“Yajing is sweet, professional, respectful and dependable. She always answers messages on the same day, usually within a few hours. My puppy Jade loves her!! We are very happy to have found Yajing!”

“Olivia was hired to let my pup out. She went above and beyond. My guy has some barking and nervous behaviors. I can't believe the positive impact she has had on Sammy. I highly recommend her. He went from disliking 98% of men, to taking a biscuit out of a man's hand! The barking has hugely improved. He gets all excited when I mention her name and dances around . Olivia is always on time, thoughtful, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and one of a kind. I highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed, neither will you fur baby/ babies.”
“Alex is very reliable and has exceptional communication skills. I definitely felt peace-of-mind relying on her to care for my cats while away. I would use her services again. Thanks Alex!!”

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other animals, and I have always loved taking care of them. My family, neighbors, and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pets over the years, whether it's for walks, check-ins, or overnights, and I would love to do the same for your pet. I'm a college student living back at home for the summer and have plenty of time during the week for quick check-ins and walks, and I will be able to stay overnight most weekdays and over the weekends. I am very comfortable around dogs and would have no problem going on walks, crating your dog, administering most medicine, or doing any other tasks that may be required.
“Amanda has been great with my dog Archie. He has some anxiety and reactivity and she’s handled it all so well. She’s always responded quickly and taken lots of photos during her visits which is so nice since I work out of town.”

About: I am a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner. I have experience providing care for all sorts of animals from dogs and cats to hawks and lizards! I have relatively open availability on week days and weekends. I am pretty flexible with timing since I work for myself. Let me know what you need and we can make it happen! I will need access to your home and instructions on the required care for each pet. I am happy to play with dogs in a fenced in yard, or take them on a leashed walk.
About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.
“Leah has been absolutely amazing taking care of my dog Otis while I recover from surgery. She is easy to communicate with, shows up on time with a smile, and most importantly clearly truly cares about Otis being happy and getting the care he needs. I am incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful and caring person to help take care of my pet.”

About: I have a life time of experience. I grew up helping my mom take care of peoples animals. Farm animals, birds, dogs, cats. A special skill of mine is training dogs. I currently work part time Monday-Friday, that gives me the ability to have a bunch of playtime on the weekends. I will also be available weekdays after 5:30 I have a small fenced in yard, and land to explorer weather your dog is off leash or on leash there is a place to play for everyone. I have crates incase your dog needs a break/nap. I also have baby gates to ensure everyone is safe in my care.

About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and energy levels, I bring a calm, confident, and knowledgeable approach to every pet I care for. From playful family pups to high-drive working and hunting dogs, I’ve trained, handled, and loved them all. My background includes obedience training, socialization, and behavior management, so I understand how to read a dog’s body language and respond to their needs with patience and precision. Whether your pup needs a structured walk, mental stimulation, or just a cozy companion while you're away, I tailor my care to fit their personality and routine. ✔️ Comfortable with large breeds, high-energy dogs, and special needs pets ✔️ Skilled in basic obedience and handling reactive behavior ✔️ Clean, respectful, and communicative—your home and pet are in great hands ✔️ Available for walks, drop-ins, overnights, and extended stays I treat every pet like family and strive to make your time away stress-free and positive for everyone. Let’s chat about how I can help you and your furry friend feel confident and comfortable—can’t wait to meet you both! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. Whether it’s morning walks, training sessions, feeding schedules, or playtime, caring for animals is built into my life. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve developed a rhythm that keeps pets happy, healthy, and calm while their owners are away. I treat each visit or stay as a top priority, making sure every dog gets the attention, structure, and love they’re used to at home. Whether I'm watching one pup or a few, I organize my day around their needs—early walks, midday check-ins, evening wind-downs, and plenty of time for belly rubs and fetch in between! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my goal is always the same: to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. In My Home: I keep a clean, pet-friendly space where animals can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any medication or special care instructions. I offer plenty of supervised outdoor time (in a secure area), mental stimulation, and downtime to keep pets balanced and stress-free. In Your Home: I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I make sure your pet gets the same love and structure they’re used to, whether that’s walks, playtime, meals, or snuggles on the couch. I’m tidy, trustworthy, and always communicate so you know how things are going while you're away. No matter where your pet is, I treat them like my own—with patience, kindness, and lots of tail wags.
“Olive was well taken care of in our absence and it was great to get pics so I could see how well she was doing 😊 We’re new to the area and finding Noreen has given us peace of mind for future trips knowing that we have someone local to rely on!”

“Erin is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly helpful for the two weeks we had her provide drop-in visits for. She communicated well. We loved the pictures and are so glad all three of our cats had such excellent care. She even took our garbage down to the street for trash day which was absolutely above and beyond. We came home to three well cuddled, well-fed, and happy kitties. We would absolutely use her services again in the future.”

“Yujie has been doing regular weekly drop-in visits for our two dogs, and he’s been amazing. He’s very attentive, communicative, and responds quickly. He’s truly gone above and beyond to care for my dogs while I’m working. My dogs, Arnold and Rico, absolutely love Yujie, and he always sends us great pictures during his visits. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they have a caring, reliable person spending time with them during the day—playing with them and giving them potty breaks. I would highly recommend Yujie for anyone looking for pet care!”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Northwood 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northwood. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
