“We needed a pet sitter last minute and Madelynn was quick to respond and come by for a meet and greet! She took such great care of everyone and kept us updated while we were away! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“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.”
“Can’t recommend Amberly highly enough (: she’s super flexible, communicative, and great with our 2 cats! We’ve booked with her a couple times now and will continue to do so anytime we’re heading out of town.”
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!
“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.”
“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!!”

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 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've taken care of dogs for 3 years; I have owned dogs myself in the past and began pet sitting when I was 15, and I care for all breeds and sizes. I have trained two of my own dogs in the past: a long-haired Chihuahua and a Labrador retriever. I care for all dogs and pets as if they were my own. Pets are extensions of our bloodline, and I truly understand that I'm currently a College student, and I fit in pet-sitting between my classes and during my weekends. At my school, we have Fridays off so I have a full weekend to have time to care for pets! I currently live in a dorm room with roommates on my college campus, so I am not offering pet services at my house at this moment due to space.
About: Fenced yard, clean and cozy private pet room, and personalized care make your pet feel right at home, safe, loved and stress free during their stay. Pet care is part of my daily routine, I’m always available though out the day to provide playtime, potty breaks, meals and plenty of love Your pet will enjoy a safe, clean environment with a private room for rest and comfort plus a secured fence in yard space for supervised outdoor play

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgewood
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!
I can’t recommend Emma enough! She is extremely trustworthy, kind, and great at communicating. An emergency happened while I was away, and she rushed over immediately to handle it. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were safe and kept me informed the entire time. Your pets will be in good hands with her! :)

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 1,084 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.

- 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.
