“Chandler did a great job taking care of our 2 cats. She was kind, gentle and attentive to their needs. One of our cats was recently diagnosed with Diabetes and handled the insulin shots great. She also spent time playing & sitting with our cats, plus sent lots of fun photos and updates! We’ll definitely hire her again!”
About: I am grateful that I got to grow up around animals and build special bonds with them! Ever since I was little, I cared for my own pets, my family’s and friend’s. I am detail oriented and care about you and your pet! I work full time during the week and I am off later in the evenings. My weekends are open to care for your furry friends! It is my top priority to create consistency and safety for my own cat, and that is still just as important when it comes to your pets! I appreciate clarity when it comes to expectations regarding your pets care.
“Nicole was amazing! Very friendly very personable. Took great care of our cat while we were away. Gave detailed reports of how he was doing. Kept track of some of his behaviors we’ve been monitoring. And sent some of the CUTEST photos. 10 out of 10. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Austin was great with our cats! Our cats usually don't like new people but they both took to Austin very quickly. He sent plenty of updates and pictures throughout the week and even cleaned up their hairballs/vomit when it occurred. Would recommend booking with Austin if you need someone great and trustworthy to watch your pets.”
“We found out at the last minute that our spring break accommodation did not allow cats, and Susan saved the day! We always prefer someone who has experience with cats, and Susan’s experience and love for all animals shone through from even the first meeting. When we had questions after coming home, Susan was responsive and helpful.”
About: Hi! I have over ten years of experience taking care of dogs and cats from just one day old to many many years old. I love all animals but I am especially well-versed with dogs. I even delivered a litter of puppies once! I currently am a student online at UCLA. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I am able to fit my schoolwork around your needs! I am happy to care for your pet/ your home as much or as little as you would prefer. I am very flexible, it just depends on your preferences!
“Megan was wonderful with my 3 cats while we were out of town. I was worried the cats wouldn't warm up having a stranger show up to feed them, but Megan was patient and won them over. As a Rover sitter myself I appreciate the effort it takes to make that happen. I will be recommending Megan to anyone that contacts me to sit that I'm not able to do myself!”
About: Hey! I’m Alissa, and I’ve spent over 4 years loving on animals through doggy daycares, a humane society, and now as a vet assistant. I’ve worked with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities— from bouncy puppies to sweet senior pets who just need a little extra TLC. I’m especially experienced with older pets and those with medical needs, and I always take a gentle, low-stress approach to make sure they feel safe and comfy. Got a shy or nervous pup? No worries—I’m super patient and all about building trust at their pace. I also enjoy helping young dogs learn the basics (like sit, stay, shake, and lie down), and I can even trim nails for those who are chill with it! Whether your pet is playful, sensitive, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own and do my best to keep them happy while you're away. I currently work at an animal hospital 4 days a week (Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri, and alternating weekends) until around 5:30 PM. ✅ Available: Tuesday – Open availability Evenings after 7:00 PM-9:00 PM on workdays Midday weekends – typically free between morning/evening shifts Let me know your pet's routine, and I’ll do my best to fit them in with the care they deserve! When I care for pets in their own home, I try to keep things as normal, safe, and comfy as possible—like you never even left! I take the time to get to know your pet’s unique quirks, routines, and favorites so they feel totally at ease with me. I stick closely to your instructions, whether it’s feeding schedules, meds, walk times, or just knowing which toy is the real favorite. For seniors, shy pets, or those with anxiety, I use a calm approach and let them take the lead so they feel safe and respected. I’m totally cool with alarms, crates, and all the little home details, and I always treat your space with care. You’ll get regular updates and cute photos from me so you know everything’s going great. I hope to make every animal feel relaxed, happy, and most of all loved.
“Wonderful job caring for our 2 cats and 1 dog. Two had medication, one very shy cat. She made friends with all 3 in a very short period of time. Thank you 🐈🐕”
“Megan was absolutely amazing! I have 4 rambunctious pups and she handled all their personalities with no problem! One pup jumped the fence twice and Megan ensured she was safe after carrying her back in the house. I highly recommend Megan and will definitely use her again! It was very nice to actually relax on vacation knowing all the pups were loved and cared for.”
