About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, puppies, senior dogs, cats, horses, turtles, and guinea pigs. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy who needs patience and consistency, or providing gentle, attentive care for a senior dog with a slower pace, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will care for your pets as if they were my own! When I’m not at the barn riding horses, I love spending my downtime outdoors, especially taking walks after work to unwind. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. While I’d love to have a dog of my own someday, I’m not in a position to right now, so I cherish every opportunity to spend time with furry friends. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m always happy to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Monday and Friday evenings work best for me, and my weekend availability depends on what I have planned. That said, I’m flexible and will do my best to make my schedule work whenever possible! For dog walks, I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh water afterward if needed, and lots of love and attention along the way. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have, whether that’s avoiding certain routes, reinforcing training, administering simple care like wiping paws, or giving treats with your permission. My goal is to make every walk fun, safe, and stress-free while treating your dog like they’re my own.
“Gabby is simply the best. She was amazing and flexible with the needs of our senior girl, Jersie. She sent picture updates throughout our trip and kept us in the loop of what was going on. We are so thankful for her compassion and are looking forward to booking with her again ❤️”
“Katie was great taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She showed up when she said she would, spent some quality time with him, and sent plenty of pictures and status updates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“AmariYah was excellent. Great communicator, intentional in asking questions about my cat and her needs, and was very attentive and sent pictures with each visit. Highly recommend, and would definitely contact her for care in the future.”
“Olivia was awesome with our pups! We just relocated and needed to find a new dog sitter quickly for a business trip and we’re glad we found her. She took great care of our boys, took them for walks and gave them all the attention they needed. Will definitely be booking with her again! :)”
“Beth was amazing! Showed up with super short notice and was extremely professional. She was kind and Moses loved her immediately, you could tell that she loves dogs and they love her back. She even walked him twice in a 3 hour dog sit. Highly recommend!”
“Katie was so great with our dogs! She did a meet & greet ahead of time and was well-prepared with questions to ensure both us and the dogs were comfortable while in her hands. She communicated daily & sent photos as well. We came home to a very clean home and two happy pups! We were very at ease leaving for the weekend and would not hesitate to use her again. She has been one of the best sitters we have found thus far and appreciate her so much.”
“Sebastian continues to go above and beyond for our 7 pets and the care of our home! I received plenty of pictures that show how well he cares for our pets and spends quality time with them all. He clearly communicates everything that goes on with our pets, from the cuteness to the cat puke. I really appreciate the multiple updates and I can truly relax while I’m away from home! He even goes out of his way on the little things like grabbing the mail, checking on our vehicles, vacuuming, AND refilling our dog’s daily pill container!!! I know our pets look forward to seeing him again.”
“Maggie is an incredible sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Nattie, on two separate trips of mine now and it is the most confident I’ve ever been that Nattie is safe, happy, and well looked after while I’m gone. Maggie sends me an update with pictures each day, along with any questions or concerns, and otherwise I can trust I don’t need to worry and enjoy my trip without stressing that something could be wrong. I love getting the pictures and hearing about how everything is going, and knowing Nattie is being given all the treats and walks and attention she needs and deserves. I would recommend Maggie to any dog mom looking for someone reliable and trustworthy!”
“Suzanne was so good with my high energy dogs. She sent me updates and was thorough! I came home to some happy pups! My house was left in perfect condition! Would definitely call her again!”
“Shea was wonderful! Not only did she do this for a week before (our bad), but she was so caring and attentive to our 2 dogs. They are high energy most of the time unless they have someone to snuggle 🙂!! Thank you so much for your care! We are so appreciative! We will definitely be reaching back out to shea for further service with our dogs as she made us feel very comfortable. :)”
“Brendan was so wonderful with our pups when we were recently out of town. The dogs hand the best time, he was super responsive and also took great care of our home. Will 100% be rebooking with him in the future. Thanks Brendan!”
“Marlena is amazing! She is so kind, extremely flexible with my schedule and very communicative. My dogs had a great day hanging with her. Would definitely recommend!”
About: You can count on me to treat your pet like another member of my family. Growing up on a farm exposed me to animals of all sizes from an early age and gave me a deep love for them. We always had dogs and cats, plus other animals. Because of this, I am comfortable administering medications to your pets and ensuring they get the love and attention you are looking for. I've had my rescue Pit, Rusty, for the past 5 years, and I love being a dog dad. I am a bit of a runner, so I am happy to take on high-energy dogs, whether that is for a longer walk or a good run. I am looking forward to helping you with your pet's needs and working toward being their new best friend! I currently work remotely as a freelancer and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule both during the day and evenings. I can host most weekends and live down from Eden Park. I'll do my best to work around your pet's needs and routine to meet you where you are! I believe in following what works best for your pet and reinforcing any behaviors/training you are currently working on with them. I also believe every pet should be loved and spoiled just like any family member. My day job is communications and marketing, so you can expect regular and consistent updates from me.
“Levi was great! My dog, Bella seemed to warm up to him immediately during our meet and greet which helped ease my anxiety as I was leaving the country for 10 days! He was great with communication and I will definitely use Levi again!”
“Elizabeth is WONDERFUL! When you meet her, you know everything will be handled. With just one meet and greet, I knew I was able to get out of town without any worries. When I came home, the dogs were content and satisfied, like they had been well cared for and unbothered by my absence! And as a bonus, she was very respectful of my home and left it exactly as she found it! Elizabeth provides a 10/10 service, and I highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
Alecia is an absolutely incredible dog sitter. She kept me regularly informed of how Bobbis day went and sent lots of pics. In addition she left the house in immaculate condition and Bobbi seemed incredibly chilled and relaxed when I got home. Bobbi also has some special requirements due to previous health injuries and again she accommodated these so well. A huge thank you Alecia.
Megan was great! She was very responsive and kept me updated throughout the entire time she was watching our dog. She was reliable, attentive, and spent plenty of quality time with him. It was clear that she genuinely cared, and our dog absolutely loved being with her. I would definitely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
I cannot recommend Jody enough! Jody shared detailed updates about how they were doing, lots of wonderful photos of my dogs happily playing with her and each other, and enjoying walks. It was so reassuring to see how well cared for they were. Jody is professional, reliable, and truly loves animals! Thank you Jody!
Brooke was absolutely wonderful! My dog can be a nervous gentleman, and he took to Brooke immediately during both the intro visit and when they arrived prior to our deprture. They were on time, communicative, flexible, and thoughtful in their care of my big man. They sorted through all of my doofus' oddities with ease. I feel *so* fortunate to have found them and look forward to being able to travel in the future knowing Marv is in the best hands!
Timely communication, knowledgeable and accommodating! Brooklyn saved the day caring for my terriers while I had a family engagement. I was in from out of town and she made sure that my boys were well cared for in a city where I didn’t know anyone. She let me know what was happening, was flexible and kind. I can’t recommend her more highly!
Highly recommended! Teagan did a fantastic job taking care of our house with 2 dogs and 2 cats. Including 1 very high energy dog! She went above and beyond, kept us updated frequently, and made sure all 4 pets had plenty of attention and their needs met. Thanks so much!
Libby was great. She came over for a meet and greet and was thoughtful during my trip - sending pictures & being flexible when my flight home got delayed. I never felt like I couldn’t get in touch while I was gone and appreciate how she took care of my home and dog!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Norwood on Rover is $51.06 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,368 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
