“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!”
“Natalee did a fantastic job with our nervous cat. Some pets take patience and understanding and she has both in spades. She provided great feedback and is who I will contact any time I need a pet sitter.”
“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!”
About: I have been a cat mom for 6 years and a dog mom of 2 years. I have two cats, one with a special diet, and two dogs, both with special needs of their own. I am very accustomed to taking care of fur babies of all shapes and sizes, with different needs and /personal preferences/ (my Lisa will not go number 2 without a walk and a treat lol). I do not discriminate when it comes to pets and am looking forward to meeting yours! I work varying hours throughout the week but have a 40 hour week schedule and I am always off on Saturdays and Sundays. I can be available in the mornings some days but will primarily be available in the evenings. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs and two friendly cats and a husband who is another animal lover like myself. I have rooms that can have doors shut if needed for space. I am used to easing animals into getting to know one another with treats and smells.
“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.”
“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!”
“Alicia took great care of my cats when I was out of town! She was punctual, respectful, and communicated well from the moment I sent the booking request. I came home to happy cats, highly recommended!”
“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!!!”
“Heather is always so wonderful with our two orange floofs! We always feel so much better about leaving them knowing she is visiting and taking care of them each day!”
“Katie did an incredible job with my dog Hank. Her attention to detail and what matters to you was amazing. Katie even brought in my packages and my trash bins from the curb. I would highly recommend you use Katie for your next pet needs as I will definitely be asking for her again. Thanks Katie you were exceptional.”
“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!”
“Brooke did a fabulous job caring for my pup Baxter in our home over the weekend. He’s very attached to his Mama and worries when a suitcase appears. Well, the photos Brooke sent me at each visit showed a very happy, playful pup who seemed to love her! I had a worry-free trip and Baxter made a lovely new buddy! My first time using Rover, and I’m hooked! I will 💯 hire Brooke next time I travel - she’s amazing.”
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!
“Hope is absolutely fantastic! My buddies love her. She is responsive, sent pictures and notes, and left my house as clean as she found it. We are using her again soon!”
“Thanks so much for taking such great care of the girls! I’ll definitely be reaching back out as we continue to move forward with transferring down to NC. Thanks!”
“This was my first time using Rover to have someone check on my dogs. I was a bit nervous of how it would go since my dogs get scared easily of new people, but Karen was very patient and attentive with them and overall did a fantastic job! She provided updates during each of the check ins and bonded with the dogs as the days went by. I would 100% recommend Karen as a dog sitter and if I need someone to watch my dogs again using Rover, Karen would be my first choice!”

I can leave town without worry because I know my cats will be taken care of by Samantha and Christopher. They always go above and beyond to take care of our cats. They also watch my family members senior dogs and do a great job. Also they send lots of pictures of the animals and give detailed updates which I really appreciate. 10/10, will absolutely book again
Janina was so good with our 3 cats. She followed instructions perfectly, and took the best pictures of them. I could enjoy my trip without worrying if they were being taken care of. She even got our shy boy to come around by the end. Definitely recommend her and will book her again!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Shrewsbury on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,789 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.
