“Need someone last minute. John responded promptly and was very communicative during his stay since it was his first time looking after my dog. Took him for a pee break and a little walk and gave him treats and my dog looked happy. Very pleased. Thanks!”
About: Hi! I’m 22 and a college athlete who plays basketball and softball in Boston. We’re currently on break until late January, and I’m looking to pet sit or help out in any way I can. I grew up with dogs and recently lost my own, so spending time with other pups really means a lot to me. I love walks, playtime, and giving dogs lots of attention and cuddles. I’ve also walked dogs for a neighbor and would treat your dog like they’re my own! Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. Since I’m currently on break from school until late January, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight care and can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs I will gladly take care of your pets in your home, or even take them on hikes if need be! I am able to help overnight as well as needed.
About: As an adult, I have had a vast amount of experience for my age with dogs. I have helped with dogs as young as 5 weeks to as old as 16 years and everywhere in between. Comfortable walking, giving meds, grooming, cleaning up accidents, etc. I work weekdays until 5 but Fridays only until 2 and have very flexible weekends or week nights with just a little notice. I'd love to do more and there are days where I can get out a little early like around holidays. Pets will not be in my home as it is simply too small. More than comfortable inside and out of a clients home such as the yard, taking walks, or just playing and snuggling inside.
About: I have done in home visits and dog walking for pets of all types. 3 years of experience. Tons of availability. True animal lover at heart. Many references available. I am currently not working and I'm looking for a few regular gigs to keep me busy. I love to walk and hike. I love people and animals in general. I currently am a homemaker with a fenced in yard, three cats at home, and a dog nephew who gets dropped off for at my discretion for either a long day of daycare or a sleepover.
About: Hello! I am an experienced dog caregiver having had puppies, adult and senior dogs along with pet care for neighbors and friends. Walking dogs, bathing, brushing, snuggling and caring for our furry friends has been a blessing. I am hoping to enrich our home with the care of your dog while you are away. I will provide daily walks, praise, favorite foods and toys for your pet to enjoy. Please contact me to discuss your vacation dog-sitting needs. Thank you. My part time working schedule is very flexible allowing me to be available for petcare based on an as needed schedule. Weekends are open too. We have a back yard and easily accessible walking areas nearby to take your pet out for some exercise and fresh air. Daily exercise is important.
About: I'm a safe, dependable dog walker and sitter. I treat all pets lovingly. I adopted my Golden Doodle at three years old after I retired. She's like my child and is very welcoming and friendly. Previous to my Golden, I owned a beautiful Yellow Lab for 12 years. I am loving and nurturing to all pets, keep them safe, and take care of their needs so they are happy. I’m available for drop-ins, sitting, and visits. I always do a meet and greet before finalizing a commitment because it’s helpful for me to meet the pet and owner, and learn more about their routine and expectations to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Times can be discussed. This gives me plenty of time to watch your pet, and make sure their needs are met. I like to work out a schedule with the owner that works best for everyone. I'm semi-retired, and work at a flexible part time job so I have plenty of time to provide proper care for your family pets! At this time, I’m specializing in watching dogs mornings and evenings based on my commitments and obligations at the clients house. I am available for drop-ins, sitting, and walks.
About: I am a college student who loves dogs, and who would love to take care of yours! I grew up alongside my black lab who unfortunately passed away a few years ago. I still thoroughly enjoy being around dogs and taking care of them even though my family has yet to adopt another. Your dog will get plenty of attention with frequent walks and a large yard to play in. Let me know any needs they have, and I will make your dog feel at home! I am currently working most days during the week, but I am free on the weekends to look after your dog. I am very flexible on the weekends to accommodate your dogs every need. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to play in and there are nearby trails to walk in as well if interested. I am more than happy to accommodate any special requests, diets, or other needs.
“Kristina was awesome! She came to let Louie out and pay him a visit, as well as feed him dinner. She was communicative and even went out of her way to do a meet and greet a few days before.”
“Isabell is great! She came over to let Lyra out while we were gone for the day. Her communication before and during the visit were perfect. We'll definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Starting when I was only two years old, I became the neighborhood dog walker. Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, turtles, hamsters, rabbits, lizards, birds, and more. In 2020, I began my own cat rescue and to date have saved 40 stray/feral cats and kittens. I have experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, and am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid. My house is full of fur babies - I have a pit bull and three cats of my own. I know how stressful it can be to go away and leave them, and I hope to alleviate some of that stress! ❤️ I work as a therapist in Dedham. My schedule is semi flexible and I work remotely on Wednesdays. I do not work on Fridays or over the weekends. I feel very comfortable with all animals. My rescue work has taught me how to work well with terrified or aggressive animals, and I have a lot of patience. I feel comfortable crating dogs if that is requested, as well as walking very big or very strong dogs.
“Such amazing, attentive and detailed care to my little cat! Gabriella was also such a great communicator, I felt always in the know as I was living so far away. Having her there made me feel at ease about my cat, and super grateful. Definitely recommending Gabriella G. to my friends with pets.”
About: Since I was a toddler I’ve had dogs around me, growing up with Newfoundland’s (they are big!!) and German shepherds. I also have experience with other large breeds like Great Danes and hounds as well as small like Maltese’s and chi weenies! I love all dogs and exploring with them! I do work as a teacher so I will be available for evening walks as well as weekends. My own dog I walk daily rain or shine and will do the same for you! I have a chiweenie who is very friendly and loves adventures! We love walks- long or short! I understand not all dogs mesh well with others so my dog can always stay home from walks!
“Amara is friendly, communicative, and reliable. She was so good with the cats that she even was able to draw out our shy girl. We would love to use her again - high recommendation!”
“Kathryn is FANTASTIC! She took such good care of my cats while I was away, I think they missed her when I came back. I am grateful for how well she communicated with me and the time she spent with them and loved all the pictures she sent me. I would not hesitate to request her help again.”
“Lauren was great checking in on our dog at our home. She made sure to take lots of pictures and leave a thorough update on how our dog was doing, and was even nice enough to bring our packages inside. We would definitely recommend working with Lauren”
“Madison helped us out with only a couple of hours notice. She was responsive, polite, and our dogs were well cared for and appropriately tired when we got home. I highly recommend Madison.”
“Our dog usually takes awhile to warm up to people which is why I was shocked at how quickly she warmed up to Jessica. She came home very happy and tired after their hike. You can tell how much she already loves Jessica - she even jumped up by the window to watch her leave , which she doesn’t normally do for other people. Highly recommend Jessica !”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norton
Jillian was incredible with our 6 month old puppy. She was responsive before, during and after booking. She was sweet, receptive to my extensive instructions and my puppy loved her. She spent time with him, took him on walks, played with him and made him so happy. She sent pictures each time she visited, ensuring us he was looked after. I will rebook her every-time we need care and would recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, respectable care for their animals.

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 Norton 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 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!
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 Norton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 95% 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.
