“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.”
“Guinevere was fantastic! Great communication, with pictures of my boy playing and being cuddled just like I'd have done. I was worried because I had never left my cat before. Guinevere made sure that she took care of him just as I would and when I got home, my cat was a happy boy! If you're looking for a pet sitter who cares for your fur babies just as you would, Guinevere is the one!”
“It always stinks leaving my pets alone, but with Suzanne I know that they are being well cared for. She’s super attentive and takes great care of the animals under her watch. Five stars as always!”
“Becky was patient, compassionate and kind to our senior girl. She even put up with this first time cat Mom! Love the Rover Card that gives updates and pics! I will definitely have Becky assist in the future. Highly recommend Becky!!”
“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.”
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 have taken care of animals ever since I was about 16 or 17 years old, and I love it! I have taken care of dogs anywhere from puppies to senior dogs. I am working part time as a nanny, so I have lots of free time to hang out with your pups and kitties! I also have plenty of time for walks and play time! I will make sure that I follow any safety concerns that the owners have, whether it’s a fence, taking the dogs out on a leash, or even using things like gentle leaders on walks.
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.
“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!”
“I have 2 dogs that aren't the most playful, but that doesn't stop Kaylyn from trying to get them up, moving and engaged when she comes to visit. We appreciate this on days when they are alone in the house all day!”
“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: Hello! I am an expert dog walker and I also offer check-ins for your pup! I have had a dog in my home since I could crawl and have always loved animals of any age, size and shape! I am a compassionate nurse who wants to earn a little extra money doing something I love and spending time meeting new dogs too! I would love to come meet your pup and walk them around your neighborhood anytime. I will love your pets like my own and I promise we will have a great time no matter what! I can’t wait! I currently work 3 12 hour shifts as a nurse and have 4 days off during the week, so I have plenty of free time! I will walk the pets in your neighborhood or check in on them when needed, but cannot board unfortunately! I will treat your pets like my own and ensure they have everything they need!
About: I have been working with dogs and cats since 2018. I began by working at a grooming/doggy daycare center. Here I learned to watch for aggressive behavior, how to deal with aggressiveness, giving oral medicine, bathing, caring for senior dogs, helping dogs socialize, learning puppy behavior and correcting, and so on. I loved working here because my family pet was unfortunately a victim of an aggressive groomer and I wanted to make sure that everyone knew I would not allow anything to happen to their pets if I can help it. I moved to NC where I continued to work with pets part time, mostly doing overnight stays. I have recently moved to PA and would love to continue to do this part time! I am not employed at the moment as I just moved to PA. I am looking for a pt job and looking to start school but at the moment I don’t have many things that keep me busy. Working at the grooming facility has taught me a lot about being cautious of animal behavior whether that’s from across the street or the pet in holding on a leash. During playtime we never had a big fight and have thankfully been able to stop anything from progressing into something dangerous.
“Juliette treated my cats with as much love and attention as if they were her own. Lilly, Stella, and Bean seemed very happy in each picture and video Juliette sent me while I was on vacation. She even cleaned up the tracked litter from around the boxes!!! I will certainly be asking for her the next time I go out of town. Thank you SO much, Juliette!!”
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 August 2026, there are 2,085 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.
