“Cindy was so welcoming and nice! I immediately knew Apollo was going to be in great hands. She showed me her backyard where he would be able to run around and hang out. She even sent pictures of Apollo throughout his stay! I highly recommend Cindy and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Stephanie & Devonte were wonderful with my Lisa Nichole. I felt like I could leave town without worry. With a name like Lisa Nichole, she can be a diva sometimes but she loves people and pets that love her. Lisa caused a little hiccup during the visit and they made it all better. I will absolutely use them again if they’ll have us!”
“Shirley & Lee took great care of our pups while we were away for the weekend. They have a great fenced in yard for the dogs to go out in and they were very communicative, sending pictures throughout the stay. We will definitely be booking them for future boarding!”
“Shelby was absolutely amazing with our dog, Charlie! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease. She went above and beyond to make sure Charlie was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. We received thoughtful updates and could tell how much she genuinely cared about him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Charlie clearly had a wonderful time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“Words can not describe how wonderful Jennifer is to the pets she boards. I truly felt at ease knowing my Luna was generously taken care of. She responds daily. And takes pictures of of your dog without being asked to. Definitely will be using again! Thanks Jennifer!”

“I genuinely wouldn’t leave my dog Larry with anyone else. RoseAnn is amazing, so kind and understanding and is clearly so great with animals. Larry loves staying with her, she sent updates on how he was doing, and while I am always very uneasy leaving Larry when I go away on vacations, the second I got to her house to drop him, I was so at ease, because I remembered how well he was taken care of last time. Thank you so much RoseAnn, genuinely so grateful!”
About: I've grown up with dogs and raised them from puppies till they pass on to the rainbow doggy heaven in the sky. I've trained and nursed dogs of all ages. I love animals and look forward to bonding with new pets I am able to watch from friday - sunday along with all major holidays. If there is a long strip in the christmas/thanksgiving holidays. i will also make arrangements to be able to be work from home if needed. The pets will be constantly taken care of, they will not be left alone, will follow all instructions as well as playtime will be always included with bonding times. The dogs happiness is the most important.
“2nd time for our pups and couldn't be happier! I receive daily pictures and updates of how the dogs are doing throughout their stay. Fozzie and Miles are always excited to be there and super tired when they get home. Definitely very comfortable leaving my fur babies in her care.”
About: I have been pet / house sitting for the past 4 years throughout college. I have provided in-home care for dogs with separation anxiety, as well as cared for multiple larger dogs at once. I can make it happen! I currently work part time so afternoons (after 1pm) are almost always available. Mornings would need a week or two notice in advance. This includes weekends as well. I currently live in a studio with my own cat. Smaller dogs are welcome but arrangements would need to be made for a larger dog.
“Nakita and her family were wonderful. She kept me updated with photos and videos of Rosie having a great time. Would definitely use again. Rosie was well loved and cared for in their home!”
“Lacie and her family were absolutely wonderful! I had to leave my baby girl at the last minute, and Lacie was able to easily accommodate my request. She took great care of Rolli, who has never been away from me for any long period of time. If I'm in need of someone to watch my girl again, I will definitely choose Lacie and her wonderful family 🥰”
“Marita was amazing from the start! She is an excellent communicator, accommodating, has a calming spirit and very welcoming! Our dogs are generally anxious, but she easily was able to calm them down and get them into her routine. Her backyard was absolutely perfect for the dogs and they were able to get plenty of exercise! When we picked Coco and Indi up, they were very excited, but have also continued to be more chill since bringing them home! We felt so comfortable and relaxed leaving our dogs with Marita for 12 days! Definitely would reach out to her in the future!”
“This is our second boarding with Kamal and it was a pleasure. Kamal ensures our marshmallow is walked, snuggled and sends lots of updates. I think Bear has made Kamal a part of his pack ♥️”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Ridgewood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ridgewood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ridgewood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgewood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
You and your Ridgewood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
