“Amanda took great care of our dogs while we were on vacation. She sent regular updates and responded quickly to comments. We came back to happy dogs and a great looking house! We are so pleased with her care.”
“Our pups had a safe and fun week with Shelby. She made sure they were fed, exercised and got lots of love and cuddle time. Our youngest pup who is still pretty shy with new people warmed up to Shelby very quickly.”
“Paula was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover, so she was very patient with us, answering all of our questions and coming over for a meet and greet. She regularly kept us updated with the most adorable photos of our kitties 🐾 We felt safe having her in our home (plus she cleaned before leaving!). We 100% will book Paula again 💖”
“Denver was great, and we will definitely be reaching out to him in the future. He took pictures, gave updates, and made sure the dogs weren’t chewing up anything they weren’t supposed to. When we got home, the dogs were all relaxed and happy. Thank you, Denver!”
“Ashley was kind, responsive, and took great care of my animals while house sitting. She went above and beyond with making sure the house was in good shape before I got back which I greatly appreciated. Would gladly work with her again!”
“Sophie immediately put my dogs at ease. Not only did she make sure their basic needs were met, she made sure they were thriving. I was a little worried one of them was going to trade me in for her. 🤣 she was also fantastic at communicating with me through out her stay, sending a lot of pics and asking questions/sending status updates. Sophie will be my go-to pet sitter from here on out!”
“I’m so impressed with the way Kayla took care of my babies. She not only played with them. She snuggled with them treated them as if they were her own. That is not an easy task because I have six dogs and three chickens but she did everything they all needed Made sure they knew they were loved and kept my house spotless. Another thing that’s not an easy task. I would recommend Kayla to anyone that wants their babies taken care of in a loving and caring manner.”
“Sean did a wonderful job and treated the boys so good. Our dogs are a little difficult and one of them is very shy. Sean was able to create a quick bond with him and they loved him! Will be using him again.”
“Josh was an absolute life saver. We had a Dog Sitter (non rover) that was not coming to take care of the dogs. I messaged Josh the night before and he dropped everything to immediately go and take care of the dogs. He cleaned up everything and put them at ease. They were frantic when he got there after being left alone for so long and he calmed them down. Hes a very professional and takes the health and safety of your animals very seriously. Going out of town and leaving the dogs at home is very stressful and having someone that goes above and beyond to make you feel at ease is very rare. Highly recommend !”
“Madelyn was communicative, giving daily updates about River while I was gone. She took her on lots of walks and it seems my dog really got comfortable with her and cuddled a lot. I also came home to a clean house and she was respectful of my space while she was there! I am excited to use Madelyn again in the future.”
“Kenneth was great! He was extremely professional and always responded to messages quickly. Our pets immediately liked him so we knew we had nothing to worry about. Our home was in perfect shape when we came back from our trip. We will definitely use Kenneth again for any future sitting needs.”
“Elyssa stayed with our dog Elle for five nights in our home. We got frequent updates and came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Elyssa was very responsive and it was a great experience for us. Highly recommend - thanks Elyssa!”
“We had a lovely experience with Charity as our dog sitter! She stayed at our house for two nights and spent most of her time there keeping Bailey company, which gave us real peace of mind. Bailey seemed so happy and relaxed when we got home, and it was clear she’d been well looked after. We also really appreciated the regular photo updates and how easy she was to communicate with throughout our trip. Charity left the house spotless too. We’d happily have her back to look after Bailey again and would definitely recommend her!”
“This was our first time ever using Rover, and to say we were nervous would be an understatement. After meeting Caitlyn, though, we immediately felt at ease. She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We have two dachshunds with very different personalities. Newton is outgoing, but Augustus is much more cautious and takes time to warm up to new people. Caitlyn respected his space from the very beginning, and before long he was curled up next to her in bed! Seeing him trust someone outside of our family meant everything to us. Throughout our trip she kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious our boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. We would absolutely trust Caitlyn with Augustus and Newton again and will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boys! ❤️🐾”
“Brittany took excellent care of our house and pets while we were out of town. I was very impressed by her professionalism and communication while we were away. We came home to a spotless house and very happy animals. She went above and beyond and we’re looking forward to having her back.”
“My partner and I are first-time dog owners, and Tavin was our first dog sitter booked through this app, so naturally we were a little nervous. However, Tavin was communicative, easygoing, and attentive to our pup’s needs right from the start. He stayed overnight with our dog, sent us pictures and updates, responded promptly, and left the house just as clean as he found it. We will definitely be booking Tavin again and highly recommend him to anyone considering his services!”
About: I've lived with pets my entire life, so I understand the importance of caring for your furry friends. I currently care for three cats of my own, and look after my mother's dog when she leaves the house. I plan my own schedule through a delivery job, so I am available at most times to care for your pets! Excluding Sunday evenings and Monday mornings, I am readily available to help. I have a large fenced-in yard for dogs to run and play. My mother's dog lives at my house, so I can either keep them separated or let them play together depending on your dog's preferences! I can also crate your dog inside. I keep a baby gate at my master bedroom door so that dogs cannot access my three cats and no one gets hurt!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ridgetop. 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 Ridgetop 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 Ridgetop 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 Ridgetop 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.
