Our boys Peanut and Milo loved having Juliette take care of them. I would highly recommend Juliette!”

We’re extremely happy with her service and would absolutely trust her with our pups again! We highly recommend Lauren!”

About: Pets have always been an important part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Over the years, I've cared for my own cats and dogs as well as pets belonging to family, friends, neighbors, and Rover clients. Each pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs as well as kittens and adult cats. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and injections when needed, and I always pay close attention to each pet's behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind that your pets are in good hands. I currently offer House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, and Dog Walking. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate booking requests whenever possible. House Sitting: My house sitting service is designed for pets who are comfortable being left alone between visits. During the day, I typically visit every 4 hours to provide potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention. If you'd like overnight care, overnight stays (10:00 PM–8:00 AM) are available as a $40/night add-on through Rover. If your pet has unique needs or a different routine, please let me know before booking so we can discuss the best care plan. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I care for your home with the utmost respect. I carefully follow your pet's established routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special care instructions. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care while helping your pet feel comfortable in their familiar environment. Safety is at the heart of every visit. I never leave dogs unattended outdoors, even in securely fenced yards. Whether we're outside for a potty break, playtime, or enjoying the fresh air, I remain with your pet at all times to ensure they're safe. Communication is important to me, so you'll receive regular updates and photos throughout your booking. If I notice anything out of the ordinary or have any concerns, I'll contact you promptly. To ensure we're the right fit, I recommend scheduling a Meet & Greet before every first booking. During this time, we'll review your pet's routine, discuss any medical or behavioral needs, and answer any questions you may have. For transparency and the comfort of everyone involved, I ask that clients disclose any indoor cameras before the booking begins. Cameras are welcome in common areas for home security, but they should never be placed in bathrooms or sleeping areas where privacy is expected.
“For never having a person drop in to take care of our dogs before I was very nervous, but Cristine was wonderful. She set up a meet and greet before hand and the day before she confirmed that she was coming. Throughout her two visits she sent adorable pictures and gave an update on the dogs. We are very happy with her and will be using her in the future.”
“Katie took such great care of Sully! She was on time for all of her drop in visits and took him on a ton of walks. She sent us pictures and brief recaps of all her visits which was greatly appreciated and helpful! She made us feel so comfortable knowing that Sully was getting great care. Can’t recommend Katie enough!! Thanks!”
“I've met Kat twice so far for my dog (and me) to get to know her, she's very reassuring and I feel comfortable having her stay here when I go on vacation. I cant wait to finally get to go on vacation!!! ☺”
“Thank you, Autumn, for taking wonderful care of Ashley, our tabby. We so appreciate your attentiveness to her and your willingness to pick up the mail and water plants. Ashley is super relaxed and happy and our plants thriving in spite of the heat. Looking forward to asking you to watch her in the future!”
“Very responsive and sent me a picture. Great walker! Zoë was great when I came back despite the long day in the crate for her and only one walk. He didn’t mind that she had a broken toe and cone of shame.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have always had multiple dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve dog sat and house sat for multiple families, handling everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to overnight care and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’ve also worked closely with a professional dog trainer, which has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, structure, and how to handle different temperaments. Including high-energy dogs and those that need a little extra patience and attention. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with things like basic training reinforcement, administering medications if needed, and adjusting care based on each dog’s individual needs. In addition to pet care, I’m extremely responsible, respectful of your home, and detail-oriented. I have experience in house management as well, so I’m happy to help keep your home tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and make sure everything is in order while you’re away. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, while giving you complete peace of mind. I currently have very open availability and can be flexible to meet your pet’s needs! I’m available 24/7 for bookings through May 11th, which allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day and night. Starting May 11th, I will be working part-time, but I will still have strong availability for pet care and house sitting, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet comfortable by maintaining their normal routine and environment. I’m experienced with overnight stays and house sitting, and I make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable with crating if needed, administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and adjusting to each dog’s individual needs. I provide regular walks, playtime, and can take dogs to nearby parks. I’m also attentive to behavior and energy levels to make sure your pet is both happy and comfortable. I’m very respectful of your home and treat it with the same care and attention I would my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to help with additional tasks around the house. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always feel confident that your pet is happy and in good hands!
“Paige is a very kind and compassionate sitter, we had her taking care of our cat for a week and she was always super communicative and helpful! We will definitely hire her again!”
“Kristina did a great job this weekend with our 2 medium sized dogs. She followed all our picky directions and kept the space tidy. We came home to very happy peaceful pups. Definitely would have her back”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with pets all my life. Now that I’m an adult I have 5 cats and a dog. I’ve fostered (and foster failed) both cats and dogs over the years. I watch my friend’s pets here and at their homes as well. At my house I have a spare room that can be your animal’s home away from home if they need their own secluded space. I also have a fenced in yard with friendly neighbors who are also animal lovers. Come in the summer and I’ll send you home with some fresh veggies from my garden too! I get up early for work and make sure to leave plenty of time to feed, clean litter boxes and make sure all my four legged babies are ready for the day. Once home in the afternoon and after I lay down on the couch they all come to find me for love and to lay on me for all the pets. At night all are welcome to sleep with me, on the couch or wherever they are the most comfortable. I home almost all day over the weekends except for the morning time on Sundays. I have a fenced in yard so any dogs are able to go outside whenever they need to to play, pee or lay in the sun. I watch my neighbor’s dogs as needed and will go over every 4 or so hours to let them out over the weekends. During the week I let them out before I go to work and then as soon as I come home. I then let them out again before bed around 8pm. I also am able to let them out as needed when they are in a pinch and can’t get home in time. My cats and yours if they come for a stay will have water and toys available to them at all times. They will be fed twice a day with a snack of crunchies before bed. If you needed me to come to your house to take care of your cats and/or dogs, I would be able to come early in the morning, after work and before bed during the week and every 4-6 hours during the weekend. While at your house I can take animals for a walk, play, give pets and love, brush or whatever else is needed. Of course I’d feed them and clean kitty litter boxes or whatever else your babies need. I am good with giving medicine to cats and dogs. I give daily medication to my dog and have had to give cats medicine in the past.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Telford is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Telford
Alex was absolutely wonderful with both of our dogs! She took her time getting to know our little Noelle, who can be very nervous and scared around new people, and was so patient and gentle while earning her trust. She was equally great with Geralt, our big, lovable goofball, and had no trouble handling his size and energy. It’s not always easy to find someone who can adjust so naturally to two dogs with completely different personalities, but Alex did it with ease. We felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and would absolutely recommend her!
Katie was amazing and on very little notice she was able to help us out on the day of our daughter's wedding and provide multiple visits with our dog Cooper. Cooper took to Katie right away and she was great with him and helped make our day less stressful. I would highly recommend Katie and we will be using her again.
Kristy was amazing! She is so kind and very thorough with her care. My dog is 15 and has some mobility issues but Kristy made me feel comfortable leaving her in her care. She was on time and sent me updates and photos. I definitely recommend using her for your dog care and I will definitely be using her in the future!
This was our first time with Tonya since our previous rover moved away from the area. Tonya was thorough in our intro meeting to understand what we needed then took great care of our boxer while we were away. I will be booking with her again, highly recommended.

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 Telford 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
To find sitters in Telford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
