About: 🐾 Your Pet’s New Best Friend! 🐶🐱❤️ Hi there! I’m a proud U.S. Army Veteran, pet owner, and lifelong animal lover! My passion for animals inspired me to step into the wonderful world of pet sitting and boarding. As an Army veteran, I understand the importance of discipline, responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. I bring those same values into caring for your furry family members! With years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments, I understand that every pet deserves patience, love, and individualized attention. Whether it’s walking, feeding, grooming, playtime, or extra cuddles, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. ❤️ A Little About My Experience: I proudly volunteered with the Greater Birmingham Humane Society for 7 years, where I helped rescue and care for many animals. This experience taught me how to build trust with pets, especially those who may be shy, timid, nervous, or adjusting to new environments. I also provide pet care services through Wag!, where I’ve proudly earned a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-star rating for my dedication, reliability, and quality of care. As a veteran, I take pride in being dependable, trustworthy, and committed to providing excellent service. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. 🐾 My philosophy is simple: Your pets are family, and they’ll be treated like family when they’re with me! From belly rubs to daily walks, I’m here to provide a loving, safe, and fun experience for your furry companions while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and making some new furry best friends! 🐕🐈❤️ Veteran-Owned Care 🇺🇸 | 7 Years of Humane Society Volunteer Experience 🐾 | 5-Star Wag!

I balance these responsibilities with taking care of my children, school, and work. I make sure pets receive consistent care and have a safe, comfortable environment. I treat every pet like family! 🐾❤️ Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles.

