“Kourtney was great with my dogs and always kept me informed with plenty of pictures. My dogs loved playing with her and she really took the time to keep them active and entertained during her 30 minute visits. I already have our next visits scheduled.”

“Shea was great with our cat! She was a great communicator and understood how to handle our older cat. Our cat can sometimes be a bit cranky when we get back home but this time he was much more relaxed because of the time she spent with him.”
“Tatiana was so helpful and thoughtful when watching our cats! She went above and beyond when caring for our fur-family, and she made sure to send a picture of each cat during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. I will definitely be booking Tatiana again in the future to watch our cats when we travel!”
“I had a really great experience with Gabriel. Communication was excellent and he kept me updated from start to finish of his visit with photos and let me know how Oliver was doing. I especially appreciated his honesty. He didn't just tell me the good things-he also let me know when mischief was occurring or when Oliver was having a "challenging" moment. As the owner of a young puppy I know what he is capable of. ;o) Gabriel is reliable and trustworthy young man and I will book with him again. ( I already have )”

About: Always had a dog in the house since I was a kid and been around them all my life from the smallest dog to the largest being a Great Dane, I have patients for dogs and the knowledge especially being someone new to them to handle them with care. Working full time but looking for extra activities in the evening and this would be perfect especially wanting to get more exercise and seeing new animals is a plus! I have three cats and a small dog in a two story apartment, they eat twice a day and spend time with my wife and son at home, but caring for pets in other people’s home I know is uncomfortable sometimes so I would treat even home visit with the same respect I’d want for my home and treat your pets with more care
“Angie was amazing! Very attentive and playful with my 4 pups(2 German shepherds and 2 puppies) while we were away. Her detailed reports and photos gave us a peace of mind and she provided unique care for each of their personalities! Definitely recommend and will be rebooking soon!☺️”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs. I’m not ready to get another dog yet so I know that I would be a good fit for yours. I am retired. Walking your dog would be a blessing to me as well as give you peace of mind. I will take care of yours the same as I would do for mine. I have a fenced in yard. I have no pets. I love being outside and am very active. It would be a honor to be your dog walker.
About: Hello! If you're looking for a sitter to come to your house, a dog walker, or just someone to check in on your baby, look no further. I have 3 years of experience in the veterinary field as a receptionist and over a decade of experience in caring for my own dogs! I love animals and am attentive, dependent, and knowledgeable. I can care for babies of any age and have experience handling and giving medications. I just moved to Texas in the beginning of September and am currently unemployed, so I can be there to give your baby round the clock care and attention! When watching your baby in your home, I will be there to make sure they get appropriate exercise and plenty of snuggles! I am able to stay overnight as needed or can pop in to check on them throughout the day, whichever works best for you.

I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care they get at home. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to making both you and your pet feel comfortable every step of the way. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets.

“Ashley did a fabulous job house sitting and taking care of our cat and dog. Her love of animals is clear and she’s great at communicating with you. Highly recommend!”
“Wendy was absolutely fantastic with my two pups for daily drop-in visits while I was out of the country. She made everyone, pups included, happy and comfortable. I would absolutely use Wendy’s wonderful pet services again!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I have 3 years of experience working in professional boarding facilities, which has given me a solid foundation in pet care, behavior, and safety. I also have three dogs of my own, all of whom I’ve raised since they were puppies, so I understand the energy (and patience!) it takes to care for young pets. In addition, I’ve fostered many puppies and kittens over the years, and I truly enjoy working with animals at every life stage—including seniors. I’m extremely patient, attentive, and adaptable, and I’d love the opportunity to care for any and all animals like they’re my own. My schedule is very flexible, as I run a photography business on the side, which allows me to easily make time for pet care throughout the week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and cuddle time—so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I also make sure to keep your home tidy and send regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sheldon is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 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 5,351 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sheldon. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sheldon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
