“Tabatha did two check-ins for our Frenchie while we were down the shore and took great care of her. She handled potty breaks and meds with no issues, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Hailey was so great at caring for Sam! I really appreciated her help with him. I was so relieved that Sam was in such good hands. I would love to book her for services again!”
About: Pets have always been a part of my family and your pets will be no different. The well-being of your pet is something I take seriously. Professionally I’ve walked a boxer who was less than a year old for 3-4 months. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs for a couple of years. I do have a full time job, but it ends fairly early so anytime 3:30 or after will work great! There will be a few days that I can do mornings but that will be updated as I get that information. I’ll make sure your dog will get their energy out in a fun and safe way! We’ll go to the park or around the neighborhood for a walk. If you have toys your dog likes to play with outside I would be happy to incorporate that.
“This was our second booking with Rachael and we could not be happier! She goes above and beyond every time and we leave knowing our babies are being well cared for and loved.”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who loves working with both dogs and cats. I have experience with dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to large, high-energy pups—as well as both trained and untrained dogs. I’m patient, adaptable, and comfortable handling different personalities, whether your dog needs structure, extra guidance, or just a fun, active walk. I also have a soft spot for cats and understand that each one has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable while keeping their routine consistent. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and energy level to make sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for. I’m dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and lots of care! 🐾 As a full-time teacher, I bring consistency, responsibility, and care into everything I do—including pet care! During the school year, I’m available for before-school walks and afternoon/evening visits, typically after 4:30 PM. I love starting or ending a pet’s day with exercise, attention, and routine, so they feel happy and cared for while you’re busy. My schedule is reliable, and I always communicate clearly so you know your pet is in good hands. With summer right around the corner, my availability will be opening up significantly! I’ll be able to offer more flexible scheduling, additional walks, drop-ins, and extended pet sitting services. Whether it’s a quick morning walk, an after-school visit, or more frequent care in the summer, I’m here to help keep your pets happy, active, and well cared for! 🐾 ⸻ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I provide in-home pet sitting and walks so your pet can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment while you’re away. Being in their own home helps pets feel secure, and I work hard to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’m dependable, respectful of your space, and committed to building trust with both you and your pet. I follow all care instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walk routines, or special preferences. I also prioritize safety on every walk by staying alert, using secure handling, and adapting to your pet’s needs and behavior. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every home with care and every pet like family, creating a calm, safe, and positive experience from start to finish.
About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life, but started taking care of dogs around the time I was 12 and moreso with cats around 13. We adopted a dog when I was 12 and I fed her, walked her, bathed her, taught her tricks, played with her, we'd even cuddle! We fostered a dog from a hoarder and had another dog after the loss of the last one and I continued to repeat the cycle with this big crazy whippersnapper! Where I was working part-time just closed for the season, so I have plenty of free time for playing with your pups and kitties!!! When I'm not in school, I'll be taking care of my pets and helping my mom out with them around the house, she does Rover too and recommended I get on it. For drop ins, I like to meet the pet first and learn about their likes and dislikes and where to find all of their things. I like to ask questions on how to make sure they feel most comfortable with a new person and try to follow that advice to make sure they feel their best. For walks, I like to get an idea of where they like to walk and any behaviors I can expect while walking them before we head out on our adventure!
“We've been so lucky to have found Brenna! Our fur babies genuinely light up when they see her, which tells us everything we need to know. It's such a relief to leave our pets in the hands of someone we truly trust — she treats them so special. If you're searching for someone special to care for your furry family members, we couldn't recommend Brenna more wholeheartedly. She's truly one of a kind! 🐾”
“Amanda was wonderful! My cat took to her immediately, which is unusual because he is usually very shy! I was so appreciative of all of the pictures and updates! I’m so grateful and I highly recommend!”
“Right from the initial meet and greet through to the very end, Lisa was great to work with and we knew our pets and home were in good hands! She went above and beyond leaving us a nice welcome home note and our back porch light on. Lisa will be our first choice for any future needs, highly recommend!”
“Theresa was absolutely the best with my dog Sissy. She had great communication, was timely, and an absolute blessing to find for Sissy. Thank you so much! We will be booking again for sure!”
About: I’ve taking care of many animals for the past 4 to 5 years including family and friends. I can handle any size, age, and breed. I currently am not working and have the whole morning, afternoon, and night to take care of your animal(s). As well my weekends are free! Your dogs safety is my main priority. When on walks I will be cautious of other animals, make sure the right equipment that is provided is used when walking your animal, and keep your pup in a safe and clean environment. When I drop in I will make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable, make sure your pup eats, drinks water, goes out, and gets treats, and everything is cleaned and locked up before leaving your pup and home.
“It is wonderful to have David take care of kitty drop ins for our 2 fur babies again. We are grateful to have a trustworthy and reliable person to care for Carly and Augie when we are away.”
“Melissa did a great job for our family looking after our pup. She was available with very little notice and made sure she sent pictures. Communication was excellent. You can’t go wrong with reaching out to Melissa if you need someone to watch your pet. Thanks again!!!”
“Timothy came twice and took my dog for a walk both times plus fed her. When I got home, I could see she was a contented dog. What a relief to have a day with friends and not worry!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,497 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shimerville. 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 Shimerville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
