“Tara is amazing. She’s dropped in twice now with my dog. We had all sorts of issues with the garage door opener and she figured it out so that I didn’t have to rush home to let her in. (Totally my issue). She is also great with the dog. Nice long walks and lots of pictures”
“Jing is awesome! Very communicative and flexible if our schedule changes, which happens with the weekly drop ins she does for us. She is reliable and great with our dog. Would recommend Jing to anyone looking for dog care.”
“Ani was great! I have two dogs with very different energy levels and she was able to accommodate them. She even brought treats and cleaned my dogs eye boogers for him.”
“Boning was super responsive and was sure to send pictures of the kitties every day! This was our longest trip away to date but we weren’t stressed knowing that Boning was there to take care of everything. Will definitely book again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have raised a rescue german shepherd and her rescue little brother. I’m experienced dealing with reactive dogs on walks and in various settings. I have a lot of patience to work with puppies, and I have a soft spot in my heart for senior dogs. I work from home and have a flexible schedule which is perfect for going out on walks and playtime! I like to go on short runs and would love to bring your dog with me for some exercise. I live at home with my parents with access to a great nature walk and a large backyard. I’m happy to bring your dog out and about in your neighborhood or mine!
“Calvin was so kind and caring to our girls. He was also great to work with! He was great with communication and sent lots of pictures and updates. Would love to rebook in the future.”
About: I’ve shared my home with dogs and cats my entire life, rescuing pets of all ages from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has a unique story, and I make it a priority to train every pet I bring into my home. This hands-on experience has taught me a massive amount about patience, adaptability, and animal behavior. More than anything, it has given me a deep sense of compassion and a real knack for connecting with animals. I love bringing that structure and care to their lives, and I'm excited to bring that same dedication to this role. I offer in-home pet care tailored to your pet's exact schedule. I work full-time at a school, I am available for quick drop-ins on weekday evenings. I have open availability on weekends to give your pet all the time and attention they need. I offer personalized in-home pet sitting and drop-in check-ins tailored to your pet's unique needs. Your pet's comfort is my top priority, which is why I strictly follow their established feeding and exercise to maintain their normal routine while you are away.
“Bert was so accommodating and communicative… as a new Rover user, he really put me at ease having someone in my home! My cat is nervous with strangers but he assured me she was eating and drinking and nothing abnormal in the litter box… did everything he could to ensure she was good and I felt comfortable.”
“We are very pleased to have Michael helping us with our two dachshunds. Michael is very reliable and has quickly formed a bond with our little guys, allowing them to feel comfortable and safe. He’s an excellent communicator and keeps us up to date on exactly how they did. We feel extremely fortunate to be working with Michael.”
About: I’ve had a dog for over 9 years now and have experience sitting other dogs for over 3 years now. I am looking to provide exceptional care and love for all kinds of dogs I am a recent college graduate with plenty of free time on my hands. When I am not free, I am either golfing, hanging with my friends, or traveling. I care for dogs by making them feel comfortable while their owner is away, by making them feel loved, and by entertaining them, whether that be a walk, fetch, etc.
“Lindsay was the perfect companion for my puppy! They were fast friends, and I truly appreciated Lindsay’s attention to detail when it came to her care. Lindsay was absolutely wonderful as a sitter and I hope we can do another play date soon!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 13 years old. I gained experience through having my own pets at home as well as providing loving care for other families. I have a 14 year old Pomeranian Maltese Mix and a 4 year old cat. I can help with things like pet sitting, dog walking, feeding, playtime, giving plenty of love and attention, etc. I am working part-time, but during my free time I’d love to help care for pets because I’ve always had a love for animals and can give them the care they need to be happy and healthy! When I care for my own dog at home, I enjoy taking him for walks in areas away from too many cars like neighborhoods or dog parks (with his leash on) so that he has plenty of space to roam around and can meet other friendly dogs!
“Mike did a great job doting on our very neurotic cat. He managed to slip a pill into her food every morning, and stayed around for a bit so she could get a "second breakfast" afterwards. He even got to pet her occasionally, something only a very select few can say! Fountains were kept filled, cat box was clean, and bowls weren't overflowing with stale, dried up food. Definitely recommend!”

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.
Courtney is such a thoughtful and wonderful sitter! She checked on our cat and took care of him while we were gone for 3 weeks. She was thorough and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for and kept us posted so we could have a nice vacation knowing he was in good hands. Thank you Courtney!
Ella took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. Ella was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals, our cats were happy, relaxed, and well fed the whole time. Ella sent updates and photos and a video, which put our minds at ease. Highly recommend Ella for anyone needing a trustworthy, caring cat sitter!
Ani was amazing with our elderly cat Karina. I didn't need to worry at all during our trip because Karina warmed up to her immediately which she rarely does with unfamiliar people. Ani was extremely conscientious and thorough in her care and made sure that our elderly girl was relaxed and content with massages and plenty of love and attention. Thank you so much, Ani.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Norwood is $36 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 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 November 2026, there are 11,462 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwood. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
