About: My neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me for taking care of their dogs. I have played with dogs of all sizes, including taking care of puppies! I have owned a multitude of pets my entire life. Ranging from dogs to lizards to guinea pigs. My love for animals and caring for them is genuine. Currently, I have a golden retriever, two fish, and a dwarf hamster. I am currently in college, but am very available during the week. I am available Tuesday and Thursday after 1:30. And I am available from 12-2 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and anytime after 3 on those days. I can find availability during weekends if needed. I can walk dogs, play with them, let them out, and hang out with them whenever needed. Although I am unable to board dogs, I am willing stay with them at a clients home.
“Shelby did two drop-in visits for me. My girls were happy to see her and she met their needs perfectly. So glad I found Shelby to take care of my girls when I am away for long periods of a day.”
About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of different personalities and needs. I have three dogs of my own at home, so I am very comfortable with the responsibility and attention that comes with taking care of pets. I have also helped friends and family care for their dogs, which has given me experience with different routines, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they are my own and am happy to follow their specific routines and needs! I am currently a student-athlete on the Ashland University women’s soccer team while pursuing my MBA. My schedule is very open during the mornings and throughout most of the day since my soccer training is typically in the evenings. With games only about twice a week, I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week to care for pets. I’m also looking to be more active during the day when I’m not in class or at soccer, so spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and fits naturally into my routine. I would love to use that extra time to give dogs attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away! I am currently only able to care for pets in their owner’s home, as I am unable to have dogs stay in my home. I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet in the environment they are most comfortable in. I will follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I want both the pet and owner to feel comfortable and confident while they are away!
About: I've had pets most of my life. I've cared for big dogs and little dogs. This includes potty training, walking, baths, ear cleaning, and nail trimming. I've also administered medications in pill, liquid, and shots. I've cared for puppies, middle aged, and seniors and know the unique needs at each life stage. I currently work full time, but my wife does not work, so we have lots of time to care for your pet. I am available almost all weekends. I have a full fenced in yard with a 4 foot chain link fence.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 199 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Olivesburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

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.
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.
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.
