“Madelynn took care of my cat Lucien for 19 days. I had never left my cat for so long before and was overly worried, especially about finding a sitter willing to commit. She made me feel at ease my entire trip with really good pictures and videos, stayed on top of litter and other chores, and provided daily play time. Will definitely be booking again next time I leave town. 10/10”
“Super communicative and so easy to work with! Went above and beyond for my old lady baby. As long as he’s available, Cameron is the only one I’d book for future visits.”
“Amy went above and beyond! All of our cat’s needs were met and then some. Furthermore, she’s incredibly understanding, kind, and responsible. The photos we received daily were plentiful and adorable too. Couldn’t have chosen a better person for this job while we were away!”
“Katie is attentive and cared a lot for my pet, Selena. She constantly kept me updated and would always tell if me she would be late. I felt that Selena was in safe while I was away on vacation.”
About: From enormous dogs to disabled cats, I’ve owned them all! A proud shelter pet foster parent and adopter I’ve had 6 dogs 2 cats to call mine. My current furry companions include Lily, a 125lb Dane-Lab mix who loves to play, and Sammy, a one eyed tuxedo cat who gets eye drops (and extra head scratches) everyday. A friend to all, even if they aren’t friends back, I’m comfortable around everyone from the shyest to the most affectionate. I’ve been walking, sitting, boarding, and loving animals for more than half my life and am excited to meet and care for yours now too! A part time college student I’m available absolutely any time I’m not in classes (Monday and Wednesday from 10-2 and Tuesday and Thursday from 1-5). Weekdays, weekends, holidays, overnights, no problem! I’m used to taking care of my own 24/7 and you can expect them same for your own. Coming from big yards and small apartments alike, I’m used to a wide variety of pet care environments. Walks around the city, running around the yard, or even a day trip to pet friendly parks/beaches are all personal favorites, but each pet is different so just let me know what yours need! I’m comfortable with litter, cleaning up messes, and am quick to learn special setups or equipment.
“Ciarra was excellent with my kitties. Even my shy boy was coming out within the first couple of days, and by the end of the week, he was full on playing. She has a kind energy that let them know they were safe!”
“I can’t recommend Emma enough! She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and great at communicating. An emergency happened while I was away, and she rushed over immediately to handle it. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were safe and kept me informed the entire time. Your pets will be in good hands with her! :)”
About: I have grown up and learned how to take care of animals my whole life! I have taken care of my own pets including both cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies, as well as taking care of my neighbor's and friend's fur babies. Since I can't yet get a pet of my own, I would love to take care of yours! I am currently working part time, so I will especially be available for morning and evening visits, with some midday openings available. Let me know what your pet needs, and I can work it into my schedule! I am very active, and I love to take dogs out on long walks! I also don't mind a snuggle sesh :) Depending on the needs of your pet, I make sure to take them out and exercise them as much or as little as they need!
“Mia was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about him. She kept me updated while I was away and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her, which made being away so much easier. I would definitely recommend Mia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to her again!”
“After years of haphazard cat sitting services provided by friends and neighbors and the odd hand here and there, all pass/ fail and hit or miss, we found Rachel here on Rover - which itself is a lovely platform of structure from which to receive and monitor the services provided for your pets once you're off and out-of-pocket - and she has proven to be the absolute ideal definition of what one would want in their pet care services while they are away. Rachel provided timely, conscientious, and intuitive service backed by the check-in, check out process that Rover employs, sending pictures of each animal every day for proof of life lol and to simply see your pets on a regular basis while you're gone. Great communication, HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for these very same reasons and would and will definitely be looking to her for these necessities in the future. Thank you Rachel, you are a reliable diamond in the rough and a pleasure to work with; very straightforward, well spoken, and thorough. For once it was nice to return from being away and not immediately have to police up the house and set everything to rights again, Rachel kept everything in order so well that walking in the door felt like I'd never left, it was that solid how she handled things. A+++++++”
“Savannah did a great job taking care of our dogs while we were away. She was reliable, caring, and made us feel comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’re very happy with her and would definitely recommend her!”
