“Emily is great! She was very attentive with our cats and they warmed up to her quickly. She loves animals and took great care of them while we were out of town. We def noticed a difference when we came home vs leaving them alone or just having a neighbor check on them. Would def recommend Emily and book her again!”
“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.”
“Kelly was a life saver for me and came on short notice to care for my pups when I had to be out of town. I'm so happy with the care she gave my pups, they were comfortable and happy when I got back. Thank you so much!!”
“Emmalyn is the best. She is caring, loving and absolutely amazing. What i love the most about her is how precise she is with my over detailed instructions. I have been traveling worry free for the past year and a half thanks to her.”
“Jennye is AMAZING! She was so patient and sweet with our not so little fur baby. She took great care of our St. Bernard. Arrow loved her and had the best time. Was super flexible and we can’t recommend her enough!”
“So grateful for Ashley Sarah. She took care of everything (including my ferals and chickens) and my animals look good. I had no worries about my guys while we were gone and will look for her the next time!”
“Mason was great- highly recommend! She was so prompt in answering my request and all my messages. I felt very comfortable on my trip knowing Penny was in good hands. She arrived right on time for her visits, sent so many cute pics, and kept me updated on Penny the whole time. I will def be booking again next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in the area!”
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.
“Our anti-social kitty likes her better than us! Allison is incredible!!! From the moment we met her for a meet & greet I knew she was perfect. We felt 100% comfortable with her coming in to our home, and knew our cats were in great hands. She’s responsible, great at communicating with us, and so sweet. She must be a cat whisperer because our shy kitty not only snuggled her day 1, but even let Allison rub her belly! We are so thankful to have such a wonderful professional do checkins/feeding while we were away.”
“Anne was amazing with our nervous 1 year old GSP puppy. She was patient and got him to relax and took him on a great walk! Thank you so much Anne!! ☺️ We will definitely have her look after him again in the future🩷”
“Trina takes the best care of my puppers when we are away. They always seem so happy to see her and we are ever so grateful for her help each time. She goes above and beyond to make sure their needs are met and they are looked after each visit! Thank you!!!! 😊”
“We couldn’t have taken our trip if we hadn’t of found Ruben! We have old, high maintenance dogs and he was perfect for us. He’s patient, experienced, dependable and just a really great sweet guy! Would absolutely recommend Ruben to anyone I know ;)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Shelby
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.

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

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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
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.
