“Nancy was so phenomenal! She was extremely communicative and sent tons of photo updates. She was also very accommodating to our last minute addition of a fur baby to our reservation. Would absolutely hire her again.”
“Shelby was wonderful! Our dogs and our house were well cared for while we were away. I loved receiving all of the pictures and updates through the weekend as well. One of our dogs even developed a couple of hot spots while we were gone and she helped us treat it from the early stages. Great at communicating and always quick to respond. Will definitely re book in the future if she’s available ☺️”
“Brandon stayed with our senior pups for an overnight trip. He was very communicative and sent photos to let us know how our old boys were doing throughout the stay! It was our first time leaving them and I was nervous to do so, but Brandon’s updates put my mind at ease. He followed all our instructions and gave them their medications. When we returned, the dogs were happy and healthy and our house looked great! Looking forward to having Brandon back for a longer stay.”
“Krystal was so thoughtful and caring with our pups. Both dogs have very different personalities and can be sensitive. She took time out to cater to their individual needs and earn their trust. Krystal was very good with maintaining open communication and check ins throughout the day with pictures. She left our home as good as she came into it, maybe even better. Thanks Krystal!”
“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!”
About: I have been watching my family dogs since I was a kid. looked after childhood german shepard until she was 18 and raised my family basset hound and husky from puppies. trained my family husky during the pandemic. I love dogs and animals and am looking forward to meet so many more :) I am currently only working for my family dogs (no job) so I have plenty of time to work for more dogs part time :) I love dogs and will treat every dog with the same gentleness and loving that I would provide in my own home. I will not let your dog get away with doing something they are not supposed to but of course kindness to your family member is my priority.
“Maureen always takes such great care of our dog and two cats! And always keeps the house very clean. Sweet and keeps us well updated. Will be reaching out again!”
“Frances took care of my girls 🐕🐈⬛ and my home for 2 days/nights while I was away and she was amazing. Our approximity from each other, and work situations made her the perfect fit for me and my pets. I will definitely be hiring her regularly. Frances kept me updated and informed with texts and pictures and followed all of my wishes and the girls’ needs. She went above and beyond. Thank you so much Frances!”
“Roree is amazing! She took fantastic care of our kitty, making sure she was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We would highly recommend Roree to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable house sitter. In fact, we've already booked her for another stay!”
“Mary house sat for us and took care of our two pitbulls while we were on vacation! The house was in great condition when we got home and she sent photos of the dogs while we were away. I would book with her again!”
“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!”
“Wow! Jan and Paul are the dynamic duo of house/ pet-sitting! My partner and I were nervous leaving our two hyper dogs and testy cat for a long weekend, but we had no reason to be. Paul was so attentive and caring, and Jan was so communicative and kind. We are so lucky to have found these two wonderful caregivers. We already booked our second trip and can rest easy knowing our girls will be in great hands. Thank you J + P! See you soon <3”
“Extremely appreciative and pleased with Ingrid's house sitting! She promptly responded to all messages, provided reassuring check-ins, and carefully looked after our neurotic (reactive) Mini Aussie.”
“Maxwell did a great job taking care of my dog and cat while I was out of town. He checked in and asked great questions and left my place very clean when he left! I would absolutely have him pet sit again!”
“Kylie did an amazing job watching my girls!! She took good care of them and provided me with updates whenever I wanted and checked in with me on her own (including sending photos). She left my house immaculate (especially being here 2 weeks) and she is incredibly kind and thoughtful! I highly recommend her for others looking for a pet sitter and will definitely request her when I need a pet sitter in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 6. I grew up with a dog, people we knew had dogs, and we always had at least 1 cat in our care. Animals were what I knew. And still do. I’m intuitive when it comes to your furry child’s needs and currently look over the pets of my family and friend’s while they’re away. I can generally get somewhere after work at around 530pm. I love to walk and can provide daily walks for pets. On the weekends, I can make myself available for all day and care :) I’m in a small new studio so I’d prefer to watch pets at their homes. Many animals feel more at home in their familiar environment, removing the extra anxiety since they may already be stressed without their caregiver. I’m very attentive to your furry child’s needs, with water, food, walks, playtime, basic training etc. :)
“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.”
About: I've been taking care of pups in my free time for three years now, I used to work in a bar and meeting the dogs who come in with their humans created my love for it. Now that I am no longer in the bar industry, I want to do this more full time! I am only employed doing petsitting and looking to love on your pups just like they are my own! I have always loved dogs, and making this my full time job is all I want! I am staying in your home with your dogs whenever you need. Making sure they get all their meals, meds, potty breaks and playtime they would need!
About: I love animals and have been around and cared for them all of my life. I have two dogs of my own and owned a horse ranch for the last 20 years. I now live in a new neighborhood, with a fully fenced yard. I do work during the day so my husband cares for our Rover pets while I am gone. All dogs love him and he is home during the day. I am a very experienced horse owner and can provide care for livestock as well as cats, dogs and birds. I raised Andalusian horses and have been around them most of my life. Pets are my passion, are important and I love to be around them. They make me happy and I would love to pamper your pets! For house sitting clients, I do work from 6-2pm. I am happy to house sit but am gone during those hours. My husband lets the dogs out as needed all day long. He is home all of the time, so we do not leave our boarders alone. Our clients pets interact with our own pets. We cannot take in pets that do not get along with other dogs and cats. Our boarders will sleep with us or on their own bed if one is brought.

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.

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!
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.
