“We were extremely pleased with the diligent care Monica provided for our 4-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd. She did an excellent job not only watching Jaco, but also taking great care of our home while we were away. It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. We would absolutely use Monica again and highly recommend her to others.”
“We were so thankful to find Michelle on Rover. She was courteous, warm and professional in her communications and gave us a lot of ease about leaving our pup and our home in her care. She was great about giving updates and sending photos while we were away. We returned to a well-kept home and a happy pup! We highly recommend Michelle!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have ample space in my home to care and love your pet. As a dog owner myself, I have the necessary skills to care for your dog and give them the exercise and mental stimulation they need daily. My husband and I also foster dogs so we am very capable to handle new dogs in our home. He also works from home so your dog will always have someone around to care for them. I’d love to meet and have fun with your pet! I am currently working full-time but have ample time to play with your babies. I have no children except for my dog, so your pet will get a lot of attention. I am available for boarding anytime and walks or playtime after 3 pm. I have a fully fenced yard to keep your pups safe. And inside, i have plenty of room to play and I have crating options if needed or wanted.
“Samantha was great! We will definitely have her back. She cared so much for our doggie, sent regular updates, and asked important questions. She took care of our home as well by watering my flowers and keeping it spotless for when we returned. She was very accommodating when we had a family emergency and cancelled one of the pets that she was supposed to watch. I was overall very impressed!”
About: Have administered specialized medicine to senior animals for ongoing diseases such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Was very diligent nursing my senior kitty before he passed. I work and go to school so my schedule varies but I always have some nights and mornings free each week that I would love to use on animals. Constant Care policy: if you are needing constant care that would require me to not leave for more than 4 hours, please book atleast 2 weeks ahead of whatever dates you need so I can accommodate that. I would also need to adjust my rate to reflect the lost income. I understand and respect animals boundaries and try my best not to encroach them. I've also mastered the "foot as barrier" approach when opening doors.
About: I have one dog and one cat that tend to stay upstairs. I absolutely love animals, So I hope to have my own little hobby farm one day. If your pet is in my home, please know they’ll always feel loved, safe and most likely tired out from all out walks. I believe humans and animals benefit from exercise which helps with behavior, same for humans. So bring your pup to me, and they’ll be tired for you:) Also, I have a special place in my heart for special-needs animals that need a little extra love and patience. I have been doing dog-watching for the past four years, in addition to working part-time for 10 years. I work at a school right down the road, which is perfect for dog watching. I leave at 7am, and I’m back by 11am each day. I do boarding, play dates, pickups, drop-ins, and trips to the dog park. I have a fenced-in yard, so your dog may play, run, or simply get some fresh air. I spend my time walking dogs, feeding them, playing, cuddling, kisses, relaxing on the porch and constantly opening and closing the door so they can go outside. Ha! It’s my life, and I truly love it.

“Joshua was 100% exceptional from the 1st communication to the end of his stay with our German Shepherd, Kai. He came over twice before the stay to get acquainted with Kai, the house, the neighborhood etc. He communicated daily with pictures of Kai and letting us know how she was, that she was eating and exercising. He stayed in our home from Friday-Sunday. All was clean and in order when we arrived home. We highly recommend him!”
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.
About: I love animals and have always had them. My friends reach out to me for pet sitting because they know I will take the best care of their fur babies! I have a teacup Yorkie and a cat so if you have a friendly pet, they are welcome to stay by me, but I am also retired so can stay by you if that's more convenient. I am very flexible! I am retired so have all day & evening to spend with your fur babies. I love to walk so would be sure to take your fur babies outside for fresh air any time of the year. I live in a safe area and have beautiful paths for dog walking any time of day. If your pet likes car rides, I love the beach & the water so could have lots of fun taking them wherever they like to go!
“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: My husband and I are workampers! That means we move every season to a new campground and work there. This time, we are at Jellystone Caledonia!! We love to have the presence of animals, since it gets boring living in a campground without an animal to walk. There is a great dog park here with great socialization opportunities (for us and the dogs 😆😆)!! I would love an opportunity to pet sit any type of fur babies, I grew up with cats and dogs my whole life!!! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!! Pet care fits seamlessly into our routine. My husband and I travel full time, which gives us a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability. We both enjoy meeting new people and animals along the way, and our lifestyle allows us to be present, attentive, and adaptable. Caring for pets fits easily into our daily life and is something we LOVE. I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure feeding schedules, walks, litter care, playtime, and medications (if needed) are handled consistently and with attention to detail. I respect the home and keep everything clean and orderly while you’re away.
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!
“Stepen and Amelie took great care of our 1 year old dog and our home. They took our dog on multiple walks, played with him and made sure he was comfortable. They were great about keeping us up to date with pictures, videos and messages about how our dog was doing. We came home to a detailed list of what our dog did each day, how much he ate, when he used the bathroom and when he slept. We were very impressed and would recommend Stephen and Amelie.”
“Nicole is awesome. She sent us pictures and kept us posted on how our pups were doing. She is definitely getting a call back from us for future pup services. Highly recommended sitter 🤩”
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.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
<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!
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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 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.
