Maria is wonderful. She house sat for our three elderly dogs and treated them like family. When we returned the dogs wanted more attention from her than us. Will definitely book again and recommend her.

About: Hi there! My name is Gabby. My love for dogs started back in 3rd grade when I adopted my first puppy, Alex, a fluffy black Pomeranian, he quickly became my best friend and taught me just how much joy and companionship a pet can bring into your life. That experience stuck with me, and it's what pushed me to start volunteering at shelters in high school and college, because I wanted other pets to feel that same love and care I got to experience. I've also worked with nonprofits focused on rescuing stray animals, which gave me even more hands-on experience with pets who need extra patience and gentle care to feel safe again. I take the time to really get to know each animal's personality. If your dog is high-energy and ready to play the moment I walk in, I'm all for it. If your cat needs a little space to warm up first, I'm happy to let them set the pace. Patience is a big part of how I work. I never rush an animal into feeling comfortable, because building trust is what makes the experience good for both of us. I'm also very comfortable with pets that need extra attention, whether that's medication for senior dogs or the constant supervision young puppies need. No pet is too much for me to handle with care. Communication matters just as much as the care itself, so you can expect regular photo and video updates while you're away, so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and having a great time. I'm local, reliable, and genuinely invested in becoming a familiar, trusted face for your pet, not just a one-time booking. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm currently in college and taking classes online so my schedule is super flexible! I don't have a set daily routine that pet care has to squeeze into — instead, I can build my day around your pet's needs. Whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or being around all day for a nervous pup who needs company, I'm able to make it work. Since I'm home and online most of the time anyway, I'm available pretty much whenever you need me. When I'm caring for pets in your home, I like to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible: same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits they're used to, so they feel secure even with their owner away. I always do a walkthrough with you beforehand so I know where everything is (food, leashes, meds, favorite toys) and any specific instructions for your pet. While I'm there, I split my time between giving them attention/playtime and just letting them relax on their own terms, especially if they're more independent. I also treat your home with the same respect I'd want for mine: keeping things tidy, being mindful of noise, and making sure everything is exactly as you left it when you get back.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets. I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and or cats. I am available to care for your pet or pets on weekends, weekdays and holidays. I cannot currently board animals at my home due to various reasons. I will be sure to offer that if I can in the future. Thank you.

Donna was amazing with all my little doggies. She really went the extra mile to ensure my doggies were comfortable and well taken care of. She was very sweet to my boys and did everything just as I would do so that made me feel so content leaving them with her. She sent me photos and text updates my entire trip and I very much loved seeing them everyday. She’s amazing and I would highly recommend her. Thank you Donna for all that you did I really appreciate you.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities and truly love spending time with animals. I’m a patient, dependable, and attentive caregiver who treats every pet like family. My dogs have always been a huge part of my life, including my sweet RayRay, who taught me so much about patience, love, and the special bond we share with our pets. I recently adopted my French Bulldog, Ichabod (“Iggy”), and I’m continuing to learn and understand each dog’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), or lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I love being able to include pets in my daily routine. I plan my schedule around making sure they get the care, attention, and love they need. Whether it’s walks, playtime, meals, or just keeping them company, I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Creating a safe and comfortable space for pets is very important to me. I know how much trust it takes to leave someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I pay attention to the little things — their habits, boundaries, and what helps them feel relaxed. In my home or yours, I’ll treat your pet and your space with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

Makayla so obviously loves animals! Our 11 month old Lab “puppy” is crazy about her and could care less when my husband and I leave. I don’t need to worry at all while we’re away, plus we get photos and updates too. She’s intelligent, caring and personable. We will most definitely call on her again. Jan &Tex Billings

Regina is amazing. She took amazing care of my sweet senior pup Bodie. She was patient with him as he is a little stubborn on walks with new people. She left my apartment sparkly clean and was super communicative. I’m so glad I found Regina and I hope to have her watch Bodie again soon. Highly recommended.

