About: I am a mature, reliable, healthy, energetic woman that has owned homes in the US and Canada for 40 years. I have had many dogs and cats, most often large dogs. I want to house/pet sit throughout the US so I will be able to get to know different regions during my retirement. I am fully Covid vaccinated. While I am retired, I continue to volunteer a lot for my church and several local organizations. While pet sitting, I usually do quilting projects in the morning, explore in the afternoons and knit while watching TV in the evenings. I usually care for pets in their own home. I believe this is the least stressful for the pets and my clients say I give them peace of mind while they travel.

“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”

Samantha was courteous, polite and very consistent with daily updates on Rover without issue. Obie seemed to enjoy her visits and company as well!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and currently have both senior cats and a senior dog (pug) at home. Caring for aging pets has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, consistency, and understanding each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and love getting to know each pet’s unique routine and energy level. I recently graduated and currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the week for dogs and cats of all ages! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays during both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to spend plenty of quality time with pets during the day. I understand how important consistency and routine are for animals, especially while their owners are away, and I strive to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of attention to help pets feel comfortable and safe. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and helping them feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications, and each pet’s individual needs and personality. I can easily crate a dog if necessary. I also value clear communication, cleanliness, and treating every home and pet with respect and care.

About: I've had pets most of my life including dogs, cats, fish and birds. I had 2 small dogs that recently passed away. One of them I had from a puppy until she passed at 15 years old. The other I adopted at 6 years old and had her until she was 12. So I'm very experienced taking care of all ages of pets. I loved my pets as if they were my kids and hope to pass that kind of care to your pets! I have a flexible schedule at the moment, but normally work full time Monday through Thursday. If boarding, I need a couple days in advance notice to make sure I can accommodate your pets needs. I own my own house with a fenced in yard. I live alone with no other pets. I also don't have any children so it will be just me and your pets! I will follow all instructions for caring for your pets at your home as well.

About: I would say I cater to all emotions and care of animals. I would try my best to give each different home a equal care that fits each breed and age. I am flexible and communicate well, with both owners and their fur babies. I am currently working seasonal and or part - time jobs. I am looking for a consistent routine such as taking care of a companion for my switch to school. I have worked will dogs more often than other animals. That being, when I have gone to clients homes I offer their companions plenty of time to either be outside or just have someone to keep them company. All pets very so all care is different.

About: I have taken care of dogs since my childhood, both my family dogs and those of friends and neighbors. I am comfortable giving oral medications as my dog takes daily oral medication. I have also watched our friends and neighbors cats since I was a teenager and know how special it is when they take a liking to you. My schedule is very flexible as I am currently between jobs after moving! Even when I start working it will be 3-4 days a week. My dog is not always dog friendly so I will not be bringing her on any walks. I can follow any specific directions you have about your pet as they are all unique!

“Anna was a phenomenal pet sitter, and we will not hesitate to hire her again! First, and most importantly, our animals were well cared for. We appreciated the updates, and photos and videos Anna sent. All of their daily tasks were taken care of and we came home to clean pens and litter boxes. She also treated our house with such respect. It was so nice to get home and have happy animals and a clean house.”

Jerry is the best cat sitter ever. Both of my shy cats come out to greet him when he comes to visit and they even rub his legs. If you knew them, you would know how amazing that is.

We had to book last minute travel due to a family emergency, and Maria was able to accommodate us on short notice. Communication was great, and she was flexible with our needs and updates. Our Maltese, Marley, doesn’t do well with other dogs, so boarding would have been extra stressful. We really appreciated being able to schedule three drop-in visits per day. Thanks for taking care of our fur babies while we were away!

Ross was an absolute Godsend!! He took such good care of my kitties, and they warmed up to him rather quickly, even my shy girl Rosie. He kept in touch promptly and made sure to leave detailed notes after each visit. He was extremely accommodating as well, as maintenance had to change my locks while I was away and I also had a package delivered early... I informed him of all of this and he graciously changed my keys on my key ring and made sure my package made it inside safely. He went above and beyond the call of duty and I felt my kitties were in great hands. I would 100% book with him again!

I booked Amber to watch my kitties over the Christmas holiday. I came home to my kitties healthy, and thus grateful for their care. We did have some communication issues (her phone didn’t have service/not on and a missed drop in which I had to reach out to her first (hours later) to understand what was going on). I do want to say that she did remedy the issue in the end. My only critique is that I would have wanted her to find a way to communicate with me first when things arise that affect my pets feeding schedule so I could find an alternative solution, that way she could focus on any personal emergencies that pop up. Overall Amber is nice and friendly and I know with more pet-sitting experience she will be a well-sought after Rover sitter.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Shore Acres

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Shore Acres is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 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 1,878 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shore Acres. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shore Acres. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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.

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.
