“We don’t like to leave our boy home alone if we’re going to be gone longer than a couple hours. Palma graciously came and hung out with him at our house, and everything worked out great! Thank you!!”
“Rook was great. Came over multiple times prior to housesitting so that we could make sure all the animals needs were met and to go over intricacies for our home. They were an attentive listener and proactive communicator. Pricing seemed fair and our home was the same as we left it when we returned. Cant ask for much more than that. I will definitely rehire them and you should consider hiring them if youre in need of a pet sitter.”
“It was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family for a long weekend away. She followed all of our instructions and sent us updates and pictures. She’s super kind and replies fast when messaged. The dogs absolutely adore her. Highly recommend!”
About: i’ve have many types of breeds. i currently have two border collies and love working with animals. i can’t wait to meet yours, im excited it’s in my everyday routine , i have a very hyper breed so they are very active. i wake up and my dog is the first thing i take of , and i do the same throughout the day. i make sure she’s taken care of before other things. i do what is more comfortable for the dog , if they are hyper i’ll play with them until they are tired. if they are calm dogs i’ll feed them and make sure they are cared for either way.
“Great experience with Matt! He watched out dog, Stella, for us while we were visiting Mammoth and was super reliable, flexible and very sweet with our dog. Highly recommend Matt if you’re in Mammoth!”
About: I've rescued and taken care of Animals for as long as I can remember and will care for your pets as if they’re my own. Please schedule drop offs and pick ups between 6 am and 6 pm. If you cannot pick up by 8 pm please book a sleepover. There’s a dog door that leads to the fenced back yard. I go outside with them to make sure they are safe. My home is only 600 sf so it’s easy to see everyone at all times! There are plenty of cozy spots for your dog to relax.
“Eden was so wonderful with our pets and their tricky meds schedule. She was communicative and caring when any issues with the pets came up. Eden even made extra time for us when a family emergency kept us out of town longer than expected. We're lucky to have found her!”
About: Hey! I have worked with animals for over 10 years from farm animals to fur babies. I’ve done pet sitting and foster for the majority of my life and it is a great passion of mine. I have also helped train numerous dogs in potty training, cage training and leash training. I am lucky enough to work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I am also available around holidays as well to help out when needed. I treat all animals as if they’re my own, a part of my family. I have multiple places within my home and outside of my home to create a safe place for your pet if they need down time, play or love.
“Once again, Faith gives above and beyond -/ sends photos of the babies, takes meticulous care of medications, leaves house spotless -- she is the best and we'd be lost without her.”
“Meg is an amazing dog sitter. she was the most caring and thoughtful, conscientious, and loving sitter. My dogs absolutely loved her and the neighbors all commented about how friendly and wonderful she was with the dogs. She left my house spotless. Cannot recommend Meg highly enough!”
About: Hi there! So nice to “meet” you! I am a highly responsible and skilled pet owner and would be grateful to share the love with your pets! I have been pet sitting and farm sitting for over a decade. I’m a lifetime horse girl and am comfortable sitting for any type of animal, including horse, donkey, chameleon, bunny, etc.! I am trained in first-aid and competed nationally in 4H competitions with a focus in animal care. I personally have a special needs cat and a geriatric dog, so custom routines don’t phase me! We have plenty of those in this home - lol! I am a graduate degree holder with an excellent work history. I aim to offer your pet the best care and I come with integrity, responsibility, and love. After a recent career change, I find myself with a far more flexible work schedule! I am currently working in childcare and homecare for one family here in CT. I do not have children of my own, so I do not need to build school drop offs/pick ups into my petsitting schedule. I live in New London but am able to commute! I have reliable transportation of my own, so getting to my destination is no issue whatsoever. I am currently working on obtaining my PhD online during the evenings, so I am available to spend infinite cuddle time in the evenings! Overall I am extremely flexible. Boarding at my home is not an option at this time as I have strict landlords. I have pet/farmsat in various settings. Some owners have had fenced yards and some have lived in cities where walks are mandatory for potty breaks. The setting doesn’t bother me, I can work with the owner on setting a schedule for the pet.
“Morgan Is Great I Highly Recommend Her If You Need Someone To Watch Over Your Fur babies!! She Did An Amazing Job And Also Kept Me Informed Daily With Pictures And Videos… Thank You So Very Much Morgan For Everything You Did To Make Sure My Furry Babies would be ok and safe!! I Wish I Could Give You 100 Star Rating Because You Went Above And Beyond For Us And We Appreciate More Than Words that”
“Emily was great! She came over to do a meet snd greet beforehand and yo personally go over their care. The dogs were very well cared for and Emily followed all instructions we left her. Will be using her again!”
