“Erica was amazing to work with! Extremely flexible, sent me tons of pictures while I was gone, I’m very close to my dog and haven’t left him with anyone before. Erica made me feel more than comfortable, took care of my home but most importantly loved and took more than great care of my boy! Thank you again Erica!!”
“Lauren is the best! She so obviously loves dogs and we were delighted to have her housesit with our 3. She even got the grumpy one to cuddle with her a bit! That says a lot because he is very selective. No issues at all and so nice to know we can rely on her when we need our 3 guys to be coddled when we’re out of town!”
“Kimmie was so professional and reliable, house and pet sitting. She took great care to follow my dog’s special feeding needs. She sent regular updates and pictures, so I was confident my fur baby and home were well taken care of!”
“Emmalee did a fantastic job taking care of my senior dog for 12 days while I was out of the country. I received updates often and was so great to see my dog while traveling. Emmalee cared for my dog and house like it was her’s and I will book with Emmalee again when the need arises.”
“Vanessa took great care of our fur babies. She kept in contact with us and updated with daily pictures. She was also very responsive to the questions we had. Will definitely try to book with her again.”
“Nelson did a great job watching our four animals. Communication was clear, everything was handled responsibly, and we came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. Would absolutely book again.”
“Ana was AMAZING!! So quick to respond and was amazing with our dogs! Being flexible with our fussy babies. Can’t wait to reach out to her next time we need someone to watch our dogs.”
“Megan is amazing! She went above and beyond while watching our 2 dogs! Our dogs (and us) have some anxiety when we leave for a trip but knowing they were in such great hands is a huge weight off our shoulders! She will send updates and pictures so you never have to worry how they're doing! She even got our dogs treats which is soo sweet! We will definitely be booking with Megan when we go on another trip!”
“Melissa was great! We have a timid but loving dog and he warmed up to her right away. Everything was just as we left it when we returned home and Melissa will be our first choice in the future!”
“Thank you, Brooke, for taking such great care of Archie! He’s full of energy and can be a handful, but you handled him with patience and care. I really appreciated the updates and felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Adam made it amazing! To have personal care and attention for my Dempsey boy was perfect and I know Dempsey loved it. Adam took great care of him and updated us daily with pictures so we felt calm and ease while we were away. I am pretty sure my apartment was cleaner when I got home than when I left :)!!! Thanks Adam!!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life having some sort of animals in my life. I have two dogs that live back in southwest Missouri with my parents. One is a chocolate lab who is a female, and her name is Coco. The other dog, which is a Weimer Reimer he is a male and his name is trooper. The only reason I didn’t bring these dogs with me is because they were very close with my parents and I didn’t want to tear them apart and mess their routine up. I currently work full-time, and I travel the state of North Dakota during the week but I am back on the weekends which I will be available all weekend long how do you care? Whether it’s at my home or the clients home if it is a fenced backyard, I will go out there and sit with him and watch the dogs as they do their business. But if there’s no fenced in yard, I will take them for a walk and make sure they are well taken care of.
About: I've had pets all my life and also foster/volunteer at a pet shelter. My biggest job was caring for a mama and her 9 puppies! I'm currently working part time as a nurse. I have 3 dogs of my own and currently have a foster dog whom keeps me running! I truly respect the owners guidelines in caring for there pet. I will give much love and attention in caring for all my pet friends.
“Callan was AMAZING she took such good care of my Babies all four of them She sent pics and videos daily She cuddled with them Played with them she took amazing care of my house i was so afraid to use someone i didn’t know with my furry kids but i would use Callan anytime 100% recommended as the best dog sitter i have ever used!!!!”
About: My family has grown up with dogs for as long as I can remember so let’s have always been a central part of my life. As a middle and high schooler, family friends would ask me to take care of their pets while they were out of town and I have missed being able to do that since coming to college so I want to start it back up with Rover! I’m currently finishing up my bachelors degree and am at the tail end of it so my days are fairly flexible and I can bring most of my work home to be able to take care of pets throughout the day! The pet is just like a person with needs and wants. Figuring out the timing and specific wants of each pet while maintaining order is my utmost priority. Also, giving the pet somewhere with someone to relax with is extremely important in helping the pet navigate a change in schedule.
About: I have been around animals my whole life and always enjoy caring for them! I have owned a puppy so I am skilled in puppy needs, and I am ready for any challenges I may be faced with! I have also stayed overnight caring for my families pets many times and I really enjoy it! I will be working part-time as a life guard in the summer, so I will definitely have plenty of time to care for your pets! The only other activity I have going on is bringing kids to gymnastics on mondays, wednesdays, and thursdays at 8:30 am, and then camping with my families some weekends! At my house I have a fenced in yard, while at other homes I am very attentive to detail and instructions when caring. I always keep a careful eye to make sure of pet safety.
“Brigit was so great for our high anxiety Doodle Duke! :-) She was calm and reassuring for him to get to know her and he relaxed and was able to play. This was such a relief for us while we were away! Thanks”

FAQs for House Sitting - North River
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North River on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 124 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North River. 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 River 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 River 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 River 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.
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.
