About: Hello my name is Anna! I have had dogs and cats all my life and have been dog sitting for my family for years. I am very comfortable around all breeds and sizes, including high energy breeds and have had experience with many different dog personalities. I have such a passion for animals and I can not wait to shower your pets with love and care. I am a nurse, so I am very responsible and am comfortable administering medications to your pup or cat. I do work full-time as a nurse but have a flexible schedule. Please contact me with any questions you many have. I promise to love your pet as my own and I can't wait to meet your dog or cat!

About: About Me: Hi, I’m Andi! My goal is simple: to be your pup’s second best friend and to give you absolute peace of mind while you are away. As someone who has personally raised and loved four dogs of my own, I know firsthand that pets aren't just animals - they are family. I understand how tough it can be to leave them behind, which is why I treat your pet's routine, comfort, and safety with the highest level of care and respect. When I’m watching your dog, keeping their regular routine is my focus. Whether they have a strict feeding schedule, specific potty and playtime breaks, or just do best in a calm predictable environment, I make sure everything goes smoothly. You can travel guilt-free knowing they are happy, safe, and sticking to their normal routines. Because I work from home most days, I am nearby to ensure your pup has consistent companionship and care. My workday structure allows me the flexibility to step away and manage whatever your dog needs, keeping their daily routines seamless. Mornings: The day starts with a timely potty break, breakfast and fresh water, with some morning companionship before I focus on work. Mid-Day: I am easily able to take breaks for mid-day potty runs, quick playtime stretches, or a walk. Your pup will have a buddy nearby throughout the day to ensure they feel safe and secure. Evenings & Nights: Dinner is served right on time, followed by an evening with walks, playtime, and cuddles. Before bed we'll do one last potty break and settle into a calm, relaxed environment. A Quick Note on Schedule Variations: While I am home most of the week, I do work from the office on Wednesdays from 7:00 AM to 2:30 PM. I always make sure dogs get a great morning routine and potty break before I head out, and I am right back in the afternoon for their next break. Additionally, I occasionally work a second job on weekends. If a stay falls over a weekend, there may be stretches where the pups are left alone, but they will always be safely settled and completely taken care of before and after! Because I view your dog as family, their safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. Having raised four dogs of my own, I know how to spot potential hazards and maintain a secure, low-stress environment. I only host or sit for one family's pet(s) at a time. Your dog will never have to compete with unfamiliar dogs for attention, and you don't have to worry about the unpredictable behavior of other people's pets. They get my full focus. I am incredibly mindful of open doors, gates, and secure leash attachments. I keep a tidy, dog-friendly space so your pup can lounge, explore, and enjoy a truly relaxed environment. Trust starts before the stay even begins. I never skip a Meet-and-Greet because I want to learn your dog's unique quirks, what makes them nervous, and exactly how they behave in different situations. If anything ever seems off—whether it's a change in their usual energy, appetite, or bathroom habits—you will be notified immediately. I treat your pup with the same watchful eye and care I gave my own.

About: I've taken care of my dog for a little over 6 years, an extremely anxious rescue. He is well trained and very social. I can work with any sorts of dogs, small and loud, big and reactive, anything in between. Long or short walks. I currently in between jobs and doing some interviews, so I have plenty of time to help take care of your pet as if they were my own! I have one dog who lives in an apartment, but he is very active and socially. We go on at least one 2ish mile walk per day, but he loves playing fetch or with other dogs at the dog park.

About: I have a passion for caring for dogs and professional experience to match! I’ve completed six months of dog training education through Kennelwood Academy, have 1.5 years of veterinary experience, and have worked in daycare and boarding. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, and dogs with different personalities or behavioral needs. I focus on making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while following their individual routines and care instructions. I work 8-5 shifts but will happily spend my time off and days off loving on your babies. I take my youngest pup to work with me to make sure her potty schedule stays the same. I feed my animals 2x a day. Morning and night and let them run and play outside as much as I can. I have 3 loving and friendly dogs of my own with a big fenced in yard for your fur babies to play and prance around in all they want. I will happily go on long or short walks with your pet if there’s no yard for them to be secure in. As well as making sure they will get all the cuddles and play time they wish to have.

About: I have had 5 dogs in my life and have loved and cared for three dog at once before! I have always grown up around dogs and my dogs are always my world! I live an active lifestyle and work a 9-4. I do have an hour lunch break if needed to make it home during that time. But when I’m home I go for a walk in the morning and at night after dinner. I am always keeping an eye on my dog at home and making sure his bowl is always full of water and for when he needs to potty!

About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I have grown up around animals and understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and reliable. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and following the owner’s instructions closely so their routine stays consistent. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m looking to help with walks, drop-ins, and pet care when I’m available. I’m dependable, communicate clearly, and will always do my best to keep pet parents updated. My availability may vary by day, but I will only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. I always put safety first by following the pet parent’s instructions, keeping dogs secure on walks, watching doors and gates carefully, and paying attention to each pet’s behavior. I will make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, and a clean, comfortable space. I understand that every pet is different, so I will be patient and respectful of their routine, comfort level, and needs.

About: I’ve been caring for pets most of my life, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats who need a little extra love and patience. Over the years, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to connect with each one to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing fetch, or providing calm companionship, I adjust to what makes your furry friend happiest. Safety, reliability, and compassion are always at the heart of the way I care for animals. I’m currently not working so I do have open availability. I do volunteering 2 times a month on Saturday’s so I would be available for a bit before or any time after. While I am currently not offering in home services at my home, I am comfortable providing services at your home. I will follow your instructions given!

About: I have been entrusted with the care of many friends and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I have my own cat, Pidge, who I trained to go on walks and do tricks. He’s very friendly and people oriented. I just adopted an Aussie puppy and have been adapting her to the world and keeping her mentally stimulated. I am a detail oriented and thorough sitter. If your pet has special quirks or needs I am more than willing to abide! I can go over their training, take them on a walk and prepare special treats or meals. Anything to ensure my visit is as close to their usual routine as possible. Your pets comfort and care is my top priority. My schedule works perfectly for date nights, concerts, and any special events you may have in the evening during the week. Weekends I’m fully available. If you want your dog to get some socialization I’m also willing to orchestrate a play date with my dog (after an initial meet with you present). I would love to check in on your pet or take your dogs (or cats) for a walk! I work full time so I am available on weekdays in the morning, evening and overnight. Weekends all day. I can visit after work and take them on a walk, feed them, let them out to potty, check their food/water, do some training, etc. I am detail oriented and will make sure I follow the specific routine and guidelines you require for your pet. In my own home I have a daily schedule for my puppy’s training in 10min increments to maximize her training and behavioral development, as well as give her my undivided attention in the hours she’s awake. I wouldn’t hesitate to go above and beyond for your pets as well. I care about the well being and safety of all animals and will make sure every pet in your home is treated with respect.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Shawnee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Shawnee on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,763 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Shawnee. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shawnee. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
