“Nat was absolutely wonderful with my kitties! She spent quality time with them, played with them, and always sent me pictures and thoughtful updates about their disposition and how they were doing. She went the extra mile to learn exactly which food each kitty received and the best times to visit. She even rinsed out the wet-food cans before discarding them and ran the garbage disposal so the apartment wouldn’t smell like stale cat food. When I came home, everything was incredibly clean and smelled great—and, most importantly, my kitties were completely stress-free and well-adjusted, as though nothing had changed at all. That kind of care and peace of mind is priceless. Thanks so much, Nat! You’re the best cat sitter I’ve ever had!”
“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.”
“Hope is always our first choice cat sitter. She is consistently reliable, kind, communicative, and competent. We appreciate her so much. She even left a bonus toy for the cats during her last visit which they love!”
“Anya was amazing with our 14 week puppy. She knew exactly how to help us stay consistent with potty training and teething. She was communicative and always on time. We will miss having her when she goes back to school!”
“Kayla did great! My super high energy and anxiety dog loved her immediately and even shared her toys with Kayla. This is something she doesn't normally do with strangers.”
“This was our first booking with Rebecca for daily drop-in visits with Susie the cat. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! She bonded with Susie right away, is an excellent communicator, left my house super clean, and went above and beyond offering to blow storm debris off the driveway. Highly recommend. We will be booking again. ;-)”
“Coleman has been doing a great job checking on my father’s cat. My father is elderly and can’t bend down to fill the bowls or change the litter. Coleman has been consistent with the check ins and keeps me updated on how things are going. Thank you so much!”
About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!
“Ross did a great job with our two cats. He provided exactly the care we requested and spent time playing with our young cat to help her get out that pent up energy! He also provided superior communication. We greatly appreciated his sitting services”
About: Hi! My name is Ashley, and I am the ultimate dog lover! I have always had multiple dogs at a time growing up, so caring for dogs is embedded in me and everyone who knows me, can tell you I am all about dogs and am extremely knowledgeable and experienced. Something that sets me apart from the average walker is I have been a very active and avid volunteer at a local animal shelter (CARE STL) for about 6 years now. I’ve spent many hours walking and being around a wide variety of dog breeds and behaviors along with leash handling techniques, dog training, reading body language, and medical issues. I am very comfortable with reactive dogs as well and can safely manage them so that they can be comfortable and safe on their walks. My husband & I have 3 dogs of our own (two pit mixes and a chihuahua mix) and they are our world! I have dog sat for friends and family when they go on vacations, and I make sure their basic needs are met along with taking them for walks, playing fetch, enrichment activities, and caring for them as my own. Currently, my full time job is running a property management business with my husband. So my schedule is flexible and often times I can have last minute availability. I figure this will be a fun side gig for me that won’t actually feel like work! I also have a (human) nursing degree, so I am comfortable giving medical needs pups their medications if needed during visits. One of my pits is on immunotherapy injections for allergies so I am comfortable with injections as well. I look forward to meeting and spending time with your fur babies! I don’t have a set schedule due to the nature of my job, but I can be available anywhere form 3-5 days a week mid morning through late afternoon typically. For dog walking and drop in visits only. For drop in visits, I can play with your dog, let them out to potty, do enrichment activities, or just relax with them if that’s what they prefer. I can give any needed medications as well.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two lemon beagles, Hudson and Midas. I’ve also dog-sat for others multiple times and have plenty of hands-on experience with walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs. From daily routines to giving extra attention to senior dogs, I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I love being around animals and will treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m a student with a flexible schedule and classes Monday through Wednesday evenings at 6 PM. This leaves me available for pet care throughout most of the day, including walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their dog’s routine and needs. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I understand the importance of following feeding instructions, maintaining familiar routines, and making sure dogs feel comfortable in a new environment. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention, and keep you updated during visits so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.
“Reba went above and beyond to take care of my kitty over the holidays. She sent photos and updates every day, and I felt totally at ease while I was away knowing my cat was in such good hands. I couldn't recommend Reba more highly and look forward to booking her again!”
“Hayley is great. We just met. And she just met JP. She was aware enough to give JP her space because JP is very shy and sometimes scared. I definitely want to hire Hayley again. I will be requesting those dates soon.”

Maryanne was an absolute blessing. We needed a local sitter in a massive time of need and she was flexible, communicative, and attentive to details. And that’s before even the care of the dog came into play. She would send amazing updates even bringing food games and puzzles for my food driven dog. She would hang out with him and he really enjoyed her while we were away. I can’t recommend her more and I know in the future whenever I need her, she will be there. Thank you so much!
As always, Jenny was a star 🌟. My cat was recently put on thyroid medication & Jenny was more than willing to take that on, applying it on each visit (even enduring some protest from the “patient”). She provided the BEST updates after every visit (as usual) , noting any behavior changes, eating habits & “conversations” lol. I really couldnt be more grateful knowing Annabelle is always in good hands while I’m away. That peace of mind is invaluable 💓
Sarah is excellent! This marked the second time she watched my cat, and everything went smoothly. She offered plenty of affection and treats while consistently sending photos and videos throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend Sarah for your pet-sitting needs!
As always, the cats were only kind of glad to see us - Heather takes such good card of them - especially our old cat who can't see or hear well. And the house was spic and span! Always a pleasure to come home to our cats/house when Heather has been the sitter.
Phoebe was amazing! This was the first time we left our cat. She usually takes a bit to warm up to people, but she was cuddling with Phoebe on the first visit (which we could see from all the pics she took). Phoebe was dependable and trustworthy with full access to our apartment. Couldn’t recommend her enough!
I’ve never used Rover before so I was a bit nervous, but Katie was absolutely phenomenal. She provided great care to my two cats, who can be a bit skittish, but took to her right away and even cuddled with her. Katie provided timely updates with lots of photos. She even left my cats a goodie bag with their names on it!! I will definitely be scheduling Katie again. Highly recommend her services!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Shrewsbury is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,732 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shrewsbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
