“Desiree was awesome and was super friendly. This was my first time using Rover and it didn’t disappoint! She took care of my kitty for 6 days and did an amazing job and her pictures she sent were so nice to see. If I need Rover again, I will definitely book with Desiree!”
“As usual, Camron was great! All of our cats are comfortable with her and while they still hide, they no longer run away - they will take treats directly from her. One will be adventurous enough to come out for a chin scratch. Camron is great and I highly recommend!”
“Alyssa was very good as usual! Have always used her for long trips but this was the first times I did a drop in visit for an hour dur to being gone for several hours. Coco and Sallie loved seeing Alyssa again and it was great to get several photo/video updates!”
About: I have owned 2 dogs of my own, as well as sitting for many friends and family. My very first job at 10 years old was requested by my neighbors to watch their dogs while they were away. I have experience with all ages, including senior dogs, as my own both required a lot of hands on care in their golden year, including bi-weekly fluids, medications and special diets. I work part-time, sometimes in the morning to late-afternoon or late-afternoon to evening, usually 4 days a week. This schedule is not the same every week but I usually know 2 weeks ahead of time. There is someone home everyday after 5pm and all day Friday-Sunday as well. I have a townhouse with a fenced in yard. No ability to crate at the moment but plenty of space to crate if one can be provided. There are currently no other animals in my house, as my Biscuit cross the rainbow bridge last year. Both people in the home have owned pets, and have experience with care. Someone is home most of the time, minimal hours alone if any. Weekends will have someone home all day. House has step that can easily be blocked off by a gate if needed.
“Madison is the best of the best. She took care of our furry friend while we went on vacation. She provided exceptional pet sitting services, with genuine care and responsibility. We were so happy to come home, but knew that our cat was well taken care of while we were away. If we could give her 6 stars, we would!”
“had an amazing experience! She took such great care of Max and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She is bilingual, super sweet, and very communicative. I loved that she sent me frequent updates, messages, and pictures of Max it really meant a lot to me. You can tell she genuinely cares for the pets she looks after.”
About: Hi my name is Mariana! I’m a college student and I’ve always loved dogs, unfortunately, I didn’t grow up with one, however, that only made my heart fonder of them. I have experience with taking care of my friend’s dog while he went to Bolivia for a week in my home as well as taking care of my boyfriend‘s family dogs (5) for two weeks while dropping by 3 to 4 times a day. I’m excited to bring love and care to your home, while also staying professional and attentive! I’m currently taking summer classes and they’re both online so I have a very flexible schedule for any pet care over the summer. I care for pets in my clients home by staying attentive and professional while also providing a level of care and affection. I also have respect for my clients home and their belongings.
“Jen was absolutely wonderful to meet. She has a great background in veterinary medicine and she was very thorough with her questions that me as a pet owner feel comfortable that they were in good hands. She did an amazing job caring for them while I was away, gave great updates via text and report card/pictures through the rover app. I will definitely requesting her services again in the future!”
“Lori is a phenomenal care taker for my fur babies.You can feel very comfortable knowing she has everything under control and the fur babies are in great hands., My babies love her.,”
“During our initial meet and great I could tell that Pam loves cats. My cat, who usually runs from everyone she doesn't know, loved Pam as well. This made me feel completely comfortable leaving my cat in Pam's care. Receiving pictures everyday really helped put me at ease as well. I would highly recommend Pam and will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need a cat sitter!”
About: I've been around animals for most of my life and have always had a special love for them. I grew up with cats and have helped care for family dogs over the years, including feeding, playtime, walks, and as many kisses as they will tolerate from me lol. I also completed community service at a local animal care facility in High School where I gained experience working around a variety of animals and learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and attentive care. As a pet sitter and dog walker, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and reliable companion, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I'll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family members! I’m currently working part time serving so most of my days are free! This is a win win for me because i’m a hot girl walk lover!! I have two cats at home so I won’t be able to house any pets at my apartment but I would be more than happy to travel to you and care for your pets in your home! I also have an SUV so I can take pups to the dog park or just a car ride if they like those!
About: I've always always been an animal lover and I've been taking care of animals specially dogs since I was a little child. I will take good care of your love ones. I'm working part-time from home and I have plenty of time to take care of your pets. I'll make sure to give the attention needed. I have a big fenced yard and your pet will never be bored. Your dog will have a great time just if he was on vacation.
“Kelby is awesome with my pitbull and chihuahua. She was timely throughout the whole process. My house looks the same as when we left for vacation. I will be using her services again”
About: I’ve had pets throughout my life. Most dogs approach me readily. I enjoy giving belly rubs and back scratching. Playing fetch in and outside and giving them attention I am retired and am available 7 days a week and am at home most of the day. I leave a sliding glass door and patio door open for them to go in and out freely I have a fenced back yard with plenty of room to run. I don’t have a a 80lb Black Lab under 2 years old that’s loves playing. I have Airbnb space and welcome pet guests along with the two legged variety. I have a pool for the swimmers and vinyl floors for cool resting spaces I’m retired from a career in accounting so dog care is the biggest part of my day. It give me flexibility to schedule meet and greets an can accommodate drop offs and pickups throughout the day and evenings I work hard keeping your pet safe. I separate dogs at their feeding times to avoid any territorial issues I allow the dogs as much outdoor time as possible I keep hard bones and ropes all around to keep them occupied. Most daycare dogs leave having spent a lot of energy and usually rest well when they get home I am fully retired so I’m home all day most days. If I go out to run errands I’m gone 1-2 hours. Should I be gone longer, I will check your practice that you use there. I’m outside a lot and will let your dog play as much as possible, I do have a covered patio with a tile floor so the can cool down and get water. I have a pool that I can block access when needed Pets sleep indoors and usually in my bedroom floor or my bed when there’s enough room. I allow them on my sofas and the sleep there as well. I feed them twice a day between 7-8am and 5-6pm and treats in between

Coco and Sallie were so happy to see Alyssa again. She came to our house twice a day for a Drop In visit while we were away for the day and she took great care of them. It is always great to get the videos and photos. Looking forward to using Alyssa again in the future. Sallie and Coco highly recommend her. Thank you again Alyssa!

“Chris did a great job checking in on my cats. Super reliable, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Even my more reserved cat felt comfortable around him, which says a lot. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, and I’d definitely trust him with them again.
Ashley was absolutely wonderful. I really appreciated her daily communication—it gave me peace of mind knowing they were happy, safe, and well cared for. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely great with dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
I knew Desiree was the right person when both my wife and I chose her while reviewing the Rover app at different times. She did not disappoint. It did our hearts so good to know that our Benny was in caring hands. Not only was she always on time, and stayed the entire time, she took time to play with him, take him on short and long walks, and sent us many pictures of Benny doing a variety of things. I would wholeheartedly recommend Desiree without a second thought. A+ 👏👏

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 7,294 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Greater Northdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Greater Northdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Greater Northdale. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
