“AWESOME service. She quickly responded to a last min request during a family emergency and went above and beyond with her sense of urgency, puppy scratches, and communication. Will definitely reach back out.”

About: Hi! My name’s Kristen! I’ve been raising dogs since I was a child. I’ve cared for dogs as small as Chihuahuas to dogs as big as Border Collies, though I’m willing to care for larger dogs. There’s nothing I love more than caring for dogs! I’ve tended to walk dogs regularly (every 3-5 hours), and absolutely adore playing with them! Alongside my experience with dogs, I’ve also taken care of cats in the past, only for about a year. Throughout pet raising/pet-sitting days, I’ve raised 3 dogs and cared for 2 cats. I’m willing to care for any pet, no matter their temperament or energy levels. I look forward to pet-sitting/walking for you! I am currently seeking for a job, but that can only mean more time to spend with your pets! I am available whenever need be, and look forward to watching your fur babies for you :) In my home environments, I’ve always kept dogs’ and cats’ safety, as well as owners’ boundaries, my main priority. If there’s a part of the house closed off for the pet, for whatever the reason may be, I’m always willing to ensure that the pet and your home are safe. I’m very familiar with pet-proofing, as well. I.E - putting away shoes so they won’t get chewed up, or keeping trash lids on, so that there’s no mess. Again, pet safety and owners’ boundaries are extremely important to me and I will follow any rule you may have to make sure all is well in your home and around your pet.
“Once again Samantha saves the day! She's so helpful and I appreciate her flexibility to help out with our pups, ducks and fish! Super grateful for her and she is definitely our go-to! Highly recommend! Thank you!!”
“Karin was the best with our Sunny. She's very sweet and she sent us pictures of every visit. This was our first time using Rover and she made it the best experience for us. Will definitely be rebooking with Karin on our next trip.”
About: Animals have been my guide and my great passion since childhood; caring for them is not a job for me, but my life's purpose. In my home, your pet will not only be safe, but will receive pure love, endless patience, and the deep respect they truly deserve. I dedicate my available hours entirely to my soul's purpose: protecting pets. My flexible schedule allows me to offer focused, deeply loving, and high-quality care. In my home: Overnight stays in a safe environment. At yours: Drop-in visits for feeding and walks. My promise: Photo updates and total peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always been very hands-on with the pet care at home. I am a trusted pet babysitter amongst my family. I value the pet’s mental health and happiness especially while their owner is away. I am a part-time college student, and I work at a catering company with a highly flexible schedule, so I can work around your needs. I try to encourage a stress free environment by sticking to your pet’s normal routine while you’re away, making sure that they’re happy and healthy, as they would be under your own care.
“My first experience with rover.com and I couldn't be more pleased. Denise immediately bonded to my very senior dog and he simply loved her. She was punctual. Kind. Provided complete communication and an abundance of photos. Because my dog is a senior and on meds, several issues arose which Denise immediately handled. She purchased some items for which I reimbursed her. She assembled a cage I ordered online. Again, she gave more than 110% and I found her completely trustworthy. Kudos to you, Denise!”
“Shana took very good care of all three of our dogs while we were visiting family out of state. It was very comforting knowing our dogs were in good hands while we were enjoying our vacation. We will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“We love Janicia! It gives us such peace of mind knowing our cats are in such good and caring hands while we’re away. She truly makes them feel safe, loved, and well cared for—we’re so grateful for her!”
“We started off with a meet & greet and ended up chatting for quite a bit. I felt comfortable leaving my furbabies in Katherine’s hands. She dropped-in a few times and made sure the babies were happy and safe while I was away”
“Nanci was great taking care of our cat Lexi while we were away. Very reliable and always gave us status updates. Highly recommend her for your pet care needs. Will book her again.”
“Samantha faithfully checked in with us each time she walked our Blue and sent a photo. We so appreciated her dedication and were able to relax in confidence that our cherished dog was in good hands!”
About: I've volunteered at a variety of animal shelters in Hillsborough/Pasco county walking dogs of all different sizes, shapes, and conditions. I really enjoying being outside with the animals and getting to experience all the different types of personalities dogs have. I'm only free on the weekends since I work the weekdays. That allows me to spend all the required time with no distractions to take care of your pet(s). Currently I cannot take any pets into my home. However, I was raised well and understand common scene so I will always respect the homes of my clients
“Krystal is awesome. She takes great notes on how/when/where and follows instructions no matter how silly or tedious it might seem. She takes awesome pictures and videos so you can see how well she is taking care of them. She’s a gem and our pets love her.”
“Outstanding sitter! Karma is awesome to work with - she’s prompt, communicative, super friendly, and took great care of my exotic pets! She followed instructions very nicely and always kept me updated which put me at ease while I was traveling. I’ll be trusting Karma with my pets all summer long!”
About: Walks, Wiggles & Belly Rubs Guaranteed ! Every dog has a unique temperament — playful, shy, energetic, or relaxed — and I adjust my approach to match. I’m patient, observant, and committed to building trust so your dog feels safe and understood.” I work from home, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling and consistent supervision. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. With my own cats and bearded dragon, I follow structured routines, and I bring that same level of consistency and attentiveness to every client. I make sure pets fit comfortably into my schedule — not the other way around I focus on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment whether pets are in my home or theirs. I work remotely, which allows me to provide steady supervision and flexible care throughout the day. I follow routines closely, monitor behavior carefully, and provide consistent communication so both pets and owners feel secure.

We've asked Denise to drop in on our fur-baby several times now when we go away, she's very reliable and thorough and we couldn't ask for a better care taker to give us peace of mind while we're away. We highly recommend her and will continue to request her should we need cat care in the future. Thank you Denise!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shady Hills on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,895 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shady Hills. 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.

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.
