“Mirella did a fantastic job pet sitting our two guinea pigs over Christmas. One of our pigs is elderly and has health issues, and Mirella handled them very professionally and compassionately. We felt so much better traveling knowing that our pigs were in good hands at home. Thank you!!”

“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!”

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.
About: I can take on the most hyper of dogs (I have one myself). I understand the high demand of a hyper dog and am ready to walk and play with your furry friend! I can also care for small critters! I work 2p-10p full time as a behavior specialist with individuals with autism. I am available most mornings and am available for overnights after 10pm! I always ensure that my pets have everything they need: lots of love, an extra long walk on sunny days, toys to play with, and food that meets their diets needs.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in third grade when I got one of my own. I have two now and have dealt with multiple different breeds. Friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I am currently a post graduate student in search of a job.

“I had a really positive experience. Sue came out for a meet and greet a couple days before so my puppy could get to know her. On the days of the service she walked him, played with him, and made sure he got some attention and activity. She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the visits, which gave me peace of mind. Everything went smoothly and I felt he was well cared for.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them. I currently have Toby, my Yorkie, who has been part of my family since 2014. Caring for him has given me years of hands-on experience with everything from daily walks and playtime to administering medications and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I also helped care for our family dog for nearly 19 years before we recently had to say goodbye, which taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and caring for senior dogs with special needs. In addition, our family has a 5-year-old Shih Tzu, so I'm comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Beyond my own dogs, I've also dog sat for my sister on multiple occasions and have always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I'm attentive, reliable, and treat every dog like they're part of my own family. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care has always been part of my daily routine. I care for my own dogs every day, including walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe and loved. Because I'm flexible and enjoy spending time with animals, I can easily incorporate pet care into my schedule and give each pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's sticking to a familiar routine, providing companionship, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection, I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is helping them feel comfortable by maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, offer plenty of playtime and affection, administer medications if needed, and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, following all care instructions, and providing regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

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.

“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: 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.

About: I’ve have the pleasure of taking care of and loving so many types of animals. Dogs, cats, geckos, fish, hamsters! I have a passion for pets and an even bigger passion for care taking.

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.

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.

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.

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.
