“This was our second time having Nina care for our bunny. Outstanding experience, will continue to rebook her. Her communication is excellent. She took fantastic care of our pet and even alerted us to a home issue and helped to resolve it in our absence. Exceeded expectations!”
“Morgan was so thoughtful and communicative and cares just as much for my pet family as I do! She was very attentive to all of the little things and quirks of my Delilah’s routine and made sure to send me photos or questions if she needed to. What a joy! I will definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Emma came to the rescue for us first time puppy owners! She couldn’t be sweeter with Frisbee and was a huge help to us in learning the ropes on routines and tips to make puppy ownership a breeze. Knowing she was coming over to play with our girl gave us such peace of mind. Frisbee loved her too! 🐾”
“You’re the best!!! Thank you for always taking good care of Lando!! Alison follows all my random requests and is simply the best!! Already have her rebooked for two more trips I have!”
“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.”
“Gabby did GREAT handling my two big babies! They loved her and I had no issues. I will for sure be rebooking Gabby when I need help in the future. Thanks again!”
“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’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!
“Melissa is the BEST! She's incredible attentive, kind, dedicated, and highly professional. Even though one of my cats is very shy, Melissa managed to win him over and make him feel comfortable around her. I would recommend her a thousand times over!”
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.
“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”
“We’re so grateful for Emily! She’s attentive, sweet, playful, and patient with our puppy, Frisbee and even helps with her training and tricks! For us she is responsive and reliable, giving us peace of mind when we’re away during the day. Frisbee looks forward to Emily’s visits!”
“AmariYah made this such a great experience, as this was our first time using Rover! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and it looks like our pets absolutely loved the experience too! She was very thoughtful and generous with her time, and her care of our little fur babies!”
“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!”

Emma was absolutely wonderful with my cat Amelia - attentive, timely, and so approachable that my cat loved her immediately. She was extremely flexible and helpful with some medication/health issues that Amelia was having, brought in packages, and even vacuumed/cleaned up fur without being asked to. Absolutely wonderful petsitter that I'll be looking forward to booking again for my next trip.
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.
Kyle was incredible! She was responsive to communication, always on time, gave us great updates, but most importantly she took great care of our boy. He usually stays with family when we are away and this was our first time using Rover for him. We were definitely nervous, but Kyle made it such an easy and seamless process. We couldn’t be happier ☺️
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! :)
We’re so grateful for Emily! She’s attentive, sweet, playful, and patient with our puppy, Frisbee and even helps with her training and tricks! For us she is responsive and reliable, giving us peace of mind when we’re away during the day. Frisbee looks forward to Emily’s visits!
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!!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Norwood on Rover is $19.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,324 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Norwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Norwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwood. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
