“Ashley took care of our two cats while we were out of town for a long weekend and did an excellent job! She showed up on time during the scheduled drop ins and provided lots of pics and videos. Would love to book with her again”
“Very accommodating and took amazing care of my cat. For a cat with separation anxiety and will pee on things when left alone too long as well as scream at you when you come back home, she was pretty calm and very happy upon my arrival. Thank you so much Isabel!”
About: I’ve had all types of pets since I was a baby. I’ve had guinea pigs, birds, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I am an animal lover through and through. I have a pretty open schedule so I will always be able to make the time. If not then I will make sure to have that conversation with whoever I’m caring for. Whatever you ask I will do. I know all families situations are different. If they need to be crated I will. If they need to be let out I will. Just tell me what you need.
About: I’ve had six dogs of my own, I have one horse, one goat. I am a Dog groomer as well. Right now I have two dogs one is four and one is almost 4. I work for a dog daycare. I am also a Dog Groomer so I know how to work around the schedule. Most days if I know in advance, I can take a lunch break. I offer a fenced in yard and any instructions that your dog or cat needs. I will follow them whether it is at my house or yours.
“Amaya took amazing care of our husky while we were out of town. Her communication and level of attention for our pup was outstanding! Treated him as if he was her own. Highly recommend using Amaya for your pet sitting needs!!!”
“Hailey was very patient and understanding with my dogs. They are a tough bunch so when I had to go out of town and leave them for a few days, I was worried about not being able to find the right fit. Hailey really took a weight off my shoulders.”
“Lexis was great when watching my dogs! She had great communication throughout the visit and made sure to send updates which was very appreciated. My babies also seemed to love spending time with her as well. I will definitely be using her again for future needs!”
About: I love all pets! I am currently working towards becoming a veterinarian. I work at a doggy daycare. I also have 2 years of experience volunteering with animals. I have two dogs, a Husky and a Doberman who I love dearly. My cat is the leader of the house as she should be. I can handle all pets big or small barks or meows! I am constantly taking care of furry friends. let it be my own or the loving pets at the doggy day care. I am also a pooper scooper machine I don't mind cleaning up as long as the pets are happy. I can easily follow pet parent instructions. I know if my fur baby was in someone else's care I would like to be able to trust they would be taken care of the same way they are when I'm home. That is what I strive for at work as well, making all pets feel like its home and making it the most exciting day ever!
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs (and 9 other species) in my home, and I truly love all the fur babies in the whole wide world! Your pets are family, and I treat them that way. I’m attentive, organized, and detail-oriented (from my teaching background). I will provide expert, dependable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving meds, and helping pets who have special needs. I’m also big on communication (and sending pictures) so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My home is fun, loving, and full of attention. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! My wife is a teacher so she is always home during the evenings and weekends. I work from home and enjoy having the extra company around the house. I have a fenced back yard and a big playful bernadoodle that loves to have friends over. (My dog can be relocated if your animals do not get along with others.) We live around a lake with plenty of great walking trails and big fenced in properties, lots of places to get good fresh air around us. Typically I take my dog somewhere to play of walk in the mornings, relax and get some work done until the afternoon, then try to get another walk in. We have lots of toys to play with and do lick mats and scent training games if weather is yucky.
About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for dogs belonging to my family, friends, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and even multiple dogs at the same time. Every pet is different, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable and happy. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I always take a calm, patient, and gentle approach to help them feel safe and loved. My goal is to make sure they’re comfortable, well cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away. I also believe pets need a healthy balance of playtime, exercise, and rest. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing with toys, or just relaxing and getting cuddles, I’ll make sure they have a fun, safe, and comfortable experience. I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. As a recent college graduate who still works on campus, caring for my cat is already part of my daily routine. Every day I make sure she has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I also spend time making sure she’s happy, comfortable, and getting the care she needs. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, it’s easy for me to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to other pets as if they were my own. It would be good to know if there is anything that scares your pets, certain sounds, movements, etc. It would also be nice to know of any commands/training tactics that I should be using while caring for your pet.
About: I’ve never not had pets in my life! I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets, young and old, traditional pets and more exotic ones. I don’t mind caring for any type of pet— if it’s your baby, it’ll be mine too for a bit! Currently I have completely open availability! Some weekends I do theatre productions but those weekends are few and far between. I’m also a night owl and am open to care for your pets at all odd hours of the day or night. Routine is key for your pets. As a sitter, it is my responsibility to ensure your babies still follow their routine as if you were still at home. I have experience with more complex routines or routines that involve medication as well!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Ever since we rescued my first dog I’ve loved all dogs passionately. I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and colleagues to care for their dogs. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk, or overnight care, I bring patience, love and responsibility to every visit. I am currently a full time student working on a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology. However, I have plenty of time to play with your pets on the weekends and all day Friday! I enjoy outdoor activities and would love to explore with your pets every chance I get! I provide care in your home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities—I’ll make sure they’re happy, healthy, and never left unattended.
About: I’m a professional grooming salon manager with a lifelong passion for both dogs and cats. While my primary expertise is in canine grooming, I also have extensive experience caring for felines and understand their unique personalities and needs. I believe every pet deserves gentle, knowledgeable care, and I bring that philosophy to every client I work with. At home, I care for four amazing dogs: two Chihuahuas, a German Shepherd, and a Miniature Schnauzer. I also have an 8-year-old cat named Cassie, who has been with me since she was a kitten. Each of them has their own distinct temperament, and they’ve taught me how to approach every pet with patience, compassion, and respect. My hands-on experience with a variety of breeds and personalities allows me to provide calm, personalized care tailored to both dogs and cats. I currently work full-time as the manager of a grooming salon, where I’m dedicated to providing high-quality care and service to both pets and their owners. I’m now looking to take on additional work during my free time to earn extra income doing what I love most — caring for animals. With a deep passion for my own pets and a genuine love for animals of all kinds, I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m deeply committed to the well-being of animals and will always go above and beyond to ensure they receive the care and compassion they deserve. With extensive knowledge of pet care and grooming needs, I bring both experience and dedication to every animal I work with. Whether it’s providing grooming services or general care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: My background in animal shelters and years of pet sitting for family and friends gave me experience with senior dogs, anxious pets, and health-related needs. I have a wide - open schedule and love using that time to care for pets. Available weekdays, weekends, and anytime in between - overnight stays are no problem at all! Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I love taking long walks, which provides great exercise, and bonding time, while also sticking to their regular feeding and routine schedules.
About: I have my CPR licenses, if your babies are on any kind of medications I'll make sure they take them on time every day that there with me!!

About: Ive been caring for dogs for 6+ years and genuinely love building trust with every pet I meet! I’m very patient and attentive, and I adapt to each dog’s personality. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra comfort. I’ve helped with everything fro daily walks to feeding, bathing, and just being a calm, safe presence. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel secure, loved, and understood. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize visits, walks, and check ins throughout the day. I plan my time carefully so each pet gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I’m comfortable caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and keep everything clean while sticking closely to the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet friendly environment where they’ll get lots of attention, playtime, and supervision.
“We will definitely be requesting Maria to care for our fur babies and home again! This was our first experience using Rover. After a very last minute cancellation by another sitter (not Rover), we were scrambling to find a professional and reliable sitter over the holidays. Maria to the rescue! She was very thorough, asked questions to make sure she knew exactly what our kitties needed, and sent lots of photos & updates everyday. One of our cats requires daily medication, and Maria was contentious in making sure it was done every day. We definitely recommend Maria’s services.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,742 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shady Shores. 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
