“Gemma is brilliant - we only booked a short visit but as sassy as Binks is, shes been absolutely fine when we arrived home. Will definitely ask for Gemmas help again when we next go away!”
“Lisa was great looking after our cat, we were a little nervous leaving him for the first time but we had updates along the way which helped. We have come home to a very happy kitty! ”
“Oliver had a lovely time being cared for by Jess!! She took the time to meet him beforehand and he immediately took to her which was reassuring, and that was before any treats had even come out!! I received lovely updates and heard that there was lots of playtime and some treats which he loved. I came home to a very happy cat, will definitely rebook!! Thank you, Jess :)”
About: I work for an animal charity which trains dogs. This has equipped me with a variety of techniques to help dogs settle into unfamiliar environments. I understand how important it is to let them choose how they want to interact. I work full time so am only able to offer weekend cover. I wouldn't plan to leave any dog alone in a new place no matter how adaptable they are. I don't have any of my own pets as they don't suit my schedule. I have a small, fully secure back garden and live in a fairly quiet cul de sac. I don't use any punishing equipment eg half check collars or pet correcter. But I'm happy to chat about dogs who need muzzles (if they're already wearing them).
About: I offer calm, reliable dog care with clear communication and a steady routine. Whether it’s house sitting, boarding, or day care, I’ll always be honest before booking about my availability and how long your dog may be left. I’m best suited to dogs who enjoy a calm environment, gentle attention, and someone who takes their routine seriously. I’m also comfortable caring for nervous dogs, older dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I keep owners updated, follow instructions carefully, and aim to help each dog feel safe, settled, and looked after while you’re away. I have a flexible routine and I’m always clear before booking about my availability, including how long your dog may be left. I keep care calm, steady, and built around your dog’s usual routine, with regular walks, feeding, attention, and quiet settling time. I care for dogs in a calm, safe, and structured way, whether in your home or mine. I follow your instructions closely, respect your home, keep things clean, and make sure your dog has a relaxed, predictable environment. I’m patient with nervous dogs and careful around routines, boundaries, and comfort needs.
About: Both myself and my partner Amy have had dogs all our lives, and love having them around. I work from home near the quarry with a fenced garden. I/we will give them attention and regular walks, and they can roam the house and garden as they see fit. I work from home most days, and our plans vary weekend by weekend. I live close to the quarry and have a fenced garden. We are very relaxed and want the dog to feel at home with us, having fresh water, attention and walks. We have always loved dogs, we will look after them however you tell us, but generally lots of attention and walks! They can make the house their own!
“Abbie took great care of our kitty and house while we were away. She was easy to communicate with and also sent updates. Knowing that our fur baby was in good hands made it easier to be away. Thank you so much Abbie!”
“This was a really good experience leaving my cat Armani with Kin for 10 days. She is very trustable and takes proper care of my pet, very regular with her updates which I very well appreciate. Armani seems to like her as well. Will definitely get in touch again whenever I need a cat sitter :)”

Phillipa was great caring for our fluffy and feathered friends over a long weekend. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos and made sure our pets had everything they needed whilst we were away. Would highly recommend her, and will be booking again with her sometime soon!
Without a doubt the best, most trustworthy cat sitter I have used. After meeting before we went away on holiday, myself and my partner both said how lovely and just genuinely warm of a person she is when she left. I was updated daily with messages and pictures, Charlotte spent time playing with our cat and really managed to build a bond in the week we were away. I would recommend Charlotte to anyone and would 100% use again.
Amy was absolutely fantastic looking after our cat, Smartie, while we were on holiday. As first-time users of a cat sitter, we were naturally a little apprehensive, but Amy put our minds at ease from day one. She visited every morning and evening to feed Smartie and spend time with him, allowing him to stay happy and relaxed in the comfort of his own home. The daily updates and photos were wonderful, and it was clear how much care and attention she gave him. Amy is friendly, professional, highly responsive, and genuinely goes above and beyond. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and would recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you, Amy! 🐾
Gemma was brilliant at making our slightly timid cat be at ease and our cat warmed up to her in now time. Gemma responds promptly and is a brilliant cat sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friend!
Kirstie took such great care of my three cats. She made extra effort to check on one particularly shy girl to make sure she was ok. Photo and text updates were provided each day so I was able to travel with peace of mind. I would 100% recommend Kirstie to friends and family and will be booking with her again in the future.

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Shropshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Shropshire is £13 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £20 per Visit.
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.
There are 384 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Shropshire. About 89% of Shropshire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 poo breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, 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 key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
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've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've 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're 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'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 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 booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
