“Rachel is awesome, she went above and beyond for me the past 3 weeks and I could not have found a better person to care for my baby and be so easy going with my unpredictable schedule. Highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Does a great job with Titus and making him feel welcomed and showed me around to let me know where he would be. Very welcoming and loving towards all the animals there!”
“Gabriella is wonderful and took great care of our Husky, Moose. She sent tons of pictures of him and Yeti playing, running, and playing some more. Yeti was great with Moose, and he has another friend to play with!”
“Robin was great! Our Ani loved her. She was organized and ready for her and flexible with changing timing of drop-off and pick-up. Nice communication throughout with a picture update per day.”
“Jared and Waverly were great with our dogs, and even managed to get my curmudgeon named skittles to positively interact with a couple older dogs! They were flexible and understanding of my changing schedule, as we were on a road trip and only needed help for a few hours. If I’m ever in Louisville with the doggos again I’d contact them straightaway”
“Tina was great! This was our first time with a new rover in a new city. She was very communicative, sent great photos, and flexible on a last minute booking. Her home has a great yard for a pup to roam. I would definitely book with her again. Felt very safe leaving our dog with her and her family :)”
“Stephen and Angela provided daycare for about 2 weeks for my pup. They took great care of him and were very understanding with schedule changes. I would recommend them!”
About: Hi, I’m Shelbee—your pet’s next favorite human (and hopefully your go-to sitter, too)! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog loves long walks and endless games of fetch or your cat prefers quiet company and chin scratches, I’m happy to meet them where they’re are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel stressful because I’d feel the same way! That’s why I focus on making the experience as easy and reassuring as possible. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and honest communication, so you’ll never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I’m reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, so I’ll happily stick to your pet’s routine, administer basic care exactly as instructed, and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. My goal is simple: for you to leave feeling completely confident, and for your pet to have so much fun they can’t wait for my next visit. I can’t wait to meet you both! 🐾 I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which makes me available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and always aim to be dependable, communicative, and on time. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a walk, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby is a big decision, so I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and cared for.
“Jewels was amazing with Mya and this was our first time getting a sitter and she eased my mind with leaving her. Mya had the best time and came home so happy!”
About: Hello! You can call me Wendy. I’m a tenured physics professor and a lifelong animal lover. I currently have three cats of my own and many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience caring for senior pets and understand the importance of routines, medication schedules, and paying close attention to changes in behavior and health. I’m patient, reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away. For pets boarding in my home, I understand that some pets may be more comfortable having their own space. If you prefer, I can keep my three cats completely separate from your pet for the entire stay, so your pet can relax in a safe, quiet environment. As a professor, I bring professionalism, responsibility, and strong communication to every pet-sitting job. My schedule is especially flexible during evenings, weekends, holidays, and university breaks. Whether you need house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, or care for senior pets, I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Jon was terrific at taking care of my baby he gave me regular updates and comforted during his anxiety during a storm I would definitely use him again when I need to.”
“Suki had a great time! Mariah was very sweet and texted immediately whenever I was being a nervous Nelly and checking in on my pup. Suki came home and went straight to sleep so I count that as a win!”
“Kimba had a great time with Kaitlyn. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Kaitlyn is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Kaitlyn. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”
About: I cared for (and spoiled) many relatives' pets when they went on vacation through the years. I also lovingly cared for my elderly parents for over a decade. I am a creative and crafty person, and I enjoy painting, sewing, and gardening. Being home most of the time, I would enjoy the company of furry friends! I only use natural cleaning solutions in my home; pets are provided filtered water. Common sense safety precautions that would be taken with any pet or with small children are implemented.
“From first hello, Sean was gentle with Winnie, who can be nervous around new men. He was so thorough and professional in communicating with us and was completely flexible with our return time, as we tooled around Louisville to see the sights. We could not have felt more secure knowing Sean was looking after our girl (and walking her down to the Ohio River was just icing on the cake). Recommend Sean highly!!!”
“Meg took care of our 16 weeks pup, Sumo without any trouble. Not only that, I think Sumo had a great day at her place running around, and playing with Meg's dog. Communication with Meg was perfectly smooth. Very fast respond and flexible. We are glad we leave Sumo with her.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 306 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Norwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Norwood commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 KY 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 306 sitters in Norwood, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
