We couldn’t be more grateful for Ivana. We have one dog that is very particular and fearful of new people, and another that is a big goof. The combo of them makes for quite the time but Ivana was up for the challenge. I appreciate how she takes time to learn the details of the dogs, provides great updates, and is just an overall compassionate wonderful person. It has been a sigh of relief while we’re away to know she’s keeping them safe and cared for. :)

Ricardo did an excellent job with my two boys. While one is older with a grumpy attitude and the other is skittish, Ricardo did an awesome job trying to coax them out of their shell. I will absolutely consider rebooking with Ricardo in the future.

Kelsey and Forrest were wonderful with our senior dog! They were incredibly patient, kind, and understanding of his special needs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They kept us updated with great communication throughout the stay, and it was clear that our dog was well cared for and loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Kelsey and Forrest to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet sitters!

We booked Soly last-minute to watch our pup over a long-weekend after our usual sitters weren't available. Soly was very quick to respond to our messages and thorough in his replies. He came to our meet-and-greet ready with questions so that he would be fully prepared for his time in our home with Tuuli. He was very thorough and curteous. We got regular updates with photos and came home to a happy dog and clean house. He even left a little thank you note and treat for Tuuli! We would happily have him house sit again.

Allison did a great job taking care of my dogs and cats!! She sent plenty of great photos to us, I could see that the dogs loved her. There were pictures of the cats cuddling with her as well :). I also really appreciated the after summary she wrote and left on the table for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants great care of their pets!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I love dogs so much that I volunteer at our local shelters. Recently moved back to the NE side of GR. Available weekends too! I work full time indoors, weekdays. Walking dogs will get me up and moving weekend mornings. I’d like the accountability and fresh air… retiring soon and may want to this more. I have small and large crates and tons of pet cushions, dog bowls, and treats. I’ve had pets my whole life and they are like family members to me.

Lillie stayed with my two dogs in our home for 10 days . She came over to meet them and again right before we left . Her communication prior to us leaving and while we were gone ,was awesome. She also accommodated big changes to our plans . The dogs did great and she sent pictures which made me happy ! This is my first experience with Rover and leaving someone I had just met with "my kids". Lillie did a great job. I would recommend her and will use her again .

About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.

About: I've had cats my whole life, so I'm used to the day to day of caring for an animal and noticing when something's off. I've also dog sat for my aunt a handful of times: feeding, walks, letting them out, and keeping them company. I'm reliable and I actually pay attention. I'll follow whatever routine your pet is already used to instead of forcing my own, and I'll send updates so you're not left wondering how they're doing while you're away. My schedule is flexible right now, so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins, including weekdays. I'm happy to work around whatever your pet's routine already is rather than making them fit mine, and I can be reliable about timing. For visits and house sitting, I follow whatever routine you already have. You tell me the feeding, walks, and any quirks, and I stick to it exactly instead of improvising. I'll make sure doors and gates stay shut, keep an eye on how your pet is doing, and message you if anything seems off. I have a cat of my own at home, so I'm used to keeping an animal safe, fed, and on a schedule.

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 $42.18 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 913 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northview. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
