“Clarissa did such a great job taking care of not only my two cats but my aquatic turtle. Having never used something like Rover, after meeting Clarissa it was such a relief knowing my babies and my home were in such safe hands! Thank you!”
“Valerie was great sent pictures even when the cat wasn't around to take a picture of. I appreciate the care while we were gone. First time we had left him so I feel so much better. And by the way he did show up at 3:00 Upon Our return”
“What a wonderful experience! Kristin Lynn always takes such good care of my cat and sends great photos. She’s communicative and super punctual, and I know my cat is safe with her. He even gets on her lap which is something that usually takes a while for him! Would recommend without hesitation.”
“Macie did a fantastic job taking care of our sweet old boy. She was very accommodating to the schedule and always made sure to give us an update on how he was doing. Definitely will re-book in the future!”

“Bethany was so sweet and took the time to come meet Booger in person before the first official visit which was so nice. Next time I go out of town, I'd definitely feel comfortable with her watching my dog again.”
“Jennifer was great communicating how my cats were doing and making sure to let me know of anything concerning. She went above and beyond, even cleaning up after the neighborhood bear🫠 I would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Bianca Howell and I'm a medical worker with a passion for animal nutrition and care. I've been watching pets for 5 years now. I absolutely love animals and I'm hoping to become a dog groomer or even open an animal shelter someday. If you need someone to watch your furry friend, I'm your girl! I live in a townhome so I have backyard space, I also own two dogs and one cat of my own. I work 8 hour day shifts so I’m always available after 6pm, and available anytime of the day on my days off to watch your furry friend, I love when pet parents give me a written schedule! I take care of any pet as if it is my pet. I also like to follow written instructions from pet owners. Pets need lots of attention and care
About: I have had a deep passion for dogs since I was a young girl. My experience in dog care began in high school when I cared for a sick loved one’s dog. Over the course of that year, I not only gained a best friend but also developed a strong sense of responsibility and an appreciation for the joy and companionship that comes with caring for animals. Over the past 3–4 years, I have continued building my experience through dog sitting, and for the past two years, I have worked in a dog daycare and boarding facility. These experiences have strengthened my dedication to providing attentive, compassionate care while maintaining a safe and structured environment. I am committed to supporting both pets and their owners with reliability and professionalism. I start my mornings by getting my son to school between 8:30-9. Mondays & Thursdays I Work From Home with 1 dog. Tuesday Wednesday & Thursdays I’m Working In Destin. Bubba has soccer now so we attend practices and games. At my home I have a fenced backyard, enough space to crate 1-3 dogs if need be. I want the dog to be as comfortable as possible, a home away from home. As for clients homes , they are to be treated with respect & cleanliness it is their safe space, same as my home.
“Cheryl is amazing and a life saver. Took great care of our cats even the more senior one with tricky medications. Then she went out of her way to take care of our plants so they wouldn't freeze. Wow, we are so grateful and relieved to have someone wonderful like Cheryl to watch over our home and fur babies in our absence.”
About: I have worked as a kennel tech for dog daycare and took care of multiple dogs with different personalities. I’ve also pet sat cats and dogs for family friends. I typically work 4-5 days a week and work to integrate your pet needs into my schedule so that they’re taken care of while you’re away At a clients home I like to go over any safety precautions and routines so I can stick to what your pet is familiar with while I’m there.
About: I enjoy animals more then I should lol. I have 2 dog of my own. They are super social already. But I would like to just help out other animal parents when they need it. I am a very sweet and caring person. I don’t mind going to your place to take care of your fur baby or babies or having them at my place. I will love them almost as much as you love them while they’re in my care. I enjoy animals and hate thinking there is one somewhere not getting the care it needs. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby or babies and have a great time with them. I work Monday-Thursday 10am-3pm and would love to help watch your babies while giving them love either while you’re out of town or just at work I have a fully fenced in yard for your doggies and mine to roam and play. Mine are very high energy and love to be outside and then take naps afterwards
“Darsy was absolutely amazing with my 16-week-old puppy. She was consistently reliable, punctual, and genuinely caring. It's clear she loves dogs! We hope to rebook her when she’s back in our neck of the woods.”

For bottle babies and young kittens I follow your feeding chart, keep them warm, and clean them up. I keep cat and dog areas separate if needed, I never let cats outside unless you approve, and I keep everything tidy. You get an update after every visit with photos, what they ate, potty and litter details, and how they played and rested.
“Frances was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, compassionate, and gentle with our little dog while she recovered from surgery. We felt completely comfortable knowing she was there to help and care for her. We truly appreciate her kindness and loving care! ❤️”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I have always loved animals and even made a career out of it. I am a wildlife biologist. I have a sweet girl named Bell at home who is lovable and playful. I will treat your furbabies with the same kind of love I treat my own and guarantee this treatment for any animal I encounter. I get off of work at 3 pm M-F and right after work I always take my own fur baby to the dog park for at least an hour. I live in a house with 4 furbabies that all have their own special needs. In a clients home, I will treat their home like fine china and their pets like my own, with lots of care and love.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shalimar
Clarissa always does a phenomenal job when watching our cats, but she did an especially exceptional job when we were out of town during the hurricane this year. Clarissa took care of our cats like they were her own pets and definitely kept us feeling better since we knew someone was keeping a close eye on them in our absence and continued inability to return. Thank you again Clarissa for everything! You truly went above and beyond.
Kathryn was so amazing! She sent daily pictures and updates to me, giving me peace of mind & security. I also had to cut my trip short and she was so sweet and accommodating! I’m def booking with her in the future! You can tell that she really cares and loves what she does :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shalimar is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 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 985 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shalimar. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
