About: Growing up with Steve Irwin as my role model, I have personal experience with pets of many varieties, including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, crabs, etc. I have professionally worked as a cat sitter for 2 years, as well as experience working in a vet clinic as a receptionist and assistant. I have experience with befriending the most timid pets, playing with the best of ‘em, and providing oral and topical medications. I am the full time pet parent to my two cats, Mabel and Luna! I am a mental health therapist by day and an animal lover all the time! I can be available for overnight stays on the weekends and for drop in visits/walks in the morning before 9am or after 4pm. I maintain a calm, loving demeanor with every pet I care for. Much like humans in therapy, I meet the pet where they are and encourage them by building a strong rapport. In your home, I will be respectful of the space by keeping it clean, as well as towards your pet!
“Suzanne did a drop in visit with our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She was great to work with and I would absolutely rebook with her! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs :)”
About: I’ve lived and loved cats and dogs of all ages all my life! I currently have three cats and a snake at home, and I know how hard it is to leave them behind when traveling. I have 10+ years of experience watching pets for family and neighbors who have peace of mind knowing their pets are loved while they’re away! I’m a full time researcher and master’s student, and am available in the early mornings evenings after 3pm and all day on weekends. My schedule would work best for pets that can be alone for 8 hours during the week while I’m at work. I can be very flexible with a pets individual needs. I love to cuddle and give affection to animals that seek it, but I also understand when space is necessary to build trust and respect. I love spunky, energized cats and dogs just as much as the lazy loafs!
About: Not only am I a veterinary technician, but I also have a variety of different species of pets at home, ensuring I will be able to treat your babies as my own! I have experience training puppies, administering medications, aiding in senior care, and helping with any other additional needs your pet may have. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play and love on your fur babies! I also have many pets of my own, so I have built in adequate time to give all of my pets the love and attention they need. I am willing to work with you no matter your preferences when it comes to your pet! I am used to crating pets, walking pets, and letting them out in a timely manner, to ensure that they are not letting up on their routine.
“Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“Zachary did a great job with me and my cat. Zach’s communication was excellent, when I was looking for a carer and while I was out of town. I would happily hire him for pet care again.”
“Pin is amazing with Alvin and Opal and her communication with me is excellent. Thank you Pin for going above and beyond in being super flexible helping out last minute and for your gentleness and patience with the dogs. I hope to have you visit them again.”
“Tori again was amazing with our old man! She checked in with the best pictures and videos. It’s always nerve wracking to leave your baby, especially when he’s older, but we left knowing that he would be in the best hands. New friend for our old man and a sitter for life!!!”
About: Hi! We're Charlotte and Leslie, your favorite Queer Aunties. Our boys are Otis and Auggie and they can't wait to meet you and your pet! Otis is the Friendliest Friend Who Ever Friended -- he's a 68-pound pittie mix who has never known a stranger. He is great about matching energy with his doggo friends and responds well to communication from other dogs. We joke that his energy level is along the lines of being a sprinter, not a marathoner, but if your pet is a marathoner he will do his very best to keep up. As long has he gets to take a nap afterward, LOL! Auggie loves to run in the back yard with his friends and play tug with them. He's also a pittie mix spends his time either solar charging in the yard or napping near his humans. We've learned that he sometimes needs slow introductions to new friends and is perfectly content to spend time in his crate to decompress when needed. I've owned dogs since I was a teenager and have added cats to my household in the past few years. We have experience with special needs dogs and cats - we like to learn what their needs are so that we can set them (and us!) up for success. We're accustomed to giving medication, syringe feeding, monitoring behaviors, etc. We both work from home and are able to play with your pet and let them out for potty breaks multiple times a day. If left home alone, it would be for no more than 2-3 hours at a time. Your pet will be loved and spoiled as if it were our own. We allow our pets on the furniture and have multiple cat trees and dog beds around the house. We have a large fenced-in back yard for the pups to run and play in. Otis also has a couple of friends in the neighborhood that we may introduce your pet to for a group playdate. Your pet is sure to have a fun time no matter what!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and I've cared for other people's pets for ten years. Every week I walk dogs and run pet sitting visits around Hyde Park and Oakley, so the routine is second nature: leash clipped, water fresh, doors checked twice. Every pet gets your process, not mine. Tell me about feeding schedules, allergies, food sensitivities, medications, grooming and exercise once, and I follow them to the letter. You get photos and notes after every visit. I'm most available on weekday afternoons and evenings from 3 PM, and on weekends. Mornings fill with regular walking clients, so send your dates early and I'll confirm quickly. Cats are part of my everyday life. When my mother passed, I took in her cats rather than rehome them, and their care opens and closes every day for me. I keep a lab level standard of clean and serious air filtration, so allergens stay low. Healthy diets, food allergy plans, seasonal natural remedies and supplements, dental care and regular checkups are routine in my home. In yours, I follow your rules, lock up behind me, and leave everything as I found it.
