“Konnie is the best pet sitter we have had by far! She always makes us feel comfortable leaving our pets for the entire trip. She is so responsive and always sends update without being asked. We appreciate the care she provides and we know she loves our animals!”
“We have three rescued dogs each with their little quirks and they can be a lot of work but a lot of fun. They love Lori. How great is that? All we want is the dogs to be safe and have a good time with their house sitter and with Lori we/they get both. Highly recommend her. She is wonderful and the dogs miss her when she leaves.”
“I can’t say enough about how great Patience was with the dogs! I’m sure they felt they were on their own vacation! We have dog with medication needs and she was totally on top of it! Sent pictures and video updates! I think the dogs only complaint is that she left when it was over!”
“Sarah was absolutely great! She is great at communication both before and during the day, kept the house clean, and most importantly kept the animals safe while we were away. We are looking forward to using Sarah in the future!”
“My dogs were well taken care of and my house looked the same as when i left. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I will definitely reach out again to book Katelyn P!”
“Tabbi was great with my little Nahla! Everything was left just as it was when I left you could hardly tell she was there 😀 Will definitely book with her again.”
“Julie took great care of our two dogs and our cat while we were away on vacation. She communicated frequently and it was stress free experience for us. She stayed at our house while we were away and only left the dogs for a couple hours at a time. It was great! Julie is very trustworthy. We will work with her again and highly recommend!”
“Tara did an excellent job housesitting and petsitting our German shorthair dog, Sage. She was very responsive and we loved the pictures and numerous updates throughout the day, it made us feel so at ease and assured that our dog was in good hands! We have already booked her for another date. Thank you, Tara!”
About: I have had dogs since I was little and love playing with them and taking care of them. I’m an athletic person so if the dog is in the mood to play, I can certainly be a great playmate! I have experience with dog sitting overnight, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I work at a nursing home, but I get to choose the shifts I pick up, so my schedule can be very flexible. I am looking for more pups to help out! I can provide overnight care at the owners home. While I am there, I make sure to take your dog for walks, play outside, and give lots of rubs and cuddles. As a person, I am very low maintenance, so you won’t have to provide hardly anything if come care for your pups overnight.
“Shayna had great communication. She sent pictures of my baby as requested. She was very kind and respectful of the house. I could tell that my pup was comfortable in her care. Would definitely book again.”
“Sauddi was absolutely amazing! It took no time at all for my 2 dogs to warm up to her. She is loving, kind and knows how to provide an exciting time for the dogs. She provided pictures and updates daily. She took excellent care of the house. We will certainly use her again. Highly recommend Sauddi.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and honestly, we were a little hesitant about trusting the process. We've used boarding facilities in the past, and unfortunately those experiences didn't go well due to a lack of supervision and care. Halle completely set our mind to ease from day one. She was phenomenal from the start—attentive, communicative, and incredibly flexible when we accidentally mixed up some dates. She always kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our boy, Stirling, is a high-energy husky who requires patience, understanding, and someone willing to keep up with him. Halle handled him like a champ. She treated him with genuine compassion and care, and it was clear she took the time to understand his personality and needs. The biggest testament to how wonderful she is is Stirling's reaction to her. He gets excited every time she comes over, and after her visits, he'll sit by the windowsill waiting for her to come back. That's all the confirmation we need that he loves her just as much as we do. We can't recommend Halle highly enough. She is trustworthy, caring, reliable, and truly exceptional with dogs. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Peyton did a great job with my pups. One of my dogs is timid and she seemed to have gained his trust and done well with them. She’s also great at communicating and providing updates when needed.”
“Cassandra was a great cat and house sitter. She was communicative, sent us great pictures and videos, kept the house clean and tidy, and followed instructions for Kitty’s care. Kitty seemed well taken care of and happy. We will definitely reach out to Cassandra for our future travels. Thank you, Cassandra!”
“Kate was such a life savor booking us at the last minute! She was very communicative and prompt! Our little guy is hard to warm up to and she was very patient with him and made him feel very comfortable! She sent lots of photos and videos of our pups while we were away and missing them!! We will use her again!”
“Zoey was wonderful, both my cats warmed right up to her even my shy boy! She was super communicative and did a great job with my cats I will definitely rebook with her and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Owen took great care of Mason! He communicated well throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Mason was happy and well cared for when I returned. We would definitely recommend Owen and would be happy to book with him again.”
“Allie was an excellent sitter for my 2 year old German Shepherd Dog Hero! She was attentive to his needs, took him on regular walks multiple times a day, walked him to the Dog park down the road and let him run and play, and sent me regular updates and photos of their time together. Allie is detail oriented and will follow instructions to the letter. Her and Hero played so hard while she dog/house sat with one of his favorite toys that the squeaker broke out of it and she went out of her way to buy him a close replacement for it as well as a bag of treats which she absolutely didnt have to do but Hero and I appreciated very much! I would highly recommend Allie's services to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was uneasy at first having a stranger stay at my home to watch my dog, but after seeing how comfortable Hero was around her within minutes of meeting her it gave me some peace of mind and Allie is absolutely worthy of trust and your business. Thanks for all you did for Hero and I Allie and I wish you nothing but the best I'll definitely be in contact next time I need someone to help with Hero!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,227 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.
