“Michelle was so great. She came and did a meet and greet with my dog and I. He's very shy and he warmed up to her so quickly. She did so great with him and put me at ease since this was my first time away from him. He is a happy boy and I'm so happy to have found Michelle! Thank you!”
“Sara was amazing with our three kitties!! She gave them so much love and attention. Plus she was so understanding when we had a mix up with our keys. Amazing communication I definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies!!”
“Sara is just fabulous! She took terrific care of our home and most importantly our kitties while we were on an extended trip. It was the first time we had been away from the beasties for more than a week and we were really concerned about going. After interviewing a few people, Sara came out on top and we are 100 percent convinced we made the right choice. She gave daily detailed updates and extra photos. And best of all the kitties (who are super shy) actually warmed up to her! She followed instructions to the letter but also went above and beyond. We came home to an immaculate house and happy kitties! The above and beyond part, she deep cleaned the entire cat box and kitty water fountain as well as their eating area. Our mail was stacked neatly and the trash bins were brought out and in. I’ll mention as well, I’m extra sensitive to smells and go to excessive lengths to make sure the cat box never smells like pee. I don’t expect perfection upon arrival home in regard to this as I know how particular I am but Sara nailed it! All was clean and tidy and no lingering odor. We will definitely be booking Sara (if we can get her) in the future.”
“To Everybody, Especially My Cat People: Katie cares so deeply for the animals she looks after. She arrived on time, stayed for the allotted amount of time, and played with Anu until she was completely wiped out. She took care of the litter box daily, and maintained the food/water bowls. Thank you, Katie!”
“Amazing, simply amazing. Always responsive, took extremely cute photos. I've never had a sitter with such amazing communication, let me know of anything that was going on including the pet feeder getting unplugged, made sure to give extra food to make up for it. My kitties loved her”
“Morgan is the absolute best! The kindest sitter that I trust completely to take care of my cat. Morgan is such a fantastic communicator and showers pets with love and care. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!”
“Cassandra has taken amazing care of my cat Oliver twice now, and she takes great pictures that show his goofy side and his more handsome side. I’ll definitely continue to contact her first when I need a sitter.”
“Logan was great the kitties loved her and she gave them lots of attention. She was super helpful with fixing my Furbo camera as well. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have grown up my entire life with a household full of dogs and cats, so I know what it takes to care for them and bring them happiness. I have a puppy of my own right now and know how particular I can be about certain things, so any special requests or needs will be met by me. I am an advocate for training and can ensure you I will follow your instructions carefully. I love going on walks and am an active person, no better companion than a pup. I give my undivided attention to each pet and will make sure you feel at ease while you are away. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well as shelter pets through fostering. I am free on the weekends to help take your pet out on a walk or a visit while you are traveling/busy. I enjoy being outside, why not include a furry friend! I will take them on long, but safe walks and provide a lot of water. If I'm visiting a home, I will be sure to always follow the owner's guidelines and make sure I leave the place better than I found it. Everyone will be happy!
“Paige has been nothing but amazing. She exceeds expectations, has amazing communication, and genuinely cares for my pup. I am so happy to have found her and couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Amber is very nice and took great care of our Guinness while we were away for the weekend! She has great communication, made sure he got lots of pets, and sent us lots of pictures!”
“I love Emma! She’s watched my two cats twice now and she makes everything so easy. My girls are always so happy when I get home and the house is very tidy. Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn did a great job taking care of my boy! She came and met him beforehand and he seemed really happy in the pictures she sent. She was right on time and communicated well! She even left us a thank you bag with a new toy and treats!”
“Madeline is so sweet! She took great care of our two dogs and even took the time to clean their feet when it was rainy out to not track dirt inside. We would definitely recommend and use her again in the future!”
“Wow! Mary took absolutely amazing care of our cats. Her reports were detailed, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to read, which made such a difference while we were away. I felt completely at ease knowing she was watching over the boys—they were clearly loved and well cared for. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jessica was amazing! She went the extra mile everyday in taking care of my5 month old kitten. I came home from vacation to a healthy and happy kitten! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet sitting!”

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!
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!

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.

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.
