“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!”
“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!”
About: Hi folks! 👋🏼 My name is Michaela. I’m a vet med worker, a mama to a multi-pet household, and am a passionate animal rescue volunteer/foster. I’ve been involved with caring for animals in various settings for nearly two decades. I take pride in my ability to treat animals of all sorts with the utmost respect and love regardless of their history. It’s a top priority of mine to make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable when they’re with me! I believe it’s integral to take my time building a bond with them. Through both my academic and professional experiences, I’ve done additional behavioural training that provides me with more understanding and knowledge on how to make a safe space for both cats and dogs by reducing fear, stress, and anxiety. I have a keen passion for providing care to pets in their golden years and/or who have medical needs. If your pet requires medication to be administered - I’m your gal! If you and your pet are comfortable with it, I often try to sneak in a good nail trim or ear cleaning! Another bonus is that I love to take and send photos of your pet (if allowed) so you can see how they’re doing. 🐾 If you have any questions and/or are interested in booking, send me a message! I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s). - Fear Free certified - Rates are negotiable I currently have a flexible schedule now that I’ve returned to the area and am able to accommodate additional bookings and drop-ins for your pets! Let me know what particular needs are required, I’ll do everything I can to meet them. I have a sharp eye for minimizing potential dangers in various settings.
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!
“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: What sets me apart is my passion for animal care, backed by my Master's degree in Zoology. With extensive knowledge of animal behavior and biology, I provide top-notch care for pets of all ages and needs. Specializing in puppy training, I help shape young minds and behaviors. I'm also experienced in caring for senior pets, understanding their unique requirements and needs. Additionally, I'm comfortable administering medications, ensuring your pet receives the best possible care. Trustworthy, knowledgeable, and loving, I'm dedicated to giving your furry friends the attention and care they deserve. I'm happy to care for a wide range of pets, including reptiles, snakes, birds, and exotic animals, and I'm comfortable with unique or specialty pets, willing to learn about their specific needs. As a recent graduate from Nipissing University, I'm excited to start my career and find a fulfilling full-time role that aligns with my passion for working with dogs. Flexible and enthusiastic, I'm available for various shifts, whether morning, evening, or beyond, and I'm eager to dedicate time to providing exceptional care and companionship to canine friends Both works for me because, as my pervious experience i have taken care for pets on client's house. However, anything works for me just gimme a heads up
About: Although I may not be very experienced at dog sitting, I can assure that I am excellent at following instructions in terms of dog care. Most importantly I love all animals and most of my expertise is with cats but it would be a new and exciting experience to pour my heart out in taking care of dogs I have no job and I’m just a university student who studies barely anything so most of my attention would be towards the pets so with my service I can provide all the attention and needs of a pet be it playing, cleaning, hugging, petting, feeding etc I have had 3 cats back home in India I keep them indoors as its risky to leave them out in India. I would still follow the same in canada as I have taken care of a family’s 4 cats multiple times here throughout last year and this year very recently, literally a week before of making my account. I follow their detailed instructions in terms of food and cleaning and most importantly the love and care for all the kitties so much so that i cuddle and sleep with 2 of them as they are more open to it
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Bay is $67

Michaela was outstanding. We had her house sit our husky and cat on our wedding weekend and we could not have felt better about it. Our husky can be anxious around new people and reactive on walks but Michaela was able to meet him first and handled him beautifully, making everyone comfortable. She sent us pictures through the weekend and kept us up to date on what was happening. So glad I gave Rover a shot and booked her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Bay on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 15 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.