“Paige was amazing with our pups! Loved the pictures and the updates. Our dogs can be a handful, very loving and playful but a handful, haha. Paige took great care of them, was on time, and did a great job. Definitely book her!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my parents believed that helping care for pets was an important way to build responsibility, so animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve truly never gone without having a pet in my home. Over the years, I’ve gained experience helping care for animals of all ages and needs, including temporary foster pets, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I’m comfortable supporting animals who require medications, extra patience, mobility accommodations, and individualized routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or needs a little extra support, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’m an occupational therapist at a nursing home in Cincinnati! My work schedule is flexible for me as I need to be. I don’t work weekends! I live in an apartment with a fenced yard area. I have a friendly dog that is crated when I’m not home. I have a cat who is friendly!
About: I grew up in a home full of pets, ranging from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, which only encouraged my love for animals. Over the last decade, that interest has lead me to pursue multiple paths in the pet care field. I have learned how to care for many types of animals, how to provide a safe and stress-free environment for pets, and how to keep an open line of communication with pet parents. The greatest takeaway, however, has been building a better understanding of animal behavior and how to interact with everyone at their own pace! At the moment, I am available for two drop-in visits per day, Monday through Sunday. I am unavailable at specific times certain days of the week. Those are: Tuesdays 9:30am-11:30am, Saturdays and Sundays (and some Fridays) 8am-10am Your pet's routine and comfort are my priorities! That leads me to focus on leash safety, home safety and security, and food/medication schedules. Regular communication is important to me, as it is the best way to ensure all needs are met.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
Marguerite was not only a great sitter, working to trouble shoot issues on the fly, she is also a wonderful cat photographer! I felt comfortable leaving her with my 2.5 month old kittens for a long weekend - she did a great job keeping me updated and following care instructions. Thank you so much! I definitely recommend her 😸
Andrea is very communicative and took great care of my 2 cats. I appreciated the daily photos and status updates. I was nervous to leave them for the first time but Andrea brought me so much reassurance! I would definitely book again. My cats seemed really content when I returned home.
Margaret did a wonderful job taking care of my 2 finicky, mature cats. She has great communication, and she was persistent in winning them both over and figuring out how to get Jimmy to take his meds. I strongly recommend Margaret and would definitely hire her again.
Hannah went above and beyond when taking care of Lady! Kept in contact with me, asking questions if needed. She gave Lady lots of love and care! She took the best pictures of my lil Lady, including the process of giving Lady her daily pill and nebulizer! She made sure to be gentle and accommodating, (cuz Lady can be shy at first) which led Lady to feel comfortable and trusting around her! Did amazing taking care of my elderly cat with medical needs! :)
Christina was the best! she took excellent care of our kiddos and even got our most sensitive cat to eat his meals (and take his meds!) without any issue! she sent us tons of photos, was super communicative, and super flexible. 10/10 recommend her for all your pet needs!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Norwood is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 .

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.

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.
