“Addison is amazing!! She has dog sat my 4 giant fur babies a couple of times. They are a handful but she is very good with them. You can tell she has a very calming presence and my dogs really like her. She is very responsible and very responsive. Would highly reccomend her to take care of your dogs or cats!”
“Megan did great with my cats. They’re usually a little shy with new people but looks like they were comfortable with her right away. If the cats are happy and content then I’m happy, will book Megan again!”
“We booked Taylor for the first time to watch our new dog, Maverick, and we couldn’t be happier. She was kind, communicative, and incredibly attentive. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and will definitely be requesting her again. Highly recommend!”
“Reyna is a fantastic 5-star sitter! Our energetic, 11-week old American Bully puppy, Ash, isn’t completely vaccinated yet, which is why we were in search of an in-home pet sitter. Caring for Ash is no small task as he’s also being potty trained but Reyna went above and beyond every single day. From the moment she walked in our home, it was evident she understood puppies. She got down on the living room floor to be at his level and started playing with him. He instantly took a liking to her as he rapidly wagged his tail and gave her snuggles. We were so impressed by the honesty in her profile, where she says her love for animals is what sets her apart as we can say without a doubt that it’s 100% true! From the moment she met Ash, her patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for him shone through instantly. Ash was happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored when we arrived from work each day, which says everything about the level of care he received. We were amazed at how well Reyna managed his boundless energy, kept his feeding and potty routine on track by journaling each event, and still gave him plenty of love and playtime. Reyna even took extra time to work on his crate training and manners, thoughtfully reinforcing the routines and lessons we’ve been teaching him. It’s rare to find someone who cares for your pet as if they were their own and even rarer to fully trust someone in your home but Reyna truly earned that trust. We felt complete confidence leaving Ash in her care while we were at work. Every time we texted to check in, she replied right away with the sweetest updates that instantly warmed our hearts and reassured us that Ash was truly in the best care. We’ll absolutely be booking Reyna again. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring in-home pet sitter, no need to scroll further as a Reyna is truly awesome!!!”
“Daniella did a pretty good job during her 3 day stay. She took care of Mochi, Buddy and Zoey and treated our dogs like her own. She also followed all instructions on feeding time, taking our dogs in the backyard and taking the time to spend time with them. I was also impressed when she also cleaned our kitchen counter tops, wiping down the cabinet doors and she even swept/ mop the floor and threw the garbage. That's what you call going up and beyond her job duties! We ask her to just take care or our dogs and she did more than that. I would highly recommend her to our family and friends! We also going to book her this coming December because we know we can count on her.”
About: My love for animals started at a young age; always the one to bring home the stray dog. From the wild to the domestic, I am a true animal advocate. I recognize that dogs have evolved into unique and intelligent beings, deserving of the same respect as any member of the household. I strive to assure you feel at ease knowing that your beloved pet is well taken care of in a safe and secure environment. Daily pics sent via email or text are provided. A plan for your pooch's stay at my Guest House will be tailored to your dog's individual personality, behavioral patterns, and owner preferences. If your pet needs 24/7 supervision, please inquire about availability before booking your reservation. A convenient location, we have a large shaded and fenced back yard for little dogs to explore and romp. Medium-sized pooches can be accompanied on walks around the pet-friendly neighborhood. A comfy bed awaits your pup for a sound night's sleep. Recently retired, so I can devote even more time to your fury family. Frequent home check-ins or dog walks are provided in the immediate Lodi area. All pets have their own preference. When boarding at Sleepy Pooch, pets are well supervised. Frequent outdoor activity is offered in a large fenced back yard. Larger dogs can be walked daily, if desired. Your loved one can sleep in the bedroom, alone in a kennel, or with the host’s pooch if he/she prefers. For pets who prefer to stay home, your host assures security of your property when entering and exiting. A mask will be worn at all times while inside your home. I assess the situation to identify any housekeeping issues that need to be addressed to keep your pet and home safe while you are away. Any mail or packages are brought inside. Cat boxes will be thoroughly cleaned at all times. Rest assured that I will take responsibility for your pet as if he/she is one of my own family members. DOG WALKING NOTE. Please have doggy leashed and ready to pick up for their walk. If your request involves entering the home or property to retrieve and prep the dog for a walk, select “Drop-in Visit” and add a note to request a walk during the visit. —Proof of current unexpired rabies vaccination is required for all pets—
About: I volunteer at the Stockton Animal Shelter. Also, I have a Pomeranian chihuahua mix so I’m used to smaller animals. My dog is 14-16 so he’s very old and is becoming more immobile and blind. I’m used to feeding him and helping him around the house. I’m currently working part time so most I’m completely free on the weekend as well as Monday and Tuesday. Also I have plenty of time on Thursday as a half day. I’m very respectful in others space. I will be very attentive to the rules that you lay out because you know your pet best
“Gabriella takes such great care of our pups! They get so excited to see her every time. She is great at giving me updates on how they're doing, and she is always on time. Thank you Gabriella!”
