“Kaitlyn did an excellent job watching our dog Lula! She was a great communicator, prompt and let me know what to expect each step of the way as this was my first time using Rover. Our communications were easy, she sent pics and was very professional. Our house was left spotless and our puppy was happy! Would definitely love to use her again when we travel!”
“Beverly was awesome. This was the first time we were away from our 150lb mastiff puppy and we were worried about him. Bev made us very comfortable during the meet and greet and communicated with us up until the the sit started to ensure she had all the details and care instructions. On the day of the sit she showed up right on time and settled in before we had to leave, so the puppies would get used to her being in the house. During the next few days she took wonderful care of our furbabies. She played with them and cuddled with them when they were moping and was persistent about trying to get them to eat. Pretty soon they were following her around everywhere. She sent us a lot of pictures of them and the house was immaculately clean when we got back. We would love for her to care for our babies again in the future.”
“Crystal was awesome with our little feline critter, Lola, when she cat/house sat for us recently. She kept us updated with photos & helped Lola emotionally while we traveled. So lovely to be able to have a trusted sitter … peace of mind embodied in a very kind animal loving pet sitter. Thanks Crystal! Hope you’re still available for when we travel again.”
“If you're looking for a trustworthy and amazing pet sitter, look no further! Rachel is the perfect choice! She took care of our four dogs for five days in our home, and they were showered with love and attention. We received daily updates and photos, which was such a nice touch. Coming home to a spotless house and happy pups was a delight. Thank you, Rachel! We truly appreciate everything you did!”
About: Hi, we’re Eric and Cassie! We’re passionate animal lovers and proud pet parents to a loving, Golden Retriever. We understand that pets are family, and we know how important it is to find someone you can trust with their care. We would love the opportunity to provide your furry friends with the attention, affection, and care they deserve while giving you peace of mind. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to your pet's routine, we’ll treat them as if they were our own. We look forward to meeting you and your pets! We are both very active individuals so we love going for multiple walks daily. During the fall-spring Eric works 7 AM-3 PM Monday-Friday and is available on weekends. We are able to handle dogs big and small on a leash. Eric is a Special Education teacher and is familiar with positive reinforcement and use it when walking dogs. Cassie has grown up taking care of her neighbors animals while they were on vacation and loves to spend time playing with them, sitting with them and getting their energy out.
“Gabrielle was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly kind, respectful and attentive to every detail. She asked thoughtful and important questions, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my dogs in her care. My dogs absolutely loved her! She was early for both our meet and greet and her visit, and her communication and reliability were amazing. I truly couldn’t rate her highly enough and look forward to having her watch my fur babies again!”
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my two Yorkshire terriers. I love the ability to let them stay in their own house and play in their own yard without being crated. Amy made that possible and I will definitely book her services again.”
“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.”
“Can't say enough good things about Kat! The house is immaculate ! Just the way we let it! Libby seemed like she didn't even miss us which in itself is incredible because she may be 11 but she is a momma's girl. Kat notifies us when she arrives, takes pictures and sends them and when she leaves. I would be so sad if I ever needed her and she was booked. Thank you for taking care of my baby girl!”
“My husband & I were really nervous to have someone house sit, but not only was Ryan awesome with our Yorkie & Fox Terrier but we returned to a clean house. He followed all of our well & gave daily reports on our fur-babies. Thanks so much Ryan!!”
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.
“Morgan was so sweet and treated our girl so well! Our home is in better condition than we left it and our pup is happy as can be. Morgan was so responsive throughout our stay. We are so lucky to have had her!!!”
About: While I've had dogs for 8+ years, I have learned the importance of training and instructing animals. In the past, I have trained dogs to understand commands such as sit, stand, lie down, paw, and many more. Not only have I focused on training, but I also recognize the importance of exerting energy in which I can play fetch with dogs or even run with them. While I am in classes, I will have plenty of time throughout the days and most nights to watch, walk, and care for your animal. When it comes to hours or even a few minutes, there is always a way to work taking care of your pet into my schedule. The middle of the days are usually harder for me since I am in class, but other than that, I have pretty much open availability. In my own personal home, It would be hard for me to house an animal considering my roommates have both a dog and a cat. I wouldn't want any animal to be reactive so I would have to visit rather than bring to my home. I am more than willing to travel to a destination to care for your animal. I am also able to walk your animal in any area deemed fit and safe for both the animal and myself.
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.
“Brooke did a fantastic job taking care of Duncan. She sent us updates and pictures of our boy. It is nice to know he was in good hands. I hope Brooke will be available when we go away again. I would recommend her to my family and friends.thanks Thanks again.”
“Alex was wonderful with my dog and cat! So communicative and followed instructions well. My sometimes-nervous pup was comfortable and relaxed in all photos and I came home to two happy and healthy pets. Would definitely work with Alex again!”
About: I’ve owned a dog of my own since I was about 8 years old. Other then that for a couple years now I have been helping out family friends by walking/ feeding their pets when they are away. I decided to take part in this as a part time summer job! I am very flexible and should have loads of time to walk/ play with your pups. You can fully rely on me to make sure the pups are secured when I leave.. whether this is crating your pet or making sure the gates are locked I’ll make it happen!
“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.”

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!

Gabrielle was amazing with all 4 of our fur babies while we were away in vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures so communication was great. Not too much and not too little. She was even able to get some love from our highly antisocial kitty. I will definitely be reaching out again when we need her again!! Thank you Again Gabby!
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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Telford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Telford on Rover is $71.67 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,325 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Telford. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
