“Allore did a great job watching my pets while I was out of town. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. I could tell my pets were comfortable and when I got home everything was in order. Will definitely be booking with her again”
“Andrew was the perfect sitter. He scheduled a time to meet with us before our trip to go over our dog's routine and house "things". We were away for 4 nights, he communicated well, and we returned to a very clean home, just as we left it. Andrew also had the initiative to strip and wash the bed linens, which was very thoughtful and helped to make our return home a smooth transition. I highly recommend Andrew and will seek him out for our next trip.”
“Daya was fantastic with Rico and Aquafina, as well as with the house! She was super patient with Rico (Chihuahua with separation anxiety) and Aquafina (cat) who loved her, even though Aquafina usually doesn't like anyone! She kept the house cleaner than when we left! And even vacuumed and washed the bed sheets before she left, which I didn't expect, but greatly appreciate! Our dog and cat were in great shape when we returned, not stressed at all!”
“Bella stayed in our home, cared for our 4 cats, 1 dog, and a fish for 8 days. Our newly planted bushes and flowers were also attended to! We are repeat clients and will call on Bella again! She touched base each day with photos.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs. I currently care for three dogs of my own, including a senior dog who requires extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also cared for my previous dog throughout his battle with epilepsy. Administering his medication on schedule and staying with him during and after his seizures taught me how important it is to remain calm, attentive, and compassionate during stressful situations. Because of these experiences, I'm comfortable caring for senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra attention to animals with special needs. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with plenty of patience, affection, playtime, and reliable care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Since I am a Nursing Student at ESU, my daily schedule is jam-packed with classes. However, my evenings are usually relatively open and I am always open to overnight sitting! I love animals with all my heart and spending time with different personalities is really special to me. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. In my client's home, I make it a priority to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, going on walks or playing as needed, cleaning up after them, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. I'm also happy to administer oral medications and provide extra care for senior pets or those with special needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I currently care for three dogs, including a senior dog, and I previously cared for my epileptic dog, ensuring he received his medication on time and staying by his side whenever he experienced a seizure. Those experiences taught me patience, responsibility, and how to remain calm in unexpected situations. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless playtime, quiet cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll adapt to their individual personality and needs. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: in my years as a nanny, i often found myself responsible for family pets as well. it quickly became my favorite part of job. no matter what i’m doing in life, i always have dogs or cats to help care for. i have my own cats with various medical needs, so i am very accustomed to special needs animals. i have neonatal kitten and puppy experience, as well as having cared for many senior dogs and cats as well. do you have a kitten or puppy that can’t be left alone? i’m your girl! does your dog get antsy in the house all day? let me take them for a sniff n stroll! whatever the need, my love of animals drives me to give the best care i possibly can. i am currently finishing my degree online, so i have a lot of flexibility. aside from the occasional scheduled meeting or exam, i have the flexibility to be there for your pet whenever they need. i am very conscious of the fact that i am entering other people’s homes to provide pet care. i take the approach of hiking on a trail: leave no trace! the only indication that i was in your home should be a happy pet!
“Cristel was amazing! She took great care of our senior pup who needed some extra help. She gave wonderful updates and pictures daily. We highly recommend having her help with your pets. She even helped organize our house while we were gone. Thank you so much!”

“Madelyn took care of my 14-year old Siberian Husky, Kodiak, who has arthritis. She house-sat him while we were away on vacation for 12 days. She was wonderful with him, taking him on frequent short walks during the day. When we got home, we found a very neat house and a very happy (and tired!) dog. I would absolutely hire her again.”
About: I have always had two dogs since I was born. Coming to college and not having any to take care of or be with has been a downer so having me take care of your dogs should be no worry to you and it will be mentally nurturing for me! I am a student and I am free Tuesday-Fridays anytime after 4 and on weekends and Mondays I am free all day long to be there for your pets. I live in an apartment building but there is a park right down the street that I can take them too and a small pocket park outside of my apartment building
“We had a wonderful experience with Andrew and would absolutely recommend him! From the start, his communication was excellent; he was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout our time away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Andrew was incredibly professional and took great care of our two cats. It was clear that he was attentive to their individual needs and genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and well cared for while we were gone. We came home to two happy cats and everything exactly as it should be. It can be nerve-wracking using a new sitter for the first time, but Andrew made the entire experience easy and stress-free. We felt completely comfortable having him care for our cats and will be happily booking him in the future!”
