“Brittany was an awesome pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, while I was out of town for the week. She was great at keeping me up-to date on waffles and sent many pictures. I would definitely rebook in the future, as it seemed my cat was comfortable as she came out of her hiding spot many times, which is unusual for her with new people.”
“Super please with Allison’s care of my 3 adult, 1 kitten while I was away. Two of my cats required medication administration and she Rocked it!! Your pets are in great hands with Allison. Will definitely use next time!!”
“Rachel was amazing. Our three dogs were well taken care and we received frequent updates. She went above and beyond to not only care for the dogs but also in looking after the house during our trip.”
“We had an amazing experience with David! He took excellent care of Molly, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. He was kind, reliable, and attentive. We highly recommend him and would definitely book with him again! 🐶⭐”
“It was our first time booking Chentel and our first time ever booking a pet sitter. We felt very comfortable, leaving her with our boys. She was really great with the transition to meeting them and having us leave. We could tell she was very experienced with meeting new dogs. Will definitely book again!”
“Lori is incredible! She sends amazing pictures and updates! She is very flexible with her schedule as well! She doesn’t leave any mess for us to come home to which is so great! She truly cares about our little guy!”
“They did a fantastic job! Sowmya/Sunil were very communicative and very comfortable with my anxious dog. They took some time to meet him first and got a great introduction. Very comfortable with dogs. They went the extra mile as well and followed all the little training things we do before feeding and walking, and sent lots of photos of my dog during their visits. Would recommend to anyone looking for drop in visits in the area!”
About: I love all dogs regardless of how hyper or chilled out your pet is. As a student Athlete, I can completely match your dog's energy. I can ensure that you and your pet will look forward to booking with me again. I work in an office in midtown Manhattan from 9-5 Monday-Friday, besides that I'm generally available to give the rest of my evening to other things, considering I have no commitments for my internship outside the office. How I care for other pets completely depends on the animal I'm looking after. Making sure to reciprocate whatever the dog is showing is the priority in most cases.
“Christine is always a reliable and trustworthy sitter. She has taken care of my two cats several times over the last couple years, and I will continue to book with her whenever I am able!”
“Bayleigh did a great job watching my cats! She provided updates and plenty of photos and pictures each day. She spent time playing with them which I know they appreciated and she did everything I requested during her visit. Would definitely book her again!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been pet-sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since age 12. I have taken many dog training classes and understand dogs’ needs and body language. I am a therapist so I have a good understanding of behavioral principles and understand how to be patient while building trust. I require a meet and greet before confirming a booking so your dog is familiar with me/my house and we can ensure they get along with my dogs. I work from home full-time, and typically take a break every 3 hours, at which point the dogs are let out into the fenced-in backyard. I can walk dogs in the morning (around 8 or 9) and/or the evening (around 5 or 6). I have a fenced-in yard and two very friendly and easy-going dogs (50lbs and 75lbs). I am able to crate dogs if needed (you provide the crate) or separate dogs in different areas of the house if any dogs need a break from the others. As I view dogs as part of the family, they are allowed on furniture and beds and receive plenty of attention and snuggles.
“Kari was excellent with my 11yo diabetic cat! She was able to monitor his food intake and give him insulin shots when needed. When he didn't eat right away, she was able to hang around a little so the shot could be administered. I can't tell you how much I appreciated that! The daily pics were great too. Would definitely use her again.”

About: I've been petsitting since I was 13 years old, giving me over 20 years experience. Most of my experience comes from dogs & cats, but I'm happy to learn how to care for other pets, too. I'm currently working part-time, but I'm also a full-time mom to a seven year old, so part-time & weekend jobs work best for me right now. I care for our two senior dogs with the utmost care & respect as they are beloved members of our family. However, one of them does not always get along well with other dogs, so I will not be offering care in my home.
About: I am a stay at home mom so I am currently only weekends and select evenings. Thank you and know your pet will be in good hands 🤗 I am available most evenings anytime after 6 from Monday to Friday, and anytime most weekends. I have small children and if I am able to bring them with me I can be available more. I always keep my own dog on a leash or a line when outside. I will respect whatever the client sets as the standard for their own fur baby!
About: I am comfortable walking long distances with your dog and caring for multiple cats. I believe in cleanliness and a positive experience for your pets! Current healthcare professional ready to assist others when things get busy, available when needed the most. I believe in cleanliness in the home as well. I have one cat that is fed twice daily, brushed once a day, and litter cleaned each evening. He is a senior cat needing a sensitive diet.
About: Hello! I’m Natalie and I would love to be the sitter you choose for your pets! My experience ranges across all breeds of dogs from Pitties to Chihuahuas, cats, rabbits, rats, reptiles, fish and everything in between!. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at once and it is not a challenge for me. I am a professional veterinary assistant and have been practicing for over 5 years! I have been trained in giving injections like insulin and am able to medicate properly. I am also CPR & First Aid certified for dogs & cats. The treatment of an animal determines their personality and the way they view people. My goal is to make sure every animal is taken care of and treated the way I would treat my own and that is with the utmost affection and patience. I look forward to working with you and your four-legged, two-legged and no-legged friend(s)! Just reach out for specific costs not applicable to just dogs and cats! :) I have a part time job other than this, so all walks and drop in visits will have to be scheduled around that. However, I look forward to fitting your pets into my schedule! I will always care for a client’s pet(s) as if they were my own. Any exercise and playtime needed I can offer. As a veterinary assistant, I understand how important it is for your pets to have a great vacation, just like you may be!
“Amanda visited my cats 2x a day. They were well fed and played with. Would recommend to anyone looking for help with their cats while on vacation. She also went up and beyond by watering plants and bringing mail inside.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I’ve taken care of my families, friends, neighbors. I’ve bathed them, fed them, taken them out, and more. I used to work at a dog boarding and doggie day care. I am very flexible and can work around any schedule and pets schedules. I like to make sure pets in my care are comfortable by sticking to a schedule. I have a big yard for my dog to play in. My dog is a big love bug, who just wants to play. Usually I take care of my family’s dogs at their houses which have fenced in areas.

Rachel was really great to work with, She was very thoughtful and even though my cats tend to be a little skittish she was able to interact with them very well. She took care of everything exactly as I asked and was always 100% on time for her visits. I really appreciate her time and attentiveness. I would definitely recommend her to others as well as ask for her services again for our next trip.
Katelyn was wonderful with our puppy during two drop ins! She sent us pictures and kept us informed and updated on our dog! She even was nice enough to clean up an accident he had! She was very easy to work with and communicate with! Thank you Katelyn and we will be having you watch our puppy again!
Dana was great with my animals. She came over to meet them prior to the visit and was so good with them all, including the cats. She played with our dog and he liked her. She was prompt for walking him and later checked in to see if he needed another walk before we got home. I will definitely be using her again to care for my fur babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shepherdstown is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $20 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,553 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shepherdstown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shepherdstown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
