“Sarah is an excellent catsitter. She is responsive and takes excellent care of my high needs cat, including administering medication. My apartment got cleaner during her stay! This is my second time hiring Sarah and I will certainly do so again. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m here to meet your furry babies. 🐾 Before moving to Canada, I spent 16 wonderful years caring for my own dog. Since we’re no longer living together, every opportunity to spend time with other pets truly makes me happy. (He is still happy, healthy and very much alive😂) Because I cared for a senior dog, I’m comfortable with basic medical care, including applying eye drops, ointments, giving pills or powdered type medication, and administering subcutaneous (under-the-skin) fluids if needed. I’m also happy to give your pet a bath if you’d like, as long as you provide the bath supplies. Also, I don’t offer full grooming services but I can trim nails and do light face trimming if you provide the necessary tools. Since moving to Canada, I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, small breeds, large breeds, kittens, and adult cats. To respect my clients’ privacy, I didn’t upload photos of pets I’ve cared for in my profile. However, while your pet is with me, I love sending lots of photos and videos every day, so you can feel connected and never have to worry too much or miss them too much! Please, feel free to share as many many details as possible about your pets—their routines, personalities, likes, dislikes, and anything else that helps me provide the best care for them! Can’t wait to meet new furry babies! ❤️ I’m currently staying home most of the time, so I’m available to work around your schedule on both weekdays and weekends. I usually take dogs out 3–4 times a day, but I’m happy to follow whatever routine they’re used to. If you have any preferences, such as extra outdoor time, indoor-only activities, or a specific potty schedule, I’d love to know in advance! As a owner of small old dog, your pet’s safety is always my priority. My home has two staircases and an attic. Whenever I take care of small dogs, I usually block off the stairs leading to the attic to help prevent injuries from jumping or climbing. And if you dońt want your little one to jump onto the couch or bed, Just let me know in advance! I also have a small front yard and backyard without fence, I always keep dogs on a leash whenever we step outside, even for a quick potty break. Our neighborhood is quiet, with a nearby school, making it a great area for safe walks. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m happy to follow your house rules and routine. Just let me know which areas of your home you’d like me to stay in and any preferences you have while I’m there.
“Melanie was awesome and did more then we could have asked for.. updated with pictures and made sure kita was walked fed and even gave medicine. Will definitely use her services again”

About: I have been trusted to care for many of my friends/ families pets. I have three dogs, two cats and a rabbit at home, but I’m away for school right now. I’m missing them so I am hoping to be able to meet new pets while I’m away! I have 3 high energy dog breeds and have dealt with any situation you can think of. I am reliable and trustworthy, and will give your fur baby the best care possible! I’m currently in teachers college and am available most days out of the week! I have classes Monday -Thursday and I am home every evening. I have a bunch of walking trails right across from my house, with plenty of room for your fur baby to run and play. I can crate your dog if needed and only am out of the house at maximum six hours a day, so your pet will be in great hands!

Sarah looked after my two cats Loki and Seamus for 7 overnight stays. She was very attentive to their needs and went above and beyond to make sure my boys were happy. Sarah was always available for updates and sent pictures regularly making my vacation so much more relaxing. I highly recommend Sarah and look forward to future bookings with her!
We hired Patrick to stay with our dog while we were away for our wedding, and could not recommend him more! He took the time to understand our dog’s needs, which was a worry for us given that she’s a rescue and can be reactive on walks. Patrick used his experience to ensure she was getting lots of exercise while we were away while prioritizing her safety and happiness. He sent us lots of updates and pictures, making sure we always knew how she was doing and didn’t have to worry about anything. Our dog was in very good hands with Patrick and we will definitely be looking to book him again for our pet care in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Bay on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 13 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Bay. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Bay 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 North Bay walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 North Bay 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