I also provide regular updates and photos for your peace of mind! 🐶🐱💕
“Katharine was so great with my pups and getting into my apartment (which can be difficult), literally don’t know what I’d do without her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to show their pets some love and check in on them while they’re gone.”
“Riley was absolutely awesome! I had a last minute booking in Labor Day weekend and Riley was able to get our dogs well taken care of. We were constantly in communication while they were taking care of our 3 dogs, sent lots of photos, and let me know how each one was doing. Will definitely book Riley again!”
“Katie has a pro attitude and i immediately felt at ease knowing my furbaby will be in good hands. Katie is very sharp and made effort to understand my needs even though i’m not good at explaining🤓”
“Christina was amazing! My cat, Cece, loved her. Cece normally never comes out for anyone when we are gone but she came out for Christina and got some pets and love almost every day we were gone. Clearly she was very comfortable with her and felt safe. She even went and picked up a package for me at the leasing office because it needed to be refrigerated and came earlier than expected. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m reliable, gentle, and pay close attention to your pet’s needs. I have experience with both energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra care and patience. Whether it’s giving meds, keeping a consistent routine, or just offering lots of snuggles, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and loved while you’re away!! I'm a junior in college with a very flexible schedule, and I’m home often and have plenty of free time during breaks. I love being active and outdoors, so walks and playtime are a fun part of my day. I’m also happy to relax with pets who just need company and cuddles! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always believe that consistency is key and aim to follow their routine closely so their environment is calm and comfortable. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure they get plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, and always clean up after myself and the pets.
About: Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and entertain their pets for several years. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’m a graduate student at UAB and my schedule has the opportunity to be flexible, so I am available for early mornings, late afternoon, and evening walks and check-ins during the week. On the weekends, I have full availability for whatever you and your pet need! I treat every pet like it’s my own- I shower them with love and affection, give lots of treats, and can play all day, regardless of your pet’s age, personality, or activity level.
About: I have had many feline family members growing up, currently 3 cats, and 3 dogs during my childhood! I am also a Shelby Humane volunteer. I am comfortable with cats and dogs! I am available evenings and weekends for pet care. I have a lot of experience as a volunteer at an animal shelter and believe this would be a great fit to make extra money. I have 3 cats in my home. I do not let them go outside at all. I have no dogs. How I care for them will be up to the clients instructions.
“Trevor was wonderful and such a life saver!! We needed someone to watch our fur babies last minute and he was available. He was was timely and communicative. Super nice. Will definitely book with Trevor again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and would do some pet sitting during college. Growing up dogs have been part of the family and I will treat your pets with the same respect, care, and love. Im a behavioral therapist for kids during the week, but my weekends are open for your fur babies! I’m also available for pet drop ins after 5pm during the week! I will be sure to take any necessary precautions as needed for your pets’ health and safety. I can assure you they’ll be well taken care of with me!
About: I have experience caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, and species. I grew up on a farm where we worked closely with an animal rescue. We fostered any and every animal that needed us. I love all creatures but definitely have an extra soft spot for dogs. I have dog sat and cat sat. I also worked at a pet boarder briefly where I worked primarily with dogs but also assisted with the cats. I spend my free time at my local shelter and love to get around animals in any way I can! I’m currently working a part time job and doing an internship at my church but have plenty of free time in the mornings and late afternoon to take care of your pets! I will take each pets individual needs into consideration to make sure they’re receiving the care they need. Each dog is different and requires different things so I will make sure I’m prioritizing their needs to provide an enjoyable and healthy experience.
About: I have loved animals ever since I knew what one first was! My family was active in animal rescue and it is something I kept dear to my heart all my life. I’ve actively worked with local rescues as a foster and transport for decades. I have babysat numerous pets for people over the years & I thoroughly enjoy it. I love getting to know each special little personality & instilling peace in the owners, knowing their beloved fur baby will be taken the very best care of. I have four animals & they are my absolute joys. I will treat your pet as part of my family in your absence & look forward to hearing more about your pets individual needs & personality! Whether it’s in your home, my home, daily walks, doggy playtime, & dog sitting, I can take care of it all & put your mind to ease this holiday season while traveling to & from loved ones homes. Please let me know how I can be the best pet sitter for your fur baby! I work at a local Elementary School and summer starts Monday, May 26th. I have chosen to rejoin Rover for the next couple of months throughout my summer break to bring in extra income. I will make your pet my top priority! I have 3 cats and 1 dog who are all inside pets. I do have a fenced in backyard that my dog enjoys on occasion. I am not a stickler when it comes to animals sitting on my furniture or in my bed @ night. I have crate trained many animals, as well. I have many years of experience helping numerous animals, together or separately. If your pet would be staying with me my cats will not be an issue. My dog is extremely friendly but also, does not have to be there during your pets stay, should it be an issue. I offer in home boarding @ my home. I offer walking your dog, doggy daycare, spending time with your cat(s), and any other accommodations that maybe needed.
About: I love just animals! Growing up we always had pets ranging from turtles, cats, fish, dogs, birds and horses. Animals have always been part of my life, and I've learned so much from them. I had a beloved mini-dachshund for six years and was always a bit of a worry wort when someone watched my pup. I wanted to know she was always safe, happy and well-cared for. So, after being a reliable dog-sitter for a fellow teacher for several years I realized providing a service like this would allow me to reconnect with animals while earning extra money and also serving families with excellent care for their furry family members. I love walking, playing and snuggling with dogs, cats and just about any critter of all sizes and ages, and I would love to make your pet be as safe, happy and well-cared for as I expected mine to be. I work as a full time teacher so during the school year I would serve best as a weekend sitter. However, I am available during the week as well for most holidays and most of the summer. I have a one bedroom apartment which helps me to know where and what your pet is doing almost all of the time. I live in an area that has lots of nature intact and is very dog friendly. There are two dog friendly “tennis courts” available to allow young and high energy dogs run off leash to catch a ball, frisbee or stick or play with other dog friendly pups. For house sitting stays, I am flexible and can accommodate most anyone’s unique set up and pet needs. One thing to note is that I am currently in the process of adopting my six year old niece who would accompany me for house sitting.

Laura is the BEST!! She did a wonderful job checking in on my cats while I was out of town! She was reliable and sent pictures and updates after her visits, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She gave Loki lots of love and attention, while Merlin decided he preferred to supervise from his hiding spot 😂. I really appreciated knowing they were being well cared for and would definitely trust Laura with them again! ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shannon is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 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 931 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shannon. 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shannon. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