About: I've grown up with animals of all types and have extensive experience with dog behavior and training. I have a calm yet confident presence when working with animals that allows them to respect and respond appropriately. I currently have a 7 yr old Shih Tzu and a 2 yr old Maine Coon, and help my mom and siblings and daughter with their own dogs frequently (a Goldendoodle, a Frenchie, a Husky, and another Shih Tzu). I work remotely full-time and would love to earn extra income by pet sitting! For drop-in visits, I am fully available Sat/Sun, but Mon-Fri I'm only available between 6:00-7:30am and any time after 4:00pm. As long as I can work from your home during the week for consecutive overnight weekday stays that require me there 24/7, I am more than open to that as well. I would follow any specific directions and ensure your pet's regular routines and comforts are followed as closely as possible in my care. I am also comfortable making any decisions in real-time as needed to accommodate.
About: I have experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and sizes. I understand every animal is unique along with their needs, and I’m more than happy and willing to do whatever it might be to keep your fur baby happy and safe while in my care. I have open availability, so whenever I’m needed I’ll be there. I don’t work anywhere else or have kids, and I just have one dog of my own. Safety is my number one priority whether it comes to your animal or home. When it comes to my care I want you to be as stress free as possible.
“Celia did a great job taking care of our dogs, cats, horses and house. She sent pictures, kept us updated in the pets, and took great care of them. The house was clean. I highly recommend Celia and will call her again the next time we go on vacation.”
About: I love animals and I love being of service to dog owners who want peace of mind when leaving their pup for the day week or month! I am a full time dog trainer, the only thing I am currently doing is training and caring for dogs full time all day every day. I have a fenced backyard, and I will be watching your pup every moment of the day to ensure their safety. As safety is my number one priority.
“Alina saved our weekend. She was available on short notice and stayed with our dog while we went to a wedding. She was very attentive with Ivy and was very responsive to my multiple texts. Would use her again!”
“Amber has stayed with our pets at our house multiple times over the past few years and has always done a great job. Our dog and cat are always happy to see her, and the dog can be very particular about who he likes. She does a good job getting our high energy border-collie mix enough exercise! During the most recent stay, Amber couldn’t watch the pets the entire time we were gone so she had to hand off to another sitter. She offered to meet with the new sitter to make sure our pets were comfortable with the new person and she also checked in with us after the new sitter took over to make sure that they showed up. Amber previously took excellent care of a senior dog and cat for us when they needed special care and medication multiple times a day. I highly recommended Amber to anyone!”
“Donna was absolutely amazing with our Biscuit. She was incredibly well executed in terms of our dog's medication needs and care. She was so wonderful in her communications with us during our trip and considerate in her actions in and outside of our home. We would invite her back anytime and would highly recommend her services to friends and neighbors 😄”
“Miley has a very calm and warm attitude towards pets which put both of our dogs at ease very quickly. She is punctual, accommodating, and responsive to requests. My wife and I felt completely at ease with Miley in charge of the house and our pets. A great sitter whom we would book again without hesitation.”

“We selected Ashley on short notice and she was awesome as both a dog and house sitter! Sent regular updates and pics of our dog. Was extremely flexible and stayed past our agreed upon end time due to an unexpected delay in our travel. Feel very comfortable with her as both a pet and house sitter. Will definitely use again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Norton is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $34 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 Norton 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 Norton 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 Norton 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
