Both my cat and dog loved Morgan and were beaming when I got home from vacation! Morgan is communicative and curious and I really appreciate her approach to animals. Anyone is lucky to have her care for their pets :)

About: I grew up on a farm with pitbulls and cats, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments and have experience in giving them plenty of love and attention! I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to help you with your needs! I’m available for overnight boarding all nights but on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am only available after 530. I have a fenced in yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor playtime. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed, from feeding and walks to cuddle time and rest. I also keep a close eye on them during outdoor activities to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and secure.

Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently take care of my parents dog when needed, my best friends new puppy, and have prior experience with senior dog I used to care for. I work fully remote job so I have flexibility throughout the day to care for a dog as well as fenced area to let dog out in. It is just myself in a single family home with a fenced in back yard for all dog sitting needs. I also have a car and easily commute for any in-home calls and jobs.

Alison has been very reliable and responsive. She’s been walking our new puppy for the last couple weeks to help us get her out of the crate during our work day so she isn’t in there more than 4hrs. Puppy dealing with some pretty bad stomach issues and Alison very helpful with this as far as checking in with worried pup mom and offering more water/different options when pup not up for a walk. She’s been wonderful and we’re very grateful. Will continue to use her services as long as we can and are in a situation where work schedule forces pup into crate for too many hours.

About: Hi! I’m a RN, mom of 4 humans, and 3 fur babies. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday home life, and brings me lots of joy! As a lifelong animal lover & caretaker, my #1 priority is everyone's overall well-being and safety. I have raised 2 dogs from the puppy phase, a teenage rescue dog, and 2 bunnies. I’m used to being attentive, patient, dependable, empathetic, and observant. I know how important it is to follow routines, notice changes in behavior, and make sure those in my care + their loved ones feel safe and comfortable. Whether your animal needs a walk, daily care, some playtime, companionship, a yard to run fee in, or simply a calm and caring person to spend time with... I'd love the opportunity to provide that care! I know your pet isn’t “just a pet”—they’re part of your family. I’ll treat them that way! I work part-time as a nurse, and have my kids 50% of the time (+ they are older). So, I have a lot of availability, especially on my days off, around my work shifts, or while my kids are at schoool + some weekends too. I have lived in Walnut Hills for 13 years, and already love to walk all around the neighborhood & know it very well. I know there are many students & medical professionals in the area (like me)...so, I'd love to help support you when your busy! I know first hand what it's like to get stuck at work and worry about your pets at home. Forget that "pet parent guilt", If I can get there last minute, I totally will! 1. First thing, I will meet you & your pet face to face for a quick orientation of your space, and routines. Plus, I want to take a few minutes to make sure your pet & I are comfortable with each other. *I bring a calm energy, but on my first visit (without you), I will wait shorten a walk if they are showing signs of stress that I cannot manage. I will still use the time to play & visit, and will let you know. Some dogs need a little time to warm up, and I prioritize safety and leaving the experience positive for everyone involved. *I will also not risk going to dog parks, or let them say hello to human & dog strangers on our walks. ((Mostly because I don't trust other people's judgement)) *If your dog(s) come to run free & play catch in my fenced in yard, we will all remain outside, there will be no kids, and I will not allow my dogs to come outside during that time. My promises: 1. I will care for your pet according to your specific instructions... No one knows them better than you! You don't need my opinion or plan unless you ask for it. If you want me to use your commands and behavior training, please tell me! 2. I will be professional, and treat your home and neighborhood with respect. Please communicate any special instructions. 3. No known surprises please! I ask that you please communicate any medical history, behaviors, quirks, fears, etc. I'm not scared of a challenge, but I do need full transparency. 4. BE HONEST! I am providing a service & want happy customers! Please feel free to tell me anything I am doing that you would like me to change. I will not take offense, and I will be thankful you felt comfortable to tell me, so I can continue to work with you consistently, and give your family the best care possible. 5. I must warn you: I will send you lots of pictures of your baby even if you don't ask for it. 6. If you are happy with my care, PLEASE leave a review and share about my services with your friends and family!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. With more than 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I've been surrounded by pets since I was a child. In fact, my very first job was walking neighborhood dogs when I was in middle school—and my love for caring for animals has only grown since then. I've raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood, giving me firsthand experience with house training, socialization, leash training, and the patience and consistency puppies need to thrive. My dogs are truly part of our family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also have experience caring for senior pets who require daily medications, as well as rescue dogs who may need extra patience, understanding, and a calm approach due to anxiety or special feeding routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Beyond dogs and cats, I've cared for many other animals over the years, including birds, fish, hamsters, turtles, frogs, lizards, and hermit crabs. I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets and am always happy to learn about their individual needs. In my full-time career, I work in an elementary school, so I have summers off and additional some flexibility throughout the year (outside of carpooling to my kid’s sports 😉). That allows me to provide dependable, attentive care and plenty of time, love, and companionship for your furry (or feathered or scaly!) family members. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like family while you're away. My schedule is very flexible this summer! Since I work at an elementary school during the school year, I have the summer months off and am available throughout the day to care for your pets. Aside from occasionally carpooling my son to camp/sports, my schedule is wide open, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, companionship, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule to provide dependable, attentive care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I prefer caring for dogs in their own home whenever possible, where they can remain in a familiar, comfortable environment and maintain their normal routine. I understand that changes can be stressful for some pets, and I strive to make your time away as calm and worry-free as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to work around your dog's individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and favorite activities. I also welcome the opportunity to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and you can feel completely confident that they'll be in caring, capable hands.

