“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 :)”
“Lillie is the best! We can always relax when we're away, knowing our sweet pup Flora is getting the best possible care. Lillie checks in daily with an update and photo, which always reassures us that things are going well. We feel so lucky to have found them through Rover!”
“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!”
“Michelle is wonderful with our 2 dogs. She sends frequent messages and some pictures to let us know how they are doing, which we appreciate. It gives us peace of mind while we are away from our babies.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was little, and caring for them has always been more than just a job—it’s something I truly love. I’ve worked with countless animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and special needs. I’ve also worked as a dog bather at PetSmart, where I learned proper grooming techniques, handling skills, and how to recognize signs that a pet may need extra attention or care. In addition to Rover, I also provide pet care through Wag!, so I’m experienced with daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or a senior needing a little extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same love, kindness, and respect that I give my own animals. When your pet is with me, you can expect reliable communication, plenty of updates and photos, and the peace of mind that they’re in caring, experienced hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work remote so I am always available! I love my home, and sharing it with others. I live in a beautiful neighborhood. I have a lot of free time at the moment. I make sure everything is followed correctly for what you and your pets needs require. I also am a very honest and kind person who won’t let you down! I prioritize safety and instruction.
“Matt was an excellent sitter for us. Took good care of our dog and kept us informed. Left the house clean and in good order. Even agreed to provide airport transportation. Would not hesitate to use Matt again.”
“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.”
“Isabel was excellent! She took great care of our dog, and provided regular updates and photos of their time together. It felt like we hadn’t left. Would definitely rebook and highly recommend!”
About: With 12 years of experience, I provide daily dog care for all ages, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication routines, and house sitting. I grew up with a dog and volunteered at a humane society supporting daily checkups and adoptions. From Monday to Friday I am available to care for a dog or cat after 5:30pm On Saturday and Sunday I am available from 9am to 8pm I treat every pet as if they were my own. I focus on safety, consistency, and comfort by following routines, maintaining a clean environment, and giving lots of attention. I respect your homes, provide regular updates, and make sure pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
“Yvonne (Vonnie) did an excellent job of dog sitting. Vonnie was wonderful with my dog who can be a little shy/anxious and slow to warm up to new people. I got update videos and pictures consistently every day. My space was also kept nice and clean, which I so appreciated. I will definitely be booking with Vonnie again.”
“This is the second time we have had Jenny stay with Otis in our home. She was quick to respond, provided updates on his activities and sent pictures on a regular basis. She offered to stay late when our flight was delayed and left the house neat and clean. I would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you so much Jenny!”
“Kevin is a very kind, gentle person and an outstanding communicator who worked with our nervous, elderly dogs to win their trust and their affection. He kept us very well informed with updates & photos and left the house in top-notch condition. He understands & is very comfortable with dogs, and we would not hesitate to call on him the next time we travel. Highly recommended!”
“Cindy was great with my fur babies. She took good care of them. My one is especially needy bulldog. I spoiled him so he is definitely lots of care. I also have a German Shepard that is still young. She left my home clean and tidy as it was. I was extremely happy.”
“Sarah was very trustworthy and communicative. She took good care of our home and our doggies. It is hard trusting strangers to be in your home, but Sarah proved to be very honest and she will always be welcomed back.”
About: I’ve been doing overnight dog sitting for 7 years, I have many reoccurring parents reach out to me! I am a student getting my masters who loves to go on walks! I have quite the busy schedule but I prioritize the pets as much as possible! When I’m not at school I’m always sitting around with the pets so they aren’t alone and stay as much at the house as I can! I care for the pets just like I would if they are mine, I always find time to make sure they are not left alone for an extended people of time and they always love me!
“Domonique is outstanding! She was willing to come to our house for a meet up and our usually nervous dog loved her right away. She was very responsive and wanted to learn how she could be the best sitter for our dog.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Northview is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northview
We always have such a great experience with Jennifer! Boone is happy and well cared for every time, and we come home to a house that looks exactly as we left it. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in good hands while we’re away. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and reliability, there’s no one better than Jennifer! Highly recommend!
We truly could not have asked for a better dog sitter! We were away for 12 days for our destination wedding, and leaving our 11 yer old girl for that long was something we were really nervous about since we had never been away from her for that much time. But he made the entire experience so much easier for us. He was incredibly reliable and sent us so many pictures, videos, and updates throughout our trip. It was such a relief knowing Ana was happy, loved, and being so well taken care of while we were away. What meant the most to us was how much he genuinely cared for her. It never felt like he was just there to watch our dog. He really took the time to make sure she was comfortable, happy, and getting all the love and attention she’s used to. And coming home to the cleanest house and the happiest pup after 12 days away was the best feeling! We are so grateful we found him and can’t recommend him enough. Having someone you trust with your home is one thing, but knowing your dog is being loved and cared for the way you would care for them yourself is everything. We would book him again in a heartbeat!
Ivana was wonderful! This was a last minute booking and having a two year old dog and 10 week old puppy, I was nervous about leaving. Communication was great through out the whole process. My house was neat and orderly when I returned and the pups were happy. I will definitely use Ivana again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Northview is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 per night.

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 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.