“Lauren stayed at my house and watched my two dogs! I came back to happy and healthy pups. She was great at responding and sent many photo updates. Would absolutely use her again. Thanks lauren!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for years now. I have a senior dog of my own so I understand what it takes to take care of a pet. I currently work full time 9-5 but can fit drop ins into my schedule. I enjoy play time and cuddles! I have a senior dog of my own who requires more frequent walks, so I completely understand the need for multiple potty breaks !! I have a senior dog and a pitbull of my own who loves to be outside. We go for plenty of walks for exercise and many potty breaks! I like to follow a set feeding time but every pet is different.
“Here’s a clean, friendly short version that fits perfectly for a Rover review: ⸻ Leo and Desiree were amazing! They took incredible care of our dog Tikaani, who can be a bit sensitive when we’re away. They followed his routine perfectly, kept us updated, and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a spotless house. Truly outstanding sitters — we’d trust them again in a heartbeat!”
“Dina took such good care of our fur babies! We had no worries while on vacation and she checked in with photos (and dressed our pups up for Fourth of July too!) We lost power at our house on the last day, and Dina was fantastic at keeping us updated and making sure our pups were safe! 💞”
About: I'm currently the behavior manager for our dog team at Our Companions Animal Rescue. I work at our sanctuary where I manage a team of competent handlers and I work with reactive/aggressive dogs. I'm currently working on getting my CPDT. If you hire me, I promise your canine companion will receive the care, compassion, patience, and attention they deserve. I'm generally always free Sundays and Mondays. I do work full-time Tuesday to Saturday, so my availability is somewhat limited. I can provide my dog walking/activity assistance after 4pm on those work days, except Fridays. Due to my long history and experience working with dogs, I have the ability to read dogs very well to detect if they are anxious, fearful, or uncomfortable. My goal is to make sure your dog gets exactly what they need, whether it's a certain activity they enjoy, training they need, or a certain destination they love for their outdoor time. Positive reinforcement is the name of the game.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other animals since I was a little kid, and for others for about 5 years now. Whether it is training or just hanging out, your pets needs are always met. I work Monday through Friday , 8am - 5pm. I am able to be somewhat mobile during those days, specifically during the lunch hour! Weekends are normally free as well! Your pets safety and well being is my utmost concern, and with the years of experience under my belt, you can be rest assured that your pets are safe.
About: I have always loved dogs my entire life. My childhood dog I had at 4 years old I was never able to live with, he lived with my aunt. He passed in 2024 and I have been missing my dog time ever since. I do love cats as well (not as much as dogs obviously), but I live with two cats and they’ve been with me since I was 8! By the way the last 2 pictures are a Costa Rican cat and an Icelandic cat! I work full time with kids with autism, and that takes up every weekday 9am-6pm. I would be available on weeknights Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and weekends as well! I am willing to do whatever is needed for the pet! I haven’t cared for a dog in a couple years, but I can learn what is needed as long as you tell me what to do!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwich
Francis took in our two huskies upon last second request with genuine enthusiasm. All animals in need should be gifted a stay at her comfortable animal oasis. Many photos provided to us while we were away. In every instance, our animals both appeared extremely joyful. Very well done, and we hope to be involved again.
Rook was great. Came over multiple times prior to housesitting so that we could make sure all the animals needs were met and to go over intricacies for our home. They were an attentive listener and proactive communicator. Pricing seemed fair and our home was the same as we left it when we returned. Cant ask for much more than that. I will definitely rehire them and you should consider hiring them if youre in need of a pet sitter.
We were in a bind with a last minute cancellation and Becky was able to accommodate our request. She is quick to respond and is very attentive. She was patient with my pups as they warmed up to her and I'm pretty sure they have a new best friend. I highly recommend.
Emily stayed with our girls for the first time with short notice and we were lucky to find such a great sitter! They require medicine for seizures and a lot of attention being huskies. They were happy and healthy with Emily and we will certainly have her back with them in the future
Tirzah spend more than a week at our house taking care of our two rambunctious pups and our ducks. She was so nice to work with and was great at keeping us up to date on how our crew was doing. She stepped in and was not afraid of the work. She is so sweet and absolutely wonderful !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Norwich is $57 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $72 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Norwich 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 Norwich 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 Norwich 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.

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.
