About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and have been professionally caring for animals for 6 years and have loved every pet like my own! Frequently praised by my kind and gentle approach, I have cared for elderly and special needs pets as well as boarded pets in my home. I have a 7 yo Husky Winter and 6 yo Corgi Max at home! Due to having kiddos in the house, I am no longer offering boarding or doggy daycare services. I am currently working from home and spend most weekends at home. I am available at most times of the day as well. Please let me know your needs so I can best accommodate. I will send pictures to you everyday and make sure they get lots of love while in my care! If there are any special toys, treats, areas of play, anything of the sort just let me know!
About: Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( : I commute to Salem Wednesday and Friday, which means my schedule during those days is usually pretty limited to anything after 430pm. Otherwise, my weekends are typically completely free and ready to be filled with whatever your fur babies need! Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.
“Amy was available to walk my high energy doodle on very last minute request. She was very communicative and took the best pictures of my dog. I’ll definitely use Amy again!”
“Helped me out in a last minute request! My pup was so settled after his walks, I knew they had a good time and quality exercise. Also got to meet her dog, very gentle and sweet. 10/10”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with over 20 years of experience caring for my own pets, as well as dogs and cats for friends and family. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, drop-in visit, fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime, or overnight care while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that gives you peace of mind while you’re away and keeps your pet happy in their familiar environment. I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and respectful of your home. I’ll treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a Senior IT Manager that works remotely Monday-Friday, I have incredible flexibility. I simply need reliable internet to work anywhere in the United States. I have experience caring for dogs that have full free range of the house and all furniture to those who have specific boundaries that need to be followed. I’m very comfortable abiding by all house rules within any setting. This loosely applies to cats who often only abide by their own rules! Haha
About: I’ve had fosters alongside my own pets my entire life, and couldn’t be more of an animal lover! I have an extra soft spot for seniors. I’m pet CPR & first aid certified, and have extensive experience with special needs pets. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love to do a meet and greet with your babies! I promise I will treat them as if they were my own. I make my own hours and am happy to be flexible when needed! Caring for animals is second nature to me, whether simple or complex. I have dependable transportation and don’t mind driving to you. I’m home full time so can also come for multiple walks in a day, or overnights.
About: I'm a positive reinforcement–based dog trainer. If you're working on training with your dog, I'm happy to reinforce those skills while you're away to help maintain the progress you've made. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, as well as dogs that may need a little extra patience or understanding. Every dog is different, and I think their care should reflect that. I'll tailor each visit to your dog's personality, routine, and needs. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which makes it easy to fit in walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I'm usually able to accommodate a variety of times for either one-time visits or something more regular. My goal is to stick to your dog's normal schedule and routines as closely as possible. Just let me know what that looks like, and I'll make it happen. When I'm in your home, I follow the Scout motto: "Leave it better than you found it." I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine.
About: Hi! Searching for someone to look after your fur babies? Whether it’s walking, bathing, feeding, playing, or spending the night, I’ve got you covered! I have taken care of dogs for 1 year now. I began with my mom’s clients, and now I am expanding to Rover. I know how important these little guys can be to one’s family, so I pour my all into my time with your pets. I am looking forward to meeting your fur babies! I am great with high energy pets, and I love to get close to those shy guys. I am taking full time online classes at PCC, so I am unemployed this summer. The classes are asynchronous, so I am able to work around you! I do plan on starting my CNA classes in August, which is around 8 hours a day, but I will update my availability when that time comes. I am basically available whenever I am needed. I know it can be scary for both you and your pets to let a stranger into your home, but my mission is to make your pets as comfortable as possible. I approach pets according to their specific needs. I follow whatever routine is necessary, and will go above and beyond to make your pet’s time with me the best it can be. I pay close attention to their behavior, and I adapt.
About: I am a frequent pet sitter and would be honored to help care for your special pets! Love animals of all kinds and have been around them my whole life! I have a flexible job that allows me to do drop in visits and accommodate any schedule. Happy to accommodate the needs of you and your pet. I have been housesitting for almost 10 years at this point, and meticulous when it comes to maintaining the home in perfect condition. I care for the animals and homes as if they were my own!
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 have had dogs for most of my life and have dog sat for many friends and family members. I now have two kids ages 3 and 8 that want a dog, but we are not able to commit to that right now so would love to spoil yours! They will be given tons of attention and affection, but will need to be fairly mellow as my kids get used to having a dog around - they are a little scared of very high-energy, jumpy dogs ;). I work from home Mondays and Fridays and I am generally around on the weekends, so they will have plenty of attention! I can do potty breaks every couple of hours and walks twice per day. I often go to parks and also play outside a lot with the kids, so there will be plenty of activity! I have a fenced yard and we often play outside in our cul de sac so would have them on a leash out front. I am happy to crate the dog if you are comfortable with that and bring one. They are welcome on our couches.
“Shelby was responsive to all communication and it was easy to work with her. She is flexible, which is great for me since I don't need someone daily, but intermittently. Barkley was happy to see me when I got home after a 12 hour day but he was not frantic like he is when I am gone 7! He was happy, fed, and quickly settled in for a quiet evening.”
About: I absolutely love animals and they are typically very comfortable with me. I have owned cats and dogs my whole life. I am comfortable administering meds and following specific care instructions. I would love to take care of your fur baby while you are away. I am very flexible right now. Trying to get a few consistent families to sit and/or walk for. Drop ins great too! Please reach out with questions. I am looking to care for your animals in your home or take them for walks in or around the area you live in. Since I have my own fur babies at home, it is easier for me to come to you!
“Elaine was a great help walking Homer while I was recovering from a back injury. She was prompt in responding to requests, bonded with Homer quickly, and provided detailed information about the walks, along with pictures. I will definitely use her in the future.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Norwood is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
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.
Rylie R was the first person I contacted to get a walker for my sisters dog who moved onto my property, and I’m glad I did! She’s prompt, good with the dog, and communicative about needs or concerns. I’ve been pleased with her work and have continued to hire her as my regular walker. Ricky loves her!

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.

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:
- 95% of walkers 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 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.
