“Alexa was wonderful with our cat and angora rabbits. She was very responsive and kept us up to date each day while we were away, which was very appreciated. I will definitely book with her again in the future”
“Couldn’t have asked for more from David. I was 3 hours away when I noticed in my camera that my dog was eating his bed in his crate. It was David’s first ever visit with my dog and I put the poor guy through the wringer. He made sure my dog was ok and I am so grateful for everything.”
“So happy Nicole is on rover! It was so nice to meet her and I appreciated her care, communication, and amazing photos! I knew my boys were safe and looked after and I think they had some pretty fun playtime when Nicole was visiting”
“Isabella could have a career as a pet photographer as she always sends beautiful photos while I am away from home. She gets my male cat to pose as if he's going on the cover of GQ Cat magazine and even takes good photos of my people shy cat who likes to hide!”
“Jamie is wonderful!! I really appreciate how she goes above and beyond for my cats. She goes out of her way to make sure to send me good photos of each of my two cats at every visit, even when they are hard to find.”
About: I've cared for many cats and dogs, from pit bulls to terriers to English bulldogs. I have experience with puppy training, senior dog care, and oral medication administration. I'm a patient and compassionate pet owner, and I promise to treat your fur babies with the same love and care I would my own. I'm also a graduate music student in case your pet might want to be serenaded by a french horn :) I'm a musician and graduate student at Bard. My schedule changes quite a bit, but I always have a good idea of what my schedule will look well in advance. In addition, I am generally free most mornings, and can often be flexible. I'm very happy to provide your dog(s) with walks, food, brushing, bathing, and medication. I love to play fetch with dogs, go on walks or hikes, visit dog parks, cuddle, practice tricks, or any other enriching activity. With cats, I love to cuddle, play, and practice or try new tricks with treats.
“Joe is the an excellent pet sitter. He helped us with a last minute booking and even made himself available for a meet and greet that same afternoon! He is very friendly and his communication skills are spot on. He cares very much for animals as is evidenced by his love for his own dear pup. He took wonderful care of our two frenchies, one being an old guy with mobility issues the other being an energetic 2 year old. I would not hesitate to highly recommend nor engage him in the future.”
“Vicki is generous and enthusiastic about animals. She took to my cat immediately and provided many updates and clearly had quality time with her. I’m looking forward to working with Vicki long-term. Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and I’ve loved each of them tremendously. At the moment I have two beautiful rescue dogs! I have my own dog who is my best friend, and a part of my family. I believe all dogs become a part of our families. I will take care of your dog like I would take of my own and treat them like family. I work within a school district, so right now my schedule is pretty free. I have a summer job that I work one night a week. I live with my parents in a beautiful home with a big yard. We have dog leads to tie up the dogs when they want to play outside. We also have a fenced in deck for them so they can be outside but not have to be tied up. I have two dogs and they love to play with each other, they are both full of so much energy.
“Shelby came through to help us with our dogs last minute and did an excellent job. The dogs got better walks with her than they're used to! So sweet and communicative and prompt. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Savannah was so amazing with our cat Tami She is truly a special cat lover and caretaker We came home to a calm and happy kitty! We enthusiastically recommend her!!!”
“Victoria was incredibly reliable, caring, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our dog was always excited to see her, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands.”
“Bridget went above and beyond to take care of our cat while we were away on a trip. Communication with Bridget was great and we were able to trust that our cat was in great hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“My dog immediately bonded to Rose as soon as she walked into the house. She has an incredible way with dogs, and a deep knowledge of their behavior and needs. She is a true dog lover! I feel grateful that we found her, as it is such a relief to know there is someone who can take great care of our canine family member when we cannot be around.”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful! My 11 year old cat was snuggling with her when she visited. Emily took great care of my baby and sent me photos and videos of her when I was traveling. I highly recommend Emily and will definitely reach out to her next time we go away!”
“Incredible rovers and people! Amanda and her husband went above and beyond with our puppy Rory. Couldn't have asked for a better duo to take care of her - meeting her beforehand, giving her love and attention, endless photos, cuddles and happiness. Ten out of ten recommendation for anyone in the Woodstock / Kingston area.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ruby on Rover is $52.17 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 767 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ruby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ruby stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ruby. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
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.
