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!
About: Hi! I’m Emily ☺️ I’ve raised two of my dogs from 5 and 8 weeks old, including one rescue at just 5 weeks, so I understand the patience, structure, and consistency puppies need. I’m comfortable with potty training routines, basic commands, crate training, and building good habits early on. I also have experience caring for multiple dogs at different ages (my oldest is 4), so I understand how to adjust care based on energy levels and individual personalities. We have a large yard where my dogs are trained to run safely, plus wooded trails right behind our home - perfect for supervised walks and outdoor enrichment. I love being active and outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own - with lots of love, patience, and cuddles. Your pup will be part of the family while they’re with me! 🐾 I currently have full availability - evenings and weekends included. I am open to multiple walks a day, or runs if preferred. Whatever your fur baby needs! I’m very comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, crate training, and reinforcing basic commands. I keep a structured but loving environment with plenty of supervision, playtime, and rest. I love being active, so your dog will get exercise, enrichment, and lots of attention. Of course, cuddles and downtime are just as important too! In a client’s home, I follow your dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. Whether that means sticking to feeding times, walk routines, crate use, or medication schedules, I’m attentive to details and committed to providing consistent, loving care.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Bay
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 of House Sitting in North Bay is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $87 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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, a background 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