“Hilary is amazing! My first time booking I was nervous for someone to watch my girl. Hilary put my mind at ease with lots of updates, photos, and even FaceTimes! She’s awesome and so trustworthy would 10/10 book again!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and my neighbors pets since middle school. I have gone to neighbors houses while they were away to just take the dogs out and feed them or clean their house supplies. This has been in a setting where I stay at the cilent’s house or I go over for a few hours a day. I have cared for small, big, young, and old dogs, I love them all! I am currently working Monday - Thursday Mondays and Tuesdays 8-5 Wednesdays and Thursdays 7-3. I am also unfortunately allergic to most dogs that shred and would need hypoallergenic dogs to care for. I have a vechile to be able to reach you and your pets. I have stayed at houses with and without fences when dog sitting.
About: Hello! My name is Lucy, and I’m so excited to welcome your pup into my home! I have over 12 years of experience working in the pet care industry, including roles at two dog daycares, a veterinary hospital, and a puppy store. Through these experiences, I have gained extensive knowledge of canine behavior, health, enrichment, and providing individualized care for dogs with different needs. I am Dog First Aid Certified and Dog CPR Certified, with experience in medication administration, senior pet care, and animal hospice support. While I now work from home as a social worker, I continue my passion for caring for animals by running my in-home boarding business through Rover. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and a comfortable routine for the dogs in my care. I treat every pup like they are part of my family and strive to create a safe, loving, and enriching home environment where they can feel comfortable while their owners are away. I would love the opportunity to meet your pup, learn about their personality and routines, and provide them with the care, patience, and love they deserve! Welcome to Chip’s Dog House! My boarding business is dedicated to my sweet beagle, Chip, who tragically passed away from cancer in 2024 at just 8 years old. He inspired me to create a safe, comfortable home-away-from-home for other dogs. I provide a structured, safe, and fun in-home boarding experience for dogs in my care. My home operates more like a small, personalized daycare rather than traditional boarding, with a maximum of 8 dogs per day so every pup receives plenty of attention, supervision, and care. Throughout the day, dogs follow a consistent routine that includes frequent outdoor play, enrichment, social time, and scheduled quiet time indoors to rest and recharge. I believe dogs do best with a balance of activity and downtime, so I provide opportunities for them to play, relax, and feel comfortable in a home environment. For meals, all dogs are fed separately to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable during feeding times. Owners only need to provide their dog’s food — I provide everything else, including bowls, toys, blankets, bedding, and other supplies needed for their stay. When I need to leave the home for errands, meetings, appointments, or my daughter’s activities, dogs relax in our designated boarding room. This space is set up specifically for boarding and includes comfortable beds, blankets, toys, and fresh water so dogs have a safe and cozy place to rest while I am away. Cleanliness and safety are a top priority. Between each stay, all areas are sanitized, bedding is washed, bowls are cleaned, and supplies are refreshed to provide a clean environment for every dog. I am home most of the day with my 3 year old daughter, which allows me to provide frequent supervision and interaction. While I do leave the house for necessary activities, I maintain a structured routine so your dog has a safe, predictable, and comfortable experience. Boarding Requirements Must be fully potty trained Must have no history of property damage Must be spayed or neutered Must be dog-friendly Must be up to date on vaccinations Must be free of fleas, ticks, and contagious illnesses No history of aggression toward people or other animals Pick-Up & Drop-Off Pick-up and drop-off hours are 8:00 AM–9:00 PM All pick-up and drop-off times must be communicated and agreed upon in advance Please do not arrive outside of your scheduled time without prior communication

Absolutely wonderful experience! Noelle took such great care of my dogs, and I couldn’t have asked for someone better so last minute. On top of the great communication, she’s reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone!
Pamela did a great job. This is the 2nd time she’s checked on my pets and they enjoy being around her, she even gets my shy guy to come out to say hello for pictures. Also Pamela sends great pictures every day. I will definitely hire her again if possible.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Shawnee is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 2,719 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Shawnee. 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.
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 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.
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.

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 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.
