“Richard did a wonderful job on the drop-in visits. He proved himself to be a real neighbor, spending time with my senior dogs and making sure they eat their meals. When thunderstorms came through, knowing how jittery they get, he made sure they were safe and in the house until the storms blew through. Thank you, Richard! You helped out in so many ways, all the reviews I’ve read about you were all true! Looking forward to letting you take care of my girls the next time!”
About: I've spent a lot of my life taking care of animals, particularly cats. I have a Zoology degree and experience with developing commands and various training exercises as well as handling proper food intake and oral medicine intake. I am available every day, most of the day! It will vary per-day but as long as I have a two-day notice I should absolutely be available! I will be vigilant with your pets, making sure that they get enough attention and do not get into anything that they shouldn't. If there are any specific rules that you have in your home or for your pet I will make sure to follow them to ensure a safe and happy experience for your animals!
About: I’m a very loving person and have a big heart for animals. I’ll always follow any instructions you leave to make sure your pet gets the best care possible, whether that means giving medication at a specific time, sticking to a certain walking schedule, or changing the litter box daily. Other than that, your pet can expect plenty of cuddles, on-time meals, lots of love, and most importantly, an excessive amount of pictures and updates! 🐾❤️ I’m currently spending most of my days at home, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available to take your dogs on long walks in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My son has basketball practice from 3:30–5:30 PM, but aside from that, I’m usually home and have plenty of time to give your pups lots of attention, exercise, and love! I am attentive and aware of my surroundings at all times. I will keep a watchful eye on your pet, and only let them off a leash when appropriate (at a dog park, etc.). You are welcome to call/face time me at any time when I am with your pet.
“Jessica was great with my two kitties! It’s obvious she loves animals. Even though I was kind of out of cell service for most of my trip, it was great to get the updates and pictures and videos of my babies and know that they were in good hands.”
“Scarlet is a cat whisperer! Our cats are normally very shy and hide in closets for extended periods when visitors come by. Scarlet had them out and literally eating from her hand in just a day or two. They looked quite content with her as a sitter. Definitely recommend!”

About: Hi! I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds—including those with specialized care plans involving medications, wound care, and senior needs. I live in Laramie primarily but am from Cheyenne so I care for pets in both cities. I raised my own dog into her senior years and managed all aspects of her health up until she passed. I have always felt more whole surrounded by pets and this has carried after losing my own. I've cared for both solo dogs, pairs and groups and while I have more experience with dogs, I’ve lived with and cared for cats too—and I’m always eager to learn more about them. I prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety and provide consistent updates so you’re always in the loop with their care! In Laramie primarily but in Cheyenne 7 am - 3 pm Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays! Services available in both Cities. I am a flexible individual and appreciate open ended communication in regards to your needs as a pet parent and what your pet needs. If their are special considerations for your pet all I ask is that we are clear about them so I can adequatly plan to care for them in a way that meets and EXCEEDS your expectations. I tend to keep everything clean and tidy! I want your pet to feel as if they are not at home with a stranger and rather a friend. Depending on where your pet likes to sleep and hang out is where I will stay unless they like their own space! Regardless, I like to take care of any space as if it is my own and love to take pictures of pets enjoying themselves to share with you.
About: I have grown up around animals from horses and chickens to dogs and cats! I have a 7 year old Australian Shepard of my own! I am very active myself so I will provide good exercise for your animals! I have experience with all ages of dogs, from puppies to senior pets. I would love to provide walking services or drop by to show your animals some love! I have great communication and will provide lots of pictures throughout our play date! I am currently in between employments as a physician assistant as I recently relocated to the area. I am very flexible and available most days! I am able to provide drop in visits for daily walks, play time, activities, feeding or general TLC for your pets! I prefer to care for pets in your home for the comfort and safety of the animal(s)!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Norfolk is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,712 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Norfolk. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Norfolk. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
