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!

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!

About: I grew up around animals my entire life and I’ve watched over family friends and friends animals as well. I absolutely love animals and now I personally have 4 dogs. Whether they’re high energy or a couch potato every animal deserves to be loved and their boundaries respected! My work as an EMT only has me working 2 days out of the week so I’ve got a good bit of free time! Being able to work around those 2 days is really easy. On my off days I’d be able to check on your animals 2-3 times a day! I love walking as well, it clears my mind, so the more walks your dogs need the better for us both! While I don’t offer to take any pets into my own home due to my own pets, I am willing to come see your fur babies. I was raised to always respect someone’s home and privacy. Your animals will be well taken care of at all times in my presence with respect to your rules and guidelines.

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!

Maureen blessed us by house sitting our Apollo for a week while we were out of town. He was well taken care of and excited to see us when we got home. Maureen sent photos and text updates every couple of days which was phenomenal because we got to immerse ourselves in vacation without a worry and get the peace of mind about our fur baby. I will definitely be using Maureen again and you should book her too.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life — not just cats and dogs, but ducks, goats, pigs, and more! That experience taught me how every animal has its own personality and needs. I’m patient, observant, and I pay attention to the small things that keep pets happy and calm. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a shy cat, I meet them where they are and make their comfort my top priority. My job is very flexible, so I’m able to fit pet care into my day with ease. I’ll always make time to check in, play, and give your pet the attention they need — no rushing, just genuine care and consistency. When I’m caring for your pet, I do everything I can to make them feel at home — whether that’s in your space or mine. I stick closely to their normal routine so they stay comfortable and relaxed. I make sure they’re fed, played with, and loved on, and I always keep things clean and cozy. My yard is currently unfenced, but any outdoor time will always be closely supervised to ensure their safety. I also send regular photo and text updates so you never have to wonder how your pet’s doing — they’ll be in loving, dependable hands the whole time.

About: I have been taking care of animals since elementary school. Raising puppys from birth and caring for seniors during their final days. I have learned the ins and outs of grooming, cleaning, feeding, and basic training. I've delt with the pickiest of animals, and the most relaxed. When it comes to keeping animals calm and happy, I am the sitter for you. Whether your animal has aggression with others, or is incredibly anxious, I'll create an environment specifically to accommodate them. As I already have animals in my home, pet care is my every day life. Walks occur multiple times a day, and my boyfriend will take them out for more enriching play outdoors. I'm with the animals full time, which means any animals in my care will have my full attention. In my own home, I have multiple grassed areas for potty time, as well as a dog park for enrichment. I have a separate room for animals who need it, where they can have a calming time away from my own animals if needed. Of which being a service dog and a friendly cat. In a client's home, I make sure to take care of the pet to the best of my ability, taking them out as frequently as asked, but also giving them some play time for enrichment when I'm there. I follow things to the letter, so any special requests will be followed to the T to make sure your pet is happy and healthy.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since 8th grade (8 years). I've worked with young adult and senior dogs. I am able to take care many task the owners left me to do. Currently, I am an online student at Oregon State University. With that I am able to have a very flexible schedule. I also work at a restaurant as a hostess. For dog sitting at clients homes, I'm usually fulfilling all expectations given by the pet owner. I am not scared of cleaning and picking up poop. I'm an avid walker, so I would enjoy walking your pet! I love all animals! And I'm very excited to meet y'all!

About: I completely understand the importance of reliable evening care. Right now, I’m available in the mornings or after 6:30 p.m., and I know that may not fully line up with what you need. I’ve had a lot of experience caring for pets and homes — I raised a dog from puppyhood through its senior years, have a cat I’ve raised from a kitten for the past two years, and I’ve house-sat many times, including a three-month long position. I’m very dependable and attentive, and I’d be glad to help if your needs ever shift to fit my availability. As I have a fur baby myself I understand the need of wanting a good sitter I work part time in the evenings from 2-6:30 and Sunday mornings busy but other than that I am free all day. Thank you for considering me. I try to stick to what the owner wants/does routinely. If no clear instructions are given will ask or do what I would for my animal done

About: Growing up in La Cañada Flintridge, my love for animals has been an integral part of my life since childhood. Dogs have always gravitated towards me, making it clear that caring for animals comes naturally to me. I believe dogs are truly a gift from above, sent to bring joy and laughter into our lives. Huntington Dog Beach is my happy place, where I can connect with these wonderful creatures and witness the pure happiness they bring. As a dedicated medical professional with over 25 years of experience in La Cañada Flintridge, I understand the importance of compassion and care. My my schedule is open. I dream of one day having a dog ranch where all furry friends are welcome, providing love and safety for those in need. With a genuine connection to animals that rivals human relationships, I'm excited to share my love and care with your beloved pets. Currently my schedule is open for pet care. I am able to care for pets during the day but I also can do overnights as well. I believe it’s most beneficial for your beloved pets to remain in their environment of their homes so that they can feel safe and secure.

Amina was so sweet with me and my bunny, Frosty! She communicated constantly and I was so thankful for that. She stayed and played with him and gave him so much attention even though he is usually a shy bunny. She sent me so many great pictures too! She made me feel that my bunny was safe and in great hands. Will definitely re-book next time we are out of town :)

About: I love and appreciate animals from all walks of life, and I prioritize their well-being. I am lucky to have adopted a Shepsky, and I know how important adventures are for him, and I'm here to provide the best care and attention for your animals. Pet care is essential, and I am always readily available. I dedicate time each day to provide consistent walks, feedings, and companionship. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs. My goal is to make sure every dog or cat feels cared for, exercised, and comfortable on a reliable routine. I create a safe and loving environment by following each pet’s normal routine and respecting their comfort levels. In my home or a client’s, I make sure food, water, and spaces are secure. I’m attentive to details like gates, leashes, and medications. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so owners always feel confident their pets are in good hands. Safety and trust come first, and I treat every animal as if they were my own.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Shepherd

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 165 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 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 Shepherd. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
