“Tyeshia helped us with our puppy for a couple weeks and she made the biggest impact! It is apparent that she cares about our baby girl just as much as we do! Her updates were informative and thorough, and overall communication was a huge plus. She even brought her own treats and water bowl, going above and beyond. 10/10 recommend Tyeshia to help your family, she will not disappoint. We will be booking again in the future!”
“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!”
“Rebecca is awesome. Great communication and pictures with updates. It is hard to trust that someone will take care of your dog like you would (when you are away) but Rebecca loved our 4 year old Corgi/pit mix like hee own. Thank you Rebecca for taking care of our baby while we were away!”
“Austin was on time every day to take care of my dog. He sent great pictures and asked good questions. My dog was at ease with him, and he made me feel safe. Thank you for caring so much!”
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.
“Absolutely amazing!! My one cat that NEVER comes out for anyone but me warmed up to her and clearly trusted her. So happy my babies were cared and loved for while I was gone”
“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!”

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 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shalimar
Rebecca is a natural to calm and give sweet assurance to my kitty. Rebecca is the best. It been two trips I had to take for my job. First trip 16 days gone. I felt completely assured my BeBe was well taken care of. Videos were great to see my kitty interact with Rebecca.
We had Jennifer check in on our cats while we were away for Thanksgiving, and she did an amazing job. Her communication was great and always kept us in the loop. She was professional, reliable, and went above and beyond—bringing in our packages and even cleaning up after the cats when they made a mess. We came home to happy pets and everything taken care of. Highly recommend Jennifer for anyone needing trustworthy and attentive pet care!
Isabella is fantastic! I am so relieved that she was there to take care of my babies. She went above and beyond when my oldest was unable to get up. She took her to the emergency clinic and stayed with her until they took over. I just love Isabella and her caring manner.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Shalimar on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 1,017 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shalimar. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Shalimar 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
