“Katy and her family did a spectacular job caring for my dog while we were away. I appreciated Katy’s communication and flexibility. Her home was well-equipped to provide my dog with a great stay. Photo and videos showed my dog feeling comfortable and relaxed in this new environment. I’ll definitely be booking with Katy again!”
“Alexandra and Joseph were wonderful. They were so kind and thoughtful to Teddy and Rosie. They always answered our texts right away and sent wonderful pictures of Teddy and Rosie. We felt they did such a great job taking care of Teddy and Rosie and we feel so lucky to have found Alexandra ad Jospeh to watch our dogs.”
“Dennis took great care of my two dogs. They obviously had a wonderful time playing, going on nice walks, and being welcomed to his family: his daughters were superb with my pups as well. In addition, Dennis was also very proactive in getting in touch with me and easy to communicate. Excellent care and experience!”
“Heather was a great sitter for our dog Sasha. She was very accommodating for our drop off and pick up and felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with her for a long weekend. We would love to use Heather again in the future.”
“Simply amazing! We were nervous about having our 17 week old puppy stay overnight, but Kira was nothing short of incredible in making our little Izzy feel right at home (and with assuring us she was getting the best of care while we were away)!”
“My pups had a great stay with Julie! They were allowed to have all of the comforts of home (laying on the couch, lots of human snuggles and kisses). I loved that I received frequent updates with pictures of the pups! I will definitely book with Julie again!”
“Lyndsey and Evan took amazing care of Sandy. They made me extremely comfortable that they would treat her like their own and make sure she was not Only very safe but extremely happy. It is a huge relief knowing I can be at work or out of town and know my dog is happy. We will be using them on a regular basis.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better place for Frankie to be while we were away.A fenced in back yard where she could run and play with other dogs.The pictures they sent gave us a great feeling while we away and missing her.Our nephew just got a puppy and we told him we would highly recommend Ben and Sarah.”
“John and Sharon were great when watching my chihuahua ruby. Ruby is nervous around new people and takes some time to warm up and they were very patient with her, and even got her to feel comfortable enough for some playtime - which I consider quite the success over the course of only a day! I’m sure ruby will be back to visit again soon.”
“Our 10 month old golden retriever had a great time staying with Dina. She was able to accommodate us last minute. She was wonderful with him! Her communication was much appreciated during our time away. We will 100% be using Dina in the near future.”
“Julie was the perfect sitter! Providing us with frequent updates of our sweet Okie, giving Okie all the love and attention she needed & being so accommodating to our drop off/pick up schedule. I could tell that Okie really enjoyed her time with Julie and is looking forward to her next stay!”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs, Cloe and Luna, received! They were clearly happy and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the photos and videos Casey sent us while we were away. It was really reassuring to know they were in good hands. We'd definitely leave them with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”
“Liliya is wonderful! She has a very clean house, takes only one dog at a time and sends wonderful photos of our dog so we can stay connected! This is our third stay with her and our dog seems very happy at her house. I highly recommend Liliya and we will be going back to her for our next trip!”
“Such amazing care and communication!! I actually think our dog was a bit sad to come home after the time he had with Jasmin and Eric! They are awesome and we definitely hope to work with them again!”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“We felt very comfortable and secure leaving our senior dog with Bridget for a long weekend. Bridget was highly communicative and kind. Marbles has a couple specialized needs that she easily accommodated (i.e., twice daily pill administration and avoidance of other dogs). Marbles tends to be anxious when without us but I could tell she felt at ease with Bridget from the pictures that she shared with us. We will rebook for sure!”

Bailey had a great time with Lindsay. It was so comforting to know that she was happy and comfortable in Lindsay's home thanks to a meet and greet. All Bailey's likes and quirks were catered to. Regular photos and updates gave us peace of mind on our 2 week trip. Will definitely be back fort the next trip!
We definitely lucked out finding Lyndsey & Evan!! They welcomed us and our boys (Pepper &Jack) with a lot of enthusiasm and excitement! I could tell immediately my boys felt right at home with them. I also felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them. They got multiple walks a day, endless playtime and cuddles. Thank you Lyndsey & Evan…We will see you again for sure 👍
Emily was amazing! We immediately felt so comfortable with her when we brought our dogs Franklin and Riley to stay the weekend at her home. She has a fantastic setup and was communicative about making sure she understood Franklin’s medicine schedule. Emily checked in with us and provided photos and videos. Our dogs had the best time with her and we absolutely would recommend her. We are already looking forward to the next time our dogs get to stay with her again!
We cannot recommend Alexandra enough! She watched Snoopy for nearly a week and sent wonderful photo updates throughout the stay, took amazing care of him, and he came home happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. We are already looking forward to booking with her again!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
91% of sitters in Norfolk can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Norfolk home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Norfolk.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Norfolk sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
