“Meredith is the best! She stayed with our two dogs over Labor Day weekend and brought us so much peace of mind. She sent regular pictures and updates, took special care with our anxious pup, and left the house in better shape than she found it. Highly recommend her for any pup needs!”
“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.”
“Elizabeth was reliable and my baby loved her! She took good care of my home and Kitty for 10 days and went above and beyond to make sure I had a clean home to come home too as well as communicate while I was away! Strongly recommend.”
About: I have had a passion for dogs and lived with them for all my life (30 years!). Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved all animals and dreamed to be a dog trainer. I’ve had runners, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, low-energy, high-energy, you name it. So I’m comfortable with any dog and their special needs such as needing extra play, extra comfort and extra re-directing! I would love to care for your pup(s) while you are away! I’m a full time mom to a little one so as long as your pets are friendly with children, I can do drop ins, walks and day-long, daytime dogsitting as long as the dogsitting does not require me to stay overnight. I can stay as late as 7pm and I can always come back the next morning as early as 7am! If you have a fenced yard, I’ll make sure to get them plenty outside time for play. If no yard, I’m happy to take them for walks. I’ll make sure to clean up after them, refill their water and make sure your home is as you left it, picking up any mess they make while you are away.
“Simone is Loving, Kind and very attentive to our big boy, Okami. She is very respectful of our home and a fantastic communicator with photos and updates of how our pup is doing :) if your looking for someone you can trust, Simone is your gal! Definitely will be working with her again!”
“Bonnie is a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter. Bonnie stayed with our two dogs for several days. She sent lots of pictures and text messages to keep us up to date on our pup's activities. When we returned home, the house was in great shape and the dogs were happy. I'd highly recommend Bonnie!”
“Jackie was amazing with my three boys Louie, Henrie and Artie are all puppies so they can be a handful but she was super attentive, communicative and patient with them! I could tell they had so much fun with her! I will definitely be using her again and would recommend anyone to reach out!”
About: Love taking are of pets! I’ve had experience with caring for pups to seniors. I currently own 2 dogs now that I love so much! I’ve had dogs that have needed medication etc. I’m a teacher with afternoons off and I would love to check-in with your dog in the afternoons after work. Caring for your dog would be fun! I’m also available on weekends for various services. My dogs are crate free throughout the day but can be crated if needed. They love to roam around my home and enjoy walks daily!
“Shelly was amazing house sitting for my 2 cats and dog! She sent me daily pics and updates. She is a true animal lover and really takes extra care and attention in caring for them! We felt very comfortable in knowing our pets were being well taken care of! We feel lucky we found her!”
“I needed a last minute dog sitter and took a chance on Seth. He exceeded all expectations! He took great care of my dog, respected my house, was easy to communicate with, and frequently sent updates. I would recommend Seth and use his services again!”
About: I have always had pets in the home. I have watched a lot of animals over the years & I even make sure the family comes back to a clean home. You wont even know I was there. I currently only work part time from 8 AM - 2 PM so there is plenty of time to play with the dogs/cats. I don't do much on the weekends so I would be at the house most of the time! I live with 2 dogs myself now & I love to cuddle with them & play. I currently do not watch dogs in my own home but would love to come to yours. This also helps so the dogs/cats are comfortable in their own space.
About: Not only have I grown up around dogs my entire life, I was a dog trainer for five years and have experience as a dog groomer as well. Dogs have always had a special place with me and I have been the go to pet sitter for my friends and family. Looking forward to bringing that care to you! I’m currently working full time without a consistent week to week schedule. That being said, if your request is within a month please reach out as I have my schedule 3 weeks in advance and we can discuss if I meet your needs. If it is past 3 weeks out, I have the ability to have some flexibility in my shifts to best suit what is needed! With my background in animal care and dog training, I have experience dealing with all varieties of dogs and cats and I love getting to know them and their unique personalities! My dog, Kai, is very important to me and I know how much trust matters when having someone check in on him and my goal is to be that person for you and your pets!
“We love Rachel! My original plans fell through and she was able to watch my animals on short notice. It was like I never left! They seem happy and stress free when I returned home. Highly recommend!”
“Miles was absolutely AMAZING! Dude and Bunny were so well loved. He took care of them impeccably! Steve and I are overjoyed to have found someone we can trust with our "fur babies." They are 11 now and need a bit more TLC for aging hips and some vision issues. Miles was very communicative, sent pictures and videos, and updated us every morning. When you want to travel without worrying about your beloved 4-legged friends, MILES is SUPERB! Could not have asked for a finer human to sit and stay with our pups!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities — from playful puppies to gentle seniors, energetic adventurers to laid-back cuddlers, and even those who prefer a little space. I’m also experienced with food-aggressive dogs, so if that’s a concern, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be in patient and capable hands. No matter the breed or temperament, I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and I’m in the office Tuesday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. — just 10 minutes from downtown. After work, I always take my dog for a walk, and your pup(s) are more than welcome to join! I’m also completely open and flexible on weekends. I follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting your home, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love — just like they would with you.
“Kelly was so amazing!! She was very communicative and made sure to send me lots of pictures. I am pretty sure she even vacuumed which I was not expecting but so grateful. I would absolutely book with her again and plan on doing!”
About: I’ve been taking care of friends and family members’ pets my whole life. When I walk into a room or see pet owners on the street I greet the dogs first! My friends and family often get jealous because their dogs will want to be near me or sleep in my bed when I’m around. My favorite past time is taking my pooches to the dog park to make new friends and out on walks and hikes in the woods. I love giving animals full love and attention because they really are the best of us and ask so little in return for their unconditional love. I create my own schedule, piecing together my different offerings, so I can give your babies the love and attention they deserve when they need it. I’ll make sure your pets are fed and let out when they need it. I’m very attentive to animals cues and respond accordingly. Beyond the basics of feeding, walking and potty breaks I’ll give your pets the individual love and attention they need.
“Moriah did an amazing job caring for my dog in my home. She was attentive to the needs I detailed and provided excellent care while I was away. She sent regular updates and photographs to keep me updated. She left my home cleaner than she found it. I would highly recommend her for in house dog sitting.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Ridgetop
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,335 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 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.
