“Stephanie was beyond amazing -- every day she was on-time or early, spent tons of time loving my kitties, and went out of her way to clean even when not asked to so that when we came home from a long trip, it wouldn't be stressful. Will be rebooking with her asap, she made traveling so easy for us.”
“Abbi did a really great job with our cats. We had never used a pet sitter before and were really nervous about it, but she kept us informed and was available for off time contacts. We will definitely use her again.”
“Emily was fantastic with Ginny! Great communication from start to finish, and she went above and beyond handling an unexpected issue while we were away, didn’t even have to ask. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Would absolutely book again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 25 years and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and treat every home and pet with respect. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pets are doing. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can work around your pet’s routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I also have a fenced-in yard for safe, supervised outdoor time if needed for dogs. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes or potty breaks are handled, and your pet gets attention based on their personality. I follow all care instructions closely, keep your home secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Thank you Dylan 🙏! You don’t know how much you helped, last minute booking going on a week trip! He was able to stop by and care for my bearded dragon reptile!! My dragon is as happy as can be!! I recommend Dylan!! If you need a pet sitter 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“Autumn was truly the best!! I can’t thank her enough. It’s never easy leaving your fur babies at home while your away but Autumn put my mind at ease. She was very reliable, quick to respond, and treated my pets like they were her own. We would be happy to have her again💛🐾🐶🐱”
“Vivien was fantastic and put all my worries at ease. We usually ask a friend or family member to watch our pets, but when our only arrangement fell through, I was scrambling. I’d never had experience with a pet sitter, so I was very anxious. When I saw Vivien’s profile with over 300 reviews, I thought “why not”. Now I understand why there are so many. Vivien was just what we needed and treated our babies like her own. Her communication is great and her attentiveness is calming. Thank you, again, Vivien. Scooby, Marshall, Vienna, and even Malcolm can’t wait to see you again 🤩”
“Rachel is wonderful taking care about our cats, she is great with them and also leaving the cat litter box area clean. Desmond and Bolica are super happy to get she as cat sitter, we have repeated with her and we continue to do it.”
“Abbey did an excellent job taking care of my two cats during my 9-day trip. She communicated with me every day she visited, providing updates, photos, and detailed descriptions of how each visit went, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. One thing that really stood out was her patience with my very shy calico cat. By the end of the stay, my calico had come out of her shell enough to let Abbey pet her, which is something I never expected. I highly recommend Abbey to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Even though Evie had a family emergency, she still went over and took care of our cat. We appreciate her dedication! We will use her again when we travel.”
“Margaret and Travis were absolutely incredible cat sitters! We were able to enjoy our vacation with zero worries thanks to their reliability, constant communication, and photos and videos they sent us. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and happy — we could tell our babies were in the best hands. We will 100% be booking with them again and highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
“Celene was an absolute life saver. My dog sitter cancelled a few days before my vacation and I was very worried about not just finding someone, but someone that my dogs would enjoy being with. As soon as I met her and my dogs welcomed her I could tell they were in good hands. She was very informative with her 3 visits a day and sent pictures as well as updated if something seemed off with them or if they were extra happy to see her. I truly appreciate her more than words can explain and I’m so deeply grateful that my fur babies were well taken care of and appreciated. Thank you again Celene.”
“Hannah was great! This was my first time using rover and she helped walk me through it. Leaving your home and your dog with a stranger is definitely an intimidating thing, but with all of Hannah’s communication I felt confident that it would could go well. I would recommend her to anyone! She was so nice and my dog Aussie seemed to have an amazing time.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Northwood on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 579 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Northwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
