For a recent family vacation we used DogVacay for the first time. Mariann was an excellent introduction to the service. We received daily messages with images, so we always knew our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend.

Would highly recommend her. I left my dog with her for 10 days initially than extended to 12 days. She is prompt on responses and accommodating any special request. I am definitely going back to her

Swetha was fantastic! She made both me and Arthur (my dog) very comfortable in knowing that he would be well cared for while I was away, and he had a great time while there. Swetha was great about updating me with texts and pictures multiple times per day which put me at ease knowing Arthur was having a great time. I will definitely be reaching out to Swetha again in the future!

Aline was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We really appreciated all the photos she sent—they showed how happy and comfortable Coco was. She paid attention to every detail and made sure our baby was safe and happy the whole time. Coco had such a great time with her! I will definitely book Aline again in the future. Thank you so much, Aline!

Very grateful for Jen and her family for being able to accommodate and take care of my Oreo with very short notice! Jen was very responsive and provided daily updates with pics of how Oreo was doing the entire time I was away. I can tell he was loved and well taken cared of by Jen and her kids! Also love the fact that her property has a huge fenced-in backyard which provided a safe space for Oreo to run around in! I highly recommend Jen and would absolutely entrust Oreo with her and her family again in the future!

About: As the former Director of Operations for a no kill animal rescue in Texas, I have a huge fondness for furry creatures. After spending years caring for homeless pets in the Dallas and Worcester area as well as working as a veterinary technician and in an emergency room for animals, I'm looking to bring my skill set to your pet's home. I have experience handling shy and fearful pets, and am able to handle all medications and temperaments/quirks your pet may have. Even better, I'm ready to meet your fur baby today! My shelter residents were family while they stayed in my care, and your pet will be treated the same. While I'm first and foremost a feline lover, my time in rescue really engendered a love of dogs for me as well. I'm partial to large breeds, but have yet to find a face I can't love! Anxious pets are my specialty, and I have the patience needed to form new friendships with all of my fur friends. There's always time for furry friends, and luckily, my favorite activity is making sure your pets have everything they need to feel comfortable when their best friend has to be away. An animal's safety is my priority. Dogs without a fenced in yard will only be taken out on leash, and cats will not be allowed outdoors.

About: I've been a dog walker and pet sitter for 10+ years for family, friends, and clients. I have experience in veterinary medicine for 5+ years and have found a deep passion in caring for animals for my career. I'm a student so I have a variable schedule, but I am home often. I don't have a pet anymore, but it would bring me joy to treat your pet as if it were my own! I treat animals how they are used to being treated by their owners. If they need space, I give them space. If they need lots of attention, then I'm happy to provide that too!

I can't recommend Craig and Brianna highly enough. They looked after our dog, Oreo, for a week and provided exceptional care. Their frequent updates and photos showed just how comfortable and loved he was. It’s such a relief to find sitters who treat your pet as their own!

Tracee was great with our dog (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). Tracee and her family are very friendly, and you can tell how much they love animals. Tracee sent several updates with pictures during our trip, and it was very reassuring to know that our dog was settling in well and having a good time. Our dog was in great spirits when we picked her up. I will definitely be using Tracee again!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Shrewsbury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Shrewsbury on Rover is $77.7 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 3,422 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
