“Alison was fantastic. We have two very anxious cats and even they seemed to warm up to her! She even handled the bossing around from our non-anxious boy. Our babies were very well cared for and her updates are so cute and funny! Will definitely use again for our large fur family!”
“Kaitlin was great! She agreed to watch my cats for three days even with Freya being a little under the weather, which I really appreciated. She followed their feeding schedule, was so kind and caring with them, and kept me updated while I was away. I especially loved that she asked me to let her know how Freya is doing after I got home—it really showed that she genuinely cared about her. I felt really comfortable having my cats in her care and would definitely book with her again!”
About: I come from a major animal loving family & have been surrounded by many different types of animals as far back as I can remember! I'm surprised it took me so long to make it into a profession, but I've been caring for other peoples' pets & homes for about 10 years now. My schedule is currently very flexible & I am often open to travel a ways from home for longer sits. I have my own cat, Frank, who is fairly aloof & quite understanding when I come home smelling like other animals. 😹 My current home is not suitable for having extra pets in it, so getting to sit in YOUR home is great for all parties involved - I get my cute animal fix, you get peace of mind that your pets & home are safe & well looked after, & your pets don't have too much disruption to their daily routine so they're less stressed while you're away!
“LeighAnn took very good care of my 2 babies, she is friendly and communicates frequently and when I came home my dogs were relaxed and happy. Would recommend her and will be using her services from now on. She’s great!”
About: I have always had pets growing up still have some! I love animals with a passion. You can trust me to treat your pet like it’s my own! I have taken a break from work because I want to focus on starting a family so I will be doing some rover jobs on the side. I currently live in a house with a big back yard I am willing to watch 1 dog at my house because I do have 4 other dogs that live with me.
“He was an amazing pet sitter! went and checked on my babies as much as we asked and made sure they were taken care of while we were out of town! would definitely use his help again!”
“Amina is a wonderful sitter! She is very communicative and takes great pictures. She took excellent care of my 18 year old cat who is on medication. Amina also got our mail and watered the garden. We came home to find a happy cat. 😊🐈”
About: I have had dogs my entire life ever since i was born. i treat my own 3 as if they are my actual babies (i mean they are!) I am so excited to be taking care of your baby soon. I am home from school around 3:30 an can get to you pretty quick. I always take my rowdy little lady to the park every friday evening when possible and we even get little snacks on the way home. feed them on schedule, provide fresh water, give exercise and playtime, clean up after them, and offer comfort and attention. Always follow the client’s specific instructions.
“Kelly did a great job sitting with our 5 big dogs. She came twice a day and loved on them, fed them & let them play. We rarely go anywhere because of our dogs but now we know we can as long as Kelly is available! Thank you Kelly!”
“Provided care to Mocha last minute when I had an issue with the previous sitter. She took really good care of my baby took her out for walks and make sure that she ate. I recommend her!”
About: I have worked with dogs for 6 years, I own two dogs as well. A German Shepherd/Belgian Maliniois named Dex he is 5 years old and he has so much energy but is the biggest friendly fur ball. I also have a Cavachon named Dakota, he is 3 years old and he a couch potato inside and a dare devil outside. I work at a doggy daycare currently so I’ve worked with various breeds and I understand that you can not judge a dog based on breed. I also worked with temperaments and personality as well, I can manage the behaviors if walks are taking. I’m also in vet tech school so I’m currently learning more about dogs such as health issues and signs. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide your furry family members with attentive, loving care throughout the day. Your pets will be closely monitored and cared for 24/7 in a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home for every pup in my care. Crates are only used for feeding if needed, and the rest of the time your furry friend is free to roam and relax. My home also has security cameras for added peace of mind. Your pup will enjoy walks, plenty of attention, and lots of love while they’re with me. I respect each pups routine and personality, and fresh water is always available to keep them happy and comfortable.
About: I have five dogs of my own, from a 14-year old senior with daily med needs down to a 4-year old energetic husky. I am a lover of all cats and dogs and have always practiced being nurturing towards all kinds of our Texas critters. I’m a very transparent, honest and communicative person and look forward to meeting your pets! I’m currently working part-time and can fit weekly needs very flexibly! Feel free to reach out to coordinate routine times for your pets! I am open to accommodating all pets’ needs such as medication, being crated, being fed specific food etc. I will take them out or walk them as requested and needed. Safety will always remain my first priority for all.
About: Due to my bubbly personality, I believe I can show your pets lots of love to avoid that separation anxiety from y’all being gone. I give my 100 in everything I do no matter what I do. I’m also very flexible with understanding how life events may pop up so cancelations don’t bother me. I believe showing love and compassion is the key to helping people feel accepted and understood, same thing with animals. I don’t think anyone should feel alone so I’m always that girl seeking to help someone in need. If you like my services, I won’t mind keeping in touch for future pet-sitting. Also, friendships are always welcomed in my life. I love meeting new faces and enjoying new company. If you have questions, please don’t hesistate to ask. I want to provide the best care for your pet, your home, and you. Leaving your animal behind is very stressful and can be sad. The last thing you want is to worry about is your pet while you’re away. I am medically retired from the Air Force. I do not work so I have all the time in the world. :) I just moved to Livingston, Texas! I haven’t worked with Rover since 2021-2022 when I lived in Florida but I decided I needed some form of a schedule so here I am. If your dog likes running I have a leash that I can take them running. If they like chasing a ball, I can bring my ball thrower and make sure they get lots of exercise. I can accommodate to anything! Communication is the key to make a great experience :)
About: ever since i can remember i always took care of any animal that was brought to me. i am currently in a vet tech school and have worked at a doggie daycare for almost 2 years now, so i have plenty of experience with all kinds of animals. im currently attending vet tech school so early check ins would be around 5 am. Second check in would be right as i get out of classes which would be around 3 pm. Third would be any time after that, i can always make time :) i currently have three cats and they have their own area set up with lots of enrichment and are on a feeding schedule. since i have lots of experience with kenneling dogs and reactive animals i can gladly take any instructions needed/given to me.
About: Anyone can watch a pet. I build trust. For over 20 years, I've dedicated my life to understanding animal behavior—not just checking off a to-do list. From dogs and cats to birds, rabbits, reptiles, fish, guinea pigs, farm animals, seniors, puppies, and pets with medical needs, every animal receives patient, personalized, five-star care. Because the best pet care isn't just about showing up—it's about making them feel safe, understood, and genuinely loved. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, personalized care when your pets need it most. I plan my days around each pet's routine, and for homes or pets requiring one-on-one attention, I have dependable childcare arranged so every visit receives my full focus and care. Your pet will be treated like family with personalized care, plenty of love, enrichment, playtime, walks, cuddles (if they choose!), and daily photo updates. My goal is to create a safe, low-stress environment where they feel happy, secure, and loved.
About: I have years of personal experience caring for dogs. I had my Shih Tzu for 15 years, which gave me experience caring for a dog through every stage of life, from puppyhood to their senior years. I also recently welcomed a Maltipoo puppy into my family, so I’m familiar with the extra attention, patience, playtime, and routine that puppies need. I truly love dogs and will treat every pup in my care like they’re part of my own family. 🐾💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give each dog plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love and attention. Since I have a puppy of my own, caring for dogs is already a part of my everyday routine! I live in a comfortable townhome with a backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and playtime. 🐾 I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I follow each owner’s feeding, walking, and potty schedule as closely as possible and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I also have a friendly Maltipoo puppy of my own, so your pup may have a companion to play with! I’m happy to accommodate each dog’s individual routine and needs to help them feel right at home. ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shepherd on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
