About: I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up we have always had 2 or more dogs in the house. I have also taken care of tons of other family members and friends dogs while they are away. I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days! I typically work from 10 AM to 2 PM, Monday through Friday, but outside of those hours I am free for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I’m also available in the early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can be flexible to meet your needs! I have a puppy of my own who is very friendly. I take her out around every 4 to 6 hours. Can easily crate dog if needed.
About: I love all of the pets!! My Husband and I have three cats and one small dog at our house and a fenced in backyard. My best friend is a vet so she gives me all the advice and tips on dogs and cats! I can cater to anything you prefer, if you have very high maintenance or chill pets. My dog gets along with other dogs but we can seperate her to a different part of the house with a dog gate if needed! Drop by care is fine or if you’re going on a trip, we would love to have your pup stay with us. They are in greaf hands, lots of backyard play and will be very spoiled! Can’t wait to meet your little guys!! Im home a lot so I have much time to care for the animals here! We have a big back yard and I love going outside with them for exercise! Whatever your care preferences are, we try to accommodate to that! Just communicate with me what your expectations are, we want your dog to have consistency.
About: i've been taking care of fur babies since i was young. Anytime, neighbors, family, and friends needed help caring for their pets, I was there! I will care for your babies as if they're my own. Pet Sitting/Care is currently my full-time job. I'm always accepting new house sits and drops ins, l make sure to update my calendar every couple of days. I do like to do meet & greets before any new sits/drop ins, even if it's just a quick video chat. I don't currently offer boarding services but If i did, I would make sure to your pet is as comfortable as possible in my home. In clients homes, I will play with your pets, and take them on as many walks as needed for them to burn off energy. I will feed on time and keep your pets schedule as normal as possible.
About: I have taken care of kittens to senior cats. I also own 3 cats. Drop in visits are offered for your fur baby in your home. I used to breed eskimo spitz dogs for many years. I am retired so my schedule is open seven days per week except when I travel. I will run errands mid-day and provide visits before and after that time. In the clients home, I will follow instructions after visiting in advance of the sitting date with you to understand your cat’s routine. Drop in visits only.

“Lauryn was amazing with my cat, Pickles! She not only fed, watered, and scooped her litter but she made sure that Pickles had lots of love, playtime and attention. She also sent updates and pictures so I knew how Pickles was doing. I will certainly book Lauryn for future visits!”

“Jackson is one of the most excellent sitters in the area. He is super communicative, accommodating of last minute changes, timely, and most importantly, gentle and kind with our Cléo. We had a big chaotic event going on that pulled our attention and focus elsewhere, and we felt very confident and reassured leaving Cléo with him because of his ability to adapt and problem solve if needed while we would be managing other things. Thank you for your grace and patience Jackson!! Cléo and our family appreciate you greatly! 🥰”


About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and have experience with dog walking and everyday pet care. I also have experience administering nightly oral medication to my sisters Rottweilers and understand the importance of following a consistent routine and paying close attention to a pet’s needs. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule that can often be adjusted to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’m committed to being reliable and making sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I enjoy spending time with animals and will give them the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. I always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In my home, I have two friendly cats who can either be kept separate in their own room or, if your cat is social and enjoys company, they would love to play and interact. I do not allow cats outside, so they will always be kept safely indoors. For dogs, we have a securely fenced yard for supervised play and exercise, along with plenty of attention, walks, and cuddle time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions to help their pet feel relaxed and at home.

About: Over 20 years of my life I have had and cared for dogs among other animals. My husband and I love dogs and will give everyone lots of love and attention. We will get at least 1 walk per day. We will follow all instructions you provide along with sending you photo updates on how they are doing. I have had experience administering medication orally and injection. And, if they don't have skin allergies, I'll even give them a bath before they go home if they got messy while playing :). I am currently a stay at home mom for our children (10yo, 5yo, 4yo, 2yo and infant). So please allow our family to give you some piece of mind while you take a vacation at Christmas and other times during the year. Cheers! I am a stay-at-home mom of 5 young children who loves dogs. We are at home a lot of the time and can provide each animal with love and attention. We have a fully fenced in yard. In the summer if it gets super hot the majority of the playtime is indoors. We also love playing outside with the dogs weather permitting. We separate dogs for feeding and if we see any issues. They all get crated if we leave unless they are used to being out.
“Hannah made me feel so safe leaving our puppies during a really hard time in our lives. We were in the process of moving but had to be at a wedding. Our dogs were freaked out about the total lack of anything in our house & then their parents left of top of that??? Hannah swooped in and ensured that with each visit she sent incredibly detailed information about their activities, what she did to take care of them & at least 4 pictures :) what a relief. I could not recommend Hannah highly enough. 5 stars seems too few ❤️”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. At one point we had 6 dogs in the house growing up. When I was 11 I began working at a local puppy shop called Diamonds and Doggies. We cared for all the puppies which included feeding/bathing/playing with each of them. I currently own an XL Bully who weighs 115 lbs of pure muscle. I was apart of an organization on campus at the university of Miami known as UPurr. We took sick and injured cats from around campus to foster them and help them recover. I’m currently working part time as a waitress at a nearby restaurant. I’ll have plenty of time to fit your pets into my schedule as I have no other commitments. I’m a very patient and loving pet owner. Depending on your pets needs, I will make sure they have the best time with me as well as get their exercise, play-time, treats, medicine (if applicable) and lots and lots of love. I know how scary it is to leave your fur babies with a stranger, but I will make it the best pet-sitter experience you’ve ever had!
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my dog. I truly appreciate the love, attention, and constant updates. You went above and beyond, and I’m very grateful for the extra help you gave us. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend you.”

About: Animal lover with 10+ years of fostering experience for dogs and cats of all ages. I'm skilled in senior animal care and medication administration. With 5 dogs and 10 cats of my own, I bring a deeply caring approach to every pet. My schedule is wide open and very flexible, so I'm available daily to help with your pets! I have open availability and have flexible working hours. I would more than love to ensure your pets are taken care of and loved on! Safety and comfortably are essential to me as a pet sitter and animal lover. I understand that with those a pet can truly be comfortable in the care of another.
“My cats were automatically happy to see Grace! She took AMAZING pictures of them during the visit, and her report card gave me peace of mind knowing they were taken care of. Thank you so much, Grace!!”

“Kathrine was outstanding, so calming and kind. Hank was well cared for and comfortable while we were gone. She communicated well. So thankful I found Kathrine! I highly recommend her!”

“Jordan took exceptional care of my cats, Sage and Oliver. She followed every instruction I left with great attention to detail and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Her communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful, which gave me real peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Sage and Oliver again.”

We had such a wonderful experience! Dillon took care of our dogs for 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. From the start, communication was great and he kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs looked so happy and comfortable when we got back. He followed all of our instructions and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!

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 Northlake 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.
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 Northlake 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 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 Northlake with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
