“Deborah was fantastic! She watched my 10 year old rescue lab mix for a week, who required daily meds and lots of attention. She made adjustments to make sure she kept up with regular meds and eating. She also provided frequent updates and pictures! ❤️ Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic. Would highly recommend. Communicated the whole weekend, dogs were a gem to come home to; not overly upset that we left them, and almost sad to see us and not Julie :)”
About: I'm a new grad nurse (starting first job in the fall) and happen to love pets! I am no stranger to giving meds, timely bathroom breaks, or caring for large dogs (my aunt has Rhodesian Ridgebacks). If your pet likes to go outside I'll probably want to go outdoors more than them so they can expect lots of walks! I am very available to spend time with your pets and more than willing to go for a walk or play with them. I work part-time and have a knack for always showing up on time :) I can balance care and attention for your pet while respecting rules like no dogs on the furniture! I can easily crate dogs if need be and will always make sure they are well taken care of.
“Hanna did a great job with our puppy! He was four months and needed a lot of extra love and care and she was willing to do it all! She sent lots of pictures and followed all the instructions we left for her. She communicated quickly and always responded within a few minutes. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Fantastic as always- we added a puppy into the mix so Caroline stayed at our home and was wonderful with our dogs! The puppy LOVED and bonded with her dog Gator. Will def book with Caroline again”
“Bethany was helpful and caring. She was willing to come Meet before watching our dog. She also listened and gave him his medicine at the exact times needed. She communicated each time his medicine was given which kept my worry down.”
“Jessica was a pleasure to work with. Reliable, friendly, and clearly has a love and connection to animals. She was engaged prior to our stay, asking questions about our pet's feeding schedule and play needs, as well as confirming details of our trip. While she was pet-sitting, we received absolutely adorable pictures and messages everyday about our cat, Betty. Jessica is a wonderful pet-sitter and also a kind, generous person. I highly recommend Jessica, and our family is grateful we found her.”
“Tayler was very responsible and took great care of our two dogs. She was responsive and easy to work with too. The dogs really enjoyed their time with Tayler. I would highly recommend her as a dog/house sitter”
“Amanda was great! She was dependable and reliable. She communicated every day with plenty of pic’s. She was all about time with the girls and snuggles. I could see how happy they were with her. She gave me peace of mind to be away on a work trip.”
“Jack stayed at our apartment with our 3 cats while we were away. Our cats have a very odd and complicated routine and Jack did a great job keeping up with it! He was very communicative and took great care out of cats.”

Deborah is fantastic! She took awesome care of my fur babies and left my home better than she found it. Deborah communicated with me consistently and provided pics and updates during the entire process. We highly recommend Deborah! Thank you so much for your wonderful care of all of us! 🐾🐾💕
We were gone for 11 days and felt completely at ease knowing our dog and home were in such great hands. Jenny was incredibly flexible, we had an early morning departure and then a delayed return flight, and she didn’t hesitate to accommodate both, which made travel so much less stressful. When we returned, our dog was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Our house was spotless, honestly, it looked like no one had even been there. What really stood out was Jenny’s attentiveness. She quickly noticed when our dog started having GI issues and immediately reached out. After we spoke with our vet, she went and picked up the medication for him without hesitation. That level of care and initiative meant so much to us, especially while we were out of town. We would absolutely recommend Jenny, though part of us wants to keep her all to ourselves! 😊
We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. Ivana truly went above and beyond for our two Great Danes, and that is no small task. Our older girl can be stubborn and sometimes fearful of new people, but from the very beginning she showed incredible patience, understanding, and kindness. Ivana took the time to earn her trust and made her feel safe and comfortable, which meant everything to us. At the same time, Ivana handled our huge almost 200 lb great dane boy with ease and lots of love, giving him the attention and care he thrives on. It was clear throughout that Ivana genuinely cares about dogs and treats them like her own! Communication was excellent, we felt completely at ease while we were away!!! We would 100% recommend Ivana to anyone — especially those with large dogs or dogs that need a little extra patience and compassion.
Lillian was quick to respond and set up a meeting and greet with us prior to our weekend getaway. She asked great questions and took notes regarding the care of our senior Min Pin, Alex. She kept everything in our home very clean and sent many pictures of the adventures she and Alex had together over the weekend. Our dog was very relaxed when we came home and we think he misses Lillian already! Do not hesitate to book with Lillian.

FAQs for House Sitting - Northview
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Northview on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 956 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Northview. 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 Northview 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 Northview 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 Northview 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.

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.
