“Adrienne was absolutely wonderful with Quincy! She was incredibly attentive during her overnight stay. As a Type A dog parent, I provided a very thorough Quincy care document with everything she needed to know about Quincy and our home. Adrienne did a fantastic job taking notes, asking thoughtful and detailed questions, and making sure Quincy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout her stay. She was also very respectful of our home and took great care of everything while she was here. Although this stay was only one night, I couldn’t be more grateful to have found someone we feel comfortable trusting with Quincy. We’re already looking forward to her upcoming stays!”
“Sabrina is the absolute best!!!! I feel so blessed that we found her. She’s such a kind person with the sweetest energy. The animals flock to her!! She’s the only person we’ll be using from now on.”
“Abby did a phenomenal job house sitting and making sure our furry companions were happy and healthy. She was very communicative and sent pictures & a video. I appreciate the help and attentiveness. I recommend Abby and will rebook as needed if her schedule allows.”
“Kerri was wonderful with our pets. The cat hides and is afraid of everyone, but he took to her immediately. She even got a collar on him which I have not been able to do in the 10 years we have had him. The dog is needy and loves snuggles and Kerri gave her lots of love. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Kaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and I’m so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!”
“Thank you again for taking great care of our pups while we were travelling! My husband and I feel much more comfortable leaving our dogs behind knowing they are in good hands”
About: I was born and raised on a family farm. From the time I was born I have been riding in tractors and taking care of all sorts of animals. Growing up we always had dogs and cats in our home. I have always loved rescuing strays and rehabilitating injured animals of all shapes and sizes. I now have three fur babies of my very own and they are my life! If you entrust your pet with me I will not take it lightly as it is a deep honor and privilege. I love spoiling animals and giving them all the love. If I ever won the lottery I would adopt all of the oldest animals at the shelter and take them to my pet sanctuary. Please consider booking me so that I can continue to stay at home with my human baby as much as possible! 🐾 I am very part time right now since I stay home with my little one. I pick up evening shifts here and there but I am fairly free in the evenings once my husband gets home from work. Let me know what you need and we can work out a routine! I typically work with children and for that reason I understand the importance of trust, flexibility, and kindness. I will always uphold your privacy and I promise to do my best in every situation. I like to call myself an “over communicator” so I will always share details on your pet and I’m pretty good at taking pictures of fur babies too!
About: I have been taking care of my own personal dogs since I was 12 and have had other family members and people in my community rely on me to provide care to their pets. I am currently a full time college student and working a part time job, but I have lots of time throughout the day sectioned off that I am free to take care of your pets! I I have two dogs of my own, so I understand the lifestyle. I am very understanding and receptive when it comes to special requests or certain routines, I will always respect what the owner wants for their fur baby. Feel free to reach out and communicate if you need anything special from me, I’m more than happy to oblige!
“Hannah did a perfectly fine job watching our dog over the weekend. She handled his standard routine, followed our instructions, and kept him fed and let out on schedule. Communication was clear, she sent regular photo updates, and we came home to a happy, healthy pet. She is a reliable choice if you need someone to cover the core basics for a weekend trip.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years and love all animals! I have a perfect setup for animal care, including a walking trail behind my house. I’m home during the week-I have 2 middle school aged boys that are in school and my husband works long hours. I am able to get up early for morning walks or feedings. I have a fenced in yard, with stairs leading to a deck, walk out basement with kitchenette for food storage, play area, and a resting bedroom.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats personally over the last 8-9 years. I've also taken care of pets from neighbors, friends, and coworkers. I love working with animals I'm currently a student athlete in college. I'm also part time at work. I definitely can work with you to provide great care quality for your pets. I will make sure that all doors and fences be closed. Make sure every doors is locked in case some are curious. Make sure that there isn't anything on the floor that a dog or cat may swallow. Careful with food and treats that is given to them.
“Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have lots of experience caring for them. I regularly dog sit for neighbors, family friends, and people I know, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, longer stays, and administering medication when needed. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them plenty of attention, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work as a teacher’s assistant at a middle school during the school year. I’m available for pet care in the mornings before work and am home around 4 PM, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention in the afternoons and evenings. My weekends are generally free and give me additional flexibility for longer visits and overnight stays. I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a clean, tidy, and quiet one-bedroom apartment that’s welcoming to dogs, with plenty of space for them to relax! I’ll take the time to get to know your dog, follow their normal routine, and give them lots of attention and care. My goal is for them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time while you’re away!
About: We used to board rescue german short haired pointer dogs when I was growing up. I have also grown up with different kinds of dogs throughout my life. I have my own dog who I walk at least 2 to 3 times a day. She is a very energetic and active dog that keeps me busy. In the past I have tried my best to care for other people's pets with the same care I would do for my own dog.
About: My experience and extensive training sets me apart from other sitters. I know how to handle any situation that may arise. I’m responsible and will follow all instructions to the tee I am retired and available to care for your pets any time any day at your convenience. It will be just like you are there.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rocky Ridge. 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 Rocky Ridge 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 Rocky Ridge 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 Rocky Ridge 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
