About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I’ve been 10 years old. I love taking them on walks and playing with them outside. I have experience with cats and dogs alike. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a job at a restaurant but usually get around 2-3 shifts a week and work 4-9 during the week days and 9:30-3:30 on the weekends. I get my schedule 2 weeks in advance I have a huge yard with a pool. We love to play with our dog in the pool and ley her run around all the time. We feed her twice and day and take her outside and much as we can so she can sprint around the yard and go exploring. Our cat lives outside but we feed him twice a day and when shi get comes he comes inside to hang out with us.
About: I currently have a Labrador Retriever and a cat, and before them I raised a golden retriever who lived to 11. I’m close to the MetroParks, so even without a fenced yard there’s plenty of opportunity for long walks and fresh air. I believe a calm dog is a happy, well‑behaved dog, and I make sure every pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog in a new environment. My goal is to put your mind at ease so you can fully enjoy your vacation or event. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. I’m dedicated to making animals feel at home—just like I hope for my own pets when I’m away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and attention throughout the day when the weather is nice. I’m also home on weekends, so your pets will have consistent company and care. I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog easily if needed. I am in an apartment, but there’s convenient side walks and paths for taking bathroom breaks multiple times per day.
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 :)
“Krista took great care of my cat while I was out of town for the weekend! She sent a detailed update and lots of pictures during every visit! I will definitely be booking with Krista again”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over 20 years. I have extensive hands-on experience raising, training, and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I trained two German Shepherd from just 8 weeks old, later cared for a Pit Bull mix, and successfully walked all three dogs together with excellent behavior and control. Today, I share life with a 115 lb Anatolian Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable handling large, strong breeds as well as energetic dogs that need confident leadership. My approach centers on structure, obedience, consistency, and creating a calm environment where dogs feel secure and happy. I genuinely love dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in care, companionship, or someone dependable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they are safe, exercised, and cared for. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and confident with dogs, I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pet. I work full-time but come home midday for lunch, which allows me to provide potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins during the day. Evenings and weekends are when I’m most available for walks, boarding, drop-ins, and quality one-on-one attention. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and exercise, plus a clean, pet-friendly home.
“Savannah exceeded expectations, she was absolutely phenomenal with our mini Goldendoodles. Her meal and potty visits were on time and she stayed with them for a good amount of time. We recommend Savannah for your pet”
“Galianna did a great job watching and caring for our pups! We all enjoyed getting updates and pics from the visits. It was nice seeing them get so pampered and loved on while we were away. Galianna is very trustworthy and kept up with excellent communication the entire trip! I would absolutely hire her again in the future and feel our dogs would be very happy to see her again!”
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. At that time, we got a standard poodle puppy (Inspector Gadget) who I fed, walked, played with, and let out before/after school everyday. When he was about 3, we also got a springer spaniel (Sookie) from the shelter who was an absolute angel, and mine and Gadget’s best friend. I always made sure they had what they needed and felt loved! I took care of Gadget until he sadly passed at the age of 14, and Sookie until she passed at the age of 10, so I have experience with elderly dogs as well. My mom recently got a golden retriever puppy who I would visit to walk, feed, and play with occasionally while she is at work. I also have experience with birds and cats. I am currently working as a resident at one of the local hospitals, so my schedule is variable, but by booking me you know that you will get a trusted professional to care for your pets. I am free every other weekend to care for pets, and am generally free in the evenings of weekdays. I have no problem showing any pet love, regardless of size or breed, and will make sure they get the attention and love they need! I am used to big and mid-sized dogs since that’s what I grew up with, so walking large dogs will not be a problem. I am familiar with standard training practices for dogs as well and will adhere to any specific instructions.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets of friends, neighbors and family! I helped with walking, feeding, bathing, and overall care for their pets!

I currently live in an apartment, has a lot of space and in a quiet neighborhood. There are parks nearby and a walkable neighborhood, which are great for walks!
About: I have been a pet owner and animal lover my entire life. I have owned dogs, cats, a bird, and fish.

I enjoy getting to know and interacting with all animals and can’t wait to get to know yours! I am currently on my summer break from college, so I have a fairly flexible schedule and availability to walk, pet sit, and board your pets! I provide loving and attention care in both my home and my client’s home, by making pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to provide multiple walks a day and give plenty of time for play.

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.)

While at my home me and the pups are relaxing on the couch. My dog and I are big dog park enthusiasts or going on hikes. I know lot of dogs don't enjoy dog parks which gives me an excuse to go on hikes.

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

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.

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.

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.
