“Jennifer was awesome checking in on my 2 cats while I was away at a conference. We texted and also spoke via phone about each cat’s need, how they may respond with a new person, and my expectations. She spent the time of the short check in to ensure they were fed, watered, and did play time with them. She also kept me apprised the entire time. I plan to use her in the future and highly recommend her!”

“Lydia provided above and beyond care while dropping in on our two kitties during our vacation. My usually shy and skittish cat warmed up to her almost instantly. When my typically social cat decided to play hide and seek, Lydia didn't just move on. She made sure to lure him out, even having me record my voice to help call him, although a good old bowl of food is what finally did the trick lol. To top it off, when our AC went out due to a tripped breaker, she noticed right away and fixed it so our cats wouldn't get overheated!! She is attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely loves what she does. Receiving her detailed daily updates gave us complete peace of mind, knowing our pets were in the best possible hands. Do not hesitate to book Lydia. I truly can’t say enough good things!”

“We would highly recommend Chelsea! We made last minute plans and she was able to accommodate our schedule. I’m (ridiculously) protective of my dog and was nervous about having someone in to care for him. Chelsea put my mind at ease immediately. She was professional, very compassionate, and has a lot of experience with dogs of all temperaments. I enjoyed her frequent updates and photos, I could see that our dog was being well cared for and had connected well with Chelsea. We will definitely use her again!!”

About: Dogs have been an integral component of my family since my early childhood. We have consistently taken in puppies and dedicated our time and effort to training them into well-behaved companions. From fundamental obedience training to advanced commands, I have accumulated extensive experience in assisting my family with their dog training and care. I firmly believe that dogs are integral members of the family and should be cherished and provided with daily love and attention. My passion for dogs extends to offering reliable and trustworthy dog walking services. I am flexible in my schedule and can accommodate your needs. Currently, I am a homemaker, which would allow me ample time to walk your fur babies. My schedule permits walks or drop-in visits between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekdays. Rest assured that I will treat your fur babies as my own. From leisurely walks to outdoor play, refreshing water breaks, and delectable treats, your furry friends will undoubtedly receive the utmost care and attention. Trust me, your pups will wag their tails with joy!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 5 year old poochon of my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether it’s overnight care, house sitting, drop-ins, or walks, I’ll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while you’re away. I am currently in an online grad school program, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Because I complete most of my coursework from home, I have the ability to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I do my best to follow each owner’s care instructions closely. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medications, or simply spending quality time together, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home while providing owners with peace of mind.
About: I grew up on a small farm and currently live with one cat and two dogs! I’ve house sat and worked with a wide range of animals- from dogs and cats to fish and farm animals- often caring for multiple pets at once. I’m flexible, dependable, and willing to adapt to each pet’s routine and personality. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can easily adapt to your pet’s routine! For longer rover sits, I ask that I can have access to wifi in order to work remotely from your home while still spending time with your pets. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable. I take great responsibility in respecting your home and space, follow routines closely, and provide dependable care with regular updates.
“We're sure you know how hard it is to find the right person to take care of your pets, and when you do, you don't want to let the secret out. So, we selfishly don't want to leave this great review for Libby, but she deserves it too much not to post... We had to leave our dogs back-to-back twice for over a week each time, and Libby was amazing with our dogs. Usually when we leave our dogs even for one week, we come home and our big rescue has licked herself bald in several places and our wheaten is so depressed he won't come out of his crate. Whatever Libby does to take care of our pups, keeps them happy and healthy! Of course our dogs are excited when we come home, but more importantly, they are healthy, happy and well adjusted! Even after these back-to-back trips, our rescue still has all of her fur and her loving disposition, and our wheaten is as happy and hoppy as always. We cannot recommend Libby enough! She is so easy to work and coordinate with and wonderful with our dogs (we didn't even mention that our dogs present extra challenges, because they have to be kept separated at all times, or they will fight - and Libby handles that beautifully too)! She is reliable, loving and wonderful! We only hope you haven't booked her the next time we need help with our dogs!”


“I wanted Day to spend some time with my dogs prior to an extended dog sit. My GSD likes to jump on people who enter the house and gets very excited. Day took charge and let Mira know to get off and waited for her to calm down before proceeding. Both dogs have specific needs ranging from sensitive stomach issues to elderly care issues. Day got to spend time with the dogs while I left them alone to get acquainted. The visit went well. Dogs were snuggled up on the couch with Day upon my return.”

“Everything went well with Alex and my three kitties, although we had an extremely shy cat that hid from her. Now that Alex has met her, she is a little less scared. If available, I will book Alex again. I am grateful that she was available during Christmas.,”

“Shena did a great job feeding, entertaining and checking on my kitty. You can tell she really loves animals and takes great care of my cat. I highly recommend her. I have used her services several times and will continue as long as she is available and willing. Thanks for taking good care of Sydney Shena!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of attention, patience, and genuine care I give every dog like they’re my own. I understand that every pup has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Because I’m home often, I’m able to keep dogs on their normal routines as much as possible, whether that means regular feeding times, medication schedules, exercise, or simply providing a calm and comfortable environment. I enjoy having animals around and make sure they get lots of interaction, affection, and personalized care while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to.

“Belinda is a FANTASTIC sitter for our pups! She does drop-ins and sometimes small walks with my two girls. She keeps them active the entire time she's there which is the full 30 minutes if not more. She sends me plenty of photos, which I love! Belinda is easy to work with, and is patient with our ever-changing schedules and last-minute requests at times. I will continue to use Belinda services as she's available to help us!”

About: Hello, my name is Sierra! As a dedicated pet owner myself, I understand the deep bond between animals and their families. With over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, I've honed my skills in providing compassionate and reliable pet-sitting services. I'm excited to extend my love for animals to your furry friends. I am seeking a rewarding opportunity to utilize my free time. I'm available most days and times and would love to offer my services as a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Your pet will feel right at home in my caring environment. I offer a safe and fun outdoor space, as well as cozy indoor comforts. I'm flexible and adaptable, ensuring that your pet's needs are always met.
About: As a child, my household had many pets through the years, which led me to volunteer at an animal shelter while in college. Around that time I also worked with animals, at a pet shop and later with a conservation group. I adore pets and always insure they feel safe and comfortable with me. I am able to read a their body language and communicate well both verbally and nonverbally. I have attended dog training classes, read multiple books about caring for pets, and watched videos for further education. At the same time, every animal is different and has their own unique personality, and it’s a joy and reward to get to know each one. I have had pets in the past, but because I travel often and enjoy pet sitting so much I find just as much joy in taking care of my clients' animals! Currently I am converting a van into a camper to continue traveling the country and meeting as many cool cats (and dogs!) as I can :) While I may not be able to provide sitting services in every location long term, I believe I bring a love of animals and joy to each sit that makes sure every pet I care for is happy and each client feels peace of mind while they are away! I am self-employed, so my schedule is quite flexible to accommodate your pets' usual routines! I may be in and out throughout the day, but I always discuss first what is normal for your pet and how I can best replicate their home life. I care for pets in my clients' homes, and I follow all written/verbal instructions given to me on pet & home care. I treat the animals and home as if they were my own, and if I have any questions I never hesitate to reach out. I am a tidy person, often a homebody in the evenings, and maintain a high level of respect for both my clients and their lovely pets.

Lydia was absolutely wonderful! My boyfriend and I have ZERO complaints about Lydia's service; we were able to relax and have no worries on our trip knowing that our fur babies were in Lydia's good hands! I loved getting pictures every drop in just to ensure that our cats were being well taken care of!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shannondale is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 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 3,367 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shannondale. 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 Shannondale. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
