“Auden has been helping us weekly with our new pup. She follows our directions exactly and does a great job with our golden. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to take care of your pet.”
“Kat is just awesome! She is so careful and thorough and went out of her way to make sure our cat felt cared for and loved while we were gone. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“We always use Becky to take care of our 4 cats when we go away. She is affectionate to our cats, punctual, and detail-oriented. She splits up canned food and adds supplements and puts up with us and our entire page of directions. Thanks, Becky!”
“Jax was really great to have check in on our cats each day. She was really service oriented from the start of our contact, was always on time, and was super nice in my interactions with her. She even left a little gift for our cats! Highly recommend.”
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 when I can. I am available anytime after 1pm Mon-We’d And available all day on the weekends. I am flexible as my schedule during the week changes. 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.
“Lauren did an amazing job watching our two dogs, including our senior dog who needs a gentler approach. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated the entire time, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We’re extremely happy with her service and would absolutely trust her with our pups again! We highly recommend Lauren!”
“Suzanne is the best. She made sure our untrusting dogs got to love her. She kept us updated and made sure they got what they needed and took care of them. I recommend her highly and would love having her watch them again. She made us comfortable knowing they were safe and well taken care of.”
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!
“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!”
“We are so happy to have found Kaylyn to care for our pup during our vacation. She got along fabulously with our anxious girl and put all of our minds at ease. We will absolutely use Kaylyn again and would highly recommend her.”
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of my elderly dog. She is very kind person and a good communicator while I was away. Always let me know how things were going each visit along with pics. I will use her in the future again!”
“Juliette took care of our cat Bella while we were away and did a super job!!! She followed our directions in feeding Bella and making sure the litter box stayed clean each day. She also took good care of a fish we have. Juliette updated us each day on how Bella was doing. She would have also sent us pictures, but Bella is a very shy skittish cat and is very afraid of strangers. Everyday Bella was in hiding mode when Juliette was around. Juliette also went out of her way to help us with our mail at one point. She is a very capable pet sitter, and we feel completely comfortable in having her take care of Bella. We will definitely ask her to pet sit Bella again in the future!”
“Angelina took should good care of our very nervous dog when we were gone. She sent pictures and detailed updates and communicated with us about everything and put us at ease. She is the best!”
“Alexandra is accommodating and reliable. I love how aware she was of my newish 4YO shelter dog needs: potty break, interactive toys and ending with snuggles on the couch. With her updates and pictures I know my pup enjoyed her visit. Highly recommend 😊”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a total of 5 years. I volunteered at an animal shelter to take care of cats, and worked for a few months taking care of dogs. I have also dog sat for friends when they went away and didn't have any issues. I have 2 dogs, one I got in January 2022 (chapo) and the other (pablo) in March 2022. Mr. Chapo was a rescue from the spca and we have had Mr. Pablo since he was 3 months old. Chapo is an American staffordshire and is 7.5 years old and pablo is 3.5 years old. I want everyone to be aware that I work full time and can be available in the mornings Sunday-Wednesday’s. I am free all day every other Wednesday. I am available all day Thursday-Saturday. I am more than happy to dog sit overnight/in the morning before i go to work. I will work with you so we can make sure your little one (or big one) is cared for! I am available on most weekends. Holidays may differ depending on my schedule. I let Chapo out when I get home and let him roam around outside because he just sleeps most of the day. When I am not home he is inside. Pablo is in his crate when I am at work. He likes going outside but not a huge fan. I will care for your pet however you would like since its your fur baby!
About: I lived with animals, all my life I have three kitty cats now, and I had labradors when I was kid. My grandfather had some Dobermans when I was little and I’ve been around great Danes as well.. I have walked three huskies with my son who has high functioning autism, and is my helper with a lot of my jobs we do it together. We’d love to take care and love animals I am highly focused on creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. When I watch pets, we typically spend our time doing activities,, outdoor play. I have a flexible schedule, and I’m willing to work around mine and your schedules I will work during the week and weekends as well I would take very good care of your pet inside your home and if you have a list and concerns for your pet, I will be able to willing to work on that for your pet.. Inside my home would be the same way and have a comfortable playtime with my family
About: In addition to dog-sitting, I am available for house-sitting! If you don’t want to take time off from work to be home for a repair person’s visit or something similar, I work remotely and am happy to be there. I’ve been dog and house sitting periodically for seven years. I am patient with dogs and love them deeply. I can drive or walk them to parks or other places. I’ve worked with dogs from four-month-olds to 13-year-olds. I love house-sitting, dropping by and checking on pets, and walking dogs! I’ve worked with large, medium, and small dogs. I am thorough and detail-oriented. I am also organized and communicative. I have worked with dogs of different temperaments and breeds and love them all! I’m usually available most weekends and in the mornings and late afternoon/evenings during the week. I work remotely, so I can stay over or do drop-ins as requested! I take care of one family’s pups 2-3 times per week during the school year, but I can be flexible. I usually stay at my client’s home so their pets can stay where they’re comfortable! I ask for normal routines from my clients so I can follow those as much as possible.

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 July 2026, there are 2,089 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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
