“We cannot say enough about Belle and how amazing she was with our dog Lady! We took a week long trip and Belle made sure our dog was happy, safe and loved. She went above and beyond to make sure Lady was happy the entire time and never stressed. We received constant feedback with pictures and messages. This was our first time leaving our dog and thanks to Belle we were able to have a wonderful getaway with our family without any worries. She's a blessing and clearly has the background, skills, and personality to work with animals. We highly recommend her with any pet!!”
About: I've cared for family and friends dogs since I was a teenager, as well as our own dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs and other medical needs. I work part time and will spend my off time with your pup. I like to meet everyone before sitting so I can get to know their routines and make sure everyone is comfortable! I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.
“We had the pleasure of having April stay at our house for two nights to take care of our dogs, and she was fantastic! April was incredibly attentive and caring, making sure our furry friends were happy and well-exercised. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind. Our home was left spotless, and our dog seemed genuinely happy and well-cared for. We highly recommend April to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
About: Growing up I was in charge of walking, feeding and bathing my Grandmas two dogs since she was no longer able to due to old age. I only work 9-5 most weekends, weekdays I’m typically off and have a very free schedule! I graduated May 2026 with a Masters in Social Work and plan to build a career in social work! I love to play fetch or any games your animal maylike. I can give baths and/or clean up the yard. I can spend quality time with your animals, cuddle with them or turn on their favorite song or show.
“Angela watched both of my dogs while I was on vacation at my campsite on literally the weekend of July 4, 2022. She is a very kind and gentle soul. She has so much knowledge and compassion working with animals. She took care of my babies with so much love. She very responsible and goes extra! Very trustworthy and kind person. Honestly it was the first time I met her but her personality and compassion shows She on time and goes beyond. You won’t be disappointed and your pets will love her Highly recommend”
About: I don’t just watch pets, I care for them like they’re my own. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taught me how meaningful the bond between people and their pets can be, and it’s one of the reasons why I treat every animal with patience, affection, and individualized care. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a true passion for animals, you can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 **Completed online Pet CPR and First Aid certification I work full-time, but pet sitting fits well into my weekly schedule because I’m intentional about making time for it. I only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and reliability they deserve. Mornings, evenings and weekends are open as well as during lunch hours during the work week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of attention. I also treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates, pictures and videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I've cared for pets with a variety of personalities, from energetic and playful to shy or anxious, and I adapt my approach to each pet's individual needs.
“We are so happy we found Kendra. She has watched our 3 dogs, including one who needs some extra attention several times and has taken such great care of them. She sends lots of pictures and updates so you know they are ok. I would highly recommend her to any of our friends and family. Hopefully she will consider sitting for us again in the future.”
About: I am a reiki master. I love providing healing to animals. Hugs, belly rubs ,you name it!! I dont mind providing medicine also. I also prefer over communication. I can swing by on my lunch break for potty breaks. I also can coordinate walks. Weekend time frame I also dont mind dogs of smaller size over to stay at my house. I have a fenced in yard for my 2 dogs. Very clean environment. I have a 11 yr old Australian shepherd and a 6 yr oldhound that are friendly.
About: I’m semi-retired and love to fill my time with animals and other caregiving services. I often drop-in services and overnight care. I believe in great communication and making you feel comfortable when trusting your fur-babies to me I grew up caring for birds, dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs. I have a very flexible schedule and will work as best I can around your needs for animal care. I will work with you to make sure you’re happy with the time and attention your animal(s) will receive. Including pictures and updates I understand how hard it can be to let caregivers I to your home and will do everything possible to make sure you’re comfortable with me. And your animals get all the attention they deserve.
“Shelby was fantastic! This was mine and my husbands first experience using Rover and we were very impressed with how Shelby was attentive to our fur babies. She was great with providing updates as well as making sure that everything was well taken care of upon our return. We will be using her services again!”
“Haley took care of our dogs while we were on vacation. We were able to fully relax and enjoy our time because she went so above and beyond with our girls! They were spoiled and cared for at the highest degree. She is a wonderful resource and person that we trust completely. She will be our go to for everything. Can't recommend her enough!”
About: I am a devoted pet owner who has experience exercising, feeding and administering medications to my own animals as well as visiting animals. I believe it is important to take each animals individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. That is why my family and friends always ask me to take care of their furry friend. In addition, my fun and compassionate personality will ensure your animal and I are best friends. I work full-time from home, which allows me to easily adjust to your pet’s schedule. I’m also off on weekends, so I’m available to give them plenty of attention and care. I believe it’s important to learn your pet’s routine and keep their daily life as consistent as possible. Since I work from home, I’m able to adjust easily to your pet’s needs and schedule. I also have a large yard for them to enjoy, and my garage is fenced in so they can safely spend time outside even when I’m there. For added security, the main door area is enclosed to ensure no furry guest can slip out.
“Kelsey was a great dogsitter who went above and beyond for us. She stayed at the house for 3 overnights with our 2 old lady dogs while we went to my dad's memorial. Our old lady dogs are so old that the kennel would be too much for them. Kelsey deftly handled their separate feeding requirements and kept them on their potty schedule. She made fast friends with them and they were at ease with her. She was communicative with us about her schedule and even sent fun photo updates. We trusted her and really appreciated her being there. We feel like we lucked out with Kelsey and hope to hire her again! Thank you Kelsey, from Ruby, Daisy and all of us!”
“Kara did a great job taking care of Tiki😊. She asked questions when needed and sent updates and photos daily. This was my first experience with having someone petting for a week and I was able to relax without worry. I will definitely reach out again!”
About: I have owned dogs all my life, and turned to fostering and dogsitting after college for shorter commitments. I have fostered over 15 dogs, including seniors, puppies, 70+ lb reactive dogs, and those needing medications. I have also catsit for friends and neighbors and cared for fish the last three years. I work from home so I'm able to be attentive to your pets, and I like to take 15 minute breaks to walk a few times a day. I have a puppy-proofed mudroom where we will hang out, and I live across the street from a bike path where I love to walk with a regular leash or long line.
“Amanda pet sat our 1 year old Pomeranian for 2 nights. She was reliable, arrived on time for our meet & greet. She is sweet and friendly with our pup. She followed our instructions and we found our home neat like we left it. I would recommend her, she did a great job.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Ridge
Belle was an excellent dog sitter (and house sitter, for that matter!) The dogs were happy & well taken care of. We got regular updates & didn't have to worry once. Ahead of time, she asked all the important questions & took careful notes. She even graciously agreed to help with my daughter's reptiles & birds. We came home to happy dogs & a clean house!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 555 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Ridge. 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 North Ridge 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 Ridge 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 Ridge 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
