“Norma is phenomenal! She’s not just a dog walker—she made us feel comfortable especially my rescue pup. My pup Lenny absolutely adores her, and I can see why. She’s so caring, attentive, and always goes above and beyond. Not only does she give Lenny great walks, but she also shares helpful tips that show how much she truly understands dogs. I feel so lucky to have found someone so trustworthy and kind. Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: Hey there! A little bit about me: I’ve been with Rover since 2021, but I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. From growing up with a Dalmatian and a Chihuahua to now having my 10 year old Lola (she lives with my parents), dogs and animals have always been part of my life. As a kid, I was always bringing home stray dogs and cats, making sure they found safe, loving homes. I also volunteered at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas, where I cared for a variety of animals—from rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets to snakes, tortoises, parrots, and even raccoons. Over the years, I’ve pet-sat for countless dogs, cats, and reptiles (I even cared for a friend’s chameleon for two months!). I have extensive experience with senior pets and those with medical needs. I cared for my own senior dog, who lived a happy, full life to the age of 16 and passed away in May 2025. I’ve also cared for many other senior dogs, including pets needing special attention, medication, or extra patience. I truly love all animals—dogs, cats, and everything in between—and I especially adore pets who enjoy a good cuddle. My promise is to care for your pet with the same love, patience, and kindness I’d give my own. Safety and comfort always come first, and I value details and clear directions so that both you and your pet feel secure and stress-free. I’m respectful and very mindful of clients’ homes. I always aim to leave everything just as I found it and you’ll never have to worry about me raiding your favorite snacks! :) I have a flexible schedule, though I kindly ask for at least a week’s notice when booking if possible. I understand that things can come up last minute, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable, and I tailor my care based on your specific instructions. No matter what, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to meeting you and your furry, scaly, or feathered family members! I'm looking for owners and families that need a one time sitter or a reoccurring sitter. Pet sitting is my full time job so really whenever I can I like to pick up pet sitting jobs. I currently pet sit often for a friend of mine. So depending on what your pet's schedule is like or what your schedule is like I can be as flexible as I need to be to accommodate your needs. I will provide the best care possible to your home and your pet/s. I am very respectful of people's space, and I am courteous to leave the home exactly the way I arrived. The way I care for pets is of course with love and care. I am an animal lover to the core, so it's pretty easy for me to get along with any animal I come across, especially dogs and cats. I would love to know any special information about the client's pets so that I can care for them as much as I need to and to protect the dog/cat(s) I am caring for, as well as other dogs/cats they may encounter on a walk. The more detail and specifics, the better!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Riviera. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Riviera after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