About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.

About: Pets set the pace, and I'm here for all of it. Whether your dog needs to burn energy on a brisk walk or your cat just wants someone calm and present while you're away, I show up how your pet needs me to. I'm a professional pet care provider with 2,400+ completed visits in dog walking and drop-in care, and I'm insured through PCI for your peace of mind. I'm also open to overnight housesitting with advance notice. I've worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments - high energy, reactive, senior, shy, and everything in between. I'm comfortable administering oral medication, working with senior pets, and supporting training goals you're actively building with your pet. Your pet's routines, preferences, and needs will be followed. Cats are a specialty. I understand that most cats need a visitor who respects their space and handles the essentials. If they're social, we'll have playtime, chin scratches, or just exist in the same room the way some cats prefer. I ask detailed questions before every booking because the best care starts with knowing your pet: their triggers, their favorite toys, how they signal discomfort, and what commands they respond to with someone new. I generally have a flexible schedule around my other work. The only times I am not available now is T/Th 12:30-5:30pm. I am not available for constant care at this time. I am happy to do playtime in the yard, cuddle on the couch, depending on what your pet is feeling for the days we meet.

About: I am active and love taking care of pets. I am adaptable and can work in any setting while still being very organized and on task. I am currently a college athlete at Xavier University and manage my course load along with my athletic commitments. While I do have a lot going on I have lots of downtime away from sports and school where I would love to spend it helping people out. I have 2 dogs, ages 5 and 7, that live in my home. I live in an area with easily accessible walking paths and parks while also have a yard for dogs to play in.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

About: I love working with dogs and tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or giving medication, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with senior dogs, so I understand the extra patience and attention they need, offering gentle walks, plenty of reassurance, and a calm, caring environment to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care whenever needed, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. In your home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets while keeping them on their usual routine. I make sure they’re closely supervised during outdoor time and always prioritize their safety and well-being.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could walk. Grew up walking stuffed animals around on a leash just to prove to my parents that I was responsible enough to own one myself. I had two dogs that both lived to 16 so my track record is good I am currently working from home three to four days a week and that allows for me to be flexible with my timing. I can leave the house, let a dog out or just give him/her some extra belly rubs I have a fenced in yard that allows your fur baby to run around freely, but within the home I love to snuggle. Your pets are allowed on furniture and in beds at this household, as long as it’s okay with you.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Norwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Norwood on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 2,193 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Norwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Norwood. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Norwood.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwood. On Rover:

  • 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
