About: Apart from owning and being around dogs my entire life, I also have experience outside that. I recently was employed by a dog boarding kennel near by where I learned about all different dogs and their needs! I am a Licensed Esthetician which means I have great control over my schedule! My schedule is very flexible to take care and give your furry friends some extra love & attention! When first arriving I make sure the animal is comfortable first! I let them sniff me and feel out the vibe. I also make sure to read their vibe if they want space of extra cuddles!
About: Dogs are the best. I have had dogs my entire life and currently have 2 little guys (9yr and 14yr). No matter where I go I always find the dogs! If your pup is friendly, they’ll get along great with mine! Currently relocated here for a job and unfortunately that didn’t work out. I’m currently searching for the next career move, and I would love for that to be taking care of your pup! Obviously listening to the advice of the parent first, my house is their house, for all friendly pups! I have a large fenced in back yard with flood lights all around.
About: I’ve taken care of animals of every kind since I was able to walk. I have owned rabbits, cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, snakes, fish, lizards and even tarantulas. Neighbors, friends and family rely on me to walk, feed, administer medication & bathe their pets. I love spending quality time and talking to animals even my fish. :) I have even had many animals just show up on our doorstep as if I have an animal magnet... all have been safely returned to their owners. Zoophilist to the fullest! I'd love to help care for your animal family members! Coast Guard Veteran. I am a stay at home/homeschooling Momma. I do not leave the house often so I'll have plenty of time to play with your babies!

About: I’ve grown up on a horse farm and have had multiple dogs since I was a child. Taking care of the dogs has always been my job while I am home. I am currently in between jobs in my field and am looking to fill the gap I love animals and want to help out where can while also making some pocket change. I am extremely trustworthy and reliable. Somewhat of a people pleaser and will do everything by whatever rules and steps you request. Willing to go on long walks to entertain pups and could potentially bring one of my small dogs along to socialize if preferred.
“I can’t say enough good things about Farrin! She has an obvious love for animals and such a sweet demeanor. She met me and Charlie before drop in visits for a week and he immediately loved her. She had great communication throughout, sent the cutest pictures, and I had such peace of mind leaving my little guy in her care. Don’t hesitate to use her for your pet. ?”

About: I have owned my own Grooming,daycare, boarding facility on Base in Japan ! It was one of the best experiences. I have dealt with all kinds of pup sizes and temperaments! I know how to asses a situation before anything is elevated, I know the signs if something is not right, and give clear communication to the owners. I love being able to help others out since dogs are my de-stressors and being SECFO I just don’t want to talk to people some days ! My schedule is always changing and some days I’m 0900-1700 or 0600-1400. Then having random days off . I am an Ophthalmic technician for my full time job, but A lot of the doctors are on Summer leave right now. So I have a lot of time and would love to give back to other people and their fur babies! I have two kids that are in daycare full-time and being off three days a week sometimes which definitely hurts a paycheck! So I’m pretty open and free ! Oh well first off I always treat my clients house with respect! If there was an accident how to clean it up immediately and then take the trash out since I would hate to come home to a house that smells like poop or pee. If we were going on a walk or playing outside I would always check the harness before we even leave to make sure it is completely secure as well as checking the locks on the door and fence if we were outside. I always wipe paws and make sure your fur babies experience is wonderful ! I communicate fully with the owner of there is anything wrong, toy shredded, poop etc just to make sure we are on the same page .

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Shalimar is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 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 November 2026, there are 948 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Shalimar. 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.
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 Shalimar 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 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.
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 Shalimar 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 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.
