“Julie was so great with our dog Siena. Siena can be a bit anxious, and Julie was so caring and great with her and made her feel right at home. Great communicator, got lovely pictures and updates while we were away, we couldn’t be happier with Julie!”

“Sandra was simply amazing - we couldn't have asked for more. Our family was going out of town for a long weekend, and we couldn't bring our (75 lb) fur baby with us. Having never used Rover before, we were unsure of how the process of trying to find someone to watch him on relatively short notice would go. We found Sandra's profile, thought she would be a good fit, and sent a message. Sandra replied extremely promptly (in under 30 minutes!), and provided a lot of helpful details about her availability during the dates we requested. She was extremely transparent and upfront about the service she could provide and the constraints she had, which very much put us at ease. After trading a few messages and deciding this was very likely a good fit, we arranged for a phone call to discuss details. We spoke for 20-30 minutes, in which it became exceedingly obvious that Sandra has had lots of experience with dogs, and understands that each dog is unique. She asked all the right questions about food, medicine, schedule, routine, kids, other dogs, etc. At this point, we really had no concerns, but decided to do an in-person meet-and-greet at her place as she was close by. She showed us around and gave us a sense of what a typical day would look like with our pup. Everything seemed great, so we decided to move forward. While Sandra was watching our dog, she sent regular updates (with cute photos!) reassuring us that he was doing well and having a good time. When we went to pick him up at the end of the weekend, it was clear that he had really taken to Sandra and was extremely comfortable around her. Sandra gave us a detailed rundown of how the weekend had gone, and shared some things she had noticed (e.g., our dog didn't seem interested in breakfast one day). We would book with Sandra again in a heartbeat!!”

“It was so nice to be able to go on vacation without worrying about Tootsie for the first time! I mean not a single worry! Makes for a much better vacation! Leslie was so nice and patient! It took Tootsie a day to settle in and once she was I know tootsie was very comfortable. She sent daily pictures and updates which gave me further assurance. You just don’t get that from a boarding place even though they promise that. Tootsie is a rather “needy” dog but like a 2nd child. I could tell she was well taken care of. I would not hesitate to call Leslie again and if you are reading this review, rest assured your dog will be in great hands! Thanks Leslie!!”

About: Started dog sitting when I was living in Canada and have missed it since. Especially love young pups who enjoy stimulation and having a good routine. My 2 pups would be excited to welcome anyone to join our little adventure. I work from home unless called into the office. I love bringing my (or any) dogs with me since I spend most of my time in the outdoors during the weekend (camping, hiking, simply enjoying walks). Lunch & evening time is for walks when the weather is friendly. Otherwise, mental stimulation at home! Happy to tailor my care depending on each of my client. I usually feed & train dogs separately especially when they are new to prevent resource guarding. Dogs are allowed on furniture/ bed and my pups are trained to sleep in their crate if need be to give more space for visiting dogs to feel more comfortable at our home.

It was our first time leaving him with a sitter and he’s pretty anxious but he even got along well with her dog who apparently usually loves playing but understood that our dog needed his space. She was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly. We will definitely use her services again!”

About: Hi, my name is Asia. I am an animal owner, caretaker, enthusiast, and most importantly LOVER! I have been in the pet industry for quite some time now, and along my journey have picked up many skills in pet caretaking and handling. I have knowledge in areas of medicine, handling, care taking, walking, and FUN! Through my journey, I have worked as a veterinary technician for about five years, and after the pandemic, with time realized that I wanted to see more happy animals than hurt. Although it is an indescribable reward to see and help our beloved pets heal, it is a heavy toll to bare that I have recognized is not what I wanted to continue growing a career in. Instead, I have decided to venture into an entrepreneurial life, with hopes of opening up my own pet spa and hotel, to care and treat your furry angels, while you and the family are away. My goal is to expand my expertise, and use this platform to build up a steady clientele list to transfer over to my future establishment *manifesting!*. I have a strong love and passion for all animals of all species and sizes. I have 10 years of hands on animal experience. I attended Worcester Tech for high school, and graduated with an AVA through the veterinary assisting program. I then got hired by my co-opportunity job site through high school, and continued to work there as I was being trained in veterinary technician schools. I then moved to Colorado, for a few months, and worked as a veterinary technician at an emergency/GP for eight months, being trained in more and more technical skills. I now try and take continuing education courses, and educate myself on the veterinary world as well as zoology, to try and work around my extenuating circumstances currently prohibiting me from school. I am knowledgeable of the different diseases your furry friends may have, as well as how to properly manage and care for them. I get my work schedules a month in advance and try to be as flexible as possible so don’t hesitate to reach with any questions. I believe I can be the perfect fit as a caregiver to all of your furry legged friends, due to my experience, passion, and a positive attitude. Any questions that you have, feel free to ask, and I'm excited to work with you and beloved pet(s). When your pets are in my care, they will be closely monitored with care. We’ll get to know each, spend time together, go slow if we have to, and overall get acclimated to one another to create an overall stress free experience for everyone, during the times we are together I am pretty flexible, however the sooner the better. Most of the time, I am able to adjust my schedule to align with my bookings. First come, first serve. I will keep a close eye and watch on your furry loved ones at all times. I pay close attention to behavior and body language during all visits, as those are key take aways

“Outstanding experience with Pat. I had her stay at the house and watch the dog. It is the first time I’ve done that. It was a game changer. In no small part due to the care and precaution Pat took. She came by in advance to get to know my dog and how the house worked. She asked all the right detailed questions. Things I hadn’t thought of! And then at time of transition, she ran through and tested that everything worked as she thought. Pat kept me informed both days. Made me aware of anything of concern. Inn this case GI distress on one of his walks which is not uncommon for Marvel on first day of someone new. But I sure was pleased she let me know and she let me know that it cleared by a later walk. Pat seemed unflappable, capable and careful. My dog liked her a lot as some of the pictures we of my dog having a great time. Plus he was great when I returned as was the house and plants. I will definitely book Pat again. .”

If the chance to go away again occurs and she is available I would definitely reach out to her. She treated Rox like the princess she is, I am very thankful for her kindness and understanding.”

Melissa, Axl and family are wonderful people you can trust with your dog. I know my Shannon was well loved and cared for while with them. At pick up Shannon was happy to see me but I could also tell she was comfortable and really liked them. Melissa is very responsive with communication and sends pictures.

Carrington took such great care of our toy poodle, Teddy, while we were away from 7/06–7/13. She was wonderful from the very first meet-and-greet and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Teddy in her care. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Teddy was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Shrewsbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Shrewsbury is $78 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $134 per night. On Rover, sitters 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.

There are 3,384 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shrewsbury. About 90% of Shrewsbury sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
