“Cera was excellent with my two cats. One of my cats gets twice daily medication and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She gave lots of attention to my other kitty too! I will definitely book with Cera again.”
“We had a great experience with Jess and would highly recommend her. She took the time to build trust with our cats and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for while we were away. She went above and beyond by handling a few unexpected messes without hesitation and even helping us address a small spot in the house the cats kept getting into. She’s reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does.”
“Stella is so amazing and helpful. Our King Henry loves her visits and we are so relieved to have someone trustworthy and attentive to look after him. Thank you Stella!”
“Daniel is a phenomenal sitter and allowed our dogs to feel at ease. He’s extremely thorough and ensures their well-being is paramount. Cannot recommend Daniel highly enough!”
About: I've had guinea pigs all my life, and I have taken care of my friends and families dogs and cats. Taking care of animals is a huge passion of mine, and I take it very seriously I have a lot of free time on my hands and would be available anytime of the week. If something does come up on my schedule I will let you know. I would prefer to take care of your animals in your own home and would be able to stay over or check in on them as much as you want.
“Andrew is great! He was super patient while I learned to navigate the Rover app. Had a thorough meet and greet with our dogs and checklist. He sent photos and a great report card. Will certainly be contacting Andrew for future dog sitting appointments. Highly recommend!”
“Great, responsive service! Is familiar with Uptown which is nice. Genuinely enjoyed spending time with my 2 cats and sent videos on every visit and stayed the entire time. Even came by on her lunch break when I made a scheduling time mistake. Will be booking again.”
“Amber was super responsive and really helped us out over the holiday weekend. Our cat takes several medications and Amber was able to administer all of them for us. Would definitely book with her again 😊”
“Samantha did a wonderful job caring for our 10-week-old puppy, Millie, while we were at work. She was incredibly responsive, flexible, and attentive to all of Millie’s needs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our puppy was in such great hands. Samantha exceeded all of our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Julianna was nothing but amazing. She took great care of my three dogs and even spent some time walking and playing with them to help burn off energy. She communicated well by asking questions which showed she genuinely cared for my dogs rather than just earning a check. One of them had an accident throughout Julianna’s visit but she didn’t hesitate to help with clean up and I’m extremely grateful for that. I highly recommend using her and plan to do so again myself in the near future.”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and treated them as her own. She was super caring and attentive and made sure they were well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend her for any of your Rover needs!”
“Riley did a great job for us while on vacation! We were very worried leaving our Frenchie alone for that length of time, but knowing Riley was there to take care of her and keep her company made it less stressful. We would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”
About: I have pet sit dogs of all sizes over the past 12 years. I am happy to walk your dog or play a game of fetch. I'm also happy to check in on them and spend some time giving belly rubs and cuddles when you can't. I work a flexible part time job. I have time weekdays mornings, afternoons, and evenings to drop in for a walk or give some love to your pet. I will come to your house for walks and play sessions. I can crate your dog when I leave if needed. I can be flexible if you have a special request.
“Diana was very accommodating & was able to help me out at the last minute. She did very well with my two dogs & they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She followed my detailed instructions & didn't appear to have any problems with my sometimes problematic dog. I would definitely recommend Diana to those who need a caring, responsible pet sitter.”
About: Ive had animals my entire life and have many years of experience taking caring of them both in home and while working at dog groomers. I treat every animal as if they were my own and can’t wait to love yours! I work virtually full time so I am able to care for your animals needs on a consistent and regular basis throughout the week and weekends. I can crate a dog easily. I can also walk, feed or meet any other needs for the fur baby while watching them at their home
“Kathy was absolutely fantastic! She was so communicative and kept us updated, which gave us such peace of mind. Most importantly, she treated our dogs as if they were her own, giving them so much love, attention, and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!”
“Maria went above and beyond this time to care for my babies. They love her and got lots of playtime as usual, but this time my house was dealing with an ant infestation. She notified me so that I could call pest control and helped spray and wipe away the ants she could see in the meantime before they were able to drop by. I was very anxious about the situation and she continued to provide updates and let me know that their food and main play areas were safe”

Brittany came through for me at the last minute when I was scrambling for a sitter & I’m truly glad I had booked her. Very down to earth and open about her availability, as well as willing to work with me when I needed her to arrive at a specific time. Helen was well fed & cared for & I’m very grateful for her!
I would have left 5 stars, however got off to a rocky start. Once the kinks were worked out she did a fabulous job. We have 3 kitties, granted 2 of them are very shy, by the end of the week, the 2 shy ones finally started coming out of hiding. I would definitely refer Clare as a sitter.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ridgewood on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ridgewood. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
