“Hilda was great! We needed a late night sitter to let our dog out before bedtime and Hilda was able to come every night at 11pm for 9 nights. She was responsible, communicative, followed our guidance well and took great care of our pets. She even went above and beyond while emptying the litter boxes by taking our trash bin out to the curb and bringing it back at the end of the time. Would book again!”
“Ms LeighAnn is the best! When we get stuck away from home, she manages to find a way to fit in a last minute drop in and save the day. It's like it's not just because it's her job- she just loves our dogs so much that if they need her, she'll be there. Thanks for saving the day again!!”
“Kim is a wonderful pet sitter! She takes amazing care of our senior dogs. It’s stressful leaving them but we know they are in excellent hands with Kim. She is reliable and she sends detailed updates and pictures which is comforting and reassuring for us.”
“Kathrine was outstanding, so calming and kind. Hank was well cared for and comfortable while we were gone. She communicated well. So thankful I found Kathrine! I highly recommend her!”
“Came through clutch as a last minute fill in for my regular sitters. Was personable and attentive to the info I gave on my pup's routine and took good care of her. Will def call upon her again, just ideally with more notice next go round.”
“Shiru has watched my cat (who is very shy, and a little spicy) several times now and has been excellent every time! This past time, a leak appeared in my home and maintenance had to drop by unexpectedly while I was out of town. Shiru was so helpful in coming over to make sure my cat was safe and separated from the maintenance crew who were cutting open my walls. Thank you Shiru!!”
“Ashley was amazing watching Rocco for me over Thanksgiving while I was out of town. She sent several photos, took him on walks, and updated me on each check-in. Will definitely use Ashley again!”
“Elizabeth is wonderful! She has helped me out a couple of times now with very short notice, she is wonderful I. Her care, and the animals (dog annd two cats) all love her! Can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I grew up with dogs always around. Have been house sitting dogs/cats and walking dogs for friends and family my whole life. I have a 3 year old cat at home that is my little baby. I love animals! Worry-free pet care is the goal; whatever your babies may need while you're away, just let me know & we can make it happen. Will send you plenty of photos/updates for them and give them lots of hugs and kisses. I try to follow any routines/trained commands you may use. Prefer to meet you and them first, especially for any dogs over 20 lbs. I try to give discounts when you book for any of my wonderful repeat customers, folks with small dogs, extended cat care that is close to home, etc. Book at the listed rates and I'll adjust them for what you're expecting/what I feel is fair for your review and confirmation. I have a local, fairly flexible job where I can typically start/end and take breaks as needed as long as hours and duties are fulfilled. I can usually do morning and/or evening pet drop ins and walks and am almost always available to sit your pets over the weekend, occasionally during the week. When sitting, I usually like to leave on and off during the day to run errands and work. I can also sometimes do scheduled drop ins during the day for local pets. I understand every pet and every home/owner situation is going to be different, so I can be flexible and work with you on what your fur babies need.
About: I have been an animal lover for my whole life! In the past I have worked at an animal clinic as a kennel technician, caring for boarding dogs and cats. You can count on me to take care of your furry friend! I am currently working part-time so my schedule is pretty flexible. Available on a weekly basis. Most evenings I am free with most weekends and weekdays open! I have a fenced yard with a friendly dog and a chill cat. My dog is pretty active and loves other dogs so he would also love making new friends! We go on walks 1-2 times a day.
“Brooke was very communicative, professional, and kind as can be from start to finish! I would 100% recommend to anyone who wants high quality care for their pets, as she really went above and beyond!”

“Sophia was a great sitter, followed guidance and always sent the cutest pictures of our furbabies! She was reliable and gave our two cats and 70 pound dog lots of attention and treats while we were gone.”
“Jackson is one of the most excellent sitters in the area. He is super communicative, accommodating of last minute changes, timely, and most importantly, gentle and kind with our Cléo. We had a big chaotic event going on that pulled our attention and focus elsewhere, and we felt very confident and reassured leaving Cléo with him because of his ability to adapt and problem solve if needed while we would be managing other things. Thank you for your grace and patience Jackson!! Cléo and our family appreciate you greatly! 🥰”
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, patience, and genuine love for animals.

I’m attentive to feeding schedules, exercise, medication instructions, and any special needs.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shady Shores
Ashley was wonderful to work with! She was always punctual, flexible when our plans changed, and kept us updated with messages and photos while we were away. Knowing Ella was so well cared for gave us such peace of mind and made it so much easier to enjoy our trip. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Ashley again. Highly recommend!
Leigh was great with Waffles and Gomez! She sent the cutest pictures every day! This was my first time ever using a pet sitting service, so I had A LOT of anxiety, but Leigh definitely calmed my nerves after I met her. We will def reach out to her again when we need pet sitting!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,694 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shady Shores. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
