“Madelynn did a fabulous job walking our dog in such a pinch. We had a quick phone call to sort out the details and then she headed over there shortly after. We appreciated her flexibility on such short notice!”
About: Caring for animals has never felt like a job to me, it’s something I’ve been passionate about my entire life! I have had 10 different cats throughout my life, and lived with 4 large dogs. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me that every animal has a unique personality, and I love taking the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Before joining Rover at the beginning of 2026, I built experience pet sitting through ........ from 2022-2024 caring for both children and animals. I am fully insured through PCI (Pet Care Insurance) to protect both myself and your pets. I believe professionalism is just as important as compassion, so you can always count on reliable communication, dependable care, and respect for both your home and your pets. I have over eight years of experience caring for large-breed and energetic dogs, as well as cats, birds, and aquatic pets. I’m experienced in administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and I’m Animal CPR & First Aid certified. I am also currently in the process of completing the GoodPup dog training program! I always aim to provide your babies the same level of care I’d want for my own pets. If you feel I may be a good fit for your family, please consider reading my business policies below. If you have any questions about these policies at any time please reach out! POLICIES •Kittens & Puppies (under 1 year old) are subjected to the Puppy care rate as listed in services. •In case of emergency, you understand that by signing the Rover agreement you hereby authorize your Service Provider, your emergency contact, and/or Rover to obtain and authorize the provision of veterinary care for your pet if you cannot be reached to authorize care yourself. (section 2.8) •By confirming a proposed booking, you agree to the cancellation policy of THREE DAYS. •All animals over six months must be spayed/neutered. •If your pet is sick, please inform me as soon as possible. This helps me assess if I would be a good fit! At the moment, I do Rover full-time and I am currently offering same day bookings. I do mainly drop ins and walks, but occasionally can complete housesitting services. For requests not listed under my availability, please message me as I may have flexibility to make appointments! I’m located in Midtown Savannah and am happy to travel anywhere in the Savannah area! I serve the surrounding areas, including Tybee, Pooler, & Georgetown. Though I typically keep my commute under 30 minutes, I may be able to accommodate requests further away. Please note that a small long-range distance fee may apply. I know leaving your pets can be tough, so I make it a priority to keep you updated with lots of photos and clear communication while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and always do my best to leave it just as I found it, so you can come home to a clean house and happy, loved pets. 🐾
“Shelby is super reliable, friendly, and always going above and beyond to make sure my dog feels safe and comfortable with her! She even brought her dog to play with mine, knowing that my dog lovessss to play with other dogs his size. I will be continuing to book her services!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes and in my adult life have lived with two adorable kitties for years now. I look forward to giving your furry children plenty of love, attention, and exercise - whatever’s needed! Pet care fits into my daily afternoon schedule because of the flexibility my job provides. I’m available to walk your dog in the afternoon/night or check on your cats to make sure they’re good to go! In my home our two cats (Garbo and Ziggy) are always being asked if they’re good boys and getting lots of pets and kisses and cuddles to make sure they’re know they’re as special as they are
“Jessie was great! She got our pup out for walks during the hottest part of the summer and was able to read when our dog was ready to end the walk. Would totally recommend!”
“Bianca saved the day. I needed a sitter at the last minute. She swooped in and did a wonderful job. I will definitely hire her again. My dogs were so much happier when we got home compare to how upset they tend to appear when I pick them up from Kennel.”
About: While I have four cats, I regularly pet sit for friends' doggos. I love walking (or running if that's something your dog enjoys), and I have experience with pets that need extra care (medication, vet visits, etc). I'm an amateur photographer, so I'll always provide Insta-ready photo updates on your pets. I am a remote worker with flexible hours, so I'm able to accommodate most schedules. I can provide overnight care for pets, but I may need to stop by and visit my own kitties for multi-day requests. I'll bring toys and treats if requested, and I'll provide plenty of playtime for your pets. My car is pet-friendly, so trips to local parks (Forsyth, Daffin, Lake Mayer) are always on the table.
“Kaitlyn is an awesome dog walker, Little Teddy gets super excited to see her and go on his walks and has his treats. Kaitlyn is punctual, kind and cheerful, definitely recommend.”
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!
