Louca worked wonders for us and our super reactive miniature dachshund. His patience, knowledge, and professional and positive attitude were a huge relief after searching for and failing to find someone to look after our dog when we were away for short periods. Louca has given us so much hope for our little puppy’s future and we look forward to working with him again! Thank you Louca !!

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.

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 have booked Julia for countless walks because she takes excellent care of my puppy, ZuZu! She has always gone the extra mile to communicate with me and give ZuZu all the exercise and attention she needs. Zuzu is a very energetic dog and can be challenging to walk at times, but Julia has always been on top of doing what works best for her to get her energy out! She always sends plenty of pictures and makes sure ZuZu has what she needs before she leaves. She is awesome with having a flexible schedule and responding super quick to my last minute requests and schedule changes. I will absolutely keep using her to care for my girl!

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: I've been around cats my entire life and currently share my home with two cats, Oscar Wilde and Dorian Gray. Growing up, cats were always part of the family. One of my most memorable experiences was helping care for a mother cat and her seven kittens after we rescued them from my grandmother's farm. Since then, I've cared for many cats with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and needs. In addition to caring for cats, I've looked after dogs for friends and family, ranging from small Yorkiepoos to large German Shepherds. My experience includes walking dogs, providing daily care, staying in owners' homes for extended periods, and taking dogs on hikes and outdoor adventures to keep them active and engaged. I believe pets thrive with a balance of affection, play, consistency, and structure. Every pet has a unique personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one special while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently finishing my degree and preparing to start my professional career, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Outside of school, I help care for my nephews once a week and play volleyball a few times each week. Because my schedule is flexible, I can often accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including multiple drop-in visits throughout the day. I understand how important consistency and attention are for pets, and I'm happy to work with each client's schedule to ensure their pets receive the care, companionship, and routine they're used to while their owners are away. While I am unable to host pets in my home due to HOA restrictions, I am happy to care for pets in their own home where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. When house sitting, I make it a priority to follow each pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, playtime, and any household rules. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I also provide updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. In addition to pet care, I am happy to help with basic house-sitting tasks such as bringing in mail, watering plants, taking out trash, and helping maintain the home while you're away.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 6 years and dog walking for 8 years, caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, and genuinely caring looking after your animals. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and making pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and adapting to each animal’s unique needs and personality to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently enrolled in college, but have the summer free. I’ll have open availability and be free every day for walks, drop-ins, overnight care, or extended stays. I’m flexible with scheduling and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend care as needed. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment by following each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medications. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, prioritize safety at all times, and keep owners updated with photos and communication while they’re away.

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

About: Growing up, my family had around 6 dogs that I learned to care for quickly. Outside of that, I’ve dog sat for neighbors and extended relatives frequently. I’m especially a pro with senior dogs who need a little extra help. The needs of your dog come before anything else. All the basics (food, water, potty, and play) are my priority, but I also highly value all the little things that make your dog special. It may be that they’re a big dog with a lot of energy who needs long walks and park play time; you may have a small dog who likes a short trot around the block and cuddles. I want to get you know your animals and care for them the best I can. As a part time worker and part time student, my hours vary, but there is always time for pups and kitties! I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the evening and all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. In my experience with dogs, I’ve taken them on regular daily or every other day walks. Additionally, I have a fenced in yard they play in. With cats, I’ve always kept my indoors. As for both animals, I’m attentive with feeding, always making sure the animals are on a schedule that them.

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.

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 for Dog Walking in Shrewsbury on Rover is $27.75 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 9,055 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Shrewsbury.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
