“I couldn’t recommend her enough! My cats and dog absolutely love her, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals and cares about them. She’s super responsible, trustworthy, and reliable, which makes it so easy to feel comfortable leaving your pets with her. She also loves staying active and is looking to walk more dogs, so if you’re looking for someone who will give your dog lots of attention and love, I definitely recommend Shayla! 🐾❤️”

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Growing up with two dogs of my own, I've always been surrounded by animals whether it's through family, friends, and dog sitting during the holidays. As an avid walker, I truly enjoy spending time outdoors, and I'm excited to share that passion with your pet. I take pride in being reliable, professional and always putting the safety and well-being of your dog as my top priority. If there's anyway I can assist with your pet's needs, I'd love the opportunity to help them stay happy and healthy! I work from home Monday through Friday, 9AM - 5PM, with a flexible schedule. I take short or extended breaks every 2-3 hours, giving me plenty of opportunities to step outside and care for your pet. I live in a two-bedroom, non-smoking apartment with no children, offering a quiet and safe environment for your pet. The apartment complex features a fenced-in dog park.
About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog her meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.
“Jessica was wonderful. She had an immediate rapport with my dog, and he felt comfortable going out with her right away. They went for a long walk and she was kind and patient with him. She also had the energy to deal with a playful and adventurous dog! I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have always been an avid animal lover, especially a dog lover, and I have always owned dogs. I started dogsitting after I graduated from college to make some money, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being able to provide a loving environment while you're away is very important for the animals, and I strive to be the best at it. My skills include dog sitting, walking, playing, and cuddling. I will also take great care of your home and treat it with respect. I also think it is important to keep the client informed of what is going on so I do like to check in. I have experience in both dogsitting and house sitting and this would let me showcase that. I currently own a Cat and turtle and feed them daily. I also clean the litter box every two days. I also help clean the turtle tank. I would follow the walking schedule for each dog and also adhere to the feeding guidelines. For a cat I would also follow the feeding guidelines and cleaning.
“Alyssa is a great communicator and took great photos of Jasper on his walk! Very accommodating and you can just tell she loves dog which made me feel so much more comfortable. Would highly recommend!”

About: I grew up in a home with a revolving door of dogs, cats, and even rodents! This instilled in me not only a love of animals but a love of making sure every pet I meet and care for lead healthy and happy lives. I have raised, sat, and boarded dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I also now work at a professional doggy daycare/hotel that is connected with a vet office so I am learning more every day! I work at an animal boarding facility so my hours are a bit different every day meaning there’s a nice variety of life for the animals I visit but I always ensure that I have enough quality time with each pet. I make sure to know the pets needs (medical, physical, emotional) and build routines and safety from there! For client homes I always make sure to leave the house (and pet!) as clean as possible, especially after any indoor playtime!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northfield
Absolutely Amazing! Shayla made the extra effort to come meet our girl ahead of time, which I found to be very thoughtful and helpful. My Summer absolutely loved her time with Shayla and I enjoyed seeing their adventures unfold through the pics Shayla shared. Attentive, Caring, and Responsible. Will definitely book with Shayla again.
Elizabeth has been absolutely wonderful walking Liquorice! She is extremely professional, punctual, and reliable, and took fantastic care of her every single day. Liquorice always looked forward to her visits, and having someone so trustworthy gave me complete peace of mind while away. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier pet care!
I was a little nervous using a dog walker for the first time, but she made the whole experience so easy. She was great with Summer, communicated really well, and sent me updates, which I really appreciated. It was nice knowing Summer was being taken care of. I’m definitely happy with the experience and would use her again!
Victoria is absolutely AMAZING! I feel so lucky to have found her. Gus is an older guy and means the absolute world to me, so I’m incredibly particular about who I trust with him. Victoria is kind, reliable, communicative, and so genuinely caring with him. I have complete peace of mind knowing Gus is in such wonderful hands. He absolutely adores her — and so do I! Could not recommend Victoria more highly! ❤️🐾
I am so grateful to Stefanie for taking care of my 6-month old puppy. Between walks, cuddles, playing in the grass, he received the best care. She also went above and beyond to keep an eye on my cat and make fast friends with her. Beautiful messages and photos kept my mind at ease, while giving a glimpse into how happy and content my kiddos are with her. I can't say enough good things about Stefanie -- I recommend her highly and am so glad we found her!
Josh is everything you want in a dog walker. He is 100% reliable and he communicates often and promptly. And of course he loves pets and he will make sure that your pet is extremely well cared for. If you have any special instructions Josh will adhere to them perfectly. So if you hire Josh you will know that your pet is in excellent hands and you can have total peace of mind.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Northfield. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Northfield after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.

- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
