“Alyssa did a great job making my rescue pup with separation anxiety comfortable. Within a few minutes, she had her taking treats and rolling over for belly scratches.”
“Hayley is great! She's a great communicator and sends lots of pictures. We came home to a very clean house and a happy dog. This is the second time she's helped us and we will happily use her again!”
“Taylen did a phenomenal job! Not only was she punctual for our meet up, but she was also very personable and it was clear that she cares about animals. We have a very elderly dog that requires a lot of extra support but Taylen was willing to help with all that was needed to care for our sweet girl in our absence. We received updates throughout our trip and knew she was in good care - we’d definitely book with Taylen again!”
About: I am a single mom, who enjoys animals just about as much as I love children. My son loves taking dogs for walks and helping me care for them. It teaches him about responsibility, integrity, and so much more.. Plus we get to play with many different animals and who doesn't love that! I enjoy all breeds of dog whether they are large or small as long as they're friendly with children. I am very professional, and respectful of people, their homes and their pets and have never gotten a bad review from any customer that I've ever had. I always go the extra mile to make the customer and the pet feel as comfortable as possible because it's hard to leave a pet, and also hard for a pet when the owner leaves.
“Cari is great with my boyz - they settled in easily with her and she gave really nice updates while we were away. Very mature, responsive and responsible- the kind of person you want watching your fur- babies🥰”
About: I love animals! I have 3 of my own! I work from home and I can stop by play with your animals and let them out to go potty! I love cats, dogs, and lizards. I can house sit for a few hours but I am unable to provide overnight care due to having my own animals. I can however recommend someone else who has overnight care experience who watched my animals just ask! I work from home so I am able to take my computer with me wherever I go as long as there is internet! Only able to stay for a few hours 2-4 hours for a check in During summer months walks will be under 30minutes and rate of $25 due to buyness of season and it being too hot, i will not walk your dog in hot weather for more than 15minutes and if its 90degrees and will be adjusted for times of morning hours to later in evening due to weather- I can take pictures, I let my dogs sleep on my furniture they have beds of their own, I feed my dogs twice a day.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from smaller breeds like dachshunds to larger dogs like Labs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve also dog-sat for family members and a family friend, caring for their dogs while they were away. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, care, playtime, and affection. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own! I work full-time during the day, so I’m primarily available for pet care during evenings, weekends, and select holidays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’m also happy to accommodate drop-ins and walks when my schedule allows! I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable and follow their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other care your pet needs. I’m respectful of your home and will make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure before leaving. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for!
“Julie was awesome!! She took care of my two dogs and two cats. One of my dogs is a huge Great Pyrenees Pit Bull Mix that she figured out how to charm. She was very caring, and honestly visited more often and did way more than I was asking (or expected). She is my Go To if/when I need care for my critters!!!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since the day I was born. I grew up with them in my own home, helped take care of them at my best friend's house over the years (3 dogs and 3 cats!), and as I got older, worked at an animal shelter, volunteered as a foster mom, and dog-sat for lots of friends and acquaintances. Throughout all this, I've worked on basic training skills as well as given medications like antibiotics, dewormers, ear washes, etc. I am currently on my 20th foster dog, and have loved every one of them! (And yes, I did foster-fail on one…) I do seasonal work most of the year with a very flexible schedule, so I have lots of availability for walks, drop-ins, and sits! I love pet sitting in the client's home, so that the pets can be in the environment they're most comfortable in. I do my very best to follow all the client's normal routines, give their fur babies lots of love and attention, and respect their home as if it were my own.
“Kaiden was amazing!! He sent so many pictures and updates even though we were only gone for a day. We came home to three very happy and very healthy pups. Will definitely look to book Kaiden again in the future!!”
“Brooke was an exceptional dog sitter. We have a giant 2 year old, attention seeking puppy, and Brooke went above and beyond to care for him. She not only took amazing care of our puppy, but she also left our house neat and tidy. She arrived on time and was very thorough with all of the details. We will definitely ask Brooke back to our home to care for our boy.”
About: I have five years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals for friends, family, and neighbors. I also grew up around animals, so pet care has always been a natural part of my life. I love making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits easily into my day because I’m home and available throughout the day. I enjoy giving pets the time, attention, and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. I make pets feel safe and loved by following their routine, giving them playtime, attention, and keeping their space clean. Whether in my home or theirs, I make sure they’re happy and comfortable.
“Julia was a great fit for our dog! She was very flexible when our plans changed several times. Buddy loved her attentive, loving care while she spent the week with him at our home! We are excited to have found a great dog sitter to stay with him while we are away!”
“Ashlie was incredible with our dogs. She was very communicative and sent us lots of photos daily! The dogs were happy and well cared for. Our home was also clean and left in good shape. I definitely recommend her and her pup, Merlin! Merlin got along well with our dogs and was a perfect house guest. I will be contacting Ashlie again in the future!”

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 Branch 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 Branch 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 Branch 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 Branch. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
