About: I have provided house, pet, and babysitting needs to clients and family friends for the past two years. I have additional availability and looking for more opportunities! I have a flexible schedule and I keep close track on what times I am available on a given day. I do not work full time which allows me to be more flexible. I have one dog, five guinea pigs, and fish. I love buying them toys and special treats. Snuggling with them on the couch and playing fetch!
About: I have had pets my whole life. I own two dogs, a crested gecko, and a leopard gecko. The dogs are two blue tick coonhounds and one is 11 while the other one is around 2. I love to rescue animals and try to help them get to know that humans aren't all bad. I can do senior care and medicine handling, since I've had senior dogs myself and they have needed medication. As a child, I would always try to help people that lost their dogs find them again. I love my animals and want to give love to your animals! I am working a part-time job at Goodwill as if right now. I don't know my schedule at work until a week beforehand, and sometimes it's even later than that. I stay with my pets at home a lot. I play with them, feed them, try to train them a bit if needed, reward them, and love on them of course! I will do the same for your pets if you need! I will definitely create a relationship with the animal before doing too much. I need them to trust me.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for co-workers for approximately 5 years but have been an animal lover my whole life! I don’t remember a time when my family did not own a pet! I work 3 12hr shifts a week and have plenty of time to keep your pets company before or after work or on my days off! I would prefer to watch your pets at your home but would not be opposed to keeping them with me! I have 2 cats and currently in the process of rebuilding our fence!
About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!
About: I've had animals my entire life. Dogs and cats! I take care of humans in the ER, and want to take care of my preferred kind of babies (fur babies) on my days off! I'm an RN! So I am working 3-4 shifts a week which leaves plenty of time to take care of fur babies on my days off! I will take care of my clients fur babies in ways that are preferred by the client! If that's stopping in for play time, snuggles, walks, etc! I can do it all!
“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”

About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.
About: I have experience with all types of dogs. I have helped raise puppies all the way until seniors. I love getting to share my love with your dogs! I’m an elementary school teacher and would love to spend my extra time loving on your furry friend. My golden retriever is always looking for a friend to play with! I would love to allow your dog to get some energy out during the day or help keep them in their routine while you are out of town!
About: I have 10 years experience caring for Dogs & Cats. I have had animals around me my whole life & I love caring for & working with them. I have trained puppies & supported older senior animals on their way out. My favorite activity is taking them on adventures outside, dependent on the animals temperament/style, some love dog parks, playing fetch, going for drives, hikes, and others just like a simple calm stroll. I also have experience watching & caring for more exotic pets such as reptiles, amphibians, snakes, and farm animals. Throughout my life I've had a few pets a Bearded Dragon, Ball Python, Cat, Dog, a horse, Chickens, and my siblings had pets as well that I helped care for. Whatever mini family member (or maybe not so mini) it is that you're looking to get care for I'm excited to meet them! At the moment I'm currently staying at home & doing this full time. When they're here all my attention will be available for your loved one. I have a small fenced in backyard that they're free to adventure in, though most their exercise will come from walks/the park as it's not that big. There are no children in the home.
About: Hi there! If you are new to booking with me please take the time to read it helps me and helps you! I’ve been on Rover since November 2024, but my experience with animals goes back much further — over six years of consistent pet care! I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and many other animals, and I truly love every moment of it At home, I have quite the crew myself — three dogs, two cats, fish, and my newest addition, a tortoise! I currently work full-time as a Pharmacy Technician, typically from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. I’m now on a 7-on / 7-off rotation, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available before or after my shifts for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting — as long as your pets are comfortable being on their own during my work hours. For house-sitting stays, I always make sure they’re well-fed, get outdoor time, and feel safe and loved before I head to work. Whenever you send me a booking request, I’ll let you know right away if your dates fall during my “work week.” I treat every pet like they’re one of my own, and I’m so grateful to everyone who’s trusted me with their furry (or scaly!) family members.

For house-sitting stays, I always make sure they’re well-fed, get outdoor time, and feel safe and loved before I head to work. When taking care of animals in other people's homes, I would prioritize their comfort and well-being by following specific instructions provided by the pet owner. I would ensure they have access to fresh water, appropriate food, and a clean living environment. Engaging in regular playtime and exercise would help keep them happy and active, while also providing companionship. I would also monitor their health and behavior closely, watching for any signs of distress or illness, and maintain open communication with the pet owner to keep them updated on their furry friends.

About: I am Happy and Joyful always and dogs deserve the happiest day as possible! They are the sweetest creatures on planet earth. It’s my pleasure to be there for them! I am the mom of two dogs and I’m currently a student online so I have availability all throughout the day seven days a week! My pets are allowed on the furniture, and they have dog beds and clean water bowls. They get homemade meals, we go on tons of walks in the summertime. They get new toys and fresh femur bones, biweekly and they are not just our pets. They are our family members.

About: I have been around animals all my life. I am a registered veterinary technician who has worked with all sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs. I work in a school district and am currently on summer vacation, so I have tons of availability to visit your pets and/or walk them during the day. My only unavailable time is Tuesdays after 5:30. I will always ensure the animal feels safe and loved. I will follow the same guidelines that their owners have set to ensure minimal confusion and anxiety.
About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.
“AMAZING! Spectacular! There isn’t a word to express how amazing Jason and Tania are! Kona was treated like a king :) Tania sent the best pictures and always let me know how Kona was feeling. She communicated every concern and showed how much she loves what she does. After a few walks she figured out his likes and dislikes and just let my pup do his thing whether that was rolling in the grass and just chilling or watching all the squirrels. Kona also LOVED Tania, you could tell by the pictures. I was always at ease knowing that Kona was being cared for so wonderfully. Not only are the best people ever, they are also extremely flexible and are amazing communicators. When ever I had a last minute walk needed or a change in schedule they were eager to help make that change. They will be Kona's number one choice for walks for life. ❤️”

About: I’ve spent my entire life loving and caring for animals. So much so that I’ve devoted my life to them. For the last 10 years I’ve worked as a registered veterinary technician. I’m able to handle any and all pets and anything your loved one might need. Please note that if you are planning on boarding with me I do have small children and cats, so a meet and greet is non negotiable and must be done before the stay. Please message me with any questions I’m very flexible with days and times. Basically I’m available more times than not since I only work part time away from home. Please feel free to message me with any questions on my schedule! In my house everyone is treated like family, lots of love, cuddles, and playtime. But please note, I do have two small children and cats. Due to some serious issues in the past, I do require a meet and greet first. If your pet is known to eat/ destroy blankets or toys please let me know so we can be prepared for their stay.
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I offer personalized care and attention that sets me apart from others. My passion for animals means I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel loved and secure while you're away. With flexible scheduling, daily updates, and a commitment to keeping your pets happy and healthy, you can trust that your furry friends are in the best hands. I have first hand experience with being an intern at a vet hospital and reliability that gives you peace of mind, knowing your pets are cared for by someone who truly understands their needs. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I spend time feeding, walking my dogs, playing with my cats, and taking care of the chickens and pig. Each day is filled with love and attention for all my pets! I care for pets in my home and my clients' homes by providing a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure that all pets have access to fresh water, food, and plenty of playtime. For dogs, I take them on regular walks and engage in fun activities. For cats, I love interactive play and cuddling. I also maintain a clean space, ensuring litter boxes are kept clean and living areas are free of hazards. I keep pet owners updated with photos and messages about their pets' well-being.

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 Shelbyville. 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.

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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shelbyville. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
