We definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve walked/sat for dogs since I was a kid. I’ve grown up with a dog and now have my own at the age of 25 I am in Norwood living with my partner and looking for work, I decided to put a profile together and take care of pets to earn some money in the mean time. They’re allowed all the free play space in the open living area. Lots of space to run around. We’re close to a field for fetch and walks and I am more than happy to drive to a fenced in dog park. I have a vehicle and can drive to your home as well to hang out in the pets home if need be. I trained my dog by myself she is very responsible. She is energetic but kind and cuddly. She knows how to sit, come, stay, play dead, sit pretty, give paw, and loves fetch
“Elizabeth is a very reliable sitter. She shared photos throughout the service time and our cats always looked very comfortable. We have hired her before and will definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Great experience. Easy communication. I received a photo(s) each day of my cat which showed me he was comfortable with her day one, and updates on how he was doing.”
“MAEGAN is the BEST!!! I would recommend her for any animal! She is very passionate about her job and is so trustworthy! She kept me updated every day!! THANK YOU MAEGAN and I will be calling you for our next trip!!!”
“It was fantastic to meet Ani and we felt extremely comfortable with leaving our senior and rather needy pair of cats in her care while we were away. Ani super patiently reviewed all of their details with us in advance and clearly showed that she has lots of experience working with animals with special needs/medical issues. On the actual day of the drop-in, Ani was super communicative, gave us lots of details about how everything was going, managed complex feeding instructions with ease, and sent us a bunch of awesome photos, many of which are now in the favorites rotation on our phones. We definitely plan to reach out to Ani again in the future!”
“I am fiercely protective of my home and cat Bandillo. When I leave, I need to KNOW that Bandillo is under the watchful eye of a trustworthy, pet savvy, intelligent, responsible, and highly responsive individual. I feel SO blessed to have connected with Bert, who provided exceptional care over 5 stop-in visitations to feed, clean litter, play and pet Bandillo. He was punctual in his arrival time, attentive to my specific care requests, and generous in the time he gave to connect with Bandillo. On a personal level, Bert presents as a warm and intelligent person, who is motivated to provide the best care, consistently going above and beyond in his feedback. In addition to his stellar care of Bandillo, Bert was highly respectful of our home. When my cat is under the care of Bert, I will relax …knowing that he is in excellent hands in my absence.”
“Lauren is a very flexible and reliable dog walker. She is great with Remi and always on time. She keeps me up to date on her visits and always send a picture or two. I’d recommend lauren to anyone in the area who is looking for a reliable dog walker!”
“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”
“Margaret is amazing! She was punctual, personable, had great communication and treated our dog like her own. She gave thorough updates and great photos! We trust her with our dog and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to come take your dog out. We will absolutely be using her in the future 😊”
About: I am an animal lover and love working with animals I have a great personality and would love to get to know your cat or dog. My favorite dog breed is golden retrievers they are so loyal and friendly. If you need outstanding service feel free to contact me. I’d love the opportunity to take care of your furry friends! Hi! I am able to take care of your pets any day anytime book an appointment with me today! Let’s talk soon book with me I can feed and spend time with your cats or dogs to create a bonding professional connection with your cats or dogs. I would be open to schedule a consultation or virtual meet to get to know you and your animals
About: I am a behavioral scientist work in a hybrid model (go to office once a week) that spend a lot time researching about healthy living for my own furry baby and others🫶 I pay great attention to my dog's nutrient so that I cook fresh/organic for him and take him to hiking and dog parks. I would make beef and chicken jerky, cheese and carrot biscuits as treats. I basically moved from an apartment to a house for the sake of my dog. He was a 7-week puppy weighted 3 lb when I met him and now he’s 9 years old and 22lb, happy and healthy and kissed everyday! Now we moved together to New England since I graduated from my PhD program. Dogs love me but I adore them more!! I welcome house sitting for your furry friend 🙌👍 I’m a behavioral scientist for preventive oncology (in human) and I work a hybrid job, which means my schedule is quite flexible and I’d like to give my own dog potty breaks every 3 hours during the day. These breaks are often well deserved mental relief for myself between meetings as well. Love to cuddle, giving our fur babies a lot of love. Now I live in a one-bedroom apartment so the capacity for boarding is limited, but I’d love to visit your pet at your place and if they like car ride, I could definitely offer walks in the woods upon prior discussion and an extra charge
About: When I was 13, my family and I adopted our first dog who came with a rife set of challenges from biting to aggression to anti-social behavior. Over 10 years later, our problematic puppy has become the grumpy yet lovable old dog that he is through intensive training, love, and (lots of) patience. Having taken care of such a pet, I can handle anything. Since then, I have dog-sat and puppy-sat for family members and friends and have loved it! I love dogs, whether they are bouncing puppies or low-key seniors, I love them all. I work from home as tutor, editor, and personal assistant. Additionally, I am pursuing a Master's degree in English and am always looking for a good excuse to get outside! I have a flexible schedule which can vary slightly week-to-week. I live with two other adults, my boyfriend and roommate. We have a two-story house with a basement. All three of us our dog lovers, with my roommate and I having owned and cared for dogs for over 10 years. We don't have a fenced yard, but we do have a lead that we can hook up a dog too. The lead is suited for dogs over 100 pounds, and pups can explore the backyard while being safe. As for care, we follow the owners' instructions in terms of walks, potty breaks, food, and sleep schedules. All three of us having varying work schedules, making it easy to accommodate early risers and night owls.

Cynthia is awesome! She was very accommodating and flexible with the plans for caring for our three cats. Her communication was excellent, and we enjoyed receiving her video and photo updates. She is very caring and kind, and was able to befriend our shy kitties! She gave us peace of mind while we were away, and I would not hesitate to book her again. I highly recommend!
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!
Tessa was so sweet and communicative. This was my first time using Rover, and the process was very simple and user friendly. She cared for my brand new kittens for a few days, visiting morning and evening, making sure they hadn’t gotten in to too much trouble! 😼😼 I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for help!
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!
I cannot recommend Jing highly enough! She has been caring for my dogs, Winnie and Jackson, and has been absolutely wonderful. She is reliable, consistent, and always communicates clearly, which gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. One of my favorite things about her visits are the photos she sends. The photos she takes are incredible. I have honestly saved so many of them because they are just that good! It is obvious that she genuinely cares about the dogs and takes the time to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Winnie and Jackson are always excited to see her, and I know they are in great hands whenever she stops by. She is dependable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, I would wholeheartedly recommend Jing.
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.
Lauren did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my dog! From the start, she was incredibly responsible, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog clearly felt comfortable and happy in her care, and it was obvious that Lauren treated her like one of her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience — I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Norwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
