About: i have three cats of my own who i love more than life itself. i grew up taking care of my own dogs, neighborhood and family friends dogs. Ive also had the pleasures to pet sit for multiple families these past years. i plan to provide more than just your typical pet care, i value building relationships, trust and respecting boundaries. i currently work a 32 hour work week, so i have quite a few days completely free. I’m available after 4pm wed-sat, and am available all day and night sun-tues. I am a firm believer in treating other people, their homes, pets, and belongings the same way i would want myself, and my home to be treated.
“Abigail was great, very responsive and accommodating with my last minute request! Will definitely use her again in the future to check in on my cat while I’m away :)”
About: I am experience with caring for several types of dogs and cats in size and breed. I have cared for multiple dogs at the same time and meeting their needs at any age. My greatest strength is my patience and my willingness to communicate with your pets to ensure a working relationship that is based on love and care. I work remotely at home, and I am happy to take breaks to care for pets in between my work. I am flexible with early morning walks to late evening strolls. I love walking through parks and working at pet friendly cafes. I am transparent with my work. Working at clients home is something I understand that must be rooted in trust and care. I respect people's property and schedule to the best of my ability. I am actively aware of the need for communication, and I place that trait above all.

My schedule is very flexible so I can work mornings or overnights with your dog I will be sure to show all dogs lots of love and if asked I can have your dog crated in your house.

About: My family has owned dogs my entire life, so I have taken care of my own pets. I have also had experience with watching friends, families, and neighbors dogs since I was in high school! My sister volunteers for multiple dog shelters and has fostered for a couple years now. Being around and learning from her experiences I have acquired skills in how to care for all pups of all breeds and sizes. I currently work full time during the week in Project Management. However, I am willing to work together and be flexible in order to care for your pets when needed! My availability during the week includes early mornings, and late afternoons with the ability to stop in for a quick visit during lunch. Weekends I am completely flexible and ready to help out! I prefer to feed, play, and care for your pets in your home, as well as take dogs for daily walks when needed! I love to make your pets feel loved while you are away!
“I'm very thankful for Wanda because I was away overseas and my previous sitter had to cancel.. this was not a situation any pet parent should ever be put through and I was able to get ahold of Wanda who came to the rescue even without me being there to show her the procedure for taking care of my 2 cats. (Granted, I had a Youtube video giving an overview of the process and I gave her the codes to my lockbox and my home alarm which all went smoothly.)”
“Dakota was great with my goldendoodle Sasha He was super responsive and accommodating, went above and beyond, and kept me up to date with every visit. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Kat did a wonderful job taking care of our two siamese cats. They are really needy, but were in great spirits when we got back. Kat was always on time and sent plenty of pictures while we were away. The food area and litter boxes were spotlessly clean and so was our apartment.”
About: Ive taken care of personal, family and neighbors dogs and cats since very young. Ive also rescued cats since 9 years old. I have taught some of them basic tricks! I work a very flexible job and can fit in 3-4 hours from Wednesday -Sunday! I am also free to pet sit all day Friday through Sunday. I have a fenced yard and treats at home and will crate if needed. While at your home, I am happy to follow the owners instructions and be wary of the dogs directive.
“We’re so grateful to Allyson, especially since today we had a last minute thing come up and weren’t sure we’d find a reliable Rover in time. But she immediately responded and came through and had a nice walk with Clare!”
About: My family and I have raised 11 guide dogs for the blind. I have seen first hand the training that goes into making these dogs service animals in their first year and a half of life. During this time, I became known in my small hometown as the go-to animal sitter when family and friends would go on vacation. I'm currently working part-time and would like to do this full-time once I'm able to gain a clientele. I'm committed to providing exceptional animal care for those that need it. I have 3 cats myself so I will be doing my services outside of my apartment. If need be, my cats have been around dogs before so it wouldn't be a problem if your furry friend needed to come here for a bit!
About: I have owned pet dogs my entire life, but have become very involved in dog sports and training as an adult! I love teaching dogs of all ages new skills while keeping their minds and bodies fit and happy. Currently competing in scentwork/nose work, FastCat and training for competition obedience. ✨Ask about my puppy tutor program! ✨I have young, older and handicapped dogs in my current pack, and I enjoy them all! I love working with young dogs and dogs who are still working on their training/manners, but I have a soft spot for seniors. Whether we're going for a walk or hanging out for a weekend, your pup will come home smiling. I work from home full time with flexible hours, so I am available for a variety of walking and sitting services. Weekdays and weekends are available. My dogs thrive on a predictable schedule, including daily training, enrichment and exercise (with plenty of snuggles!). We make sure to balance rest time with active time so everyone stays feeling their best.

We would’ve left more stars if possible just for peace of mind alone! Tessa was attentive, caring and made each interaction smooth and stress free. Lola looked happy in all the updates and coming home she was in great shape. We absolutely would recommend Tessa and look forward to continue working with her many more times in the future.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Norwood is $39 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $56 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 October 2026, there are 10,995 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
