“Earlier this year Elizabeth would do once a day drop in visits for our cat. But now my cat is newly diabetic and needs shots twice daily which complicates going out of town more! Having Elizabeth regularly checking on my cat and doing the shots is so helpful. I appreciate it so much!”


About: I have 9 years of experience caring for animals and have worked at two boarding kennels for over 3 years. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning, giving attention, and keeping pets safe and comfortable. I work part-time, but I have a flexible schedule and can make time for pet care. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding depending on my work schedule. I graduate in December so my schedule will free up even more! I have over 3 years of professional experience working at boarding kennels, so I understand how important safety and supervision are. I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable environment and treat every pet with care and patience. I unfortunately cant really have pets over at my house due to having a reactive dog and a bird
“We had such a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She was absolutely amazing with our elderly cat and took such thoughtful, loving care of her while we were away. She was incredibly kind, caring, and patient, and it was obvious that she genuinely cared about our cat and wanted her to feel comfortable and loved. Knowing our cat was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond to make sure she was well cared for, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and wonderful with pets!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. I love dogs of all sizes. A lot of my clients I dog sit for reply on me for letting their dogs out, playing with them, giving them lots of love and treats - of course, and taking them on walks I’m currently working part time so I will have time to let your dogs out and feed them. My work schedule is also super flexible. I like to follow instructions given to me by the owner(s). Whatever you would like to happen, I’m open to. If you prefer for me to crate your dogs when I leave, I can. If you prefer for them to free roam, I can also do that.
“This was my first experience using Rover. Nicole was a great choice! She was responsive to inquiries to begin with and continued communication. The meet and greet went well; we found some commonalities beyond a love of animals. She understood my cat's specific needs and idiosyncrasies. I felt very comfortable leaving him in Nicole's care. I received photos and even videos every day. I heartily recommend Nicole as a dedicated and responsible sitter!”

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have completed multiple dog training courses with dogs my family and I have owned. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, reactive dogs, and animals who may need a little extra patience or guidance. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. As a nurse, I'm detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions. I can help with walks, runs, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention! My schedule is flexible while I pursue my next nursing position, allowing me to dedicate time and attention to your pets. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry family members and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands! I recently moved back home from Colorado and am taking a little time to recharge before starting my next nursing chapter! I've been a nurse for five years and love caring for others, but I've always had a special soft spot for animals. I'm excited to spend some extra time caring for furry friends and giving them plenty of love and attention. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm available most days for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following all instructions provided by their owners. I know pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to get to know their individual personalities, needs, and preferences. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of affection and companionship. I will always treat your home with respect and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands!
“Jenna has been such a lifesaver! She takes great care of her pup clientele. 10/10 would recommend her! I was always sent an update, and plenty of pictures of the dogs getting some fresh air mid-day.”

“Kyla is so contentious - she kept me posted when her schedule altered from our requested times. I appreciate her great communication. I will certainly use her again in the future.”

About: Hello! My name is Erin and I'm excited to offer exceptional pet sitting services. What sets me apart from other sitters is my unique combination of skills and experience: As a nurse, I have a deep understanding of health and wellness, and I bring this expertise to caring for your pets. I am attentive, compassionate, and skilled at handling any health-related concerns that may arise. My own dog is currently in training to be a therapy dog, which speaks to my commitment and capability in training and managing pets. This experience has equipped me with advanced techniques to ensure your pets are well-behaved and happy.

You can trust that your pets will receive attentive care, plenty of outdoor time, and a loving environment that feels just like home.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently care for two cats and a 13-year-old black lab, so I understand the different needs pets have at every stage of life. Caring for a senior dog has given me experience with daily medications, supplements, patience, and maintaining consistent routines to keep pets comfortable and happy. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and family, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I recently graduated from PA school and have a flexible summer schedule while preparing for my certification exam and pending licensure. This gives me plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I’m reliable, organized, and able to accommodate a variety of routines, whether that includes walks, drop-ins, feedings, or simply keeping pets company and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on schedule, and give them plenty of attention and comfort while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and make sure everything is secure so you can feel at ease knowing your pets and home are in good hands.
“Cali took such wonderful care of our cat, Pickles, while we were out of town. She was so communicative about any questions or concerns she had, and she left us detailed updates daily. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter!”

About: I have grown up my entire life around pets and animals of all varieties. Dogs, cats, Parakeets, and even hamsters.

I have walked dogs and have house sat for many years and am considered experienced with most forms of care and service to pets such as dogs and cats I work a full time job as a social studies educator where I teach seventh grade through 12th grade world, history and government classes. Teaching is my absolute passion and I love working with kids of all ages To help guide them towards helping them become better versions of themselves every single day!

My apartment is also smoke-free and is in a pet-friendly neighborhood with quiet streets and friendly neighbors.

“Shadae was so helpful and did amazing with my kitties! I have a cat who has diabetes and she was able to administer insulin and help with her dietary needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,209 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shepherd. 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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
