About: I’ve been caring for pets for many years, both in my own home and in clients’ homes. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’m also experienced with cats and understand that every pet has their own unique routine and comfort level. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone stick to their normal routine, I’m happy to provide personalized care that fits their needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re with family.

I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, administer basic medications if needed, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment.

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.

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.

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.

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.
