“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 with my pup Boogie! He can take a bit to warm up to people, but Logan made herself available for additional “Meet and Greets” prior to the booking so that Boogie could get used to her. Very attentive and Boogie was in great hands with her!”
“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.”
“Madeline was great for our drop in visits with my two crazy dogs! Georgia is quite the mess but Madeline seemed to have no issues handling her high energy and puppy behavior. Will definitely book with her again :))”
“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!”
About: I'm a dog and cat mom and understand that pets are family. I’ll send pictures from our visits, playtimes, and walks so that you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm available for drop-in visits and walks 7 days a week. So whether you are out of town or having a long day at work you can count on me to take care of your furry friend. Please note, I do not accept drop-ins past 7pm for new clients. I will consider later visits for return clients. I treat your pets like my own. In addition to providing loving company and playtime, I'll ensure they are safe, fed, and have plenty of fresh water. I'll make sure their environment is clean and well maintained. Plus, I'll send pictures and updates from each visit.
About: I’ve had pets (mostly dogs) my whole life. I’ve also cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule and feel it would be a win-win to incorporate some interaction and movement into my days while caring for someone’s pet. I work remote so weekdays are very flexible. Early mornings and lunch time would be most available. Ideally would be caring for pets in/around the Daffin park area. I have 2 indoor cats, so I am not able to have other pets stay at my home. I am happy to take care of other pets in the client’s home.
“Morgan was fantastic! She was incredibly sweet and loving with my babies. Her attention to detail during drop-in visits was impressive—she kept me updated with thoughtful messages and sent the cutest photos! I highly recommend her as a sitter and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!😊”
“Ms. Sara is reliable and she took good care of my cats. She’s very friendly and great at communicating. Thank you for services you provided, definitely will book again in the future.”
“Shelby was amazing! Last minute she agreed to step in and help take care of my dog while I was away. She is on time, checks in, and is very thorough. She communicates everything and will give you many pictures. She truly cares for your animals as if they were her own. With all of this I had the piece of mind knowing my dog was safe and being taken care of properly 10/10 recommend her for your pets.”
“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!”
About: PLEASE READ TO THE VERY END: I have so much love and care to give to your loved ones. Your pet will feel very comfortable in my home and in my care. I have a large fenced-in backyard. I don't have any dogs of my own - so if you have a dog(s) that don't get along with others - they will fit perfectly at my home. Note: I do have a full-time job but I work close to home so it is easy for me to check in during the day. Flea treatment is a must for all dogs. Thank you! (FYI - if you crate your dog I do have one at my home that you can use and I have plenty of bowls and toys!!) I do work full-time - Monday thru Friday - however, I am only 3 miles from my house so running home during the day is no problem. I have a fenced-in yard - and if dogs are required to be crated while I am not home I do have two different size crates - I also have baby gates if need to separate dogs - mostly at feeding time.
“Paige, is a fantastic sitter who is trustworthy and reliable. Her communication skills and adaptability has made her one the best sitters I have worked with. Paige immediately built a bond with my pet and we enjoy having her around.”
“Emily was very reliable and gave us great daily updates. Our cat seemed to be very comfortable and appreciated all the attention she gave him. Emily was also able to give our cat his daily inhaled asthma medication. We will definitely ask her to come back if we are out of town again!”
“Alexandra was amazing with my high energy puppy and my cuddle bug dog. They loved their time with her. She completely put me at ease and made everything super easy so I could enjoy my time away. I'll definitely be calling her again.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
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!
Sage was wonderful! I think one of my cats became best friends with her with how much she got to play and exercise with Sage! She takes amazing photos, communicates well and was very engaging with all the kitties. She made it as easy as possible to be away from the fur babies!
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!
Amberly took good care of our cat, fish, and like, thirty plants. She also alerted me to suspicious activity at the house though thankfully it turned out to be cat mischief and the lawn guys leaving gates open. She is respectful and easy to work with!
Paige was a pleasure to work with. She arrived at the scheduled time for drop-in visits (even though we were flexible about this) and sent cute photos of our cats. She was also very accommodating about the needs of our quite elderly cat (incontinence). Will definitely book with Paige again.

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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
