About: Hello! My name is Bozhena, and I'm an avid animal lover. I previously (while I was living with my parents) shared my home with four wonderful cats: Nimbus Light, who's 17 years old and has a light-colored coat; Valentine, an 11-year-old black cat whom we affectionately call 'Valenok' due to his Russian roots, as he loves to lounge around; FireFox, a spirited 5-year-old cat with fiery fur, full of energy and impulsiveness; and Angel, the youngest at 1 year old, who we considered naming Bubbles for his shy demeanor and preference for firm surfaces over fluffy beds. He's a natural angel with a voice that sounds angelic. In addition to my feline companions, I have a cheerful White Swiss Shepherd named Jester. As an animal lover, I provide care not only for my own pets but also for those of my friends who entrust me with their furry friends. I have a deep connection with animals and strive to be a friend to every pet I encounter. I look forward to meeting and caring for your beloved companion! I recently moved into my own place, leaving behind the warmth and joy of living with fluffy tails. However, my heart yearns to welcome one or more furry companions into my home again. As soon as I'm certain that I can provide them with the love, care, and comfort they deserve, I'll eagerly open my doors to them, ready to create new memories and cherish every moment together! Hello! I'm Bozhena, 21 years old, and I've spent my entire life with furry and feathered friends. Besides cats and dogs, I've had experience caring for rats, parrots, hamsters, and fish, so I can confidently say I know a lot about various pets. Currently, I'm not working, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to helping you with your pets. Every owner has their own requirements for pet care. Tell me about your pet, and based on your information, I'll follow the care guidelines for your animals.

About: I've always been an admirer of animals and have a respect for their individual personalities. While their safety is my utmost priority, I realize that a solid rapport is just as necessary. I feel that walks are not just necessary for their relief but also to maintain their physical and mental well-being. I prefer to let your dog go at its own pace, whether relaxed or energetic, but also to let them enjoy their surroundings at their leisure. When we're at home, I'm always down to play with your pet, sit with them quietly, or give them their space. I'm a musician with a flexible schedule so it's easy for me to work around the needs of clients and their pets. I have plenty of time for walks during the day and many evenings are free for sitting. I always follow a client's detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, and hygiene, and medicine. I always do my best to make sure the animal knows I'm there to be their friend and to take care of them.

About: I was taught that caring for someone's home and loved ones is a true privilege. I bring that same philosophy to every pet I care for, treating them with the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I was raised around multiple dogs and cats in our home from the moment I was born all the way to now. We considered them family and always cared for them with the utmost love and care. As an adult I have cared for my pets with zero incidence. After college I walked three dogs for over a year each and loved absolutely every moment of it. All without incidence. These were some of the most fun moments in my career in my 20's. Now, I have free time and would love to occupy that free time with taking care of other people's animals again. I am all of my friends go-to pet sitter. Both in my home and theirs. Known as "Auntie Nushie and a dog-god-mother to many. I nurse birds back to health, I don't kill insects, and I bring a level of calm energy to even the most chaotic of scenarios. My own dogs and cats are testimony to my ability to train puppies and socialize kittens. So, if you have fur babies, I will have organized training sessions with them. Whatever your pets needs, I am here for them! Whether it's an energetic walk, medication administration, senior care, or simply keeping them company while you're away, I naturally make all animals feel safe, happy, and at ease. I am punctual, tidy, responsible, and a great communicator; who may or may not take extremely great portraits of animals. I want your pets to feel excited when I arrive, loved while you're away, and relaxed when you come home. And for you, I hope every update and photo gives you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands. I currently work from home and have an open availability. I will not be available before 9AM on week days and 11AM on weekends. I sometimes travel for work but will give you a 4 days advance notice. Prefer having a set schedule for walking, pet sitting, or drop off. Your Home: I leave everything better than I found it. If it's a rainy day? No coming home to muddy footprints. If I come over and a dog has had an accident, I clean up after them. I send updates at the beginning and end of each visit. I am very responsible and have always locked up after myself. Zero incidences of gates left open, dogs running off their leash, confrontations with other animals, and never any safety concerns. My Home: I have 2 small dogs, Luna and Hank who both love other dogs. My cat loves dogs (even other cats) as well. She spends most of her days laying out in the yard and my dogs are always glued to my hip. My yard is large, fenced in, and has both shady and sunny areas. I have 3 separate water bowls around the house and keep the bowls sanitized and full. If you have special food or treats, I will gladly keep them here separate for your pet. I have a large 4 bedroom home with 2 living rooms. Even on the rainiest days, there is plenty of room here to have playtime.

