“Sarah took great care of our golden retriever, Phoenix, while we took a brief vacation. He fit in well with her dog, and we got many great pictures from Sarah to update us while we were away. We were super comfortable with our dog's stay even though we had never left him with anyone before. I heartily recommend Sarah for you and your dog.”
“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”
“Jenna is amazing, She sent me pictures and updates on my baby.So I would always know that he was in good hands and when I picked him up.I don't think he wanted to come home.He wanted to stay!! Lol. We'll definitely rebook with her!”
“Benjamin was super quick in his communications and was flexible in drop off/pick up times. Buddy made himself right at home as was evident through the pics Benjamin sent to keep me updated. Buddy will be happy to stay with him in the future!”
“Ali is awesome! She’s super kind and quick to respond. She sent me pics while she had my baby and took good care of him.. my husband even forgot to grab the dry food when dropping him off so Ali saved the day with some of her own. So grateful to have someone to watch my older dog!”
“Another great stay at Shaina’s! Louie loved playing with Shaina, Imogen, and the other boarding dogs. Loved getting lots of pictures of Louie’s daily adventures!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Reba, she is awesome! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her after just a short meet and greet. Her dog is very friendly and great with other dogs. Reba kept us up to date the whole time and really welcomed Louie into her home. She went above and beyond and we are so thankful to have found her!”
“Buddy had a fantastic time with Judith! And I had a great trip knowing that Buddy was being cared for by such a wonderful person as Judith. She sent lots of photos and updates during his 10 day stay. I never had to wonder how it was going. I would highly recommend Judith to watch any dog!”
“Julia was the absolute best for my dog. Her laid back, calm, and kind personality was a huge hit with my older pup. Julia sent updates and pictures which put my mind at ease. I will definitely use her again. It was a wonderful experience.”
“Enzo had a great time with Christine and David! They sent lots of pictures and it looks like the dogs had a great time playing together! Would definitely recommend!”
“Laronna is a very friendly and warm dogsitter. We did a meet-and-greet first which went well, followed by leaving my dog with her for 4 nights. She got to play with Laronna's dog. She sent an update with pictures each night, which was appreciated while I was out of town. I plan to leave my dog with her again, since it worked out well.”
“I’ve had Karen watch my dog a couple of times, and each time has been fantastic. When I dropped off my dog for her second stay, she was so excited to see Karen and her dog, Squeak! It’s clear that my dog has built a great bond with them both. Karen sent daily photos, which I really appreciated—it was comforting to see my pup having such a great time! I can tell she feels loved, gets plenty of attention, and is well socialized during her stays. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in such good hands. Highly recommend Karen as a sitter!”
“I love that I got pictures during Tilly's stay here! Pick up and drop off time was up in the air on my end and Erika was very communicative and understanding. 10/10!”
“Shelly was such a great choice for our golden retriever Baker. He needed extra love and attention after a recent surgery and we felt reassured his stay here would be a good fit after meeting with Shelly. She communicated throughout Bakers stay and put our minds at ease that he was being well taken care of. We’ll definitely consider Shelly for future boarding needs.”
“Our two dogs stayed with Jane for several days, and she was super thoughtful and accommodating for their needs. Shen sent us pictures throughout their stay, and they were both happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. I will be looking to have Jane host our dogs in the future!”
“Lucy is a very kind and knowledgeable person and dog mom! Made my dog feel right at home, and made me feel at peace knowing I had a die-hard animal lover loving my dog like one of her own. Lucy is responsive, and sends lots of updates and pictures. Lucky to have found Lucy!! My dog can’t wait to go back!”
“Randy was so great! She was able to take care of Maggie with a little bit shorter notice, and went out of her way to make sure she had space to be outside even beyond her normal walks and playtime. I hope Randy is available next time I'm out of town!”

Alyse was amazing! Our pups came to her at the very last minute due to an issue with another sitter. She was very quick to respond and was very accommodating taking our booking at the last minute! She did a great job with our girls! They were very well taken care of, we received lots of photos and we received very meaningful updates so we knew exactly how our girls were doing! They were exhaused & stressed when they got there and you took them in, gave them a comfortable place to rest & relax, took the stress away from them & took great care of them! Thank you so much for stepping in and making what was a very bad situation with our other sitter to turning it around ensuring our girls were cared for and taken care of all while keeping us updated along the way during their time with you! Highly reccommend booking with Alyse for your pups!
Vikki and Dave were wonderful with my dog. They sent photos several times per day. I felt so at ease having him there. He had a wonderful time there. He has meds to take every day. Vikki did a great job giving them to him everyday! I will DEFINITELY take him there again!
Ashlie was awesome and 10,000% would take the pups back to her family to watch my babies! House was comfy and cozy feeling, pups loved kiddos around, got updates and quick responses. Biggest thing when we did the meet and greet I felt comfortable immediately with her as she was definitely a dog person and felt that trust right away with her! Thanks again gal and looking forward to any future trips to bring them to you!
Hayley and her family did an amazing job taking care of our Freckle! We are so grateful - it was a last minute booking and we couldn’t say enough positive things about Freckle’s time there. It was very clear she got some good play time in and enjoyed her stay. We felt very safe leaving her in Hayley’s hands. She found a great playmate in Dante too! Thanks guys!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch Marcie! She’s still a puppy (about 10 months old), so she definitely comes with all the energy, personality, and occasional toddler-like behavior that you would expect 😂. Caitlin and Adam were absolutely amazing with her! From the moment we dropped her off, we felt like she was in the best hands. They treated her like one of their own, gave her so much love and attention, and kept us updated throughout her stay. Communication was wonderful, and it was so reassuring to know she was not only being well cared for but genuinely loved and treated like family. You can tell when someone truly loves animals, and this family absolutely does. We are so grateful for the care they gave Marcie and would recommend them a million times over. We will absolutely be using them again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shrewsbury is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $53 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Shrewsbury can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shrewsbury home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Shrewsbury.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shrewsbury. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
You and your Shrewsbury sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
