“Gabbie is great! My pup is pretty shy and going through some health concerns.

Sadie seems really excited when Gabbie comes by and seems to enjoy their mid-day play sessions!”

“Katie looked after my 3 cats for drop in visits and was excellent! She was able to do medicine for the little one and everyone was happy when I got home.”
“We were Katie’s first Rover experience and she handled drop in visits for our 3 pups perfectly! She was prompt, communicative and friendly sending great updates and went above and beyond. We’d highly recommend utilizing Katie for all your Rover needs!”
“Alicia was great with my shy and anxious pup. She also agreed to check in on him last minute. I would definitely recommend her to watch your pups and will be using her services again. Thanks so much!”
“Samantha is awesome. She is reliable and our dogs bennie and ruby really enjoy being with her. She does a great job with follow up communications and photos. Thanks again Sam.”
“Heather was a Rock Star!! Smokey Bear developed a problem on the day we left on Vacation and after my son took him to our vet to diagnose the problem, she excelled at taking extra care of him - making sure he took his pills and everything else that was related to his problem. She has been his caregiver for several years and he's so fond of her that when we come back home he barely notices!! She's a wonder.”
“Hope is absolutely fantastic! My buddies love her. She is responsive, sent pictures and notes, and left my house as clean as she found it. We are using her again soon!”
“I booked Allison for a dog walking and visit with my pup Tucker. She was very quick to respond and updated me throughout her visit. Tucker was happy to have a friend and would recommend Allison!”
“This was my first time using Rover to have someone check on my dogs. I was a bit nervous of how it would go since my dogs get scared easily of new people, but Karen was very patient and attentive with them and overall did a fantastic job! She provided updates during each of the check ins and bonded with the dogs as the days went by. I would 100% recommend Karen as a dog sitter and if I need someone to watch my dogs again using Rover, Karen would be my first choice!”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter for since 2017, and using Rover since 2022, and I absolutely love taking care of animals! From playful pups to independent kitties, I’ve had the pleasure of looking after pets of all kinds. As a lifelong animal lover and a pet-mom, I know how important it is to provide pets with the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I am a full time biology student at UMSL. As long as it fits to my school schedule, I am flexible for your pet(s)' needs! I take care of your pets in their own home because I have 2 kitties, I am not able to offer in my home right now. I follow your pet(s)' routine to ensure they feel familiar and at ease in their space.

I can leave town without worry because I know my cats will be taken care of by Samantha and Christopher. They always go above and beyond to take care of our cats. They also watch my family members senior dogs and do a great job. Also they send lots of pictures of the animals and give detailed updates which I really appreciate. 10/10, will absolutely book again
Janina was so good with our 3 cats. She followed instructions perfectly, and took the best pictures of them. I could enjoy my trip without worrying if they were being taken care of. She even got our shy boy to come around by the end. Definitely recommend her and will book her again!
Kristyn did a phenomenal job watching our boys while we were out of town. Her daily drop-ins came with excellent communication and great photos, giving us total peace of mind. She is thorough, professional, and completely reliable. We will absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shrewsbury on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
