“Mercedes was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! She communicated thoroughly and consistently. She sent lots of pictures and met the needs that we requested. She made the process so smooth and relieved stress for my husband and I about the well-being of our puppies. When needed she will be our first choice in the future and would recommend her 1000%!”
“Mark was wonderful with our Loki and made both him and us very comfortable while we were gone. He communicated frequently and sent us pictures everyday. This was our first experience with rover and we couldn’t have asked for better. Will be using him again without a doubt!”
“Evie did a great job babysitting our dog! She communicated and sent pictures throughout! We came home and everything was very tidy! Super happy with her services!”
“Emma did a great dog with our dog while we were away! Made sure she got outside and our fur baby was surprisingly calm when we arrived back home. It stormed and she even rescued my windchime and picked the over abundance of veggies that ripened while we were gone!”
“Stephanie offers pet parents excellent communication and is a very responsible sitter. Our cats love Stephanie, even the super skittish one. We look forward to booking her again.”
“Emily took amazing care of my animals and my home! She sent pictures daily and all my fur babies were happy and healthy when I returned. My home was clean and just as I left it. I definitely recommend!”
“Abbi is the absolute best person we could find on this app. Abbi has stayed with our boy twice now in our home. Our dog loves her, is well taken care of and upon our return we find our home as cleaner as we left it. Abbi is very attentive with daily updates and pictures. She is def the kind of person that will exceed whatever expectations you set. I don’t look for anyone else when I need the pup taken care of.”
About: Hi, my name is Bee and I have a huge love of all animal (and bug!!) species - big, small, furry, scaled, or even venomous - I love ‘em all! I have volunteered at several pet shelters and wildlife rehabilitation centers here in Toledo, Monroe, and in the Cincinnati area. I have had my own pets that I’ve had responsibility for since the age of 14 and have experience with handling senior animals through them, and now own 3 Maine Coons of my own, so I also understand handling some giant beasts! I am comfortable administrating medications as long as instructions are clear and defined, as well as any other necessities for medical well-being. As long as communication is open and clear between us humans, then I will provide the best services I possibly can to your best friend / fur baby / employee / squatter ! I am currently exploring my passions through volunteer work in the community, thus I have a flexible schedule. As long as I have a somewhat notice of time, I should be able to fit you in! I am a volunteer at organizations such as Imagination Station, Metroparks, Red Cross, The Toledo Zoo, and many more! My passion really is making the community a more accessible and better experience for all cultures and people. I would love to help in the aide of pet care as well!
“Jennifer did amazing watching our two dogs. She was very attentive, caring-staying in our home, taking them on numerous walks a day and so patient with our more timid girly. Getting her updates with pictures was reassuring and I would love to book her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was young. I have pet sat for my friends, family and some of our neighbors. I have two dogs and a tortoise. I love working with animals and seeing their personalities. I have experience working with cats and dogs. I’m am currently working part time, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available on week days and weekends. At my job my shifts are 5 hours. I am very reliable with any accommodation that your pet might need. I’m respectful and responsible of any boundaries the client might have. I aim to keep your fur babies comfortable and safe while you’re away.
“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”
About: I’m 24 years old, im a part time stna and part time dog sitter! Im a pet owner, I’ve grew up with pets my entire life. I grew up with cats, dogs, fish, goats. I love to care for animals/ people who can’t take care/speak for themselves😇 I currently work a part time, night shift job during the week Tuesday-Thursday. I am available on weekends at ANY TIME for boarding, house sitting or drop-in visits. And during the week I am also available any time after 9am! For any pet they need to be fed, bathed, time to play, let outside to potty and just be a nice companion to them everyday. I’m a pet owner myself so I already do the everyday chores/ needs that are needed for care. It’s been a lifelong routine of mine that I’m accustomed to.
“Bobbie was amazing- dedicated, thorough, and so great with the pets! I have a senior dog and two cats and she immediately put them at ease and sent lots of pictures and updates that reassured me that my babies were in good hands. I’m so grateful for her dedication and care- it’s never easy to be away from my pets, but it’s easier when I know that the person with them truly enjoys them, and Bobbie does. She has a gift, and we’re lucky to have found her!”
“Katy is an absolute gift to the Rover community. Leaving our dog and cat with a non-family member for the first time was nerve-wracking, but Katy immediately put all our anxieties to rest. From the moment she walked in for the meet-and-greet, our pets adored her. Even my normally shy cat—who usually hides from visitors—came right out to greet her. Honestly, it felt like our pets had known her in a past life; that’s how comfortable they were! Katy is reliable, punctual, and goes above and beyond. She asked all the right questions, sent some of the best photos of our pets we’ve ever seen, and even came early and stayed late to make sure our dogs got extra potty breaks. Her detailed updates and genuine kindness made being away so much easier. I almost hesitate to leave this glowing review because I know everyone will want to book her, but she truly deserves it. If you book with Katy, you won’t regret it!”
“Lily was great! Professional communication, gave us an update and photo while we gone, and left our home tidy. I would definitely recommend and plan to book her service again.”
“Kami was great. My dogs looked so happy with her. She stayed at my house and I felt so comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. She even put our trash out on trash day! Highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve grown up with two dogs, both are doodle mixes and one is a smaller dog and the other is a big dog so they have helped me learn how to care for dogs. Throughout my life as a teenager I’ve been tasked with basic dog watching duties here and there with a range of breeds, mostly doodle mixes with small and big dogs. Over this past year I’ve had more frequent dog watching jobs, mainly just check in visits with dogs while the owner is out of town or just busy in general. Recently, I had my biggest task which was watching 7 dogs for a week straight while staying overnight. With this task I had to provide medication for some of the dogs, feed every dog, take them outside frequently, and just basic caring duties for every dog. The sizes of dogs I had to watch were from very small to very big dogs. The breeds of dogs there were two Pitbulls, a French bulldog, two small doodle mixes, and two small Shih Tzus. Currently I’m a Sophomore at Bowling Green State University studying Accounting and I’ll also have a part-time job while I’m in school. So I should have plenty of time to care for dogs. Starting August 25th on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’ll be available anytime after 3:00 pm, and for Mondays and Wednesday’s anytime after 4:00pm works for me. For Fridays between 4-9 pm I’m available. Finally for Saturdays and Sundays anytime before 9:00 pm I am available to care. My dogs at home are very friendly and easy to care for. I help with feeding, walking, playing, and bathing. For any client I’ll be able to provide those services as well, and also other things such as providing medicine for any clients pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 311 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stony 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 Stony 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 Stony 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 Stony 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.
