“Sady was great to work with. Very good on communication and Lola loved her. Appreciated that she corrected Lola's behavior, and she did everything to accommodate last minute travel issues that delayed my return. Would have sady watch Lola again.”
“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!”
“Hope did a wonderful job checking in on my Marca. Sent a bunch of pictures for me and communicated clearly what she did while at my place. Would book again!”
“Natalee always does a great job. This time she was observamt and noticed some health issues with our cat. This helped us to promptly respond and get him the care he needed. Thank you Natalee!”
“My cats were in good hands with Katie checking in on them and spending some time with them as well! She even left some cute treats and toys for them. Katie went above and beyond and also collected my mail while I was out of town. I’ll definitely Italy be reaching back out next time I need a sitter.”
“Lauryn is fabulous as a pet sitter! Her calm but fun presence was just what our dogs respond to well! She sent so many great pictures capturing what was happening while we were away. Baxter is not initially warm and friendly and he was cuddling in her lap in no time. She knows animals of all kinds! She handled all their needs including the three times a day medication Baxter needs.”
About: Before I became an expert at keeping my 9-year-old on a schedule, I was already mastering the art of happy pets! As a lifelong animal lover and mom to a pet-obsessed kiddo, I know that routines, patience, and lots of love go a long way. I’ve been caring for cats for over 10 years and have also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for just as long. I have an awesome and chill Tuxedo cat named Mittens who tends to get along which pretty much any other animal. Whether your pet loves zoomies, snuggles, bird watching from the window, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, belly rubs (if they’re into that!), and all the care they deserve. Every pet has their own personality, quirks, and preferences, and I love getting to know what makes them feel safe and happy. If your furry family member has any special accommodations, routines, or favorite toys, just let me know! My goal is to make sure they have a fun, comfortable stay while giving you complete peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work part-time, which allows me to have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pets. I love creating a calm routine with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding Friday through Sunday and am happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s needs and schedule are accommodated. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while they’re with me. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. I live in a calm, clean, smoke-free, two-bedroom apartment where pets can relax and feel at home. I do my best to create a low-stress environment and will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I live near a park, so dogs staying with us can enjoy regular walks, fresh air, and plenty of opportunities to explore. For cats, I’ll make sure they have a peaceful environment, enrichment, playtime, and lots of attention at their own pace. I’m also a mom to a wonderful 9-year-old who absolutely loves animals. She’s gentle, respectful, and never gets tired of playing or giving extra love to pets who enjoy human interaction. Of course, if your pet prefers quiet time or their own space, we always respect their boundaries and personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’m happy to accommodate their unique needs to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved during their stay.
“Gabbie is great! My pup is pretty shy and going through some health concerns. Gabbie was attentive to what my dog needs, has been consistently on-time and has built up trust with her in the span of a week. Sadie seems really excited when Gabbie comes by and seems to enjoy their mid-day play sessions!”
“Eleanor was fantastic. She reassured us with the report cars and photos. We have older cats so more concern about going on vacation. I highly recommend Eleanor as she clearly loves fur babies. Thank-you!!”
“Katie came every day right on time and reported back immediately about her visit. Our dog appears happy and healthy and we couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you katie. Loved the daily photos too.”
“Alyssa was very responsive and attentive! She even reached out to change drop-in dates to make sure she could see my cat before a big storm while I was traveling. Would highly recommend to any pet parents!”
About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for most of my life! I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I have been house/pet sitting for the last few years on my own but I'm trying to expand my client base and meet new furry friends! I also have lots of experience with cats! A large portion of my clients prefer overnight stays but I am willing to do drop ins as well. I'd love to hear from you soon. I currently work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. With notice I can make sure I am able to spend plenty of time with your babies! I have done some house sitting before and never had any complaints! I am also very responsive and I will take good care of your pets and your home. No worries!
“Samantha and Christopher were awesome! They took such good care of our 2 cats and sent us tons of pictures with a blurb for each visit telling us how they were doing. I would absolutely use them again!”
“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!”
“Lauren was great! She saved me from worrying about my cats. She was always on time with visits and provided information for every visit. I felt our cats were well cared for...clean and happy! We also looked forward to the daily pictures! Thank you!!!”

I can never say enough good things about Jennifer! Truly the best sitter you could have. Sharon assisted this time as well and is just as caring and detailed. They go above and beyond to make sure our kitties are not only fed but also happy and loved while we’re away.
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.
Maddie was wonderful taking care of my little cat Houdini this weekend! She stopped by exactly when she said she would and provided pictures showing me he had been fed and what they were up to that day. Very happy with Maddie's pet check-in services and will definitely be hiring her again in the future!
As always Heather is great with both our cats - the new one who loves to help her with all the activities she's doing (the litter, feeding, etc) and the old one chats to her the entire time about he can't believe we left him (AGAIN) with the new one who is now his cross to bear all by himself.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Shrewsbury on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,810 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shrewsbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shrewsbury stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shrewsbury. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
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.
