About: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.

About: I have been a pet owner and a pet sitter for over a decade. I grew up with pugs and now have a very happy, sweet, old boxer/pittie mix named Lou. From 2016-2017, I worked at a dog daycare in New York City, walking pets to and from home and daycare, and managing rooms of dogs of all sizes while they played, ate meals, and were boarded. I am comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. I love going on long walks as well. I have reliable transportation and am lucky to have a very flexible schedule.

About: I’ve always grown up around animals, from being raised on a farm surrounded by cows to caring for pets of my own. I’m currently the proud owner of two sweet Shih Tzu mixes, Memo and Santi, along with a dwarf bunny named Melody. I also have experience caring for reptiles and amphibians, and I’m completely comfortable handling feeding routines , even the bugs! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always care for your animals with the same love, attention, and patience that I give my own. Here’s a cleaned-up, more professional version of your routine bio: I am a recent college graduate currently with a flexible schedule while I transition into my career as an industrial designer. During my time as a full-time student, I developed strong time management and responsibility skills, and I am now using this period to focus on gaining experience and building my professional path. Because I am currently in the job search process, I have open availability and am able to accommodate a variety of scheduling needs, including weekdays and weekends. For my two little dogs, Santi and Memo, they spend a lot of time cuddling with me. Memo is very curious and will literally follow me everywhere I go, while Santi loves coming along with me for car rides. They both have a lot of fun playing outside, and during potty breaks they like to wander and play around the yard. I will admit my dogs are pretty spoiled ,Santi especially loves when I buy her cute dresses and she gets so excited for a good game of dress-up. My little bunny, Melody, is on what I like to call a “rainbow diet,” meaning she gets a variety of nutritious vegetables. She also really enjoys car rides and loves when I give her a small banana treat. I keep a very consistent and timely routine when it comes to her cage maintenance to make sure she stays clean, comfortable, and happy.
About: I have 6 years of hands-on experience walking and handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years caring for dogs and cats. Prior to this I spent 3 years at a shelter specializing in abused pit bulls. I’m comfortable with high-energy, strong, and rescue dogs, and I also have work experience as a kennel technician caring for cats. Whatever their personality type or energy level, my goal is to make your pets feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own. Im currently in the processing of completing a 10 week pet grooming course that i attend Mon-Fri, 9-4. So, I will be available for house sitting on weekdays, 5 pm to 7:30 am. I can house sit and provide constant care on the weekends if needed. I can walk dogs or do check-ins any day of the week, however Mon-Fri i am only available in the early morning and also after 5pm. I will keep your pets' home environment, clean, safe and calm. For kitties, I can clean litter boxes, follow specific feeding/play routine or simply just be a calm caring presence. For dogs, I can also follow any feeding or enrichment routines you may have, nothing is too elaborate or complex! I have much experience caring for animals in need of highly specific care. I live an active lifestyle so i will have no problem wearing out your puppy or higher energy dog! I can do brisk walks or even runs. I also have a special place in my heart for older pups. I pay especially close attention if a dog is elderly or arthritic. I will never make them feel rushed or forced and I will let them set the pace for the day, depending on their mood and energy level.
About: I am a caring and dependable dog walker with a genuine love and respect for animals. I currently walk two dogs Tuesday through Friday and have built a strong bond with them. One was shy and barked at me at first, but now happily runs up to greet me—an experience I truly value. I also volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter, where I help feed cats, clean their cages, and walk dogs. At times, my responsible and gentle 14-year-old son assists me on walks, offering extra attention and care to the dogs. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work as a substitute teacher where I decide what days I want to work. I like to work half days which would be from 11am to 3pm but if a client needs me during that time I can be available during that time. I will make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations from the client concerning the well being of their pet. I typically give the dog daily exercise 4 to 5 times per day. With the owner permission I will take dog to the dog park and keep a watchful eye on the dog at all times there. If I feel another dog is getting aggressive I will immediately remove the dog so nothing escalates.
About: I love dogs and all animals. I had started a dog-walking/boarding service in downtown Cleveland while I was living at the 9. I had four clients who I worked for daily; I would take the dogs for a walk outside (or if raining, play with dogs at the dog park in the building,) I would clean up after them and change the bedding in their crats daily. If the pet's parents liked to have me take them on a route, they knew I would follow that, and I always follow the rules that the dog was brought up in as not to have bad habits with the parents come home. I know how to put on any harness and what to in emergencies. I love animals and get excited when I see one every time! I work remotely and can accommodate anything! I follow every schedule the babies have and I leave home as it was (or even more clean.) I also am very much understanding and will not go into any room with doors closed or anything without asking! I work from home and I am very responsible and consistent with my schedule! I am accommodating and follow ALL house rules and your babies are my first priority!
About: I’ve helped take care of and train dogs of various sorts and sizes since I can walk along with my dad. I’ve gotten my love for animals as a whole from him and it’s the perfect therapy and job. Having many dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and pet crabs throughout my life has helped me to have an extra sense of care, love, and attention for all animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available to play, train, and care for your lovable furry friend 7 days a week from 8am to 2pm and 9pm to 12am. I have a fenced front yard and backyard for your lovely pets to freely roam and play with me. I also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat (both females) whom are very loving, calm, and ecstatic to meet a new friend. A crate is available upon request as well.
About: I grew up in a house with dogs, and have been caring for them my entire life! I’ve had dogs as large as Great Danes or as small as chihuahuas. I’m comfortable caring for all sizes and ages of dogs, and can assist with supplemental training with simple commands such as learning to sit. I’m also happy to assist with any additional care needs such as light grooming, outdoor playtime, or administering oral medication. Monday-Friday I am available until noon for any morning pet care needs. I can assist on weekends or evenings after 9pm as needed- just ask and I am sure we can work something out! Since I am experienced with caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, I am always able to take a calm and unique approach to make sure your pets are comfortable and safe. I pay close attention to body language, and integrate your pet’s personality into my care to make sure they feel respected and stay safe. I love animals, so I always care for them with enthusiasm and make sure they know how much they are loved!
“My dogs took to William/were extremely at ease with him immediately - he has calming mojo 😉 He is very responsive, very punctual with his visits, and thorough with his visit reports .... and also is very conscientious and goes above and beyond - bringing in the mail and tidying up around the house if he sees something that needs attention! I would certainly recommend William to anyone needing someone to care for their furbabies!”
“This is the second time we've booked with Makenna, and I'm yet again a happy customer! She's done a house sitting and drop in visit with fantastic through updates. I feel relieved she's taking such great care of my dog and cat.”