About: I've taken care of dogs for 3 weeks at a time. I've trained dogs basic skills like sit, down, roll over, turn around, leave it, and sit and stay. I've had many dogs of my own and 2 cats I'm available to watch animals before and after work and I can also attend to them in between 12 and 1 on my lunch break. I work from 8:00 to 5:00. I'm early riser. I Love to keep them happy while their owners are away. When I'm caring for animals, I spend time with them I make sure they're well fed and have plenty of water. What makes me happy is having your baby happy while you are away. I love taking them for walks or even going to the park. I do like cuddling. I have no problem with your fur baby sleeping with me at night.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and at this moment I have 2 friendly dogs; a 13 year old terrier mix and a 2 year old mini pitcher. I have a quiet clean (not scrubbed just cozy) home. Dogs are able to sit on couch, sleep with me in my king bed, have snack breaks and go in the backyard for potty breaks and to play fetch. My fenced backyard has a large grass area and a covered patio, we spend lots of time hanging out there on nicer days. I own my home in a nicer neighborhood since 2012. I'm super casual and easy going with a drug, smoke and alcohol free home. Your dogs will be spoiled! Dogs have lots of indoor and outdoor play time. If dogs have thier own dog food, I'll put the other dogs outside to make sure they get thier meal times otherwise I have plenty of blue buffalo dog food I mix with Purina. A morning potty out back while I prepare and separate dog bowls then they can all come in unless a dog is on a special diet then ill feed them separately. My backyard is fenced with locked gates. They get treats throughout the day and a dinner before bed. Then if they want to sleep on the bed with me they can otherwise there's thick blankets on the floor near me.

About: I grew up on a small farm, and from as young as I could remember, I was always the “Animal Wrangler”, and main caretaker for my friends’ and family's pets, anytime I would visit. I started pet sitting more professionally in 2012, beginning Team Max as an All-In-One, Pet/House/Child Sitter, with Cleaning, Transportation, and General Task Assistance available, as additional services. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals, from big to small, old, or wild, and most with special needs. (Only Spiders are off limits). I’m currently getting my degree in Animal Training, followed by a Vet Tech degree; so, soon I’ll have a brochure of training opportunities I can provide and more. I'm available 24/7 for short term and long term stays; including emergency visits, performing additional tasks, and providing grooming or training services during anytime of the year! I like to build a foundation of trust by meeting with my clients beforehand. Not only for us and the pets to feel safe and comfortable, but, I enjoy getting a walk-through of the house, learning how it functions, and talking through any concerns, prior to the first stay or visit.

We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and the genuine love she has for animals. We highly recommend Maryann to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you, Maryann, for taking such amazing care of Lucca!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs in my home since I was 7 years old, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to my 2 year old Goldendoodle, who is truly my soul dog and the best thing that has ever happened to me. Because of him, I understand how much love and trust pets need to feel safe and happy. Over the years, I have pet sat for many of my coworkers, family members, and friends, giving me experience with pets of all ages and personalities. Because I work three 12-hour shifts a week. I have several full days off during the week that I dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I’m usually home with my own Goldendoodle, which makes it easy for me to give other pets plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I enjoy being active, so daily walks and exercise fit naturally into my routine, and I love having the flexibility to pet sit for families during weekdays, evenings, or weekends I’m not scheduled at the hospital. I respect your pet’s routine and space, keeping them comfortable and stress free. I love providing a safe space providing attentive care, follow instructions closely, and keep you updated.

About: I have spent a lot of time pet sitting family dogs, including powerful breeds like Pitbulls, Belgian Malinois, and German Shepherds. This hands-on experience taught me exactly how important structure and leash training are for a safe environment. Being a shorter person, I prefer to specialize in walking small dogs, medium dogs, or larger dogs who are already trained on the leash and calm when seeing others. Although I do have experience walking dogs who pull or get too excited, I want to ensure safety for your pet, myself, and others around me. However, if your larger pup is still working on their leash manners, I am more than happy to care for them entirely at home, focusing on indoor playtime, backyard fun, and tons of love! I am also a cat mom of 4 and love all types of cats. I currently have a flexible schedule. Whether your pup or kitten needs a last-minute check-in, a mid-day walk or your pet requires strict, timely medication schedules, I am around to help. When I am in your home, safety and respect for your space are my priorities. I treat your home with care, ensuring doors are securely locked, gates are latched, and your home is left exactly as I found it. I can follow strict instructions to ensure that your pet’s needs are met. I also love sending quick photo updates with every visit, so you have total peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. I have had many dogs with different personalities and preferences. One of my dogs requires special care so I am very patient and understanding! My cat is also the most spoiled guy you will ever meet so trust me I understand all the little important details that these guys and girls need! I work part time and my schedule varies. I also have weekends off. It is very flexible and can adjust days and times based on what is needed from me. I have a big fenced backyard and my own room as well. If you pet prefers to sleep in a crate we have plenty of space, but I would love to share my bed. Unless the temperature doesn’t allow my dogs personally prefer to be outside but are welcome in but can be in a separate space if needed. Everything is very flexible

Maria was wonderful! She took such great care of our two dogs and cat while we were out of town. She was very attentive and responsive to our messages and calls, which gave us so much peace of mind. She also handled giving one of our pets medication with no problem at all. When we got home, all three pets were happy, calm, and relaxed, which says everything. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands and would absolutely hire Maria again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ripon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Ripon on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 620 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ripon. 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 Ripon 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 Ripon 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 Ripon 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 with handling special pet needs in Ripon. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
