“Jordan did an excellent job, the notes she provided on the cards were very informative & detailed. She communicates well & practices the same things with your dogs that you do. I will definitely use her again!”
“Our dog sitter last minute had something come up so we were scrambling to find a sitter last second and larry was amazing. We were nervous at first with not knowing him, but he was quick to respond, responsible, and kept us updated all the time. Our dogs looked so happy in all the pictures and our neighbor said she could tell they were well taken care of. Can not express enough how greatful we were for him! Would recommend him in a heartbeat”
“Highly recommend! At the meet and greet she was so easy to talk to and our dog Luna loved her! While we were away I didnt worry if callie and luna were taken care of, she sent pictures of them getting all the love and attention. I think our house was cleaner than when we left too, 10/10 will be using every time we go out of town!”
“Grace was amazing! Our previous sitter dropped out last minute, Grace was available and responsive and we were able to get everything sorted 2 days before we left. She even got our shyest cat out and about and made sure to send plenty of action shots of the cats playing!”
“Chelsea was such a great care taker of my 2 outdoor cats. She met with us before our booking. She even took care of a package while were away. Pictures were sent every day. Thank you Chelsea.”
“Theresa was fantastic to work with! She checked in with me throughout the weekend, kept things simple, asked great questions, and made sure everything was clear before and after each visit. We communicated easily and set the perfect timing, which made managing alarms a breeze. This was my first time ever using Rover, and I’ve always been a little hesitant — but the experience couldn’t have gone better. I’ll definitely continue using Rover going forward, and I look forward to booking with Theresa again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah did a wonderful job of caring for my cat while I was out of town. She was very communicative and added lots of pictures. She even cleaned up an area where he had an accident and made sure to clean my kids toys nearby. Highly recommend!”
“Julie was a great pet friend to Cle while we were away. She left cute pics and updates and always let us know when she was going to arrive. Cle was so happy when she came to play and give lots of belly rubs!”
“Rachel took great care of our rabbit and our house for winter break. She administered liquid meds to our rabbit as requested and was very communicative before and during the stay.”
“Tiffany did a great job loving on our babies and running them outside in the backyard during the day! Even when it was windy and cold!! The dogs loved it! Will definitely reach out to her for future needs!”
“This is our first time using Rover. We wanted someone who was mature and responsible and Jeanne was a great fit. She was prompt and caring from the start. She sent messages and pictures every time and followed the details of our instructions. She was also thoughtful and thorough in how she cared for our kitty. We especially appreciate Jeanne giving time and space for our kitty to warm up to her and make sure she was comfortable with interaction. We recommend Jeane!”
“Jazmin was great! I had to book somewhat last minute, and Jazmin was able to even make some additional visits while my husband was away. Will definitely keep contact info for future visits!”
“Zara was so sweet and took great care of my pack! This was my first time using rover and it was a lovely experience. I will definitely reach out to Zara again when we need someone to check on our pups!”
“Abby is incredible! I had to cancel last minute with another sitter due to bad vibes and she responded so quickly and with any/all information I could want or need! This was the first time leaving Riggins alone at home while on a quick vacation and during her check-ins with my cat she sent as many pictures as possible and kept me well informed! It put me at ease. She is just the sweetest! I will be using her services from now on!!”
“Felicia took good care of my dog, made sure all the basics were covered and even did us a solid as we forgot something prior to going out of town. A solid, reliable choice for pet care.”
“Geneive was great with our kitty! He was not feeling like himself and had to get medications given to him and Geneive did a great job giving him his medications. She sent us many pictures and videos of him throughout the time. Its not easy leaving your sick pet with someone put she made us feel comfortable that our kitty was well taken care of. She was on time and professional. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone!”
“I found Eleanorah for our two pups right after we our original dog sitter flaked out on us & we were already hundreds of miles away - she was an absolute lifesaver! Our pups loved her from the meet-and-greet onward. She was thorough, professional, and reliably sent us updates for every visit. I highly recommend her services!”
About: Many friends and family have relied on me to watch their fur babies. I grew up with dogs and a cat. I also have owned two cats. I have experience with medication administration with cats. I am a stay at home mom to two littles so I can typically drop in the morning or evening before or after my husband’s work schedule. I will respect your home and keep it tidy and the way I found it. I will make sure your pet has plenty of water, food, clean litter box, do potty breaks, give your pet some love, and monitor for anything unusual during my visit.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Norfolk is $20

Felisha was over the top when it came to taking care Joey. He took to her very quickly and looked like he had a great time while we were away. Even when he got a 24 hr bug she was able to get him feeling better in no time. We will definitely call on her again when we go away
Quinn was amazing as our pet sitter for our cat Leo. He went above and beyond while I was away for several days, and I'm truly astonished at how easy Quinn made my vacation. Leo has a lot of requirements as far as taking care of him, and Quinn rose to the occasion in a huge way, and I really got the safe feeling Leo would be taken care of very well while I was away. Would definitely recommend Quinn as a pet sitter!!! Your pets are in good hands if you do
There are some people who just have a beautiful energy about them, and Julie is absolutely one of those people. From the moment I met her, she had such a warm, peaceful, and genuinely kind aura that immediately made me feel comfortable trusting her with my cat, Ollie. Ollie means more to me than I could ever put into words, so having someone care for him while I’m away requires a huge amount of trust. With her, I know my boy is being cared for, loved, talked to, and given genuine companionship. She has such a gentle, nurturing presence, and I really believe animals can sense that kind of energy in people. Most of her check in photos are him laying on his back exposing his belly which from a cat owner’s perspective, requires A LOT of trust. Knowing she is with him gives me a sense of peace. She is compassionate, thoughtful, reliable, and just seems to have one of those naturally beautiful souls that animals gravitate toward. I feel incredibly grateful to have found someone I trust so deeply with such an important little piece of my heart. I truly could not recommend her enough
Lisa was wonderful! She followed all instructions, including giving medications to one of our cats. We received daily pictures and updates. The cats liked her a lot, which says a lot about her personality! Will definitely rebook in the future, and highly recommend!
Judy was absolutely amazing! She made the entire experience stress free. She was reliable, communicative, and sent me updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She took great care of my cat, respected her personalities and boundaries, and genuinely cared about her wellbeing.
Larry did a great job communicating with me during my entire trip and had no trouble adjusting to the moods of my occasionally anti-social cat. I never have to worry when he is looking after her— I always know she is getting the attention she needs from someone who is thoughtful and kind. Great Rover sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Norfolk on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,365 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
