In addition to cleaning the cages, bathing and playing with the animals, you would also be feeding and watering them and giving them any needed medications. If you are working with the dogs, you would walk them (provided there is an area to do this at your shelter). Sometimes you might help with loading up/transporting/etc the animals to the Veterinarian for check ups, spay/neuters or to be euthanized. You would also be helping by doing "chores" such as sweeping, mopping, washing dishes, etc.

If you like animals, you would like MOST of the aspects of volunteering - and most shelters really need the help of caring volunteers.
