“We were a little nervous since this was our first time using Rover, but Samantha made the entire experience so easy. We appreciated receiving all the regular updates with lots of pictures, and quick communication. It was clear our pet was in good hands with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with again with Samantha and highly recommend her to anyone in the area!”
“Haily is excellent! She took amazing care of my three cats — their food bowls were always spotless, and the water was always fresh. She even watered my plants and kept everything tidy. Her communication is outstanding, always keeping me updated and at ease while I was away. I truly appreciate her reliability and care. I’ll definitely be booking with Haily again and again — highly recommended!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone on vacation. She was prompt, reliable, gained the trust of my shy cat, and took daily pics of her. I was able to travel comfortably without worrying how she was doing. I plan to use her when I travel again.”
About: As a professional hypnotherapist specializing in emotional trauma, I bring a calm, empathetic presence to pet care. Combined with my nannying background and experience raising three dogs from puppy (2 Bullterriers & 1 Staffordshire mix) and currently caring for my recently adopted 1.5 year old female doberman, I create a balanced environment perfect for soothing anxious pets, and caring for dogs of all ages I am currently building my business and have plenty of flexible home office time, so there is lots of time and opportunity to go for walks and play time. Our home is roomy & secure and I can fit a small to medium crate if needed. We have lots of walkways and I love to go take dog for beach walks or easy hikes when I can
“Hayley was amazing in accommodating our last-minute request for a drop-in visit for Coco. It’s such a relief knowing we can count on her when we have to be out during the day. Her reliability and care mean so much to us, and Coco always seems happy after her visits. Highly recommend Hayley to anyone!”
About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!
“This was my first time ever having to use a sitter for my boys and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! My boys were so well taken care of and she managed to get Salem to come out of his shell, he has never been this comfortable with anyone outside of the family before so I will definitely be requesting her services again whenever we need to and she’s available!”
“I reached out to Sean based off a positive recommendation and am so glad I did! Sean is an animal lover through and through and understands what it’s like being away from fur babies. He kept me updated with pictures and videos and loved on all my kitties for me! Highly recommend!”
“Veronica has been a wonderful pet sitter for our two kitties!! We have booked her twice and would choose her again without hesitation. She has exceptional care, reliability, and a genuine love for animals!”
About: Hi! I’m Charlotte, an active-duty U.S. Army soldier stationed at Fort Shafter. I grew up with dogs throughout my childhood and have had several family dogs over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, fresh water, or just some extra attention while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and kindness I’d want for my own pets. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive on time, and send updates with photos so you know your pet is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! My Army work schedule keeps me busy during the day, but I’m available for pet care every weekday from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM. On weekends, I’m available continuously from 5:00 PM on Friday until 5:00 AM on Monday, making me available for weekend house sitting, overnight care, walks, and drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care and will keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. During every visit, I’ll send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for while you’re away. I’ll always respect your home and treat your pet like one of my own. Because I live in the barracks, I currently provide dog walking and drop-in visits at your home rather than boarding pets.
“I booked Josie last minute to watch my furbabies and she was so accommodating. She was really friendly upon meeting and my babies warmed up to her quickly. I loved that she left detailed messages about her drop in visits and took such cute pictures of my pets. It was a relief to know that they were in good hands and were being well taken care of while I was gone. This is my first experience with Rover and it was a great one. I will for sure use Josie in the future!”
