About: I have rescued 2 senior dogs in the past and understand their unique needs. One of my senior dogs and others I have cared for struggled with anxiety and required a quiet calm environment. I do work full time but am able to work from home at times or can check in through the day and adjust my schedule as needed. If I was caring for your pet in your home I would strive to maintain the schedule and routines that is most familiar to them. If your pet is in my home, it is a quiet calm environment with a fenced in yard that allows freedom to run and explore. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for taking walks.
About: I’ve taken care of neighborhood dogs and cats since I was in middle school and I love interacting with and taking care of all types of animals! I’m currently in Graduate school for Physical Therapy and I can do any evenings, and then have more availability during the early afternoon/evening on Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays. Available all day on Saturday and Sundays! I will ensure the pet is on a leash or run while outdoors, unless stated otherwise. I can crate them as needed, and ensure whatever they need I provide!
About: Hello and thank you so much for your interest in my pet care services! I absolutely love animals, and have over 8 years of professional pet care experience, both in a Veterinary Hospital and doggy daycare, boarding and grooming facility, as well as working alongside a top rated team of professional dog walkers in Central MA. Working independently allows me to give your pets the extra love and attention they deserve, without the rush, and added treats! :) • I am both Pet First Aid and CPR trained and certified. • Ready to give some extra love to your furry friends? Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a meet and greet! • *Please allow me 24 hours to respond to your request, between the hours of 9am - 3pm, Monday - Thursday. I am currently available for morning, midday and evening drop-in/vacation care visits, or from 10am-3pm Tuesday-Thursday for dog walking/potty break & playtime visits! Do you live on a road unsafe for walking? Or do you wish your four footed friend could spend more time being a dog during the week? How about a trail walk in a local forest? Great for dogs sensitive to noise, who have extra energy, or who just love their time outdoors! Trail walks are an hourly rate and include pickup and drop off for your convenience. I hope to see you and your animal loved ones soon! After working in a pet boarding facility, I greatly appreciate getting to care for animals in their own home. It is much less stressful for the animals, and their pet parents. I have years of experience taking care of animals in an overnight boarding facility as well as in their own home through professional pet care services, and I value transparency, safety, trust and genuine care for all animals!
“Kayla was so great with our guy, sharing updates and being punctual with responses and visit times. She even adjusted her schedule to come back after our travel plans were disrupted! Can’t wait to have her stay with Louis again soon.”
About: I've spent more than 5 years as a licensed pet groomer, building strong relationships with dogs and their owners. I'm certified through the National Dog Groomers of America and skilled in full grooming, bathing, and nail care for all breeds. I take time to learn each dog's unique personality so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Happy to provide house-sitting with the added benefit of professional grooming experience. I know that pet care needs don’t always follow a schedule, which is why I offer flexible availability, including weekends and holidays. I’m happy to consider last-minute requests whenever my schedule and travel distance allow. My goal is to make finding reliable care for your pets as easy and stress-free as possible! N/A to my household. More focused on home ownerships rules and in case of emergency I would have instructions to contact the owners veterinary clinic and depending on the situation I am certificated in K9 CPR.
“Jenna was terrific with my two Golden Retriever dogs, taking them for walks, feeding them and playing with them. They seemed very sad to see her leave after two days. Will definitely reach out again when they need sitting.”
“Julie was great! She was easy to communicate with and understood the needs of our two very different dogs. It was clear that they were well cared for while we were away.”
“Dusti-Lee was great. She was very responsive and sent lots of updates on the pups. It was great knowing they were safe and taken care of. She left the house sparkling, which was an added surprise! Will definitely use again!”
“This was my first time leaving Bailey overnight in three years Stacy was wonderful. She kept me very much updated with photos and text. She was very understanding of Bailey's insecurity. I appreciate Stacy's patience and will definitely reach out again.”
“Bianca and Elizabeth went above and beyond for us during our vacation. Communication and professionalism is top tier and I would be happy to recommend their services to anyone looking for dog care. We were fortunate to have them in house with our special crew (3 dogs is not easy!). Each of our dogs has their own special needs including an elderly dog with required special attention and medication, a jealous alpha female, and a a very needy middle “child”. The dogs were relaxed and happy the entire time, as if we never left. The dogs were treated with the same care and attention as always, if not more, and that is priceless in itself. Bianca not only took care of our dogs, but had great care in our home. Leaving it immaculate upon our arrival. In the past we have come home from a trip and it’s very apparent we have 3 dogs, but this time everything was clean and smelled fresh. It was an added bonus. I sincerely look forward to using Bianca and Elizabeth in the future.”
About: I'm the go to girl for washing up our puppers, and even climbing in the tub just to set them at ease. I go the extra mile to make sure animals are comfortable and happy. I currently have all the freedom to play with your pup, walk them, and care for their needs. So please fill my calendar with puppy play dates! I would like to fully understand the routine the client has for their pet prior to make sure it does not get disrupted and allows the pup to stay at ease.
“Olivia was wonderful. We were very nervous and hesitant to leave our animals after an emergency happened when we left our animals with our previous sitter. She was very receptive of our concerns and was reassuring. She was always readily available for contact and questions while we were gone. She even went out of her way to help with a large delivery sent to our house. Olivia was clean and tidy. We can’t wait to have her help us with our dog and cat again.”

Nicole is an amazing caregiver. Our pets were so well taken care of during our time away with plenty of updates and pictures to reassure us of their wellness. I would recommend Nicole without any hesitation. I would even go so far as scheduling my next vacation around Nicole’s availability to watch our pets. She is such a great person!
Nicole took such great care of our two pups in our home ! She is truly an animal lover, was super responsive and professional and sent lots of updates and videos throughout the week. It was so great to know our dogs (and our home!) were in such great hands while we were on vacation. We would highly recommend Nicole!
Bianca was wonderful! She took great care Penny and went above and beyond to make sure the house was clean and well taken care of while we were away. She was super helpful and accommodating when our flight home was rescheduled. I highly recommend her and will definitely have her watch Penny in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Northbridge is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $107 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,026 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Northbridge. 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 Northbridge 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 Northbridge 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 Northbridge 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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
