“Debbie and Kirk are the best! They were so accommodating when we had to start boarding earlier because our flights got changed. Our dog Nala loves them and is always happy to stay there. Thanks so much.”
“Wendy and her family took excellent care of my dog Bella. Prior to boarding, Wendy was very thorough in asking questions to understand Bella’s needs and quirks to make sure she would feel at home in Wendy’s house. Wendy provided photo updates and was extremely responsive throughout the stay. Never a doubt Bella wasn’t being treated like a member of Wendy’s family.”
“Sarah was so wonderful all around -easy to communicate with, flexible, and clearly took such good care of my dog. Got photo updates through my dog's stay, it was obvious she loved staying with Sarah and her family!”
“It was totally comforting to have Lucy stay with Whitney and her husband. They were very nurturing, and very flexible with my timing. Lucy had a wonderful time there, and they treated Lucy like she was one of her own.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Julie! She took care of my two dogs for a week while I was away for work, and she was absolutely wonderful. She sent me photos and videos every day, keeping me updated on how my pups were doing, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear they were happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love and attention. My dogs are like my children, and I felt completely confident leaving them in her care. I came home to two very content pups and a clean, well-cared-for home. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person to take care of their pups! Thank you Julie!”
“Audrey was so amazing with our dog! He is quite high energy and came home happily exhausted after an event-filled weekend with her. She is very attentive and takes such great care of her dog and others. 10/10!!”
“Kim was so wonderful and helped us out in a pinch with very little notice. Bos was so well cared for and content with her and we really appreciated her frequent updates with pictures. We’ll definitely work with Kim again.”
“We had a great experience with Bridget! Our dog settled in quickly and had a great stay. Bridget sent many updates showing us pictures of our pup enjoying the outdoors and snoozing inside. We look forward to having our dog stay with Bridget in the future!”
“My doggy Mushroom had an awesome time with Minglu and Yilun! They were super communicative and I got tons of photos. They followed all my instructions and took great care of my girl. They have their own very friendly doggies and my pup got along with them very well. Super happy and would totally leave my girl with them again. Thanks!”
“Alyson was amaze balls. I got daily updates she alerted me to anything she deemed out of the ordinary with Tuna. He loves Alyson and her Daughter! Would recommend wholeheartedly”
“Alexandra was great to communicate with and her home and yard were perfect for my dog. She was friendly and shared photos of my very happy dog during his stay. We will definitely use Joseph and Alexandra again!”
“I got so many pictures with my puppy playing with other dogs at parks she did a really good time. Paula is a nice woman and have a lovely kids who took care of Mocha and I will be back again for sure!”
“We have used many sitters for our dog, and Casey was at the top! She took excellent care of our boy while on vacation. Thank you Casey! We definitely recommend her and will dial her in the future.”
About: Hello! My name is Ellie. I am a passionate and dedicated pet lover, and I would be thrilled to care for your dogs and cats! I live in a spacious home with a yard, making it a safe and comfortable environment for hosting pets. Whether it's overnight boarding at my home, daily dog walking, or drop-in visits for your cats, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with lots of love, attention, and care. I share my home with two friendly small dogs (a French Bulldog and a Pomeranian) and a senior spayed cat (FIV negative). They are very calm and used to having other pets around! Please note: I am a native French speaker and my English is still at a beginner level. However, I am very responsive via text message (using translation apps), and I always make sure communication is clear and smooth regarding your pet's needs and routines. Why choose me? Spacious home & yard: Plenty of space to relax and play safely. Friendly companions: My pets love making new animal friends! Daily updates: I will send you regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. Attentive care: I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and house rules. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Feel free to send me a message. Pets are my main focus every single day! Apart from just two hours a day dedicated to a side project, my schedule is completely free and flexible. My daily routine is built around animal well-being: morning play and yard time, regular walks, structured feeding schedules, constant supervision, and lots of cuddle sessions. Having full control of my day allows me to adapt entirely to your pet’s needs, routines, and habits without any rush. Pets receive 24/7 attention in a safe, loving environment. They have free access to a large yard for play and bathroom breaks, along with a comfortable indoor space to relax. I supervise all interactions, maintain their regular feeding schedule, and make sure they feel at home alongside my friendly pets. At your home (Drop-in visits & Walks): For drop-ins, I ensure your pet is fed, has fresh water, a clean litter box or yard break, and plenty of quality attention and affection. For walks, I tailor the pace and route to your dog's energy level, prioritizing safety and fun. After every service, I send clear updates with photos so you always have peace of mind!
“Dana and Nia took great care of our puppy. He came back exhausted from all of the playing he had done over the weekend! They were very communicative, sending updates at least once a day, and even let us change our pickup time to be more convenient for us. This was our first time using Rover and it was such a relief to not have to worry about our pup while we were away.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Norwood is $62
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
Whitney and David have been our favorite dog sitter for our dog Mia. They are always very gentle and patient with her. I really appreciated Whitney’s extensive phone call + questionnaire with us before her first visit with them where she learned all of Mia’s behaviors and things to look out for. They took the time to really get to know our shy pup, and they treated her with kindness and understanding every visit. Not once did we worry about Mia’s wellbeing when we left her with them and she always returned to us happy and playful!
Debbie took great care of our dog, Sam recently. She has such a sweet and calm nature that put Sam at ease and she shared pics of Sam so we could see how he was doing. I was really impressed that she even played one of Sam’s favorite games with him, which I know made Sam happy as it did us as well.
Lauren was awesome! She made sure Archie felt comfortable the second he arrived and allowed him time to adjust to his new environment. Her and her family walked Archie, provided lots of attention to him, and he had the added bonus of playing with their dog Ollie. You can tell they really cared for him. Highly recommend.
My dog Bhalu was very happy living with Giovanni his dog -Neron as well his family. In fact he learned a lot from Neron. They played at their backyard and became friends. Giovanni poured out tremendous love on Bhalu. I would recommend anyone who wants boarding for their dog to go to Giovanni.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,415 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Norwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Norwood sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Norwood landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Norwood 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 Norwood.
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.
You and your Norwood 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.
