“Gabrielle did a great job watching our little Buster for a week at our house. She fed him exactly as I showed her. Buster felt very comfortable with her and enjoyed all the attention she showed him. I enjoyed all the pictures and video she sent to us while we were gone.”
“Jake was a pleasure to work with—communicative, responsible, and highly respectful of our home and pets. We returned to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter.”
“Manisha did an excellent job dog sitting during Thanksgiving week when no one else could. We had full trust in her after our initial meeting. She’s very responsible and our two dogs were in excellent hands while we were away. We were very fortunate to find her. Scott W.”
“Aly stayed at our house with our 2 pups for a week and we are so appreciative! She took them to the dog park, went on walks and sent us pictures of their adventures. The house and the dogs were in great shape when we returned. We highly recommend Aly for any of your pet sitting needs!!”
“Megan and Lane were fantastic at watching our animals over the weekend! Megan sent updates and pictures and was always promptly responsive. 10/10 highly recommend her!”
About: I am a High School graduate looking to meet pets and make a few dollars while waiting to go off to college. I have worked at Chick-Fil-A for two years and have 7 furry friends of my own (your pets don’t have to meet mine if you don’t want them too!) so I know how pets of all kinds behave. Pet care for me can be any time pretty much because I recently quit my job and don’t have much happening until I go off for college. My house is fenced in, I keep careful eyes on pets, and will ensure your pet has the best times of their lives when they are with me. I guarantee it!
About: I’ve helped teach my dogs at home and love on older dogs. I volunteer at the shelter all the time. I have had animals ever since I was little. I have a part time job and can work this in however needed! Whether it’s stopping by or staying around, I am willing to work with you! No matter where I am, animals are constantly being loved and cared for by me. I will make sure they’re fed, cared for, walked, played with, and whatever else is needed.
About: Hi, I’m Madison! I’m a very experienced and reliable pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I foster dogs regularly from the local shelter, which has given me hands-on experience with different breeds, personalities, and special needs. I also participate in Metro’s dog happy hours, consistently taking dogs on walks and helping them build confidence and social skills. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attention, safety, and lots of love. 🐾💕 I currently babysit two little girls on weekday afternoons. I pick them up from the bus at 2:30 PM and care for them until 5:30 PM. During that time, I’m still able to do check-ins, drop-ins, walks, and care visits for pets if needed. I’m flexible, organized, and good at managing my time to make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. In my home, pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a large backyard with lots of room to roam, explore, and play safely. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, and lots of attention. I follow feeding schedules carefully and keep a close eye on behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routine and environment. I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and playtime to help them feel secure and stress-free. I also provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had dogs and cats most of my life. I have also had horses and rabbits. I can handle both big and small dogs. I have a dog named Penny. I work a regular full time job from 8-5. But I am available to check on pets in the evening and weekends. I love animals. I have a medium sized dog named Penny who lives in my apartment with me. I have had many pets over the years including dogs, cats, and horses .
“Ivey did an amazing job caring for my three dogs while I was away. Leaving three dogs with someone isn’t something I take lightly, but she made the entire experience easy and worry-free. She kept me updated with messages and photos throughout my trip, which gave me real peace of mind. It was obvious my dogs were well cared for, loved, and received plenty of attention. They were happy, relaxed, and comfortable when I returned home. Ivey was dependable, communicative, and genuinely cared about my dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Maurica is the best!! She took great care of our babies and was very communicative. She really cares about the animals she watches and is accommodating of requests. 100% would recommend!”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of my pets and home on short notice. She kept me updated with pictures and was very easy to communicate with. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“Samantha did a fantastic job keeping our lab while we were on a long vacation! She sent regular updates and pictures. She even stayed with him and kept him calm in the midst of a tornado warning! I would absolutely recommend her for all of your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi pet parents! My name is Becca, and I have been pet-sitting for 8 years. Throughout that experience, many pet parents of varying ages have entrusted me with their furry children. I adore caring for animals, as I have a sweet orange cat of my own! I promise that I will give the same care and love to your pet that I give to my own little one. I currently work part time, and I am usually off at the critical times when I would need to drop in to feed your pet! I am always able to adjust my schedule to fit the times you will need me, especially in advance. The biggest thing for me when caring for my pets as well as your pet is to prioritize quality time with them. In addition to food of course. I make sure to spend as much time with my pets as I can, as they definitely notice when you're not interested in spending time with them. "Most importantly, I will try my best to make sure your pet is comfortable and not stressed. Trust between myself and my clients and their pets is essential!
“She took great care of our two big dogs while we were out of town. She communicated with us the whole time, sent photos and answered questions. And the dogs loved her! Don’t hesitate to let Taylor watch your pets!”
“Reid was amazing from start to finish. He watched my baby girls for 6 days while I was away and they absolutely loved him. I would definitely recommend him. He sends photo updates and makes sure to text and communicate with you if and when needed. Will definitely be booking again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Northport is $40

We cannot say enough amazing things about Kyla! She recently pet sat for our dog, Bernadette, and she was hands-down one of the nicest, most genuine people we have ever met. From the very beginning, it was clear how much she truly cares about animals. She went above and beyond to make sure Bernadette was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. Kyla kept us completely at ease by sending regular updates and the sweetest pictures, which we absolutely looked forward to receiving. Her communication was flawless, her energy was incredibly warm, and she gave us total peace of mind while we were away. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own family, Kyla is the one. We will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you, Kyla!
Savannah is amazing! Our dog, Willy, was genuinely bummed when we got home and Savannah had to leave lol. She played with him a lot, sent us many great photos, and gave him tons of fun and attention. He was a very happy dog and slept like a rock that night. We’re definitely rebooking with her next time we’re in town. Thanks, Savannah!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Northport on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 141 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Northport. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Northport walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Northport maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Northport 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
