“Osvaldo did a great job with my cats. They warmed up to him throughout the week and everything was taken care of while I was gone to my expectations. I will be booking him again. Thank you!”
“Samantha was so kind with our cats and understanding and made sure to take extra care and caution with them! They loved her, although they missed their humans, and we felt so much relief that they were in good hands while we were gone.”
“Karin is amazing! This is the first time we have left our cats for an extended period of time and we were extremely nervous about it. Karin made the process painless for us. She reported in every visit and sent us updates and photos that put our minds at ease. We knew that our “babies” were being well cared for and attended to while we were away, which gave us a great peace of mind. We highly recommend Karin’s services.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Nanci provided for my cats while I was away! From the start, Nanci was professional, reliable, and truly caring. She kept me updated with daily messages and pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were happy and well cared for. Not only did she ensure my cats were fed and their litter boxes were clean, but she also took the time to play with them, which I really appreciated. When I returned, my cats were relaxed and content—clear signs they had been in good hands. I highly recommend Nanci to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. I will definitely be booking with Nanci again in the future!”
“Kim made sure our baby boy Sirius was well taken care of and given tons of pets! Sirius is a black cat who needed daily drop ins, he loved Kim and looked forward to his daily churu! Thank you, Kim!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Grace! She took such wonderful care of our girl Mika, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Her communication was excellent and timely, sharing photo and even video updates while we were away. We also really appreciated the extra help she provided bringing in the mail and trash for us. It is obvious that Grace LOVES cats and they love her back! :) We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter.”
“She’s an EXCELLENT pet sitter and I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone to take care of their fur babies while they’re away. ESPECIALLY if this is your first time using this service and are having a hard time deciding who to choose for the job.”
“Sherry is excellent! One of my cats is slow to trust and will hide. After a few days, she started to come out of hiding. That is a huge sign of trust from that cat and speaks volumes about Sherry. She takes great care of my babies.”
About: I have been a responsible for taking care of pets since the first grade, thanks to my parents instilling responsibility from a young age with pet ownership. Since then, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take of their fur-babies when they cannot be included on family adventures. I am currently available 7 days a week to play, walk, stay over night, or feed your pet while you are living your best life. When taking care of a pet in a client's home, I make sure to follow all instructions of care while still providing all the love and care to your pet.
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.
“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: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have had pets of my own throughout adulthood. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs and cats for friends and family when they needed someone they could trust. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, potty breaks, litter box care, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind when someone else is caring for your pets, so I’ll follow your instructions and their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I currently work PRN as a nurse, which allows me to make my own schedule and gives me the flexibility to coordinate my availability around the needs of the pets in my care. I can plan ahead for walks, drop-ins, feeding times, and house sitting, and I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are very important to me. I will care for your pets in your home with the same attention and care I give my own. I’ll closely follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are doing well.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! Growing up on my family’s farm, I had the opportunity to care for all kinds of animals and learn how to meet their individual needs. I’ve raised and cared for newborn puppies and dogs, kittens and cats, horses, ducks, chickens, reptiles, fish, and so much more. Today, I’m a proud pet mom to Duke, my senior dog, and my two cats, Charlotte and Finley. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets. Whether your pet needs a little extra attention, a walk, a drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and make sure you receive plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work full time Monday - Friday 7-3:30pm. Fridays and Weekends I am available as needed and can be contacted at any time for service. I love walking dogs and will ensure your baby gets the exercise and love they need with safety being my main priority. I have a life long habit of double checking locks, leashes, and food/water bowls. As a pet owner myself - my eldest dog duke has been through not one, but TWO knee surgeries so i am comfortable with giving medication, and bandaging as needed.
About: For the past 20 years, I've had the joy of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs, each with their own unique personality and needs. Through every stage of their lives—from playful puppies to their senior years—I learned the importance of patience, consistency, love, and attentive care. My experience has taught me how to recognize a fur-baby's individual needs, provide a safe and comfortable environment, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and secure while their families are away. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I treat every fur-baby as if they were my own. I work full-time from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with Tuesdays and Saturdays off. Before work, I make time to care for my own dog by taking her outside, going for a walk, and spending quality time together. After work, we enjoy another walk, playtime, and plenty of attention. On my days off, I have a more flexible schedule and enjoy taking longer walks with my dog, playing with her, and keeping up with everyday household chores. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they receive the love, exercise, and care they need. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I'm committed to treating every pet like part of my own family. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat them with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own dog. I know that staying in their familiar environment helps pets feel safe and comfortable, so I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I also respect your home, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so your pets feel loved while you're away and you can have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
About: I have worked in a shelter and as a groomer I have learned how to handle dogs and cats i love working with animals and take pride in what I do I am currently looking for work and have plenty of time for your pet till I can find a part time job that I can still continue to provide you and your pet service as well I will provide videos of your fur baby and let you know how they are doing what we are up to and so on I know I would like to be updated on how my fur baby is doing
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.
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

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,946 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.
