“Trula was exactly what we needed! Our elderly dog was well taken care of, and our house was left in perfect condition. Trula was attentive to our dog’s needs, and did a great job communicating with me while I was away. I highly recommend having Trula care for your pet!”
“Chanel is the very best and took excellent care of our beloved dog, Ralph. She sent us lots of sweet updates and videos of Ralph during our trip, much to the delight of our children who were missing him greatly. I hope she's always available when we go out of town!”
“Tabitha was kind, caring, and loving of our pets! She was very attentive to their personalities and sent us lots of photos, which we always appreciate when away from home. Would 100% recommend Tabitha to anyone!”
“Bryanna was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies! We got updates regularly and lots of photos. We really appreciated that she asked questions when needed instead of assuming or winging it, and she really put the needs of our pets first. We feel confident leaving the fur babies in her hands and we will be rebooking with her very soon!”
“Lindsey was wonderful with our two pugs, Penelope and Petunia! We came home to two very happy, very tired pups, which is always the best sign of a great time. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in caring, capable hands. We’d happily trust Lindsey with our girls again!”
“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”
“Anastasiya was great! She provided regular, photographic updates and it was obvious Carl was enjoying his time with her. She treated my home as if it were her own. She even cleaned the wet/muddy pawprints off the floors. I will definitely use her again!”
“Lucinda took good care of our Wheaten Terrier for several days while we were gone. She sent little updates and photos throughout the time which was comforting and appreciated. We would definitely enlist her service again.”
“Aspen is such a great house sitter! Our pups were well taken care of and given all the overnight cuddles they needed. Thank you so much Aspen for keeping our dogs and our home safe.”
“Christina was such a great sitter for our dog and cat. She was funny, communicative, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our boys-- just like we do. As a side note, when we returned our house was in great shape and she'd folded, done laundry, etc. Above expectations. I'd highly recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
Brayden and Sara were fantastic to work with. They house sat for us for about a week while we were out of town, caring for our three dogs. We’ll be the first to admit our pups aren’t the easiest crew, but Brayden and Sara went out of their way beforehand to learn their routines, quirks, and needs so everything would run smoothly. When a few small issues came up during the stay — which we’d anticipated, knowing our dogs, they let us know right away and handled everything calmly and competently. We never once felt like we had to manage things from afar, and it was a relief to come home to three happy, well cared for dogs and a house left in great shape. We’d absolutely book them again and highly recommend them to anyone with a full house of pets.
If you're ever unsure of leaving your animals, just leave it to Enya! She is a rockstar and we are so relieved to have found a petsitter that takes care of our babies as her own. Our rescue dog has high anxiety when separated from her humans, and we were nervous leaving her for the first time. She took a few days to warm up but Enya was gentle, patient, and considerate of her space and boundaries. By day two, our dog came around. Our cats absolutely adored her from the start and seemed to get along better for her than they ever have for us! Enya kept us updated on the regular and is quick to respond / shift care as needed. Our place was left exactly as she found it, and she even went above and beyond to make our animals' spots around the house even cozier. No need to look further, Enya is your girl!
Regan is incredible! She provided me with daily updates and photos which made my day. She kept my dog and cat so happy and entertained. They just love her so much! Plus she left our house so clean. We are so grateful to have her as our go-to so please don't book her when we need her 😆. Highly recommend!
I really appreciated how quickly Kate responded to my messages and coming over for a meet and greet after I reached out. Getting pictures and messages while we were away always made me happy, I knew she was they for them and they were getting attention. Thank you Kate.
This was the first time we have used someone outside the family to watch one of our pets while out of town. Even though Jax is a very sweet dog, he is not a fan of other dogs and this is where Catherine shined. She put our minds at ease by understanding his needs and communicating often. Will definitely use her services again!
Maddie was awsome!!!! She was a last minute request. She came and did a meet and great with in a few hours, my dogs were super happy with her. My very stubborn Shar-Pei loved her. My staffy was pretty needy, since she is on strick pre (knee) surgery protocol. I will definitely use Maddie again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Norwood on Rover is $58.28 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 4,629 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.

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.
