“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Jax went above and beyond. It was so nice not having to worry about our cat while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure that we knew that our pet was left in good hands. She kept us updated every day with a summary of the days events and a picture of our pet.”
“Kaylyn made our first time experience with Rover a great one. So personable and attentive. Thanks so much for checking on our fur babe while we were away. Highly recommend! Paquita gives two paws up for excellence!!! 🐾”
“Amazing job! So highly recommended! My cats were so happy and my place even looks better! What an amazing job I can’t speak highly enough! Thank you from my cat family and me!”
“Always know my furbaby is well taken care of when we book w/ Suzanne!! Very reliable, dependable and takes the stress away of leaving our furbaby when we travel. THANK YOU!!”
“So glad we found Juliette to cat sit our shy rescue Samantha! It was evident how much Juliette loves cats! It gave us peace of mind to know Samantha was in good hands while we were away and we appreciated the photos!”
About: 4 years of experience + 2 happy pups of my own! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of friends and family and love making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m currently going to school and working my part time job when I can. I am pretty flexible during the week and available throughout the weekends. I treat every pet like they’re my own. In my home, they’ll get lots of attention, playtime, and a cozy, safe space to relax. I have half an acre for pups to run around as well as a walking path across the street. I also have the best yellow lab girl. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just spending time with them, I make sure they feel loved and cared for.
“Thank you so very much!! While I was on vacation evidently my kitty was on vacation:) He was so happy and relaxed at Lynn’s home! Not only was my kitty healthy, happy and well taken care of while I was away, he had a great time! Lynn was super kind and thoughtful with all his getting water everywhere, as he loves playing with water! I knew he felt right at home with all those funny photos. He had a great time with a fabulous change of scenery and getting to play with her cat! And he had never gone on a stroll before, the pictures were great of him safely having an awesome time in a stroller! So fun for him to be safely tucked into a fully screened-in stroller to see and smell the great outdoors! We now know he loves walks, and the stroller is a great idea! He had a nice cat box, fresh water, fresh food, and lots of love and fun, and I appreciated the piece of mind to relax on vacation knowing how well he was doing. Lynn asked me how often I wanted updates, and updated me every day, it was super wonderful! Next time I need to leave my cat, I will definitely be asking and hoping Lynn is available! Thank you Lynn!!”
About: I’ve grew up around German shepherds since I was 5 and I’ve always found to love just playing and taking care of them. I am good with taking care of dogs with high energy and even anxious dogs as well. Im very patient to each and every dogs needs and that not every dog needs the same care. My goal is when you see your dog again they feel happy, safe and loved while I’m caring for them I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can also provide care on weekdays, especially after 12 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I have a safe and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I have one older, friendly dog who is used to being around other animals. Since my yard isn’t fenced, I make sure pets are always supervised outside and safely leashed when needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and crate time if needed. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care.
“Chelsea has been such a wonderful addition to our regular schedule ! She is friendly, reliable, timely, and detail oriented. She promptly fills us in on any important happenings throughout her visits. Most importantly she takes such good care of our Sadie girl, and we are so thankful 🙂”
About: I've had cats for over 11 years and have been fostering for the past 7 months. Right now, my house is run by 5 resident cats and 5 foster cats. I just pay the mortgage. Between my own cats and fostering, I've learned that every cat comes with its own set of rules. Some want to be carried around like royalty. Some want you to admire them from six feet away. Some will scream for food as if they've never eaten a day in their lives. I'm comfortable with feeding, medications, litter box duty, playtime, and earning the trust of shy cats who prefer to pretend humans don't exist. I've cared for kittens, adults, seniors, and cats who needed a little extra patience while settling into a new situation. While you're away, I'll make sure your cat sticks to their routine, gets plenty of attention (if they want it), and has someone available to respond to any urgent meowing regarding an empty food bowl that is clearly still half full. I'll also send updates and photos, because I know you'll miss them. Your cat probably won't admit to missing you, but we'll keep that between us. 'm a stay-at-home parent and work part-time in the evenings, so I'm available during the day for pet visits and check-ins. Animal care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently have 5 resident cats and 5 foster cats, so feeding, cleaning, medications, and keeping up with different personalities is just part of everyday life. My schedule is flexible, and I'm used to planning my day around the needs of animals. I follow the pet's normal routine as closely as possible. During visits, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are cleaned, and pets get whatever attention they enjoy—whether that's playtime, brushing, treats, or simply having someone sit with them for a while. I'm comfortable giving oral medications if needed and always keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or litter box habits. As a cat owner and foster, I know that every cat is different. Some greet you at the door, and some prefer to supervise from across the room. I'm happy to go at their pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I also send updates and photos after visits so owners know how their pets are doing.
About: I have spent my entire life growing up with numerous and varied pets, which has given me experience with different animals and their needs. I would love to care for your pet—any breed, size, or personality! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to discuss scheduling a time that works for you! Please reach out, so we can discuss your needs. I will clarify with you if there are any specific needs or routines that would be followed for your pet. Typically, I would enter and greet your pet (whether with pets or from afar), feed them per instructions, and give them fresh water. For dogs, we will head outside for a walk or exercise in the backyard, and for cats, I would clean their litter box and then play or relax with them. Whether it is a drop-in, overnight stay, or walk, I will make sure your doors and gates are locked!
About: I will match the energy of any pet, I will follow their routine, or help establish one! Count on me to keep your pet safe! I have two doggos at home so of course I have my daily routine of keeping them fed, walked, and most importantly…loved! Properly trained too! Making note of allergies, concerns, and noticing the uncomfortable situations the pet may be in or need help with. Establishing diets and exercise for them.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shelly
Jax was amazing with our 2 reserved kitties! She was so patient with them, gave us daily reports and sweet pics, too! Jax was very thorough with their feeding and care, and that was very reassuring. By the middle of our trip, our very shy male cat was following Jax downstairs for breakfast, her new best buddy! That was a first for any sitter we have tried! Kudos to Jax, and we highly recommend her for excellent care and kindness to our pets!👍👍😽🐱

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 2,086 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shelly. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shelly. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
