“Anne was amazing with my Labrador Retriever, Waffle. She went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of, providing excellent updates and photos for each of her visits. Really appreciate everything she did!”
“Elizabeth was great! She helped me out at the last minute which allowed me to be able to go out of town for a whole week, worry free. She was great with my dog, took excellent care of him. She is 100% trustworthy!”
“Amanda took amazing care of my cats! I really appreciated her thorough updates and multiple photos each day showing off my girlies as the superstars they are. I would love to work with Amanda again and can’t thank her enough for going above and beyond this weekend.”
“Great with Coco! She was reliable, communicative, and took good care of her while I was away. Coco seemed happy and well cared for when I got back. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again.”
About: Since I was 14, I’ve been responsible for taking care of my own dogs and those of my neighbors, family, and friends. I come from a large dog family, from a Great Pyrenees to Labs and German Shepherds, but I’ve also been able to care for smaller dogs in my neighborhood. I’ve also cared for sensitive and reactive dogs who came from hard backgrounds, so I have experience taking it slow to build trust. I also care for cats as well, with experience from my own 13 year old orange cat and my mom’s two crazy kittens. Whether it’s taking them on walks, playing tug of war, giving them meds, or just keeping them company, I love any time I get to spend with fur babies. I’m preparing to leave for a scholarship in Poland at the end of September after graduating with my Master’s degree in May, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am free most days and times with the exception of a few days with prior commitments throughout the summer. I strive to provide the best care with the utmost respect for you and your fur baby’s home. If there’s anything I should know about your pet’s care preferences or any neighborhood/environmental concerns, please let me know so that I may keep your pet safe at all times. I have experience with fenced in yards and open areas, as well as plenty of experience with flight risk dogs (those German Shepherds love to run!) and returning them safely home. My goal is to keep your pet and place safe and clean until you return home.
“Kara was amazing with my two huskies! They seemed to really take to her, and she sent daily pictures of them along with narrative updates. I would definitely rebook with Kara again!”
“Amanda was wonderful! I would definitely recommend her, she genuinely cared for our senior dog who became ill when we were gone and went above and beyond to help with cleaning and checking on her despite it being Christmas. Don’t hesitate to book with her!!”
“Danielle was so awesome with my poodle. She was very understanding of his separation anxiety (and my anxiety with leaving him). She sent lots of updates, and it was great to see how happy my pup was with her. I’m sure Truffle is excited to see her again!”
“Jeni did a wonderful job taking care of Murphy while we were gone on vacation. Her visits were prompt and she always shared what she and Murphy did. Would definitely recommend her and use again.”
“This was our first time having Nicole watch our dogs. She is very accommodating with other things like packages, mail, watering plants etc. Our dogs felt comfortable with her right from the start. By the end of the week they were very happy to see her arrive for love fun and food. It made us feel great knowing they were in good hands. Nicole is very good and quick with communicating. I highly recommend her.... except when we need her time of course... 😉”
“Ryngo has been getting the attention she needs while I am at work! She has been doing a fantastic job keeping me updated and making sure my pup gets her potty and meal breaks while I’m gone :) I look forward to continuing to book her during my work hours!”
About: I love animals and am reliable, patient and attentive to their individual needs - whether they need a feeding schedule, long walks or short frequent walks, or just companionship and care. I grew up with both large and small dog breeds. I also have experience with cats and litter box cleanup. Weekends I can spend entire day with pet. During the week, I do have an in-office job so am available for drop in visits or walks before work, at lunch or after work. For in home stays, I can go home at lunch for feeding and to let your pet outside. I can care for your crated or uncrated pets, clean litter boxes, adhere to feeding/treat schedule and administer oral medications. During the week I am available for drop in visits or walks in the morning before work or in the evening after work. I am available anytime on weekends.
About: I have had dogs of my own since I was born and pet sat since I was 15...but had experience with drop ins, housing, and walking dogs since I was 12! I love all animals, and currently have 3 dogs of my own since Small, medium, and large! I would love to love on your pets while you are away, so reach out if you need me for anything! I work as a nanny and have a very flexible schedule that allows me to take mostly all visits that are booked a week in advance, and I can work around later bookings! I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs at my house...a small, medium, and large, that LOVE to play. This is an option if you are comfortable with that or I am happy to do house visits or stay at the house!
“Savannah was absolutely excellent! So communicative and so attentive to our pups while we were away! She took great care of our dogs and sent lots of photo updates! 100% recommend her!!”
About: I’ve been a pet parent my entire life starting with dogs and evolving to include cats, a bearded dragon, birds, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds and rabbits. Most of my pets have been rescues. I am a volunteer for the Hamilton County Humane Society where I help with cat socializing, cattery cleaning, and the Pet Smart adoption hub. As I retired earlier this year, I have an open and flexible schedule. Because I am retired, my schedule is very flexible and open. I can be available early mornings and for extended drop-in visits throughout the day and evening. As a long time pet owner, I am very aware of pet safety and security. Pets will be closely attended and supervised for all activities during my visits.
“Katherine is a saint!! My little girl isn’t too good with new people, and Katherine did an amazing job with her!! I couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of and love my girl!!! Will definitely request Katherine to watch her again!!! THANK YOU!!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Northfield
Jena was a wonderful cat sitter for our 2 geriatric cats during our recent vacation. Both cats were comfortable enough with Jena that they didn't hide or run away during her visits like they usually do with non-family. We also appreciated the daily report with photos. We will be booking Jena as our cat sitter again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Northfield on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,282 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Northfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northfield. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
