“Kaitlyn was so wonderful to our girls while we were out of town for a week. I’ve always been hesitant to leave them for long periods of time, but I’ll definitely be using Kaitlyn in the future. She was outstanding!”
“Arden was great taking care of our dogs and cat. She stayed in the nighttime to ensure that our dogs were ok and not in need of emergency potty situations that can sometimes occur. She walked the dogs, sent pics and they were all happy and fine when we got home. House was great and everything went smoothly! Using her again the end of the month!”
“Emily did a great job caring for our girls Colbie and Hazel. She sent us lots of messages and videos over the few days, and seemed to genuinely enjoy the dogs. No issues at all -- a great find!”
“Look no further because Cara is the best! She is caring, mature and calm and has a keen sense with animals. She took care of our 3 dogs and home for 5 days and we came back to our home exactly as we had left it. I am so glad we found her and already have her booked a few more times. It’s a relief knowing our home and dogs are being well taken care of while we’re away. Really can’t say enough good things about her except give her a try —- ya won’t regret it.”
“Katelyn was very good with our senior dogs, she walked them and sent pictures of them daily. She kept our house very tidy while she stayed here, very trustworthy! We will use her again”
“My dogs were taken care of and given plenty of attention! They are snuggle bugs and loved having Bethany here to take care of them. The house was kept in shape too! I also really appreciated all the updates and photos. My girls looked so happy. The communication was perfect!”
“Had a great experience! Alexis was very patient with our nervous dogs and gave all of them a lot of attention! We received a lot of feedback and pictures. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Sara provided excellent care for our two dogs while we were away. She checked in the day before we left to confirm and also after we returned to ensure all was well and that we had arrived at our confirmed time. We appreciated receiving pictures and updates during our trip. We will definitely use her again.”
“So sweet and thoughtful with my 4 boys! Lots of great photos and communication. The house was left neat and tidy, no accidents, animals were really chill after a first stay with a new person. And she even left the tv on bluey for them. Would recommend and book again.”
“My partner and I were so pleased with Alanna’s communication with us while we were away on a two-week vacation. Our two dogs were well cared for, and we received regular updates and photos. We returned to find our house clean, our plants watered and our pups happy. Thanks so much Alanna for your support!”
“I will not trust anyone else with my babies. Sara I'd absolutely amazing. She really cares and does an amazing job. She sends pictures and takes care of my fur babies like her own.”
“McKenzie was great! She loved on Wren and sent pics and updates throughout the weekend. She was very accommodating as we have a high energy dog that needs 2 long walks a day and can’t be left alone for too long. We can’t wait to use her again.”

About: My name is Ivette Vanessa, and I am an architectural illustrator and pet sitter currently living in the beautiful city of Savannah. My residence is close to Forsyth park, which has granted me the opportunity to look after pets and do park walks during the past 10 years. I have been blessed to grow up with dogs and cats my whole life, allowing me many years of experience in their care and looking after their needs. I believe the companionship of animals is a very valuable gift to our lives. I specialize in providing personalized care with a high level of professionalism. My priority is to care for pets respectfully in order to provide the best experience for the owner and the pet. Savannah has been my home for 11 years, and I love the pet culture in this city with its beautiful parks and squares. My current availability extends to morning and early afternoons, 7 days a week. Please contact me with any inquiries. I can provide daily pet care for dogs and cats. I am available in the mornings, early afternoons until 2pm, and can also do visits at night after 10pm. Please feel free to contact me personally with any questions you may have! I am happy to provide pet care at my client’s homes with specific instructions. My focus is to be respectful and detailed oriented. I have 2 beautiful and loving cats in my house at the moment, so I do not currently pet-sit in my own home, in order to not disturb their space.
“We had the best experience! She was so sweet, communicative, and clearly genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Our pup can sometimes get pretty anxious when we leave, to the point where he doesn't eat, so we always worry a little when we travel. This time, he ate his meals normally and seemed happy and settled, which speaks volumes. He must have felt so safe and secure in her care. We’re incredibly grateful and would trust her again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I have experience in pet care for 15+ years and currently work for a pet care company in Savannah that I used to manage for! I currently dedicate 100% of my work time to pet care!! Pet care is my full time job and I’m extremely passionate about caring for all kinds of pets!☺️ I am well acquainted with how important timing can be for babies especially those who need to go outside to potty breaks ASAP or have medication needs! I have experience pilling animals and giving injections as needed! I have worked with special needs cats before, and pride myself on befriending even the most difficult babies, though I feel they are only difficult because they need more time to trust people☺️💖
“Kenza was awesome with my 2 dogs! I have a senior lab and a 1.5 year old puppy, both of who require a lot of attention. She loved them like they were her own. I would love to hire Kenza again!”
“Emmaline was awesome. We are big time dog parents, and it means a lot to us to have the best for our puppy babies! if you want to feel assured your babies are getting the right attention and are being loved like their own, Emmaline is your dog sitter. She was punctual and communicated timely. Emmaline exceeded our expectations and we will have her back. I could tell that our puppy babies loved Emmaline because they acted like we weren't even gone when we returned.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
We had a wonderful experience with Emily! She stayed at our home for a week with our geriatric dog (13 years old) and our 6-month-old high energy Vizsla puppy and took amazing care of both. She sent plenty of timely updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy dogs and a spotless house! I am absolutely going to book her again and highly recommend her!
It was SO nice of Blanca to come out to our house weeks before our booking so that she could meet Guster (and us!) and get the lay of the land. We are SO appreciative of her communication during her stay. We are SO happy to have found Blanca and will plan to have her stay with Gus from now on, if she is available.
So sweet and thoughtful with my 4 boys! Lots of great photos and communication. The house was left neat and tidy, no accidents, animals were really chill after a first stay with a new person. And she even left the tv on bluey for them. Would recommend and book again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pup sitter! Zena and Birdie were so happy, playful, and relaxed when we got home, which told us they had a great time and were very well cared for. She truly went above and beyond, providing regular updates, sending plenty of photos, and being extremely responsive throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter! 🐾💕
Katie was wonderful!! She was on time to sit with my dog Emma at our location and she sent us updates and photos throughout each session. Emma my dog, was a little nervous on this trip but she instantly took to Katie. When we returned each day from our excursions, Emma was happy and relaxed. 😊 I will definitely book Katie again, next time I’m in Savannah!!
did an outstanding job caring for both our home and our dog while we were away. Communication was consistent and professional throughout the entire time, and it was clear our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy. The house was kept clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. Most importantly, we had complete peace of mind knowing everything was being handled responsibly. We trust her completely.
Thomas was absolutely wonderful to work with. He sent a bunch of photos and videos didn't hesitate to reach out with questions. This was our first time using Rover. We were a bit nervous to leave Seuss with someone we didn't know well, but, after this experience, I'm pretty sure Seuss would prefer we leave town again soon for more time with Thomas lol

FAQs for House Sitting - Ridgewood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ridgewood on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 605 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ridgewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ridgewood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ridgewood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ridgewood choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgewood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
