“Great experience when I was out of the house for a couple of days. I enjoyed getting the photos and updates when she was with my boys. She was on time and communicated clearly, but most importantly...she seemed to really enjoy the dogs!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Kim was amazing with our cats over the holidays. Our shy boy even opened up to her and let her pet him. One of our cats is really messy with litter and she kept our litter box area tidy. The pictures she sends are also sooo adorable. She is wonderful! We will trust her with our cats in the future. (:”
“Have booked with Carole for multiple trips now, and she is great! She even suggested timing her drop-ins to better line up with the time zone we were in while away. Highly recommend!”
“Hilda was great! She was very responsive and thorough with communicating and pictures of the animals! We will use her again in the future! In fact, already have her booked!”

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.
“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!!”

Pet 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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Shady Shores on Rover is $17.12 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
