“Emalynn took great care of our cat and made it easy for us to leave on vacation. We were confident that our cat was in good hands. I would highly recommend her and would book again.”
“I can't thank Alex enough for her care of my nervous and sometimes intimidating dog during her recent check-in. Alex is patient and dedicated, and made sure Chubbs felt comfortable and well taken care of. She's trustworthy and reliable, and I felt really good about her helping out while I was away. It's clear that she has a natural affinity for animals, her relaxed demeanor around Chubbs is so comforting. If you are reluctant, trust me, hire Alex, you won’t be disappointed.”
About: Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, or Basic Training I can help you with your furry family member. I always get anxious when I have to leave my dog when I have to go on a trip, so I understand how important this is for you and your family. Let me know what your needs are and we can work out a schedule that works for both of us. My schedule is fairly flexible. We have a large fenced property that allows for lot's of room to run and exercise. It is mostly farmland and is completely fenced and safe. We fenced off 1.5 acres specifically for dog play.
“It is such a relief to know that there’s someone I can totally rely on to take care of my cats while I’m gone. Kelsey did a great job with all instructions, communication, and keeping my babies safe.”
“Kaelin is absolutely amazing! She took on the challenge of caring for my pack of Frenchies and exceeded my expectations. She was in constant communication during every drop-in visit and my dogs just love her. We are so grateful to have found her and she will our go-to pet sitter anytime we need one.”
About: Hello, I’d love to be your next pet sitter! I love other animals like they are my own & have strong passion for animals since i was young. I do have a part time job working two days a week in the evening but other than that I’m free to take care of your fur babies. I can house sit/ stay the night at your house, or check on pets a few times a day or give them walks. I’d love to know more about the pet(s) routine and set up a meet and greet for new clients. I’ve had years & years of pet experience with my own dog, cat, guinea pigs.. & family members pets. I’ve always watched & took care of my family’s pets when they were away, & when animals had seperation anxiety or felt sick. I know the right things to do when they feel anxious. & We can set up a meeting if that’s what you’re comfortable with. :) I’ve worked at Petsmart as a dog bather, and worked as a kennel assistant in a vet office. I’ve volunteered for animal organizations and I’d love to spend as much time as I can with your fur babies! Currently my schedule is very flexible, & it’s always in my daily routine & I make sure they are good & taken care of always! I take care of my cat daily and make sure he’s always occupied with play time and cuddles, and I always make sure that my pet and others pets are happy and feeling comfortable.
About: I have had dogs my whole life as well as cats and a few other random buddies. I currently own 3 dogs and 3 cats so I know they need love and attention many times a day just like a kid, and I will treat them like I treat my own loved ones. I currently do gig work full time and thus have a fully open schedule. I am able and willing to be there for your animals and house needs at any given hour. I am not currently offering care in my own home as I do not have the capacity of a correct home to take care of your loved ones since I already have my own friends in mine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 312 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shady Cove. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
