“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.”
“Daniel was awesome, simply put. Great communication and multiple updates kept us in the loop. He was very engaging with our dogs and went above and beyond our expectations.”
“Thank you for your kindness of your visit with Bear. Sorry he was jumping alot when excited to see you. I hope he was able to be redirected. Thanks for our communication and your willingness to schedule more visits. I give my own tip left on table. Good job! It helps my anxiety to know I can leave to visit my friends that I cannot bring my Bear.”
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.
“Jess is professional and lovely to work with. She treated our fur babies to treats and love and even wiped their dirty paws when finished. Highly recommend Jess for you pet sitting needs!”
“If you're looking for a person to love your pet just like you do while you're away, Andrew is your guy! Andrew is great at keeping our 6 month old pup, Mylo, active and happy while we're at work. We love to see Andrew's detailed Rover Cards at the end of each visit. He always includes how Mylo behaves on their walk and wonderful pictures that we get excited to see. Still training your dog? Andrew is super knowledgeable and attentive to our dog's needs. He always implements our training during his stay and gives us updates on Mylo's progress. We're grateful to have found Andrew and are always impressed with his work.”
“Ms. Jenni Lynn was great with Baxter and he enjoyed his time with her. Jenni was punctual and played with Baxter and kept him fed and watered. If she is available for our next outing I will book her again. I would recommend her services.”
“Stella was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the very beginning, she was kind, professional, and incredibly attentive to our dog’s needs. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away!”
“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”
“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.”
“So my weekend plans came together at the last minute and my regular dog sitter was booked. So I gave Rover.com a try and booked Samantha K. and it was an excellent experience. First, I'm grateful that Samantha fit me into her schedule. She was great in getting to the house, getting our lab mix out for potty breaks, playtime, and back in for meal time. I would definitely recommend Samantha K. Pricing was very reasonable and the process so convenient.”
“Amber did a wonderful job looking after our four cats. She was so pleasant to work with, was prompt, organized and followed directions well. You could tell she cared about the cats and that they were doing well. We can't thank her enough and hope to have her care for the kitties again!”
About: I have grown up with many animals in my family childhood home and it’s was always my responsibility to take care of them so it is like second nature to me. I have one dog (Aussie) and two cats (domestic short hair) I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, as well as most weekends. Whether you need daily check-ins, walks, or care while you’re away for the weekend, I’ll make sure your pet receives dependable, loving attention and stays on their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs. I always make sure doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before heading outside. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“What a lovely experience. From our initial meeting that gave us confidence, to the great communication throughout, we had peace of mind that our guy was being well cared for. The photographs and updates were so appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clare.”
About: I'm an avid animal lover and have cared for pets most of my life. My German Shepard pup (17 months) is my best friend. We hike, walk, socialize at the dog park, swim, play and pretty much doing everything together. I've done dog walking, overnight pet sitting and drop in visits for the last 7 or so years. I can provide references and would love to get to know your fur babies. I currently work full time in the Collegeville area. When I'm not working I'm with my pup enjoying as much of the outdoors as possible. My availability is a bit limited currently to nights and weekends. I enjoy playing outside and can find fun things to do inside. Some animals prefer being inside. I will take the time to get to know your pet and care for them as if they were my own. I'm happy to change or clean litter, puppy pads and clean up accidents that sometimes happen. I will follow directions for food, treats and medicine needed as well. Every animal has different needs and I'd be happy to get to know yours.
“I felt very comfortable having Terri do drop in visits to care for my cat. She checked in and gave updates with pictures each drop-in. My cat needed special care with antibiotics, which Terri could do no problem. My shy cat even let Terri pet her eventually, so I know my cats felt comfortable too. Thanks Terri!”

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.

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:

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.
