“Nina accommodated me last minute, and did an absolutely fantastic job! she sent me photos of my dogs, and even went out of her way to give them treats at the end of the visit from her own stash when I didn’t have my own, and followed directions perfectly! she made sure to keep any temperaments that I had let her know about in mind while dropping in with them, and my babies seem so happy with her care. will definitely be using her again!”
“AmariYah watched our two dogs while we went out of town and did a great job! They can be particular about who walks them but she got them out and about no problem. Absolutely would book her again.”
“Morgan was awesome. She is very kind. She took photos. She was very easy to communicate with. She was on time. I would definitely recommend her and use her again. I have two one year old cats.”
About: Hi there! My name is Emily, and I provide compassionate, structured, and experienced pet care for animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. With a PhD in biology and 4 years of experience working as a zoo scientist, I bring a deep, professional understanding of animal behavior, physiology, and welfare to my work. Whether handling high energy puppy play, gentle support for a senior, or a calm environment for a nervous pet, I ensure every animal receives safe and informed care. My Hands-On Experience and Specialty Care: Much of my practical day to day experience comes from loving and caring for my two German Shepherds, but I am equally comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small critters. Senior and Special Needs Care: I spent years managing complex medical conditions, including senior care and seizure monitoring for my beloved Shepherd before she passed. I am extremely comfortable and with administering oral medications on schedule, maintaining routines for your pets, and providing extra love, patience, and care. Reactivity and Training Continuity: I currently care for my 100lb White German Shepherd, who deals with extreme anxiety and reactivity toward other animals. Because I regularly work alongside professional trainers to manage his behavior, I have extensive practice handling reactive dogs safely on walks using positive reinforcement and loose leash training techniques. I will happily maintain whatever training boundaries or protocols you have in place. Scientific Expertise Across Species: My background in biology and zoological research gives me a unique comfort level with specialized species like reptiles and birds, along with an intuitive eye for subtle signs of stress or illness. What You Can Expect: Safety First Walks-Calmer, structured walks using proper techniques to safely guide dogs that struggle with leash reactivity. Routine and Medication Precision-Strict adherence to your pet’s feeding schedules, medication doses, and training plans. Peace of Mind-Regular updates and photos so you always know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’d love to learn more about your pets and how I can help! Feel free to reach out to set up a Meet and Greet. I am currently unemployed due to federal funding cuts. :( Until I find my dream job in wildlife conservation, I will have endless time to dedicate to your pets. In your home, I respect your space, secure all entry points, and adhere to your pet’s routine. With extensive experience handling senior pets with medical needs and reactive dogs, safety during walks and care is paramount. I practice hyper-vigilance, avoid off-leash areas, monitor for subtle signs of stress, and use positive reinforcement to keep walks calm. Whether caring for dogs, cats, birds, or reptiles, I follow all medical and training instructions to the letter and provide regular updates, so you always have full peace of mind.
“Allison took care of our girls while we were out of town for a family vacation. She was fantastic with the girls and communicated with us regularly. We supremely appreciate that she kept them happy and safe!”
“Aleksandra always does such a wonderful job caring for our puppy! She provides detailed reports on the Rover card with lots of pictures, and she gives so much love to our puppy as if he is her own! Thank you for everything!”
“Megan is an amazing sitter who took great care of my special needs dog when I had to leave town for work. She gave him his insulin without any issues and gave me great notes on how the visit went. She went above and beyond in every visit and she is at the top of my list for future needs. She really kept my heart at ease when I couldn’t be home and made me feel good about leaving him in her care.”
“Emma was very flexible, helpful, and patient with me and my kitties--especially when my plans changed. The little ones took to her more quickly than they have with others in the past which is a tribute to Emma.”
“Cecelia watched our dog & cat recently while on vacation. She took great care of them & was also so good with communication. She really cares. I highly recommend her & will hire her again!!”
“Alex was very prompt to respond to my request for a last-minute booking, took good care of my dog, sent detailed updates, and asked questions as needed. Alex was very professional in all aspects of communicating and completing visits.”
“This is the second time Zachary has provided drop-in visits to my cat. He was very reliable and went out of his way to make the dates work. Communication was excellent while I was away, and I came home to a relaxed and well-cared for cat. Five stars.”
“Brendan was great with our 2 dogs. The dogs seemed to like him and the pictures proved that. He took his time with each dog individually which was nice for the dogs to get their own attention. Thank you for respecting our home and taking care of our fur-babies! We are definitely keeping Brendan in our favorites.”
“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing. She was prompt, CLEARLY concerned that she had all the information she needed to take care of my cats, and flexible about some last minute complications with my plans. Melissa sent me awesome pictures and notes each day, and had my shy, timid boy eating up her affection. I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Meranda did such an awesome job watching my cats. One of them is a senior who requires an inhaler. She made sure both of them were well cared for & both my cats took to her right away. The communication was awesome and 100% would recommend her :)”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life with always having dogs and cats at home. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages through volunteering at an animal shelter for 2 years. I helped with walking and playtime for dogs, many who were very high energy, and helped with playing and socializing the cats and kittens. I currently help out family and friends with their cats, dogs, and even guinea pigs/rodents. I have 2 cats of my own now that I raised since they were kittens as well as a saltwater aquarium. I know your pets mean the world to you and I am here to help keep them happy and healthy in any way I can! I am currently working from home and have a flexible work schedule so that I can fit in time to look after your furry friends! I am very used to animals of all different energy levels and will take the time to meet their needs. If they need a long walk to get their energy out or just someone to sit with them for some attention.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
Best Rover sitter I have had thus far! They’ve all been great but he was especially detailed with how they all did each day and I could tell he was paying attention because it really fit each personality exactly. He took lots of pictures and touched on the shy one getting attention because she loves it but doesn’t seek it out. Had total peace of mind. He also stayed a little extra time which I so appreciated. Really above and beyond!
Crystal is a cat whisperer - my incredibly shy cat Katie hides for all visitors. But she finally emerged for Crystal! Thanks to Crystal’s consistent effort to show Katie that she’s a friendly and non-threatening helper over the course of visits during the last several months. Thank you for going above and beyond, Crystal!
I cannot say enough of how much I appreciate Emma!!!! I am usually a little nervous when I leave my cat with someone new. This is my first time booking her and it definitely will not be my last. She went above and beyond to make sure Bug (my cat) was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. She went out of her way to help with things and to ensure that Bug is safe at home. Do NOT hesitate to book her. She will take really good care of your pets ❤️❤️
Carly was so reliable and responsive when we asked her to pop in on our cat Olive over Fourth of July weekend. She let Olive in/out at the designated times and always made sure she had fresh food and water (during a heatwave). Olive warmed right up to her and allowed her to give her some butt pats. Highly recommend Carly for any cat sitting needs, will definitely use her in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Norwood on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
