“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!!”
“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!!”

About: I have two dogs that I have had experience with in taking care of and I am also very attentive to dogs needs and wants. I have taken care of my families and family-friends pets before. I believe in communication with the owner is key to building a good relationship with their animals. I will have to work part-time as I am a student in college. For weekdays I can work in the afternoons and on weekends I can work anytime. I would take pets on walks and let them outside and play with them for a while. I give them food and water with specific instructions.
“Austin was so polite and reliable! He came to meet the cats out of his own will before hand to make sure he was a good fit and sent us lovely pictures throughout the babysitting. One of my shy cats even came out to meet him by the second visit— I was impressed!”
“Amaya is awesome! She has been such a blessing for us and our 10 week old puppy. She is always on time and pays attention to detail. Also, she doesn’t have to but always sends the best pictures and videos of our sweet puppy. She’s consistent and loves what she does, which is more important to us than anything else, because we know Loki is cared for”

“Hailey was very patient and understanding with my dogs. They are a tough bunch so when I had to go out of town and leave them for a few days, I was worried about not being able to find the right fit. Hailey really took a weight off my shoulders.”
About: I’m a pet mama to an active Border Collie, and a super chill cat, so I know exactly how to cater to different personalities. Regardless of whether your pet needs a good workout session, or quiet cuddles, I’ve got you covered! Growing up around animals naturally led to years of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I'm completely comfortable with specialized care, from strict routines to administering medications if your pet isn't feeling their best. Leaving your fur babies with someone new can be stressful, I know. It’s very important to me that they feel safe, loved, and at ease. I will be patient and compassionate to your pet as I would with mine. My schedule is flexible. I’m happy to hang out with your pet for walks, play time, drop-ins, or last minute requests. Reach out and connect with me, I’m always glad to help out. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel secure in their space. When I visit, I keep things calm and respectful, never rushing or overwhelming your pet. I follow instructions carefully, use positive reinforcement, and ensure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I always treat your home and pet's routine with the same respect I’d want for my own.
About: I was the friend who watched my friend’s dogs and cats growing up while they were away. I have experience with little dogs like Yorkies, all the way up to the Great Pyrenees! I am currently and student with multiple online classes, and should be able to provide your little guy or gal with any attention they need throughout the day! I ensure that every pets needs are taken care of, first being the basic needs like food, water and exercise, and then the fun stuff! Every pet has individual idiosyncrasies and needs and I’ll always strive to meet them!
“Abigail has been an absolute blessing to our family! She comes by twice a day to care for our two puppies, Dodi and Libi, making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of potty breaks, and (just as importantly) have time to play and burn off some puppy energy. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals. She’s patient, attentive, and goes above and beyond what’s expected. In fact, she’s even taught Dodi and Libi how to “shake a paw,” which was such a fun surprise! What has impressed me just as much is how kind she is to our cats. She has taken the time to get to know them, and it’s clear they trust and enjoy her company. Knowing that all of our pets are receiving not only excellent care but also affection and attention has made a world of difference. Because of Abigail, I can go into the office with complete peace of mind, knowing my animals are safe, happy, and well cared for. That kind of trust is invaluable. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, compassionate, communicative, and truly treats your pets like family, I recommend Abigail without hesitation. We are incredibly grateful for everything she does and look forward to continuing to work with her!”
About: I have been around all types of animals since the age of 4. I have been trusted by neighbors, friends and family to bathe, feed, administer medications, walk and play with their dogs and cats. I am responsible and understand that your pet is a member of your family, not just an accessory. I will love and respect your pet as well as your home. I am an artist and enjoy keeping my schedule flexible. I am awake by 6am most days and in bed by 10. I can fit the right family in on either a consistent or one-time basis. Currently, I am not able to keep pets in my home but I am happy to visit your home or house sit if you prefer.
About: I have hands on experience working with dogs in a professional kennel and daycare environment. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I am attentive and understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I also have experience with senior dogs and know how important extra patience, comfort, and attention can be. Most importantly, I treat every dog in my care like they are my own and want them to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work mornings during the week and get off at 1 PM most days, giving me afternoons and evenings available around my classes. I’m especially available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, which gives me plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m also flexible with drop-ins and can work with each pet’s routine and needs. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I follow each owner’s instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I provide a clean, calm, and secure environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision. I also keep owners updated so they know their pets are in good hands.

As always, Emma did a great job with Winifred and Vee. Great communication, punctual arrival, awesome check in, and picked up after them as well. It means a lot, especially with Vee, as she is a special rescue who is still learning and looked so happy. Thanks so much and highly recommended, even on short notice.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shady Shores is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $21 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 7,855 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shady Shores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 96% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
