“Sofia is very diligent in following my puppies care instructions. She’s also thorough in sending pictures and updates. I don’t have to worry about my puppy because I see pictures of her all day long!”
“Juliette was so responsive with the lead-up to her watching my cat, Artemis. She contacted me about how Artemis was doing during each visit and she was so kind. I would recommend booking her because she really made sure Artemis was well looked after.”
“My husband and I are very happy we found Kat through Rover. Our two dogs and cat are more than happy too! Kat was very professional, easy to work with, and bonded with our critters right away. She addressed all of our questions and concerns about someone staying in our home while we were on vacation. We were forced to deal with flight delays & cancellations - it was a relief knowing that Kat was there to take care of things at home. We feel that Kat went above and beyond our expectations. We will most certainly use her again without delay!”
“Crystal is great! She recently stayed with our pups for 5 days and took great care of them and our home. She just did a few drop on visits for us too. She is reliable and experienced and the pups approve:). We look forward to using her again!”
“Alex is reliable and always goes above and beyond when watching my dog. Followed instructions, easy to communicate with and sent updates throughout the week, came home to house cleaner than I left it and I can tell my dog was well cared for. Thank you”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog, cat, or other pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply giving extra attention to senior pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also pay close attention to routines and instructions so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that keeps pets happy and stress-free. Im currently working part time right now so I have a lot of extra free time on my hand & would love to take care of all animals during my free time Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed and secure. I’ll make sure they always have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise if needed, and a clean environment. I’ll also keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, pay close attention during walks and playtime, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect that I would give my own.
About: A former doggie dad, I am a responsible, attentive adult who will provide top care for your family. A fenced-in yard and open space in my home are perfect for your dog to relax and have fun. Also active I will enjoy taking your dog for guided walks, runs and plenty of outdoor time. Your home or mine, I will think of your dog like they are family and will respect your privacy and provide the love and affection I would have wanted for my own dog. A teacher during the non-summer months, I am home all day and can work around your schedule to make things a good fit for you and your family. I look forward to hearing from you about making this a match.
“Susan was great from the Meet & Greet to the dog sitting. She was warm, friendly & professional. She was very easy to communicate with. She eased my mind w photos of my Chico. Upon my return, clearly my dog & my home had been well taken care of.”
About: i’ve had 5+ dogs in my house at once since i was little, i’ve worked in multiple dog daycare/boarding facilities and friends and family usually rely on me for their furry friends i’m looking to do this as a full time job so i more than likely can be used whenever i am needed and am more than happy to help i will always keep a close eye on your furry family members. I can also easily create them if need be your animals are treated as one of mine when they are in my care
“Gina did a great job communicating with me while I was away - I am so grateful she was able to stay overnight in our home with her dog and mine. Plus- on CHRISTMAS - she was terrific. 💯 Recommend.”
“Erin was amazing watching our dogs. She was very thorough, thoughtful and loving with them. She did a great job of keeping us updated throughout her stay. She was even accommodating when we added our in-laws dog to the booking. Would highly recommend her and will keep her in mind for another booking”
“Brittany did 2 night house/dog sitting for my senior blind dog. She was very nice, communicative, and sent photos - no complaints here! One thing I really appreciated: there is a large gap in the day between feedings so informed her a head of time that she may leave for a bit like 1-4 hrs if needed for errands, appointments, etc (she did not ask! I came out with this and usually tell sitters this). I just dont want my dog alone all day and night as I work from home and am always here, and I do not want too much in and out or just walk ins. Closer to the scheduled sitting, she kindly let me know she would need to step out briefly which I confirmed was still fine. Without me asking her to do so, she messaged me when she left with expected time of return and messaged me when she officially returned”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small since I was 10. I have grown up my whole life with two dogs at all times so I’ve gotten a good bearing on how to treat and work with dogs. Neighbors and friends call me whenever they need dog sitters because they see how well I am with their dogs. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but I’m available for morning walks before work or evening walks after work! On weekends, I have a flexible schedule and can walk your pup anytime throughout the day. 🐾💕 I treat every dog the same whether they are 1 or 15, with the love and care they deserve. I believe that all dogs should be treated well and not neglected for their needs. If you are just starting to train your puppy, I want to help on that journey to make life easy on yall. But if your dog is sick and needs to be walked slower or given medications, I have plenty of experience with that as well! Being a well rounded human caring for animals is so important to me which is why I try to life out that statement.
About: I have extensive experience pet sitting cats, dogs, fish, and birds. I always think that animals are a part of ones families and should be treated so. I am a reliable pet sitter, and love animals. I have watched a range of animal ages and have experience with puppies and kittens all the way to senior animals. I also have watched diabetic pets so have experience with providing insulin and also can provide medications. I have worked with families who have multiple animals up to 7 for dogs, and 9 for cats. I love taking dogs on walks and having play time with them. I bring a loving and caring attitude to work, and you can rest assured that while you are away, your pets are in good hands.
“Brian took great care of our Gracie and our home. Gracie is very energetic 2 year old. Brian walked her at least 3 times a day as well as playing with her. He sent us many photos which helped us greatly as this was our first trip away from Gracie. He was very attentive to her. We will definitely hire Brian again for our next trip if he is available.”
“Mike is an awesome sitter for our boys! He is absolutely our go to for our two large dogs. He takes amazing care of them, plays with them, follows all our instructions to the letter, and even walks them. Of course the boys love him and every time he walks in they are super excited to see him which is what matters most of all”
“Mikaela arrived on time to watch our two dogs and seemed to enjoy spending time with Ruby and Fergie. She sent a few photos, fed our dogs and gave medication to one. We would definitely book with Mikaela again.”
“Alexis watched our dog Cooper for two weeks while we went to Greece. We arrived home yesterday to a sparkling clean house and a a very happy dog. Alexis went above and beyond she took care of our Tropical fish and even washed her towels and sheets. She also watered all my planters. Highly recommend Alexis for house and dog sitting. You will not be disappointed.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Telford
Gabi watched our dogs for our wedding weekend & she was wonderful! We’ve never hired a dog sitter before and she made the process so easy and stress free. She sent photos and updates throughout the weekend and we knew our pups were in good hands. Will definitely book her again in the future!
Kristy was great! She was very communicative throughout the stay, sent lots of pictures and updates, and was very punctual. Our dog clearly had a great time with her, and she was very kind and helpful throughout. She also left our house in great shape. We’d definitely use Kristy again!
Rachel stayed with my 2 dogs for a week and gave them all the attention that they needed. She genuinely cares for them and does so the way you would …from walks to belly rubs and extra hugs during a thunderstorm. She keeps a very neat home and is very communicative. I can’t speak more highly of Rachel and how well she cared for my four legged family members.
I cannot imagine anyone being better than Reanna was for our home and fur babies. Her communication and faithfulness were exceptional! Our animals were well taken care of and were comfortable with her. Right from the first day i felt relieved and confident that we left them in such good hands. She sent great pictures and updates. She played with them. And she handled challenges like a pro! She is my first call if I need someone again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Telford is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $65 and $74 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 5,322 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Telford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Telford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Telford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
