“Raven is so great with Mabel! She keeps me updated throughout their time together with photos and messages, takes the time to play together, and ensure she’s well taken care off. Thank you!”
“Hannah was amazing with our elderly pup, I would highly recommend her. She kept us updated and sent pictures which were not necessary but so nice because we have never left our 12 year old lab with anyone before! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for over 30 years. I have taken care of other peoples pets for over 10 years. I love to interact with animals and provide exceptional general care ❤️🧡🏳️🌈 I am pretty flexible and available unless already booked through my other house sitting services. We can find a time that works! for a meet and greet. It would be your home, they would get to remain comfortable and free of exposure to other animals with a variety of issues from a loving and kind professional.
“Beau had a wonderful time! Teaghan was super kind and attentive. Really easy to get a hold of her when we needed to and we loved getting photo and message updates while we were away. Staying at our home she kept it clean and even was so kind to take the sheets off the bed before she left! Beau loved having her and we can’t wait to have her again soon. 10/10!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large, high-energy dogs. I also have a cat and experience with smaller pets like bunnies, so I understand how to adjust care based on each animal’s needs and personality. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Im currently homeschooled, in my senior year. My schedule is open I’m available everyday all day. I will be attending college in the fall. My dog, cat, and bunny are very well taken care of (photos in profile), Oreo my cat is the most spoiled he is the king of the house. Bunny is free range she is literally a dog most of the time haha. Shea my doggie is now older so she is more layed back in the playing department but she loves the outside time!
“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!!”
“Rebecca provided invaluable peace of mind on our recent week abroad. Her thoughtful questions during our first meeting, a thorough pre-trip care questionnaire, and regular communication/updates assured us our home and fur babies were in good hands. We returned to happy pets and plants and a spotlessly clean home. We rebooked with Rebecca for our 2025 trip with no hesitation.”
“I had a feeling from my first phone interview with Lynne that she was a keeper. She is an amazing person and it is or quite interesting to hear her story. After she came by for an introductory visit I had no doubt she would smother them with affection and companionship. I also appreciated her obvious skill as an experienced dog owner in setting limits for their behavior. Her little tike Milo got along great with our girls. We will be booking her again for our next trip for sure. She is a Gem!”
“I don't even know where to begin with how wonderful Ariel is! She took amazing care of our handful of a dog for 4 days while we were away and went above and beyond! She was very respectful of our home, which she offered to stay over to give our dog more company. She was very informative and communicating with me about everything from his feeding, bathroom breaks, and hours so would come and go. She asked great questions and genuinely cared about caring for our dog and interacting with him. I would highly recommend using Ariel for your pet sitting needs. I hope to be able to have her watch our dog again before the end of summer. 5+ stars for Ariel!”
“Jill did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. We were a little nervous about leaving them with someone besides family but Jill eased our minds with updates and photos. We will definitely book her again in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Tara, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have several years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m also an experienced Olde English Bulldogge breeder, which has given me extensive knowledge in animal behavior, puppy care, feeding routines, medication administration, transportation, and providing a safe, structured environment for pets. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, boarding, puppy check-ins, nail trims, and local and long-distance pet transportation. I’m also a USDA-certified pet transporter, experienced in safely transporting pets for relocations, breeder transport, vet appointments, and airport pickups. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. My home is pet friendly with a fenced-in yard, and I have dogs and cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone caring for your pets. I treat every animal like family and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while you’re away. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to build trust and make them feel comfortable. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight care, transportation, or just extra attention during the day, I’m here to help provide dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident about. I currently work as a school bus driver, so my availability follows the school calendar. During the school year, I carefully schedule pet care services around my route to ensure every pet receives reliable, attentive care. With summer break approaching, my availability will increase significantly, allowing me to accept more walks, drop-in visits, transportation services, and boarding requests. Boarding is offered on a limited, case-by-case basis to ensure each pet receives the attention, supervision, and comfortable environment they deserve. I have a fenced yard and a pet-friendly home, and I strive to treat every pet as if they were my own. If you're looking for care outside my listed availability, feel free to reach out—I may be able to accommodate your needs depending on my schedule. Providing a safe, comfortable, and trustworthy environment is my top priority. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including experience as an Olde English Bulldogge breeder and a USDA-certified pet transporter. This background has given me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, proper handling, health monitoring, and pet safety. My home is pet-friendly with a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. Pets are never left unattended in unsafe situations, and I carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains comfortable and stress-free. Because I only accept boarding on a limited, case-by-case basis, I can provide personalized attention and maintain a calm environment for each guest. I understand that trusting someone with your furry family member is a big decision. That's why I focus on clear communication, following your pet's routine, and treating every dog in my care as if they were one of my own. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel confident, comfortable, and cared for from drop-off to pick-up. 🐾
“My pups LOVED Meghan! She sent me updates and photos multiple times a day, was so communicative and I didn’t worry once that they weren’t being cared for while on my trip. As a neurotic dog mom booking her first time sitter, I couldn’t be happier that I found Meghan. Coming home to very happy, healthy dogs and a well cared for home was the best feeling ever! The dogs are already looking forward to my next trip!”
“Sophia stayed with our three pups during the blizzard week. Not only were our fur babies well cared for, she did an outstanding, above and beyond job caring for our home. We would absolutely have her come stay again! Highly recommend.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Norton on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,366 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Norton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 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.
