“Shelby is fantastic! Professional, talented, always on in touch via text with photos. Cat Cuddles and I really enjoyed working with Shelby and getting to know her and working with her, she is the best!”
“Veronica was great! We hired her to watch our dogs while we attended a concern. Our dogs took a liking to her right away and she sent us updates when we were at the concert. Thank you Veronica!”
“Lyla did a great job getting to know our timid pup in the short time she was here. Our dog was happy when we got home and the house was in good order. Lyla also has been very prompt and helpful in all of her communications with us, during booking and throughout her stay. We’ll definitely rebook with her!”
“We have been privileged to have Paul sit for our rescue chihuahua, Charlie, multiple times. He and his wife Jan take excellent care of our boy and our home. Indescribable piece of mind knowing Charlie is in his own home, with his favorite pal, Paul. Highly recommend!”
“Rachelle took great care of our active dog, senior cat, and our home while we were out of town. She came over on her own for a pre booking meet and greet, checked in with us regularly while we were away, sent photos and kept us updated, and left the house clean and respected the space. We'd def book her again. Thanks Rachelle!”
“Erika and Cristopher were absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Kailo & Kiara. We received lots of pictures and thoughtful updates every day, which helped us feel completely at ease while traveling. When we came home, the house was immaculately clean and the dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑cared for. They went above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they gave our pups. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, kind, and attentive sitters.”
“Eva did a great job with our dogs, cat, and chickens. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I came home to a clean house and the animals happy. I would definitely use Eva again for future stays!”

“Kelsey was fantastic with my Great Dane puppy. She was patient with my pup's crazy puppy energy and sent lots of photos during the stay. Would absolutely book with Kelsey in the future :)”
About: Hello! I have grown up with animals (dogs, cats, & more) and am currently a paw-rent to an Australian shepherd/cattle dog mix & an orange tabby cat. Our rescue pup came with some pretty severe reactivity issues that we continuously spend time working on and training. This challenge has made me learn and grow so much as a pet parent and in turn, a pet sitter! I am always the designated pet-sitter for friends and family, and I love it! Outside of my own, I have had experience with lazy and chill animals, as well as reactive and/or hyper. I myself love the outdoors and would be happy to bring your fur baby on walks or hikes, short or long. I am also available for long term care and/or home visits. I am comfortable with all sizes and personalities, and have experience with senior (cat) care, and administering oral medication (dog & cat). I am here for you and your pets needs, whatever they may be! I am currently available every day of the week, really any time! (In between full time jobs) So I’m flexible & would be happy to work out anything that would fit your schedule best. Your pets safety is my top priority! Whether I am sitting in your home or just out on a walk or hike, they will be protected.
About: Hi there, my name is Abby and nothing brings me more joy than giving my love and attention to dogs. Bonus points if your dog is a good walker or likes to run. I hope your dog is well trained and ready to play with my friendly 3y/o 55 pound yellow lab. Past dog sitting families I’ve worked for would say I’m responsible, friendly, and trustworthy. I’d say what sets me apart from the rest of the people on this app is my heart and good intentions for a win win relationship between me, you, and your animals. I work from home and walk my dog in the morning and after dinner. I have a fenced backyard to play fetch and enjoy some sunshine. i have a few dog beds around the house. I usually rotate the dogs between inside and outside every couple hours while I work from home.
“Jonathan was great with our cats, chickens, and corgi while we were away for the holiday. Didn't have to worry about anything, and came home to happy pets and a clean house!”
“Jae went above and beyond with watching my dog Cumo. She was extremely affectionate and loving with Cumo - making him feel safe and at home instantly. She was reliable, communicative, and took amazing care of my house, even going out of her way to help with the garden. Would highly recommend!”
“Kelley was excellent with our boy Maverick! I was really nervous leaving him and she made us feel at ease. She sent pictures everyday and he was all smiles and having so much fun. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again in the future 😊”
“Sparkle does a fantastic job caring for my high needs geriatric boxer pitbull. They are trustworthy, very diligent about medical needs, and easy to communicate with.”
“Kat is amazing, she took great care of the beasts and my home. She updates regularly without me needing to check in, which is great cuz I worry a bit but also don’t want to be a bother. One of my dogs has pretty bad separation anxiety so coming home to see both dogs calm and happy with her was fantastic! 10 outta 10, will be using again.”

Veronica always does a great job taking care of Poli and the house. Her communication is good and she always leaves the house clean and orderly. Most importantly, Poli is relaxed and happy when I get home and I never worry about her care with Veronica. Will definitely book with her again.
Krystal was an excellent choice for our dog. She was responsive to all our needs as well as clear on her needs and expectations as a sitter. The updates while we’re gone assured us that our dog was being loved and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Krystal for any care need for your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ridgefield is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $89 per night. On Rover, 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.

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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
