Alonnie is great! She's a great communicator and sent plenty of pictures of our fur babies while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and we will be booking with her again.

Sydney did a great job dropping in on our pups, walking them and feeding them on time as scheduled. When we are in the area again would not hesitate to use her.

Melissa was a lifesaver! We were already out of town when our planned pup-sitter had to unexpectedly cancel the morning of! I had never used Rover but had no other options and I’m just so glad I did! I requested an immediate visit and Melissa was right on it! Within the hour I had pics of my doggo living her best life and the text communication was beyond what I could’ve imagined. I was updated when she accepted our request, when she was on her way, multiple times while she was here during her 30 minute visit, and when she was heading out. I was so at peace knowing my girl was being loved on and taken care of even by a complete stranger who I just felt so comfortable with from the very beginning. Will absolutely request Melissa’s services again! So so grateful!

Nakita was wonderful with my dog Hanzo during Christmas. She was kind, attentive, and treated him like her own. She made sure he was walked, fed on time, and well cared for. Her communication was great, and she was always punctual and reliable. I had total peace of mind and will definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommended!

About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I currently have a 7-year-old toy poodle named Winston who I trained myself, so I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement. Beyond everyday care, I have hands-on experience with more specialized needs. I cared for a pregnant dog, assisted during birth, and helped raise the mother and her puppies until they went to their forever homes. I’ve also cared for my own senior poodle who had diabetes, so I’m comfortable supporting dogs who need extra attention, routine, and gentle care. I regularly dog sit for friends and family, and I treat every dog like my own with attentiveness, love, and structure. I’m very active and walk at least 3 miles a day with my dog, so whether your pup needs a high energy walk or a steady, consistent routine, I’m happy to match their pace. I work fully remote, which allows pet care to fit seamlessly into my daily routine. While my mornings occasionally include meetings, I’m otherwise flexible and just need to be available by phone for work. I’m consistently available on weekdays between 10am and 5pm for walks and drop-in visits, with some flexibility outside those hours when needed. Working from home also allows me to be responsive, punctual, and communicative so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands. I provide care exclusively in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. During walks and drop-in visits, your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and leash/harness preferences. I double-check doors, gates, and locks before leaving and make sure your pet is safely secured at all times. You can expect detailed updates and photos after each visit so you feel confident and informed. I treat every home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.

About: Growing up, I've had animals that range from a teeny goldfish to a German Shepherd that was aptly named "Bear". I've been trusted watching not only my family's fur babies, but also those of my friends, neighbors, and anyone else who needs a helping hand. I've been caring for animals my whole life, and started offering animal walking/ sitting services as of 2 years ago. As an owner of two dogs and one cat myself, all with different personalities, I'm confident I can be a sitter you trust! I currently work from home and am available anytime with notice! Whether it's for a quick drop in or an overnight stay, I'm willing to be flexible and help make your busy days easier. I am well experienced in dogs and cats of all behaviors. Whether they are couch potatoes or feisty, I treat every animal with respect and care. I can crate animals, provide shots/pills, and make sure any other of their needs are met to keep them safe.

About: Growing up my household was always blessed with multiple animals. Some of my best childhood memories revolved around my dogs. I had a German Shepherd, a border collie, a Rottweiler, and a couple of rescue pups. My childhood gave me an appreciation for the intelligence and love that dogs can show. I'll admit large bois hold a special place in my heart but there's room for all sizes! I currently work part-time as Coach in fitness. I teach classes early morning 5-9 and late in the evening 3-8, So I am available outside of those classes. I am generally completely available during the weekends! I am very active, I have a lots of stamina and strength to keep up with the pups! I am also very health conscious :)

About: I have taken care of 2-4 dogs since I was 10 years old. Being attentive and making my dogs feel comfortable is very important to me. They’re more than pets they’re family! I have taken care of my two dogs everyday and have since they were both puppies. Now that I am not at home with them anymore I am looking to apply that love and attention to someone else’s great pet! Properly taking care of pets to me means making sure they they get what they need; food, water, affection, time outdoors, walks, and lots of love.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for many years and have experience with both large and small breeds. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive to your pet’s needs. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing lots of love and companionship. I have experience caring for energetic dogs, senior dogs, and pets that require extra attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away, and I’ll treat them like part of my own family. I’m available to take care of your pups on weekends. I can also provide house sitting on weekends and throughout the week. Additionally, I can take your pup on a 30 minute walk through the day. To provide safety while staying in a client’s home, I keep doors and windows locked, follow all care instructions, maintain the home’s security, monitor the pets closely, and immediately report any emergencies or concerns to the owner.

About: Pets are family, and I understand how much trust it takes to place their safety and well-being in someone else’s hands. My dog is my everything, and he has his own unique quirks and special accommodations, so I know firsthand that pet care is never one-size-fits-all. I will take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, preferences, and individual needs while carefully listening to your requests. My goal is to care for your pet the way you would, whether that means extra patience, a favorite walking route, a specific feeding routine, special accommodations, or plenty of cuddles and reassurance! I will treat your pet like one of my own and provide warm, attentive care that helps both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I work full time during the week, so pet care fits best into my evenings and weekends, when I can be fully present and give each pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for weekend walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I plan my schedule carefully so I never overcommit. Caring for my own dog is already an important part of my daily routine, so walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of love come naturally to me! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routines. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions or accommodations they may need. I will treat your home with respect and care for your pet as closely as possible to the way you would. This includes providing meals and fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection based on your pet’s individual preferences. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with. Her visits are well documented with cute pics and detailed information about the visit. Her comfortability level with the bully breed was a huge plus! I highly recommend Shannon's services. Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ridgeland on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .

As of September 2026, there are 912 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ridgeland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Ridgeland 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgeland. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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 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.