“Tara was absolutely wonderful!! I booked her for a last minute trip and she was very quick to respond. We felt so at ease with her watching our pets! It is clear she loves animals and is very good with them! All the photos she shared showed a very happy puppy and very smitten kitties! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals of all ages and personalities! As a pet parent to a senior German Shepherd and four cats, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs, routines, and quirks. I have firsthand experience caring for senior pets, including those with arthritis, mobility challenges, and the need for a little extra patience and TLC. I also previously had a dog with epilepsy, so I’m very familiar with administering daily medications, maintaining consistent routines, and providing extra care for pets with medical needs. I’m also comfortable with energetic younger pets who need plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention! I’m patient, nurturing, dependable, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands! 🐾❤️ I work from home full-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week! As a pet parent myself, caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday routine. I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure my pets get plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away! As a pet parent to both dogs and cats, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own! Whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, giving medications when needed and discussed beforehand, keeping their space clean, or simply spending extra time giving them love and attention. I understand that every animal has their own personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also send plenty of pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northfield
Georgia was so amazing with our pups and with keeping us up to date on what was going on back home. She has phenomenal communication and great care for our two dogs. We had never booked through Rover before and she made our experience absolutely wonderful. We will 100% be rebooking her in the future.

Lynette is truly wonderful with my dog, Hannah. She cares for her with so much love and attention, and I always have complete peace of mind knowing Hannah is in her hands. Lynette spoils her like she is one of her own, and Hannah absolutely adores her. In fact, when I return from a trip, Hannah will sit by the door waiting for Lynette to come back! That says everything about the special bond they share. Lynette is the only sitter I trust and the only one I will book.

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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Northfield is $42 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,576 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Northfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
