About: I want to provide peace of mind to pet owners, by caring for their furry family members in there absence, as I want for my own furry family. Safe, loving and fun environment for pets to be cared for. I have senior animals and a puppy..I also give injections and have no problem giving medications. My husband and I both work, but due to different shifts, someone is always home to care for our guests. We can always be available. We have a fenced in yard, and also a smaller fenced in yard to secure no escapes :) we can modify as needed for your precious pet.
About: I have a degree in animal behavior from Canisius College with a major focus being animal care/husbandry and welfare. I have had pet dogs both big and small since I was 7 years old and have been helping to watch neighbors’ and family members’ dogs since I was 13. I will use this extensive experience caring for and walking dogs as well as my uniquely relevant educational background to ensure your pets are well taken care of, happy, and healthy! My schedule is currently variable however excepting any major changes I am mainly available for drop in visits and walks on most days from mid-day to late-evenings and occasional overnights. I have a fenced in backyard in a quiet suburban community. We have a cat who is friendly with other animals and people. With a background in animal behavior I am well versed in safe, proper care in addition to best practices in regards to animal welfare and am excellent at reading animals’ body language for signs of distress which I can use to make sure your dogs feel safe and comfortable.
“Kelsey was wonderful with my pups who can be a handful . She arrived on time and played with Zoe and Ivy giving them time to release their pent up energy . I will be definitely reaching out for her services again !! Thank you”

About: I have 2 cats with eye problems and took another in who was severely malnourished. Under my care, they are all thriving and loved. I also love dogs, and dog owners trust me because of my reliability and transparency. My favorite dog that I have ever taken care of is a corgi! I am currently a student with a regular routine, allowing me to be reliable for your pet's needs. Your pet would be my #1 priority, and any other plans would be kept to an absolute minimum. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with them to release some of their energy. I have been practicing dog training, which will also keep your dog occupied while you are gone. I always ensure that food and small objects are kept out of the way to avoid any health concerns, and watch your pet closely while outside or eating.
“Marisa was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover and I wasn’t completely sold on letting strangers into my home. Marisa made us feel so comfortable and safe. She sent tons of photos of my fir babies and showed them so much love and affection. She did a great job at cleaning up and feeding them as well! Would definitely book her again. You are amazing Marisa!”

“Mackenzie did drop-ins for our 2 cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was great! She fed the cats, cleaned the litter box daily and played with our cats. She was always on time and very reliable. Would definitely be returning to her if we need her again. Highly recommend her to all pet owners. She’s extremely responsible and caring. She kept us updated daily with the pictures of our cats.”


About: Years of fostering dogs has given me hands-on experience with all kinds of breeds, ages, and temperaments. I know how to handle anxious pups, high-energy dogs, and everything in between. My goal is always to provide the same love and structure I’d want for my own pets—so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because it’s something I’ve been doing for years through fostering and pet sitting. I plan my days around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs—like medications or training. I love creating a consistent, calm schedule that keeps pets happy and stress-free. I always start by learning each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and fun environment with regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their schedule to the letter and make sure their space stays tidy, secure, and welcoming.

“Barbie was great! She took good care of our kitties and spent the time needed for them to warm up to her, playing and giving affection. She also went above and beyond helping with house related things while we were away. She even dealt with an owl that got in our house through the chimney and had the composure and knowledge to get it out safely protecting both the kitties and the house. I appreciated her communication throughout the process and trip. I know she already has plenty of positive endorsement, but I would recommend her to anyone in the area who needs someone to watch their fur babies.”

About: I’ve been a pet-parent of both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and I have experience watching other people’s pets, too! I only work part time, so i’m available most times/days of the week. My schedule is also very flexible, so I can always move things around to prioritize your pet. I have a fully fenced-in side and backyard with lots of room for running and playing. I also have stairs for getting onto high furniture for dogs with accessibility needs.
About: I have cared for and owned many dogs since I was a child. Have cared for and boarded family members dog on many occasions in the last 6 years. I am very kind and patient with all animals. I work full time Monday to Friday. I can watch or board your pet fully on the weekends or after 4PM during the week. If its a pet that already uses crating during the work day I can also accommodate. I have a large fully fenced large yard, large home and will gladly walk your dog in the neighborhood. We have two kind children who love dogs and can help keep your dog company.
“Allison just walked our active dog still puppy stage for the first time. She handled her really well. Allison also came by yesterday to meet Mabel and was energetic, friendly, professional, and kind. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her again.”

About: With 30+ years of pet care experience, I provide loving, attentive care for pets of all ages. Experienced with puppy training, senior pets, and giving medications, I treat every pet like family while you’re away. As a mother of four, a special education teacher, and a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and small animals, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every pet I care for. I’m home by 3 PM on weekdays and have open weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, meals, and companionship. Your pets will be treated like family, with consistent care, attention, and lots of love while you’re awa Clean, attentive, and passionate about pets!

About: I provide reliable, compassionate care for both cats and dogs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. My responsibilities include feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications when needed, and giving pets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection.I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable and reduce stress. I am dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet as if they were my own while giving owners peace of mind that their companions are in caring hands. I work full time Monday through Friday from 7am to 3pm, but I’m available for pet care before work, after 3:30pm on weekdays, and any time throughout the weekends. I can provide evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and weekend boarding. I’ll always communicate with you, follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and quality care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a large fenced yard for dogs to enjoy, and the driveway entrance is securely blocked off whenever pets are outside. Cats are kept safely indoors in a calm environment. I have two friendly, well-socialized dogs, and I always introduce pets carefully while supervising all interactions. I can keep pets separated if needed, follow your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I have been able to take care of animals (dogs and cats) since age 5 as I had pets throughout my whole life. I have also briefly owned horses building the skillset of hygiene care for larger animals. I absolutely love dogs. I have had experience with small dogs all the way up to English Mastiff and Ridgeback sizes. I have been a helpful pet sitter for many family members and some friends. I absolutely love animals and plan to incorporate them into my therapeutic process with clients in the future. Please send them my way and I will give them all the love and empathy while you're away and as needed! I am a graduate student with an internship which entails the need for a daily routine. I am more flexible for weekends and holidays, and I am also willing to make other days work given enough time notice in advance. I love to be outside year-round, especially fall and winter, so I will be active with animals in snow/cold or sunshine which means walks and playing! I have three cats who have everything they need including love and grooming! I have a three-legged cat who requires more care for hygiene and grooming, so he gets lion cuts every so often. All of my cats get treats and are spoiled with love. I am flexible and willing to work around whatever is needed for safety and the environment. I would prefer to do house visits and drop-ins to feed/let outside, etc. I would need to be provided equipment like leashes, crates, food bowls, food, etc. I do not want to disrupt your pet's routine or familiarity of their own materials.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 910 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
