“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.”
“Evan was professional and showed care for my pets. He sent daily pictures, and asked appropriate questions. When my cat showed some behavioral issues due to shyness he asked questions and took the initiative to consult with the vet and find ways to help the poor guy. I would recommend him, and definitely rebook with him if/when needed.”
“Victoria is absolutely fabulous! My dogs adore her! She is excellent at communication and sending bunches of photos. She was also flexible with my schedule when I had to change the reservation at the last minute. I highly recommend Victoria!”
“Highly recommend Brianna to anyone looking for a dog sitter! She’s super friendly and very responsive. I felt very at ease with her watching our two dogs, we got a lot of pictures and videos of them being so good and so happy!”
“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!”
“I had reservations about leaving my fur babies with a stranger but Angel was absolutely amazing every step of the way. He answered all of my questions and gave several very detailed updates throughout the weekend, including pictures. It allowed me to relax and be able to focus on my trip instead of stressing about my pets well being. They were in very good hands! I came home to a clean house because Angel really went above and beyond, vacuuming and cleaning up when I didn't expect or ask him to. I would recommend him a thousand times over and will most definitely reach out to him if I'm ever in need of a sitter again! Thank you, Angel, for taking such amazing care of our furry family members!”
“Jessica was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us while we were away! It was our first time using Rover and we were incredibly pleased with our experience. Jessica was very friendly and sweet with our very nervous dog when we did our meet and greet prior to our trip. Throughout our time away she updated us with pictures and progress on how Nala was doing. Clearly she is wonderful with animals because our nervous pup seemed to be comfortable with her in no time at all. We would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a quality pet sitter/house sitter while they are away, and will definitely book her again in the future!”
“Christina did a fabulous job watching over a very busy and very mouthy GSD puppy. She also looked after our older cat, administering insulin injections to keep his blood sugar under control. Thank you, Christina!”
“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!”
“Drew really cares about animals. They went above and beyond to take care of my dog Oakley often times taking them to the park and paid close attention to details about my dog. Communication was top tier and she always updated me with pictures! If I ever need to book again I’m choosing drew!”
“Nancy took great care of our 2 senior/special needs dogs. May pictures were sent which were very appreciated. She also went above and beyond by taking/picking up from a kennel when she was not available for house and pet sitting”
“Khaytlen took amazing care of my Labradors while we were away on vacation! She was super communicative. She sent lots of photos and updates and she was very kind to humans and puppers!! Very trustworthy. Will book again for future needs! Thanks Khaytlen!!”
“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.”
“Katherine did a great job taking care of our dog and the house. We really appreciated her updates, communication, and cleanliness. We would highly recommend her and will be reaching out again in the future!”
About: I grew up in a large family with many pets. We had five dogs and two cats growing up, and I have had my own pets since. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats over the years, though I just moved back to Washington, so I have no pets at the moment. I currently have open availability and am able to provide visits or stay over at clients homes to care for pets. I’m able to arrange arrival and departure to fit your schedule. I am able to fit whatever needs the client has. If your pets are accustomed to being out and about in the home, I can spend time with them that way. I also am able to use kennels for feeding or sleeping if that’s what they are used to. I’m comfortable keeping things tidy and making sure it’s a safe and clean space for them to hang out.
“Parkre is wonderful! She was great with our brand new puppy and senior dog, took them outside and played with them a ton, sent us lots of pictures, communicated super well, and was really flexible with timing when our schedule changed. We came back to a clean house and happy pups. We love her and would highly recommend her!”
“Jessica has been a wonderful in-home sitter for my boxer puppy. She is extremely good with communication and always on time. Most importantly, my pup has a great time with her so I can feel better about being away!”

Angel has watched my boys a few times now. He gives great updates and pictures. I know my boys are being well taken care of! He also goes above and beyond and leaves the house cleaner than when he got there which is always greatly appreciated! You can rest easy when Angel is watching your pets.
Emily did an amazing job caring for my Phoebie girl! She kept me informed throughout her stay with regular updates, photos, and even pictures from their walks, which gave me so much peace of mind. Phoebie can be a little anxious and shy at times, but Emily was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with her. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about making Phoebie feel comfortable and loved. I felt completely at ease knowing my girl was in such trustworthy hands. Emily went above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive to care for their pet. I will definitely be booking with Emily again! 🐾💖
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 3,356 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.