About: I love animals and want to provide safe and fun sitting! My dog Noodle loves company and playing or cuddling with all dogs big or small. I work from home so I will be able to care for your pet at all times. I also love going to the dog park and different adventures depending on pawrents and the specific dogs I have in my care at campnoodle.co I have a fenced yard your dog can go in and out as desired. There are plenty of toys and fresh water at all times. I always am outside with them supervising play time.
About: I’m a makeup artist from Asheville North Carolina! I’ve grown up with pets and have loved them all. From and 100+ pound black lab, to a chihuahua mix, each have left me with so much love and compassion for pets. I can wash, clean after, feed, medicate, walk, play, and love every kind of dog and cat. (Possibly draw them as well 👀). Please reach out, I can’t wait to meet you! I’m currently waiting for classes to begin, so your pets can have my utmost care and attention. I can work late, early, and spend nights easily. I am free Monday-Thursday and some weekends depending on my makeup work. Although I do not offer training, I know how to work with trained and untrained dogs. I can care for senior dogs and know how to handle deaf/blind pets. I will likely request information about your pets social skills and set up a meet and greet for any dogs.
About: I have experience in pet care for 15+ years and currently work for a pet care company in Savannah that I used to manage for! I currently dedicate 100% of my work time to pet care!! Pet care is my full time job and I’m extremely passionate about caring for all kinds of pets!☺️ I am well acquainted with how important timing can be for babies especially those who need to go outside to potty breaks ASAP or have medication needs! I have experience pilling animals and giving injections as needed! I have worked with special needs cats before, and pride myself on befriending even the most difficult babies, though I feel they are only difficult because they need more time to trust people☺️💖
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I started pet sitting at ten years old and absolutely fell in love with providing quality care to other's fur-babies! I have extensive experience in petsitting cats and dogs of all sizes and ages from puppies/kittens to seniors. I have experience with administering medications, as well as experience with dogs with disabilities who just need a little extra TLC! I adore caring for these babies whether it be through walking, playing, or just getting in some snuggles! I am currently a college student with class only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so I have plenty of time during the week and weekend to provide care! I like to start my mornings early, but I can also be a night owl, so I am very flexible with time and am happy to help when I am needed. Although I am in college and cannot provide care in my home, I am more than happy to come over and care for the pets in a clients home! I am fully aware of the fact a new visitor can be nerve wracking or stressful for some pets, so I always take it slow and make sure that your baby is 100% comfortable. All pets are different and some take more time to warm up than others, so I am very patient and perfectly happy to meet your pet where they are. :)
“I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in Andra’s care while I was away for a few days!! She followed my detailed instructions and sent lots of pics to make sure I knew my baby was taken care of!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
Sara is absolutely EXCEPTIONAL and is now the only sitter I trust with my two cats. My kitties loved her (which says a lot because one of them takes weeks to come out of hiding when introduced to new people)! I finally found someone who makes it possible for me to enjoy my vacation without worrying if my cats are okay - I can’t thank you enough Sara, and I can’t recommend you enough!
Alexandra is very communicative and follows directions well. When an issue came up she informed me immediately and did what she could to address it. I appreciated her honesty and how she kept me in the loop. She cares so much about taking care of our girls to the best of her ability.
Absolutely amazing pet sitter! 🥰 My dog is very shy and she became comfortable with her so quickly! She was incredibly attentive, sent me the sweetest pictures, and took amazing care of both my dog and cat. They were both so happy and loved! 💕 I would 100% book with her again!
I can’t recommend Emma enough! She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and great at communicating. An emergency happened while I was away, and she rushed over immediately to handle it. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were safe and kept me informed the entire time. Your pets will be in good hands with her! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Ridgewood is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 168 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ridgewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 92% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
