“We had such a great experience with Isabel watching our cats while we were away! She completed 19 visits for us and was incredibly reliable and thorough every single day. She took care of their wet food, cleaned up their dishes, handled the litter, and gave Chloe her medication and nose drops. She also made sure to spend time with them, play with them, and give them attention, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. One of my favorite things was how detailed her daily updates were. She always left a really thorough recount of what she did during each visit and how the cats were doing, so we never had to wonder what was going on at home. She also takes such great pictures! We looked forward to seeing the photos she sent every day. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our cats and took the responsibility seriously. Being away from them for that long can be stressful, but knowing they were being so well cared for made our trip much easier. We would absolutely book with Isabel again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and love caring for other animals. I’ve grown up having dogs and cats, and grew up horseback riding. My family members all have pets that I’ve taken care of. I will give your pets all the love and attention they need and then some. Being around animals fills my heart with joy and I love being able to care for someone’s family members while they are away. I will be sure they feel the love while you are gone, give them love and play with them. I’m a working mom Monday thru Friday but can do visits in the mornings and evenings and be around even more attention on the weekends. I will follow your instructions on caring for your pet in your home and treat it with the love and respect as if it were my own.
“I cannot recommend Lillian enough! From the very first interaction, she was incredibly attentive to my pet's specific needs and routine, making sure every detail was covered. She was always punctual, arriving exactly when promised, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. What I appreciated most was how communicative she was; I received regular updates and photos, so I never had to wonder how things were going. If you are looking for a reliable and caring sitter, Lillian is the best choice!”
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.
“Jo did a great job with my very demanding wobbly cat. She frequently has accidents peeing over the side of the litter box while attempting to hold herself steady. She will not use the litter box at all unless it has just been scooped. I have trouble myself getting rid of the smells from these accidents, but I came home to a very clean litter box and no accident stains or smells. She was also immediately friendly and not skiddish like she has been when left in the past.”
“Magee-Lee was so sweet and accommodating with our cats! I loved getting check in photos of them a each day and really appreciated the care she gave them. She even helped us with some packages we received!”
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.
“Mckenzie is the perfect person to watch your loved one! Everything she did was perfect. She even made my my old dog come out and be all peppy and happy and loving. Not that he hasn’t already but she really made him come out of his shell. I highly recommend her. We loved her.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I've cared for dogs requiring administration meds, diabetes, skin and eye conditions. I am gentle, caring and firm when necessary. I love taking walks with them and engaging with them for playtime. A happy dog is a healthy dog. I am currently working remotely and have time during the day to monitor and care for your pet in their own home environment and surroundings. I would prefer caring for your pet in your home, a place that is familiar to them that would avoid the anxiety of being in an unfamiliar place. I would discuss their routine with the client to ensure the same continuity of care they would be given if the client was at home.
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!

I'm easily teachable, so any peculiarities shouldn't be worrisome. Find me with the fur babies at any get together!

You can count on me for play time and snuggles, what ever routine they have I can stick to it. I have full confidence in the balance between strictness and playfulness.
About: As a vegetarian, I am a certified animal lover. My love and compassion for animals stem from my early childhood. I grew up in the country where I was surrounded by dogs, birds, and even pigs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,024 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 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.
