“Jaimie was great with our dog (50 lb lab mix)! Jaimie made time to meet us beforehand to get acquainted with our dog and sent updates and pictures while we were away. Would highly recommend, thanks Jaimie!”
About: Animal care is a big part of my life — I have four pets including a pit-bull, two lab mixes and a cat of my own, plus a year of experience walking and house sitting dogs and cats through my partner's pet care business. I treat every pet like my own, and your animal's safety and comfort always come first. I have just recently left my full time teaching job, so I can now give my full time, attention and effort into your furry family I care for pets by sticking to their normal routine — feeding, water, and exercise on schedule. Since I don't watch dogs at my own home, visits happen at the client's house, whether that's a drop-in, walk, or house sitting. I do a quick safety check, send photo updates, and leave things just as I found them.
“Nora is great! She came by to meet Mac ahead of booking and we could tell she had a really kind energy. We felt comfortable leaving him in her care while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated and even drew us a wonderful picture of him.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life and I am a huge animal person. I've taken care of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I love getting to know new pets and their unique personalities! I work during the evenings from 2:45-11pm so I have time during the mornings and afternoons. My days off are Friday and Saturday so I have more availability then. I can walk your dog, play fetch, take them to the dog park or anything your dog loves to do. I take my dogs walking or hiking on a daily basis, and they love to swim.
“Haleigh is amazing! She was so great with our 2 pups. They absolutely love her! In addition to taking care of our dogs, she took excellent care of our home while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Haleigh again!”
“Anna was great with meeting cashew and asked great questions. She took very care of our pup and our home. I would definitely recommend and hope to have Anna watch our doggo again in the future.”
“Dusti-Lee was all round amazing!!!💖 She definitely has a special way with animals and Jewel took to her immediately during the meet and greet!🥰 So I could already tell that she was going to be an ideal sitter. Dusti-Lee was not only warm and loving with Jewel (which is really needed to gain Jewel’s trust), she was proficient at following our complex instructions closely! Not only was she so very responsive when I had to reach out at short notice because our sitter canceled on us with no warning, but she was wonderfully communicative throughout the stay!! I’ve no doubt Jewel loved Dusti-Lee, and we’d use her again.💞 (Also, we were so grateful that the house seemed even cleaner than we’d left it! Thank you, Dusti-Lee!💗)”
“Marie is an outstanding and caring pet sitter, very responsive and attentive, spends quality time with your pet while providing updates and pictures for your peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will be using her services in the future for sure!”
“Lila is the best! She is communicative, responsible, accommodating, and an all around great person! My dogs seemed well taken care of and loved, and I felt safe and could enjoy my family vacation! I will absolutely be booking her in the future for any dog needs! Can’t recommend enough!”
About: My names Mike and. I’ve been a dog walker/pet sitter, dog trainer, daycare worker and pet bather. I have experience in all aspects of pets and situations in which I would be responsible to interact with them. If you’re looking for an experienced and educated animal handler, I would be happy to care for your pet. Why me ? To me any pet in my care is automatically family. I will go to endless amounts to make sure they’re well pampered and cared for like my own. I will always have time for furry friends. I love animals and the companionship they bring to a humans life. Your pet will be treated like family !! Having prior experience caring for animals I would apply all my knowledge and skills into your pet making sure they get the proper love and care they deserve. Feeding, water, walking, play time. Anything you and your pets need I will make sure to go above and beyond !!
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and I’ve cared for many small dogs with different personalities and routines. I specialize in small dogs, generally 25 lbs and under, and provide patient, attentive, and loving care in a comfortable home environment. I understand that some dogs settle in right away, while others need a little extra time and reassurance. Puppies are welcome too! Since they need extra attention and supervision, I generally accept puppies when I don’t have other boarding dogs, so they can receive plenty of one-on-one care. My goal is simple: a happy, comfortable dog and a worry-free owner. I currently have an open schedule, allowing me plenty of time to care for and play with your furry family member. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention and love they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment where they feel secure and loved. I follow any special instructions, maintain a consistent routine, and ensure plenty of supervision, playtime, and care. With patience and attention to detail, I create a stress-free experience so both pets and owners can feel at ease.
“Erinn is the best! We have two senior dogs, one with special needs after having IVDD surgery, and when we came back from our little trip they were happy as ever. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly good with the pups. I’ve never seen them so at ease with a stranger. We’ll be booking her again soon!”
“We love Kayla! She was so wonderful with our two pups and cat. Checked in, sent pics and had a blast with them when she stayed at our house. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be rebooking.”
About: I started caring for my families pets when I was 6 years old. My neighbors were dog grooming from home, with the occasional cat grooming, so I got to get to know a lot of different things about individual breeds. My husband Evan knows how to train dogs and cats to do just about anything. He is also fluent in asl, a musician, and an artist. I love to give pets my full attention and care because it is relaxing to me. I know a lot of veterinarian technicians as well from my time in trade school. I live near Green Hill Park which is a great place to go for a stroll when the weather is nice. I know what pets are asking for and what to do if anything comes up so if you need special care for your pet they will be safe with me. I am currently available weekends and week nights. If my schedules changes I will update my profile with time off in advanced so that there are no miscommunications or cancellations. I can spend time with your pet playing in the yard or home. I walk pets as frequently as their schedule requires. Every pet has unique care needs. I love to care for pets and give them my full attention. Younger pets are full of energy and love to play so I do my best to get all their energy out so they sleep well and stay healthy. I am able to give pets medication or put them in diapers if required by the owner.
About: Hi! I’m Becky and I’m Mom to Bernard, a sweet and loving 3 year old golden retriever, Bubbles (9 year old cat) and Luna (8 year old cat). I grew up with both cats and dogs, and have been a pet sitter off and on since I was in middle school! I love caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities and have week night and weekend availability to provide care for your furry friend! I do offer boarding in my home for weekends where your pup would hangout with Bernard, myself, and sometimes my pet loving husband! My cats keep to themselves (they have their own room where their litter box and food are dog proofed) :) I’m a full time teacher but I’m free most weekdays after 4:00 and most weekends! During summer, holidays, and breaks I have more flexibility :) I can come to your home or your dog can stay with me :) I do have a large crate that my dog doesn’t use anymore if needed. I have a large yard (not fenced in but have multiple dog runs set up) I’d play with your pup, try to reinforce training skills, give lots of love, and make sure they are happy and thriving!

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
