“Kyla has exceeded expectations! She is thoughtful, conscientious, thorough and dependable. She has been looking after my 3 cats, 2 of which are sensitive and shy, and she is doing a fabulous job! I feel so much better knowing she is giving them excellent care. She sends several photos and comments that ease my mind and her expertise and feedback is very much appreciated. My partner and I value her very much and would definitely book her again!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Andrea was incredible. Good communication, consistent and reliable. I almost got the feeling my cats were disappointed to have us home because they liked Andrea so much! Really though, I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. Thank you, Andrea!! Jeff and Ernie and I all appreciate you so!”
“Kate did a great job! She was prompt with communications and very attentive to our cat- she clearly loves working with animals ! We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to others.”
“We highly recommend Kate without reservation! We have never left our kittens, Crystal and Opal, with anyone since we were apprehensive to have anyone else watch them. We had heard great things about Rover and were lucky to find Kate! She was so flexible to meet all of our needs since we also have fish! It was very assuring to get a daily report from Kate with photographs showing them playing and being happy with her! We were so pleased with everything and highly recommend her! We will definitely be using her services again soon and will be repeat customers!”
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.
“This team worked with me on the dynamics of my pack, and did a great job trying to develop a comfortable relationship with each dog. Will continue to use them in the future!”
About: Motivated and dependable pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes and temperaments. Since 8th grade, I have been volunteering at the NHSPCA, where I regularly played with, exercised, and socialized dogs to support their enrichment and comfort. I also grew up in a dog-loving household and have always had pets, including dachshunds, golden, and currently a lab and a Great Pyrenees mix rescue dogs. Through these, I am skilled in dog walking, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing attentive companionship to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable while owners are away. Known for strong communication, punctuality, and attention to detail when following care instructions. Experience balancing a busy schedule as a full-time college student while maintaining responsibility-focused roles such as gym supervisor and tutor has strengthened time management and reliability. Passionate about building trust with both pets and their owners and committed to providing consistent, high-quality care! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. As a busy but well-organized college student, I primarily offer availability on weekends and Friday nights since I do not go out. During these times, I can provide focused, reliable care including walks, drop-ins, and possibly overnight sitting. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention and timely care. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and trustworthy environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I would carefully follow all provided instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and house rules while respecting the space. I keep pets supervised, maintain clean food and water areas, and ensure doors, leashes, and gates are secure at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and structured routines to help pets feel comfortable and stress-free!
“I highly recommend Leilani! She is reliable, professional, and genuinely care about the well-being of my dog. Communication is excellent, and I always receive updates and photos, which gives me peace of mind while I'm away. My dog is always excited to see her and comes home happy and well-exercised after every walk. It's clear she has a real love for animals and treat my dog as if it were her own. I couldn't be happier with the service and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.”
About: Hello! I have taken care of my own, family, and friends' animals for over 10 years and those in community going on three years. I've worked with most breeds and ages.

Whether it's walking, daily visits and feeding or all of the above I'm happy to help. I have experience with senior dogs and their sometimes more complex needs, including medical. I work from home and as a result have a flexible schedule. I take time out of my day regularily to walk, play and be with our dogs and yours, it's a great way for me to break up my day and get to know the great dogs in the community. When caring for your pets I take great care to be respectful of your space, only going where I need to for your animals. I make a point to clean any pet mess and ensure they are secure before leaving.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Northfield on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 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.

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.
