“Ann does a great job with our cats and our dog and is very flexible. She is very loving to all of them. We have used Ann’s services several times!”
“Annie is awesome! She is always right on time and sends great pictures of our little Gooldendoodle, Cooper. You can just tell he has a blast when she is there. Annie is great with instructions and makes sure our 11 week old puppy gets a potty break, some lunch and a little play time all before she leaves. I recommend Annie to anyone looking for some help with puppies or dogs!”
“Xuni is extremely responsive, diligent, and caring to my dog. I always know my dog is happy because she actually eats her food when Xuni cares for her. She even kindly brought my recycling bins in for us! Highly recommend.”
“My dog is very nervous of new people, but Emma was awesome! She did absolutely everything to make Bailey comfortable and was very communicative. She even took time to give a little love to my kitties. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Cassie provided amazing care to our cats. She went above and beyond to make sure our cats were comfortable and well cared for. I would highly recommend Cassie for pet sitting!”
“Rebecka is the best with my little one. She is very knowledgeable about puppies and gives very good, detailed feedback. I wouldn't hesitate to book her! She is very accommodating with her schedule as well!”
“Briana was great! This was our first time using Rover, or any type of pet sitter. It gave us great piece of mind knowing our shy cat was taken care of, able to be in his own home and checked on daily. She even brought in packages and mail, and sent us photos of our cat when she could :) I’d recommend Briana whole heartedly and would work with her again in the future”
“Kim was wonderful but I am shocked at the cost of this service. It has doubled in cost since I last used it. I’m sorry, but charging me $9 for a second cat is insane. The food and time stay the same for one or two cats. The fees on top of the cost were ridiculous as well. What a shame. Such a great service and wonderful caretaker but pricing is not affordable.”
“10/10 recommend! Thank you for all your help Chris!”
“Jacqueline was so nice and had her first week with rocky. Rocky is a nervous boy as it is, and he was able to get comfortable with her pretty quick!”
“Virginia did an awesome job taking care of my pup! She took lots of pics and videos for me to ensure that my pup is taken cared of. Thank you so much for keeping my mind at ease!”
“Cassandra communicates well, she took the cutest pictures of our cat too. She really shows that she cares about the pet she's taking care of. Astro absolutely loved her and I cannot wait to hire her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I currently have a 7 year old golden retriever who might be the happiest dog in the world. I’d love to drop in and visit with and walk your dogs! My job is flexible and I work from home so if I can fit in a walk or visit for your pup I certainly will. My dog is spoiled with pets and love (and treats). I can accommodate your expectations for care. Whether it be a walk or feeding or just some good belly rubs.
“Jessica was an excellent sitter to our dog. She was very devoted and attentive. Very concerned about Trista, and gave her some extra time. I would highly recommend Jessica and use her again.”
“This is the second time my girls are in Jen's hands and they were so happy to see her. Jen took excellent care of my girls and stayed a little more to play with them.”
“Paulina is a great cat sitter! She was easy to communicate with and was happy to meet us and our cat before we hired her. She is reliable and gave our cat plenty of attention while we were away. Would absolutely hire her again. Thank you, Paulina!”
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 BLS CPR and Fear Free certified and have experience administering oral, IM and IV medication to dogs and cats. I currently have a very flexible schedule- during the weekdays, I am available before 10 am, during lunch (12-1), and after 330 pm every day. I am committed to creating a calm, safe environment for your pet. My family currently has a 3-year-old doodle and an almost 14-year-old Keeshond, so I’m familiar with both high-energy pups and senior pets.
“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: For all 21 years of my life I have owned pets. 2 dogs and 4 cats is the count so far. There is nothing that brings me more joy, peace, and passion than taking care of, and simply being around animals of any kind. The animal experience I put in the bio is reflective of my personal experience. Professionally I have volunteered for 6 months at a therapeutic animal farm and was responsible for chores for all farm animals. I also had a month stint doing a more intensive Workaway program where I did similar chores with larger animals. I am hoping to become more serious as an animal sitter and caretaker, with this being my first step to get there. I have experience with my own pup taking him on walks, administering medication orally, light grooming (mostly brushing), feeding (willing to cook them meals), and any other tasks you may need I am always willing to learn. I look forward to working with you and your furry friend soon! I’m currently working very part-time in a job that unexpectedly is not very reliable. I have plenty of downtime to take care of your pets and would only ever be gone for a few hours at a time if I was scheduled in for work. I am trying to make Rover a priority if I get frequent bookings here, so the animal will always come first. Unless specified through direct communication I am free during the week and weekends Depending on the service you officially decide I will include info about my own property as well: I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around in. There is a pool, so if your pet likes water, they can have at it! My dog lives between two homes, so if your pet is not good with other dogs he can always go to the other house and vice versa. I try to walk my dog every day when I am with him, and obviously maintain all the necessities such as food and always having water in his bowls. If there are any specific accommodations you need either at my house or yours I am always willing to consider options. Finally, if you feel like your pet does well with dogs and wants a friend to play with I am happy to bring him to your home for visits of any length.
About: I have cared for animals for 15+ years. I grew up with dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I am currently studying veterinary nursing and plan on taking my certification exam in 2026. I am open to dog walking and check-in visits in Shrewsbury and neighboring towns. I have time during most days to check in on pets and provide the care they need, wether it be a walk or administering medication. The two dogs we have have access to most of the house, but with supervision. There is almost always someone at home during the day, though we have a camera set up for when the pups are alone. They both gets walks and playtime.

I have also seen Danielle interact with her own dog and like many of us dog owners, she treats her dog as her child! Your dog would be lucky to spend time with Danielle!!”
