“Madelynn took care of my cat Lucien for 19 days. I had never left my cat for so long before and was overly worried, especially about finding a sitter willing to commit. She made me feel at ease my entire trip with really good pictures and videos, stayed on top of litter and other chores, and provided daily play time. Will definitely be booking again next time I leave town. 10/10”
“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.”
“Shelby was wonderful with our pets! We were away for the weekend and she took excellent care of our cat and large dog. We loved getting daily updates and photos of the fur babies. Highly recommended!”
“One of my cats started feeling unwell, right as I was about to leave for my trip, but Cassandra was able to give me peace of mind. Her experience administering medication really came in handy and because she has taken care of my cats a few times now, she was able to comment on their behaviors as a result. Always grateful!”
“Lily was great with my cats!!! She was great at communicating with me while I was gone and she followed the schedule we had set perfectly. She gave my cats lots of attention and kept them very happy! I would love to have lily watch my cats again”
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.
“Natalie is always the best!! Our cats love her and she always checks to make sure everything is working right (litter boxes, water, food dispensers) and lets us know right away if something is wrong or if everything looks good. We will always use her if she is available!”
About: I grew up with a big animal-loving family. I currently care for 2 dogs of my own who I love with my who heart. Growing up, I took advantage of volunteer opportunities and small pet-sitting gigs whenever I got the chance. I love animals and I would love to make your pet feel happy and healthy! I am a graduate student currently with a very flexible schedule to do some pet care on the side. I tend to need breaks in between course loads and study sessions so taking care of your pet will be the perfect time away! I have 2 friends dogs to keep your pet company during any boarding visits as well as easy access to nearby parks and dog parks if that is something you are interested in! I love to explore so I am also happy to walk dogs in your neighborhood or play with them in your back yard!
“Amy was great. She went out of her way to take care of our cats and critters. Sent me pictures every day. I will be requesting her services again in the furire if I go away again. Thank you Amy and Happy New Year's 2026!!”
“Katarina was great, she took such amazing care of my sweet boy. She was extremely clear in her communication, always kept me updated on check-ins and if she was going to be late or early. I would 100% hire her again.”
About: I have owned dogs ever since I was very little. For over 10 years I have been dog sitting for friends and family. I love taking care of and playing with dogs/cats! I really enjoy on walks and running outside. When taking care of other people’s pets I am very organized and I do everything I can do make sure the dogs/cats are happy and healthy! I am a very responsible college student looking for another source of income while I’m in grad school I am currently a grad student at SCAD studying Art History. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby! I am a graduate student at SCAD studying Art History. My schedule for this quarter is mostly online, which will allow me to spend time with your pet, even if I have work I need to get done. I live in downtown Savannah, and have a reliable source of transportation. I live in a safe neighborhood which I am comfortable walking around with your pet. There is easy access to the outdoors. No fence, so the pet will need a leash for potty time.
“Sara is very responsive, was on time and made sure we know how our fur babies are. This was our first walk with Sara and then looking forward to her pet sitting in the coming weeks for us. Will be using her as often as possible!”
About: I have been fostering dogs since I was 10 years old - old, young, big, small. I was raised up in an environment where we always had 5+ dogs in the house at any given time, so I do really well with juggling the needs of multiple pets! Thanks to my rescue experience I also have experience administering medicine to both dogs and cats. I have two dogs and a cat of my own that I use Rover for, so it's important to me to provide the care I expect for my own babies. I am currently working part-time and am completing my masters online full-time, so I have a lot of leeway in my schedule and can be very accommodating on a short notice. My own pets flourish on a routine, so it's important for me to get to know your pets routine and follow that as closely as possible so they feel some extra stability while their human is gone!
About: I was a kennel technician for a little over 3 years and have fostered pets most of my life, I miss working with animals but had a career to focus on I work 9-5 on Tybee currently but make sure my own pet gets very consistent long walks before and after work every day and playtime at lunch on my days off❤️❤️ My dog has fantastic recall that we work on regularly with positive reinforcement. I also specialize in leash training stubborn puppies that like to pull
About: I grew up around dogs and cats all my life. Getting my first dog Truffles five years ago and added four cats since then to our family! I am taking my final class online and besides that I’m very free. I live my long-time girlfriend who would be able to take care of my pets at home if I needed to stay the night. I can easily drive to any areas in the Savannah area. I have safely walked and take care of many dogs of all sizes. I will treat your pets like my own no matter the species.
About: I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds and am the mom to a very energetic and sweet pit bull. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets during getaways, so I will communicate as much as you like and make sure your fur baby is treated with the utmost care and love. I work a standard 8–5 schedule, but I’m excited to care for your pet during evenings or weekends! I’m based in Savannah and happy to travel to surrounding areas to provide excellent care. I will follow all instructions to ensure your pet has the best possible experience in my care. I will treat them as I would my own dog and take every necessary precaution to keep them safe.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
Sara is absolutely EXCEPTIONAL and is now the only sitter I trust with my two cats. My kitties loved her (which says a lot because one of them takes weeks to come out of hiding when introduced to new people)! I finally found someone who makes it possible for me to enjoy my vacation without worrying if my cats are okay - I can’t thank you enough Sara, and I can’t recommend you enough!
Alexandra is very communicative and follows directions well. When an issue came up she informed me immediately and did what she could to address it. I appreciated her honesty and how she kept me in the loop. She cares so much about taking care of our girls to the best of her ability.
Mia was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly genuinely cared about him. She kept me updated while I was away and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her, which made being away so much easier. I would definitely recommend Mia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I’ll absolutely be reaching out to her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ridgewood is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 1,070 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ridgewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgewood. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
