“We really enjoyed working with Andrea from our first meet and greet through receiving her drop in cards while we were traveling internationally. During our meet and greet Andrea asked a lot of great questions and put us at ease with her experience. Our two cats were well taken care of! Will definitely rebook in the future. Thanks Andrea!!”
“Kyla was AMAZING!! She was so sweet with our cranky kitty and sent multiple pictures every day. She is very communicative and flexible and we felt so safe leaving our house and pet with her. We will definitely be booking her again the next time we go out of town!”
“Alex did an amazing job with Roscoe! We are very happy with her services. She also filled in last minute and was super flexible and professional. We will definitely be contacting her again. Thanks, Alex!”
“Katie was a joy to work with. From the first time she met with Lucy for an introduction before taking on the job through the daily updates while we were away, she made every effort to make us feel comfortable leaving our little one in her trusted care. She is kind and generous and we would gladly use her services in the future. Lucy our pup clearly enjoyed her company. Thanks Katie!”
“Autumn did an amazing job looking after Peppermint. She provided updates multiple times daily including photos and I could see how happy our puppy was to be out with her. She was very communicative and helped me out with an emergency last minute request. I would 1000% use Autumn again in the future.”

About: I've been a pet owner since I was a kid! I really enjoy animals, particularly dogs, and have cared for all manner of animals in my life. I work on a school-year schedule, so aside from caring for my own kiddos I can be flexible during the summer months to make sure that your animals have the care they need. I will make sure your pets are well-cared for, well-walked, well-watered, and happy for your return home. I am open and receptive to any specific care requests you may have.
“Lauren is simply the best! This was my second time booking with her, and I am so glad and grateful that I did. She did such a wonderful job taking care of my cat over the holidays (and sent a wealth of photos and updates, which helped us cope with being away for so long). My cat was so calm and well-adjusted when we returned home — she clearly loves Lauren! She’s our favorite cat-sitter, hands down. Thank you, Lauren!”
“We are so grateful to have found Michelle! She went above and beyond to help us over the holiday weekend. She is so kind. Upon meeting her, I instantly felt at ease leaving our pets in her care!”
“It was a very nice meeting Lani. She was on time, very cordial, definitely had a rapport with our Berniedoodle, Sophie, who lay right by her feet. We all spent time together so she could get to know our Sophie. We all look forward to having her back very soon. Thank you Lani.”
“Cynthia took care of my elderly cat who has medical needs while I was away on vacation. She was professional, caring, and dependable. She was excellent at keeping in communication and providing me with updates so that I could relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that my cat was in capable hands. I highly recommend her and would hire her in the future!”
“Betsy was a HUGE help to us while we were away on vacation!! She made drop-in visits to check on our fur baby, and we couldn't have felt more at ease! Our dog is very skittish around strangers, but Betsy was able to put her right at ease. Our dog is rather picky and won't eat very well unless some is there. Betsy accommodated this need and sat with her while she ate each day. She also sent us picture and video updates throughout the time we were away to let us know our baby was doing great! We couldn't have asked for anyone better to help take care of our dog, and we sure hope Betsy is available for our future needs since she helped us SO much!”
“Vienna watched our cat while we were gone over spring break. She did a great job! She showed up when she said she would, took care of the tasks needed, and our cat was happy. We'd hire Vienna again!”

About: Hello! My name is Darrion. I work at a veterinary hospital full time as a vet tech. My boyfriend Jake works from home full time so someone is always home. My passion is taking care of animals and working with them. I live in a home that has a fenced yard. We will offer lots of play time. We have lots of dog toys lying around. I have experience giving medications/vaccinations, working with special needs dogs, and working with senior dogs. I have a lot of experience with pets that have health issues as well. I will do whatever it takes for your baby to be happy and have a great time. Any special requests? I will try to fulfill them! I want your pet to feel like they're at home and I'll do whatever I can to make them feel that way! I work full time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. Off Thursdays. Work one Saturday a month. When I'm off work, I'm available to be with your pet the entire day. When I'm at work, I'm unfortunately not available to be with your pet until I'm off work. BUT my boyfriend Jake works from home so he will be with your pet all day. My pets have free roam of my house at all times, even when I'm not home. If your pet is good free roaming at all times, even when someone isn't home, I'll definitely let them do that. If you prefer them to be in a crate when no one is home, I can do that. All pets are allowed on the furniture. I treat your pets as if they're my own.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Northfield on Rover is $26.04 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:

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.
