About: I grew up around all types of pets, from dogs to birds to lizards to cats. For as long as I've known, I've fed bearded dragons crickets and ran alongside happy pups. I absolutely love animals, and am happy and willing to work within any routines and structures pre-set for your pets. As a recent college graduate, my time is very flexible - I'm available for whenever you need me. I'm dedicated to clear and open communication about my time. Providing you and your pet with the least stressful pet care experience possible is my goal. I'd love to meet your pet, learn their routines, quirks, and learn anything that's required for their care and your peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs and worked in many different animal atmospheres from rescues, humane societies, to Grooming salons and Boarding facities. I have been a reliable contact for family, friends, and have acquired clients from previous jobs. I have been a pet owner for over 15 years and have plenty of experience with care taking, administering medications, and just loving our fur babies!!! I Pets and Animals ate my passion. I would live to grow and expand to really center my work life around pets and making them feel lo ed or tending to them while Mom and Dad are away. I will follow any detailed instructions i may get for any pet. I do not have fenced in area so that is the main reason I want to travel to clients homes. I have used a leash and or lead to keep dogs in yards as well. I will do whatever a pet parent needs.

Linda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away and was very good about sending photos and videos. I will definitely hire Linda again to check in on my cat.

About: As a lifelong dog lover and dedicated pet owner, I understand that pets are family. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a consistent routine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, including puppies who need patience and structure and older dogs who benefit from extra attention and gentle care. As a pet parent myself, I know how important updates and communication are, so you'll receive regular photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own dog. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide visits, feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention. I am committed to following each pet's routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully and treat the home with respect. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention. My goal is to keep pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away

About: I have had a personal doggy care system for about 6 years. I tend to do a lot of house sitting because I want your animal to feel safe and comfortable in their environment. My business primarily has been through word of mouth but I have taken care of little fur babies from old to young, I also can give meds to any dog, no matter the issues; I’ve worked with epileptic dogs to dogs with heart issues, truly I don’t mind! I’ve worked with anxious dogs/cats to aggressive dogs/cats. I am a dog nanny to my sisters 3 dogs now, they brighten my day, daily! I absolutely love animals and hope to help yours! I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule. I am able to let out/walk your little ones at any and all times of the day. I don’t need much heads up, as long as I can get there, I’m able to stay as long or take them to parks, on car rides, etc. I have a pretty big fenced yard and 3 friendly dogs at home, one small and two medium, all very friendly to keep any fur baby company. I am comfortable house sitting as well, I also can crate if needed. I believe in providing comfort and creating a low stress environment for your baby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 35 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Shelby. 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
