“Sara is very responsive, was on time and made sure we know how our fur babies are. This was our first walk with Sara and then looking forward to her pet sitting in the coming weeks for us. Will be using her as often as possible!”
“Sara is amazing! She took the time to give detailed messages with every drop-in and the cutest pictures. It’s not easy leaving your pets at home while you’re away but knowing they’re in good hands makes it a little better. I can’t wait to use Sara again in the future!”

“Saige was a lifesaver for us when we needed a second cat sitter! She was great at communication and sent great photos of our fur kids. It was a huge comfort to know that someone was only a message away to assure me that the cats were fine so we could enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Saige and we will be hiring her again on our next vacation!”
“Eli took amazing care of my cat and dog while I was out of town! He went above and beyond to make sure both they were well taken care of and happy. His communication and photos were excellent, and I had zero anxiety about being away from my pets for days, knowing he was taking care of them. He was even available to extend visits after I unexpectedly was delayed for a day. I won’t hesitate to contact Eli again next time I go out out of town!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
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!
Madeline was exactly what I had hoped for! She went the extra mile taking care of my kitties and even watered my pants for me during the hot summer days. I couldn’t be more happy with the experience and her amazing care and kindness. I couldn’t have done this trip without her.
Shelby is an amazing pet and home sitter! She recently watched my place and my incredibly shy cats, and the experience was flawless. Shelby went above and beyond to make sure my cats felt safe and secure, and her communication throughout the entire stay was fantastic. It is rare to find someone who takes such wonderful care of both your home and a timid pets. Professional, trustworthy, and kind—5 stars all around!
Awesome Sitter! Austin is top tier! From the pre-visit when he took time to get to know Benny before the schedule visits and how well they bonded, I was sure he would be the right choice. Austin helped reassure Neal and I about Benny care with photos and texts before, during and after each visit. This was something that had been lacking in previous pet care givers. I never had to worry and Austin quickly replied to any question of Benny’s care because this was Benny’s first Rover experience. Needless to say, we were not let down on any level of care. Thank you Austin. Now I truly know why you are so sought after in the pet care arena!
Katherine was so great! She was very attentive to every detail of the instructions that I left, and was extremely thorough. Very pleasant to communicate with, and is very knowledgeable about all sorts of animals. I felt very comfortable having her take care of our animals while we were away. Thanks again!
Elli took such wonderful care of our cats while we were away for the holidays, and we couldn’t be more grateful. He was incredibly communicative and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. One of our cats has special medical needs, and Elli was so attentive and thoughtful in caring for her. If he noticed anything that could be a concern or had a question, he reached out right away, which truly showed how much he cared about their well-being. He was also very accommodating with a few last-minute changes, always responsive, flexible, and kind throughout the entire process. Coming home to a clean and tidy house was fab! It’s clear Elli genuinely cares for the pets he watches, and we felt our cats were in loving, capable hands the whole time. We would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ridgewood on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgewood. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
