“Hannah was great with the kids. They took to her right away and settled in. She listened to our instructions and gave great updates. She kept the house clean and the dogs were well cared for. They are looking forward to having her back !”
“Teaghan took excellent care of our dog. She communicates well and is very responsive. She sent pictures and kept in good contact while she was at our home. It was our first time using Rover and we are so pleased with our experience with Teaghan!”
“Sophia was great! 10 out of 10 would recommend for sitting your pet! We were able to meet her before she stayed at our house! This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs for a few days to head to vacation and she was always sending us updated on how they were doing! We will be rebooking with Sophia for our next vacation to stay with our 2 dogs!”
“Jeff was so kind and took great care of our two cats while we were away for the holiday weekend. Our girls can be very timid and they warmed up to him no problem. He came over and met with us on short notice, and was very professional. Highly recommend his services to anyone. Thanks again!!”
About: I just moved to Mass from Costa Rica for work. Had to leave behind momentarily my family, which includes my wife, my dog (Millie) and my cat (cowboy). I really miss them, so I would like to offer my sitter/walker services to feel close to animals and make new furry friends! I love all animals and I’m an eternal defender of animal rights and wellbeing. I work full time Monday-Friday. I have full availability on weekends (Friday evening to Sunday night) and limited availability M-F evenings (6pm-10pm). I understand some owners have certain limits to be respected with their pets, so I adapt to the care and restrictions they have. I’m open to listen and adapt to my furry client. I’m also open to be recorded or provide constant updates/videos.
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.

“Alexis was wonderful. She was very attentive to Shep. She walked and played with him and took him out on adventures. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures. I would highly recommend and look forward to her dog sitting again. I know Shep misses her already.”
“Marie was an absolute joy and took amazing care of my cat, Arbie, and dog, Tycho. Not only was she willing to sit with fairly short notice but did everything right. 12/10 would recommend! 😊”
“Jennifer was great with our dog and cat! She stayed the weekend while we were away, and we knew everything was going well based on the amount of communication (and photos), which was very much appreciated! We would happily recommend Jennifer to others, and will surely use her again!”

About: I personally walk or hike my dog every day despite inclement weather. I own a high energy power breed. Ensuring he is given a high quality of life and general enrichment daily. I would love to give your dog the same. Through walks, hikes, or adventures letting them fulfill their needs so they come home tired in the best way possible. I understand dogs on a deeper level through body language and “why do they do that” I want to be a support or an aid in your life to help you with your fur baby. Thus creating a higher quality of life and care. My focus is respect, communication, and creating a relationship with your dog so they feel safe and can enjoy their time to the fullest. I strive to give high quality care. I would do this through play, training, walking, and enrichment. I own a German shepherd named Zeus and I love my life with him. Together we have traveled 11 states just the 2 of us. I focus on creating a safe, welcoming, fulfilling, enriching, time. To our dogs, we are their entire world. I want to support you in giving your dog the best quality of life. Safety and respect are my priorities. Along with communication through the app, and photos. Patience, reading body language, and moving at their own pace. I maintain a calm demeanor and focus to create an engaging relationship built on trust, and care. I work with infants as my main job. Creating a warm, welcoming, supportive, and loving environment is my niche. I love care taking and want to include that in other areas to my life.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! What started as caring for family pets and neighborhood dogs over 10 years ago has grown into a career I’m incredibly passionate about. 🐾❤️ I’m a professional dog walker and pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. From tiny seniors who enjoy a slower pace to energetic pups who love an adventure, I understand that every pet is different and deserves care tailored to their individual needs. I also have a background in professional pet grooming, which has given me additional experience handling animals with different temperaments, recognizing their body language, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. Throughout my career, I’ve provided everything from daily walks and drop-in visits to extended care and overnight pet sitting. I’ve built wonderful relationships with pets and their families, and I take pride in being someone they can trust and depend on. I’m also a proud pet parent to both dogs and cats, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your pets the way you do! 🐾 Availability & Scheduling Because I work professionally as a dog walker during the week, my primary availability for Rover bookings is Saturdays and Sundays, with additional availability on most weekdays after 3 PM. I understand everyone’s schedule is different, so other days and times can absolutely be discussed! I’m always happy to see what I can accommodate. 🏡 Overnight Pet Sitting Overnight stays are offered exclusively in the client’s home, allowing your pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their normal routines. My standard overnight care hours are 8 PM–8 AM. A meet and greet is required before any overnight stay. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your pet’s needs and routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before booking. ❤️ Safety, Trust & Personalized Care Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! While caring for pets in your home, I make sure they always have access to fresh water, receive meals and medications according to your instructions, and get the exercise, potty breaks, attention, and affection they need. I understand that every pet has its own personality, preferences, and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, or simply curling up on the couch for some extra snuggles, I’ll make sure they receive the care that suits them best. I also understand how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your furry family members in their care. I take that responsibility seriously and always strive to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care. I don’t believe pets are just animals; they’re family. I treat every pet in my care as if they were one of my own! Whether you’re looking for a reliable walking buddy, someone to check in on your pets while you’re away, or a trusted overnight sitter, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! Feel free to message me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾❤️
About: I've been surrounded by dogs my entire life. I know what they need, when they need it, and I can definitely provide it. Long walks are definitely not a problem, and I love playing with dogs. I'm out of school for the summer, so I'm free every single day of the week until late August. I typically don't have too many plans, and my schedule is extremely flexible. I promise to keep all pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I want to create a safe environment for new pets, as well as a great friendship between the pet and their owner alike.
“Kayla was professional, communicative, and great with my anxious senior dog. She followed instructions perfectly and administered her medications without any issues. I came home to a very happy dog. I will be happy to book Kyla again to take care of my fur baby.”
“Highly recommend Latifa, she worked wonders with my two post-op spayed (formerly) stray cats who required some special attention. So glad she was able to accommodate us so last minute!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norton
Brianna was so thoughtful - took excellent care of our two senior citizen pups. Very communicative on how they were doing, eating, etc. Sent us pics. If she wasn't sure about something, she asked. Made us feel confident that our dogs were getting the best care. Highly recommend!
Paige is the BEST! Our dog isn’t the easiest pup, but she handles him with total ease. She’s introduced fun games that keep him occupied and mentally challenged, which has made such a difference. Paige sends several updates each day (with photos!), and we always come home to a house that’s in great shape. We wholeheartedly recommend her to care for your furry kids while you’re away!

The average cost of House Sitting in Norton is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $111 per night.

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.
