“I’m thankful to come across Lissette and her wonderful family! They stole my heart on our meet and greet and Bella was such a fan! She immediately became comfortable and showed her true colors as being bossy and the ring leader. Lissette shared updates throughout the day, without having to ask which brought such a measure of peace. I would highly recommend Lissette and will continue to use her in all my future bookings.”
“Riley is simply the best dog sitter you can search for. She is conscientious, organized, responsive, and she loves dogs. Her way with dogs is special; she paid attention to our dog for the week we booked, and the entire time we were away, we were at ease knowing our dog was cared for like family. It is without reservation that we give the highest rating for Riley - again, simply the best!”
“Hope is amazing! She was very communicative and provided us with the best pictures and updates of Biscuit. We appreciate her time and flexibility with our schedules and look forward to seeing her and Loretta again soon!”
“I fully recommend Heather. Our dog had a great time with her and her family. She sent us updates every day, and we could see how well our dog was doing. Their location is also great - a paradise for any dog who likes to run around and play.”
“Kathryn was great with our 7 month old cavalier mix. You can tell she loves what she does & I immediately felt safe leaving her. I highly recommend her & will be using her going forward for any overnight stays in the future!”
“Brianne was great! Worked very well with my drop off and pickup times. The dogs had a big yard the even my one escape artist couldn’t find a hole in. I’ll definitely be using her for any future trips!”
“Julie and her family took wonderful care of Willa! She got to go on plenty of walks and enjoyed lots of snuggles. Julie sent pictures and was easy to communicate with. Willa came home happy and we will definitely book with her again!”
“Paige took excellent care of my dog, Maggie, for over two weeks. She provided daily updates, photos, and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while traveling. Paige was also very helpful and flexible with scheduling, and she kindly accommodated an extension when I requested one. Maggie was treated like one of her own and had an absolute blast with Paige and her puppies. Thank you so much, Paige!”
“She took super good care of our puppers and followed all of our care instructions! We left our dog for a whole week while we went down to Mexico and we didn’t worry about him cause we knew he was in great hands. Will book with Reilly again!”
About: I am definitely the biggest animal lover you will get to know! For years i’ve cared for and trained a wide range of animals wild and domestic. I’ve also worked in shelters and rescue centers to helped troubled dogs and cats. I have experience handling about every personality type of animal and sizes + quantities. Every animal I meet, I treat with the same love and care as my own fur babies. I cant wait to take care of your beloved furry friends!! I have plenty of time to dedicate to all the lovely animals i work with! Im a full time student in college but only enrolled in online classes so I have a very flexible schedule. I have 3 dogs of my own who I spend most my days with but I have also been fostering many dogs up until now. I can work with crate dogs, big, small, basically anything I am ready to take on. Im by the book so you tell me how you want things done and it’ll be exactly that way.
“I think one of the best signs of a great sitter is a tired pup!! Addie had the best time with Michelle. From the very beginning, they were kind, caring, and treated our pet like their own. I received regular updates and pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our fur baby was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!”
“Nadia was absolutely fantastic. We received daily updates on how our dog was doing and knew that she was very well taken care of. Nadia ensures that the dogs under her care get plenty of exercise/outside time and receive oodles of affection. I would highly recommend her!”
“Danielle took my last minute request to board Luna at her house. She was an AMAZING sitter. When we met her (since this was our first time meeting) she had a pen and paper ready to write down what Luna needed. Throughout her stay, Danielle sent lots of adorable pictures of play time and it made me feel at peace knowing Luna was in good hands. Her messages provided lots of updates with how Luna was doing and any pet who has her as a sitter is blessed to have found her!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our dogs while we were on vacation! And a special thank you for taking care of Joey while he wasn’t feeling well. You guys are awesome!”
“Meagan accepted my booking request to watch my dog very last minute due to a family emergency. She was available and willing to help, and she did a great job with him! She sent me pictures of him while I was gone, and he seemed very happy when we got there to pick him back up! He is totally worn out from all the playing, and he seems to have had a great time. Will definitely be using her again!”
“10/10 would absolutely book with her again! she was so prompt and responsive leading up to ollie’s stay, and she was incredibly accommodating. as soon as i arrived, she immediately made me feel like ollie was in good hands, which gave me so much peace of mind. he had such a fun time staying with her and even got to see goats, which was definitely a highlight! i really appreciated how caring and attentive she was with him.🩷”
“Tiffanie has such a calm and loving energy! She showed a great deal of experience, asking all kinds of thoughtful questions during our meet n greet, and while caring for our boys she provided frequent updates and plenty of pictures. I will definitely request her services again the next time we travel, she was wonderful.”
“Alyssa and Sean are fantastic! They took such good care of my French Bulldog for a few days. They are extremely nice and you can tell they love taking good care of dogs! I was extremely comfortable with leaving Stewie with them! I will definitely use them again when I’m in the area! I highly recommend them!”

Oliver had a wonderful stay at James’! He was well cared for, happy, and comfortable when we picked him up. Oliver also got well acquainted with Spike, the most adorable good boy! James was great with communication and made us feel completely at ease. We would definitely recommend James and would happily have Oliver stay with him again! 🐾❤️
Melissa was terrific and super accommodating. This was a last minute booking on a holiday weekend and she still made the time to do a meet and greet and was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Melissa sent pictures and was very communicative through the whole stay. I appreciate her and her family for their care of Elle!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Norwood is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 of November 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Norwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Norwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Norwood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Norwood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwood. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
You and your Norwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
