About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I always had pets, mostly dogs and cats but also rodents, snakes, and frogs. I have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.
“Jamie was fantastic and great at communicating. She took really good care of our dogs and rabbit. After the nightmare we had with another sitter on Rover, Jamie was a great relief. I would highly recommend her!”
“Maria was AMAZING! My two kitty cats warmed up to her instantly which, if you have a cat, that says A LOT about how warm and inviting her energy is. I’m just traveling in this area so I’m not local but if I was… I would definitely be hiring Maria every time to take care of my babies. Thank you again!”
About: I'm an animal lover and dependable pet sitter providing caring, personalized attention for dos and cats. Whether it's walks, playtime, feedings or drop-ins, I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I have great flexibility with my full-time job and can do drop-ins or walks as needed weekdays and weekends. Many working parents utilize my flexibility for a lunch time walk to break up the pet's day or anytime some fresh air and exercise is needed. I cater to what is best for the furry client and pet owner. I can do backyard play with the pet if the owner prefers that, or indoor time as well. Sometimes senior dogs just need some petting or fresh air while other dogs want to chase a ball and play fetch.
“I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in Mae’s hands! She came over for an in-person visit before the actual sit just to get familiar with the area and routine. She sent photos and updates the days she dropped by. All communication was fast and seamless, I plan to book Mae again in the future as I go out of town quite often.”
“Stephanie was awesome! Pru was a fan of her right away. We had Stephanie stop in twice today to let Pru out to do her business. Stephanie stayed and played with Pru each time to give her a break from her crate. You could not tell that anyone stopped by as everything was where we left it. Our puppy was happy and not at all upset about our the extended time that we were away. We look forward to booking Stephanie the next time we are away and Pru will be excited to see her again as well.”

I do take last minute walking gigs, but for repeat walking or drop-ins, I would like to set up a meet and greet visit to get to know you and your furry friends! I would like to go over any special needs, medications, limitations, health issues, training your animal may have and also get your pets acclimated to me before taking them out/caring for them on my own.

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
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’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two 2-year-old American Bulldogs that I raised and trained from puppies. Because of that, I’m especially experienced with puppy care, basic training, and handling large, high-energy dogs. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes, from small family dogs to larger breeds, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work a couple of evenings each week at a restaurant and train for soccer for about two hours on some mornings, which leaves me with plenty of flexibility to provide pet care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I’m committed to giving your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and any medications if needed. I’ll also keep your home clean, provide regular updates with photos, and treat both your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Diana was awesome. She got back with me initially within an hour. She took great care of my two cats and communicated with me each day including pictures of my kitties I definitely would hire her again”
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.
“Lisa provided excellent care for our cat Harry. Lisa is very punctual and thorough. Lisa arrived each day as scheduled and provided for Harry as though he was a member of her family. I will definitely request Lisa for future pet care.”
“Andrew was absolutely amazing! He was very attentive to my animals and made sure I was updated every visit. Definitely will be rebooking with him in the near future.”

Adrienne is someone who genuinely cares about your pet. Choosing her to watch my cat while I was away for 10 days was the perfect choice. I couldn’t be any happier. Between the updates, the photos, and her willingness to go above and beyond, we are so thankful we found her! Thank you Adrienne!!!!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
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.
