Kendall did a great job caring for my dogs. They loved her!! She took them on adventures and treated them to pup cups at Starbucks! Yes, my dogs are a little bougie 😊. I highly recommend Kendall to care for your pet(s).

We would highly recommend Bailey for your pet/house sitting needs. It was our first time using Rover and we have three dogs (2 large) so we wanted someone that was comfortable around large dogs. Our dogs warmed up to Bailey as soon as they met her. We felt our home was in good hands and came back to it looking exactly as left. Will definitely look to Bailey in the future when needed.

Regina was wonderful! She took great care of our dog and cat in our home for the weekend. We look for a sitter who can spend a lot of time with our pets and she’s able to do that! She’s professional, conscientious and trustworthy! I recommend her for anyone looking for pet care - 100%.

Mica was absolutely great! She was very accommodating with last-minute changes and handled everything smoothly. She clearly loves dogs! She took them for walks, spent quality time with them, and sent tons of great pictures that kept us updated and reassured the whole time. We’ve used her before and will definitely continue using her in the future. Highly recommend!

We’ve used Rover for years and never had such a positive experience as we did with Megan. She not only took diligent notes about all of my pups little quirks and preferences, but she really went the extra mile every opportunity she had. Our dogs loved her, too 😃. I will absolutely be using her in the future and recommending Megan to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.

Cole was a Godsend when I found myself needing to find care for our two pups at the last minute on 4th of July weekend. She specializes in dogs with firework and thunder anxiety which both of our girls struggle with so when I saw her profile, I prayed she would have availability, and that prayer was answered. Nicole came right over to meet us and everything worked out better than I could have hoped for. She is very communicative and sent updates and photos throughout the visit. She even brought a white noise machine to help mask the noises from the fireworks to help keep our babies! If you are looking for a kind, compassionate, attentive and highly skilled caregiver you can not go wrong with Nicole! She is amazing and I will definitely reach out to her the next time our girls need a sitter! Thank you Nicole! Until next time!

Stephanie stayed with our dogs for 10 days and took great care of them. She was also more than willing to help with small household things. The dogs seemed super happy and comfortable with her. I have a diabetic chi. and she learned how to give him his shots as well. I would definitely recommend her!

Absolutely was a life saver for me this past week. Incredible communication, went out of her way to be flexible for me, sent me updates as I needed them, and kept me up to date on every detail of her weekend with Bella. I would book her 100x over and have absolutely zero concerns she would be perfect for anybody in any situation! Cannot thank her enough!!!!

Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!

Chris and Liz were absolutely amazing caring for our dogs during our 10 day vacation. We really appreciated the service of them staying at our home. On the very first day, one of our older dogs was accidentally injured, and Chris went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well cared for throughout her recovery. He kept us updated with frequent messages and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear they genuinely cared for our dogs as if they were their own. We came home to two happy, well loved pups and couldn't be more grateful. We highly recommend Chris and Liz to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy, professional pet sitters!

My wife and I had a family vacation for 5 days and it was our first time leaving our new home and pets, so naturally we were a little nervous! However, Rachel made it so we didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away. This was such a great experience and we highly recommend Rachel. She is very kind, respectful, and reliable! We love now feeling like we have someone we can trust when we need help with the pets and we are so grateful!!!! 10 stars!

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I bring to every pet. I don’t just love animals, I notice the small details, follow their routines closely, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. As a dedicated dog parent, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, including senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra support, puppies who require consistent supervision and routine, and pets who need additional patience or reassurance in new environments. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining specific feeding schedules, including pets with special diets or picky eating habits. I’m also used to managing multiple care needs at once, such as balancing walks, feeding routines, and medication timing for more than one pet in a household. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each stay or visit. For example, I make it a point to share how your pet is adjusting, how they’re eating, and any little personality moments that help you feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for, like they’re on their own little vacation. 🥰 Since I am a student completing school online, I spend a lot of my time at home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to take breaks from studying to spend time with animals, whether that’s going for a walk, providing companionship, or keeping them on their normal routine while their owners are away. My own dogs are a big part of my daily life, so caring for animals already fits naturally into my routine. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, attention, and feeling comfortable in their own environment, and I’m happy to provide that extra love and care when you can’t be there. Animals are my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a dedicated “helicopter dog parent,” I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. For dog walking, I ensure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s needs—whether that means an energetic outing or a relaxed stroll with plenty of sniff time. I’m experienced with a range of personalities, leash behaviors, and special requirements. For in-home care, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I have experience with both cats and dogs, including administering medications, following detailed instructions, and managing feeding schedules. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and comfort needs.

Overall, Kellsey did great with caring for my dogs! My girls can “pout” a bit while I am away and she made sure that she messaged me to ensure that they were ok and that it was normal. She was able to meet my girls before my trip so that I knew they got along well!

About: I have around 15 years of experience caring for dogs. I grew up with family dogs and helped with daily care, training, walks, bathing, feeding/medications for senior dogs and lots of love. I’ve also dog-sat for friends and family and I’m very comfortable with all personalities and energy levels! I have a flexible work schedule and a couple of days off each week, which means I have plenty of time to take care of my pets. On workdays, I’m usually gone for 4–6 hours at most, and I work close enough to home that I can easily stop in for walks, potty breaks, feeding, and some extra attention. Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. I follow all feeding and walking instructions (& anything else provided) keep them on-leash unless otherwise approved, and never put them in overwhelming situations. I take things at their pace, offer lots of reassurance, and make sure they feel loved and safe the entire time🛡️🤍

FAQs for House Sitting - Northfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Northfield on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,458 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Northfield. 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 Northfield 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 Northfield 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 Northfield 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 Northfield. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
