“Sarah and her family took amazing care of Kilo from 9/12 to 9/14. They were incredibly accommodating and flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process stress-free. It is clear they are experienced dog handlers. They gave us total confidence by effectively managing dog dynamics from the very start and knew exactly when to separate the pups to keep everyone safe and happy. Their fenced yard was perfect for secure outdoor playtime. On top of that, Sarah and her family were incredibly hospitable and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Millie absolutely loved her time with Larisa and Daisy! Larisa made sure to keep me updated on their daily adventures and send lots of pictures. Millie took multiple trips to the beach and walks at the bogs. We are very happy with the service and support Millie received while staying the weekend 😊 We will definitely reach out again for any pet sitting needs!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! This family truly love animals and treat them like family. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Thank you so much for bandits visit! Sarah and Ben are fantastic dog sitters that were very accommodating. Bandit seemed to really love his time there and didn’t want to come home from his vacation.”
“Tianyue was great. she was very flexible at dropping off and picking up time. she gave me a daily summary of sansa’s activities. she also sent me a lot of pictures and video. i highly recommend her. i would use her service again.”
“Nick is an outstanding dog sitter! He played with Chili, was extremely king and patient with him, and kept me informed about Chili’s behavior! Nick sent me pictures of Chili resting on the bed, Chili playing with his dog, and the food and water bowls for the two dogs! Chili required medication and Nick gave it to him carefully each day. I think Nick is the greatest, and I will be careful to choose him the next time I need a dog sitter!”
“Daniella is the best!!!!! She’s so flexible and easygoing, has excellent communication, and she was so sweet and awesome with our elderly dog, Olive. Absolutely will be booking her again!!!”
“Kristen and Timothy were great with Poppy. From all the pictures they sent, you can see she was having so much fun! Will definitely use them again!”
“Dana was really good with my dog. He was patient and kind as my dog adjusted to his new environment. He introduced my dog to new dogs cautiously and did not force any interaction. He updated me daily on how my dog was doing and my dog was very content and happy. Thank you Dana!”
“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”
“Grigorii was fabulous with our dog. He took great care of her even when she wasn't feeling the best during a heat wave. In addition, he was communicative and easy to work with. I would definitely board our dog with him again!”
“Another weekend boarding experience with Casey that we could not be happier about! Our dogs now RUN UP the stairs to Casey's place in excitement and we felt so at ease leaving them. We had very spotty service during the weekend at where we were, but we knew that our dogs were being cared for the best they could be (spoiled, really!) and gave us zero worries. Thank you, thank you, Casey.”
“Life got very chaotic very quickly with a family emergency, we were at odds what to do with Sara since she could not go with us. Luckily, Maghan and her family was able to take her, It was like leaving Sara with a trusted family member, the daily photos we were sent made the stress of having to leave her dissolve, I felt she was on vacation and extremely well taken care of.”
“While we were away on vacation for a week, Tippy had his own little vacay with Elliot and Jo! They frequently sent us photos of him at the park, the beach, and even on a little road trip! As always, Tippy had a fabulous time, and I think we ended up missing him more than he missed us, haha! Thanks again for taking good care of him! :)”
“This was our first time with Karin. We were completely pleased with her services. Our 1year old mini Goldendoodle was well taken care of during her 10 day stay. She interacted well with Karin’s dog and family. Karin sent many pictures of our dog daily which we looked forward to each day. We would not hesitate to have Karin board our dog in the future.”
About: Bio is underneath but first what to expect from me when you book the following services: Dog Walk: depending on your needs and likes, I will walk your dog(s) in your neighborhood or take them somewhere else if preferred.

BIO I have been a pet owner since I was a kid and have always been helping neighbors with their pets by walking their dogs for the elderly neighbors, caring for bunnies or cats and helping brush horses and moving them to pasture in my neighborhood growing up in Germany. I have been a dog, cat, and chicken owner for a while, and we even have a rabbit, and adopted a leopard gecko at some point. I am also a wife, mom of 4 kids and enjoy home making/ and a lot of home steading here on our micro farm. Staying at home and being available to my kids is priority. I am luckily they share my love for animals. I am a long time U.S. resident (since 2007), and have been raised in Germany. My English is fluent, and I have been told that I don't have an accent anymore, so communicate is definitely not an issue. I would love to care for your little furry (or not so furry) pet, may it be checking in for a feed or potty break, overnight stay, or a relaxing or vigorous walk. I am looking forward to meeting you! I am stay at home mom and have a lot of flexibility when it comes to stepping out to visit your furry friend. All I ask is to have notice and be respectful of my time and schedule. And I will reciprocate this of course! I am flexible and cater to anybody's unique needs. As long as I have ample notice and frequent communication. I am happy to send pictures and text messages during a visit/feeding if so desired. Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norwell
Jennifer and Matt's house has become a home away from home for our sweet boy Ollie. He even has a favorite "spot" where he likes to hang out. Jennifer and Matt send photos every day, usually multiple times a day - and when I've expressed concerns over Ollie feeling at ease they take care to send me photos of him walking or playing. I always feel very comfortable leaving Ollie with them.

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 Norwell 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 Norwell 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 Norwell.
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 Norwell. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 Norwell 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 MA 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.
