“Wonderful! Spent the day with my puppy. Was kind and caring towards her. Sent me frequent updates with pictures. Highly recommend Shannon for watching your fur baby.”
“Mae is awesome!! We were scrambling to find someone to watch our two 1yr old cats a few days before leaving and Mae was kind enough to help us out last minute. I can tell Mae truly understands the nature of cats and all the quirks that come with them. She really does a great job of catering to their unique personalities. My one cat is usually extremely shy with strangers but seemed to warm up to Mae quicker than with most people. Mae left everything very clean and sent a bunch of cute photos of the kitties. She even printed some physical copies of the photos for us! Thanks for everything!! <3”
About: Been around animals all my life, they care and love i have and the joy it brings is out of this world. Also as i help care for my grandmom and she has had pets growing up. I know it will bring her joy and will take up her time as she sits in the house, if we dont go out for the day. As i work on the week days, i am availble (if nothing pops up) on the weekends, like a friday night untill sunday night if that will work for anybody. And also i do work in the school system so having weeks off for or a couple days off can change my schedule but for now, weekends are best. If pets need care i am here to learn and help, i do offer a yard (sadly is not fenced) but if on a leash your pet will be taken very care of and we be shown love and care.
About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed
“Sade was wonderful and did a good job making sure our two dogs Luna and Scout were happy and well taken care of. She specifically was good at communicating with us and providing updates throughout the day. Thank you Sade!”
“Jules was great with our very energetic pup who also experiences separation anxiety! She sent us regular updates and we felt relaxed knowing Shiloh was being taken care of so well! We would 100% book again with Jules in the future.”
“Meghan was wonderful staying overnight with our very anxious Irish Doodle. She was patient and kind to him. Administered his medicine and took him for walks, taking special care of his injured knee. He loved her. Left our house in such great order, didn't even know she was there. I highly recommend her and hopefully can book again when another opportunity arises!”
“This was my first experience using a pet sitter I didn’t know personally. Dean made me feel very at ease leaving Dunk in his care. He texted me during the stay and sent the best pictures. And in addition he cleaned up the house before he left! Definitely someone to be recommended.”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats and fish. I’ve cared for lizards and small furry friends as well. I will always stop to pet a dog and I’ve had animals come up to me out in the wild on multiple occasions. Although I currently do not have a pet, I love sitting for my friends. I’ve cared for all size and age of dog from a few months to 16 years. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. Im currently off for the summer but teaching summer school for the month of July. My schedule is pretty open and much if what I do have scheduled is flexible. Although I live in an apartment, my complex is extremely pet friendly with 4 dog parks and a full walking loop with poop bags around the entire property.
About: Volunteered at a dog shelter (Rylies rescue) and for an organization called pawsibilities housing up to 50+ cats plus animals like farm animals, birds, and everything in between, so I’m very familiar with all sorts of animals and temperaments. Worked with 30+ cats in one space and familiar with administering medication. I’m in ocean city full time for the summer, and I have a very flexible schedule so I can provide care throughout the day whenever needed. I go on walks daily so dog walking fits into my routine. I’m also willing to travel between shore points to make sure your pet gets the care they need! I take care of my special needs dog, Wyatt, often. I feed, walk, and bathe him, and administer his meds whenever needed. All of which I am willing to do for your pets!
“Sterlin was amazing with my 14 yr old French-bull dog she kept me in the loop with everything.This is her second time watching my boy and I couldn’t of asked for anything better than her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. TY Sterlin for treating my dog as if he were your own. 💗”
About: I worked at a dog resort for a year. I’ve had a dog for three years at home. I love dogs. I am more than happy to watch yours! I’m currently working part time, so it is easy to manage tasks throughout the day! I’m always around and a very reliable person I do not offer any services at my house, but I will gladly come to yours to take care of the fur babies. I’m very clean and will treat yours like my own!
“Sarah came through to save the day when another pet sitter cancelled last-minute. When she saw my request, she called me right away to introduce herself and get the details to see if she’d be able to take the job. I’m so happy it worked out because Sarah was the best! She took cuddly care of my elderly cat, sending updates and pics regularly, and keeping me up-to-date on him taking his meds, etc. My cat has allergies and has a lot of boogers—Sarah was kind and understanding to this sweet old snot machine, even while being peppered by sneezes. Thank you SO much!”
About: I’ve had dogs before, so I’m comfortable managing and caring for them daily. I also grew up around about 16 dogs, which helped me develop patience, confidence, and the ability to handle different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I understand routines like feeding, walks, supervision, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. During the school year, I’m available before and after school. I leave for school in the morning and return around 2:40 PM, so I’m dependable for afternoon, evening, and weekend care. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I follow owner instructions carefully, keep pets supervised, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort.

About: I have experience taking care of dogs and cats! Dogs that are more trained and have troubles with eating during given dinner hours! I have lots of experience with shy cats and anxious dogs, given my cat has been very shy towards others, and my dog is incredibly anxious! While I do have more experience with cats, I am as much of a dog lover as I am a cat lover! Currently also trying to look for a part time job, but my schedule is all around free besides on super early mornings, weekdays are fair game for me as of right now! Same with some weekends if given prior notices! I will follow any given guidelines and rules to anyone I will be having my services given to! I am a very clean person, especially with animals! I will follow any given diets or routines with what ever critter you may have in store for me!
“Ella was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Brody:). She was super accommodating and cared for him like he was her puppy...she even purchased him toys! Ella is very responsible and loves animals dearly. We will be using Ella again for sure:). You will be so happy if you ever decide to leave your furry family members with Ella. Thank you so much:).”
“Sally was wonderful with our dogs! She helped us out in a pinch when our dog sitter bailed on us 4 days before our wedding. Our dogs did great with her (even being slightly timid dogs). She even brought some snacks and toys, such a thoughtful touch! We will definitely be using Sally again!”

CeeCee was the most caring and incredible dog sitter. Our Cavapoo usually doesn’t get too comfortable in someone’s home but within 10 minutes she warmed up to CeeCee and was her happy go lucky self around her home. She sent pics and updates and paid so much special attention to our pup. I’m only sad, that she doesn’t live closer to my town to make her our regular sitter. 10 out of 10 review !! I’d 100 percent recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jared is phenomenal. He’s responsible, timely, caring and very serious in his approach to watching your pets. We have three dogs that he took care of in our home for ten days recently. The dogs loved him and he loved them back. We will always use Jared in any future situation for which we need Rover services or any pet services. Thank u so much Jared!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Northfield on Rover is $35.31 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 332 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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
