“Emily is great with my pups. I received updates throughout the day and she understood the importance of their medication. She kept both my dogs calm and relaxed while we were away. Highly recommend Emily.”
“Victoria was wonderful she took care of our German shepherd. Was very respectful in our home and always sent pictures and updates. She also takes great notes is is very thoughtful.”
“Ashley stepped in for a last minute booking and was incredibly easy to work with. We had another Rover fall through last minute, but Ashley was available to help and saved our anniversary. She sent lots of pics, communicated well and took great care of our home and our dogs. 10/10, 5 stars- thank you so much!”
“Very nice and respectful sitter, provided updates and made my wife and I feel very secure leaving our fur babies with her, especially on a Holliday. We are grateful for her services and will not hesitate to rebook.”
“Evan & Quinn were the most thoughtful and reliable pet sitters we’ve ever met. They were able to help with a longer housesitting stay and care for our dog Sky AND her 5 newborn puppies. They went above and beyond to keep us updated daily and deal with all the little quirks and concerns that came up. They were also very courteous of our home and left everything neat and tidy. We would trust them with any pet care and will absolutely book them again.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 13 Years old and have had experience with both young and senior pets. I was responsible for training some of my own family's pets, and I enjoy adapting to basic training with puppies or providing gentle and patient care for older pets who need extra support. I am very reliable with feeding schedules, medications, and updates so you can feel fully confidnet you pet is in good hands! Pet care fits into my routine by being something I attentively prioritize and plan around. I structure my schedule so I can give pets full attention during visits and walks. I am flexible with all times throughout the day, whether that be mornings, afternoons, or evenings. This helps me to accommodate feeding schedules, exercise needs, and check-ins. I prioritize building my day to be reliable so each pet receives consistent and effective care. When I am caring for a client's pet, I follow an established routine to help pets feel comfortable and secure under my care. I prioritize important aspects of schedules, including feedings, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I keep homes clean, respect the spaces of those I am hired by, and love to provide regular photo updates so owners know their pet is doing well. My overall goal is to keep a calm, familiar environment that reduces stress for pets.
“Fawn has been a complete lifesaver! I didn’t know what to do as I had booked a long trip and then found out that my dog was pregnant. She not only took care of my dog but her 11 puppies as well and was there for them in the most thorough and considerate way. She kept in touch with me daily. Sent me updates. Communication was great and she was accommodating in more ways than I could’ve imagined. I would highly suggest her to anybody in need and trust her with my dogs more than I do myself. She is absolutely amazing!”
“Caroline was a wonderful sitter! She took great care of our dog and went above and beyond to accommodate unexpected situations. We felt extremely comfortable having her and are grateful for the many ways she helped us when we were traveling. We highly recommend her!”
“Nancy provided extraordinary service to our family. She drove to our RV to meet our Jack Russell Terrier, Missy, and stayed with her for hours while we enjoyed a coastal bike ride. Missy requires special attention due to her age and medical conditions, and Nancy went above and beyond to lovingly care for her. When Nancy visited a second time, Missy was excited and happy to see her. You will not be disappointed if you choose Nancy for your next pet sitting assignment.”
“We've had Parkre and Levi stop in and hang with our animals before, and they're always great, but having them house and pet sit for us has been above and beyond the best thing we could have ever done! We received so many photos and videos, plenty of updates, that we truly didn't have to worry about our zoo the entire time. We could tell from the pictures that both our dogs and all the cats felt completely comfortable and at ease during the entire stay. Plus, our house was spotless! Parkre vacuumed, mopped, ran laundry, took out trash, and had the house looking fabulous when we got back. Seriously, we almost cried from joy 😂 We will always be using these guys in the future 🥰”
“Rachel took such great care of not only my dogs, but our bunny, guinea pigs, chickens, garden and home! She was so communicative and also took the best pictures of my doggies and chickens. I’m so glad we found her!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for about six years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, feeding, walks, playtime, and daily care. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, from energetic young animals to older pets that need a little extra attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible and I am generally available at most times. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and last minute bookings whenever needed. I focus on clear communication, consistent routines, and attentive care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident, informed, and reassured while they are away.
“Reyna was absolutely awesome. Took great care of my home and cat, sent regular updates and was wonderfully communicative. Will always seek to book her first for my next travels. It was my first time using the app and she was patient with me and helped me figure out how to do it and what information to share.”
“Ukaesia did a great job taking care of our senior cat. He has medicine to take everyday and she provided it daily with no issues. I received a photo each time she was at the house and she followed everything I needed her to do with our litter box. I highly recommend her as she is super to work with, communicated clearly and provided excellent care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky Ridge
Kristine watched our 12 year old Aussie and 10 chickens for 7 days and she was wonderful. She was in contact with us every day and sent pictures of our Aussie. Just before we left, he had given himself a hotspot and he had to be in a cone the entire time we were gone. Kristine treated him with her own supplies and made a huge difference in healing him up before we got home. She took exceptional care of our sweet dog and our chickens and we returned to a neat and clean house. I would definitely recommend Kristine and will use her in the future to watch our animals and home.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rocky Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rocky Ridge on Rover is $38.85 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 3,325 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 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.

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.
