“Robin is the best! Since recently moving to South Carolina we had no family around to hangout with our girls while we took a day trip. She gave me such a peace of mind that my girls were being watched and loved on while we were gone.”
“Thank you for taking care of our kitties. Thank you for sending pictures of them interacting with you knowing that they had some attention made them happy. Thank you for doing a great job.”
About: Please reach out to discuss rates! I’ve been an animal lover since I’d first discovered them as a young child, it never mattered the type or size, I’ve always been drawn to them. I grew up in the PNW where I spent many years in 4-H, showing horses and participating in our local county fair. Last year we took the leap and moved to South Carolina with our 2 senior dogs, 4 cats, and bearded dragon, and have been loving how beautiful it is. Since our move, we have acquired 3 more cats that were picked up as strays, bringing our total to a whopping 7 cats! I truly wouldn’t have it any other way. We also currently have a senior, blind, diabetic foster dog! I have experience with all sizes, breeds, and energy levels of dogs, as well as behavioral issues. One of senior dogs struggles with reactivity while on leash, and I make it a point to make sure he is always comfortable and safe while out. I also specialize in pets with special needs who may require a little extra attention and care. One of the kittens we took in is completely blind, amongst other things, and had required daily medication at times. She also suffers from behavioral issues which is why I’m so adamant on being patient with animals. They are learning every day, just as we are. If given the opportunity, I promise to treat your animals as I do my own, with love and grace. I’ve been blessed enough to have a very open schedule and can pretty much fit any time a pet may need into my day. Whether it be weekdays or weekends, I’m flexible and have reliable transportation. The safety and comfort of your pets are my top priority and I plan to treat them the way I treat my own. I’m very mindful of securing doors and fences to insure your babies are safe and secure where they are supposed to be. I speak to all animals the way I would speak to a friend because I believe, while they may not be able to understand all the words, they can understand tone and intention.
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for 5 years and I have dog walked consistently for multiple clients for years at a time. Have experience in training many puppies as well! I am also currently in dog grooming school, so I’m very experienced handling many different breeds and ages I am currently in dog grooming school from 8am-1pm Monday-Friday. Open availability outside of those times. My life revolves around grooming dogs, taking care of my own and now others too! I have a fenced yard with 4 friendly dogs who spend some time there but also inside. We love to play fetch work on training and tricks! Luckily none of my animals are on any daily medications but I have had to give medicine in the past so I am experienced if needed!
“I can always count on Virginia when it comes to helping out and taking care of Nexus! The pictures and videos I received while I was away made my heart feel so much better. Nexus loves spending time with Virginia and I know she is in great hands! Definitely will rebook when needed!! 10/10!!”
“Hannah was awesome with our cat Gracie. I would highly recommend her and would not hesitate to book her services again. It was nice to be on vacation and know that Gracie was being cared for. Thanks Hannah!”
About: I have had pets most of my life including dogs, cats, hamsters, and chickens. I look forward to meeting all the four footed friends you love! I am a college student who has a lot of free time. I would love to spend my free time with pets. I am normally free except for a few hours during the middle of the day. I hope to provide the safest and most loving environment for the pets. I have had to repair fences and chase dogs that have escaped. I do not mind doing either because people have done that for me.
About: Future veterinary student, I have a large range of animals I know how to take care of. I’ve done lots of fostering, and have gotten great results from anyone whose animal I’ve taken care of. I own my own nail business, so my schedule I’m able to set myself for flexibility already. When I’m home I’m constantly taking care of my animals, so having others to take care of works perfect for my lifestyle. In my home your animal, I will still maintain your animals by your rules, as far as feeding and bathroom schedules, and general house rules. In your home I will provide every amount of care that you ask of me to your animal.
About: My family is a big dog family with two Great Danes I’m used to big more heavy set animals so I do not scare easy. I have a work from home job so I am well fit to give around the clock potty breaks and walks whenever it is needed. We have multiple cats in our household so I am used to regular feedings, treats, playtime and providing all the attention your pet may need!
About: Hi, I’m Haley! I live in Anderson, SC, and I work remotely as an insurance agent. When I’m not at my desk, I’m usually with my 15-year-old daughter. We’re on this pet care adventure together. She’s in high school, absolutely obsessed with animals, and has the biggest heart, and will always be under my direct supervision. I’ve been around pets for nearly three decades, and she’s grown up with them from the start. Between the two of us, your pets get plenty of love, attention, and care. In addition to drop-ins and walks, I also welcome dogs into our home for boarding and daycare. I make sure their stay is calm, comfortable, and closely aligned with the routine they’re used to. It’s important to me that every dog feels safe and settled while they’re here. We do have two friendly dogs at home who are used to sharing their space. I always introduce new pets slowly and with care to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available any day for drop-in visits or dog walks. I usually prefer a little notice to plan ahead, but I’m open to last-minute requests when I can make it work. When pets stay with us, they’re in a calm, quiet home with plenty of attention and supervision. I introduce new dogs slowly and make sure everyone feels safe before sharing space. For in-home visits, I always follow your instructions exactly; meals, meds, gates, anything you need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always respect your home and your rules.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats through drop-in visits. During each visit I make sure pets have fresh food and water, let dogs out for the bathroom, and play so they feel comfortable while their owners are away! I have lots of free time in my mornings and evenings and have loved being able to pet sit for families in my church so I thought it would be a fun way to fill my time! I have followed well what instructions I am given based off of each pet I have watched! I love to make sure your pets are feeling well taken care of and comfortable while the people they love the most are away!
About: I am very attentive and punctual! I love all animals and enjoy both an active time or a chill day! I love going on walks, playing catch, and snuggling! I am available pretty much any weekday after 2:00 pm except for Mondays! I am willing to watch animals for an hour-overnight stays! I promise they will be in great hands! I take pride in my attention to their little personalities and their needs! I can also be flexible with anything the family requests! Your pets happiness is my priority
“Tatum was amazing with drop-in visits for our 2 dogs. She spent plenty of time with them and made sure they were cared for exactly how I'd asked. We will definitely be asking her to help with them again!”
“It was such a pleasure meeting Stacie, and getting to know her a little, along with hearing about her own love of animals! I so appreciated the photos she sent since my two cats are new to each other and she was totally thorough in caring for them!”
“Erine did a great job assuring me with timeliness, clear communication, plenty of photos and videos. I was extremely happy to have someone take good care of my dog and make sure that she received plenty of activity. Very responsive with flexible time schedules. I would definitely be booking with this sitter in the future. Highly recommended.”
About: I grew up around cats and dogs and have cared for them my whole life. I enjoy going on long walks and playing with cats until they get tired of chasing a feather on a string. I am currently a graduate student so my schedule is very flexible and can work around what your needs are. Anytime you need me to stop by I can try my hardest to be available. I am willing to do whatever your pets want to do that day! I can take them on walks, spend a day at the dog park, or just give them the attention they deserve!

Cathy and Keith are the absolute best in every regard! I have a very old and opinionated jack Russell mix and an overly exuberant pit bull mix and this was my first time using rover. Cathy and Keith were excellent with my dogs. Lots of attention to detail and very caring and nice people. I cant leave them a high enough rating!!! Thank you so much. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Northlake is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $34 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 1,287 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Northlake. 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.
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 Northlake. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
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.
