“Such great care! Ky was so friendly and kind to my pups. She kept them company, made sure they had lots of love and treats, and communicated frequently on their status. I would absolutely book her again.”
“Nico is friendly, knowledgeable and responsible. She took great care of our dogs including a senior who needed medications and some extra TLC. She’ll be our first choice for dog sitting in the future.”
“Rebeca went above and beyond! She understood I was traveling abroad and had no way to reach anyone. She went out of her way to make sure that my parents did indeed show up to watch my dog for the weekend. She even chatted with them for a while! Needless to say they were very impressed as I was I! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much for everything!”

About: Hi, I’m Stella! A reliable, active, and genuinely attentive pet sitter who wants your dog or cat to feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I’m the type of person who will happily spend extra time playing, going on a walk, giving belly rubs, or just hanging out with your pet if that’s what they need. I know every animal has their own personality and routine, so I’m big on following their normal schedule rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m especially comfortable with active dogs who enjoy getting outside, but I’m equally happy spending a quiet afternoon with a cat who would rather observe everything from the couch. I’ll keep you updated with photos and little check-ins so you know your pet is doing well while you’re gone. My goal is simple: you get to enjoy your time away without worrying about your pet, and they get to have a fun, comfortable time too. If your pet is looking for someone dependable, attentive, and actually excited to spend time with them, I’d love to meet them! 🐾 I am self employed with my own personal training business, so I have a relatively flexible schedule! I am able to pop in every few hours if needed, and am more than happy to get some walks in for both your dog and myself. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment where they can feel right at home. I keep routines consistent—mealtimes, walks, play—and give lots of love and attention. I closely monitor their behavior and health. You’ll also get regular photo and video updates, so you always know they’re safe and happy. Lastly, I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations.

“She was very responsive and caring for our cats. She sent pictures and the cats seemed to like her. We also had a situation happen and she acted appropriately and professionally. Thanks Paige!”
“I highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter! From the very beginning, she was incredibly organized, asked great questions, and scheduled a meet and greet to make sure she was prepared to care for my elderly cat. She showed up on time, had great energy with him, and made me feel comfortable knowing my fur baby was in good hands. My cat is 18 years old and needs daily medication, she also worked with his picky appetite! Amanda was also very flexible when unexpected maintenance came up at my house, and she communicated consistently throughout the entire experience. I especially appreciated all the photos and updates she sent, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Amanda went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. If you’re looking for someone dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring, Amanda is the person to book! 🐱❤️”
About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.
“Diamond is great! She came and was on time. I needed her from 1 to 5 on a Saturday. She sends me pictures of the dogs. She is super responsive and responsible. She needed to let them out and feed them. She plays with them and they seem to respond well to her. I will ask for Diamond again!”
About: My fiance and I have dog sat for years together dealing with special needs situations any medication walks or clean up due to medical illness necessary. I am now branching on my own to sit solo and help anyone I can! Im currently looking for work so im available when and wherever necessary. Im easy to communicate with and Im Great with last minute scheduling changes I have my own Great Dane mix Gigi who’s the world to me, I take care of her food, medicine, and walks daily. I love her like my own child and I look to provide the same care, loving home environment, and safe space for any pup because that’s what would worry me most if I booked with someone😊
“Madelyn was great when she watched our dog Cooper when we were on our week long road trip. She was very communicative and we could tell she took great care of Cooper. We definitely will book her again.”
About: I’m very attentive to routines, instructions, and little details — whether that’s feeding schedules, medication timing, favorite walking routes, or specific behavior cues. I take time to learn each pet’s personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m especially good with: • Puppies — I’m patient, consistent, and happy to reinforce basic training like potty routines, crate training, leash manners, and positive behavior. • Senior pets — I’m calm, gentle, and very observant. I’m comfortable giving medications, watching for changes in behavior or appetite, and making sure older pets move and rest safely. • Anxious or shy pets — I move at their pace and focus on building trust so they feel secure. I also prioritize communication and reliability — I send regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know how your pet is doing, and you can trust that your home and your pet are being cared for responsibly. Above all, I bring patience, consistency, and genuine care — so you can travel or work knowing your pet is not just being watched, but truly looked after. I work from home, so I enjoy morning, afternoon, and night walks. I have 2 daughters ages 14 and 5. They both love and adore animals. I care for pets in my home by keeping things calm, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow feeding and potty schedules, give dogs regular walks and playtime, and make sure cats have fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. I keep my home pet-safe and cozy, give each pet plenty of attention, and always watch for any changes in behavior or appetite. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing!
“Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!”
“Travis took incredible care of our two dogs and handled a genuinely chaotic situation with so much calm and flexibility. The night before we left, our AC failed during a heat wave. While we were stuck across the country juggling an HVAC company and a landlord who wasn’t prioritizing the issue at all, Travis kept the dogs safe, comfortable, and monitored. He checked in regularly so we knew how they were doing, and he adjusted his schedule so repairs could be made. His support made a huge difference for our peace of mind during a very stressful situation for us and I’m sure him. One of our dogs is anxious, skittish, and extremely high‑energy, and Travis did an amazing job letting her warm up at her own pace while still getting her out for consistent walks. Both dogs were well cared for the entire stay. We’re so grateful for how he handled everything and will absolutely book with him Again. Thank you Travis!”
“Wow! What can I say? Margaret exceeded every expectation I had for Uecker’s care today! As a new puppy mom who’s only had him for three weeks, leaving him with someone for the first time was a little nerve-wracking. But Margaret made me feel completely at ease. She didn’t just watch him—she played with him, loved on him, reinforced the commands we’ve been working on, and treated him like he was her own. The best part? Walking through the door and finding Uecker snuggled up right next to her. My heart absolutely melted. It was obvious he felt safe, loved, and completely comfortable. I truly couldn’t be happier with the care Margaret provided. Book her before I do, because with my busy schedule, I’ll definitely be calling her again! Thank you so much, Margaret. Uecker already adores you, and so do I!”
“Jahaira is the most wonderful, caring pet sitter. She is professional and from the very first meeting, she gave us a sense of ease. We knew she was going to care for our pups with love. Which she did. Our pups look forward to seeing her. Her follow up and photos were awesome! 5 stars and beyond pet sitter. We will be rebooking with Jahaira ALWAYS.”
“Sara and Ethan were excellent dog sitters! They watched three dogs at my house and were great about getting them out on regular walks, giving lots of attention and pets, and sending regular updates and communication. My dogs loved having them and I loved that they had a hybrid/remote work schedule that allowed them to be close to the dogs throughout the day! Ethan and Sara are a great team!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Bay
Cat is fantastic - she has now stayed overnight with my dog for two long weekends. She genuinely loves dogs - sent me pictures of my dog doing the same cute things I take pictures of, and enjoyed getting to know his quirks. She is very detail oriented - one of the weekends my dog was getting a number of medications and she sent me messages confirming the administration and dosage each time. She also took good care of the house and tried to leave no trace - no big cleaning or reset required when I got home. Highly recommend!
Andrea was absolutely incredible! She stayed at my house with my dog, Leo, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning she was communicative, reliable, and so easy to work with. I got regular updates and photos, and Leo looked completely happy and spoiled the entire time. It’s such a rare comfort to leave your home and your dog in someone’s hands and feel zero stress — but that’s exactly what Andrea provides. She treated my house with respect, left everything spotless, and took care of Leo like he was her own. I came home to a happy dog, a tidy home, and total peace of mind. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, truly exceptional, and also just a cool girl, Andrea is the one!

The average cost of House Sitting in North Bay is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $63 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.

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 North Bay 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 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!
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!
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 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Bay. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
