“This is our 2nd time using Jonathan. We had a vet emergency 1 hr before our flight, and he came to the vet office, picked up meds, and administered them while we were away. Incredibly kind and responsible person!”
About: I currently work for a dog sitting company, but I would like additional work. I am experienced with animals and I have worked as a veterinarian assistant dog washer, doggy daycare, and kennel assistant I do daily care in your home overnight visits. I live in Jackson I will travel 30 minutes or so. I love working with dogs and cats. It’s my passion. I am dependable and trustworthy. My schedule is flexible. I am working part-time with another company right now, but I’m willing to do whatever needs to be done for your animal. I would care about your pet like it’s my own. I am such an animal lover and I care about the safety of your pet.
About: I really focus on structure and training not just basic walks and cuddles. I have hands on experience helping dogs with obedience recall and leash manners and I am comfortable following a family’s training plan or reinforcing commands your dog already knows. I especially enjoy working with puppies who need consistency and socialization and I am also happy to give senior dogs gentle walks slower routines and lots of quiet time. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like a student calm patient and consistent while still making sure they get love play and plenty of mental stimulation. I am happy to send photo and video updates follow your schedule for treats and meds and create a routine that fits your dog’s personality instead of a one size fits all approach. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am already used to being around dogs and building consistent schedules. I set aside time each day for walks play training reviews and check ins so pet care does not feel like an add on it just slots into my normal rhythm. I am also a student with flexible hours so I can plan walks visits or in home stays around your dog preferred times and your schedule. Treating pets like part of my routine helps me give them steady attention the same kind of structure they are used to at home. I care for pets in my home by giving them a quiet dedicated space where they feel safe, plenty of breaks outside, and regular meals and potty breaks on a schedule. I keep the environment calm and predictable, avoid overstimulation, and follow your instructions for treats, toys, and any training cues your dog already knows. If I am at a client’s home I keep the same routine, making sure your pet gets walks playtime, and cuddle breaks while respecting your house rules. I always check in with you first about anything unusual and send updates so you can feel at ease while you are away.

About: I’ve been a dog pal of every kind since I was in high school, for my family, friends, and neighbors. Whatever you and your pup may need, I am here! I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule with lots of time to be present with your pups. I am free on the weekends for boarding, and I can be available any time during the week. Dogs are the embodiment of unconditional love. I do what I can to reflect that unconditional love back to them that they give so freely.
About: I worked at a pet store and dog sat all through high school, so I’m very attentive to different pup’s needs, especially ones with dietary restrictions and other physical or mental health needs. My schedule is very open, since I’m on summer break from my regular full time job as a student :). I’m available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, well fed, and exercised! I have a lot of experience handling dogs with varied personalities and needs, so a lot of how I’ll take care of them will depend on the individual pup.
About: 🐶💛 Hi, I’m Trevon! Nice to meet you & your fur baby! Ever since I was little, I’ve loved animals with my whole heart. My very first pet — a fluffy rabbit named Gizmo joined my life when I was 10, and I’ve been surrounded by furry friends ever since! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years, including dogs, rabbits, and gerbils I happily took care of everything — feeding, cleaning their spaces, playtime, snuggles, and building real bonds A little more about me! I’ve helped friends & family groom their pets — baths + nail clipping included In 2021, I volunteered with a Petsmart cat rescue I helped clean their spaces, fed them, and made sure they felt loved and entertained My current animal family: • Rita — my sweet lionhead rabbit • Strelka — my energetic 9-month-old Manchester Terrier puppy We’re currently working on training, and I love watching her grow each day!

