“Christa is the best! She is so nice to help taking care of Toba for a last minute request. Our boy Toba was still recovering from diarrhea and needs probiotics for a few days. I was worried about this situation happened right before our trip. She is so patient for this extra care. From our first meet I just felt right that I can trust her! During our trip we received a lot of pictures and detailed updates from her. We can tell Toba really enjoyed meeting her and the walks! She really took a good care of my boy. We came home with a fully recovered and happy boy and felt so grateful for Christa’ s help! Christa is definitely the one you can fully trust with your little family member! We will have her back next time and highly recommend her to all!”
“Meena has been an absolute god-send to me & more importantly our dog Jackson. Meena truly cares and her approach is professional & loving. Her communication is timely and I really appreciate that our dog, who is visually impaired and a diabetic. is so well cared for when being watched by Meena. I highly recommend her!”
About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for not only cats and dogs but many different animal species. I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have even worked as a vet tech during the summer. When it comes to pet sitting, I regularly look after pets for my friends and family when they’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, from doodles to shepherds and labs. With experience in various roles, I’m confident in saying that I am responsible, reliable, have excellent communication skills, and, most importantly, a true passion for animals! Im currently home for the summer and am available anytime during the week. Along with weekends at any times. Im willing too work any hours as long as they are communicated in advance. I am able too provide a clean and safe environment for your pet if needed!I also can stay with your pet/clean there environment if needed.
“Alex and Brian are wonderful pet sitters. My cat Jasmine was very happy in their care. I received multiple pictures and updates at each visit and came home to a happy kitty. Thank you!”
About: I have had a wide range of experience caring for a variety of pets ever since I was a young child. I have taken care of dogs and cats for over a decade. Your pet will have all the attention and care they need during their time with me or in my home. I work Monday to Friday with weekends off. I am able to care for them before and right after work, with family home during the day as well. I care for pets by feeding them their proper diet, playing with them/making them feel welcome, making sure their bathroom needs are met, and updating the owners.
“Took care of my kitty like her own. Even brought her a scratching pad. The pictures that were taken were beautiful and made me feel good while on vacation knowing my kitty was in good hands. A++”
About: I’ve been working with dogs and cats since July 2020 with minor experience in a grooming salon. I’ve always loved animals and decided to start my own dog walking business in February 2022 and have loved every aspect of it. If you’re interested in boarding, please message me before booking. I enjoy getting to know pets and their families and always make time to go over all your needs thoroughly to ensure you can trust to leave your animal with me comfortably. Your dogs needs are always my top priority and will never hesitate to protect your baby in an unsavory situation. I can administer a range of medicine, including insulin and administer fluids, adhere to any dietary and exercise needs, and love going on long walks at the park. Dog walking and sitting is my full time occupation. I am usually walking dogs from 9am-3pm on a daily basis. I have a few families that depend on me daily and some for emergencies or last minute bookings throughout the week. I book most of my stays in advance and recommend that if I cannot leave your dog unattended for at least 4 hours to look elsewhere (sorry!). My calendar is updated daily, please reach out and say hello! I always make sure to meet with a family before confirming a booking. If the booking is far enough in advance I recommend at least 1 or 2 more visits prior to the families departure just to go over basic info, daily routines, and to let your pet get more familiar with me. I’m always happy to stay over night, am very friendly with neighbors, and am a quiet homebody type. I would never invite guests over while you’re gone and always make sure I leave your home cleaner than you left it. Your trust is most important to me and hope you will consider me when booking your next trip!
“Tasha takes our two dogs Cody and Tobey for walks every week. Cody is a difficult one as he is a large yellow lab who is older and grumpy and can be aggressive. Tasha is patient yet persistent when it comes to caring for him. Her pictures and texts about the results of the walk always make my day.”
About: I am a nursing student who has always loved dogs and taken great care of them! I grew up with an eskipoo and cockapoo, and now I am raising my fur-baby Auggie! With my goldendoodle, Auggie, I have trained him and we have successfully graduated two puppy training classes at PetSmart. I have pet sit for friends and family over the years as well. I work as a Patient Care Technician and Nurse Extern, so my typical experience is with the elderly. I love animals, and I love caregiving so being able to help out families in my area is my overall goal! I am currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule! Friday-Monday is my typical availability. However, I sometimes get cancelled from my weekday shifts and would be available for some same-day bookings! I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. As a nursing student, I'm dependable, attentive, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, a quiet companion, or extra patience, I'll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you're away. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as much as possible.
About: I’ve been an animal lover since I was a child, living with no less than 3 dogs at a time growing up, including other animals such as rabbits, Guinea pigs, turtles, bearded dragons, diamond tale doves and my current dog and cat. I’ve rescued 2 dogs from SPCA and trained them to be happy, healthy, content companions. I’ve taken care of cats, reptiles and dogs for neighbors in my hometown for over 10 years. I have experience with puppies and new litters so I’d be able to help out with that as well if needed. Everyone in my household is an experienced animal lover/owner as well :) I’m currently out of work and home for now so I have quite a bit of free time to help out with the local pets in need! I can coke for house visits in the day to feed, walk or entertain your pets as needed. Id be willing to stay and play with them a bit and or walk them.
About: Currently available as needed. Would provide play time, multiple potty breaks, and walks with my own dogs! Have large yard and tons of toys. I previously worked in a vet office, so giving medication is not a hassle. Dogs can do as they please while supervised. Working in a vet office has provided knowledge of basic cpr, how to help/ prevent a choking incident and how to orally give medication as well as administering vaccines and or insulin. I own many types of pets and would only trust the best for my kiddos, and I know im not alone! All animals deserve great care and love, and I would love to help provide that. Any other questions about me are always welcome:) I am currently home and available at all times! I pick up my kiddos from school at 3 and we are ready to help your furry friends with any of their needs! I have two friendly dogs who love company and two kids to help get their energy out we live on 5.5 acres and love to go for leashed walks along the property!
“James was very attentive to all of our pups needs. He was also very flexible as some of our plans had changed on the fly. He was patient (Cash can be skittish) and made sure he was well taken care of. We would recommend James for any pet care needs!”
“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!!”

“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.”
“Such a nice saver and excellent pet sitter. Ryan went over and behind the call of duty to ensure my trip was stress free and the 3 dogs and cat were well taken care off much love”

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 July 2026, there are 5,178 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:
- 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.
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.
