“We set up a drop in before having Clowee stay with our two Great Danes for the weekend. She was wonderful — she was warm, great with our two dogs, and she has experience with animals who need medication. Our dogs got on well with her right away—she asked great questions and was very open to caring for two high maintenance pups. We can’t wait for her to stay with them.”

About: I have been working with and loving dogs for as long as I can remember! I’m responsible, patient, and dedicated to keeping every pet happy, safe, and loved I’m currently a college student and have a good amount of availably especially in the afternoons.

About: Hi! My name is Lily, and I’m a college student who absolutely loves animals. I’m responsible, dependable, and will care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to help. I’m patient with animals of all ages and personalities, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust while you’re away. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I’m definitely a busy body but not too much ;) I currently work at Carl Methodist hospital as a CNA and I also work at a bridal boutique in Lincoln, Illinois where I sell homecoming prom and wedding gowns. I am currently in college going into my sophomore year and I will have class on Thursday Friday and Saturday and that will take up at least three hours of those days. I’m very confident with my time management skills and will never take on too much. I hope you’ll consider me! I will try my best to fulfill every request needed to care for your animals and any in-home needs related to them. I take pride and what I do and do it all to the best of my ability.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat pets as members of the family, not just animals I’m watching. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, including shy or nervous dogs who need extra patience to build trust. I’m attentive to details, follow routines closely, and understand how important consistency is for a pet’s comfort and well-being. Because I care for my own dogs daily, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels and communicating concerns promptly. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting each pet’s individual needs and boundaries. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while their owners are away, and for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving personalized care. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I have two dogs, so I’m used to feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, monitoring behavior, and making sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also stay on top of things like cleaning up after them, maintaining their routine, and watching for any signs that something might be off. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting pet care into my day feels very natural. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and playtime. I provide a safe, clean, and supervised environment where pets receive plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I closely monitor their behavior, appetite, and energy levels and will follow any instructions regarding medications, dietary needs, or special care. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they are in my care.

About: Everything is negotiable as far as how many pets, how many days or weeks involved, accommodation needed etc. so please message me if you have any questions. I prefer to house sit at your home but, again, I can be flexible! Im pretty empathetic towards animals so I’m aware that they need love, attention, and to be movin’, movin’! I work 3-4 days a week and go in at 4pm and I can get out anywhere from 10pm-12:30am. Checking in with your pet would be my first priority as soon as I got off of work. I will make sure doors, fences, crates (if used) are locked. Dog is always on leash when outside and constant monitoring of whereabouts as needed. Pets provide the best photo ops so expect a lot of updates and funny flicks ^-^

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life. I first started with chickens when I was growing up and now I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, etc. around 4 years ago I first started a job as a kennel assistant where I would do feedings, lets outs, and even one-on-ones for the dogs/cats that were boarding. I’ve worked in daycare during my time as a kennel assistant as well where I had to determine demeanors and personalities of the dogs attending. 2 years ago I went into the medical side of animal care and became a Veterinary Assistant. I’m now in school to become a Veterinary Technician and eventually to become a Vet. I know how to tell when something is wrong with an animal and am able to do the things necessary to help I work full-time currently Monday-Wednesday, and I’m off on Thursdays. Then I work Fridays and am off weekends. On weekdays I have an hour break so I am able to do the let outs I need to during this time. If I am doing at my house care, the first thing I would do is have a meet and greet with my dogs and go from there to make sure they are compatible to stay at my home. If we are doing at my clients house, I would still like to do meet and greets beforehand so I can get to know your animal better. Once that is all done, I would like to know the rules and regulations for feeding times, let out times, and any medical needs that are needed. Dog walking I can only do Thursdays, and weekends but there are a few things I would like to know beforehand. Just the basics on how they do when other dogs are around, what to watch out for, and if there are any rules the dog needs to keep up with.

About: I have grown up with dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I have a special place in my heart for all of them. I currently share my home with one Great Dane and four kitties (all rescues!) I am here to help on weekday evenings, holidays, and weekends. My home has a dedicated room for cat boarding and my goal is to be safely equipped for dogs soon! I have house sat for many families and their pets throughout my life, have volunteered at and donated to local shelters, and have been a contributing member of the ASPCA and WWF for 10+ years. A “fun fact” about me is that I was featured in the National Geographic World magazine in 1999 for raising money and awareness about both local and national animal welfare needs 🩷 I work approximately 15 minutes from my home and utilize lunchtime (NLT 12:00 PM) to check on the pets. My schedule is typically Monday-Friday one week then Monday-Thursday the next week (alternating) and am home by 4:15 PM each day. I work two weekends out of every three month period and have all federal holidays off. My home has a small bedroom that is set up for cats 🐈 to enjoy, with more to come. Their room includes a scratching post seated under a window, tons of toys, and an automatic litter box connected to my phone so that I can always monitor it (two large stainless steel litter boxes or a Breeze pellet system are also available, if preferred). There is also a camera in your room for an extra set of eyes! You will have stainless steel food, drinking fountain (stainless steal bowls available, if preferred), a large pet bed, soft blankets , treats - only if allowed - and plenty of other options depending on your kitty’s needs and preferences. My cats have their own spacious, separate area set up downstairs. They are all friendly, altered, and vaccinated (records available upon request). My dog 🐶 is house trained and vaccinated as well. Though he loves everyone, especially kitties, your fur baby will stay in their own room for everyone’s safety and comfort. Floors, litter boxes, and food/water bowls are sanitized daily. The closest vet is approximately 15 minutes away and the Peoria County emergency vet is around 25 minutes from my home. I am happy to provide additional information, photos, and references upon request.

We set up a drop in before having Clowee stay with our two Great Danes for the weekend. She was wonderful — she was warm, great with our two dogs, and she has experience with animals who need medication. Our dogs got on well with her right away—she asked great questions and was very open to caring for two high maintenance pups. We can’t wait for her to stay with them.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Norwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Norwood is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $21 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 218 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Norwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwood. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
