“Shawna is absolutely amazing! I had a sitter suddenly be unavailable over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend when I was out of town. Shawna immediately offered her care for my diabetic senior kitty, Margo! She did an excellent job administering insulin. Especially with Margo having behavioral issues due to a severe arthritis flare-up, as I discovered upon taking her to the vet today. Margo was angry because she was in a lot of pain, upset I was gone, and wasn’t eating. Shawna worked with my brother to bring her comfort and get her the care she needed. I am very pleased with the quality of care Shawna provided!”
About: Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I have many years caring and looking after animals of all shapes and sizes. I love getting to know pets and their unique personalities. I love taking walks and giving as many cuddles as they will accept. I will accommodate the needs and routines of your pets to ensure they feel as cared for as when their humans are home. With me they will be safe and loved. I am recently retired and have flexibility to accommodate the needs of your fur babies. I am available morning, afternoon, and evenings on most days. I will do my best to make it work for your pet. Your pet's safety and comfort will always be my top priority. They will find a calm and loving space with me with minimal disruption to their routines. I will follow all instructions closely given and make your pet feel as if you never left.
About: I’ve had my own dog for 16 years. I’ve traveled to Texas on various occasions over the last 3 years to dog sit my daughter/son-in law’s 2 dogs. Enjoy taking dogs for walks to get them exercise. I’m a retired police officer that currently isn’t working so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and a lot of availability to care for your pets. I will take dogs for walks to get exercise if needed and hang out and show them love and attention while their family is away.
About: My family has a dog of our own that I have helped care for, for 15 years! I’ve also helped take care of a few other dogs for vacationing families. I am currently working 8/9am to 4:30pm Monday-Friday. On the weekends that I am available, I am much more available to take your pet out as often as needed! I am happy to accommodate any needs your pet requires to feel safe and comfortable! Whatever their eating, sleeping, and walking routine is, I will do my best to keep it intact!
“Lexi did a great job watching Theo and Harvey! I really appreciated how thorough her preparation was to ensure the cats were taken care of. Additionally, her communication and pictures gave me peace of mind through the whole experience. I would definitely recommend Lexi!”

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.
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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 sitter.