“Jen was an outstanding cat sitter. She accepted my last minute request and immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care. My cat requires multiple medications throughout the day, and she handled everything flawlessly. She was kind, attentive, and even took the initiative to research my cat’s condition to better understand his needs. Coming home to a clean house and litter box was so nice after a long day of travel. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommended!”
“Karen stayed at our house for a week and a half with our 5 cats and 110-lb dog. She sent pics and updates every day, and I could tell that my pets were calm and happy the entire time we were gone. One of our cats has kidney disease and is on a prescription diet, and our dog can be a handful because of how big and strong she is, but Karen handled all of them and their feedings and supplements with ease.”
About: I have 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for animals, with a special love for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience caring for small dogs to large breeds, and I’m comfortable providing the individual attention and care each pet needs. Currently I have a very easy, open and flexible schedule. You and yours will be my #1 priority. My routine always works around you, and your furry friend. Depending on what services are needed, I am very open for different service options. I have no problem crating animals if needed/wanted. Treat/feed options as well.
About: Had my first pet at a young age and I have always shown them love and attention. Love how much they just want to be Love and be Loved. Work part time and have lots of time to Pet Sit. Very flexible with my schedule and this is something that will be perfect for me to do as I love and do well with our Fur Family. I've got a yard with fence around it and for my cats they have a cat litter box on each for so they have easy access to it. I'm very attentive to making sure their cat litter gets scooped up daily to keep them happy, healthy and comfortable.
About: Hello! I'm Tammie and animals have always been a central part of my life, and I couldn't imagine my world without them. I have years of personal experience caring for both dogs and cats—from managing high-energy playtimes to providing a quiet, comforting space for senior pets. I am observant, patient, and deeply passionate about ensuring that both your dogs and cats feel secure and happy in my care. I also have experience working with llamas, alpacas, goats, sheep, and chickens. I’m looking forward to meeting my new furry friends and my journey working for Rover. Im currently working part time and I have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats. I'm available early mornings and late night visits with open availability on weekends. I have a pet friendly apartment and sidewalks to walk dogs. I’m very reliable and extra cautious of my surroundings and other animals near by.
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was little, starting with Champ, the family golden retriever. As I got older, I adopted my own dog during my time in law school, Sasha (see profile photo), who is a Shepherd-Pyrenees mix. After Sasha, along came Sadie the Great Pyrenees. Needless to say, I have a lot of hands-on experience with larger breeds and know how to handle them on walks. I've also cared for the dogs of many people in my life - my wife's Golden Doodle, my best friend's Golden Doodle, and even my old boss's Beagle (just to name a few). Additionally, I spent a semester in college volunteering at an animal shelter where I was tasked with walking the largest dogs they had. Friends and family call me the "dog-whisperer" because I always find a way to make friends with every dog I come across. I work full-time but get to work from home three (3) days per week - always on Friday and most Mondays, with the third day varying by week. I'm also free on the weekends! I treat my dogs like human family members (sometimes even better) and will treat yours the same way! I will go the extra mile to make sure your dog is well-cared for.
“I have a 12 year old dog and a 12 year old cat. The dog is pretty sick and needs very specific care and Jessica went above and beyond for both of them! You can tell she really cares deeply for the animals she takes care of. She sends very helpful updates, is very attentive to their needs and my pets already miss her.”

Allore was absolutely fantastic with my babies! They were taken care of as well as if I was doing it myself! She kept in contact with me with any issues and sent pictures daily. My house was clean and tidy when I got home, and all my pets were happy and healthy! I will definitely use Allore in the future!! Thank you so much!!!
Daya took great care of our dogs and was very affectionate with them. She was wonderful at communicating with us and sending us pictures. Our dogs, Belle and Rory were very comfortable with her from the start. She gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in capable, caring hands.
Daya was fantastic with Rico and Aquafina, as well as with the house! She was super patient with Rico (Chihuahua with separation anxiety) and Aquafina (cat) who loved her, even though Aquafina usually doesn't like anyone! She kept the house cleaner than when we left! And even vacuumed and washed the bed sheets before she left, which I didn't expect, but greatly appreciate! Our dog and cat were in great shape when we returned, not stressed at all!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shoemakers on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 576 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shoemakers. 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 Shoemakers 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 Shoemakers 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 Shoemakers 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 Shoemakers. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
