About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life and have always had pets, ranging from hedgehogs to donkeys! I am very passionate about animal care and ensuring all animals are pampered and well-loved. My family and I recently lost our two oldest pups, 16-year-old queen diva ZuZu Bailey and 10 year old loveable doofus Bandit. They were huge parts of our life and we miss them terribly, but through the loss we gained Stevie Nicks and Princess Buttercup. They love to play with others! They are accompanied by 2 cats who are treated like royalty and have their own enclosed catio with tunnels. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as giving medications or tending to special needs. Your pet(s) will be in a safe environment and receive the same love and attention as ours! I teach part-time, so I am often home during weekdays and always during summers. When I do work, I am only a short distance and can easily come home during the day to check on the furry friends. Our fenced, spacious yard is perfect for galavanting and play. Our youngest pup is still learning not to chew the remote and is kenneled only if she will be alone for an extended amount of time. Otherwise, dogs are free to roam in our house!

This was my first time using Rover, so I was nervous to leave my pup for the first time. I set up a few drop-in visits and Vivian came over for a quick meet-and-greet the day before. Vivian was on time and stayed with Felix longer than the drop-in window for couch cuddles and goofy pictures. I'll definitely be keeping her in mind should I need to leave Felix home during future travels.

My animals love Cory. He goes above and beyond, even taking my ten year old Pom Lily home with him during tornado warnings. I never have to worry with Cory taking care of my animals. He’s very responsible and kind.

Morgan has been our regular dog walker for a few months now! she’s been extremely reliable and accommodating to occasional shifts in schedule! Anytime we notice something behavioral we might want her to observe with our puppy, she provides great feedback! I absolutely trust her with our dog and recommend her highly!

About: I’ve been fostering adult dogs for the ARL for the last few years and have had so much fun getting to learn about a variety of breeds, personalities and behaviors. I’ve also had many pets throughout my life, including my current fur babies Raven (dog) and Lilo (cat). I’m currently working as a freelancer and am available throughout the day. I do participate in recreational sports on some evenings, otherwise I can be very flexible! I love to be outside and enjoy nothing more than letting dogs unwind on a long walk. I’m also happy to play fetch or tug, go to a nearby park or engage in whatever style of play your pup prefers.

I can't recommend Kassy highly enough! She did an exceptional job taking care of Bella. Kassy was incredibly detailed in her updates, providing thorough reports and sending plenty of pictures, which really put our minds at ease. Bella was clearly well taken care of, and we're so grateful for Kassy's attentive care

Absolutely amazing! This was my first time trying Rover and I look forward to using it again! Christina was amazing and responded quickly to my very short notice request. She was loving and caring to my 2 cats and my crazy high energy German Shepard. 10/10 would book with her again and will recommend to any fur parents I know in the future!

Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.

Rachel is amazing! Maybe a "cat whisperer?!" First time leaving my dog for more than 1 night. I loved the pics I got more than I expected! It eased my mind, so I could concentrate on my work trip duties. She gave great care & love to my 2 cats and 1 dog. Highly recommend! Good job, I will use again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Norwoodville on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 521 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Norwoodville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Norwoodville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

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.
