About: Hi! My name is Katie, and I'm a 4th-year medical student excited to help care for your pups! I grew up with dogs and have spent years caring for my parents' and sister's dogs. I still dogsit for them when they go away, and we always have a blast together! I'm responsible, attentive, and happy to give your pup lots of love and attention while you're away. I look forward to meeting your furry family members! As a 4th-year medical student, I have flexibility in my schedule and am looking for part-time opportunities to spend time with and care for dogs. I'm happy to coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works for everyone, whether that's regular walks, drop-in visits, or pet sitting while you're away! I know that dogs are part of the family, and I want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pups are in good hands. Having grown up with dogs and cared for my parents' and sister's dogs for years, I'm familiar with the responsibility that comes with keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable. I'll follow your instructions closely, respect your dog's routine, and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I'm also happy to keep you updated while spending time with your pup!

About: I grew up with dogs in the house and helped my family raised a service dog in high school, which is when we fell in love with Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs and now own twelve of them! Between caring for our dogs and working in pet care for ten years I am very confident with dogs of all sizes, ages and have experience with medically complex dogs as well as reactive dogs (whether fear, overexcitement or other reasons) and am happy to work with my clients to provide the best care for all dogs! Pet care is my full time job so I am able to be very flexible to fit my clients needs. I arrange my walking schedules to allow time for dropping in if I have any sittings booked, so everyone has the time they need from me while in my care. While caring for a pet in their home I make sure to ask the owners for any and all info on the dog I may need, and learn their pets schedule so I can keep their routine as close to normal as possible while they're in my care

“Ivan is an excellent dog sitter. He obviously loves dogs and he was attentive, calm, and thoughtful in his care. This was my first time using a dog sitter for taking my dog for walks, and I couldn't have gotten luckier in choosing Ivan to take my dog to the park and care obout my pet. Ivan takes the responsibility seriously and understands my dog behavior rather than treating it as a checklist. My dog usually has the anxieties. Ivan found the way to calm my dog and communicate with wonderful care. After couple walks withIvan my dog is very excited, waiting for Ivan to come and go to the park. Ivan isd professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. I felt confident leaving my dog in his care and would not hesitate to book Ivan again. I am highly recommend Ivan service.”

“We originally asked Caroline if she could walk and feed our two dogs as we were planning to a long day trip. However, we woke up to find our oldest dog not doing very well. It turned out that he had cancer and that we would have to put him down. It was a long agonizing day trying of running tests and considering options before finally deciding that the most humane treatment would be to euthanize. Through all this, we are thankful to Caroline who took care of our remaining fur children--a dog and a cat. It was a great relief to not have to think or worry about them so we could focus on our oldest dog in his time of need.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since before middle school. Everyday after school growing up I’d take care of our foster animal, giving them attention, feeding/water, CLEANING (so much!), administering medication like pills or injections like insulin are things I am more than comfortable with. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare and kennel so I am experienced with working with various dog breeds and understand the needs of every dog is different, but nonetheless must be met! I am currently available at anytime during any day of the week! My schedule does not interfere with the needs of your pet and I can accommodate to you. I treat clients home as if it were my own. Leaving it as it was, caring for the pet and keeping the environment clean and homey!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats in my house since I was born and I’ve always been a part of walking, feeding, bathing, playing with, and giving meds to them. I have taken care of my dog who is elderly, has worn diapers and has experienced surgery and anesthetics. I really enjoy being around animals of all kinds! I only work about 1-3 hourly per day! I’m always around to hang out and play with pets. I always will have someone around the pets so they’ll never be alone. I know a lot of the behavioral signs of discomfort in animals, I always want the pets I’m working with to enjoy their time. I will always make sure a pet is in a safe and fitting environment for their needs. I have worked with pets who are sick, directly after surgery, and who need medication administered

About: I grew up with a dog from the age 3-16! My best friend has a Boxer and I've been taking care and watching him frequently since he was a puppy! I also worked at an office where the owners had two dogs, a small chihuahua and a greater Swiss mountain dog. I took them out for frequent walks & fed them, as well as watched them when the owners weren't around. I'm currently a Stay-Home-Mother. My son is 3 years old, so the pet must be toddler friendly. I am home most weekdays. I can be busy on weekends, but if I have an early heads-up, I can accommodate. I am flexible during the week and have a car to drive to my client's houses! I am willing to stop by and feed, play and walk your pet.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs since birth- literally. My first dog used to sleep in my crib with me! I’ve had 12 dogs so far throughout my life, and each one has taught me important lessons about love and responsibility. I couldn’t imagine my life without them. I’ve had dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I can safely administer medications, provide happy and fun play time, snuggle up on the couch with your pet, and tailor individualized needs based on your requests. I truly enjoy meeting and caring for dogs, and would love to meet yours :) I work full time as a night shift registered nurse and home care nurse in the greater boston area, and would like to make some extra money doing what I love; being around animals. My schedule is different every week, so my availability is very flexible! I am also home during the day when lots of people are away, and work when the world is asleep! I am adaptable to any environment, needs, or requirements for your pet. I am comfortable walking, crating, training, feeding, and administering meds to your pet! All I require is written or typed instructions to ensure it’s done properly and safely!

Mattie has been such an amazing find for us! She has been a perfect fit for both Rocky and Milo. He warmed up to her so quickly and always comes back happy and well taken care of. Even my cat is obsessed with her now, mainly because she brings the good lobster treats 😂. It’s such a relief knowing my pets are in such kind and trustworthy hands. Especially, with her vet background, i feel so comfortable with her. highly recommend her!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Shrewsbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Shrewsbury is $28 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $43 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 8,967 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Shrewsbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Shrewsbury. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Shrewsbury after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 , 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shrewsbury. On Rover:

  • 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
