“So attentive and caring. I received pictures and “reports” or how Smokey was doing on each of her visits. I felt completely safe leaving my cat in her care. 10/10 will book again.”

“This was the longest I’ve ever left my cat, Jack, and I honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. Jack is extremely shy and nervous around new people, so I was very anxious about leaving him, but Nicholas was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding with him from the start. Within just a few days, Jack completely warmed up to him, which honestly says everything. I received beautiful daily pictures and videos, and it was so reassuring seeing how comfortable, happy, and loved Jack was while I was away. Because of that, I was truly able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was in such great hands. I came home to a very happy cat, and I’m so grateful for the care and attention Jack received. I would absolutely recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable pet sitter.”

About: I love cats and dogs, and have had cats most of my adult life. I believe animals are truly family members and should be treated with gentleness and respecting their nature. I have no problem following detailed instructions, and every visit I take pics to show you your fur baby is being well cared for! I am free most mornings before 8:30am and in the evenings after 6pm. On weekends I have more flexibility in my schedule. I’ll be happy to work with you on whatever your scheduling needs are! If a client discusses a list of instructions, I’ll do my best to follow them to the letter. Otherwise, I’ll follow what to me is ideal care for an animal: ensuring they have clean and fresh water, proper food, cleaning litter boxes or taking a dog out for a walk as needed, and spending a little time cuddling and playing (respecting how shy they might be!). If a pet is too shy to play, sometimes I’ll just spend a few minutes sitting on the floor and talking to them in a soothing voice so they can get used to my presence as someone who is friendly. If approved beforehand, I can even bring (or use your own) a few treats! I may also reach out to you if I see something that I think needs addressing (not enough food or litter, a pet seeming lethargic or coughing excessively etc.). If that happens, I’ll discuss with you how you want to handle it. In case of illness, I take my own cats to Wentworth Animal Hospital so, for example, if I saw your cat seemed to be vomiting excessively, if you approved it I would have no problem taking them in for a walk-in and working out the payment and a reasonable rate with you over the phone. The most important thing is to ensure that your fur baby is given the best care possible. :-)

About: I have provided daily in-home care for pets, including feeding, fresh water, and cleaning litter boxes or pet areas. I have administered daily oral medications and specialized diets to pets with chronic health conditions, ensuring 100% adherence to care plans. I have managed high-energy or reactive dogs on walks by implementing positive reinforcement techniques. I have volunteered at the local animal shelter in the past and also used to work at a grooming salon! I currently have a job as a registered nurse but my schedule is flexible allowing me to care for your pets when needed! This is something I have always wanted to do as a side job because it brings me such joy to work with animals. I will treat your pets in your home as I would my pets in my own. I will make sure they are properly cared for, cleaned up, and well fed!

“Heidi was wonderful. She came by to feed my dog, spent quality time with him, and made sure he was well cared for. She was reliable, sent great updates, and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’m especially grateful that she was able to step in at the last minute over a holiday. I’d absolutely recommend Heidi and would gladly book her again.”

She suggested a stuffie pup and it worked great! She even washed some dishes! She instantly made me feel comfortable leaving my little Lexi ❤️”

Over the years, I’ve also gained experience caring for smaller pets like ferrets, hamsters, and guinea pigs. Spending time with animals has always been therapeutic for me, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care, attention, and love I give my own. I work full time Tuesday- Friday but am able for morning and afternoon check-ins, walks, feeding, & playtime! Weekends are pretty open ! I will do my best to keep your babies on schedule I can crate dogs I have space to have cats on their own, with own litter box and bowls I have a fenced in dog area where i can take pups to get the zoomies out

About: Hi, I’m Lisa! I am passionate about providing top-notch care for pets of all ages. With a reputation for reliability, excellent communication, and a deep sense of responsibility, I am dedicated to ensuring your pets receive the attention they deserve. I can monitor your pet’s health and administer medications according to you or your veterinarian's instructions, while you’re away. My commitment to open communication—including regular updates with photos and videos—further distinguishes me as a trustworthy caregiver. Additionally, I believe in the importance of being well-educated and knowledgeable about different pet breeds and understanding their specific physical needs. My personalized approach and dedication to meeting the individual needs of each pet makes me an exceptional choice for pet owners seeking high-quality and attentive care for their furry friends. I specialize in caring for your pets on their schedules. So, whether you’re at work, and your pet just needs a potty break, or you’re out of town on vacation, you can be sure your fur babies are getting the best care and attention possible. As a caregiver, pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. It involves scheduled activities such as feeding, walking, and playtime, all tailored to the individual needs of each pet I'm responsible for. Additionally, I prioritize communication with pet owners, providing them with updates on their pets' well-being and addressing any concerns that may arise. Ensuring that pets receive proper care, attention, and companionship is a consistent and important aspect of my routine. Having someone reliable, care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, has been shown to minimize stress while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client's home, there are several important aspects for me to consider: 1. ** Feeding and Watering:** Ensure that the pets are fed according to their schedule and dietary requirements. Provide fresh water at all times. 2. **Medications:** Administer any necessary medications as instructed by the client or veterinarian. 3. **Exercise:** Take the pets for regular walks or outdoor playtime to meet their exercise needs and provide mental stimulation. 4. **Toilet Breaks:** Let the pets out for bathroom breaks and clean up after them as needed. 5. **Play and Interaction:** Engage in interactive play sessions, provide toys, and offer companionship to prevent boredom and loneliness. 6. **Housekeeping:** Ensure the pet's living area is clean and tidy, including cleaning up any accidents or messes. 7. **Communication:** Maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing updates on their pets' well-being and any concerns that arise. 8. **Emergency Preparedness:** Be aware of emergency contacts, the location of the nearest veterinary clinic, and any specific instructions for emergencies. Every pet is unique, so it's crucial for me to follow the owner's instructions and cater to the specific needs and routines of each pet I am caring for.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old, starting with my own pup who taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. From feeding routines and long walks to medication schedules and belly rubs, I’ve handled it all with care and attention. I understand how hard it can be to leave your dog—and your home—in someone else’s hands. That’s why I treat every pup like family and every home with respect. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent so your dog feels safe and happy in their environment while you’re away. Whether your dog loves daily walks, playtime, or just a quiet companion, I adapt to their needs and routine. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. Let me help make time away stress-free—for both you and your pup! I’m currently only working some days so whenever it works for our schedules I would love to provide you with all the times needed to help get the best in home pet care! I will care for the pets for when I’m at the clients home, the animals will have my full attention because they matter to me as much as they matter to you!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Shannon Forest

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
