“Krystal was amazing and we highly recommend her! We booked her for drop in visits with our two cats and she took lots of photos and was very descriptive with her rover cards. She went above and beyond with their food, water, and even brought catnip bubbles that our cat loved!”
“Jennifer was great! She took great care of our cat while we were away and kept us updated. We came home to a happy, well cared for cat. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Breann was great! She took care of my 4 cats for 18 days. They each have a weird habit that makes things interesting but she was able to manage everything very well. Breann is very communicative and reported to me everyday, to include photos of each of them. We came home to happy kitties and vacuumed rugs!! And, in order to make herself available she rearranged her work scheduled. Awesome!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. She went above and beyond taking care of our cats and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Our cats were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we got home. Truly grateful for her help and would absolutely book again.”
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our cat, Artemis. She provided many photos of him and we could tell he was being well taken care of - even when we came back, I think he missed her! We will definitely rebook if we need a cat sitter again.”
“I am very glad we booked Tanaisa to check in on our cats while we were out of town. She was dependable, communicative, and attentive. You can tell she is an animal lover based in the feedback and photos she provided me with daily. We will absolutely book with her again next time we need help with our pets.”
“Nancy went above and beyond to care for our boys while we were away. She earned their trust and ours and we would highly recommend her! Thank you for everything, Nancy! ??⬛?⬛”
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
“I could not possibly say enough words about Kelsey! She was amazing! She stayed at the house and hung out with our two girls (labs) while my husband and I were away. We have also had Kelsey help us out during lunch/potty breaks when we were unable to make it to the house during the day. Kelsey is so sweet and sincere in what she does and how she does it! I highly recommend her! She even came to the house a couple times and chatted with me for a few hours before we initially hired her. After talking with her, I knew she had a sweet and fun-loving personality, which is exactly what we were looking for in our new sitter! ”
“Jennifer did a fantastic job watching my cat, Theo, while I was away for a work trip. She went above and beyond—not just taking care of the basics, but making sure to spend quality time playing and socializing with him so he stayed happy and engaged. I had total peace of mind the entire time I was gone. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for future travel!”
“Zoie checked in on my 2 kitties for feedings, litter box maintenance and play time while I was out of town for 5 days. She let me know when she was in her way and provided feedback and pictures of them. I felt peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. I would definitely book her again!”
“Kai was great with our dogs. He was super attentive and detailed, great at communication, and took great care of our dogs. We will definitely be booking him again in the future.”
About: Hi, I'm Pedro! I'm a proud corgi owner who takes dog care seriously — so seriously that I make my own dog's food from scratch, balanced down to the micronutrients. When I care for your pet, you're getting someone who genuinely understands dogs' needs, from exercise and enrichment to diet and body language. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means consistent availability for midday walks and drop-in visits — no last-minute cancellations because of a shift change. My background is in hospitality and customer service, so clear communication is second nature: expect photo updates, detailed report cards, and quick responses every time. What you can count on from me: I follow your routine and instructions exactly (feeding amounts, medications, leash rules — your dog, your way), I'm attentive to safety on walks (secure harness checks, no off-leash unless you approve it, awareness of hazards), and I treat every pet like my own. I'm also fluent in Portuguese, so I'm happy to communicate in either language. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you're away, I'll make sure they're happy, safe, and loved. I work remotely from home with a flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I'm available for midday walks and drop-in visits on weekdays, with additional availability in the evenings and on weekends. Because I'm not commuting or tied to shift work, I can offer consistent, reliable time slots week after week — and I'm often able to accommodate last-minute requests. Caring for my own corgi is already part of my daily routine, so adding your pup's walk or visit is a seamless part of my schedule, never an afterthought. All care takes place in your home and neighborhood, following your instructions exactly — feeding routines, medications, house rules, and preferred walking routes. On walks, I double-check that harnesses and collars are secure before heading out, keep dogs leashed at all times unless you've approved otherwise, and stay alert to hazards like hot pavement, other dogs, and anything tempting on the ground. During drop-ins, I make sure doors and gates are locked when I leave and your pet is settled and safe. You'll get photos and a detailed update at every visit, so you always know how your pet is doing.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Ridgefield is $20
Pet 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
Hannah did a great job! She took care of our two cats while we were away. She followed all the care instructions, sent pics and spent time with them. We really appreciated her extra effort to get to our more remote area and for giving our cat friends great care.
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ridgefield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
