Kiley was great! She was understanding that our kitty is extremely shy and kept us updated while we were away. She even accommodated an extra drop in on extremely short notice. I definitely recommend her!!

About: I have had pets my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits…I love animals of all kinds. My mom became paralyzed and I walked and took care of her 2 senior dogs for about 8 years until they passed. I gave them oral medication, cooked their food, walked and groomed them. Then she adopted a puppy and I took care of him as well as trained him. I currently have 2 french bulldogs of my own. One is a hyper little puppy and the other is a calmer 5 year old. I love caring for pets whether they are my own or someone else’s. I currently work part time in home care until 2pm 4 days a week. I am available most afternoons. My schedule changes if a client is in the hospital and does not need care those days which gives me the flexibility to pick up more last minute walks or check ins. I have children so I cannot work all weekend but i can be flexible and am open to them. I am open to walking your dogs in your neighborhood or wherever you prefer. I am also open to check ins and feeding dogs or cats. I will do my best to keep your routine with them if that is what you prefer. I would like to know a little bit about them beforehand and any preferences or habits they have.

About: Hello, my name is Sophia! I am located in Franklin, MA. I’ve been working in the animal care industry for 5 years and have worked at multiple different daycare/boarding facilities. I not only have experience in pet care, but also dog training. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pup/kitty! I am currently working per diem so my schedule can be inconsistent. However, since I do not work the same hours every week, I will be better able to make the time that adheres to your needs and schedule. Your pup’s health and safety will always be my top priority. During walks or overnight stays, your dog/cat will be my main focus at all times. I am always on top of your pets needs whether it is a walk, potty break, play time, feeding & water, or litter scooping; no task is too big or small.

About: I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals, from growing up training Golden Retrievers to the many years I spent with my Lhasa Apso, Cooper, and my two beloved cats. My home is a bit too quiet since they passed, and I’m eager to share that "family-first" devotion with your pets. I’m new to the app, but a veteran with animals! My Commitment to You: • Full-Time Attention: I work independently and am home the majority of the day. Your pet will be my primary focus and never left alone for more than an hour or two. • Versatile Experience: Whether it’s the high energy of a large breed or the specialized needs of a small senior, I’ve handled it all with patience and care. • The "Spoiled" Treatment: Since I’m just starting on Rover, I’m only taking limited guests. This means your pet gets 1-on-1 attention and a schedule tailored entirely to them. Services I Provide: • 🏡 Boarding: A cozy townhouse with carpeted stairs (great for traction!) in a very walkable community. Multiple daily strolls are a guarantee. • 🐾 Walks & Drop-ins: Punctual and reliable. I’m comfortable with all temperaments and am happy to follow your specific training or house rules. • 🐱 Cat Care: As a former cat mom, I specialize in visits that prioritize real companionship and play, not just a food-bowl refill. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and treat them like a member of my own family! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work independently and am home the majority of the day, stepping out for no more than an hour or two at a time. Your pet will never be left alone for long, and I treat every animal in my care as my own. My home is a townhouse with carpeted stairs and plenty of cozy space for pets to roam. Both cats and dogs are welcome throughout. I live in a very dog friendly community, so walks happen multiple times a day based on your pet’s needs and energy level. Your pet will be comfortable, well cared for, and never an afterthought.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

About: My pet care experience has seen be learn a number of skills such as monitoring your pets behavior to understand when a social situation may become too stressful. Other skills I have acquired are following directions for specific diets, seeing through that each pet gets exactly what their owners ask for. I have also gained experience in grooming as well. Right now, I can work any day of the week, Monday through Friday, and as for times I am very flexible, I can start as early as you need and keep your pet until whenever you want! I am very attentive when it comes to pets. With my previous work experience, it was necessary for me to stay alert, as to make sure no pets ended up harming each other, or to make sure they weren’t doing something they’re not supposed to.

About: I’ve walked/sat for dogs since I was a kid. I’ve grown up with a dog and now have my own at the age of 25 I am in Norwood living with my partner and looking for work, I decided to put a profile together and take care of pets to earn some money in the mean time. They’re allowed all the free play space in the open living area. Lots of space to run around. We’re close to a field for fetch and walks and I am more than happy to drive to a fenced in dog park. I have a vehicle and can drive to your home as well to hang out in the pets home if need be. I trained my dog by myself she is very responsible. She is energetic but kind and cuddly. She knows how to sit, come, stay, play dead, sit pretty, give paw, and loves fetch

About: I have over five years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments through my job at Happy Tails Doggy Daycare, where I was promoted to the highest-level handler. Every day, I managed groups of 15+ dogs, monitored behavior, prevented conflicts, and helped create a safe, positive environment for every dog in my care. I also have experience administering medication and caring for both young and senior dogs. On a personal level, I’ve owned three dogs myself, and one of my current dogs is very anxious and reactive, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs that need extra patience, structure, and attention. I truly love working with animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently home from college for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pups the attention and care they deserve! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet care at a variety of hours, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pets are well cared for and comfortable. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, feeding on schedule, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and energy level to make sure they are happy and comfortable, and I’m experienced in handling dogs with different personalities and needs, including reactive and senior dogs. My goal is always to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure and well cared for while their owners are away.

We will absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

About: I’ve been walking my family’s dogs for almost a decade now - a high energy Brittany spaniel as well as a husky/shepherd mix. 7 years ago I adopted Layla, a pittie/german shepherd mix who I’ve trained extensively and take on daily adventures. Then, a year ago I adopted Dixon (a German shepherd/Australian cattle dog mix) and he’s been reactive to humans and dogs alike. I’ve had extensive training in classes with him alongside professionals. I’ve taken that experience and can apply many basic training concepts to dogs of all sizes/ages. I’m currently off of work for the summer and have total flexibility to look after/walk your pups! When I am working during the school year, I have afternoons available to walk your dogs during the work week. I have a wide variety of trails/walking spots I frequent in the local area, so your pup will always be enriched & happy! I always carry some kind of dog deterrent (PetSafe SprayShield or Pet Corrector) in case of emergency, and always engage in positive reinforcement training throughout walks. This looks like rewarding the dog(s) with treats when they check in with me, stay in a heel, or keep loose tension on the leash.

Abby and our mini poodle Ruby hit it off immediately. Abby bonded with her right away. She was quick to absorb the details of Ruby's routine and has done a great job! She is a good communicator, very responsible, and quickly responds to all our requests. She has been to our house a few times now and we will definitely have her back. A sign of a good visit - Ruby was calm and contact after and happy to nap the rest of the afternoon.

About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was a little girl, whether they were my own pets or the pets of neighbors, friends, or the dogs at my daycare job. People know they can rely on me especially when it comes to their pets, because I know that to most people, their dog or cat is seen as an important member of the family and they should be treated as such. I am very capable of this as well as seeing to your animal’s needs, including but not limited to: playing, exercising, grooming, bathing, feeding, training, and petting. At the moment, I am working at a doggy daycare and learning to train dogs. I have available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays but I will become more available soon. I will play with your pet and create a safe way for them to play. I will make sure your pet is healthy, happy, and safe. I will respect your property and privacy and make sure I follow your instructions to the T.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Norfolk on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 10,787 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Norfolk. 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 Norfolk 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.

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 Norfolk 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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Norfolk with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 91% 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.

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.
