“Our babies were obviously very well cared for and the house was left super clean. Our animals were relaxing comfortably when we got home- literally zero signs of stress. Tori did a great job of keeping us updated every day which helped a lot with our peace of mind. She even brought our mail and packages in so they wouldn’t get rained on! Great experience, would absolutely recommend. It was easily one of our top Rover experiences since joining the app over 2 years ago.”
“Latasha was wonderful! She took excellent care of my baby and really went above and beyond. She was so great with my girl and it was so reassuring to leave my dog in her care. Book her now, you won't regret it.”
“Ross was wonderful. Frequent communication, pictures of the doggo living his best life, and excellent pet care. He confidently handled my reactive dog who is not easy to walk. My house was neat and clean upon return, honestly could barely tell he had been here! Would absolutely book again or recommend to anyone.”
“We had an amazing experience with Jenna! She was communicative throughout the stay, sending updates that really put us at ease. The dogs seemed happy, relaxed and well-loved! It is clear Jenna loves dogs and took care of ours like they were her own! She also house-sat for us and left everything spotless. We came home to a vacuumed, clean house and couldn’t have been happier. We’re so grateful for the care she showed our pups and our home. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! Highly recommend.”
“Alicia was very polite, responsible, and friendly. She kept us updated with photos and texts during our absence . The dogs seem to love her and I would definitely recommend her service.”
“Lauryn was fantastic! She sent us photos and updates while we were on vacation, and she was responsive to messages. We will definitely book her again the next time we go on vacation!”
“Cara is amazing and Hazel absolutely loved her! Communication was perfect and lov3d the pictures, thank you! We will definitely be requesting Cara again! Enthusiastically recommend!”
“Marsha cared and entertained our exuberant 1 year 3 month old King Charles/ Irish Setter for 5 days. She noticed a stick he had chewed got caught in the roof of his mouth and removed it quickly. She took charge quickly and communicated about Murphy’ care daily and reassured us with short videos. Our cat also benefitted from her expert care. I heartily recommend Marsha for house sitting and am grateful she watched over Murphy and our cat Chase. Thank you, Marsha.”
“Sarah did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Kobe! She was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Kobe looked so happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”
“Claire has been our best dog sitter to date- she did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and house while we were out of town for a week. She communicated frequently and was very understanding of our complex dog set up. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“We could not be happier with our decision to book Gabrielle. She stayed with our 10 week old puppy for 2 weeks and was amazing with him. She took him to a vet appointment, gave him medications, and went above and beyond our expectations. She was very communicative and was updating us with pictures and videos. We came home after a long trip to a spotless house. Couldn't recommend her more!”
“We are so grateful for Natalee - she stayed 12 days with our dog and has been an absolutely AMAZING person to work with. She was consistently communicating with us, sending us pictures and updates, and even was willing to deal with a unexpected pre-trip injury with our dog which left him in a cone + pain meds for the entire 12 days! We are so happy we have found Natalee because we can travel stress free and know our dog is in loving hands!”
“Devon did a wonderful job housesitting and taking care of my spoiled cat. She was prompt and attentive during our initial meet-and-greet and seemed very comfortable with what we needed for both the cat and the house. We returned after 11 days to a tidy home and and happy cat....which helps that vacation feeling linger a bit longer. I would definitely recommend Devon and use her services again in the future.”
“Allison was fantastic! Our two cats were so loved and she took the most professional photos of them to send to us. Our house was immaculate as well. Allison also went above and beyond to help us prepare for a snowstorm that would start as we returned. Would book her again and again.”
“Max was very dependable and prompt with any last minute needs that we needed help with. He was very pleasant work with and left the house in perfect condition and cleaned up when he left.”
“Bridget did a wonderful job with both our cat and dog. She went above and beyond with regards to sending photos, keeping us up to date on everything, and making sure our pets were happy. It was visible in the photos how comfy and content our pets were with her. She even did arts and crafts with them and took Letti to get ice cream. On top of all this, Bridget was watching our pets at a point where the cat and dog were getting used to living with one another, and she did a wonderful job giving them supervised interactions and continuing our socialization for both of them while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jeena had been the most amazing cat sitter. I have an anxiety-monkey cat who needs to be fed at very specific times, and Jeena has always fed them on the dot. She is incredibly communicative and responsive, checking in with me at each meal as requested. Jeena also leaves my apartment in pristine condition and with everything exactly as I left it—even though she stays overnight as needed with my kitties. Every time I have come home, the litter has been immaculately clean, as has been the garbage and the rest of the apartment. My cats also tell me that Jeena has been incredibly sweet and caring towards them, as is obvious by their demeanor when I return. Love the pictures of cuddling with the cats that put my mind at ease about leaving them with a sitter, thank you Jeena!”
“Bennett was fantastic! He was professional, communicative and truly looked after our lil pup. Having him taking care of our pet helped us have a great vacation. We will definitely work with Bennett in the future and he made a forever furry friend!”
About: I am a traveler who wants to spend weeks home with your pet!! I have owned dogs of all ages and know how to speak the language! Woof! I am extremely available when scheduled and will let you know otherwise. I make my own schedule so I am highly available when I am not traveling! Very flexible. Always honest about my availability and what I am able to provide. I am very good at reading what a dog needs and not lazy about it. Walk at 5 am? On it. Weird feeding times? Not a problem.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shrewsbury
Alexandra watched my German Shepherd and senior cat while I was away for a float trip over the weekend. Even though she knew I would be in an area with limited cell reception, she took the time to send pictures and updates a few times a day so they’d arrive when I did have service. I could tell that my printed care instructions were followed because they were checked off and notes added where needed. Alexandra also went the extra mile and took the time to brush my cat, strip the bedding off the bed, and leave a written note before she left. Would highly recommend Alexandra as a petsitter!
Julia stayed with my pup Fiona for 3 nights and was wonderful! Fiona took to her immediately, zooming around the when Julia came over for the meet and greet (an activity usually reserved for special friends and family). Julia was professional, responsive, and took care to leave my place tidy. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you Julia!
I feel fortunate to have found Anya on Rover to dog sit my beloved beagle for a week while I was on vacation. She did a great job, and I appreciated her sending me updates during the week on how my dog was doing. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend Anya!
Janina is the best. Her communication is second to none, including consistent updates with photos so we know our pups are well taken care of. Our two pups can be slow to warm, including our 90-pound boy. But they both took to Janina right away. When our plans changed last minute, she was very accommodating and went above and beyond. Plus she left our home cleaner than when we left. She’s the first person we’ll be reaching out to the next time we need someone to care for our pups!
Denita was the BEST dog sitter I've ever had! She cared for my dog so well, was communicative, and kept to her schedule (which has some flexibility, but I've had sitters in the past who have adjusted meals/being let out/etc by hours or been gone during important times, and it really throws a dog off). My puppy was very happy and content when I got home. I never had to worry that she wasn't being taken care of. She also left the house extremely clean.
Thank you to Alicia for taking great care of our cats and backyard chickens while we were out of town! I knew they were in great hands and I really appreciated the updates and photos. You even won the trust of our shy cat, something that takes most people a while. Thank you again for all of your effort and care for our crew!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,641 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.

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.
