About: I have been helping care for pets since I was a young child. I grew up with pets and pet responsibilities. The love that I have for my pets crosses over to the love that I will bring for your pet. Pet sitting is currently my primary focus. This allows me to have greater flexibility in my schedule and more time to take care of your pets. Great care and concern for your pet is emphasized as well as open communication with you while your pet is in my care. Your concerns are my concerns when it comes to the safety and care of your pets.
About: Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m a dedicated animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats for family members, friends, and neighbors. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I work during the day, typically for about eight hours, but outside of work I am available to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration (if needed), and lots of affection. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, belly rubs, play sessions, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved pet, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their owners peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work during the day, typically from about 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but outside of those hours I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Before and after work, I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication administration if needed, and lots of love and attention. On weekends and days off, I have even more flexibility to spend quality time with your pets and ensure they stay happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also more than happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail or packages, and keeping an eye on your home so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care instructions so they can feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide attentive supervision, plenty of affection, regular exercise, and consistent care. I understand how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of love.
“Allison was truly a blessing and if I ever need this service again, I will absolutely contact her! This was my first time ever leaving for multiple days and our planned sitter (a friend of ours) fell through shortly before our trip. Allison gave us the peace of mind that our dog's would be taken care of. She stayed with them for more time than I had even dared hope for and sent us regular updates. She was transparent, responsible, respectful and kind. Upon our return it was obvious that our dogs missed us but it was also obvious that they had been well cared for and treated with nothing but love and kindness. I can't possibly be even more thankful than I am.”
“We had a wonderful first experience with Melanie as our dog sitter. Our plans changed a few times, and she was extremely patient, flexible, and responsive throughout the process. She arrived right on time, stayed later than originally planned, and took excellent care of our dog. Melanie sent us pictures and regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind. She was pleasant, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend her and look forward to using her again!”
“Erin was beyond amazing with Charlie. It was the first vacation we took where we came home and he wasn’t stressed out from missing us. The house was even cleaner than when we left it and Erin even left Charlie a cute toy and his favorite treats. We will definitely be booking her in the future. Thanks Erin!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have grown up around both dogs and cats. Whether it is keeping up with an energetic dog, taking them on a walk, or taking care of an attentive cat, I am passionate about making them happy. I have always been a go-to when it comes to friends going on vacation. There hasn’t been a time in my life where I wasn’t around a pet! As a student, I am currently on summer break, so I am available on a daily basis. I am available all day or night for care, walks, and check-ins. To ensure the best possible care for your pet I will familiarize myself with the home environment. I can utilize toys or tools you may have for your pet, or can even bring some of my own if need be! Able to walk around in neighborhoods or play in yards.
“We love Juliet! She was respectful of our home, paid attention to instructions, she clearly loves our dog(s) and was communicative. We felt very comfortable with her and we are so grateful to have found her!”
“From the very first meet‑and‑greet, I knew Carina was the perfect match for my boy, Sheppy. She connected with him instantly, and the peace of mind I felt from that moment only grew throughout my trip abroad. Carina went above and beyond while staying in my home and caring for Sheppy. She checked in regularly, shared the sweetest photos, and kept me updated in a way that made me feel completely at ease. It was clear she treated him with the same love, patience, and attention she would give her own dog. Carina is responsible, thoughtful, and genuinely gifted with animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful for the care she gave my boy. I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family member. I will be booking her again even without travel plans just to keep Sheppy and his new BFF Carina connected.”
“Brittany is amazing. I can’t say enough great things! She responded promptly to the request to take care of my pups and was accommodating in setting up a meet and greet. She is extremely reliable, communicative and compassionate. When I returned home, the dogs were happy and everything was spotless and in order. I would highly recommend Brittany for anyone looking for peace and exceptional care!”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Trie provided for our 13-year-old Maltipoo. He has a tough time with separation anxiety and often struggles with eating when we're away, but Trie was absolutely incredible with him. She stayed by his side, took him on several walks a day, and knew exactly how to encourage him to eat. Trie sent us frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. For the first time, we were able to truly relax on vacation knowing our fur baby was in such loving hands. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, kind, and attentive — exactly the kind of person you’d hope to find to care for your pet. We’ll definitely be booking with her again for any future travel!”
“Andrea was wonderful and took a great care of our two pups. She kept me updated every day on what they did along with photos. She also came twice before staying at our place so our pups could familiarize themselves with her which I very much appreciated. We will definitely hire her again in future!”
About: I have two Australian Shepherds at home that I miss while being away at college, so I love any chance to spend time with dogs. I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for them, including walks, feeding, and daily attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m a college student with a busy schedule, but I make time for pet care and am available on weekends and select weekdays. I also work part-time, but I’m reliable with scheduling and communication. I’ll have increased availability over the summer and can be more flexible then. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your dog feels safe and well cared for. I’m attentive, reliable, and happy to send updates while you’re away.
“This was the first time we trusted someone to house sit our two dogs, and Sasha made the experience stress free! She took good care of both of our dogs, and we appreciated her willingness to stay with them 24/7 (as our puppy still struggles to be home alone). We appreciated the picture updates, and our dogs were all smiles in the pictures and when we returned home. She was very respectful of our house and left everything in the same/better condition as we left it. We would definitely recommend and hire Sasha again.”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful! I have a senior dog and a quirky dog and she took care of them exactly how they needed! I was able to enjoy myself knowing they were in great hands. It was like having a trusted family member watching them.”
“Indigo was able to sit on short notice when another sitter left a weeks long stay early. They were prompt and communicative and helped me in a touch situation. I had peace of mind knowing that my pets were well cared for.”
“As someone dog sits myself, I am very particular about who we trust to watch our pups. This is our second time having Kaitlyn sit for the girls and we feel so, so grateful to have found her. She is very trustworthy, responsible, and caring. I know they are in the best hands with Kaitlyn and the girls are already looking forward to seeing her again in June!”
“Jennifer was great - she came to our home for 3 nights that we were going to be out of town to take care of our 10 lb. chihuahua mix. The house was left spotless and our dog seemed like she had a really great time while we were away (which isn't always the case). We'll definitely be booking again for our in-home pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve had 2 dogs throughout my life. I loved walking my dogs and playing with them while they were young. When they were senior dogs I became more patient and adjusted to their needs. I’m currently working flexible hours and days of the week. I have my own transportation and if needed I can transport your pets to groomers or vets. I will make sure to keep your pet hydrated and fed on their schedule. I enjoy taking walks and getting your pets out there for exercise. I understand each animal is different and will learn how to keep them comfortable while in their presence. I enjoy playing with cats and dogs until they are spent!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Salem
Alena was such a great cat sitter for our two fur babies. Our kitties, Kona and Jazzy, warmed up to her quickly, even our stranger danger kitty (who usually takes days). The daily photos and occasional videos were wonderful, and it was so great to know someone was here with them. Easily a 10/10 stars!
Ashley was absolutely great with our boys! We were in a pinch with last minute travel and no one available to watch them- she came right over to get acquainted and they hit it off. She kept me updated with texts and photos the entire stay which really gave me peace of mind. Can’t wait to use her services again!
Melissa was absolutely fantastic with our girls. We have one very anxious dog who Melissa completely won over and made our time away so much better for her, and us. Melissa took exceptional care of our babies and made sure to send us lots of updates, pictures, and videos. Beyond pet care, Melissa took wonderful care of our home. She is a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her services enough.

FAQs for House Sitting - North Salem
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Salem on Rover is $47.33 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,109 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Salem. 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 Salem 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 Salem 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 Salem 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 with handling special pet needs in North Salem. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
