“Debbie and Bill provided first class care for our dog for an overnight stay. Their home and backyard, and their own pet, made our dog very comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“Ximena took great care of my dog, Noodles, while my family was on vacation. She has a great backyard, took Noodles to the park for walks, and sent pictures and video updates while we were away so I knew my dog was happy and well taken care of. Noodles felt very comfortable with Ximena and her family. She can be anxious but she settled in easily and had fun playing with Ximena's dog Fluffy. Ximena is easy to talk to and friendly. I will be booking with her again!”
“Mariah took great care of our dog while we were on vacation! Our dog does not stay with sitters often and she worked with us and was very attentive to his needs. She was passionate and took pride in her work, she was also a great communicator! Thank you Mariah, and I would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Experience was great! My pug was not mad at me when I got there upon pick up! Sitter approved! By Louie🐕pictures and status of my pet 100%.. Will be taking Louie back we are very satisfied with the dedication Lianna provides to our pets. 😀”
“Allycia was great taking care of Luna for couple of days. Very nice and easy to talk to. She sent us pictures and information daily. Definitely will book with Allycia again. Thank you Allycia!”
“Exceptional dog sitter! This marks the second time she's cared for our two small dogs, and once again, she surpassed our expectations. She provided daily updates, along with photos. The genuine affection our dogs show for her speaks volumes. Her unwavering availability during our family emergency was a true comfort. She consistently goes above and beyond, making her the go-to choice for anyone in need of a caring and reliable pet sitter. Highly recommend her for a second time and beyond!”
“Jasmine and her family went above and beyond to make our dog Oreo feel comfortable in their family. They adapted their days to ensure Oreo gets enough exercise and love. They updated us regularly with pictures and videos and we could clearly see how happy Oreo was with them. We would definitely book Jasmine again as our pet sitter and we cannot thank her, Ed and the kids enough to make Oreo a family member.”
“Tamra did awsome with my adult cat and kitten! She was communicative, understanding, and patient with our girls. We also received photos and any important updates throughout their stay. Her place was clean as well. Your pets will be in great hands with her.”
“Ashley watched my puppy the first time we left him for an extended stay. She sent tons of pictures and he loved playing with her puppy. I feel comfortable leaving him with her anytime.”

“Brianna is an excellent sitter. She updated us on our dog everyday, not only through text messages, but with pictures as well. Our dog seemed happy to stay with her. Thank you Brianna, you are awesome!”
“Absolutely fantastic sitter and truly cares for the dogs she watches! My dog had a medical issue during boarding and she went above and beyond to change out his food and provide me updates. Couldn’t be happier”
“Selena was sweet and attentive to my boys. They had some separation anxiety as expected but I knew they were in good hands. She even sent pictures to let me know how they were doing.”
“Definitely a 5-star experience. Corinne was super responsive and answered all my questions that made me feel comfortable to book. I can definitely say this meet was meant to be. This was my first time leaving my pup, Chanel, with someone new - let alone a new place for several days. (She is super friendly, but since always with me, will cry if she sees me leave her.) As soon as we walked up to their home, Chanel was super curious and happy to go inside, greeting them both with such excitement. They both made me feel at ease. Their beautiful home was perfect for her - with a big bed, toys, and a nice and spacious back yard. I loved the several updates and pictures that were sent to me; it brought so much smiles to see Chanel being such a good girl, and being cared for like they did. I also loved the little report card they gave me at the end. I highly recommend Corinne and Louis, and will definitely book with them again if the opportunity allows. Thank you both so much!”
“Jeimy was great with our older fur baby! Very easy to communicate with and felt comfortable with her watching her for the weekend. Being our first time using rover we have nothing but great things to say.l and will using Jeimy in the future!”

Sabrina is absolutely amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure our pup was comfortable and had lots of love and attention when we boarded him for the day. She took the time to walk him , give him lots of outdoor time and followed his lead on what he needed . It is always a plus that she sent photos and gave us updates throughout the day. Thank you Sabrina , I highly recommend her !
Our dog Loki just spent a few days with Allycia and had a wonderful time! We received fantastic updates and photos the entire time we were away. Loki was relaxed, happy, and well cared for when we picked him up. We highly recommend Allycia and will definitely use her again!
gileen was amazing with my little guy, leo! she frequently kept me updated on his stay and sent many pictures throughout as well. leo had a great time! i also appreciated how welcoming and accommodating her home is to pets. i highly recommend gileen and will be booking with her again!!
This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever having someone dog sit for us, so we were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone new. From the very beginning, Marilyn made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She loved our dog like he was her own, and we could tell he was happy and well cared for. She sent us photos and videos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Our dog was so excited to be with her, and that really says it all! We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Rover. We would absolutely trust her with our pup again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog like family! ❤️🐶
Jillian was absolutely amazing, I received daily updates and photos of my baby dog. Prior to his boarding, Jillian provided us a tour of his suite and the layout. We also did a a consultation to make sure Maximus would feel comfortable. Everything went smoothly and Maximus absolutely adored Jillian. She took him out on outings and was always on alert taking care of him. They even had special play dates. She cooked special meals for him and made sure he felt safe at all times. I would 1000% hired Jillian to take of my baby dog.
We were nervous to leave our baby with someone other than our parents but he had a great time and Ness sent pictures and let me know he was doing great. By the end of trip I was nervous he wouldn’t want to come home because of how happy he looked with Ness and her dogs. Would definitely use again!
Infinity did another wonderful boarding for our Ghost (Alaskan Klee Kai). Last minute, she was able to take him in again and kept him safe, happy and secure. We have asked Infinity to watch him multiple times and I really can’t say enough positive things about her. Thank you again.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Norwalk is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $76 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Norwalk can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Norwalk home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Norwalk.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwalk. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Norwalk sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
