About: I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who treats every animal like my own. I have always had pets growing up and I always help out my family and friends with taking care of their pets while they are away. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, and senior pets, including feeding, basic training, and giving medications. What sets me apart is my patience and attention to each pet’s needs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work in retail, so I can take care of your pets in the mornings and evenings. Occasionally, I’ll get off work in the early afternoon, so I’m also available in the afternoons. I’m quite adept at following instructions. If I ever have questions, I make sure to ask them instead of doing something and not knowing if it’s right or wrong.
About: Growing up in 4H, the importance of responsible animal stewardship was instilled in my at a young age. I believe your pet deserves the utmost respect, attention, and kindness at all times. I am an incoming graduate student, so I will have an open schedule and plenty of time to play with and tend to your pet throughout the day. I have had and watched many pets with a wide range of personalities. I feel comfortable and confident interacting with new animals and getting to know their individual needs. It is important to me that any animal in my care feel as safe and happy as possible.
About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks. since i've moved to care for my grandma & i can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet & loves exploring local parks and trails, and i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four legged friends who love getting distracted! HOT WEATHER: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide outings to low stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!) i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in home, whether its playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of early may, i am taking dog training certification courses to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)
About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.

I am an owner of two Shih Tzu's and I rescued them a few years ago. I watch animals from puppies to senior dogs. I will also send you pictures of your animal and give you updates. I can't wait to meet you and spoil your pets. I am looking for part time work as dog walker, stop in visits, and cat sitting. I am a full time teacher. I am available over breaks as well.

About: I’ve provided care for animals since I was a young child. Successfully completed a basic dog training course at Alaska SPCA in 2016. My skill ranges from walks to grooming, I’ve got you covered! Currently, I’m working full-time with free availability Sunday through Tuesday! I will require at least a three day notice before the date of booking. Please message me for any questions you may have! I have a balcony and plenty of space for your fur baby to lounge and play.

About: I am available on weekends mostly and evening during the week on some days. Please check schedule. 🐾 My Services and Activities I offer reliable and loving pet care, specializing in dog walking and drop-in visits. My services are designed to give your dog the exercise, attention, and care they need while you're away. I currently have a yorkie poo and he’s truly part of my family. I love and care for him like he’s my child — from daily walks to belly rubs and playtime. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how much joy a dog can bring to everyday life. My dog is a big part of my morning routine. We start the day with a morning walk, which helps both of us get some fresh air and exercise. I work during the day during the week. I make time for attention and cuddles when I get home. On weekends, we spend extra time together — going for longer walks, visiting parks, or just relaxing at home. Having my dog around keeps me active, balanced, and always smiling. When caring for someone’s pet in their home, I make sure to follow their regular routine so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I keep their feeding schedule consistent, make sure they have plenty of water, and give them the same love and attention they’re used to
“I was so nervous to leave my cat for 3 days as it was the first time she had been away from me overnight. Krista was awesome. My cat has been labeled “feisty” by others who have visited my home. But my cat loved Krista! She is is a cat whisperer. I am so happy I found her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, including my girl Koda. Whether it’s 130 pound Newfoundland’s or 45 pound lab mixes, I’ve taken care of them all! I’m currently working as a Golf Professional at a country club near me with limited work hours in the winter. Most shifts are very short or non existent in the winter. I walk koda around a mile and a half five days a week. I always make sure to find time for her. It’s a great way to connect while we burn some energy! I have no problems making sure we have a great walk!

“Takia has been absolutely amazing! She checked in on my dog for 5 days and always sent multiple photos daily with paragraph updates. My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️”
About: My whole life i’ve loved animals. I even wanted to work with them full time. Throughout growing up I have gotten experience with many different animals such as dogs, cats, turtles, and even lizards. I would always be thrilled when I was asked to take care of my family and friends dogs or cats. That being said, when I heard about this app I was super excited! I’d love to keep your pet entertained while you go do your thing! I do work somedays, but I have short hours and flexible schedules. I am willing and able to take care before and after my shift! I have plenty of time for playing and cuddles. I would love to play and walk your dog! I can also accommodate them in any form they need. If you would rather me crate them I can do that too! I have pets of my own. Though if your animal isn’t a fan of other animals, I can easily take mine to my brothers house for the day to accommodate your dog or cats.
“I needed help last minute. Savannah was more than willing to help and responded quickly. She took tons of pics of my boy and adjusted to our needs. I will be contacting her again.”
About: Admittedly I have limited experience when it comes to taking care of pets. I have had a Great Dane as a kid but that's about it. However, I am more than willing to learn more about pet care. Whether it's walking a dog or taking care of a cat, it doesn't matter to me. I am currently working at a part-time restaurant job, taking a college class so I may transfer to another college one day, and volunteering at the museum of natural history. When I'm near animals, I give them my undivided attention. When I had my Great Dane as a kid, I've managed to feed him and take him on walks (I had to have help with him; he was nearly as big as me at the time.)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northfield
Jane does a great job with our two dogs, and they enjoy seeing her when she watches them. She's good at giving updates and pictures during her visit. We feel comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. She is an excellent pet sitter, and we will definitely book her again.
Taylor was great with my dog, Nika. She accepted a last minute booking when my regular sitter fell through which was a lifesaver for both me and my dog’s old lady bladder! My dog was also comfortable enough with Taylor to eat some food so that was an added bonus. I’ll be happy to book with Taylor again

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.

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.
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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Northfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
