“My name is Mike my dogs name is Shy Which her breed is a Cane Corso . So she’s a large dog and some people are intimidated by her. Shy was not sure about Jo L at first. But within about four or five minutes, Shy had a chance to smell Jo L and then she got hugs from shy lol great first introduction extremely happy with that visit ! If you’re looking for someone with experience and a lot of knowledge as well as caring and patient to help you watch your dog, I would strongly recommend Jo L !”

About: I have been working with people's furry family members on and off for about 10 years now. Aside from working in doggy daycare and boarding, I've cared for animals of friends and family throughout my life. Keeping animals well taken care of and well enriched is my specialty. I am also a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College. I'll be available for sitting on weekends and eventually full-time! Walks and training sessions can always be incorporated into my week. Please reach out so we can make your schedule work! I have pet sat and worked in boarding/daycare facilities for years. There is almost no situation I couldn't accommodate. Whether it be special preferences you might have for your furry buddy or necessities like administering important medication, there is almost no situation I wouldn't be happy to oblige when taking care of your pet.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, from chickens and horses to bunnies and birds, and there has always been a dog (or two!) in the mix. I currently have two dogs of my own who are very loved and spoiled! 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. No matter your pet’s age, personality, or needs, I’ll make sure they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own! I’m available on weekends and select days throughout the week, and my work-from-home schedule gives me the flexibility to provide your pets with plenty of love, attention, and care. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and trustworthy looking after your furry family members, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to help make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a lifelong animal lover with two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. My home has a fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time and play safely under supervision. I also believe in slow, careful introductions when meeting new dogs to help everyone feel comfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routines, respect their individual needs, and treat them with the same love and care I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved! 🐾❤️

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have four cats, two dogs, and two rabbits, so I’m used to taking care of multiple pets with different needs and personalities. One of my dogs is very old and has become blind and deaf, which has taught me a lot about patience, paying attention to details, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. Caring for him has given me experience working with animals that need a little extra support and attention. I also volunteered at a horse rescue and rehabilitation facility for a year, where I helped with feeding, grooming, cleaning stalls, and caring for horses. Working with horses taught me how to safely handle large animals, stay calm under pressure, and understand animal behavior. It gave me a lot of confidence and responsibility that I still use when caring for pets today. Besides my own animals, I’ve helped care for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, basic medications, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their owners are away. I’m a 19-year-old college student currently on summer break and working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets because I feel the same way about my own. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners peace of mind. ❤️ As a college student on summer break, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability outside of my part-time job. This allows me to dedicate time and attention to each pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent, quality care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, clean up after pets, ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention, and carefully follow any special instructions. I also treat each home with respect and keep pet owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I think that animals have personalities, feelings, and emotions just like humans do. So when I take care of a furry friend, it's like I'm taking care of a baby. They need a lot of attention and require a lot of care. I like to get to know your fur baby and build a bond with them. I know that leaving your pet with a stranger can be nerve-racking but I want you to know that when you leave your dog in my care, that they will be treated with respect and given the best care that I can provide. I am always available and willing to put in the effort it takes. This would help supplement my income and give me the opportunity to spend more time with fur babies of all kinds! I enjoy the company of fur babies, it is very therapeutic. I have plenty of space for fur babies to be comfortable. I love to take my baby on walks and have plenty of play time as well.

“Dana did such a fantastic job taking care of my three cats! She is a great listener and she did everything my cats needed and more. She is such a kind person, and you can tell she really loves cats because it shows in how she cares for them. I was really nervous to leave my cats for a week but with Dana taking care of them, I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing while I was gone. She sent me a report card with lots of pictures after every visit, which made me feel so much more at ease on my vacation. She really went above and beyond for my cats and I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for her hard work while I was gone. Dana, you’re the best and I appreciate you so much!”

I loved getting updates and knowing my cat was in such good hands. It gave me total peace of mind while I was gone. I came home to a happy, well cared for cat, which says everything. I would 100% recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!!! :-)”

About: I have always grown up with cats and dogs, since I was very small. I love taking my dogs for walks and playing with them! My availability is very flexible, I work short hours, early in the morning and I'm home by noon. I am also a student at Oakland University during the fall-spring but can stop by to check in between classes I prefer to stay at the clients home to keep the pets comfortable and used to their schedule. I love to go for walks and spend time playing outside!

About: Over the course of my life I personally have had three dogs all of which have been trained by me. I also have experience training leader dogs for the blind through Michigan State University’s program. I absolutely love dogs and will treat yours as my own. I also have several friends and family that I regularly care for their pets anytime they are out of town. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for walks and drop ins before 9am and after 4 PM. I’m also available anytime on weekends and am open to house sitting. I’m dependable about maintaining each pet’s normal feeding, bathroom, exercise, and medication routines while making sure they get plenty of attention and care. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own routine. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special preferences. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well while they’re away.

About: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I was a devoted owner of my Chihuahua for 13 years, which gave me extensive experience with long-term, attentive care and the needs of an aging dog. I also have experience with neonatal puppies. I helped care for a litter of 8 puppies from birth through adoption, assisting with feeding, handling, cleaning, monitoring their development, and providing consistent care until they went to their forever homes. I continue to help care for young puppies belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with puppy routines, supervision, and the extra patience they require. Additionally, I gained professional experience working at a doggy daycare during college, where I helped care for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention I would want for my own dog. My Availability 🐾 I’m unavailable Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available after 4 PM on those days. I’m fully available Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with flexible availability throughout the day. Have a specific schedule in mind? Send me a booking request or message me with your dates and your pet’s routine, and I’ll be happy to see how I can help! 🐾 Every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I like to learn what works best for them before each booking. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, medication if needed and within my comfort level, and plenty of attention and companionship. For drop-in visits and walks, I can follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. For overnight care, I do not stay overnight in clients’ homes. I’m happy to discuss extended drop-in visits or multiple visits throughout the day and evening instead. For boarding or overnight stays in my home, arrangements need to be discussed and approved in advance since I live with my family. I’ll make sure the setup is a good fit for both your pet and my household before confirming the booking. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Shelby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Shelby is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 1,531 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 .

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 , 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 .

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 , 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.
