“Our dog Levi loves to stay with Amy and her family! Absolutely wonderful people who truly care about the animal they are housing! Highly recommended and will be my first call anytime I need care for our sweet boy!”
“Jenny is great! We booked her for our baby boy who is a big baby and she did great with him. She sent pictures of him and checked in. She was wonderful very nice and kind. I have officially found our dog sitter she willl be the only one from now on who will watch our fur baby.

About: I am a lifelong dog lover and owner who recently said goodbye to my beloved dog after 16.5 wonderful years. While my family is not quite ready to make the commitment to another dog of our own, I truly miss having a pup around—and I would love to spoil yours while you’re away! I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. I only host one dog at a time, and I'm specifically looking for small, friendly dogs (30 lbs or less) who are comfortable in a family home. My 9-year-old son is also a huge dog lover and is very excited to have a furry friend around the house again! He’ll be part of the fun—playing, giving belly rubs, and enjoying plenty of cuddle time—so I'm looking for dogs who are comfortable and happy around children. My home is calm, cozy, and dog-friendly, with plenty of opportunities for cuddles, playtime, and attention. Because I'm selective about the dogs I will host, my goal is for your pup to feel like they’re staying with family—not being boarded at a kennel. I'm happy to care for dogs of all ages who enjoy a quiet, loving home environment. A meet-and-greet before every stay helps make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! I work from home full-time, so I’m able to be home with your dog throughout most of the day. My flexible schedule allows for regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm also home a lot on weekends and enjoy having a dog join me for family activities. I do have the occasional sports game, outing, or event, but these are generally during the daytime and I'm never away for more than about 8 hours at a time. Your pup will be welcome to settle into the normal family routine—whether that means following me around while I work, curling up nearby for a nap, playing with my son after school, or getting lots of cuddles on the couch. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only host one dog at a time, so your pup will have my full attention and won’t have to share the house with other visiting dogs. My home is a single-level home with no stairs, making it easy for dogs of all ages to get around comfortably. I do not have a fenced-in yard, so dogs are always supervised and kept securely on a leash or harness whenever they’re outside. Inside, your dog is welcome to make themselves at home! I am a true dog lover, so cuddling on the couch, curling up next to me while I work, and even sleeping in bed are all perfectly fine. I want your pup to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re here. I'll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any other care instructions you provide. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. Before every stay, we’ll have a meet-and-greet to make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit for each other.
“We recently had to board our dog, Coco, with Joyce on very short notice due to a family emergency. We can’t thank her enough for her incredible care and support during this difficult time. From the moment we dropped Coco off, it was clear she was in good hands. Joyce was attentive, kind, and made sure Coco felt comfortable and loved. We truly appreciate the extra effort Joyce put into making our pup feel at home. We’ll definitely be returning for future boarding needs. Thank you, Joyce, for being such a wonderful host!”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and also was a trainer for the seeing eye before! We are a very active family so lots of playing and walks will be had! I have a puppy of my own that I am training so your baby will always have a friend! Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby I’m a stay at home mom so I will be home full-time minus errand running here or there so you can expect your fur baby to be fully enriched with constant company! We will play outside, go on trips and of course walks including hikes if you are comfortable with that! I also have a puppy so they will have a built in bestie!

“We had a great experience having our dog Ellie stay with Whitney and her family for a week! Whitney kept us updated on Ellie’s feeding schedule (Ellie has a prescription diet with supplements), she sent pictures throughout the week, made sure to let us know that Ellie settled in well and was prompt in communication. We really appreciated the updates and the care Whitney took in making sure Ellie was comfortable. She was also very accommodating with our late pickup time on our last day. It was sweet to hear that her two young daughters and their family dog enjoyed spending time with Ellie, too! We’re thankful she took such good care of Ellie while we were away and would happily recommend her.”
“Katie and her family are the absolute BEST!! They are such a loving and caring family and do everything to make your pets feel at home! Katie has great communication and sent pics and videos throughout the week, updating us on our pup. Hands down the best experience we've had!! 100% recommend Katie and her family!!”

“Katlyn was great! Kept us updated on our dog, sent pictures, and gifted him the only toy he couldn’t stop playing with! Katlyn was able to take him last minute and a day earlier to make our trip easier! Very professional and personable as well! Looking forward to booking with her in the future as well!”
“Took very gold care of my dog! Sent pictures everyday of my little fur baby. I would definitely recommend angelene! My dog came back very happy, I could tell he was in good hands! :)”
“We booked Kyla and Cody not just for boarding our pup, but for drop-in visits with our other critters. Kyla and Cody were fantastic! We had some unique instructions, and nothing fazed them. They were great about providing updates and photos, asked questions when appropriate, and overall just gave us a sense of relief that our babies would be in good hands so that we could truly relax while we were away from home. Plus our pup found a great new friend in their dog while in their home.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shrewsbury is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,463 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shrewsbury. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Shrewsbury can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shrewsbury home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Shrewsbury.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Shrewsbury sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
