“Kim is professional, trustworthy, and gets along with our pet extremely well. Originally we were going to hire Kim for about three months due to our health but it’s stretched out almost 6 months now. We give Kim our highest recommendation.”

About: Hi there! I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From growing up with pets to helping out friends and family with their dogs and cats, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience giving pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’ve also volunteered at dog daycares and animal shelters, where I learned how to handle pets of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’m dedicated to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. I am currently working part time during the week but they are not long shifts so I will have a flexible schedule to be able to watch your pets. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. On walks, I make sure leashes are secure and choose safe routes that fit your dog’s pace and energy level. During drop in visits, I’ll refresh food and water, give plenty of love and attention, and ensure everything is safe and secure before I leave.

I’m very good at understanding, animals, body language, I know how to take care of reactive animals as well. I keep myself educated on all types of animals.

All of my animals are very well taken care of. I take my dogs out for walks daily. I’ll have them run in the field and play with them. I’m currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to play and walk your pets I can be available whenever you need me mornings nights whatever works best for your schedule. Just let me know. I’ll take your dog out whenever you need me too. I will bring them for nice long walks. I will make sure they use the restroom. I’ll play with them and help get all their energy out. I will make sure they are safe and that they’re not picking up anything off the ground. I will provide care.

“Our dog is a handful and Gabriela has done such an amazing job with him. She is incredibly patient and goes over the top to make sure Bruno is able to get all of his energy (and he has a LOT of it) out during their mid-day walks. She has even stayed over their allotted time if he needs a little extra time to get settled back in after their walk, giving him lots of water and treats to hold him over until we get home. So happy we found Gabriela!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! With over 15 years of hands-on animal care experience, including five years as a veterinary assistant and 12 years at an equestrian facility, I have cared for animals of many different species, sizes, and temperaments. I have also had my own pets at home over the years, which has deepened my understanding of the love, responsibility, and commitment that come with caring for animals. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, safety, and individualized care. I am comfortable handling animals in a variety of settings and understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine and needs. I treat every animal with kindness and respect and look forward to providing your pet with the same attentive, reliable care. 15+ Years of Compassionate, Reliable Animal Care I work remotely, which gives me flexibility in my daily schedule and allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Your pet’s safety and the care of your home are my top priorities. I take pride in being organized, detail-oriented, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I understand the importance of maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment while following your pet’s established routines and care instructions. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care while treating your home and pets with the same respect and attention I would my own.

About: I used to have a cat when I was little then we moved so we couldn’t. I’m getting a dog now to care for now. I currently have a daughter and I wanna be able to work from home and enjoy my daughter as well. Since I like animals this is good. I will take the pets for walks, feed them, play with them and just simply nurture them. They are just like kids they need love too.

About: I love all animals! I am a college teacher looking to spend more time with animals doing what I love! I enjoy helping families who are busy or going on vacation so they can feel safe and calm about their pets. I’ve always had animals growing up and I know how precious they are. For me, animals are like family and they deserve to be treated with the utmost attention and care. I take care of my two cats Mo and Enz at my home in Worcester. Teaching college part time allows me the flexibility to easily incorporate pet sitting into my schedule. I follow instructions closely and carefully. I will do my best to give the same level of care as you do for your own pets. Getting to know you and your pet is the most important first step. If we are doing check ins while you are at work or busy, I provide walks, play time, and feeding if it’s on schedule. If you’re away on vacation, I do more cleaning maintenance such as washing bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and keeping an eye on necessities to make sure everything is in stock.

“Chelsea was available for a last second booking and we could immediately see how comfortable she and our dog were with each other. Our pup is an 80lb, 9-month old dobie, and she wasn't phased by his size or when he tried to hump her when they met (haha, sorry about that). He seems to have had a great time with her for the officiap puppy sitting event, and we came home to a happy pup. We really appreciate her adaptability with the last second booking!”

About: I have never lived in a house without a dog in my 19 years and have therefore developed all the skills necessary to care for them. I love dogs so much and they complete my life. I am an incoming Freshman at Suffolk University and have open availability for the most part. When classes begin in September that is subject to change though. I have experience with walking anxious and or reactive dogs so be reassured that that is not and issue with me. Im experienced in cat care as well.

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

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 November 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 November 2026, there are 8,873 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 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 a map of the walking route, 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 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. 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.

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

  • 84% 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 Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
