About: Hi, my name is Amber! I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have been set on becoming a veterinarian since I was young. I have 3 cats of my own, and have experience watching dogs. I have experience in giving my senior cat his medication. I am looking forward to being a safe provider for you and your furry friend!! :)) Pet care fits into my routine every day as I am responsible for feeding them and cleaning their litter boxes. My life is centered around my animals. I do everything I can to provide them with the best life they can have. I am responsible for caring for my cats at home. I feed them, change their litter, give them medication, clean up after them, play with them, and give them unconditional love.

Ruth is one of the nicest, happiest people that I have ever met. My husband and I felt very comfortable giving her a key to our home for use during our vacation. She was good with our cat, and she followed all of our requests, including to send us daily photos. We are so fortunate to have found her, and we would definitely use her again as our pet sitter!

About: I've been trained as a dog groomer for about a year and a half, so if your dog needs maintenance on its coat I'd be more than happy to help. I've worked with many kinds of dogs from 4 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. I also have a senior dog, a yellow Labrador, 13 yrs. I'm currently on pursuit for a part time job, so have more time to take care of any animals right now! The only day that doesn't work for me is Sunday or anytime after 6:30 pm on Thursdays and Fridays. I would love to know your pets daily routine, likes and dislikes in order to provide the best service I can for your furry friend.

Karren did a wonderful job caring for our senior dog Daisy while we were away. She sent us photos and detailed reports after every visit, which were so wonderful to receive. In addition to feeding and watering and letting Daisy out for pees and poops, Karren administered Daisy's medication, cleaned up a mess, and brought in our packages. We will most definitely use her again.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I've provided overnight care in clients' homes for multiple days at a time, walked dogs regularly, and cared for pets while owners are away. I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and affection while keeping them on their normal schedule. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I am currently working Monday-Thursday from 9 am - 4 pm. I am available before that shift, and after! I am also available on the weekends anytime! For my home, I do not bring other people's pets into my house because I have a dog, who is friendly, but he is old and grouchy. In my client's home, I care for the pets in whatever way their owner needs and more. I love walking and playing, and will do everything to make your pet comfortable and happy!

About: Since as long as I can remember I have owned and been around dogs. I even taught my own dogs how to swim! I currently work at a pet resort where I interact with all different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. I value showing dogs love and comfort. I’d love to do the same for your pets! Pet care can fit into my schedule around my college classes that leave me with hours worth of breaks and weekend availability. Currently my work schedule is very slow so I’m not getting crazy amount of hours. I’d love to use my free time for a good cause! I have a fenced in play area that is perfect for running or just strolling around. My doggies love to even take naps under the trees when it’s warmer outside. Additionally for in client home I am able to crate any pets if needed. I can play with them/walk them etc. I am able to feed dogs, give medicine, whatever is needed I can do!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. From playful puppies to senior pets needing a little extra patience and attention, I’ve cared for them all—and I truly treat every animal like family. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun, energizing walk or a calm, reassuring visit, I adjust my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. During visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, medication (if needed), and lots of affection and attention. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely love. I’d be honored to care for your pet as if they were my own! I'm currently working part-time on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I can usually pet walk/drop in or pet sit on the other days. I prefer to care for pets in their own environment because that's where they feel most comfortable. The safety of your pet is the most important thing to me.

About: Hi! My name is Piyawadee, you can call me Annie, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with a genuine passion for caring for animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and currently I have a beagle of my own who brings so much joy to my daily routine. Spending time with dogs has always been something special to me—they’re not just pets, they’re incredible companions. I truly believe dogs have a unique way of providing comfort and emotional support, and they’ve always helped lift my spirits, no matter what kind of day I’m having. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I’m experienced in—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. In fact, I’ve always felt that if I ever changed careers, working with dogs would be my dream job. Being around them brings me happiness, reduces stress, and gives me a sense of fulfillment that’s hard to find elsewhere. That’s exactly why I decided to become a dog sitter. I’m excited to spend my free time, weekends, and days off helping others by taking care of their beloved pets. I understand how important it is to know your dog is in safe, caring hands, and I will treat your dog with the same love and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I'm currently working from home 2 days a week and off the whole weekend. I can provide boarding, walking, and drop-in services from Friday to Sunday. I live in the house with the big backyard in a great neighborhood. I can walk the dog around the neighborhood and play with your dog in the backyard. Our yard is unfenced, but we are planning to build the fence in this summer.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I often was responsible for watching, feeding, walking, and bathing my dogs. I also would care for other people’s dogs and stop in for a short while or to watch a home and care for a dog or two. I love animals in all shapes and sizes and would love to care for your furry friend(s)! I’m currently unemployed which makes me extremely flexible! I am looking to find full time work but the summer is a hard time to do so. I am also looking to become more active and what better way than with dogs! I live in apartment living with my boyfriend who works from home. I walk my beagle Strawberry several times a day. Strawberry is on a very tight schedule when it comes to food and walks which allows me to use time management. In your home I’d like to behave and treat your dogs just as you do. I think it’s very important to know the schedule which needs to be kept.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Shrewsbury on Rover is $22.2 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,016 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Shrewsbury with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shrewsbury. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
