“This was the first time we used Beverly for house/dog sitting. She kept us informed daily on how our buddy was doing and sent daily photo updates. She also gave him a bath and trimmed up his nails! When we returned the house was in good shap and our little buddy was happy to see us! Over all excellent work by Beverly!”
About: I have had pets for my entire life. I have experience giving oral medications as I have had geriatric dogs. Your pets deserve to have as much of their normal routine as possible while their parents are out of town. I am available for full day care on Wednesday, Thursday, some Fridays, and weekends as a supplement to my full time job. I no longer have pets of my own and would love the opportunity to love your pets as if they were mine! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. They deserve to be comfortable in their homes, maintaining their normal routines. I would love to help!
“Jeanie did a wonderful job taking care of both our babies!! She went above and beyond sending us photos and giving us daily pupdates. It was a relief knowing they were in such good hands and company. They already miss her!!”
“Marie was absolutely fantastic with my pets! She watched them over Christmas and was very communicative, sending photos and updates all throughout the day! I can tell my pets had a great time.”
“Naomi was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She was available so last minute and we had to kept extending our days for a death in the family. It was a tall order because we have 4 dogs with all very different needs. Naomi handled it with ease, was flexible and accommodating, and updated us with pictures daily. We came home to a cleaner house than before, vacuumed floors, Amazon boxes stacked, laundry folded and the dogs were very happy! We could tell she did a great job with our babies!! I will 100% be rebooking with Naomi again. My husband and I are so impressed!!!!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 2–3 years, primarily caring for the pets of family and friends. I’m often the person they call when unexpected plans come up, they’re traveling, or they simply need someone to check in on their pets throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding, letting dogs outside, taking them for walks, playing with them, and making sure they have everything they need. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I always treat them with patience, attention, and lots of love. I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for pet sitting both on weekdays and weekends, and I’m often happy to stay at your home so your pet can remain in the familiar environment and routine they’re used to. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s normal feeding, potty, walk, and play schedules. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their own home, and I’m happy to follow their usual routines and any instructions you provide. I know pets tend to feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so staying in their home can help minimize stress while their owners are away. I’m attentive to their safety, make sure they’re cared for throughout the day, and will keep you updated while you’re gone.
“Caitlyn watched our pup while we were on vacation for almost a week. Our house looks spotless upon returning and our pup was so happy to see us. We got daily updates which were great and gave us peace of mind knowing that he was well taken care of!”
“Haley did an incredible job with our dog while we were away. She was very communicative, followed our requests, and gave our boxer plenty of love. We recently moved to the area and our dog seemed to have a hard time adjusting to having a dog sitter, but Haley was incredibly patient and understanding. I would highly recommend booking with her!!”
“Taryn was an absolute jewel. She treated my 3 girls as if they were her own & I appreciate so much all the extra love that she gave them. My house was clean on return from vaca & my fur babies were happy, so that's more then I can ask for. Thanks Taryn!”
“Kim was amazing with our 2 fur babies ! She made it so easy and eased our minds about leaving our puppets at home under her care. Falkor and Seraphina immediately took to Kim and were sad when it was time for her to go home. Highly recommend Kim ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾”
About: I have three years of caring for homes and pets, offering gentle assistance with light chores and ensuring pets receive their meals and medication with love and attention . Caring for animals is very rewarding for me as they bring me peace and comfort. I feel people have busy lives and their pets deserve to be cared for and nurtured in the process. Well just like people each pet would have specific needs and wants. I would observe the temperament and needs of the pet. I also administer medication and walks/socialization as needed.
“Chandler was great during our house sitting! She checked in with us often and we came home to a clean house! Our dogs loved her so much they were looking for her in the guest room the next morning after she left!”
About: I have been taking care of all types of animals for most of my life. Grew up on a farm, so no stranger to anything! Confident enough to take care of the little and the big pets! I currently work at UT, so I am available mid day and weekends. I work Monday through Friday 4 pm to 1 am. If I don’t answer right away, it’s probably because I am asleep. I am happy to come to your place and take care of or stay with your pet. Will always make sure they are safe and comfortable.
“Lucy has taken care of my fur babies a couple times now. She always takes really good care of them. She checks in with me to let me know how they are doing while I am gone and is very responsive to messages. Gracee and Cooper enjoy her when she is sitting with them!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing. I truly can’t say enough good things about her! From the start, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive. It was clear right away that she genuinely cared about making sure Reese was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. While we were away, Amber went above and beyond by sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing Reese so relaxed and clearly living her best life gave us complete peace of mind. On top of that, Amber added thoughtful touches that really stood out. She even offered to water our plants, and we came home to a clean house and fresh flowers. That level of care and attention is rare and so appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Amber again. She exceeded every expectation, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
About: My personal experience with animal care spans for essentially my entire life, starting with my parents having participated in AKC dog shows before I was born, ultimately retiring from this when I was extremely young. There have always been many animals in the house and I've participated in assisting with animal care essentially since the moment I have been physically capable of it. I've casually pet sit previously for friends and family friends to positive reception on a word of mouth basis prior to deciding to pursue doing this more consistently. I do not personally have a dog at the moment due to my status as a student meaning variable living conditions and often not with significant space. However, I do eventually plan to get a larger rescue dog when my circumstances allow. For now my personal day to day experience is with my childhood cat, who I have taken with me to college and is now 18 years old. If you happen to have senior pets with special needs, rest assured that I have plenty of experience with such things for both dogs and cats and regularly manage them with my own cat on a daily basis. I would also like to note that I am going into the healthcare field and have shared foundational courses and training in my undergraduate education with several friends who would go on to pursue veterinary medicine or conservation in their graduate tracks. There is a common base of knowledge between myself and future veterinarians and you can rest easy knowing that any medical issues or concerns will be noticed, respected, and handled appropriately. I look forward to meeting your family! I'm in a unique position where until January 2027, I am essentially completely available. Due to this unexpected free time, and upcoming tuition expenses I've felt it would be a good decision to try and make what money I can putting my skills in pet care to use over the course of this available period. I will likely continue to pet sit in 2027, since I do just enjoy it, but be aware that my availability will decrease significantly and I will be much more restricted to weekends. Due to my personal circumstances as a student, I am unable to host. I care for pets first and foremost with respect to any specific instructions provided by my client and secondly, how I would care for my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norris
We booked Marie while we were on a trip when other accommodations fell through due to our pup developing a cough. While we never got to meet her, she instantly made me feel comfortable that our dog would be in good hands. She sent pictures, videos, and regular updates. Her communication made what was a stressful situation so much easier! We would definitely book Marie again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Norris is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Norris walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Norris maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Norris 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!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

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.
