“Deena was great with Gunnar. He warmed up to her quickly. Trustworthy, on time, kept me updated throughout the day and even helped me out with a few other requests. Will definitely book more with Deena in the future! Thanks again 😊”
“Best sitter EVER!!! We trust Angela 100000% with our babies. She leaves the most thoughtful post walk notes, takes photos of our animals, really takes the best care of them, and goes above and beyond. 100/10 will always always come to Angela!!”
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.
“Very pleasant and accommodating. I had her over to my parents home where my dog was staying to walk my pup on relatively short notice. My parents dogs as well as mine all obviously took a shine to her, she sent me photos of the dogs, and was over every day she said she would be and walked for at least 30 min. Definitely someone I would recommend!”
“Kara is fantastic with our energetic lab puppy. She's so loving with animals and has been dependable for our dog walking needs. She's also really good with training out bad behaviors in our puppy. Thanks so much!”
“Wow! I am seriously impressed with Hannah. She jived well with my dog Xander, has been just a hero in a situation where I desperately needed someone to watch Xander while I took his sister to puppy class. She was on time and had no problem with the full hour. I picked up a very contented Xander. I would highly recommend!”
“Shelby is completely awesome!!!! Very communicative, dependable, and obviously cares for all animals. I’m stuck on the 2nd floor due to a broken leg, so she has really helped me in a jam!”
“Sue is outstanding! She was on time and very friendly! She took our lab, Maya, for a long walk today and sent photos that reflected how happy she was. Sue is trustworthy and we would absolutely recommend her if you need someone to care for your pets. Maya cannot wait to go.for a walk with Sue again. She is tuckered out and will sleep well tonight.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats since childhood and have been involved in their daily care for many years, including feeding and basic routines. I’ve also helped care for and watch family and family friends’ dogs, giving me experience with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that means walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand the importance of structure, attention, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and will treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very flexibly into my weekly routine. I have mostly open availability and can adjust my schedule to prioritize pet care bookings, including house-sitting, drop-ins, and walks. I occasionally pick up shifts at a medical endoscopy center and may take on occasional part-time work, but my schedule is flexible and I am able to plan around pet care commitments in advance. I provide care in clients’ homes by following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided. I make sure pets are safe, calm, and well cared for, and I pay close attention to their behaviors and needs. I also respect the client’s home by keeping things clean, organized, and secure, and I will always communicate if anything seems off or requires attention.
“Allison did a great job walking our Annie girl. Annie is a big dog and I was very pleased she could handle her safely. She sent pictures and kept us updated. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing these services.”
“Lindsey is terrific. Was just a first visit, but it's clear that she is punctual, flexible, and a very comfortable handler. She was totally fine with my large (95 lb) and energetic dog. She trained her own dogs through Happy Tails and knows the commands if that helps. I definitely recommend Lindsey.”
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.
“I felt like my dogs were well taken care of when they were with Katy and Luke. They did a wonderful job of communicating with me, meeting the dogs prior to their walk, and showing kindness to us as well. This was a terrific time for me using Rover for the first time.”
About: I've been a dog person my whole life. I love dogs and give mine the loving attention they deserve. You can rest assured your dog will receive the same love, attention, and proper care/treatment. I'm a teacher currently not working in the summer...so I can help out anytime you need it. Once the school year starts, my hours will change, but for now, I'm here to help! I have a big, fenced backyard. I have crates available if needed. You can trust that your dog's safety and positive environment will be my top priority.
“Caitlin did a great job with Tanner! He has separation anxiety and stranger issues, but she was able to get him to trust and like her. She is prompt and responds to communications quickly. Would definitely use Caitlin again. Thanks.”
“Samantha has been awesome with our puppy!!! Her communication is wonderful and she is always prompt. She gives extra TLC and Keira just loves her. We feel fortunate to have found her and we are very comfortable leaving our puppy in her care.”
About: I work Monday through Friday with every other Friday off. I am looking to dog sit on my free time during weeknights or weekends. I am very dog friendly with any kind of dog, am very laid back, and love to stay busy. At my house I have no dogs so I'd love to meet yours. ❤ I work at 9 to 5 during the week but have every other Friday off and weekends. I can stop by on the way home from work or work weekends watching your dog. I have a fenced in yard that is fairly big for your dog to run around. I also have a dog bed and cage if needed.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shelby
Taylor walks our dog in a regular basis. Our schedule is now different every week and we always appreciate her flexibility when and if we need to make changes. She is reliable and great with communication. She replies to all of our requests to book promptly. As we move into cold weather she asks about how to handle walking with our almost 10 year old dog, especially on bitter or icy days. We are very thankful!!
Lindsey is terrific. Was just a first visit, but it's clear that she is punctual, flexible, and a very comfortable handler. She was totally fine with my large (95 lb) and energetic dog. She trained her own dogs through Happy Tails and knows the commands if that helps. I definitely recommend Lindsey.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Shelby. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Shelby.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shelby. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
