About: Hi! I’m Kyra, and I’m a passionate, dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I bring patience, responsibility, and lots of positive energy into everything I do - including caring for your pets! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own needs, routines, and quirks. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with some extra cuddles, I’m happy to match their vibe and make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them all the care (and belly rubs!) they deserve! 🐾 I’m a full-time teacher, so my availability is most consistent in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, the summer time, and school breaks. On weekdays, I’m typically available after school for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I have more flexibility on weekends and can often accommodate a variety of times. During the school year, I stick to a reliable routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability. Over holidays and breaks, my schedule opens up even more, allowing for extended care if needed! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and always keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits. I follow all instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines and I make sure pets are in a safe, clean environment at all times. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind. I treat every pet like they’re my own; with lots of love, attention, and care!
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.
“Phoebe was awesome! She kept us informed all day about how Maisey was doing. She took her on walks, rubbed her belly and took great care of her. She also sent us lots of pics throughout the day which I really appreciate. Can’t wait for her to stay with Maisey again”
“Gabrielle is outstanding! She cared for our pet as if he was her own - showering him with love and attention. She took our dog on many adventures, regularly shared photos with us, and cared for our home as well! We highly recommend her!”
“Hands down, Guinevere has been the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She responded in a very timely manner, kept us updated on how our three dogs were doing and sent many pictures. Two of our dogs normally go on a hunger strike when we leave, but this was no problem with Guinevere there. She even won over our crabby dog! House was left cleaner than when we left. We’re excited to book with Guinevere again in the near future.”
About: Im currently a Certified Veterinary Technician. I take care of animals every day with love and compassion. I’m excited to take care of animals in a more fun setting with everyone in our community. I work full time. Pet care would be part time. I’d like to treat the pet sitting similar to most scheduled people who have pets. Typically I would attend my day job and afterwords spend all of the time with your beloved pets. Arriving directly to your pet and making sure they are taken care of. Food, water, potty, ect. I’ve cared for pets in my home by allowing them the leisure of napping, play time, and potty breaks when it’s time . I like to allow pets to just be themselves. I like to also make sure they are monitored when I am present. For dogs during a house sitting I recommend a crate or special area your pet can be that is safe. I usually house sit at the same time as working my day job. During those times your pet will be alone and will need a safe area to be if I am not currently present.
About: I have taken care of not only my own 4 dogs but neighbors dogs as well. I have spent a lot of time around animals. I work part-time and go to college full time, but I usually have a decent amount of free time. I would love to spend my free time helping someone out with animals I enjoy working with. In my home my dogs run around in a fenced in yard. For other people it depends on the service what I am able to offer but I am lenient with many things
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have always had a natural connection with them. Although this is my first time offering pet sitting professionally, my veterinary background means I can recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort quickly — giving pet owners extra peace of mind. I treat every dog/cat like my own. I’m currently not working, so I’m available most of the day, every day. The only exception is Monday and Wednesday mornings, when I have English classes. Outside of that, I’m fully dedicated to giving pets the time and attention they deserve. I live in a spacious 3-story apartment with a balcony, and the surrounding area has plenty of grass and green spaces — perfect for walks and outdoor time. I don’t have pets of my own, so your furry friend will have my undivided attention in a calm, pet-friendly environment.

“Ilene stayed at our house with our three small dogs while we were away for a week and she took the best care of them! She sent updates and photos any time she could, and she made sure to follow the extra instructions I had for miscellaneous things around the house. The dogs really seemed to enjoy her and I would rebook her anytime!”
“Dani was a wonderful Dogsitter for my dog Lola. She kept me in the loop with any questions or concerns along the way since this was her first time at my home with my dog. She did a magnificent job. I would absolutely use her again.”
“We couldn't be happier with the way Eren and Luca cared for our two young cats while we were away! They gave them so much love and attention, and were very patient with our skittish kitty, monitoring him carefully to make sure he was getting enough food when he was too anxious to eat at regular mealtimes. They were great about checking in and sent us lots of video and photo updates, making it easy for us to relax during our trip in the confidence that our cats were being well taken care of. They followed our instructions carefully and left our house just as they found it. We highly recommend them!”
“Great experience! This is our second time booking Andrew to housesit. We can trust him to keep our elder dog safe and happy at our home. He’s very communicative; providing frequent updates and photos. He’s also courteous and respectful of our home. Couldn’t ask for a better pet/housesitter!”
“Justina has housesat for us twice now (once for about two weeks and once for a weekend) and watched my two pups and cat. She’s done an awesome job, kept us informed, sent pictures, and left the house very clean. We’ll be using her again anytime we travel!!”

Brianna was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our puppy and the house while we were away. She sent lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shimerville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,793 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shimerville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Shimerville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Shimerville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Shimerville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shimerville. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
