About: Hi! I've had gerbils, fish and dogs growing up, fostered ducks, snakes and guinea pigs and house sat for the occasional cat (and house plants). My current living situation doesn't allow for me to have pets, but I'd love to spend time helping take care of yours I'm taking a break from engineering to get my EMT certification. I'm available all the time until class starts in May, when I'll be spending the weekday mornings in class I can't host in my home, (roommates with pet allergies) but I'm happy to drive (or train or bus or walk) to see yours in their space.
“We just moved to Norwood and feel so lucky to have found Wendy! She is a wonderful dog walker who ensured our dog Timber had the best experience while I was traveling for work. Thank you Wendy! ♥️”
“Tara was great for weekly walks for our dog! She is very reliable, responsive and knowledgeable of dogs. Would highly recommend for dog walking in our area! We had a schedule change with WFH and no longer need standing weekly walks, otherwise would continue to use. Our dog loves Tara!”
“Meagan is fantastic! She is responsive and knowledgeable about all kinds of dogs and their personalities. My pups love her and are excited to see her for their walks. I give her 10 stars!!”
About: I've had dogs all my life, various breeds. Learned alot about them over the years. Have 3 dogs currently. I have given dogs medication before I look after dogs every single day all the time. I take care of my dogs needs first before my own so I know that they have everything they need on time and are happy and content. I care and treat other people's dogs as if they were my own and I treat mine as if they are family because they are. I would bring a leash to walk the dog if the owner doesn't have one, have doggie bags, safe dog treats, and during the hot months a little water dish and water in case the dog is thirsty. It's important to always be prepared.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I’ve had 5 dogs, two cats, and two ferrets total! My neighbors have relied on me to walk their dogs as well! I’m currently working a full time job with work days staring at 3, so mornings are filled with playtimes, along with checkups and walks after work. I would treat your animals the very best in your home. If you’re pets love to cuddle then that’s what I’ll do, if they prefer walks or play time I love both!!
“Bert has been extremely easy to set up our first walk and next home stay. He is always on time and super responsive. We feel very comfortable having him sit our dogs- thank you Bert!”
About: Hi! I’m Jenny, a nursing student and lifelong animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including my own senior husky, so I understand how important patience, attention, and a comfortable routine can be for every pet. I’m reliable, caring, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, lots of attention, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or instructions you have and provide plenty of updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable while your pet is in my care. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 Even though I have a pretty busy school schedule, I always make room for pets! I spend a lot of time studying, so I love having a furry study buddy nearby to keep me company. I’m happy to take study breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. Having pets around makes my day better, and I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and included in my routine. I care for every pet based on their normal routine and what makes them feel most comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks or playtime, and of course lots of attention and cuddles if they enjoy that! I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s medications, crate routines, potty schedules, or certain behaviors to watch for. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Kate did an amazing job walking our senior dog! She accepted our booking at a short notice and was very friendly and easy to work with. Our dog loves her. Highly recommend!”
About: Ive pet sit and dog walked in the past and love every moment of it. I have a 4 years old Maltipoo who is near and dear to my heart. I recognize and understand how important and nerve-wrecking it is to trust someone new with your pet. You can expect clear communication, compassion, and the same level of care and attention I’d want for my own dog. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and most importantly has fun. I’m currently dog walking Sunday:3-8pm Monday:11am-2pm Tuesday: 11am-4pm Friday:12pm-4pm Saturdays 4pm-8pm. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur friend. I shower my dog in love and attention he does have a routine gets plenty of exercise walks regularly.Essentially just provide him a safe and comfortable home environment
About: I got my first dog through the foster care system three years ago, and that experience completely changed the way I see dogs. Since then, I’ve come to appreciate the happiness, comfort, and companionship they bring to our often chaotic lives. I treat every dog with the same patience, care, and attention I’d want for my own. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to make each visit a positive experience so both you and your dog feel comfortable and confident in my care. There’s nothing quite like being greeted by a wagging tail and an excited smile, and I love being part of that happiness. As a full-time student, I have dedicated time each week for pet care and make reliability a priority. I’m available Tuesday and Thursday mornings, Wednesdays from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and weekends from the morning until 7:00 PM. I look forward to giving your dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is not a easy decision. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own by following your routine, prioritizing their safety, and giving them plenty of attention during every visit. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.
About: I have always loved being around animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I have 5 years of cat-sitting experience, and I also own two cats, so I understand how important patience, routine, cleanliness, and gentle attention are for cats. I’m comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving fresh water, playing, and making sure cats feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for dogs. My family has had a dog at my mom’s home for 8 years, and I’ve helped with daily care, feeding, walking, playtime, and basic routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always do my best to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I do vendor work, so my busiest time is usually on weekends. During the week, my schedule is more flexible, and I’m happy to accept weekday boarding or pet care requests. Because my work hours are flexible, I can make time throughout the day to check on pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I always try to create a calm, clean, and safe environment for every pet. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take time to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well.
About: I love all pups and will treat your fur babies as my own 🐾 I have been caring for big dogs since I was a child and have always had a love for them. I also have previous experience working at a doggie daycare, with dogs all breeds, ages, and sizes. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and will be home with your pups to follow their bathroom and feeding schedule and get lots of play time and cuddles while they’re in my care! I wake up around 7 am, feeding and bathroom routine, play time and walks throughout the day. I can also stick to any routine needed. There is currently one dog in my home, so I will only be caring for one additional dog at a time. My apartment complex has grassy areas for bathroom time, and I have plenty of room for your dog to play and rest. Neighborhood walks are also available.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
Michaela was a great walker for our dog! She was nice enough to come by for a meet and greet the day before and asked great questions. The day of the walk was quite hot and Michaela was attuned to our dog’s needs and even extended the walk so Navi could recuperate in the shade. We will definitely have Michaela help again!
Eliza has been walking my dog for over a year. She is punctual, great communicator, reliable and responsible. My dog absolutely adores her! He gets so excited when we tell her she’s walking him. She has also helped us when we needed dog services outside of our weekly walking schedule. I highly recommend Eliza for pet services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Norwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
