About: My family and I currently have two pups( 13 years old + an 8 month old) who we walk daily and love on constantly. The eldest(Samson) has been spoiled and receives every meal accompanied by some sort of treat to get the process going but he is extremely friendly and well behaved. Our newest (Pepper) eats everything and wants to play always, which means we give her lots of walks and play time outside. Samson is getting older and over the years we have had to have him on medication or been very watchful if he was acting out of character or lethargic. This has trained my eyes to just be ever present when caring for pets and to always treat them as family worthy of our attention and love. I've been tasked with sporadically pet sitting my girlfriends cats and have had no issues ever. Added experience pet sitting for my friend and his many German Shepherds. Finally I work as a Personal Trainer and part time unofficial care giver to my 94 year old Grandfather, my patience is unmatched. I currently work as an independent Personal Trainer + Unofficial care giver. My schedule tends to be flexible but staying in steady communication with clients is always front of mind so as to avoid conflicting scheduling. My pets are held in a higher regard than a fair amount of people I meet. They simply mean so much to my family and I. We stress over their eating habits, exercise levels, sleep schedules etc etc. Every pet I care for receives that same family-like attention and compassion, guaranteed.
“Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of Zeke, my Senior Jack Russell Terrior. He can be aggressive with new people but Kaitlyn connected with him. She made sure he had food and was let outside to potty. When he was alone, he made a couple of potty mistakes that she cleaned up on her visits. I highly recommend Kaitlyn and will user her again for future visits!”
“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: 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.
“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: Hello! My name is Faith. I am 24 years old. Animals are my favorite part of life, and I have a lot of experience with them. I have been pet-sitting for about 10 years now, and I love it. There was a time when I had 7 animals in my house, including a senior cat and dog, so I have experience with senior animals. My favorite part about going home to visit my parents is spending time with our animals. They are my everything. I will love your animals like they are my own, and I promise to give them the best care possible. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I am a UNT student, but my schedule is very open! I only have one class twice a week. I have more than enough time to take care of your animals. I can provide care in the mornings, the afternoons, the evenings, and weekends. In a client’s home, I can stay overnight, or for a few hours. I can do drop-in visits multiple times a day. I will play with them, brush them, walk them, cuddle with them, whatever they need. I will make them feel as happy and comfortable as possible.
About: I have cared for young, old, sick, dogs and cats and birds. I have experience with stubborn dogs, playful dogs, and timid dogs and I love a good walk if needed! I work part time and my college courses are currently all online so i have time to play, walk, or just sit with your pets. I cannot care for your pets in my own home due to my pets and family but in your home i have no problem with administering medicine, stubborn animals and super excited animals!
“Amanda did a wonderful job caring for our geriatric herd. She persevered in gaining our old dog Bella’s trust. She gave the cats and dog their daily medications along with lots of affection. We had peace of mind for a necessary family visit and that is priceless!”
“Jessica watched my senior cat while I was on vacation and was fantastic! She sent pictures and was punctual with her visit times! I highly recommend Jessica and will use her for future visits :)”

“isabel was so kind and patient with my dogs, especially my reactive chihuahua. she’s also very trustworthy and flexible to work with. i will continue to book her as long as she’s available! thank you.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Growing up with five dogs has given me hands-on experience with breeds including Yorkshire Terriers, Maltese, French Bulldogs, Boxers, and Dobermans. I’ve cared for energetic puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. I love spending time with animals and am committed to providing safe, attentive, and loving care through walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. Since I’m away from my own dogs while attending college, I’m excited to give that same love and attention to your pets! I am a full-time student with an internship, but I have a flexible schedule for pet care in the early mornings and evenings. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins before classes and after 5 p.m. I make caring for pets a priority and will always ensure your furry family members receive the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.
“Heather was awesome! She did a wonderful job looking after my three kitties while I was away. She came over beforehand to meet them and sent me lots of photos so I could see they were doing well. I'm really glad I found her.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shady Shores stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Shady Shores choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Shady Shores with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
