“I really can’t thank Osvaldo enough for being available and so kind when it came to checking in on my cats. I frequently have to travel and it’s hard to get people to stop by. It really gave me peace of mind that Osvaldo was so responsive and helpful. I will be booking him every chance I get and recommend you do too!”

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, I’m Bryanna! Caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember 🐶 I’ve had three German Shepherds over the years, so I’m very comfortable with larger breeds, high-energy dogs, and everything that comes with them, including barking, whining, and big personalities. Because of that experience, I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’ve cared for: 🐾 Puppies (including training patience and high energy) 🐾 Senior dogs (gentle care, slower pace, extra attention) 🐾 Rescue dogs (understanding unique behaviors and needs) 🐾 Cats (including drop-in visits and care) For the past 4 years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, helping with everything from daily walks to extended stays. I also currently volunteer with HCSO Animal Services, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with dogs of different backgrounds and personalities. This has really strengthened my ability to read behavior, build trust, and provide calm, attentive care. Weekdays: 🐾 Morning visits before work (7:00–9:00 AM) 🐾 Evenings fully available after 5:00 PM Weekends: 🐾 Fully available and flexible I do my best to accommodate different schedules, so feel free to reach out with your needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely so your pet can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. I stick to their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care needs. I’m very attentive to behavior and surroundings, and I always make sure: 🐾 Doors, gates, and leashes are secure 🐾 Your pet is safe and comfortable at all times 🐾 Any changes in behavior are noticed and communicated With my experience owning three German Shepherds, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, including strong or high-energy breeds. I’m also experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and rescues, so I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities. For everyone’s comfort and safety, I do require a meet-and-greet with you and your pet before any booking. This helps ensure a good fit and allows me to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I treat every home with respect and every pet like my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and open communication so you always feel at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve always had dogs and cats of all sizes, and every animal is family to me. I work from home, so your babies will always be well cared for. My teenage daughter loves them just as much as I do. I work from home so your fur babies will be cared for around the clock. All of their needs will be taken care of in a timely manner and lots of time for cuddles! I do not have any animals currently as our “old man” recently passed over the rainbow bridge. I have a large fenced backyard for your dog to run around and play in. I love to go for walks and play with them in the backyard.

About: I’ve always believed that no two animals are exactly alike, and that’s one of my favorite things about caring for them! Whether it’s a curious puppy learning the ropes, a high energy dog that wants to run around and play, or a senior pet who needs a gentler approach and patience with a lot of care and attention, or a shy kitty who takes a little time to warm up, I really do enjoy discovering what makes each animal unique. My experience caring for my own pets and those of family and friends has really helped me to be observant, adaptable, and patient with different personalities and needs. I’m happy to make room for all kinds of pet personalities, from the playful little troublemakers to the quiet companions who simply enjoy having someone nearby. I also appreciate the importance of consistency with basic puppy training, feeding instructions, and special care routines. I bring a thoughtful, attentive approach to every pet I meet, and I love finding little ways to make their day more enjoyable, whether that means playtime, gentle companionship, or letting them explore at their own pace. Ultimately, I want to be the sitter whose name makes you feel relieved to see on your schedule because you know your pet will be in caring, capable hands. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pet, earn their trust, and become someone you’re happy to call on again and again! 💗 and small fun facts, i've helped taken care of exotic pets like snakes, and turtles, and you're more likely pets like ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies! i also know pet CPR in cases of emergencies for cats and dogs! I'm currently a nursing student but I am available from friday-saturday all day and sunday after 1pm! I am able to take care of your furry friends practically from early mornings to late nights if needed! While caring for pets in their own abode, i strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their usual routines! (especially since i'll be a new face for them). I completely understand that each and every pet has their own unique preferences, needs, and personalities and I am able to quickly adapt to them to provide efficient and effective personalized care! Following the owners provided instructions carefully no matter what it may entail so that your fur baby gets all the proper care and attention they deserve, but the key to all of this is upmost respect to the family and home and patience to take care of them. My goal is that every pet parent to have peace of mind knowing that their furry companion is in caring and responsible hands, and i'll gladly send / upload photos and videos so you can see how your baby is doing throughout the day!

“Hannah was a wonderful cat sitter! She helped us out last minute when our other sitter was ill. But I’m glad because we will now be hiring her for our cat care needs in the future! Cats weren’t stressed when we came back which is always my indicator of a good match! I hate leaving my cats, but she sent photos daily which really helped. She is also so kind and left our place super clean. Hard to do with two cats!”

“Syndney was FANTASTIC! She is the sweetest dog sitter and truly loves to do this! She was so responsive and attentive; it gave us so much comfort during a day-trip away. She watched 3 dogs at once at our house and she did it seamlessly. Each one of the dogs has a unique personality and Sydney made sure they were so well cared for. The most wonderful touch to her booking was a very thoughtful note, polaroid picture for memories, and doggy treats!! She is just so wonderful, we couldn't have asked for better!”

About: I have decided to not work the 9to5 jobs anymore and to do what I'm passionate about, furbabies. I am not new to taking care of doggies and cats, just new to advertising. I've grown up with dogs. I have been fostering and rescuing for 10 years. I have experience with the bouncy happy dogs, the shy and skittish, the ones whom you have to earn their trust.Furbabies are my passion. Each fur baby has their own unique personality and quirks. I have very flexible schedule and can accommodate easily. I don't have a full time job and spend most my days playing with my dogs and cat. I will follow the owners instructions on how they want their fur baby cared for. When I'm watching the fur babies it's all about them

About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve regularly watched my friends’ dogs and recently pet sat for my mom’s client for 4 days, where I made sure their pet was safe, comfortable, fed, and well cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to animals’ needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work at Amazon and I do night shifts 1am-11:50am Friday-Monday and my Off days would be Tuesday -Thursday would also be available Friday-Monday after 1pm I treat every pet like they’re my own! I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and attention, and stick to their normal routine. I love giving pets lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their fur baby is happy and well taken care of.

About: For the last 10 years I have provided dependable, loving care for dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pup needs a daily walk, companionship while you're away, or overnight care, I treat every dog like part of my own family. I comfortably care for up to three dogs at a time, allowing me to give each one plenty of individual attention. A typical day includes morning potty breaks, feeding according to your schedule, fresh water, neighborhood walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and regular bathroom breaks throughout the day. I also provide photo and video updates so you can feel connected and know your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible, helping them feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved while you're away. I currently work from home and have plenty of time to nurture your fur babies. I can take the pups on a walk every 2-3 hours. I follow each dog's feeding, medication, and exercise routine exactly as instructed. Lastly, I’m willing to meet beforehand so your dog can get acquainted. I have a large screened in patio that allows your fur baby to get some fresh air safely. I have a dog park right down the road within my HOA. It’s a dog friendly community with minimal traffic.

Osvaldo did a great job with three drop ins on one day! Our dogs are not very trusting and yet from the very first meet and greet it was evident they had no problem with him! We received pictures and communication from him regularly and even when we were delayed due to a flat tire in the driving rain he was able to put to rest any worries we had about the dogs! We will definitely be hiring him again in the future!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Shady Hills

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.

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.

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.

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.
