“I was so nervous about leaving our dog. My hunting partner. After I met yvette that all went away. She cared for my Izzy like she was hers . Long walks and lots of attention. Def use yvette. I will be again soon.”

“Megan was great with Louie! She was punctual, followed his schedule, sent a photo update, and played with him regularly. I came home to a very happy puppy. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

“I was very hesitant to have a sitter stay at my house . We took a chance on Gabby and couldn’t be happier . She sent us updates on our boy throughout the stay , showed up on time , distributed his meds properly , and followed all our directions for our boy. On top of that she left our house in the same condition it was given to her and took all our mail and deliveries in. Our Zee came back to us happy and as healthy as we left him. I’d definetly recommend Gabby and we hope to use her again.”

“Theo did an excellent job taking care of our cats. We booked him to house sit our two cats while we were away for nine days. He followed all of our instructions, and we came home to happy cats. He has a deep understanding of cat psychology, and he spent a ton of time interacting with our cats. We really appreciate him going above and beyond and will be booking him again!”

“Eric did a terrific job taking care of our senior pup. Our doggo was extremely relaxed and happy when we came back from our trip, so it was obvious that Eric took amazing care of him. Eric was also very thorough about following instructions and asking questions about our dog's routines and preferences. And the house was in great shape as well!”

Having cats of my own, ages 1.5-4.5 years, I know the type of care and attention that cats need. I will care for your cats like they are my own! I have fostered for many years and love knowing that I make a difference in saving the lives of our feline friends. I have experience with many different breeds of cats. I started pet sitting on Rover after having to use three different sitters, in one summer, during an emergency situation. Rest assured that I am reliable, trustworthy, usually always available, and will take excellent care of your fur babies! When you are away, I want you to enjoy your time and know that your pets are in good hands. I truly love cats and want what is best for them! I have made genuine connections with many of the cats that I care for. I have experience administering insulin, thyroid medication, oral medications (including pilling), topical medication, and inhalers. I have also cared for bottle fed kittens. *The yellow shield and check mark next to my name means that I paid for an enhanced background check. I am a full-time teacher from September-June.

“Tatiana was great! She took the time to meet before the day she was going nj to Dogsit. She sent lots of updates and photos and was a joy to communicate with. Thank you Tatiana!”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and have cared for pups at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who needed extra patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’ve raised one dog through his puppy years and lovingly supported two others through their golden years, so I’m comfortable with training basics, routines, mobility changes, medications, and slower-paced walks when needed. Over the years, friends have trusted me with their dogs while they travel, and now that I have more space in my home—and a large, fully fenced yard—I’m excited to do this regularly. My dog, Ochosi, and I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m happy to tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy, and needs—whether that means an adventurous trail day or a cozy afternoon of cuddles. As a bonus, my roommate is also a longtime dog lover and former dog owner, so your pup will get extra attention and affection beyond just me and Ochosi. Between our household, your dog will be surrounded by care, play, and consistency while you’re away. As an empowerment coach, I work mostly from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs I care for throughout the day. I do have occasional workshops, classes, and client visits that take me out of the house part-time, but I always plan my schedule carefully so pups get plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I focus on keeping routines consistent, energy balanced, and tails wagging. I tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to each pup’s age and personality—from adventurous hikes to gentle strolls and cozy evenings. With a big fenced yard for safe outdoor play, plenty of affection from me, Ochosi, and my dog-loving roommate, and regular photo updates for you, your dog will feel secure, happy, and right at home.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I got my dog. I joined Rover 3 years ago and have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for various types of dogs. I care for every dog as if they're my own! I just got home from college and am looking to make some money as I take a remote class this summer. That being said, my schedule is pretty open and flexible! I am very respectful of other's spaces and make sure to follow instructions carefully. I pay attention to detail and am a high energy individual. I truly love dogs so much and am happy to help take care of them when owners' lives get busy.
“Just got home from vacation and our dogs were so well taken care of by Manny! They adored him, he sent us texts daily, and he was so respectful of our home (this was in home dog sitting). Highly recommend Manny!”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was 13. I cared for neighborhood pets, family pets, and my own! I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, and even reptiles, and birds! There is nothing I love more in this world than animals<3 I am looking for something to keep me busy throughout the summer. I will be available after five once the school year begins due to commuting. I am extremely welcoming and will be sure to accommodate your pet. I will follow directions/advice given by pet owners and clean up after your pets.
“Peter was very understanding and attentive to our dog’s personality and highly communicative with us. He followed all the specific care requests we shared perfectly. Our dog and home were so well cared for during the dog / house sitting stay. We would highly recommend Peter as a dog / house sitter.”


