About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I’m currently a full-time college student studying Radiologic Technology from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week. Since my classes are online, I spend most of my time at home and can easily plan my day around caring for pets. This allows me to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have three dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I always make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your usual routines and any specific instructions you leave to help keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I also understand how reassuring updates can be, so I’m happy to send pictures and messages while you're away!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a child, I was always the one bringing home strays, and apparently, I never outgrew that animal-loving gene! My daughter and I used to enjoy caring for pets through Rover together when she was younger. Now that she’s off to college, I suddenly have a much quieter house and a lot more free time than I’m used to. I thought returning to Rover would be the perfect way to fill some of that empty-nest space with something I truly love: spending time with animals and giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring looking after your pet while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is being treated with the same love and attention I would want for my own. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to spend with your pet. Whether they enjoy long walks, playing, relaxing together, or curling up for some extra snuggles, I'm happy to give them the companionship they need. I love taking long walks, have plenty of patience, and, most importantly, I have lots of love and snuggles to go around! ❤️🐶🐱 I would love the opportunity to become one of your pet's favorite people while you're away! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work from home and now have an empty nest, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for walks, playtime, snuggles, and personalized attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own. In your home, I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine while providing dependable care, companionship, exercise, and plenty of affection.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have completed multiple dog training courses with dogs my family and I have owned. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, reactive dogs, and animals who may need a little extra patience or guidance. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. As a nurse, I'm detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions. I can help with walks, runs, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention! My schedule is flexible while I pursue my next nursing position, allowing me to dedicate time and attention to your pets. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry family members and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands! I recently moved back home from Colorado and am taking a little time to recharge before starting my next nursing chapter! I've been a nurse for five years and love caring for others, but I've always had a special soft spot for animals. I'm excited to spend some extra time caring for furry friends and giving them plenty of love and attention. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm available most days for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following all instructions provided by their owners. I know pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to get to know their individual personalities, needs, and preferences. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of affection and companionship. I will always treat your home with respect and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands!

About: I’ve owned several dogs over the years, and have helped family and friends with their dogs as well. I adopted a reactive pit bull and trained her, making great progress in her ability to meet new people, animals, and have new experiences, and want to help care for other animals now that she has passed. Happy to work with all kinds of dogs! I work from home so I am available during the day for quick walks and potty breaks, with time for a longer walk at lunchtime. In evenings, I often have theater rehearsals or recreational sports leagues, but am able to come home within a few hours. I am very comfortable in any environment, and I am willing to work in whichever way will make you more comfortable for your pet’s needs.

About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life, and having dogs as part of my life has given me a genuine appreciation for the companionship, joy, and unconditional love they bring. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I believe they all deserve patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. Now that I’m retired, I have more time to devote to caring for dogs and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their families are away. Whether your dog needs a potty break, a little playtime, fresh water, or simply some company and attention, I’ll treat them with the same care and consideration I would want for my own dog. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll do my best to give both you and your furry family member peace of mind. Retirement has given me the wonderful opportunity to spend more time doing things I love, and caring for dogs is a great way to spend that time! I understand that pets are family, and I believe they deserve lots of love, attention, patience, and care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet with someone else. I will treat your pet with the same kindness and care I would want for my own, and I’m happy to keep you updated so you know how things are going.

About: I started to house/pet sit in 2012 and have been doing it 2-3 times a year ever since. I mostly have taken care of dogs, but have taken care of a couple of cats. I have a full time job on the south side of Indy. I work Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:00. I’m able to feed and take outside before heading to work (if staying at a client’s house) and after work, can take out, feed, and hang out with the pet(s). At a client’s home, I make sure dogs go out and potty and run around if they want to. I always check to see if the pets have plenty of water and give treats, per client’s directions. If a pet has an accident in the house, I will clean it up.

“Jazlin was wonderful with my cats!! It was such a relief knowing they were well cared for while I was away. Both cats warmed up to her! That means a lot. I hated the idea of them hiding...but I didn't need to worry...they both came out to meet her. She was super easy to work with and had great communication...I'd definitely book her again! Thanks, Jazlin!!!”

About: My friends and family have trusted me with their dogs for years, and I grew up with a dog of my own, so I know how to keep pups happy, safe and on their routine. With no pets of my own right now, your dog gets 100% of my attention, plus regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I work fully remote, so I'm home most of the day and can keep your pet right on their normal schedule. I also love being outdoors, so walks are already part of my daily routine. Your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention and company, never long hours alone. Safety comes first. My home is smoke-free and quiet, with no children and no other pets, so your dog gets a calm space and my full attention. I don't have a fenced yard, so dogs are always leashed outside, which means no escapes and no unsupervised yard time. I have crates, toys and backup food on hand. In your home, I'll follow your routine, keep doors and gates secure, and send regular updates.

About: I have alot of experience with caring for cats and dogs as I've taken care of them since a child and have had many special cats and dogs of my own over my adult years. Pet care fits well into my routine, especially during evenings and weekends. I work in Plainfield Tuesday through Friday, so I’m typically available for evening visits and walks on those days. I have much more flexibility on weekends and Mondays and can accommodate daytime visits, walks, and longer periods of care. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that keeps their pet comfortable and their normal routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any house rules. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll provide a safe, comfortable environment and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Northfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Northfield is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $31 per visit. 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 2,585 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Northfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northfield. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
