“I can’t recommend Madison enough. She followed all my instructions perfectly and was amazing with providing updates on my cat. I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her again.”
“Kyle was an excellent choice, to care for our energetic puppy who needed more supervision. He was communicative with us, while away and also interactive with our pup, keeping him busy and safe. I will definitely rebook with Kyle, when needed next.”
“Elena took amazing care of our cats while we were on vacation. She made sure to communicate frequently and gave plenty of updates. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants their fur babies in safe hands”
“Christiana was great. She took care of my cat Domino for a week and when I returned he was well fed and well scooped. She kept everything in order and the house and litter box was clean when I got back. I was given good feedback after every visit and she arrived exactly when she was supposed to. Highly recommended!”
“I highly recommend Morgan! She took amazing care of my cat, Mickey, and paid attention to every little detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and reliable hands.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, both small and big! I absolutely love furry friends and have one of my own. I have a small, older cockapoo named Riley and I’ve taken care of him since he was a puppy and I was in 8th grade - I actually had to pitch an entire care plan to let my mom allow me to have him! I work entirely from home and have a calm, quiet environment. I work entirely from home and have breaks throughout the day where I’d be able to play with your furry friend! I work both during the day and overnight, and will be able to tend to your dogs needs hourly at the very least! I have a fenced yard and a small cockapoo who is calm and friendly. I have a small crate as well if that is supportive for your pup! My home is calm and stress-free. You can count on regular updates, photos, and honest communication while your pup is in my care!
“This was my first time using Rover, and Amber made it a fantastic experience. She was reliable and communicative. I was nervous leaving Teddy and MoMo for the first time, but Amber put all my worries at ease. She followed all my instructions perfectly (even I changed most my instructions on the day of visit 🥲) The daily pictures were a lifesaver, and my home was left perfectly tidy. Highly recommend!"”
“Jamey visited my newly adopted senior cat three times a day for three days. She fed her, gave her medications, cleaned her litter box and kept her company. It’s so comforting to know that I can enjoy my little vacations while my cat is well cared for back at home.”
“Bella was a pleasure to work with. She stays in touch leading up to the visit and afterward. She also did a great job of calming one of our more skittish kitties during our interview. We love the picture updates from the visit - thank you for those. Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve being taking care of dogs, cats and little parakeets since I was a teenager. I love every kind of life in this earth. I respect them. My love is that big for them that my family and friends have trusted me with their pets to walk, play, feed and bath them. I also have experience in grooming. I practiced it in my two little ones (Simba and Chocolate). I’m currently working at a full time job, but I am available every evening at 6:00 pm until late at night. I also have plenty of time on Saturday and Sunday, so I can play, walk with your pups and have the best of time! I am a very liable person. I like to keep things in order and clear. I would focus on the wellbeing of your pups like they were my own pets. I would be careful in every scenario, always making sure and paying attention of the needs of the love ones.
“Dawn was wonderful. We needed someone to walk our dog from our hotel a few times when we were in from out of town. She was even willing to do a late night visit. Dawn went out of her way to come and meet him beforehand and was very gentle with our small Pomeranian who was nervous in the new environment and not always comfortable with strangers. Dawn was so sweet with him, stayed in touch on her visits and was just a genuinely nice person. I completely trusted her with our fur baby and would absolutely call on her again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Steff. She has cared for my cat on multiple occasions — not just this trip, but also the time before — and she has consistently gone above and beyond. She’s professional, clear in her communication, and always gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away. I know my cat is safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I will absolutely continue to use her in the future (if she’ll have us!) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. ❤️”

“Samantha was amazing with our Gracie! It the first time we’ve ever left her and Samantha made us feel at ease that our fur-baby was receiving all the love and care she needed in our absence. Samantha is kind, reliable and very trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. I’d give her ten stars if I could!”
About: I have been around animals and pets my whole life. I love learning the best way to treat and handle my furry companions. My number one goal is keeping my furry companions safe, healthy and happy. My day starts and ends with caring for them in the best way possible. I make sure pets are being fed the best food possible and making sure they are comfortable in our home. I make sure that when I am caring for a pet, that they are comfortable with my presence and I never want to overwhelm them in their own environment or in my own. I like to stay in communication with pet owners and want others pets/babies to be as comfortable as they can within my home and presence

Amber was an exceptional pet sitter! She arrived early and was consistently punctual, which gave me great peace of mind. She spent lots of quality time with my animals and kept me updated with photos throughout her stay, such a thoughtful touch that made me feel even more at ease. Everything went smoothly with no issues at all, and her easygoing nature made the whole experience stress-free. I’ll absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shirley stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Shirley 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!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Shirley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
