About: I love furry pets of all shapes and sizes! I grew up with cats, a guinea pig, and a rabbit. Since moving out on my own, and learning my husband has cat allergies, we have owned dogs. We have two of our own, and I am thankful that my friends and family feel like they can count on me with their dogs of all ages. Recently, I have been working with a family member’s new puppy, and checking in on some neighbors senior dogs. I know dogs decide who they jive with, and I will never force it. I am returning to school as a full-time student right now, but most of my classes are online this semester. I am looking for work that can work around me right now. My weekdays are largely open, with classes after 3pm on MWF. You can expect me to only take on pet care that I can truly dedicate my time to. Since I am offering drop-ins and walks, you can expect me to follow your rules and wishes in your home. I promise to leave your space better than you left it, making sure to care for your pet and cleaning up after any messes made while we are together.

About: My biggest concern while I’m away on vacation is “how are my dogs doing?” They are like my children. I have used Rover in the past to watch my dogs and home while I’m on vacation. I want to be that trustworthy person for someone else. I have ALWAYS been an animal lover! I have rescued dogs, I’ve fostered dogs and watched dogs for friends and family. I have two Golden Retrievers at home who love to have company come over and play in the fenced in backyard. I am looking forward to taking care of your Furbaby like they are my own I work Full-time but am able to leave for lunch to take care of any pets needs during the day. Right now I go home everyday on lunch and spend time with my dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and 2 Golden Retrievers who love to have company! At this time, if I watch your dog in my home, he/she would need to be crated while I’m at work. They would be crated no longer than 4 hours unless I make other arrangements with my job, where I could come home more frequently.

About: My name is Jayden and I've been taking care of my own pets for years. From my antisocial low energy mutt that I trained to be a therapy dog and acted as a therapy dog for 3 years to my high energy high-maintenance senior German shorthaired pointer as well as every dog from a beagle to a great Dane. I also had a cat that I helped raise from a kitten to fully grown tuxedo cat. I love animals and they seem to love me back; I would love a chance to love your pets!! I am currently a full-time college student without a job, so I have tons of free time when I'm not occupied with classes or schoolwork. As a women walking dogs does seem scary, but I am very fit and able to protect myself. I have experience with fetch, walks, jogs-although I don't love running, hikes, most indoor play and outdoor play due to my hyperactive dog growing up. I've also taught dogs to walk on leashes and have experience with non-leash trained dogs, so that won't be an issue. I don't have any allergies so I can feed and give your pets lots of love without any problems.

Military, Buffalo, NY, 14207

About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.

About: Here for all the walks, attention and care you need! Hi I am Celina W. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and been a hands-on, reliable pet sitter for friends and family since I was a teenager. As a dog mom to a German shepherd (Loki) and Malinois mix (Meelo), my experience with working breeds makes me a perfect fit to handle even the most energetic of dogs. If there are any behaviors or manners you are working on with your pet, please let me know and I will work with your pet on skills! My shitzu-yorkie Stella had puppies in my closet when I was a teenager, so I have hands-on experience handling dogs from birth- golden years. I have even rescued cats from a burned house and was able to foster and rehome them. I’m the kind of sitter who gets down on the floor to play, encourages enrichment activities and treats your pets like the unique little personalities they are. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or sticking to a careful routine, I show up with matched energy, patience, and genuine care. If your pets love affection, silliness, structure, or all of the above, they’re in good hands with me. If you have other critters or small pets in your home, I am sure I can assist you. Let's start a great long-term relationship! I am recently resigned teacher who is looking for fulfillment in life and currently in-between jobs. I am trying to build up my pet base so I can pursue this full time. I have plenty of time to play and care for your pups and/or cats/ small animals and will be fully engaged. I have open availability; I am also looking for long-term clients! Pet care will have to occur at the clients home and/or surrounding area. I can provide all necessary care and stimulation at your home. I am here for you and what you need. Preferrably the client would provide the leash and waste products. Depending on your comfortablility I can take your pup on scenic walks / jogs in the neighborhood or nearby parks. My client and aunt has a big dog that is a gentle giant if your dogs ever need some social interaction.

About: I have a senior dog of my own who I’ve had for about 5 years! I am have trained her in basic obedience, and I often take her out on trails with me for walks. Since she’s old, she occasionally has accidents, so I’m good at cleaning up messes! My ride has work from 2PM-9PM on weekdays, so ideally would have to do things before 12PM. On weekends I’m available whenever except for Sunday, we have church from 9AM-12PM but after that I am free. I can easily crate your dog for you if needed! I can make sure they’re fed, watered, and the place is clean. If they need a bath I am able to do that.

About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.

Dana was amazing, going above and beyond to take care of our baby every single day! Marshmallow also loved her and said hello, cuddled, and played with her. Dana has looked after Mallow's health while we're gone and is so knowledgeable and experienced, she was able to give us valuable advice to improve Marshmallow's health - and she takes the cutest photos. I would recommend Dana to anyone in need of an attentive, loving, experienced, kind, and wise pet sitter!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Shawnee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 133 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shawnee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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 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.
