“Kyla was a fantastic pet sitter. She took care of our two dogs and cat while our family was on vacation. She kept us updated with pictures; she gave our animals plenty of love, and she made our vacation better because we knew our animals were cared for. No issues. We would absolutely invite her back to watch our animals again. Highly recommend!”
“Chloe was a repeat sitter and would 100% rebook. She constantly communicated about the dogs and what they were doing. I appreciate her attention to detail so much! I know Luna and Banjo love her too!”
“Gianna was wonderful to work with! She watched our two high energy dogs while we were out of the country for two weeks. She sent pictures every day which we loved. She communicated well and left the house in great shape. We would recommend booking her!”
“Absolutely was a life saver for me this past week. Incredible communication, went out of her way to be flexible for me, sent me updates as I needed them, and kept me up to date on every detail of her weekend with Bella. I would book her 100x over and have absolutely zero concerns she would be perfect for anybody in any situation! Cannot thank her enough!!!!”
“Overall, Kellsey was a great sitter for us! She was able to meet with us prior to her stay, my pets seemed to enjoy her, and she was able to sit over a holiday weekend without a ton of heads up. The only reason I’m knocking a star here is because she left our home much earlier than we agreed upon/I outlined in my Rover booking request, leaving my pets alone for many hours that day. This could have been a communication flub, but it’s something to think about. Thanks for caring for our pets well, Kellsey.”
“Emily watched our 4 babies: 2 dogs and 2 cats for 4 days while we went on vacation. She did everything we asked, and sent us so many updates and photos. We had never left them before, (and our oldest is almost 7). So to say I was anxious, is a huge understatement. She even got our extremely antisocial cat to interact with her, she’s the best.”
“Sage & Aidan spent a loving day with our puppy at our hotel room during our visit to Indianapolis. This allowed our family to spend a long day of touring, while our puppy was in safe and good hands!”
“10/10 recommend Karin! She took wonderful care of my car and dog while I was out of town for two weeks. It made me nervous to leave them for so long, but Karin quickly showed how much love and affection they’d get while she was there!”
“We keep rebooking Anna, and we’ll keep doing it as long as she lets us! She always takes great care of our babies and our home. We can always trust her, which is huge for us. She went above and beyond for our pup when a weird ear thing popped up while we were out of town. So grateful!”
“Tucker stayed with jedi all weekend, he took him on walks, kept me updated (with pictures) and gave him the attention he deserves. Jedi liked his company and I will happily rebook if he is available for my next trip.”
“Zoe was incredible. Our house was clean when we came back home, and she handled all the animal care flawlessly. She checked in multiple times a day and went above and beyond making all our critters comfortable, even amidst a minor medical issue with our dog. We’ll be booking Zoe for all our trips in the future.”
“We were leaving our 7 year old labradoodle with someone other than family for the first time. Monica made it so much easier. Our dog loved her and we received plenty of pics and regular reports while away. I appreciate the little things she did to make phoebe and myself comfortable with something that was new for us!”
About: Hey there! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with 5+ years of professional experience offering pet sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and loving pets usually warm up to me right away! I’m reliable, attentive to routines, and always follow instructions carefully to keep your pets safe and happy. I have a 17 year old cat of my own named Merv that I absolutely love. He’s a sweetheart and gets along well with others. I’ve had many dogs like 2 English bulldog’s, and a Black Lab. They all lived a happy life and passed of old age. I’m hoping to welcome another cat or dog soon. I take pride in providing compassionate, high quality care every visit. Your pets will be in great hands! 🐾💛 I do pet care full time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the week, with boarding available most days as well. I only accept one pet family at a time for boarding, so your pet will always have my full attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. It’s just me, my boyfriend, and my cat Merv at home, and I create a calm, loving environment. I’ve had two English Bulldogs and a Black Lab who lived long, happy lives, so I understand different needs and temperaments. I do not overbook and only care for one pet family at a time, ensuring a safe, low stress, and personalized experience. 🐾💛

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky Ripple
Skylar took excellent care of our doggies! She sent us pics and updates nearly everyday. The dogs were very happy and contented when we returned home so we knew they had a good time. And she left the house spotless clean. She is so sweet and we will definitely ask her to watch them again!
Brittany has become a go-to house sitter for me. My dog loves her. Her schedule aligns really well with my remote working schedule so the pal is never alone for long periods. I can leave the house with complete peace of mind knowing she’s going to be here for both short and longer stays. Thank you Brittany!!!
Cecilia did an amazing job watching our dog and house while we were away on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of everything. Our pup absolutely loved her! We would highly recommend Cecilia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Chloe was professional and kind throughout the process. She sent us pictures of our puppy daily and somehow managed to make our Goldendoodle look like she was smiling. Upon our return we found the home was clean and picked up just as we had left it. Would highly recommend
So grateful for Amy! I had the most dumpster fire level few days before leaving on a trip and had to change a lot of my cat’s processes last minute. She rolled with it all so well. I felt so relieved she was so on top of it and he clearly loved so spending time with her too. He was well taken care of and I’ve already booked her again for my next trip. She’s awesome!
Hailey was flexible, dependable and communicative! From our first meeting it was clear that Theo would be in good hands! She administered medicine for him, took him for walks and even checked in when out smoke alarm battery was low to ensure the chirping sound wouldn’t bother him. Would absolutely book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Rocky Ripple
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rocky Ripple on Rover is $49.05 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 1,484 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rocky Ripple. 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 Ripple 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 Ripple 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 Ripple 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 Rocky Ripple. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
