“Emma was amazing! She kept me updated constantly on how my dog was doing and provided excellent care. I came home to a very happy dog. Very grateful for all her help!”
“Joanna was amazing! She's a great communicator, sent lots of pictures and took great care of the boys! She's neat and trustworthy and we will definitely have her back!”
“Kaitlyn was an excellent care giver and companion to my senior pup. Kaitlyn made wonderful suggestions and accommodations to Lacey’s diet. Lacey was well-loved. 🥰In addition, she was conscientious in ensuring the house stayed neat.”
“Amber was great! She stayed at the house with our three dogs over the holiday break. She was very responsive and sent daily pictures of our fur babies! She took good care of them, cuddled them, and was a great house guest. We definitely plan on using her again!”
“Katie was a great dog and house sitter for us for 15 days while we were out of the country. She has an innate way with animals and our Nova took to her right away. From the meet and greet until we were home, I never worried about Nova's wellbeing. I was able to leave everything in Katie's capable hands. She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out to her, both before and during our trip. I highly recommend her and will use her again myself.”
“Sophie watched our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were out of town, and was phenomenal! She was very communicative, and our animals loved her! It alleviates the stress of leaving when you know the animals and house are being taken care of. We would (and will) absolutely use her again!”
“Jorie arrived early, was very upbeat and positive and my little Maltese, Becca, was all over her with happy kisses. When I left for the afternoon and evening I felt confident that Becca was in good hands. I showed Jorie how to express my little pup's bladder and she took care of her, no problem though most vet techs are unable to accomplish this. I adopted Becca as she was recovering from severe abuse including a broken back and pelvis so I have to be very careful about her care. I like Jorie and I think you and your fur babies will, too.”
“Julia was amazing, flexible, respectful and professional. I will definitely use her again. We need up only needing her for about 7 hours but originally planned on 3-4 days not due to her. I look forward to having her back. Recommend her.”
“Jocelyn was wonderful with my two dogs and two cats! She was very accommodating to their needs and flexible with scheduling. She offered to stay when my trip got extended and communicated throughout! Also, the house looked great when I returned :). She will be my first pick!”
“Jessi was great. My dog really enjoyed her and her sweet dog. She took good care of my dog’s toenail that had been torn off. She made sure he wore his sock and washed his foot when necessary. One day they got sick and she got there quickly to take care of them, even though she was working.”
“Madison went above and beyond in every way. I cannot recommend her enough. She took such good care of our dogs while we were away, communicating throughout, and treated them like her own.”
“Kai did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. They are a bit needy and love to bark, but she kept me updated for the duration of her stay, and sent lots for photos to me. She left the house spotless, and nothing was out of place when I returned home. I will definitely be booking with her again. 5/5 stars!!”
“Donai did an amazing job caring for my babies! I have an eclectic mix of animals - a dog, a cat, and a bearded dragon. She came to meet everyone and really get to know them and their routines before her stay, and then provided updates throughout the weekend. I definitely recommend using Donai!”
“Gabriella is by far the best dog and house sitter we've had. After several disappointing experiences with other sitters, we had honestly started to lose hope. From the beginning, she was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. She arrived on time, followed all of our instructions for our dog, and it was clear she genuinely cared about doing a good job. We came home to a happy dog and a spotless house. We wouldn't hesitate to hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Tabitha did a great job with our four critters—2 cats, 2 dogs (1 senior). She stayed with them for a full week and made sure to send updates and photos. It was a relief to know that she was with them, especially during storms/Independence Day fireworks!”
“Olivia was great!! Great communication, sent pictures and videos of our pup and was so helpful with our last minute booking. Will definitely be booking again for future needs, highly recommend to anyone searching for a sitter.”
“Anna did an amazing job watching my dog, Pearl! She was very respectful, responded quickly to all of my messages, and kept me updated throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing Pearl was in such caring and reliable hands. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I'd be happy to book with her again!”
“Catherine was great with our pups! She saved us in a pinch and booked us last minute so we could make our concert! She was very tentative when we gave her instructions and had no issues bonding right to our 3 babies. If we are ever in Louisville again and need our pups watched, she will be our first call! We also got video and picture updates the entire time we were gone! Top tier service!”

Stephanie is amazing! She not only took exceptional care of our two high energy pups but is also extremely in tune with pet behavior. She gave me knowledgeable insights into how the dogs act and play together which will help immensely with their training. I can't recommend her enough- you won't be disappointed!
I couldn't have asked for a better house and pet sitter than Madison! She took care of my home and dog for two weeks, and everything was absolutely perfect. Communication was seamless—I received timely updates and plenty of photos that completely set my mind at ease while I was away. Not only was my dog happy and in great shape when I returned, but Madison also went above and beyond, helping water the plants and tidying up the house. Madison is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, and professional. I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!
This was my second time booking with Lauran, and once again she was absolutely wonderful! Having someone I can trust with my two cats gives me so much peace of mind while we're away. She kept me updated with photos and messages, made sure my cats were well cared for, and even managed to earn the trust of my very shy cat, which says a lot! It's clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!
Madison was excellent. She helped us out with both our dog and cat with a very last minute request. She was very responsive and easy to work with and clearly has a lot of pet experience. I had zero hesitation leaving her with the house and the pets. As expected, the furry kids were happy and the house was in perfect order upon our return. I will definitely reach out to Madison again!
Asher was incredible! She cared for my pup, Leo, while I was away, and her care was simply outstanding. She was so thoughtful and engaged. She sent frequent updates, adorable photos, and left my home spotless. Knowing Leo was in such caring hands made my trip even more enjoyable. It’s clear she has a gift for this, and Leo adored her. I am immensely grateful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Norwood on Rover is $40.13 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 749 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Norwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Norwood 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 Norwood 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 Norwood 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 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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
