“Madison is amazing! We used her for in-house sitting for our two dogs while we were away for a week, and she took very good care of our pets. She sent us regular updates, and it was clear they loved her as well because they kept looking for her in the spare bedroom after we got home. Bonus: we also came home to a spotless house.”
“Jill was excellent with Peanut & Biscuit. She constantly kept in touch with us throughout our weekend away with texts and pictures. Thank you Jill for taking care of our babies!!”
About: I have taken care all kinds of dogs and cats Since I was a kid. I have two cats of my own and have had dogs in the past. Neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets. I am currently in nursing school. My classes are scheduled in the morning time with the afternoons free. I am also available for boarding on the weekends and weekdays after 3:30pm. I live in an apartment with my two cats with plenty of enrichment and toys available. At people’s houses I am respectful of their privacy and space making sure to clean up after myself.
“As newcomers to the area, we were nervous about leaving our dogs with someone we didn’t know. Ashley put our minds at ease by sending regular updates and photos so we knew they were in great hands. When a few severe thunderstorms stressed one of our dogs, she reached out right away, asked all the right questions about how we normally would handle it and made sure our pup was as comfortable as possible. We appreciated her thoughtful communication and care she gave our dogs!”
“My husband and I have been using Rover for a few years now and have found wonderful pet sitters. However Julia and Eric truly go above and beyond! They took wonderful care of our older dogs while we were away, and sent the best photos and videos. I’ve never felt so at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Thank you Julia and Eric, we’ll for sure rebook in the future!”
“Mariana was absolutely amazing taking care of my two dogs during my 12-day vacation! She handled their daily medications, strict feeding routines, and regular walks with absolute care and professionalism. I received wonderful daily updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while away. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when I got home. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book with her again!”
“Danielle took excellent care of my pets. Took lots of photos and sent updates throughout the stay. My pets were happy and well cared for when I returned. I would definitely book with her again”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing with my babies. My original boarding was fully booked so I was hesitant to use Rover, but she made me feel at ease. She provided lots of updates and photos - will definitely be using her again! :)”
About: We are located on 5 acres fully fenced in Land O' Lakes. It's like have a full doggie park out the front door. We love it!! We have been watching dogs for friends and family for years. The kids love playing with dogs. Any medication your pet(s) may need we will handle. Any special toys or beds are welcomed (and encouraged) to be brought, along with food/water bowls. We want your furry family member to feel right at home. If the furry family member needs special attention with anything we will accommodate those needs. When you are on vacation, your furry family member will be on their own little vacation in a home away from home. We look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. We love all dogs! Pet care is our everyday life. We are up between 5:30 and 6am. The larger dogs get a 1.5 to 3 mile walk every morning. The smaller and older dogs get a walk to more suit their individual needs. After the morning walk its breakfast time with one more short out before we are off to work. The pups get an afternoon walk along with a longer evening walk before dinner. Then shortly before bedtime we go outside one more time. This is normal day, but will be modified around the pups needs and our schedule. All pups are treated as they are part of our family while in our care. They get loved, pets and playtime. We allow all pups on the sofa and bed (unless asked by the owner not too).
“We utilized Laura’s house sitting services and could not be happier! This was Laura’s first time with our 3 pups and she did a great job! Our busy pups were relaxed and happy when we came home! The house was left clean. She communicated well throughout the stay & sent lots of great pictures. 100% recommend Laura!”
“Harry did wonderfully with Makenna! She sent photos of him during their time together, which put my heart at ease. Also, while he was happy to see us, he was calm upon our arrival so I know having her with him eased his separation anxiety.”
“Kelli and Torrie were amazing pet sitters in my home! Beyond their sweet and adorable personalities, they took outstanding care of our fur babies! They were responsive and so easy to communicate with during the whole booking process. Max and Sophie looked so happy in all of the pictures they sent us every day, I thought they wouldn’t want us to come back home! We will definitely call them again!”
“Rhoda did such an amazing job taking care of my baby! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and really gave me peace of mind while traveling. She also kept my place very clean and was a great house sitter. I highly recommend Rhoda!!”
“Katherine was absolutely amazing and made our vacation a lot more relaxing knowing our fur baby was well taken care of. Would highly recommend her and would love to use her services again.”
“I can’t even begin to explain how amazing Rico was during our 2 weeks away from our beloved pup. I’ve read reviews saying “my dog might like Rico more than me” and I agree😂 Our dog definitely built a strong bond with Rico. He would send updates, report cards, and pics/videos DAILY! He didn’t just dog sit but he spent time training, nurturing and caring for our boy. He was very thorough and even asked questions that I didn’t think of! Very trustworthy, reliable and professional. 100/10 recommend (but beware your dog may not want you to come back😂) !! Signing up for training sessions ASAP. He’s awesome!”

This was our first extended trip in several years and Alyssa answered the call when we reached out to her. Coco and Sallie love Alyssa and she did not disappoint once again. The daily updates with videos was very nice to see how our girls were doing. Sallie, our "Senior" maltipoo has some health issues as she is getting up there in age that require daily medications & Alyssa did a tremendous job!! Sallie and Coco absolutely love Alyssa. Alyssa and Landon are the best in the business and highly recommended for your pets needs! Thank you Alyssa for taking tremendous care of our two "girls"
Jill - You were amazing! Littleman seemed to get along with you great! Thanks for the texts and photos during my trip. I appreciated you keeping the house clean and tidy the way I do. I look forward to working with you at the end of the month! I highly recommend your services to everyone reading this review!!!!!
As always, when I leave Pretty Kitty in Sami’s care I have complete peace of mind while I’m away. Sami sends me pictures and tells me of the funny antics they experience together. Sami also is very respectful of my house and tends to the kitty’s daily routines, including giving meds as prescribed. I highly recommend Sami as a very professional, compassionate pet sitter.
Sarah stayed with my dog for 11 days in my home. She is a lovely person and a wonderful caretaker!. My dog was happy and serene when I got home and my house was immaculate. I hope Sarah is available the next time I go away - in fact, I may plan my travel around her availability!
Crystal was an absolutely wonderful housesitter and dogsitter! She took great care of our senior dog and our home, and was also great about communicating and providing updates (and we loved that she sent plenty of cute photos and videos too). We highly recommend her!
We hired Madie for a trip that another person canceled on us last minute. We needed a house/pet sitter. It was very stressful but Madie came in, did a great job with our pets and was very respectful to our home. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!! She gave us updates and pictures multiple times per day.
Mary is fantastic! It’s the 2nd time we book her to sit our dogs and we’ve had a wonderful experience both times. She’s proactive and if she thinks there’s anything she can do to better handle our dogs, she will ask questions and make it happen. She loves our babies and we love her!
Trace gave Pretty Kitty all the love & attention she craves. I was very pleased with her attention to specific instructions: meds & routines. I received daily photos of PK showing how content she was. Trace also gave thoughtful care to my home. I will definitely like to use Trace again!🐾

FAQs for House Sitting - Greater Northdale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Greater Northdale on Rover is $43.6 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,261 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Greater Northdale. 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 Greater Northdale 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 Greater Northdale 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 Greater Northdale 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
