Clarissa is THE BEST. She is the only person we will use to watch our two doggos when we are out of town or away for a date night. weve taken short weekend trips, an evening away and now have an upcoming full week out of town - and we can only do it because she does so well with them. Highly recommend!

Jessica was wonderful! She kept me updated like I asked and sent photos every time - she ended up taking my new favorite photo of one of my dogs, too 🥹 Jessica was kind, thorough, and communicative. She was exactly what we needed, perfectly trustworthy, and reliable. We don’t know much of anyone in our town yet as we just moved, so we were very nervous with leaving our anxious dogs already. But Jessica’s care for our fur babies allowed us to enjoy our time away with little to no worries, leaving us confident that they were in good hands. We are so grateful, and will definitely look for her availability next time we need some help with our girls!

Kristin always takes such good care of my little dude. She’s always on time and when I get back he’s doing great and everything is exactly like I left it. This time my cat threw up a bit and Kristin cleaned it up. She even washes his plates from the previous day. Absolutely wonderful with pets, and I’m always at ease when I know she’s checking in. Thank you!!

About: Two family dogs when growing up. I have pet sat cats, birds, rabbits, and guinea pigs. If you have chickens or small to medium farm animals, I’d love the opportunity to care for them as well. I love and care for your pets like they are my own. We can play, walk, and chill. I am attentive to needs and will make sure they are fed, walked, clean and use the potty as needed. My daughter and I live in a house with a spacious back yard with an enclosed patio. As for clients homes, whatever is requested of me by the client, I will give 100% to make sure you, your fur baby and your home are taken care of. I work full time. I am available on weekdays after 6pm and all weekends and holidays as I do not travel much. I am very much a home body. My daughter and love to walk and bike. I will love your pet and follow any guidance you give me. My home is clean and pet friendly. I also have a spare bedroom if needed. I have a spacious, fenced in backyard and a covered patio—really good for pets to stretch out, play and nap. My neighborhood is friendly and walkable. I am always very respectful of my client’s homes and will follow any requests. I want your pets to feel at home or comfortable in your home while you’re enjoying your time away. Be stress free.

About: I grew up on a farm of generations surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have hands-on experience breeding and years of experience showing dogs, which taught me how to understand canine behavior, recognize their individual needs, and provide attentive, responsible care. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully while providing plenty of exercise, affection, and playtime. I treat every dog like family and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your furry friend is safe, happy, and loved. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and make their happiness and safety my top priority. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and always keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pup is in great hands Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine always come first. I have a secure fenced yard, a clean and pet-friendly home, and three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love making new friends if your pup enjoys company. I can also keep dogs separated or crate them if preferred. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special requests to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to be excited to come back every visit!

Vanessa was terrific and really put us at ease to leave our pets in her care. She was reliable and responsible with our kitties. They warmed up to her in a few days as she was a natural with them. We really are 100% pleased and feeling great about finding Vanessa.

Taelor was amazing. She always made sure our cat was taken of while dropping in and did things without questions (I.e cleaning his litter box, giving him fresh water). Her updates were much appreciated and we’ll definitely be using her in the future

About: I have been around animals my whole life and currently have one dog, three cats (one senior with chronic illnesses/daily meds), four hermit crabs, one ball python, and 10 quail. In the past, I have cared for fish, snails, horses, rabbits, ferrets, a tarantula, and a variety of birds. I am open to watching animals of all kinds! I am able to provide drop in care any time on the weekends and morning/lunchtime/evening during the work week. I am also able to provide dog boarding in my home. I work Monday-Friday but my office is in the same neighborhood as my house - and is pet friendly! For drop in care, my goal is to provide care that keeps to the pets' regular schedule as much as possible in order to ensure they feel safe and cared for. I am able to medicate cats and dogs. For in home care, I am able to accommodate up to 2 dogs from the same household. I have a large, pet friendly house and fenced back yard. All boarding dogs must be cat friendly and good with other dogs.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Shalimar

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shalimar on Rover is $21.09 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 458 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shalimar. 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 Shalimar. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
