“Jessica did a fabulous job watching our five dogs. It is not an easy job! She kept us informed and had great communication. Even though she lived quite a distance away, she came to a meet and greet with them. It was a wonderful experience.”
“Our 1 year old dog had a lot of fun with Willow, Maggie’s dog, while we were away. We received pictures everyday and she kept us updated on the little things. She’ll definitely be sitting for us again!”
“Monica was truly incredible and one of the best experiences we’ve ever had with a pet sitter. She stayed in our home for four evenings caring for our 3 dogs, our cat, and even our fish, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent consistent photo and text updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easy to actually relax while we were away. She went above and beyond in so many ways that made a real difference. She washed her dishes, did the hand towels she used, took the time to get our cat’s fountain running again using somewhat tedious directions, and even handled cleaning up some unexpected basement flooding after a major storm. Everything was taken care of thoughtfully and without us having to worry. We came home to a house that looked and smelled incredible. It was spotless, organized, and she paid attention to the smallest details, like setting lights back exactly how we had left them. It genuinely felt like walking into a calm, cared-for space instead of coming home to a to-do list. This experience honestly felt so much better than having a friend or family member help out. There was no guilt, no worrying about being a burden, and no second guessing anything. Monica is clearly experienced and professional, and it shows in how smoothly everything was handled from start to finish. On top of everything else, she is just a genuinely kind, warm, and easy person to communicate with. I was honestly a little sad we didn’t get more time to be home and connect with her because she is such a joy to be around. We tried to make her feel welcome with snacks, cash, and a few small take-home gifts, but it still doesn’t feel like enough compared to the level of care she gave our home and our pets. Monica was truly a gift, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her any chance we get.”
“I could see the love that Kylie had for animals when we first met with her. She came by twice in advance of our trip to get the dogs, especially Miller, comfortable with her. The only thing that keeps me from giving her 5 stars is that except for the first day, I had to initiate any check-ins with her. Once I did that, she sent pictures, updates, etc. She did say her messages were not going through but I would expect, since she had my number, she would send text updates. I hope she gets that resolved, as I would book with her again.”
About: I have had a ton of pets in my life, including my current dog Fred. I am trusted with pet sitting for my neighbors and enjoy it. I work part-time but will definitely be at your place as much as needed. I am free every night past 9pm, so no worries about overnight stays. I can easily crate your dogs if needed. I love to sit and pet my dog for hours on end, so your animal will get all the attention they want.
About: I have taken care of my friends dogs and absolutely love taking care of animals. Enjoy having them around the house. I am very friendly and my dog Poppy gets along with others. I am currently working full-time through the school year. I have my summers off Starting in June. So will have more time in the summer and fall. Will have some in the winter. I have a fenced in yard for your dogs to run and play. I also can crate if needed as well. My back yard is big so plenty of room to run.
“I am so grateful to Sarah for caring for my pack on the second 3 day block that I had been unable to locate a sitter. I wholeheartedly appreciated that she let me know of messes the middle sitter left and was willing to clean it all up! <3. One less thing I had to worry about upon return.”
“Brittany is so wonderful with our doggie. We don’t worry at all when Brittany stays. It’s a great feeling to know your doggie is being taken care of and having a great time.”
About: I truly love animals, and I have real hands-on experience that helps me care for pets of all ages and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, puppies, and large breeds. In my home town, I cared for Great Danes, so big dogs don’t intimidate me at all I’m confident, calm, and know how to handle them safely. Overall, I’m sweet, patient, and truly dedicated to making every pet feel safe and loved while you’re away. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can give pets my full attention and adjust easily to your needs. I’m available throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, feeding, medication, and extra cuddle time. I love staying active, so taking dogs out for walks and playtime naturally fits into my daily routine. My open availability lets me focus on each pet individually and make sure they’re getting the care, love, and consistency they deserve. In my home, I make sure every pet has a safe, comfortable space. I have dog crates available, a fully fenced yard for outdoor time, and I always supervise pets when they’re outside. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications they need. When I care for pets in my client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect and attention to detail. I focus on keeping your pet’s normal routine, giving them affection, play, and structure. I send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.
“Erin did a good job watching my dog and the house. She was clear in communications and made sure she understood my expectations. The house was in the same state I left it and my dog was happy. I would recommend her to others and use her services again.”
“Ashley was such a pleasure to work with. She sent pictures and communicated with me daily, while managing our 2 cats and 2 dogs for the week. Would definitely hire again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 7. Coming from somewhat of a farm life. I have always had a dog. Used to work with dogs that just came into a shelter that is no longer there I love to work with dogs, walk and dog sit. No dog is to small or to big. Love comes in all Sizes! I am available during the week and on weekends. Will work around your schedule if need be. Will come to you so they feel secure in their own home I have a fenced in yard & 3 friendly dogs that are Big Babies. I prefer to do at your home so dogs are in their comfort zone and do not get stressed out
About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.
About: I have had some sort of pet most of my life! I've had birds, fish, hamsters, dogs and cats. I can potty train puppies too!! I can make my schedule flexible to fit the needs of your pet(s). I currently have 2 dogs and a cat at home but my son can take care of them if I need to travel. I will do everything I can to adhere to your current pets schedule such as feeding times and amounts as well as walks and/or yard play time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Ridgeway 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 Ridgeway 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ridgeway 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
