About: I have always had at least one cat my whole life and since I was 10 years old, one (to several) dogs. Spending time with my dogs and husband is my favorite activity. I also have experience with guinea pigs, hamsters, and turtles. I work a full-time job from home and I am able to make my own schedule, I just need some heads up to accommodate a schedule change. I love my full time job, however, it is a desk job and I am really looking to get out more and would love to enjoy some walks with your dog! I am happy to do a meet and greet so that both you and your pup can feel comfortable with me and I know all of the important details to keep them safe and happy.
About: Hi! I’m Sarah. As a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I treat every dog like they're family and make sure they get plenty of love while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special instructions. Whether your pup loves long walks, backyard playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, I'll make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay. I currently have a young pup of my own, so I understand puppy energy, training consistency, and the importance of creating a safe, positive environment. I am currently working remote at home. I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and boarding throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I have a big fenced in yard and a friendly dog for good company. We live in a quiet family friendly neighborhood surrounded by sidewalks.
“OLIVIA was awesome watching my kitty while I was away! She followed all the instructions I asked for which was important to me not only because Buttons is disabled/special needs, but the little guy is also a bit *needy lol. You can tell shes def an animal lover and from the many pics she sent me, Buttons absolutely loved her. I had such peace of mind knowing he was well cared for and I dont think my furbaby noticed I was actually out of town, well not too much, lol.”
“I hate leaving my senior dog for any amount of time because she’s used to me being home all day with her. I had a weekend trip that I needed to take and I scheduled a few drop ins with Robyn (my son handled the overnight). I could not be happier. The updates and pics were amazing and I did not have to worry while I was away. She’s the best and was just what we needed! She even handled my crazy cat with no issues!”
About: I’ve owned dogs for the past 10 years. I helped raise my family’s dog and then got a puppy of my own at the end of 2023! I’m a very active person and absolutely love walking and running. Whether you've got an energetic dog that needs a lot of exercise or a relaxed dog (or cat!) that enjoys a chill stroll, I'm ready for it! My schedule during the day is very open right now, looking to fill it with lots of walks and games of fetch! My weekends and evenings tend to be a bit busier, but I can accommodate special requests if you let me know in advance! I’m happy to provide what ever care your dog needs in your home. Whether that is walks or simple play and pet time, I’m happy to be there.
About: Hi, I’m Naomi! I have over a year of experience with Wag, where I maintain a 5-star rating for reliable, loving pet care. In the past, I’ve worked with both a senior dogs and a puppies, handling daily walks, feeding, keeping them clean, and engaging them in play with toys and activities. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs and always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved, just like family. My schedule is highly flexible. I’m available during weekdays, weekends and most holidays. I’m able to stay overnight or for long periods of time as needed. I love to keep up the daily habits and schedule of the dog within the owner’s home. Create a seamless transition from pet parent to myself, so that there would be no gaps in care.
“Andi is fantastic! She accepted a last minute drop in booking when my scheduled sitter had a family emergency and had to cancel unexpectedly. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand was wonderful. Would happily rebook.”
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.
“Julianna was wonderful! She was communicative, quick to respond, and right on time for Georgia’s drop-in visits. She took great care of our pup and sent us the sweetest pictures and updates while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing Georgia was in good hands and can’t wait to book with her again!”
“My family has used Chealsea multiple times now. She’s super communicative and sends photos during her visit. Always makes us feel like our best little guy is happy and taken care of.”
About: I have two dogs that I have taken care of for years and I have many years of experience with pet sitting and dog walking. I am available most weekdays and weekends for pet sitting and/or dog walking and I can often even if I’m given short notice. I have experience caring for dogs. I can feed and walk pets, tend to their various needs, and keep them entertained if they are energetic.
About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 25. Taking care of an animal is giving more color to life and making it happier. I'm always available after 3pm. I always have my day off on Friday and Saturday, totally free. I don't have children and I love animals. I like to play with the animal, I always take a toy, I like to give affection, I am always affectionate and kind to the pets.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
We are so lucky to have found Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Marnie. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and I could tell she was taking care of our dog like she was her own. She was reliable and I could enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog or my house. Will DEFINITELY be using Rachel to watch Marnie in the future.
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!
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.

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.
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.
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 .

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.

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.
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.
