“Wendy is great! She came on time every day and sent lots of pictures. The cats liked her, and she spent plenty of time playing with them. I will definitely be reserving with her again!”
“Hannah was great at communicating and sent awesome pics of howie. I asked her to check on him because I was afraid he was not feeling well and she happily supplied a report.”
“Sam is great! She watched our oldest kitten when he was just a few months old, and again now that we have two! Our oldest loves playing with her and hanging out, and though our second is a little shy, she did manage to come out at the end of the visit. Sam is reliable and has great communication. Looking forward to booking her again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and personal attention I give to every pet in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same kindness, affection, and respect I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your furry friend just wants some extra cuddles and reassurance, I take the time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I also believe in keeping pet parents informed with regular updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your beloved companions are in caring hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, worry-free owners, and the kind of care that feels like family! 🐾❤️ I’m currently a stay at home mom and although our kids have school and activities, I’m able to check on cats locally in between my family commitments. I am very responsible and respectful of people’s homes and personal spaces. My job is to check on their pets and tend to their needs in the time I visit my client’s homes.
About: I have had 3 dogs in my household, I’ve been taking care of 2 of them for the past 5 years. I have always helped my neighbors and friends walk, feed, and play with their pets while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and will be there when you need me. I’m working part time currently but I’m available between 8-11 am on weekdays, and on weekends I’m available after noon. But if another time is needed I will try to accommodate to it. I always let my dogs out multiple times a day, walk them and also feed them at specific times throughout the day. So if you need your dogs walked or fed at certain times I can be there!
“As always, Jeff goes above and beyond to take care of Paul. Paul recently had a change in his health a couple weeks prior to our vacation, and Jeff was able to accommodate with medication and monitoring Paul for any changes. We felt calm knowing Paul was in good hands!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, and my family and I have two of our own. I’ve also taken care of pets for neighbors, family, and friends, so I’m comfortable with all ages, personalities, and routines. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I run my own business and am home most of the time. I plan my day around visits so each pet gets steady attention. I care for pets by following their normal routines, paying close attention to their behavior, and keeping their environment calm and comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe and relaxed.
“Stephanie is such a big help to my chickens and me! She made sure my chickens had fresh water when I was worried about it being frozen. And on a holiday!! Thank you so much, Stephanie!!”
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
“I would definitely recommend Brianna for your pet care needs. She has excellent communication and provides photos at each visit. She is also dependable so one less worry while you are away.”
“Sam visited our pups on a long day and the pups seemed to really love seeing a friend! There was lots of pets and cuddles and playing, and the photos Sam shared showed our dogs having a grand old time during his visit. We’re so grateful for Sam!”
“Meaghan responded quickly to my short notice request for a drop - in visit on the weekend She arrived on time and communicated well. I would definitely recomment her.”
“Jenie was so wonderful to work with! She was attentive, very quick to respond, and clearly treated our anxious pup with gentleness and care. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Katie goes above and beyond every time she cares for our elderly cat and anxious dog. She is attentive, communicates throughout our trips, and cares for them like they were her own.”
About: Dogs have always been a special part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and quirks. I have experience with rescue dogs (have two of my own!) who often come with "trust issues." I value time with senior dogs, too. They are our teachers. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply a little extra love while you're away, I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to treat them like they’re my own. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in caring, capable hands. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have excellent daily availability for pet care. My flexible schedule allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, playtime, companionship, and plenty of attention. I’m able to easily work pet care into my everyday routine and give your pup the time and care they need. I provide a loving, attentive, and comfortable environment where dogs can feel at home. I have a friendly 2-year-old dog of my own and a crate available if your pup is crate-trained or needs some quiet time. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, my home abuts beautiful walking trails that dogs love to explore. I’m happy to provide plenty of walks, playtime, companionship, and individual attention based on each dog’s needs and routine.
About: Hi, my name is Molly! My whole life I have always been fascinated by animals. I was fortunate enough to attend a vocational school where I learned animal science. I have taken hands on classes working with animals, mostly dogs and cats. I have done canine course work including agility, training, and grooming. My experience beyond classes includes working at two doggy daycares, alongside dog trainers, and walking dogs for a small business. I have also been walking dogs on Wag since 2021! Animal care, mainly dogs, has been a prominent part of my life. I have lots of experience with dogs of all kinds: small to giant, low energy to never ending energy, walks of all lengths in all types of weather. Additionally, I travelled a for a few months this year to volunteer on farms across America, gaining experience with all sorts of farm animals as well. Safe to say, I love animals! But I absolutely love dogs and I can't wait to meet your pup! I am currently in between jobs so pet care is my main interest at the moment. I have plenty of free time and lots of flexibility. Feel free to send me a message and I'm sure we can work something out! I know firsthand how important and valued pets are. To treat them as if they were my own is my goal when providing care. I understand animal body language and never push their boundaries.
“Riley was great with our 19 year old kitty. She is a true animal lover and she spoiled him like we do! He is fussy with strangers but he took to her right away. Would definitely hire her again!”
About: I've had pets my entire life and feel very comfortable with them! I grew up cat sitting for my neighbors, family and friends. Any cat or dog I've met I love like my own! I would love to take care of your pet- young, old, big and small! I currently work a full-time job but work from home three days a week. I am available for an hour between 8-5 and am free any time after 5pm! I am in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I am free after 5pm on those days. Weekends are pretty flexible! I will provide your pet with cuddles, pets, feedings and groom them regularly! I will take your pup for walks and have play time to get their energy out so they can take a solid nap while you're out of the house! I will spoil your cat or dog with lots of attention so they don't miss you too much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Norfolk is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 11,146 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 .
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 , 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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
