“Thank you Gabriela! Charlie & Frank were well taken care of while we were away. We appreciate that we can count on you to show up and provide caring and attention :) . You have been so helpful”
About: I’ve had dogs by my side since childhood and spent years horseback riding — so caring for animals is second nature for me! I adore dogs and cats of all personalities, and I bring a fun and upbeat energy to every walk. Whether your pup loves adventures (parks, trails, hikes, and swims!) or prefers a calm and leisurely stroll, I make sure they are safe, happy, and having fun. My four year old mix, Opie, can vouche for all the fun adventures☺️ I’m a local educator with a flexible schedule — typically free throughout the summer, plus evenings and weekends during the school year. Because I live and work locally, fitting walks into my daily routine is easy, and I’m able to offer consistent, reliable care for your pets. I often find myself heading home on my lunch breaks to give my own pup some extra attention. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. My own yard is fully fenced in and always use secure leashes, follow your pet’s routine, and stay aware of surroundings during every walk. I’ve learned over the years just how important understanding your pets needs, warning signals, and comfort is, especially when out in public!
About: Since I was a kid my dream job was to be involved with animals. Whether it meant working at a shelter, studying to be a veterinarian or being a pet sitter, this field has always been my passion and I’m looking forward to expanding on my experience. As I shift into being home full time, I commit to working with my clients on a schedule that will work for the both of us. I’ll be making sure to give updates/check ins with the client as needed, and of course having the location clean at all times. Taking dogs on frequent walks
About: I am a reliable dog sitter for friends and family. I owned 2 of my own dogs in the past, a boxer and cocker spaniel mix. I have a pretty flexible/varied schedule. Please send me a message and we can definitely work something out to fit the needs of your pet! Whichever directions or specifications you have for your pet I will always do my best to follow them! I do not offer home services at the moment.
“I am very grateful to Kevin for watching our four dogs while we were out of town. He was very attentive and patient with all our questions. You could tell that the dogs felt very comfortable with him because of his kind, gentle nature. Thank you Kevin!”
About: My family has only adopted dogs from shelters, so I know the trials and tribulations that come with sweet pups who need love. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experienced many different behaviors. I am currently on summer break from school, so my availability is extremely flexible! I’m open to any time of day you may need. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer to have your dog treated. I will provide love, compassion, and kindness to gain both your trust and your dog’s.
“I’ve lost count how many times I’ve rebooked with Alison because she’s so great!! She sends the best updates and photos and I always feel at ease knowing she’s checking on my Millie ♥️”
“I’m a travel nurse so I work really long hours. Katie came and sat with my girl a little bit each day I was at work and went above and beyond to take care of my girl!! If I’m ever in her area again I will so be using her again to take care of Willow. She truly loved my dog and my dog loved her. At one point I flew home and my sitter called was I landed and unable to care for Willow. Katie stepped up and made a very stressful situation bearable!! She is amazing and I 10/10 recommend her to anyone!”
“Nicole has been fantastic with Avery and Cody. She's great with them, she's great at providing updates on every visit and we will be continuing to use her services as much as possible.”
“Lauren is absolute wonderful! It was my first time having her watch the babies and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter! Very responsive and has a passion and love for animals. Went above and beyond for us and can’t thank her enough!”
“Jessica was an amazing cat sitter for my cat, Meelo! She took such great care of him while I was away, stopping by every day to feed him, clean his litter, and make sure he was doing well. I really appreciated the frequent updates and adorable pictures she sent—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares for the pets she watches, and I would absolutely book her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shrewsbury
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Maya for a meet-and-greet, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She is incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. My dog took to them right away (and she’s a very anxious goldendoodle), which speaks volumes about their approach and care. I’m confident that my pup will be in great hands during their walks. She even sent me pictures & updated me on her walk. Highly recommend Maya!!!!!!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shrewsbury stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Shrewsbury choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Shrewsbury with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
