“Gianna was an amazing sitter for our cat Eli while we took a short trip out of town. Always arrived promptly at the times to feed and take care of Eli and from the looks of the pictures, he got Cody with her very quickly!! We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Cathleen looked after our cat and home for a week and was wonderful! The house was spotless when we came back and the anxious cat was happy as could be. She went above and beyond to fix a burst irrigation pipe in our neighbor's yard (who were also out of town).”
“Michelle really went above and beyond with my (very dramatic) kitty who needed regular meds while we were gone. She was so accommodating and creative at figuring out how to make sure my cat was taken care of. 🥰”
“Erin was so great with my cat! I got lots of updates and she played with him a lot. My cat is usually very shy and he warmed up to her right away. I will definitely want to rebook in the future with her. She also cleaned up a messy hairball and tidied up after my cat when he knocked over the trash can. I am really grateful to Erin for her help. ❤️”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and years of hands-on experience. I have four dogs of my own, and have experience training numerous dogs with different personalities and needs. I'm comfortable working with young pets who need patience, consistency, and basic training, as well as older pets who may need a slower pace and extra attention. I treat every animal with the same patience, care, and respect that I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. With four dogs of my own, my daily routine includes feeding, exercise, playtime, training, and plenty of attention. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, so adding another pet to my routine comes naturally. I’m dependable, attentive, and make sure each pet gets the individual care and companionship they need. I care for every pet based on their normal routine, personality, and their owner's instructions. In a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, exercise or playtime, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of attention. I respect each pet's boundaries and their home while keeping safety a top priority. Whether it's a high-energy dog, a playful kitten, or a pet that needs extra patience, I treat them like they're one of my own.
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I'm comfortable feeding, playing, maintaining routines, and administering medication when needed. Plus my four-month internship at an animal shelter gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs with compassion, helping ensure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved every day. I work part-time, so I'm available weekday mornings to provide reliable, loving care for your pets. I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I provide loving, reliable in-home pet care, making sure your pets stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. Whether it's feeding, playtime, companionship, or keeping up with their routine, I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention as if they were my own.
“Nicoletta really cared for our feral Ben cat unlike any other vet or vet tech we’ve known. She got to know him by just letting him be his wild self. And of course, he cozied right up with her. Noticing that he is a fast-twitch guy, she played it cool and gave him pets when he was calm. I love Nicoletta’s demeanor with our cat, and her care in posting photos meant the world to us! Such an amazing person and sensitive cat care giver!!!”
“Mallorie took amazing care of our two cats with drop in visits while we were gone for two weeks. They loved her, and she loved them. Her updates were super helpful and full of pictures, which my family appreciated. Mallorie was very respectful of our home and very responsive. Would definitely have her take care of our cats again.”
“Melissa once again exceeded my expectations! She went above and beyond to make sure my baby was well cared for while I was away. She provided detailed updates with cute pictures every time. I will be going back to her as much as possible!”
“Wonderful sitter for my anxious kitty. Cristina was caring and attentive to my kitty's needs... an obvious animal lover. Communication and updates throughout my kitties stay were much appreciated.”
“Katie is a wonderful find. She came to our home first to meet the guy, see the house, put up with my stories of his fabulousness. Then her evening and morning 1-hour visits were 1) absolutely on time as agreed, 2) featured many photos of his various activities, 3) the completed checklist of meals, litter box, etc. and 4) great info on his behavior, especially since this was the first time she cat-sat. That he hissed at her on first visit, was chill and lovey on his second (sounds like him). Katie has made it her business to know as much as she can about cat behavior (she is a cat owner), such as why female cats may like their rumps rubbed while my male cat might not. She is also just a lovely, attentive, curious person. So glad she's in the neighborhood.”

I've had rescue dogs, senior dogs, small dogs and large dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, rabbits, and gineau pigs. My friends and family describe me as an "animal whisperer," because animals seem to gravitate towards my gentle nature. I have also worked professionaly as a pet sitter through Fetch and Trusted Housesitters and received positive feedback for my excellent communication and attentive care. Animals are my passion and I have worked in wildlife conservation for the past several years and have experience observing, and handling animals safely and compassionately and am comfortable caring for birds, reptiles, fish and arthropods.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, birds, fish (both saltwater and freshwater), and small mammals as I’ve had all of them as pets or taken care of my friend's. As a teenager, I worked at a local kennel, gaining valuable experience with feeding routines, cleaning, and handling animals of all temperaments. I’ve also trained my own dogs, earning several first-place ribbons in competitions. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely passionate about animal care—whether it’s a walk around the block or providing loving companionship while you’re away! I am also experienced in giving subcutaneous fluids and administering all kinds of medications from shots to pills I currently work weekdays from 2-8:30pm along with some weekends, but weekends I am off by 3pm.

I can come morning, afternoon, and night any day I am willing to bring a small animal into my home as long as they are ok with another large dog and small cat who are very friendly. I do not have a yard, but walks are given multiple times a day and I have a decent sized 2 story townhome with dog parks and turn outs close by. If I am to go to your home, I can do anything and everything. I have experience with giving fluids to cats and dogs for health issues and administering all kinds of medication
“Leonna went above and beyond in taking care of our two skittish cats and home, as well as taking extra care with her communication. We’ll definitely rebook with her in the future!”
About: With three decades of hands-on experience, I’ve had the joy and responsibility of caring for a wide range of animals and homes. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing medication, multi-pet households to quiet countryside retreats, I’ve built a reputation for being dependable, detail-oriented, and deeply caring. Over the years, I’ve cared for: • Dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels • Cats with a wide range of personalities and needs • Rabbits, turtles, fish, and other small animals • Homes big and small—always kept clean, secure, and well-tended What sets me apart is my consistency and calm presence. I show up on time, follow routines as requested, and keep in regular communication while you’re away. Whether it’s administering medication, watering plants, bringing in the mail, or offering your pets lots of playtime and affection, I approach each sit with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own home and animals. Over the years, many of my clients have become repeat families and even friends—because they know they can trust me to show up with integrity, kindness, and competence every single time. I am a yoga facilitator and artist focused on intentional living. I love nature wanders and being present with all creatures I get to encounter. I follow each animal’s schedule—morning walks, feeding, medication, play, and check-ins—while keeping the home clean and calm. I stay observant and responsive, making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way. In your home or mine, I follow each pet’s routine with care—feeding, walks, meds, play, and rest. I create a calm, safe space and stay attentive to their needs, keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,543 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shellville Colony. 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 .
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 , 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 .
