“Becky was absolutely fantastic with my cat, Captain. She took excellent care of him while I was away and gave me many photos while I missed him. Could not speak higher of her”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time healthcare worker and college student with a lifelong love for animals. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior pets and those who need medication or extra attention. Whether your pet wants to play, go for a walk, or just relax with a new friend, I’ll make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time in healthcare during the day, which has helped me become responsible, dependable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I’m available most evenings after 5:00 PM and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and companionship. I treat my pets like family. They have automatic feeders and water fountains, clean litter boxes, regular grooming, quality food, and plenty of love and attention. I stay on top of their health, routines, and any special needs to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and comfortable every day. 🐾❤️
“Kasandra was great! She checked on our cat while we were out of town and it made leaving him so much easier knowing he was in good hands. We will be booking with her again!”
“Sara was great. Her communication was excellent and the pictures were nice to get. It’s always nice to have someone reliable to take care of your animals! Definitely recommend and will be reaching out again!”
“Reactive dog owners rejoice! Nina was so amazing and patient with our reactive boy, Murph. He takes a little bit to warm up to people and is dog/stranger reactive, so I needed someone who has experience with that. She is very patient and respectful of Murph’s boundaries. She’s really good at reading dog behavior and has training experience too! I am so thankful for Nina and look forward to booking her again!”
“Sydney did awesome with my kit-kat! My cat is normally pretty shy but she warmed up to Sydney really quickly. Great updates each day and lots of cute photos! I’ll definitely reach out to Sydney again next time I need a sitter 😊”
“Chentel came highly recommended by a good friend of mine and I see why! She goes above and beyond to ensure my fur baby is happy and content. She is extremely communicative and keeps me in the loop. My pup can be challenging at times, but Chentel has been so patient with her. It is evident that she has had a LOT of experience with animals. She has a great energy about her and it’s so comforting to know my dog is safe with her!”
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
About: I have taken care of pets all my life. Family, friends, and colleagues. I love to serve all those around me and help to make their lives simpler and less stressful I am a graduate physical therapy student at Messiah University with a predictable class schedule. I am available most mornings, evenings, and lunchtime hours for dog walks or quick let out visits so your dog can get outside and stay comfortable. My current housing does not allow me to keep pets in my own home. However, I am available for overnight stays in your home to provide consistent care and support for your dog in their familiar environment.
About: I love animals and have a degree in wildlife biology. We had a special needs German shepherd for nine years until her passing several years ago. As a mom of four children who are in school during the day, I have a consistent and flexible daytime schedule that allows me to focus on pet care. I genuinely look forward to spending that time caring for animals—whether that’s going on walks, providing companionship, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their routine. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I’m able to give dogs and cats my full attention while my kids are at school. I provide reliable drop-in visits to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay relaxed in their familiar environment. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or tidy up any messes, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I also spend quality time with your pets based on their needs—whether that’s playing with energetic dogs, offering gentle companionship to shy cats, or giving calm affection and attention. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets individual care and attention. I pay close attention to their behavior and routine so I can notice anything out of the ordinary and ensure they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I enjoy connecting with animals and creating a safe and secure environment for them. I look forward to inviting new dogs into our home and having our teenage daughter help care for them. Additionally our dog Raven is ready to have some playmates- she has a lot of energy but is gentle with small pups! We have a fenced yard with lots of space to run! I have been around dogs of all sizes since I was young and have taken care of family members’ and neighbors’ pets for years. I want to make sure that when we meet your dog he/she feels comfortable enough with Raven and us, so we will request a visit prior to your time away. Spending time outdoors is very important to me and I believe it is for kids and pets too! We look forward to opening our home and hearts to meeting you and your pup! My husband and I are home on the weekends so we will have plenty of time to spoil your pup! Also our daughter will be home to provide lots of TLC! We typically get home from work on weekdays around 4pm. Pets are allowed on our furniture and can sleep in our room with Raven. We will give them lots of attention, daily walks and playtime.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shepherdstown on Rover is $23 per visit (as of September 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 .

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.

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.