About: Hello, Kelley here! I have extensive experience with pet care, but I also provide house plant and homestead care including farm animals and gardening. I have had experience with dogs, cats, fish, snakes, goats, and chickens! I’ve also administered medication (pills and injections) to dogs and cats. HOUSE SITTING: Can include dog/cat care, walks, plant care, all other non-canine or feline pets, house duties like trash, etc. and anything included in the regular house routine. I include light cleaning to pick up after myself and will leave the home as I found it before. Each booking price is dependent on the demand of your pet/needs and charges may apply for additional duties. I am happy to add additional services like deep cleaning at an additional cost. Homes must be relatively clean and livable. My fees are flexible, just ask! I work part-time as a nanny on Wednesdays and Fridays from 10:30am–5:00pm. Outside of those hours, my schedule is quite flexible, and I have plenty of availability for pet care. I’m also generally flexible about adjusting my schedule around a pet’s routine, including regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with an established routine. Your dog(s) and cat(s) will be treated like family while in my care and will be showered with attention and love. I’ll proactively send pictures of our time together so your mind is at ease and you won’t have to worry about them during your trip.

About: Having a rescue dog of my own, I am well-versed in the love, patience, and unique adjustments needed to care for animals. From tiny lapdogs to gentle giants, and high-energy athletes to professional couch potatoes, I adapt my approach to exactly what your dog needs to feel safe and happy while you are away. Care for Different Dog Personalities: High-Energy & Active: Need a running buddy or intense fetch sessions? I love keeping active dogs moving and properly stimulated. Low-Energy & Seniors: Perfect for slow walks and peaceful companionship. Big & Small Breeds: Completely comfortable managing large breeds that require confident handling, as well as small dogs who need a delicate touch. Rescue & Anxious Dogs: My experience with rescues means I understand body language, and building trust at their own pace with an emphasis on boundaries. I have an incredibly flexible schedule, with no other current employment. I work around your dog’s specific routine so their schedule doesn't skip a beat. I’ve spent my life caring for neighborhood and friends' pets, alongside my own dog's best friends.I treat your home with the same care and respect I treat your furry family members. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving you total peace of mind! I recently relocated back to the beautiful Portland area and am fully dedicating my time to animal care! I am incredibly excited to integrate pet care into my daily routine, and my completely open and flexible schedule (unemployed) means I can adapt seamlessly to your exact needs. Whether you need mid-day dog walks while you’re at work or dedicated house-sitting in any neighborhood across town, I’m ready to step in. Because I have zero scheduling conflicts, your furry friend will receive my undivided attention including tailored exercise and plenty of love while you are away. Being an animal person, attention and pet-based care are my highest priority. If your dog is active, I will happily take them on adventures and if they are a couch potato who loves to cuddle, then a calm day/weekend is always appreciated. Having a high energy dog myself, I understand and respect the specific needs of each animal for them to be their best self.

About: Ever since I was a little girl, my family has had dogs (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s) that I’ve helped take care of and watch. I’ve also helped neighbors and friends watch their dogs both bigger and small dogs as well. I’ve experienced dog-sitting for those who need a little more senior dog attention to younger dogs that are more playful, and have always been very good with animals. My schedule is currently can be flexible, so I can make time to hang out and play with your dogs or cats. I’m available weekdays during the day, generally after 10am and before 4pm I am very good with animals and helping them feel comfortable. For drop-in visits and dog-walking, I’m good at sending little updates on your pets with each visit.

About: Pets are my passion, I’m here to share my knowledge and experience to help you and your loved one(s). I’ve cared for more than dogs, cats, and rabbits. I’m happy to look after reptiles, birds and small animals as well. In addition to basic pet sitting needs, I’m also experienced with behavioral training, puppy basics, grooming and medicating. All animal care plans will be thoroughly created at meet and greet, I will not deviate from the plan so please include things like ~ how many treats per day, are any people foods ok to share (carrots, yogurt etc), the song we play in the morning to get out of bed - sometimes small requests seem silly but it’s part of your daily life and I understand how matching a routine makes your pet more comfortable. Please feel free to bring these up as well so they can be included. I’m openly available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with options for drop ins or walks throughout the rest of the week in the mornings or evenings. All of your house rules will be respected and followed of course. If your pup isn’t allowed on the sofa, we can snuggle on the floor. Do you have a super stealthy door - dashing cat? I currently live with one and know how important it is to closely monitor where the cat is when you’re going through the door.

Tabitha is awesome! Tabitha tuned in to my senior dog Charlie and his needs as he went on his walk. I injured my knee and couldn't walk Charlie. He loves his walks so having you help out when our other Rover Care Giver for Charlie wasn't available to walk him, thank you Tabitha for helping out. You are truly a Godsend.

Here’s a natural, Rover-style review you could post: Christopher was absolutely fantastic with our dog. From the moment we met him, it was clear that he genuinely loves and cares about animals. He was always on time, communicative, and went above and beyond during every visit. He took our dog on great walks around the neighborhood and even picked up the pace and ran with him when he wanted to run, which our dog absolutely loved. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup every time. Christopher was reliable, attentive, and treated our dog like his own. We’ve used several dog walkers over the years, and Christopher is easily the best we’ve ever had. We wouldn’t hesitate to book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Norwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Norwood is $13 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 6,519 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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Norwood after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 , 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 .

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

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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 walker.
