About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by dogs and cats along with any other pet you can think of. My first job was pet/house sitting for a family friend every other month. Now that I am older, I recently adopted a dog of my own! I love taking her on walks, playing, and going to trails and taking her hiking with me! I also have experience with farm animals such as chickens, goats, rabbits, horses, pigs, and even donkeys! I currently work part time and go to college so there is plenty of time to ensure proper attention and play with your pets! I am available early mornings and throughout the day depending on work and school schedule. I am more than willing to accommodate differentiating schedules. I crate trained my puppy and she has acclimated very well. I will make sure to follow all pet parents schedules and preferences whether that be crate training or free roam.

About: I have been taking care of pets for 40 years. I have experience with both large and small breeds. I am patient and realize that each pet has it's own personality and needs. I also sit for dogs on deployment which is a pet sitting service for military pets in need while their parents are deployed. I absolutely enjoy being around pets and that shows in my interaction with them, I talk to them and play with them so they are not only getting the attention they need but also using up the extra energy they may have. I will take care of your pet as if it was my own because I realize that they are an integral part of your families and are like children. I work from home so I can be at your pets disposal at all times. I alternate every few hrs of playtime to a rest time so pets aren’t overly stimulated I have a fenced in yard so I allow them to just run off leash and interact with each other or with my two dogs .

About: Hi, my name is Taylor! I am a recent high school graduate who will be attending NC State University in the fall to study Animal Science. I have past experience with pet sitting, often for longer than a week. Along with that, I have over a year of experience shadowing at a local veterinary hospital. I also have experience taking care of my own fur babies at home! I would love to spread love and care to your pets if you’ll have me. Please reach out if interested! I currently work part-time at Chick-fil-a, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies! I have a flexible and light schedule which allows me to dedicate a lot of my time to the animals around me. When at a client’s home I love to curl up with a good book and a sweet cat. I also enjoy taking pups on walks and playing fetch or tug with them. I am always down to cuddle with any furry friend.

Ashley was absolutely amazing! Our pup adored her and looked forward to every visit. She was so accommodating we added an extra day. She sent tons of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We don’t leave him often, but knowing he was safe, happy, and cared for made all the difference. The comfort and reassurance Ashley provided were truly invaluable.

This is Ashley Sarah's second time sitting for us and she did as wonderfully as the first time. She even noticed a couple of things I forgot to do in my rush to leave and fixed things up. My animals are well-fed and safe! All I can ask for!

About: I adore dogs. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have house broken puppies and taken care of senior dogs and all ages in between. I know how to give medication to dogs, both oral and injections. I love playing with dogs and taking them outside to run around! I used to volunteer at the Humane Society and took care of the dogs there. I also fostered dogs until they could be placed in a good home. I have a part time job with flexible hours so I’m free a lot. I can usually take a new pet sitting job on one day notice. I’ll take very good care of your fur babies! I will feed them, take them out for walks and potty breaks, give treats as allowed and play with them as much as they want. If they let me I’ll snuggle with them too! I also take care of cats and I’ll feed them, scoop litter boxes, give treats as allowed, play with them and snuggle if they let me. I also have a lot of experience with smaller animals like rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, Guinea pigs, and fancy rats! I can feed them, clean their cages and play with them if it’s ok with the owner. I have experience giving oral medication and injections to smaller animals. I can take care of birds and fish as well. I will give your babies loads of attention and affection! We will have fun together! If I’m house sitting I’ll be glad to water plants and bring your mail in if you want. I’ll take pictures of your fur babies every day and send them to you, whether I’m there for a drop in visit or house sitting.

About: I have background in the animal control field where I was an officer and also work for veterinary services within gaston county. Your pet will be treated like family here, animals are a huge part of my life. I have had almost every possible animal, horses, cows, cats, dogs, large and small, chickens, pigs, and even fish. I love them all. I do work 4 days during the week but am home the majority of the time to spend with your furrbabies. They will be let out in the morning before I leave for work on those days and immediately after I've arrived back home. I only work 8 hour days and outside of that I'm home the rest of the time. My yard is not fenced in but i live on a cul de sac, horse pasture and cow pasture and tree farm on 3 sides .. i prefer to walk dogs on a leash while outside ( just in case) but if they seem to be well behaved and trust worthy i may play fetch with them and my frenchie in the back yard , there are only 2 houses on my road so we do have lots of privacy. Your furrbabies will stay inside with me.

Our cat is not the sweetest but Blakely is ☺️! She taken really good care of our cranky cat Kitz, even though Kitz mostly hisses at her. She’s very responsive whenever we have questions and sends pictures so we know she’s okay. We’re so happy we found a new cat sitter we can trust. Thank you Blakely!!!

About: I have a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State University and have a passion for taking care of animals in order for them to feel their best every day! I have taken care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes and my family raised 8 German Shepard pups after breeding our family dog. My father is a horse trainer and since graduating from college I partake in their nutritional care as well as physical wellbeing from riding to outside time. My family has 3 dogs and a cat that I take care of daily, with 2 of the dogs outside they must have flea and tick baths and medication as well as brushing when shedding occurs. I provide house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking which will create a personal relationship with the animals I take care of. In the client's home I am sure to follow all notes left by the owners and make sure that the animals feel a sense of normality each day and night. Allowing animals to have the option of play as well as rest is important so the animals do not feel I am intruding in their space.

No need to look further, choose Emily, she is absolutely fantastic. Now we too know why she has so many "customers". We have Ring cameras throughout our home and outside and saw that our cats loved her and she was like a new best friend. Some even came to greet her in the driveway. She took great care of them and kept the house smelling perfect (anyone with cats knows is something you have to stay on top of). Now we are confident that we can travel and our home and pets are in great care with Emily.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Shelby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shelby on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 July 2026, there are 559 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:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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.
