“We are grateful to Paulina for responding to our last minute request for pet sitting. She did a great job taking care of our cats and gave us up-to-date info for each visit,”
“Holly was so professional and communicative. Responded nearly immediately and made a point to get to know our dogs and their space before committing to take care of them. She is exactly the type of person you want taking care of your pets. Would highly recommend Holly and will definitely use her in the future!”
“My cat Forrest gives Kim 4 paws up after she looked after him while his human was in Europe for 11 days! I would happily re-book with Kim because she is trustworthy, flexible, a great communicator and very observant. I am a first time Rover user and her pre-visit prior to accepting the booking put me at ease. I loved her Rover cards. During my trip I felt confident that my senior cat was doing well in her care. Book Kim and you will have no worries!”
“Kelly was great for drop in visits on our weekend away! She communicated well and sent great updates on our kitties and lizard. Would definitely book again and recommend to anyone in the area!”
“Julia took great care of our dogs! We have an older Jack Russell and a younger deaf & anxious Jack. They are wonderful dogs but require a little more work. Julia was wonderful with both. She sent updates and pictures and we could tell the dogs were comfortable and at ease with her. Julia came over earlier for a meet and greet and was very friendly & kind. We highly recommend her!”
About: Ive been around all different types of dogs my whole life and I’ve had my own dog for the past 4 years. I have lots of hands on experience with high energy and reactive dogs. Having a dog who can be a little more challenging has taught me to be more patient, attentive, aware. While I’m newer to professional dog walking, I’m very comfortable caring for dogs and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs! I’m a hairstylist with a flexible schedule throughout the week, which gives me time for walks and drop in visits. My availability varies by day, but I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet’s routine. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog is safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also comfortable with higher energy dogs and understand the importance of being aware of my surroundings while on walks.
“Lingwen was super responsive and communicative, it was great that she was able to accommodate a last minute request. She also did a great job with the drop-in visit and took great care of our cat, I would definitely recommend her!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Jen! She does a wonderful job taking such good care of our 14 year-old Chihuahua mix named Finnegan. Finnegan gets way more attention from Jen than we even give to her. !She loves all of her walks with Jennifer and loves to hang out on the couch with her. She’s been a lifesaver for us and we’re so grateful for her.”
About: Hi there! I’m a second-year veterinary student who loves animals. I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in a small animal clinic for the past two years, gaining hands-on experience with dogs and cats. I would love the chance to hang out with your furry friend! I am both CPR and Fear Free certified and have experience administering oral, IM and IV medication to dogs and cats. During the weekdays, I am available during lunch (12-1), and in the afternoon each day. My weekend availability is on a case-by-case basis so reach out! The first time I left my dog with a Rover sitter, it was nerve-racking. Trusting a stranger to care for your family member is a big deal, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. No question or detail is too small- I'm always happy to communicate to make sure you feel completely comfortable. I am committed to creating a safe, loving environment for your pet. Whether your dog wants to go on a long hike, play outside or curl up on the couch for extra pets, I'm happy to meet them exactly where they are.
“This was my 2nd time booking with Alison, I was so happy to know she was available for the time I was away again. She’s great to communicate with and always sends tons of photos during her visits 😊”
About: I’ve been the primary caregiver for my own dog, Nelson, and my family cat, Luna, for the past seven years. In addition, I started my own dog walking business over three years ago and have had the opportunity to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable administering medications with clear instructions, following detailed care routines, and making sure every pet receives the attention they deserve. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets the same way you do, you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog who needs a slower pace, or a cat who simply wants a calm companion while you’re away, I believe every animal deserves to be treated like family. I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine by completing my pre-veterinary coursework. This fall I’ll be returning to school part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. My goal isn’t just to watch your pet—it’s to become someone both you and your pet are excited to see again. Nothing means more to me than earning your trust and building lasting relationships with the families I work with. When you return home, I want you to feel completely confident that your pet was cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine love every single day. Although I’m unable to board pets in my own home, I have experience providing overnight house sitting and in-home pet care. I know how important it is for many pets to stay in the comfort of their own environment, and I’m always happy to care for them where they feel safest. Most importantly, I understand that when you leave your pet with someone, you’re placing an incredible amount of trust in them. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, loved, and receiving the same level of care they’re used to at home.
“Jessica is the best! I have used her a couple of times to care for my cat while I’m away. She is very communicative, takes great care of my cat, and goes the extra mile to take packages inside without even being asked. Jessica is great and any pet in her care will be well taken care of. Thanks Jessica!”
“Lauren was fantastic! She provided thorough reports of her drop-in visits to me along with pictures. For various reasons, I would say her engagement and work far exceeded my expectations. I would 100% book her again in the future when the need arises. I cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I have experience working with many different animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and even cattle. I love spending time with animals and currently working as a veterinary assistant at a small animal clinic. I have lots of experience pet sitting and dog walking and also have experience working around livestock so no dog is too big! Walking your dog will be of great enjoyment for both myself and your pet and I will work to create a bond between me and your pet so that we both make the most of our time. I can’t wait to work with you and your fur baby! I go to school full time, so pet sitting and dog walking is something I do on the side, so I can spend more time with animals! If possible I like to meet dogs for the first time with their owner around to lower their stress and slightly away from their home if possible (particularly if they are known to be protective of their homes).
“We had Ken for a 2 day house sit for our dog, Flash. In all of our years using Rover, we’ve rarely had a sitter who loves Flash as much (maybe more!) than we do. Ken even made a special late evening visit outside of those that were scheduled just to make sure Flash had a little extra love before bed. We came back to a tidy home and happy pooch. Will definitely have Ken back again!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Shrewsbury is €24

Kim was kind, helpful and conscientious and I think my cats loved her! We received pictures every day and she even brought in an unexpected parcel delivery from our stoop. I would highly recomment Kim to anyone looking for a caring, thoughtful and wonderful person to take care of your cats (or small dogs)! Thank you Kim!
I cannot say enough good things about Jen! She does a wonderful job taking such good care of our 14 year-old Chihuahua mix named Finnegan. Finnegan gets way more attention from Jen than we even give to her. !She loves all of her walks with Jennifer and loves to hang out on the couch with her. She’s been a lifesaver for us and we’re so grateful for her.
We have used Paulina’s services a few times now, and she is the best! She is very reliable and goes above and beyond the call of duty. Not only does she take great care of our cat, she looks after our home, too. She alerted us to a problem with our a/c and watched for our mail and when her booking is done she makes sure that we have returned. It puts our minds at ease when we travel knowing Paulina is there. We will use her services again and again.
Nicole was great with my cat Hallie! Hallie is a very sweet and loving cat, but also very skittish around strangers. In a few short days, Nicole was able to gain her trust and Hallie would hang out with her. Nicole was very quick with responding to messages, particularly when I had questions or concerns, especially when Hallie was found to have some health issues less than a week before I was going out of town. Hallie seemed much happier and more energetic when I came back than when I left. I attribute that to Nicole taking such great care of her.
Tessa checked in on my 16-year-old kitties for a week. She is kind, responsive, flexible, and a true animal-lover. It was evident in all of the visit photos that the cats were being well-loved and having a great time playing and getting pats! Tessa even went above and beyond by leaving our home spotless after some kitty pukey incidents! Lol. We could not be more pleased with the care she provided!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Shrewsbury on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,936 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shrewsbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shrewsbury stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shrewsbury. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
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 sitter.
