About: I have loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I'm lucky to say that my home has never been pet-free! From dogs to hedgehogs to the cats I care for today, my lifelong experience with pets has been filled with joy and companionship. My love for animals has also given me experience caring for the pets of friends and family, in addition to my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I strive to provide care that is tailored to each individual animal. My goal is to help pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. As a dedicated college student who works part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for pets throughout the week. I prioritize communication and careful planning of my responsibilities to ensure that the pets I care for receive the attention and companionship they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I take the time to learn and closely follow each pet's unique routine, preferences, and any special care instructions to keep them safe and happy while their owners are away. Having five indoor cats of my own, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for and protecting beloved pets, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every animal in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same level of care, patience, and attention. My goal is not only to provide pets with reliable care, but also to provide owners with peace of mind.
“Angela is a true professional at caring for pets. We have 2 Cats and a Box Turtle, the one Cat is elderly and required 2 visits a day. Angela never missed a beat taking excellent care of them in our home while we were on vacation for week. She was always there at our agreed times, spending quality time caring for our pets. We looked forward to her descriptive text message and pictures on Rover documenting visits. This was our 1st experience with Rover and thanks to Angela were planning more vacations in the future. Highly recommended!!!”
“Shelby is very kind and I’m very confident and glad my cats are well cared for when I’m gone. I will book Shelby as often as I can. She’s already part of the family!”
“I am a very nervous dog mom. So relieved that Deena communicates quickly and puts my mind at ease. I was very pleased that my Pups had a walk and some playtime while I was away. I’ll be using her again. ☺️”
“Kara was great with my cat, Cookie. I felt comfortable going out of town, knowing that she was very responsible and I could count on her to take care of Cookie every day. Thanks Kara !”
“Gabi was absolutely amazing! She is incredibly reliable, sweet, and loving. Bazo and Luna can be shy around new people, but they felt comfortable with her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was always on time, responsive, and treated my cats with so much love and care. I would absolutely trust Gabi with them again and highly recommend her!”
“Many thanks for taking such great care of my cats. It is obvious from the photos & comments that you completely won their hearts! I don't worry about them at all when I'm gone knowing they have someone so competent to care for them.”
“Abby S. was great. She took care of our pets as requested. She sent pictures everyday. I was a little concerned, about having someone coming into my house, that I did not know. But Abby did great. She is a very trustworthy person. I will definitely use her again!”
About: I want you to know that I have experience with giving animals pills. I have also watched dogs with trauma who have a hard time accepting new people because I have a calming presence. Not officially trained but have taken care of dogs through seizures and I'm always willing to learn more. I currently work full-time during the week between the hours of 3pm-10pm on monday and 1pm-10pm Tuesday through Friday so I am always willing to visit during the midday to check on your furry babies. I can always watch them if you have a weekend where you are away. I will not be able to take care of pets in my home because I am not allowed dogs and currently already have the max number of cats.
“Simon and I are very grateful for Cheryl. She is kind, attentive, and goes out of her way to make her time with him a fun adventure! She goes above and beyond to help however she can!”
“Lily has helped us out three times now and we can’t say enough good things! She’s great with both of our dogs, takes tons of pictures, and is always letting us know how things are going throughout our trip! Lily is AMAZING!”
“This was my first experience using rover and we couldn’t be happier with how great it went! We got photos and updates and Danielle was incredibly reliable and kind. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Samantha is our go to for drop in visits for our senior tabby cats. She is reliable, communicates effectively, and always sends photos with her updates. We highly recommend Samantha and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Best cat sitter! So trust worthy and she sent plenty of pictures! She did my exact instructions and was on time everyday. I felt very calm leaving g her with my kitties. Also, both my cats warmed up to her very well and they are normally little scaredy cats. Would highly recommend using Sarah and will use her again on my next trip! Thanks Sarah <3”
About: I grew up with cats and have raised two pups since they were around 10 weeks old. I’ve taken them to multiple levels of training classes and groom them at home. I treat my animals like they’re my children and would be happy to spread my love along to your furry friends! I work from home during the week, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to fit in pet care easily! I enjoy keeping busy, especially if it includes being around furry friends! I ensure pets receive adequate amount of food, playtime, attention and love each day. One of my pets was diagnosed with anxiety as a puppy, which has been a huge learning experience during walks and interactions with other dogs and people. I am a very patient person and would be happy to take care of pets regardless of their needs, personalities and behaviors. :)
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always felt at home with animals, especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love the opportunity to care for your best friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a helping hand.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,547 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 with handling special pet needs in Shelby. On Rover:

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 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.