About: Hello, I'm Abigail! I've been caring for dogs, cats, and animals of all kinds for most of my life. As a animal lover, my experience is not only just dogs and cats. I have cared for a variety of pets, including farm animals, small animals and reptiles. I worked at a dog care facility for several years, where I gained experience as a Dog Daycare Attendant, Lodging (Overnight Boarding) Attendant, and Enrichment Attendant. Through these roles, I worked with dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. I've learned how to recognize and respond to different behaviors. Provide safe and structured care, and help pets feel comfortable and happy while their parents and or family are away from home! Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, enrichment activities, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm committed to providing compassionate, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐶🐱🐰🦎 I offer pet sitting services every day of the week, including weekends & holidays, giving you flexible and reliable care whenever you need it!! I also take advance booking:) I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you owners are informed. As well as feel confident & stress free before, during, and after bookings. I follow instructions exactly from feeding, training cues, crate rules, or medication schedules. I always keep emergency contacts and vet information easily accessible. I respect the client’s privacy and property at all times!! Watch closely for changes in behavior such as appetite, or energy. I can administer medications if needed (oral, topical, etc.). Always a priority to maintain a calm, stress free environment with plenty of affection and attention for your pets!!
“Yaqin was great with Fafa! It was too hot outside for a regular walk, so she adjusted the visit and found other ways to keep Fafa active and entertained. She even did some strength exercises with him and gave him plenty of enrichment and attention. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she adapted to Fafa’s needs. Would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hello! I have been an avid animal lover my whole life. I chose to pursue my dream of caring for animals and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Zoology. Having been an animal care specialist at a wildlife safari for several years, you can expect all of your animal's needs will be met to the highest standard. I am trained in administering medications (injection and oral). While not a certified dog trainer, I have experience training a variety of different species. Your precious pooch will be staying in a ground level apartment with access to a yard. Endless adventures and cuddles will keep your pet happy and content while being away from their owners. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. I am not currently working so being that I am home all day, I am available to tend to your dogs needs 24/7! Walks, potty breaks, play time, I will be on your dogs schedule and can send you updates as many times a day as you request. Your pets safety and comfort is my highest priority. In my home they are free to roam where they would like, while outside they will always be leashed. If they feel more comfortable having a crate in home we can arrange to have that for them as well.
About: Hello my name is Antonio. All my life I have been surrounded by cats and dogs. I love playing with animals and taking them out for long walks. Also, I am able to administer any oral medication or treatment needed for your furry friends!!! I am a middle school special education science teacher, so during the summer I am free. Mondays are my long days but other than that I am pretty much free any day of the week. I treat all animals as if they were my own, and I give them the proper care they deserve. I have a mini fenced in backyard but I may do walks around the block. I am able to provide separation during feedings, and any accommodations that are necessary for your loved one to feel happy and safe.
About: I have 20+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. Sadly, I am very allergic to kitties, but I do love them. I have personal as well as professional pet sitting experience and have met so many wonderful and unique pets. I have experience in caring for puppies as well as geriatric dogs, including administering medication. My love for animals runs deep; I’ve been a vegetarian for 20 years now and truly believe every living creature deserves love and respect. You can rest easy knowing your pet is not only in competent, but caring hands. I’m currently a freelance editor, so my schedule is very flexible. I am available during the week as well as on weekends to care for your pets. I have plenty of experience walking dogs as well as caring for them in a fenced environment. I’ve also taken dogs from the home to a park nearby if there is no green space around your home.
About: I have dog and cat sat for neighbors and through Rover for almost 10 years and have a dog of my own. I love animals and will always take care of your pet as if it were my own. I am generally available in the afternoon and at night on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I can accommodate most visit times if booked in advance. I would be able to care for your cat or dog in your home and would take any safety precautions necessary to keep your pet happy and safe.
About: I have been a pet owner for over 15 years and have been surrounded by animals throughout my life. I currently have a five-year-old rescue dog at my family home, and my previous dog experienced behavioral challenges that taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding—especially when caring for animals that need extra time and support. I have also volunteered at animal shelters both in my hometown and in Hawaii. In these roles, I cared for and spent time with dogs who had been abandoned, surrendered, abused, or found roaming the streets. These experiences strengthened my ability to approach every animal with empathy and adapt to their individual needs. I am responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal care. I would be thrilled to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pet while you are away. I am around all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am available after 5 Monday-Friday. I work full time Monday-Friday so I do not have flexibility on those days. I will carefully follow each pet’s normal routine and take the time to earn their trust. I will keep their environment clean and secure, provide fresh food and water, and closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety. I am also comfortable following specific care instructions for pets with behavioral or medical needs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,767 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