About: Hi there! I’m Grace, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a genuine passion for caring for dogs and cats. 🐾💗 I have a background in pet care through helping family friends with their dog and cat boarding business, where I gained hands-on experience caring for pets with all different personalities, ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I recently moved into a beautiful luxury apartment where I run my digital marketing company from home, which gives me the flexibility to be fully available 7 days a week. Because I work from home, I’m able to spend a lot of time with your pet throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles depending on what they’re used to at home. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions you provide. I absolutely LOVE both dogs and cats and believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play, your senior pup prefers relaxing on the couch, or your cat needs a little time to warm up, I’m patient and happy to give them the individualized care they need. I also know how reassuring it is as a pet parent to know your furry baby is doing well, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. 📸🐶🐱 My goal is simple: to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away. I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! 💕🐾 I work from home full-time running my digital marketing company, so I’m home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. Your dog will have constant companionship, attention, and care throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to take them out for regular walks and potty breaks, give them plenty of playtime and cuddles, and keep them on their normal routine. I love having a furry companion around while I work, and I’m always happy to take a break from my computer for some playtime, a walk, or just some extra attention! Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and routine are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with me. 🐶💕 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I want every dog and cat staying with me to feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. I’m attentive, responsible, and always keep a close eye on the pets in my care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and being well cared for while you’re away. 🐾💕
“We are so happy that we found Maggie to stay with our dogs. She was a great house guest, and took such great care of our two dogs, with frequent walks and time outside playing fetch. She was really communicative and proactive, which we also appreciated. Our dogs are excited for her to come back again in the future!”

About: I have always had a genuine love for animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have previously provided pet care and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I am responsible, caring, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine, whether that means going for a walk, playing, giving them lots of attention, or simply keeping them company. I also have experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. When caring for your pets, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I would be happy to keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit or walk, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. 🐶🐱❤️ I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! I’m available for house sitting and walking your pets if you need someone to care for your best friends that’s me! I’m available 9-11am during the week. & full time on the weekends. I would care for pets in my clients home, would like to know everything about your pet before coming over, also taking your dog for a walk is something I’d love to do!
About: I have watched pets most of my life of friends, and family. I take the time to get to know their personalities, routines, and special needs, because I believe every pet deserves personalized care and attention. I have a traditional 9–5 job Monday to Thursday and work from home on Fridays. Morning would feed and walk. Lunch would be midday walk, which my job is about 10 minute from home. Evening would be walk, spending play time and evening feeding. Weekends I’m home spending time with pet. I have plenty of room to accommodate your pets space. I can also crate if you want. I also have a large front yard for play time. There are sidewalks all through town, which is close to my home for walks.

After Alex walked Georgie once, and we met to confirm a longer stay, I had full confidence that he could handle my senior, diabetic, almost blind dog. I was right! Not only did I need someone who was caring, patient and responsible, Alex had to make sure Georgie got his insulin shots on time every day, twice a day. I interviewed several dog sitters before I came across Alex. Don't hesitate to hire Alex...you can rest assured he will take wonderful care of your pet.

Matthew was great, and made everything so easy. He had a sense of confidence and calm that made us feel like we didn't need to worry that he'd be able to take care of anything that came up for the doggos. He stayed at the house, and was so thoughtful about bringing in the mail, watering plants, taking care of the bedding. Highly recommended for pet/house sitting!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Norwood on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 18,820 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Norwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Norwood walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Norwood maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
