“We went on vacation and Vanessa did drop in visits while we were gone, and she was fantastic. She was great with communication, sent us updates and pictures daily, and our cat Winnie absolutely loved her. Definitely recommend her if you need anyone to stop by while you are away!”
“Great experience. My cat didnt let Emily interact much but she was a great communicator and took excellent care of my girl. Will gladly book again when I need a sitter.”
“Wendy was absolutely amazing! I had a sitter lined up who stopped responding the day before my trip. I messaged Wendy and she was available to come with less than a 24hr notice. She went above and beyond for all of my animals. Bringing fresh greens for my lizard, getting more wet food for my cats, and sweeping. I would absolutely recommend her. And will 100% be using Wendy next time I go out of town.”
“This was our first time having Alyssa as our house sitter and it was for quite a long stay. I’ve had some challenging experiences in the past, but Alyssa made me feel very secure in her ability to take care of all the animals. She was communicative, reliable and overall just had great energy about her. We feel really fortunate to have found her and we hope to use her in the future! Thank again Alyssa, we really appreciate you!”
“This was our first vacation with Rachel as our kitty wrangler. Took her just one visit before our shyest kitty realized she was a friend 😊 We will definitely rebook with Rachel.”
“Whitney stopped by and provided check in visits as we had arranged. She was able to give the snacks my kitty enjoys and build rapport. Sent pictures to reassure me that my kitty was not stressed. Appreciated knowing someone dependable was checking on my little family member!”
“Angela was an amazing cat sitter! She took excellent care of all our cats and made sure every one of their needs was met. She truly went above and beyond, doing thoughtful extra things without even being asked. She even watered our fuchsia, which was so sweet. It gave us great peace of mind knowing everything at home was so well cared for. I highly recommend Angela’s cat-sitting services and would gladly hire her again!”
About: I have taken care of multiple types of animals, I started pet sitting for neighbors around the age of 7. I have a deep love for all animals including reptiles, birds, and spiders! Im in school for psychology, so I have a fairly open schedule and I normally spend a lot of time outdoors anyway and i love to take dogs on walks I am offering multiple walks, feedings, and checkins as needed. I spend a lot of time with my pets, I even have a harness and take my cat on hikes. I have a deep love for animals and I prefer to spend my time with them
“Emily was awesome! I was super nervous because I had never had someone watch my dog before but she took great care of my high energy dog while I was gone. Will definitely schedule again sometime!”
About: I've been in a 2-3 dog (and later on one grumpy cat) household my entire life. My shared company of animals is a major part of my identity and is represented now by my pursuit of a degree in animal sciences. At times, I feel I understand them better than people; they've always been an anchor for me in difficult times. I hope my passion for creatures big and small can shine during my time caring for your furry friends. Since moving away from home to attend Oregon State University, I leave behind two goofball dogs, Grizzly Bear and Tig, and one sassy old cat, Hazel, my little lady. As a full-time student at OSU, I have classes Monday thru Friday, and though I am unopposed to weekday commitments, weekends are when I am most free. My availability: Wednesday - 1pm and beyond free Thursday - 7pm-9pm Friday - 3pm and beyond free Saturday - All day available Sunday - All day available I am open to helping out on weekdays if I am not too swamped, and would do better with short term commitments, but weekends are wide open! I am experienced with all types of pups, from chill to nervous. Throughout the walk/stay/visit, I will clearly communicate how I conduct your animal's routine and how your pets are doing during our time together. I will never do something I feel uncomfortable with and this includes keeping the safety of myself and your pet as the main priority.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and though I haven’t recently because of getting a job, I used to take care of dogs in the neighborhood. They trusted me to know what their dog needs and to love them I have my own cat named Dobby and everyday I feed him, care for him, and make sure all of his needs are met. I also make sure he is healthy and happy. I will make sure I ready instructions for your fur baby carefully to make sure no miscommunications happen. I will devote my time to making sure your pet is well cared for
“Tori was caring and good to my dogs while I was across the country. She would send cute photos of my fur babies having fun. I am already booking her again for my August 2nd travels!”
“Thor does a great job stopping by and checking on my cat! I made a mistake with some of the dates, and he was really nice and understanding about it. I will definitely keep using his services!”
About: I’ve taken care of and walked dogs since I was in middle school, currently have my own 8 year old pitty girl and we have 2 other doggy roommates. I have experience with cats as well as I have many friends with cat that I’ve cared for :) I hope to provide comfort and care to your furry pal(s) ❤️ I work as a bartender in Philomath and Corvallis but pretty active and willing to drive around as I have friends and family from Eugene to Portland to the coast! Weekends are pretty open for me as well for checking in on your pet or walking them! I love to create a relationship with new furry friends that will allow them to gauge how they feel about me and hopefully I can earn their trust. I will ensure not to force them to do anything they don’t want and provide them with love and care as I would my own pets ❤️
About: Hi there! I am a fear free certified Dog Trainer with a passion for animals of all sizes. Growing up, I had the opportunity to live with and care for a variety of animals including livestock, dogs, cats, pocket pets, aquatic animals, and more. In my free time, I cared for dogs and cats residing at the local animal shelters, providing them with loving attention and exercise. I have also fostered dogs and cats of all ages in my home providing them with a safe, loving, and enrichment-filled environment until they find their forever home. Throughout my stay, you can expect to receive daily updates covering their activities and overall well-being. This can include written updates, photos, or short clips of their daily activities. I am skilled at administering medications as needed and can provide specialized care for your pets. I follow your daily routine strictly and provide mental stimulation for both cats and dogs to ensure the smoothest transition until you return. I look forward to meeting you and thank you for your time! I am currently providing pet care and training fulltime so I will be able to provide your pet with my full attention throughout their stay. They will be cared for as if they were my own. I will follow the routine your pet is used to and be sure to provide extra love and attention to help them settle in comfortably.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 805 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shedd. 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 Shedd. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
