“Lauren took great care of my babies and my house. She sent pictures every day and cleaned before she left. She definitely left the house cleaner than when she arrived. Highly recommend!”
“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”
“Just moved to the area and we were nervouc leaving the dogs for the weekend so soon after moving... But we were put to ease! Communicated very well and my pups loved her! On time, responsive, and reliable. Loved all the updates she sent through the day :)”
“Trish was great and made herself available on short notice to meet and watch our puppy, Ophelia, who absolutely loved her. We really appreciated kindness, disposition, and flexibility. We'll now feel more comfortable going out knowing Ophelia is lovingly cared for.”
“Jade was a wonderful choice for my four day trip. I specifically wanted in-home care that would be more than a five minute visit every 8 hours and Jade was great! She spent lots of time with my dog and checked in with me daily. Setting up the service was great and she communicated well.”
“i will definitely recommend and use Ryan again, he took great care of my dogs, he took detail on what their schedules and needs, my dogs where well taken care of, Ryan was a great help while i was on vacation! 5 stars!”
“Cayla did a great job with our pups! This was our first time using the rover app and letting someone new watch our dogs. She eased our minds by watching them, provided pictures for us and also followed our instructions we left. Our fur babies were well taken care of and I felt comfortable rebooking her for a second time. She was flexible and willing to work with us as well. Book her everyone!”
“Wanda did an excellent job watching our house and three kitties while we were away for five days. She followed their detailed mealtime instructions, played with them, kept them company, and kept us updated about them. Our house was super clean when we got back too! Highly recommend her as a trustworthy communicative cat lover & sitter!”
“Terezie is the absolute best! She took amazing care of my cat and home while I was away and kept me informed on how she was doing the whole time! My cat loved her so much (I think they are best friends now!) and Terezie followed the care instructions exactly. I’m so impressed by Terezie’s level of care and she truly treated my cat as her own!”
“Allie was AMAZING!! We were very careful to find the best for our fur babies and so glad we met Allie. She provided a detailed report at the end of the day and sent so many pics, it was evident she loves animals and takes her work very seriously. Aloe is mature, knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy. She left our home in perfect condition and our pets were very happy and well taken care of while we were away. We will be having her stay with them to help us again soon!”
“Chas was the absolute best!!! She took care of four pets that all can be shy but they had no problems with warming up quickly! She gave lots of positive updates throughout our long trip and we were able to fully relax! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Malinda was great! Kept me updated over the two weeks she watched them. My dogs were super happy and comfortable, including my youngest who can be a nervous with new people.”
“Danielle did an amazing job with our cat and dog. We were on an international trip for close to two weeks and they were in such great hands. Our dog is very dog particular and a bit people particular and she did an amazing job catering to his needs. We were able to enjoy our trip so much more knowing they were so well taken care of! She checked in everyday with pics and to let us know how they were doing.”
“Gillian was responsive, professional, and easy! Sent lots to f pics. House was in perfect condition and the dogs were very well taken care of. Will contact her again for sure.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgeside
JaNiya was awesome. This is the first time that she has kept my sweet puppy and it turned out great. She did everything I asked her to do for my little puppy and kept my house up for me. Very nice young lady and I would highly recommend her. I definitely will be calling her again.
Terezie is the absolute best! She took amazing care of my cat and home while I was away and kept me informed on how she was doing the whole time! My cat loved her so much (I think they are best friends now!) and Terezie followed the care instructions exactly. I’m so impressed by Terezie’s level of care and she truly treated my cat as her own!
Natalie was amazing! We were super nervous with this being the first time having a stranger stay in our house and with Squirrel, but she was so great and communicative! She sent us many updates, kept our home in the tidiest shape, and, most importantly, she gave Squirrel the best care and love. Would 1000% use her again and recommend her to anyone!
Rebooking was a no-brainer because he’s still the best sitter we’ve ever had. Our dogs absolutely love him — the kind of love where they barely notice we’re leaving. He kept us updated with tons of photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and took them on long walks so they could catch up on all their neighborhood “pee-mails.” Always a relief to return to happy pups, even though they’re already plotting our next trip so they can get Jadarius to come back!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ridgeside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ridgeside on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 476 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ridgeside. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Ridgeside 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 Ridgeside 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 Ridgeside 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 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.

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.
