“Noa is very friendly and professional. She took great care of my two cats. Very good communication and plenty of pics. Also spent some time with the cats and played with them. Can’t ask for much more. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
“Amazing and intentional sitter! She made leaving our fur babies for the holidays stress and worry free. Great updates and photos of our cats, will definitely be booking with Laura again! :)”
About: Having cared for my own pets, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll take the time to learn their personality and follow their usual routine, from meals and walks to playtime and quiet company. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a slower pace, I’ll give them attentive care and plenty of affection. I’ll also send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I work from home running my own business, and I plan pet care around my work commitments. Before each booking, we’ll agree on a schedule that fits your pet’s routine, including meals, walks, bathroom breaks, and time for attention and play. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before we begin. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep dogs leashed on walks, and check that doors and gates are secure. When visiting your home, I’ll respect your space and leave things as I found them. You’ll receive photos and updates, and I’ll contact you promptly with any concerns.
“She was so sweet, and Teddy absolutely loved her! She was always on time and went above and beyond what was expected. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I grew up in a multi pet household. I currently have a corgi named Finley who we give oral medication to daily and 3 cats named Jeepers, banana bread, and George. Finley is leash reactive so I understand how to diffuse any stressful situations while keeping your dog safe. I use rover often so I understand the importance of having a trust worthy person take care of your fur baby. Emma and I work nightshift so we are able to do late night drop ins such as making sure your fur baby isn't alone in the dark or going for a late night walk before bed. We are also home when you are at work so if you need a midday walk or fetch session, we are your gals! Either Emma, Mary, or both of us will be present for your fur babies. Emma has crate trained her dog so we understand if your dog needs to be in their crate for their safety and comfort. We will communicate when we arrive, how the walk went, send pictures, and if there is any additional help we can provide.
“Lily was wonderful. Very responsive and communication was great! Went above & beyond what we asked to ensure our fur babies were taken care of! Daily pics were a bonus ☺️ would highly recommend!”

“Sarah did a great job! She stayed to watch our cats for almost 2 weeks. The house was tidy when we got back and she was really responsive when I checked in. She even managed to keep our fat cat from getting fatter which is a a triumph in itself.”
About: In 2006, my family adopted an Old English Sheepdog, Zoey. We got Zoey when she was a puppy, and she lived to be 9 before she passed away. In 2013, my dad and step-mom adopted an Australian Shepherd puppy, Molly. Molly was very high energy and needed a job to do, which was stressful for my step-mom so after Zoey passed away, my mom, my sisters, and I had Molly come live with us. Molly was with me for all walks of life, and we lived together just me and her for the past 6 years. As Molly had gotten older, her arthritis became a big deterrent for us, and we adapted as best we could to make her as happy and comfortable as possible. In the years after college, I dog-sat for my family friends and my own friends when they'd travel. It was always enjoyable and a good way to hang out with some pretty cool dogs! They came in all shapes, sizes, and ages! With Maddy the shitzu being 17 and Banor the German Shepherd being almost a year. I've always had pets, so taking care of them has always been a priority for me. It's truly muscle memory at this point. I get up and immediately go to take my dog outside. Before going to bed, I allot 20 extra minutes to take my dog outside. It's second nature. I care for pets by creating a safe environment for them. I always double-check to make sure nothing is on the floor that they could get into. Pushing things back on the counter in case they jump. And making sure they get extra pets before leaving them to go to work.
“Julia was great with our kitties! we had something come up last minute and she went above and beyond to make sure our boys were looked after and loved. I would 100% recommend her, especially if your babies need medicines or a little extra care”
About: I’ve walked and cared for my families dogs and cats since i was young, i’ve always loved animals and having the chance to care for new pets is really fun. im currently working part time, mostly nights so i have a lot of free time during the day and afternoon. im also free every other weekend in my home, i feed my cats twice a day and make sure they are played with and loved on. And unfortunately right now, one of my cats is having tummy issues so i do know how to administer medications if needed.
About: While i love my fur babies, i have had a range of experience with all things such as reptiles, farm animals, fish, bunnies and even a spider or two! 🕷️🦎🐓🦆🐄🐎🐢🐠🐈🐕🐇🦜 I work full time 4 days a week but can always drop in before/after my shifts & of course anytime during my weekend! While sometimes my wife is away sitting, I’m at home with our babies. 🐾 I really go all out for my fur babies (spoiled rotten)🫢🤗 So you can expect me to take the best care of your fur babies & treat them as they are my own.🖤
About: I've been around and cared for animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I still help care for my family's pets and also have a cat of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I also grew up near neighbors who fostered dogs and puppies, and I loved spending time helping socialize and play with their foster puppies. This gave me experience being around puppies of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, puppy care, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I'm patient, dependable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I'll always follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same kindness and attention I'd want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, as well as many evenings and weekends. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks and pet care into my routine is something I'd genuinely enjoy! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I'll also keep you updated (with lots of pictures if needed!) while you're away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Shotwell is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $24 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.

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.

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.
