About: My first memory was reaching out to pet the family dog and by the age of 8 I was the main care taker and trainer of our family pets (Sheltie, Poodle, Akita, Bearded Dragon). By 14 began pet sitting ranging from puppies at 8 months to senior dogs at 17 years old. I have cared for many of my neighbors pets that includes cats, hedgehogs, and hamsters. As I got older, I became braver and currently have two snakes. I am home full time and typically start my day with a morning walk which is always more appreciated with a four legged friend or two. In my care I offer daily updates and photos. For check-ins I typically stay for an hour to ensure the pets are well taken care of as well as provide extra walks or play time for the more energetic.
About: What sets me apart is my calm and gentle demeanor, especially beneficial for anxious or shy pets. I create a peaceful and reassuring environment, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I'm skilled at reading their body language and adapting my approach to their individual needs. I'm also very patient and understanding, giving them the time they need to adjust. I'm experienced in creating a safe and comfortable space, and I am very good at slow introductions. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I believe in providing consistent care, so I establish regular feeding and walk schedules. I'm also flexible and adapt to each pet's unique needs. Throughout the day, I monitor their behavior and ensure they have fresh water and playtime. I genuinely love spending time with animals and providing them with the best possible care. My approach to pet care is built on providing a safe, happy, and healthy environment for every animal. Here's what that looks like: * Routine and Consistency: I understand the importance of routine, so I strictly follow feeding schedules and exercise plans provided by owners. * Personalized Attention: Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs. Some dogs love fetch, while others prefer gentle cuddles. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences. For example, with shy cats, I use slow, gentle movements and let them approach me on their own terms.

About: I have been the go-to of family and friends for pet watching needs. I have 13 years experience caring for both cats and dogs. I prioritize creating a friendly relationship with your pets to provide the best care! I’m currently working full time and I am completing my masters of public health part time online two nights a week, but with my time management, I make caring for pets a priority. I believe it’s important to meet your pets in person before the service to create a safe and trusting relationship for the both of us.
“Alexis did drop in visits for my cat Seshu over two weeks. She communicated consistently and clearly took excellent care of him. He was at ease when I returned. Would definitely repeat.”
About: I have been fostering puppies for over a year. I have walked, bathed, fed, and made sure that all my dogs have the TLC they need to to feel loved. I am currently full time but I am available in the morning time to drop in to let you pup out or feed your cat. I work right in the ridley area. At my house, both dogs are crated when we are not home and we have a fenced in yard for them to go out to use the bathroom. In clients homes, I am happy to let your pup out of their crates and give them what they need such as a walk, playtime in a fenced in yard, feed and if needed bathe and nail trim. I have my own nail trimmers if clients prefer me to use my own.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities and love them all! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies through their senior years. I recently said goodbye to my Boxador, who fell ill and required special care for many months. Whether shy, spirited, or somewhere in between, I tailor my care to each dog’s personality and needs. I have cared for pups with health challenges and am confident in my ability to provide gentle, reliable support, including medication administration and comfort-focused care. My schedule is currently flexible, allowing for morning, daytime, and evening care. I am available as needed for walks, play time, boarding, and any other adventure that brings your pup joy. In my home, dogs are more than guests. So long as it is okay with their guardian, pets here are welcome to lounge on furniture and sleep wherever they feel most comfortable. My back yard is full fenced in (privacy fencing on both sides and secure, post fencing in the back facing a wooded area). I live in a very safe, walkable neighborhood for those that enjoy a stroll. It is very important to me to respect my client's care instructions, regardless of my own experiences or preferences. I will make every effort to maintain consistency and ensure your pup feels at home at all times.
About: I have a lot of experience in taking care of animals of all sizes from my dogs and cats to the ones I take care of at work.

Whether you want your dogs on leash or off leash I will make sure they have everything they need.

Whether it’s a walk or just some playtime, I make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.

Jacqueline 🐕🦺🐾 was great. While I was away, she took time out of her schedule to check on both my cat and dog. They both enjoyed our company very much. She was kind, timely, and responsive to all of my messages. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.
Karen was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She is reliable, caring and kept me updated with photos and messages. My dogs were so well cared for and I could see how happy and content they were in the photos! Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone!
Amy was dependable and knowledgeable about animals. She made sure our pet had every she needed. Amy made our pet feel comfortable and communicated with us each time she came to visit. Amy was also very thorough with communicating with us. I would definitely recommend Amy and use her again!
Chelsea and John were very considerate, kind, and took really great care of my pup!! Even helped me out in a bind during the snow storm. My pup was a happy camper and I was relieved to have someone watch her during the unplanned snow storm. I will definitely use their services again.
We absolutely love working with Rachel! She always provides detailed updates and great photos, which give us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We’ve used her multiple times now, and we trust her completely with our fur baby. It’s clear how much she cares, and we truly appreciate her reliability, kindness, and the wonderful care she gives. Highly recommend Rachel!

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.
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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Norwood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
