About: I am a 19 year old who’s been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up with small dogs, big dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, and more, each one giving a new experience. All animals have one thing in common, and it’s just wanting to be treated with love and care. With your pet in my hands, they will guaranteed be treated with extra care and will have my patience. From the excited and cuddly to the shy and reserved, each animal will be respected and have their boundaries. On weekdays I am usually available between 8:00am and 7pm. Sundays are better for times later than 7pm. Boarding days depend on my upcoming schedule so if you are looking for that, please talk with me about it beforehand. Sitting will usually be done at your home. If you would like me to take one of your animals into my own, please talk with me about it first beforehand. If you’re animal is taken into my home, they will be separated from all other animals and will be made sure they have plenty of stuff to do and room to do it in, as well as plenty of outdoor space. If we are in your home, I will let you set the rules, and make sure to be respectful of your living space especially with your pet present.
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. I’ve never lived without a dog in my home. I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and age. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family keeping owners updated with photos and giving their furry friends plenty of love and attention. Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I’m available mornings and evenings for walks and check-ins, and I keep weekends open for longer stays. I’m home often and always make time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m willing to do whatever makes you and your pets most comfortable. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals feel safe and comfortable. I follow any instructions owners provide, and send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: Taken care of all pets since a very young age. I've had multiple cats my whole life and a recently passed dog aswell as fish, rats, guinea pigs, and insects. Family and friends have asked for me to pet-sit and for a year I took care of 2 adorable puppies while their parents worked late to start their business. Currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule and have absolutely no problem calling off once or twice a week(I hate my job I wish I could care for animals full time) I spoil all of my pets and have no issue with treating your babies the same way! I maintain a clean environment with advanced nutrition and probably excessive play with my tabby cat!
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities — from energetic puppies to senior cats who just want quiet company. Whether it’s giving meds, sticking to a routine, or just knowing when they need extra love, I bring patience, experience, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Feel free to message about anything or other animals!! I work part-time and am usually free most days from morning until 5, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need. When your pet’s with me, they’re not just being looked after — they’re cared for like family. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or just good company, I’m here to keep tails wagging and your mind at ease. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pet — clean, secure, and just the way you left it.
“If you want a pet sitter who will treat your pets like their own, pick Mackenzie!! She is our go to pet sitter for our three dogs and two cats. She goes above and beyond every time and is so good with them all! I have dogs ranging from 7 pounds to 110 pounds and I would trust her with any of them any day! Thank you Mackenzie, my babies love you!”
“This is who you want to care for your dogs! Fantastic experience leaving our dogs for the first time with someone not family. Zero issues. Home and dogs were well cared for and taken care of by someone who knows dogs and has experience.”
About: I have cared for animals my entire life and have fostered puppies through adulthood as well as taken care of aging dogs with responsibility and care. I am a teacher and am happy to assist your family before or after school, on weekends or on school vacations. I am happy to travel since I have the flexibility of time. We have a fenced in yard with additional area to walk in a leash. At clients’ homes, I will carefully and respectfully follow directions on where you are most comfortable with me walking and with which equipment you feel works best for your pet.
About: Hi! My name is Alicia. I am a Licenced Veterinary Techician, and graduated from IMBC. I have two cats and two jumping spiders currently. I was a full-time LVT at NEAH for 3+ years, but left due to compassion fatigue. I recently started working full time at Balance Veterinary Rehabilitation Services and have learned a lot about canine physical therapy so far. I have experience with exotics as I used to own rats, a fire skink, and have cared for bearded dragons in the past. I would like to get to know you before coming into your home and caring for your pets. I think establishing trust between each other is an important step to becoming a valued pet sitter. I’m very excited to meet you and your little companions! I am currently working part time doing odd jobs and would love to add this to my routine! I have so much love for animals! Cleanliness is a top priority of mine when it comes to feeding and potty time. Additionally, I know the basics of first aid and CPR in a situation where the worst would occur. I believe this is important knowledge for any sitter to have.
About: I've grown up around cats my entire life, and have cared and trained them for various things like litter box training. For the last couple years I've learned how to care for dogs, especially learning how to care for paraplegic pets. My schedule is set in stone as I work 7:30am to 3:30pm for my job. I can always accommodate for anyone that is in need of pet sitters! While I do not allow other people's pets at my own home due to past conflicts with other owners' pets, I am happy to stay overnight at any place, or stop at the house to care for your pets.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ripley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ripley on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 97 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ripley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ripley walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ripley maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ripley choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
