. In your home, I make sure everything stays tidy and that your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I always provide updates and communication so you know your pets are happy, healthy, and cared for exactly how you’d want.
About: Currently a part-time nurse looking to make a few extra bucks taking care of your fur babies. I am a dog mom, myself, and would love to drop in and take care of them or help them get their daily exercise!! Working part time and schedule can vary. If my calendar says I’m unavailable, please don’t hesitate to still reach out — I may be able to work out a time on that day with you. I try to be as flexible as I can 🐾😊 I can either drop in to check on and feed your pets, or I stay and give them some attention and time to get their energy out. I can also take them out on walks around the neighborhood! I love mixing it up with running/walking, as tolerated by the pups. I have more experience with dogs than cats, but I’m happy to stop in and check on them!🐱
About: I've had family pets my entire childhood, and continue to care for them when my family was away. I've also always had a pet in my own home! I've cared for dogs of all ages, cats of all ages, and various small animals! I'm currently a stay at home mom, and have a relatively flexible schedule. Walks and hikes are something I already enjoy and would love the company of a pup (that isn’t my own). I treat all animals like they're my own! I've taken care of dogs with anxiety, heart conditions, and recovering from surgery. I'm quick to adapt and react, and love giving animals all the attention they deserve!
“Ally is so fantastic! She is very reliable, and takes really cute photos - I can tell that Max has a great time on their walks. I also really appreciate that she asks specific questions like whether or not he has any allergies. It really shows both her knowledge and experience with pets, and how much she cares. I really appreciate the time and attention she spends with my best friend when I can't be home. Thanks Ally!”
About: I currently have two cats but have also had dogs. I’m experienced with big dogs as my last was a great dane/ german shepherd mix. I’m not afraid of the litter box I’m happy to deal with any pet’s idiosyncrasies. I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to play with your puppies and pet your cats! I’’ll be quickly available and can take as much time as your pets need. I will be primarily doing pet drop ins, where I’ll quickly pop in to feed and exercise your pets. I can also take a longer time during any visit if needed.
About: Lifelong animal lover of all shapes and sizes. I have the most experience caring for cats and dogs but have previously cared for and am comfortable with fish, birds, reptiles and small mammals. I regularly pet sit for friends and family and dedicate most of my time caring for my own pets. In my spare time, I volunteer at a local cat shelter. Most of my time is dedicated to caring for my own pampered pets but as well as others. I regularly pet sit for family and friends and on average take care of a handful of them 3-4 times a month. I try to spend my time surrounded by as many animals as possible. I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog. There is a large backyard with enough room for running and multiple rooms available for isolating animals if needed. I always have extra cat and dog supplies.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve cared for and trained pets for as long as I can remember. I’m comfortable with different ages, personalities, energy levels, and routines, including puppies and basic training. I’ve volunteered with animal shelters and Walk for the Animals for multiple years, and I also have experience house and pet sitting for multi-pet households. One included caring for a dog, a bunny, three adult cats, and four kittens at the same time! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. ❤️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to focus on your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, playtime, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I follow your care instructions closely and take time to learn each pet’s personality, boundaries, and needs. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own.
“This is our second time working with Marta and this time we needed her for a last minute drop in visit. Everything went perfectly and the dogs were happy to see her. We really appreciated.all the pictures!”
“I can’t thank Molly enough! This was my first time using Rover, and I was nervous to have a stranger come to my house to check on the pup especially since I was out of town. Molly went above and beyond to put my mind at ease and even sent me pictures of my sweet girl to let me know that she made it and everything was ok. I will definitely be booking with Molly again!”
About: When I was 10 years old, I presented my parents with a powerpoint of why they should get me a dog… it didn’t work. Every day for the next 7 years, I asked them if they had changed their minds yet and it was always a no. When I was 17, they finally said yes! That dog changed my life forever, and eventually we adopted a second dog. Ever since I moved out of my parents house and into my own apartment, I have dreamt of getting a dog of my own. Until that day comes, I would love to take care of and share some love with your dogs. I currently work four to five days a week as a barista, usually from about 8 am until 4:30 pm. My normal schedule is Friday through Tuesday, with Wednesdays and Thursdays off. I am available for dog walks anytime after work on any of these days, and sometimes before work as well. I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedule :) I can provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and will gladly provide regular updates while keeping your home clean and your pet safe and comfortable.
About: Local to Columbia County, I am a lifelong pet lover! I have never been without pets in my life, and have taken care of pets for friends and family many times in the past. I am a cat and dog momma, and have also had chickens, turkeys, ducks, and goats in the past. I am no stranger to the hobby farm life, if you are rural and looking for someone to drop in on the critters. I am reliable and will treat your fur-babies like they are my own, whether it be for drop ins or walks! I am a mom of a toddler and teens. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. Fitting pet care around my work is easy and fun! I am happy to drive to your home to check on your pets multiple times a day, and I am careful with your home and belongings. I clean up after pets, and am happy to sit and love them when they are missing you! I am definitely happy to send pictures and updates as well, I know how nice it is to see your pets when you are away, just to be sure they are happy and healthy!
About: Hi! I’ve always loved animals and grew up helping care for pets, so I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and giving each pet the patience and attention they need. Now that my husband and I have bought our first home, I’m excited to fill it with wagging tails and happy paws. I work from home on East Coast hours, so my afternoons are wide open for exercise, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one care. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel safe and right at home. Working from home gives me the flexibility to fit my day around your pet’s routine. I work East Coast hours, so I start early (5:30am) and finish around 2 PM. Throughout the day, I have time for potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins, and my afternoons are open for walks, companionship, enrichment, and quality time together. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other preferences to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. In my home, they’ll enjoy a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time, a quiet, comfortable environment, and a walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life since I was a baby. I believe pets are a family member they should be loved and respected. I can assure I would take very good care of your furry friend! I like to go beyond expectations to take care of a pet. I’m very active so walks are always fun for me! I’ve volunteer in shelters and I’ve pet sit for family and friends too over the years. Thank you in advance for considering me in this important decision! Let me know if you have any questions for me, I would love to answer. Have a wonderful day! I’m a stay at home mom so I have all the love and time to care for a pet as my own through the day I have a fenced backyard and I like to go on walks and play with them. I am really aware of safety and triggers to keep the pet calm

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgefield
When I had to leave suddenly for an emergency trip, Kelsey stepped in without hesitation and took wonderful care of my dog, Oli. She's responsible and reliable, and she kept me updated the entire time I was away with pictures which gave me so much peace of mind during an already stressful situation. It's clear Kelsey genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. I'd trust her with Oli again in a heartbeat, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dependable, caring pet sitter.
First time using Karalynn and it went so so great! My dogs were so happy and very settled when we got home. Its amazing that they can be in their safe space and have someone come in and make them feel safe while we are gone. Binx cat was playful and friendly while we were gone which not everyone can get from him! Amazing

Vivian has been great with our new puppy, Ruby. She takes her outside to potty, works on some training, gives her love and attention, and been especially helpful with making sure she is clean and comfortable since Ruby has had GI issues. She has really gone above and beyond and we highly recommend her!

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.
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!
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.

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 Meet & Greet .