“Caroline was absolutely amazing with our fur baby Cheeb! 🐾 From the very beginning she was responsive, reliable, and so kind. She took great care of him making sure he was well-fed, had fresh water, and got plenty of love and attention. I felt so comfortable knowing he was in her hands while we were away. She even went above and beyond helping with little things around the house, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy and relaxed kitty, which says it all! I would 100% recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Lily is great with my girls! Great communication, and she even did a mini photo shoot with them for Christmas which was so sweet. You can tell she really cares about the pets she watches. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. My family dog, Buddy, is 12 years old, and we’ve had him since I was in 7th grade. Even after moving out, I still help care for him by taking him on his midday walks and spending time with him whenever I can. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I also understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet isn’t always easy. If I were hiring someone to care for Buddy, I’d want someone who is dependable, respectful, and keeps me updated every step of the way—and that’s exactly the kind of sitter I strive to be. I’m very communicative, flexible, and reliable. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and send plenty of updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and having a great time. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. Since I’m home most days, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home where they’re most relaxed. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Shafter
Caroline has been awesome! She drops in with my pup during the day to give him some play time, potty time, and fresh water. Axl has been having so much fun with her! She’s very communicative and is always on time. She takes great pics of our little guy, and gives the best updates on the Rover card. We look forward to booking with Caroline again!
We were a little nervous since this was our first time using Rover, but Samantha made the entire experience so easy. We appreciated receiving all the regular updates with lots of pictures, and quick communication. It was clear our pet was in good hands with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with again with Samantha and highly recommend her to anyone in the area!
Very grateful and appreciative of Chloe’s help with dropping by daily to check in on my dog while I was away on a last-minute vacation for over a week! She provided daily updates with pictures and is professional, courteous and kind. My neighbors also happened to meet her when she visited and said the same. She was a pleasure and easy-going to work with! Would recommend again.
I cannot thank Jamie enough for taking care of my baby, Rhombus, while I was on a long trip. My friends have always come to check on her and say they never see her but Jamie got Rhombus to warm up to her on day 1! I’m super impressed and will definitely book her again!
Kristina has helped take care of my senior cat twice and has been great both times! She was available even on short notice the second time. I have a hard time leaving my cat and worry a lot, but Kristina’s photos and updates during each visit make me feel much better. Very communicative throughout as well. I know my kitty is in good hands as her knowledge and care for animals is evident - she was even able to administer my cat’s medications while we were gone. I am so happy to have found someone I can trust and would recommend Kristina to anyone looking for care!
Tamah went above and beyond for our cats. One of our pets was put on emergency antibiotics days before our trip was scheduled. Tamah did an amazing job making sure she was given her medicine daily and sent us lots of updates. I would absolutely have her back! 10/10!
I feel really lucky to have found Derrica. She was so flexible and easy to work with, which made everything feel a lot less stressful from the start. What meant the most to me was how genuinely caring she is. You can just tell she really loves the animals she’s watching. She kept me updated with the best pictures, which I genuinely looked forward to, and she was always quick to reach out if anything came up. That kind of communication made such a difference and gave me real peace of mind. And honestly, Virgo loving her said everything. It was clear she felt comfortable and happy with her, which means the world to me. I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable, kind, and attentive. I would absolutely trust Derrica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet.
Taylor was so amazing with our boys! They welcomed her from the get-go, including our shy boy. I didn't have to worry at all. She provided pics for updates, which was a plus! She went above and beyond for what I expected. I would have her pet-sit in a heartbeat again. 🤗 thank you so much, Taylor. 😄
Brandi is great! She is very communicative and is always on time. My two pups absolutely love her! She brightens their day when she comes over to give them a potty break during our long work hours. Our older dog has some health problems and she gives him his mid-day mediation. Their quality of life is so much better now that she’s a part of it!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of Boba and for making sure she got her medicine. I know she definitely didn’t make it easy, so I really appreciate your patience, kindness, and dedication. It means a lot to know she was in good hands. Thank you again!
He is absolutely awesome! This was my first time hiring a pet sitter while I was away, and he went above and beyond from the very beginning. He stopped by the day before my trip so we could go over everything in person, which immediately made me feel comfortable and reassured. During my trip, he kept me updated with photos and detailed messages, which I truly appreciated. He even took the initiative to replace the battery in my smoke detector when it started making a loud noise and caused my cats to hide under the bed ... That level of care really meant a lot to me. My cats were clearly very comfortable with him and seemed happy and relaxed the entire time. If I ever need a pet sitter again, I will definitely be asking him for help. Highly recommend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Shafter 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Shafter. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
