“Casandra was so patient with my fur baby. She played with him and treated him just as I would’ve while I was away. I’m so grateful for her, it was such a pleasant experience. Thank you so much for all that you do. ❤️”
“I have a Rat Terrier that was a puppy mill momma rescue, and so I will never leave her in a kennel. She is extremely mistrusting of anyone outside of our home, but Leigh is like a dog whisperer. She came twice prior to the first lone visit to ensure my girl could be ready for such a new experience, and was able to bond enough to not only do what was needed, but to also get kisses and tummy rub time. In the end, not only was my puppy cared for, I believe this was a powerfully therapeutic process for her as well. Leigh will be our sitter as long as she is willing!! Highly recommended!!”
“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!”
“Derrick was amazing. Our dog loved him and our cat liked him enough to come out of hiding which is rare haha. On time and sent plenty of check in pictures. Will definitely try booking with him for all future needs!!”
“I was on travel when I had a dog sitter bail at the last minute and left my dog stranded. Ashley was kind enough to jump in and help out. Truly can’t thank her enough. Took great care of my dog. Will have her dog sit in the future. Thank you again!!”
“we absolutely love Kim. she takes really great care of our boys when we’re away. she is patient and understanding when it comes to giving medicine and particular needs. our cats love her and would recommend her services to anyone!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much for watching our Momo!! Carole was awesome, she came in to watch our cat over the course of a week and shes been great! Super sweet with our cat and a great pet sitter. We’ll be hiring her again for the next trip!”
“Hilda was a great person to have watching our dog while we were away. She provided lots of pictures and good details on the visits, which I appreciated. Our pup was well taken care of. Thank you so much!”
“Madi is so sweet. My boxer loved her. I loved that she wanted to come over and meet her first before committing. She kept me updated on when she arrived at the house and sent pictures. I truly hope to be able to have her pet sit for my boxer again!”
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.
“Was willing to meet Cléo before booking which I really appreciate! Frequent and consistent updates at the requested times with plenty of photos for my mind and heart's ease. Thank you Jackson! 🥰🐱🐾🧶”
“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!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shady Shores
Emma has done drop-in visits for us twice now and we are pleased with her level of responsibility and love of animals. We have a complicated ranch situation that she has cheerfully adapted to even though our critters are not always cooperative. The two house dogs seem comfortable with her which is most important, especially because one is very shy. We appreciate all of the photos and detailed communications each night. Emma seems to enjoy engaging with our eclectic crew and is always eager to be helpful as needs arise. Highly recommend!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 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 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
