“I truly can’t say enough good things about Natalee. She has been such a blessing to our family and especially to our dogs. From the moment she stepped in, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. She’s attentive, reliable, and has such a calm, kind spirit that both of our dogs instantly connected with. She follows care instructions perfectly, keeps us updated, and always goes the extra mile. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pets like their own, but she absolutely does. I’m so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. She’s truly a gem!”
“We LOVE Tea!!!! Our boys looked so happy and relaxed in the photos and when we got home they were excited to see us but showed no signs of stress or desperation. Our home also felt warm, clean and smelled beautiful! Thank you Tea!! We hope you felt comfortable and happy in our home too ❤️”
“Jennifer and co were absolutely fantastic! I had a last minute request because my cat injured himself and needed extra care. Jennifer stayed with him, gave meds, and updated me with any changes. My other cat was also well loved and taken care of! I received many video and photo updates every night and I knew my babies were in good hands!!! I will definitely book again!”
“Marsha is complete magic! One of our dogs wasn’t eating and having accidents before we left to go out of town for a long weekend. By the time we got home Taco was consistently eating his meals and had NO accidents while we were away. Marsha is a super communicator and sent loads of photos. We could see how happy our dogs were with her there. We already re-booked with her for our next trip! Absolutely fantastic dog / house sitter!”
“If I could give Jeena 6 stars, I would! She took exceptional care and was very attentive to Henry. Not only did she keep our sweet guys happy, she left our home in immaculate shape. We will be happy to have Jenna care for Henry in the future.”
“She’s great!! Came over last minute to watch our Frenchie. Very responsive and left the house just like she found it. Sent us pics of the little fur baby and kept us up to speed on everything. Love her!”
“Our dog and cat thoroughly enjoyed their time with Samantha! She was prompt with her replies, she sent numerous photos and updates, left our house clean, and kept our babies happy! We will be requesting her services again in the near future.”
“Hayden did a good job taking care of Jack while I was out of town. She was very attentive to his needs and made me feel comfortable. Communication was good.”
“Not everyone loves Velcro dogs but Becca clearly gave our fur kids all the snuggles and pets they demanded. She was communicative, did a meet and greet ahead of time, and I would not hesitate to book her again! Gilly and Logan (and our house) were well taken care of!”
“Alicia was wonderful! She and our puppy, Brandy, got along great. Alicia sent pictures of Brandy everyday, took her on walks, watched over our house and let us know if there were any problems.”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“Mason was wonderful! He came over for a pre-meet and was very polite and was happy to do what we asked. BUT he went above and beyond walking the dogs, playing bubbles. Great communicator. Sent pics and videos. Had a small emergency and he handled it beautifully! So happy we found him!!!!”
“Ashley was amazing! It was a little rough for her and Cooper in the beginning but they both worked through Cooper's issues.I got updates several times a day which I loved. She made sure that Cooper felt safe which was my biggest priority and when she left I think my house was a little cleaner than when I left for vacation. I would definitely recommend Ashley and will be calling her again in the future.!!!”
“Alex helped watch our dogs last minute after our other dog sitter canceled. Very thankful they were available to help! Sent lots of pictures of Betty and Luna, could tell they were very well taken care of. Would use Alex again!”
“Ross was great! All of our pets were well taken care of the whole time we were out of town. Our dogs are very particular about their routines so it was great to find someone who could stay with them all weekend. We’re definitely making Ross our go to sitter when we leave town.”
“Ashley was very responsive and easy to book with! She showed up on time and sent various updates and our dogs were happy and healthy when we arrived home! Would recommend and definitely book again.”
“Jennifer was great caring for our energetic one year old. She walked her and also took care of all her needs as she is still training a bit. Our house was well taken care of like we never left. Thanks Jen!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shrewsbury
Allie is AMAZING. The best sitter that has taken care of my senior dog, Lacey. She was so attentive and intentional, following all of the medical specifics that I asked and used excellent judgement (e.g., thinking of the tempurature / time of day to walk Lacey). She communited often and thoroughly; and was very respectful of my home, even cleaned it and refreshed my linens before leaving. I highly highly recommend Allie for the care of you fur-family.
I came home to a happy dog and a clean house, this was great. Max took good care of my senior dog while we were away and also tended to a couple domestic surprises that occurred while we were gone, all with common sense and grace. Would definitely do this again.
Lauren was excellent! She arrived on time and sent updates on our pups as well as mail/packages that arrived while we were gone. She took great care of our girl and boy. I think they were both more sad she was gone than they were happy we were back! She was accommodating when our return was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances as well! She left our home clean and went above and beyond with washing towels and bedding before we returned. 10 out of 10 recommend Lauren for sitting!
Mallory was wonderful. Mister is an older dog who requires special love and she delivered. She sent Pictures and videos throughout my trip which I very much appreciated. Definitely at the top of m6 list for future sits. Thanks so much Mallory.. from Mister and me!
Chris was amazing! Great communication and some great pics of our pups enjoying their time with him. Our pups were relaxed and happy when we came home and our house was spotless. This was our first experience with Chris and Rover, but it most certainly will not be our last.
It's always kind of nerve-wracking to trust someone to care for your pets and your home when you're away, especially when you've had some not-so-great experiences in the past. Jenna was so nice at the meet and greet and I felt optimistic when we left town. She was very communicative and considerate while we were away! She sent daily updates and photos so I always knew the dogs were in good hands. I always try to make sure we leave the house clean and tidy when someone will be staying at our house, and Jenna left it just as she found it! It was such a relief to come home to happy pets, and a clean home. I would highly recommend Jenna for housesitting, and I will definitely rebook her in the future!
Brooke has watched our cats and more recently our bearded dragon. She has been amazing with our animals, even getting our senior cat to play with new toys. She is great at communicating updates and was even able to accommodate a last minute schedule change for our last booking.

FAQs for House Sitting - Shrewsbury
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shrewsbury on Rover is $36.6 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,684 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shrewsbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Shrewsbury walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Shrewsbury maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Shrewsbury choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shrewsbury. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
