“Jen was amazing! We loved getting daily updates and pictures. We could always tell from the photos that our boys were having the time of their lives. Can't wait to have Jen back again!”

“Tina does an amazing job with our girl, Stevie. She’s thorough, fun, and so knowledgeable with dog care. We always know Stevie is taken care of and happy when she is with Tina. And Tina does a little training when she checks in on Stevie which is so great!”

“Keely was great. Good communication and took wonderful pics of my cats during her visits while making sure everything was in order. Couldn’t have gone any smoother.”

“Anna has been amazing each time shes dropped in! My dogs need to be kept separated and she makes sure that of it. I feel like my babies are in safe hands! She includes a detailed description of the drop in visit with multiple pictures. I plan on hiring her again! Thank you!”

“Lydia did a great job dropping in to take care of my cat. She had to give pills, kept me updated well, and sent pictures every time! My cat seemed happy when I returned and the house was well taken care of. Would hire again!”

“Samantha has been so wonderful with my Australian Shepard. She gives amazing updates and always sends multiple picture updates! She is a great and compassionate sitter, Jonee and I appreciate her!”

“Ben provided excellent care for our dog and cat while we were on vacation for a week! He did 3 drop-in visits a day, arrived on time, and provided pics and videos. THEN, when our flight was delayed and we were stuck for two additional days, he covered those visits as well, which was amazing as we were already under a ton of stress due to the delay. We will definitely book Ben again and highly recommend.”

“Jackie and her family took wonderful care of our dog. Jackie was very accommodating to my care request and was communicative the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Jackie and her family!”

“Mersadies left amazingly detailed visit notes and paid great attention to the care my cats needed (both required medicine for part of the time she cared for them). I appreciate her lots!”

“Mary went absolutely above and beyond to make Kenai’s time alone at home feel like a staycation. She not only learned his schedule and followed it perfectly, but also learned Kenai’s personality authentically and patiently. We would definitely recommend Mary to anyone looking for a kind, responsibly, and loving caretaker!”

About: As a cat owner, I have a deep appreciation for cats and understand the patience, attentiveness, and consistency they need to feel comfortable and secure. I have cared for kittens, adults, and senior cats with a wide range of personalities and needs, which has given me hands-on experience with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, enrichment, administering basic medicine, and recognizing each cat’s individual personality and preferences. I know that every cat is different—some are playful and social, while others prefer quiet companionship and space—and I always take the time to build trust at their pace. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable presence that helps your cat feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, but I am available after 4pm on weekdays and all day on weekends for your furry friend's needs. After giving lots of love to your fur baby, I go home to give lots of love to mine. I'm available for drop ins, short vacations. I take last-minute requests so long as my schedule allows it. I do not offer house sitting or boarding services at this time. Please contact me if you need drop in services for your cat or dog.
“Our kitty is extremely shy around new people, so I don't think Brittany was able to see much of her, but Brittany was great. She made sure Inara always had fresh water and a clean litter box and provided a reassuring presence once a day while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. I highly recommend her! We will definitely be booking with her again.”

“Alexandria was amazing she went above and beyond for our family while out of town. My dog Indy looks forward to her visits and she took care of my hens too. Amazing.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—growing up in a home full of fish, birds, cats, dogs, and rodents taught me early on that pets are family. I truly believe every animal deserves love, patience, and attentive care. Today, I share my home with my friendly dog Birdie, who loves meeting new furry friends and makes a great playmate. My two kids are also passionate animal lovers, and together we create a safe, warm, and pet-friendly environment. I’m experienced in administering medications, whether pills, drops, or topical treatments, and I’m happy to support pets with special needs. I also offer daily walks for exercise and enrichment, and I’m comfortable with crate training if it’s part of your routine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or relaxed, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own. I work full-time during the week, but on my weekends off, I love spending my time caring for animals. Pet care has always been a part of my life, and I’m excited to offer reliable, loving support to fellow pet parents when I’m available. Whether it’s weekend drop-ins, walks, or cuddles while you’re away, I’m here to help give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is fully pet-friendly and thoughtfully pet-proofed to ensure a secure environment. I use baby gates to create designated pet areas, so dogs can have their own space or be kept out of certain rooms when needed. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard—perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Fresh water is always available in multiple areas of the home to keep pets hydrated throughout the day. Whether your pet loves to run or relax, they’ll have a secure, comfortable, and caring space to enjoy.
“Angel was so kind and attentive to my cat Miso! Lots of great pictures and daily updates, which were so appreciated. 😊 Miso loved all the pets and cuddles! Thank you for your help!”


“Carley is a delight and such a wonderful sitter! Incredibly sweet and a natural with animals, I had no worry at all leaving my pups in her care. Regular check-ins and photo updates throughout the weekend. I highly recommend Carley and will definitely try to book her again.”

Ridgewood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Adrianna took such good care of our kitty when we were away for the weekend. She administered his medication with no issue and made sure he was comfortable and loved on before she ended each visit. She updated us with lots of cute photos and detailed reports, too!

Carly took care of Chester for 1 week as drop-in sitter. My cat looks healthy and handsome as ever. I arrive with a chatty cat greeting me and I get it. I will book Carly again in the future because she not only took care of my cat’s needs (spoiled-prince) but she also respected my place and she is trustworthy and professional.

We had a one-time drop-in visit for our cat Noodle, and it was a great experience. Communication was prompt and clear, and they were right on time. Even though it was just one stop, they made sure Noodle was well taken care of and comfortable. We really appreciated the update and photos — it gave us peace of mind knowing Noodle was in good hands. You can tell they genuinely care about animals and take their responsibility seriously. Reliable, kind, and professional. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend
