She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”

About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 10 years. I helped raise my family’s dog and then got a puppy of my own at the end of 2023! I’m a very active person and absolutely love walking and running. Whether you've got an energetic dog that needs a lot of exercise or a relaxed dog (or cat!) that enjoys a chill stroll, I'm ready for it! My schedule during the day is very open right now, looking to fill it with lots of walks and games of fetch! My weekends and evenings tend to be a bit busier, but I can accommodate special requests if you let me know in advance! I’m happy to provide what ever care your dog needs in your home. Whether that is walks or simple play and pet time, I’m happy to be there.

About: Hi, I'm George (nickname Trey), I have fostered dozens of dogs, mostly puppies, and have two rescue pups who live with me. My lab mix is everyone's best friend, while my shepherd mix is often reactive, so I manage the greetings with her separately. After she settles down she loves to play with her new friends. I have a big yard and some woods with trails that the dogs love to walk and sniff. If you need a dog sitter in the Wallingford area please reach out, I would be happy to host your dog and give them a safe, fun place to stay! On work days I still have the option to be at home sometimes, the flexibility is nice when I need to care for dogs. I walk my dogs all the time and we enjoy meeting new walking buddies. Our lengthy walks and playtime are essential to our daily life. My home is a cozy little house with a 4 acre yard, I spend lots of time outside so if your pup likes to be outside they will love it here. Let me know what your pup needs, I am very flexible.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, as have my friends and family, so I’ve been surrounded by them for years! Both dogs and cats. More recently, I have been cat sitting just because two of my best friends have cats (4 in total) so whenever they go away, I jump on the opportunity to watch them! I’m comfortable spending quality time, feeding, and playing with them; keeping litter boxes fresh; and even cleaning up if that’s something that’s necessary. My family dog is part pit so she’s very strong-chested which makes walking her a challenge but that just means I have the ability to walk a challenging dog. I’ve learned to slow down on my walks with her lately because those walks are really the only time she gets to explore the world so I let her take her time and I’ll let your furry friends do the same 🐾 I know how much our pets mean to us, so I’ll always treat yours like family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention on my watch! I’m currently working freelance, which means I don’t have a set schedule and can work around pretty much anything. I will have plenty of time to walk dogs/do pop-ins at any time of the day, even if you are in need of some help last-minute! I am very attentive when caring for the pets in my life! They all have their individual needs. When I'm walking my dog, I am always watching our surroundings & will cross the street if another dog is coming our way to keep some distance, especially since my girl is sometimes reactive. With the cats, I also pay close attention to things... like eating habits for example. The one friend I catsit for has three cats: one of which is picky to begin with and the other two who like to steal her food so I keep a watchful eye every time they eat to make sure everyone is getting to eat in peace!

About: i've grown up around animals my whole life, ranging from chinchillas to dogs, cats, reptiles, you name it i've probably owned it. I am very dedicated to the wellbeing and care of animals and have done research for every animal i've owned to make sure it was given the proper care and attention it needed, and your pet would be no exception. I work about 20 hours every week, but i have a very flexible schedule, usually only working in the mornings till around 2pm, giving me plenty of time to care for animals as i go through my online schooling. I always make sure my cats have full food and water bowls, clean litter boxes and give them attention when they come for it, when caring for my moms dog i make sure to follow his bathroom schedule and feeding schedule as instructed

About: I can take any type of animals!! Crazy, big, small, etc. I love em all. I’m very outgoing with them! And love playing and going on walks and talking to the animals!! My mom worked on Rover for a few years and I always helped out when her clients wanted her care but she wasn’t available. We had dogs stay at our house and it was just as fun for me as it was for them! My mom helped me realize this type of job and without a doubt I would love to do what she did! I am currently a student at Widener University. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I go to class 9 am to 10:50 am and I have another class from 1pm to 1:50pm. Mondays I am blocked off from 2pm to 4pm unfortunately. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a class at 9:30 to 10:50. For Tuesdays I go into the office 12-6pm but can always do a stop in before then! And Thursdays I have a later lecture from 6pm to 8pm. With my school schedule I have no problem making times work during the weekday! Weekends I basically have open availability. I have them in my view at all times!! I have good communications with dogs and make sure their needs are met by their body language.

About: Hello Families ! My name is Beckii and I absolutely adore animals. I have 5 cats and have had my own dog in the past. I love to help animals and rescued animals who were on the streets where I gave them food and shelter. I love to provide play time and dog walks and all the extra love in between for any kind of animal :) Each animal has their own individual personality in which I can attend to. I show affection and am very responsible when it comes to the safety of pets. I am open to care for special needs pets aswell of those with medical conditions. I personally am a caregiver and I nanny children part time for a living but wanting to expand with pets. I would be a great aspect to your pets life and it would be a pleasure to take on new families with amazing pets ! All animals demand attention which I can lovingly provide. I hope to be able to meet new fur babies to work with and care for ! My avalibility ranges from any time on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays , Saturdays and Sundays. I am an honest and reliable worker. I personally like to do what makes me happy in life as my job. Pets bring alot of joy to my life. I am hoping to be able to meet work with different families. You will not be disappointed! Well to start , I have 5 cats that need my my love and care everyday , each with their own unique personality and some on medication and diet food they require to stay healthy so it’s important I am on top of that. Also, I feed stray animals so I make the 20 minute drive to go feed , mainly cats, and get that done which I usually have my same cats plus any news ones I usually feed each time . If there are any kittens or unfixed cats and I have time to resolve the problem , I will do the work to get them trapped or rescued and drive to a rescue for help or call for extra help if I can’t provide it. This is an important role for me in my day to day life . I have rescued and fixed close to 100 cats and kittens . To make sure you pets safety needs are met , if you have a fence I will always make sure it is securely closed and locked before I let the pet outside .

Callie was so kind and so accommodating!! My husband and I booked her last minute to watch our pets while we were at our wedding, and she was so kind and flexible with our last minute request. She also took her time to make sure our dog, Maddie, was comfortable with her being in our home, which we really appreciated, because our dog can be a little nervous when meeting new people. She also was great with her updates of our pets and was super communicative!! We would definitely recommend Callie to anyone!! We will definitely be booking with her again!!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Breanna! She has known Harper since we moved to Media three years ago, and over that time, she has become such a constant, caring presence in our lives. She has followed us through one house move and even two pregnancies, always showing Harper the same incredible level of love and attention. Breanna goes so far above and beyond what you could ever expect from a dog walker. Her updates and notes show just how closely she pays attention to Harper and how genuinely invested she is in her well-being. We always feel completely confident knowing Harper is in her care. And somehow, she manages to make our lives a little easier, too. She’ll bring in our mail and packages, and on more than one occasion, she’s even put away a loaf of bread I accidentally left sitting on the counter after a hectic morning with my two boys. Breanna is reliable, kind, attentive, trustworthy, and truly treats Harper like her own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with their whole heart. Harper absolutely adores her, and so do we!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Ridley Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ridley Park is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $28 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 9,370 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ridley Park. 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 Ridley Park. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
