“Rachel did an amazing job caring for our elderly dog while we went on vacation! It gave us such peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands. We looked forward to the updates and photos from Rachel everyday, and were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was happy and healthy while we were away! I honestly think our dog is a little disappointed that we are home and she isn’t getting play time with Rachel anymore! We would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“This was our first time using August to care for our two senior cats. The cats were well cared for and the detailed reports received were a pleasure to read and made us feel like August was very observant and tuned in to their personalities. We would definitely book August again!”
About: Hi I’m Ellie and I’m 22 years old! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly believe they are one of life’s greatest gifts. Growing up, my family had six dogs, mostly large breeds, along with a couple of smaller dogs so I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I currently have two Black Labs, ages 3 and 5, who keep me active and remind me every day how important exercise, attention, and love are for a dog’s well-being. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved!!! My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. (: (I am unavailable Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 7 am- 2pm due to school). I strive to be as flexible as possible and am happy to work with your schedule. I currently work as a server, so my weekday hours can vary, but I am often able to adjust my schedule when needed. I am available for early morning visits starting around 8:00 AM, as well as afternoon and early evening visits. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out! I will always do my best to accommodate you and ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I am not offering pet care in my own home. However, I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking in my clients’ homes. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both their pets and their home with the utmost respect. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s normal routine, so I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I also make sure your home is kept clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Having owned dogs my entire life, I know that pets thrive when they feel comfortable and cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for your pets while giving you peace of mind when you’re away
“Krystina was amazing! Our Jack Russell (Scout) and our cat (Jack) immediately felt so comfortable with her. She was so thoughtful in making sure Scout did not get overheated in the very hot weather during his walks and she always made sure to have plenty of cuddle time with both of them. We will definitely book her in the future and we highly recommend her!”
About: I have dog sat and cared for many other dogs and animals before. I will always make sure the animals are well treated for and the house is taken care of. I am very friendly and strive to make sure every experience is friendly. I have two dogs of my own. I am excited to be able to take care of your dogs and make sure they get what they need while you are away from home. Something that sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I am very client forward and will work to meet your needs. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups, I am available for walks and check ins Monday/wednesday/ thursday and house sitting Monday- Sunday! I follow all directions owners leave for me to care for their dog and home.I also help run errands while owners are away, and in warmer months I take care of indoor and outdoor plants
“Nicole was excellent! She was so enthusiastic and caring, and she even handled Lily’s insulin injections like a pro. She was super respectful of our home and gave us detailed updates with each visit. We highly recommend her and would love to have her care for Lily again in the future.”
“Diana was a lifesaver for us. We needed to find someone to care for our older dog who can be stand-offish around new people, but Diana got along great with him. She went above and beyond for us and I highly recommend her if you need a sitter.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong passion for dogs and my personalized approach to each pet’s needs. I’ve had dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors, and I absolutely love them all—no matter the size! I miss having a dog around since going off to college, and working with your doggo is the perfect opportunity to get my fix! Plus, I offer daily updates so you can feel at ease while you're away. I currently work full-time as a HR Generalist for a local Industrial Sales company. I work a hybrid schedule so Monday and Tuesdays are in office and Wednesday-Friday are from home. I already try to manage my schedule in sections and like to take a break in the middle of most days to recharge and get outside when it is nice. I could use this time to travel to your locations and offer potty breaks for the animals. I'm pretty open on the weekends without commitments so putting your animal first will always be important. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for them. I stick to their usual routine, from feeding times to playtime and walks, ensuring they feel secure and at ease. I maintain open communication, providing regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing. I also make sure to keep your home tidy, following any specific instructions you provide regarding your pet's needs or preferences. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or going for a walk in the neighborhood, I treat your pet like my own, offering love and attention every step of the way.
“Megan was great with a couple check-ins while we were out of town. Our pup clearly felt comfortable with her and enjoyed belly rubs even though they’d never met before. Would hire again for sure!”
About: I've had a dog ever since I was a child and I married into a cat-loving family so I have experience and love for both pets! I love being outdoors and active as I'm an avid runner in my free time. Walking pets outside is the best of both worlds! Midwest weather also makes chilling with them inside just as fun from time to time haha. I'm a flexible caregiver and my main goal is customer satisfaction. Reach out with any questions you may have for me before booking! I work full-time in a hybrid role from 8-5 and can take an hour lunch at any time. I'm consistently free mornings, evenings, and weekends. I'll always do my best to find a time that works for you! Respecting your home and leaving it just as good as you left it is something I pride myself in. Don't be afraid to ask me to complete any duties to clean up after your pet in addition to taking care of it.
“Arabella was super responsive and communicative while checking on my kitties. She sent lots of videos and pictures that helped ease my traveling anxiety and let me know they were in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Emily is very timely and spends time with our dogs and they really seem ti like her. We are feeling very lucky to have finally found someone we can trust in our home and with our dogs when we aren’t there !”
“Ashley is AMAZING and highly recommend her!! This is our first time using Rover and we were really nervous. We have three senior dogs and two of them are pretty skittish around strangers. She reassured us with messages and pictures that showed her bonding and making our pups feel loved and safe while we were away. Our two dogs that are scared around strangers loved her and even snuggled with her. She had great communication with us regarding if they ate, drank water, played, bathroom breaks, and if there were any accidents. Will be booking with her again!”

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 Shawnee 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Shawnee choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Shawnee with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