“Best of the best! I can’t recommend Eli enough. I just moved to a new city and I am so relieved to find someone I can trust with my 4 animals. My dogs absolutely love him, all Rover cards were sent with thorough detail and right on time. Eli went above and beyond and even spent extra time with my animals to keep them company. The description in Eli’s profile describes his level of service perfectly, you can tell he truly cares and loves animals. Thank you, Eli.”
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.
About: I’ve grown up having 4 dogs so I’m familiar with caring for them. About 2 years ago I got a puppy and have also dog sat for puppy’s before so I’m very comfortable with young dogs. I am also very good with caring for older dogs, as I have dog sat for a deaf dog. I go to SCAD but have plenty of time during my weekdays to stop by and walk dogs. I’m very free on the weekends and am able to dog sit in-home on the weekends! I don’t have the availability to bring a dog to my place but I am happy to care for a pup in their own home, and am comfortable putting them in a crate if required.
About: Hi, I’m Toccara! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds like dogs, cats, birds, bunnies. I have officially been pet sitting since I was 16 and have also been working at a dog daycare for the past four months, where gained lots of experience with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am currently working part-time at my job. On days that I am off from work I usually have a very open schedule past 10am and can always make discussion on what you prefer!! When caring for pets in my home I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I pay attention to their individual needs and personalities. I treat every dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of affection and care. I am gentle, patient, and attentive and have especially learned these things from working with dogs. and would never do anything to harm an animal. Working at a dog daycare also helped me learn about different sickness and what to look out for dogs when something isn’t right or if they need medical attention.
About: Hi, I’m Melanie! I grew up caring for dogs and have continued building hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. In college, I became a sitter for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, where I helped care for and support the training and daily routine of a guide dog in training. More recently, I’ve provided independent pet-sitting care for multiple dogs at once. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, senior-dog care, oral medication, and keeping pets on their normal routines while their owners are away. My availability is currently open, and I’m happy to coordinate drop-ins, walks, and other services when I’m available and always communicate clearly about scheduling. I’m attentive, dependable, and careful to follow each owner’s instructions closely because I know every pet has their own routine and personality. I make an effort to give each pet individual attention, keep them active and comfortable, and provide updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. I also take seriously the trust involved in caring for pets in someone else’s home. I’m respectful of clients’ spaces, follow household instructions, and leave things as I found them. For everyone’s safety, all dogs must be up to date on vaccinations/flea & tick treatment.
About: I've had a Yorkie Terrier Mix (Tico) since I was about eight years old and would consistently take care of him while home. My tasks consist of frequent walks to ensure fitness, meals twice a day, a snack or two if he's being good, and making sure he looks handsome and is clean. I would also frequently take care of local friends pets and homes while away on vacation! I grew up taking of my dog Tico since I was about 8 years old and have taken up that responsibility since then! Ever since moving away I’ve missed getting to spend time with furbabies! If hired for services, I will ensure that I will take care of your home and pet as I would mine. I know as a furry friend lover myself, I want to make sure my pet is not only safe but happy while being taken care of.
About: I’m the best pet lover for the job I’ll take well care of your your pet with much love and care I’m excited to be apart of the family I’m working Uber eats and other gigs so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pet with love as if they were my baby I will take care of your by working them in the dog park keeping them fully on a leash enjoying every moment of it thank you

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
Jessie was such a pleasure!!! I came to Savannah for a weekend getaway with my parents and needed a dog walker. She did a meet and greet with us and then took my dogs for a walk the next day and gave me a thorough review on them. Such a sweet lady and I could tell she loved my dogs as if they were her own.
Shawn was great! My Dorkie loves everyone but my Goldendoodle can be a little skittish. Shawn worked with me to come meet her before hand so she had met him to hopefully feel more comfortable as we were going on vacation. Shawn took the time and we really appreciate it! Would recommend and will rehire in the future!
We are so pleased with Arden. She met us for a meet and greet first and Mia loved her ! It was love at first sight. Mia loves the tv on and Arden even made sure it was on during our time away . She went above and beyond for our sweet girl . I felt so comfortable having her care for Mia and I have never left her before this. We look forward to having Arden again for our next time away ! Thank you Arden !!!!
Tess was the most help with walking my dogs! She was easy to schedule a walk through with and super accomodating to schedule. She was super sweet to the dogs and took them on a long walk with great pictures! I will continue asking for her help whenever it is needed. Thanks again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Ridgewood is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 1,018 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Ridgewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Ridgewood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Ridgewood after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgewood. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
