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!

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!

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: Hello! I’m Kas 🇦🇺 I’m an Australian living in Cleveland, Texas, and I specialize in-home house and companion pet care for families who value trusted presence, consistent routines, and complete peace of mind. Your pets remain relaxed in the comfort of their own home while enjoying the care of one consistent, reliable caregiver. Yes, I come with an Australian accent at no extra charge—your pets may not understand me, but they’ll probably feel like they’re on an episode of Bluey! 🐾 Every household is different, so I take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Whether your pets enjoy quiet companionship, regular walks, sun-time, playtime, medication support, or simply having someone nearby while you’re away, for whatever reason, I’ll tailor my care to help them and you feel secure and settled. Ideal for: • Dogs and cats who thrive in their own home • Pets who appreciate and seek regular human companionship • Multi-pet households • Owners traveling for business, medical care or vacation • Families who value one trusted caregiver caring for both their pets and their home. I intentionally accept a limited number of house-sitting bookings and generally care for one household at a time, allowing me to focus on maintaining your pet’s routine and providing attentive, personalised care. During your booking, your home can be my primary base. I like to bring my book, my laptop & handcrafts. While I may occasionally step out for appointments or errands, I aim to keep time away to a minimum and maintain your pet’s normal sleep, play, meal, nap routine as closely as possible. For overnight stays, morning and evening care, and extended daytime presence provide reassurance for both pets and owners. While you’re away, I’m also happy to assist with a few household tasks by prior arrangement, including: • Bringing bins in and out • Collecting mail and parcel deliveries • Watering indoor and outdoor plants • General home security checks/lights on or off to keep the home appearing occupied and reporting any concerns. I can cope with winter weather requirements and manage if some unexpected occurs such as a storm event, branch down in yard, wind damage (unfortunately I know now because I lived it). Clients describe me as calm, trustworthy, attentive, respectful, organized, and the sort of person who genuinely cares for a home as though it were my own. My goal is simple: for you to return home to happy, relaxed pets, looking forward to seeing you, a tidy and well-cared-for home, and the confidence that everything has been looked after while you were away. And if your dog welcomes you home barking with an Australian accent… well, I consider that a job exceptionally well done. I’d love to meet you—and your furry family members! Call me to arrange a meet and greet to check our compatibility. Pet care fits comfortably into my weekly routine, allowing me to provide attentive, personalised care in your pet’s own home. Because my schedule is flexible, I’m able to accommodate extended house-sitting bookings, overnight stays and care tailored to your pet’s normal routine. During house-sitting bookings, your home becomes my primary base, allowing your pets to enjoy familiar surroundings while receiving calm, consistent companionship. I intentionally accept a limited number of bookings so I can focus my attention on one household at a time and provide dependable, personalized care. I believe pets are happiest when they can remain in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, smells and routines. You’ll find me to be calm, attentive and respectful of both your pets and your home. I care for every household as though it were my own, taking time to learn each pet’s personality, routines and preferences. I particularly enjoy caring for companion dogs and cats who love being close to people, whether that’s sharing quiet company while I read, relaxing nearby while I work, or spending time outdoors together in the yard or on a walk. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, settled and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover since I was a little kid. I as well have a 8 year old mini poodle mix that I love and care for. I am currently not working but I previously worked for Houston 911 for 4 years and then began working at a Chiropractic clinic for 5 years. I am taking time for myself and traveling more. I have returned to Houston and have plenty of time to spend with both dogs and cats as it’s a passion of mines. I have a fenced house, front yard, and backyard for my fur babies Charlie and Ryder. They are very playful and love being around other dogs. I am also able to separate them in different areas of the houses if your fur babies do not like to be with other dogs.

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: 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.

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: 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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shepherd on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 163 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:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
