“Robin was fantastic! She was consistently on-time, and Daisy loved her. She got walks, treats, and lots of love while we were gone. I’d highly recommend her to anyone needing great care for their pets.”

About: Update: I will not be available May 18-25, and Jun 2-14 I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.

About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!

About: I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats in a responsible and consistent way from a young age. My best experience is from my pet Louise who is a pit mix, I learned a lot from this when it comes to handling different behaviors and needs as this was the first animal that was my own and not a family dog. I grew up around both big and small dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I’m also a very active person, so I can keep up with walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise without any issue. I make sure dogs are fed on time and get the attention and structure they need. Overall, I’m reliable, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Im currently working at a job with flexible scheduling. I have a pretty free schedule especially in the mornings and after 1:30pm. I’m off on weekends. Safety, trust, and environment are a big part of how I care for dogs. I always make sure I understand their routine and any boundaries before anything else, so they feel secure with me. I stay aware on walks, keep them on safe routes, and watch their body language so nothing gets out of control. I’ve grown up around dogs so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, and energy levels. Building trust is important to me, so I stay calm, consistent, and patient with them instead of rushing anything. I also make sure their environment feels stable, clean, comfortable, and familiar so they’re not stressed while their owners are away. I pay attention to details like doors, food, water, and anything they could get into just to keep everything safe. Overall, I treat every dog like they’re my responsibility and make sure they feel secure, understood, and cared for.

“She took wonderful care of my Mochi during four days of drop-in visits! She was punctual and sent pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind. She went above and beyond to keep her bathroom areas clean. When she got into the drawers, she even took extra steps to prevent her from getting into them again. Would happily book her again!”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life—from growing up with my sweet chocolate lab, Jessie, to now being a proud cat mom to Sir Purr and Smore. I’ve cared for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior cats and dogs, and I’ve learned so much from the pets of family members and neighbors along the way. For the past few years, I’ve been pet sitting for close family friends, and it’s something I truly love. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, gentle cuddles, or just a reliable routine, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Your furry friends will be treated like family—because to me, they are! I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur babies! I’m available for evenings and overnights on weekdays and available all weekends ! I offer reliable in-home pet care services including drop-ins, overnight stays, playtime, walks, and grooming. While I don’t have a yard, I have my own transportation and am more than happy to come to you. I follow your pet’s routine, provide personalized attention, and ensure a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you're away. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I strive to create a stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend!

About: I come from a family where - and I mean this sincerely - our animals have always been just that: family. (We even have a running joke that grandkids come second to the granddogs and grandcats! Lol) There has never been a time in my life when we haven't had family dogs or I've had a dog of my own, and I adopted my cat Luna (who, to be fair, thinks she's a dog - she and my shihpoo Obie are besties) in 2016 from Pawmetto Lifeline. In addition to my extensive experience with dog ownership/pet ownership in general, I started riding horses at 7 years old and have ridden my entire life since, including the ownership of my own horse through law school. Relatedly, during my time in college as a way to afford riding/competing on our school's dressage team, I also took care of my trainers barn from Thursday-Sunday where there were horses, dogs, and cats to attend to! I absolutely loved it. Animals are my happy place and interactions with them have always been a source of comfort and joy rather than monotony or obligation - the ultimate reciprocal self-care! In summary, as a long-time fur mama myself, I want to emphasize that I am well-acquainted and unfazed with the various unique needs our fur babies of all types may have and am instinctively attuned to these and the importance of having a clear line of communication with the fur parents involved. There is nothing more stressful than not knowing what's going on, and I can assure you that will not be an issue with me! (If you know horses, you know the deal there haha.) I can't wait to treat yours like my own and help you all out! I am a recent law school graduate currently preparing to take the bar in February '24. While I am going through that application process/studying and applying for attorney positions for after the exam, there could not be a better fit with the present flexibility of my schedule than Rover - as both a job and a much-needed mental break! I currently have no time constraints and am more than happy to work with your schedule. My primary focus is communication and clarity regarding the needs of each fur baby. My goal is to truly treat yours as my own and I have no problem with providing updates/communicating via text or phone to the extent that you as a fur parent feel is necessary. Working in the legal profession, where customer service skills, prompt and thorough client communication, and making a point to ask questions when necessary rather than assuming someone's needs or expectations and falling short are a must, I strive to be detail oriented and compassionate in all comparable situations and I view taking care of your fur babies no differently!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ridgeway on Rover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $24 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,040 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ridgeway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
