About: I knew from a young age that taking care of animals was what I wanted to do. I started out walking dogs and I then started as a dog bather. I then started training to groom dogs and cats. I also worked at Camp Critter Creek and took care of the dogs and cats and sometimes bunnies that were boarding there.I have volunteered to walk dogs at the Animal Shelter. I can honestly say that animals feel safe around me which I attribute to them sensing my love for animals. I have a German Shepherd of my own that my family and I rescued. We also have a GSP and our little sweetheart cat Vivie. Animals bring me joy to see them happy and healthy. I am available between the hours of 1 PM midnight Monday and Friday, I am also available all day on weekends. Those hours are adjustable if needed. I prefer taking care of your pets in your home since I have two dogs and a cat at my house. I would not want your pet to feel uncomfortable. And a lot of pets prefer their own home where they feel safe and are used to their routine
About: I've cared for pets at every stage of life—from helping train two high-energy puppies to lovingly supporting my mom’s senior dog through blindness and deafness. While nannying throughout college, I cared for two sweet Goldendoodles like they were my own. One of my most meaningful experiences has been bonding with a friend’s skittish, formerly abused boxer mix. Gaining his trust has been a true privilege and shows my patient, gentle approach to pet care. I treat every animal with the respect and love they deserve. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to build pet care into my day. I typically finish work around 4pm, but I’m available for morning and afternoon check-ins, walks, play time and/or feedings. On weekends, I’m usually home—either working in the yard or on a house project—so I’m around and happy to provide attentive care then, too. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize a safe, calm, and loving environment. My home is pet-free, so your pet will have the space all to themselves. While my yard isn’t fenced, I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood (Kanawha City) and always use a secure leash for walks. If you prefer care in your home, I’m a respectful, tidy house guest and follow all routines and instructions closely. I’m happy to provide care wherever your pet feels most comfortable and secure.
About: I gained hands‑on experience working in an animal shelter, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, needs, and backgrounds. I helped with feeding, enrichment, cleaning, socializing, and giving nervous or shy animals the patience and comfort they needed to feel safe. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust quickly, and provide calm, reliable care to every pet I meet. I work a steady 9–4 schedule, which still gives me plenty of time for morning, evening, and weekend pet care. I’m available before work for quick check‑ins, after 4pm for walks, drop‑ins, and playtime, and fully open on weekends for boarding or longer visits. I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and a routine that keeps them comfortable and happy. I provide a safe, calm environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I follow each owner’s routines closely, including feeding schedules, crate training, and any special instructions. I keep a clean space, monitor pets closely during play, and make sure they always have fresh water, enrichment, and a comfortable place to rest. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and well‑being always come first.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 15 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shrewsbury. 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.

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.
