About: As a teacher, I am naturally patient, reliable and caring, and I bring those same qualities to looking after animals. I absolutely adore pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. I do not have children, so my own dog is very much my baby, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can completely trust with your pet. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, including looking after neighbours’ pets while they are away on holiday, regularly caring for my parents’ and sister’s pets, and dog walking for elderly neighbours. I am confident with animals of different ages and temperaments and always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and loved. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet. I know every animal has their own routine, personality and needs, and I am happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. Whether that is long walks, lots of play and attention, or a calm and gentle approach for older or more nervous pets, I will always provide the same level of care that I would expect for my own dog. I currently have 6 weeks off over the summer holidays. Due to not having children, I can be incredibly flexible with pet care. I take my own dog for 3 walks a day anyway and enjoy physical activity. I have one cavapoo boy dog who absolutely loves company. We have a lovely fenced garden that we will often play in, an endless supply of toys and even a small paddling pool for the summer hotter months.
“Sarah looked after our two elderly dogs today for the first time. One of our dogs is quite shy and sensitive and Sarah was fabulous with him, very gentle and encouraging. The other dog is sixteen and requires additional support which Sarah was happy to help with. We will definitely ask Sarah to look after our dogs again.”
About: I've looked after and loved animals since I was a child with our own beloved dogs and cat. In the last 5 years I've pet and house sat extensively, around the UK and abroad. I've looked after packs of dogs (9 is the winning number to-date!), young animals, animals with strict medication routines, challenging needs or behaviours and understand that every pet is different. I am patient, respectful with a genuine love of animals, which means I will look after you pet/s with the utmost care. I'm here to understand you and your pet/s needs, so don't hesitate to reach out. I'm available for drop-ins, house stays (for 1 day whilst youre at work or longer periods) and walks. If you're looking for a more regular sitter/walker, I'd be very happy to work that out with you. Shrewsbury is my hometown so I know it very well and would love to take your dog exploring! I work full-time remotely, this gives me complete freedom to move around and come to you! My schedule is totally flexible and can work around walks, feeds, with lots of time throughout the day for love and plays. I am happy to follow any guidance you leave to look after your dog in your own home, whether crating, keeping on leads or in certain areas of the house etc.
“Another great visit from Amy who is helping do drop ins with our little puppy! She’s very reliable and has such a lovely way about her when Sandy. She’s even been able to do emergency drop ins when needed! Highly recommend.”
“Philippa is great. Was a little worried deciding if to leave them or put them in cattery but this was the best decision for my free rangers 🐈⬛🐈⬛ they love Philippa. Both cats are quite shy but they've taken to her 🥰🥰 so nice to know i can pop away now and not rely on neighbours Thank you so much Philippa 🥰”
“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!”
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.
“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 :)”
“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!”
About: Hi, I'm David! I work to ensure that fur babies of all sizes are properly looked after and cared for, with plenty of cuddles and attention. I've spent my life around animals and understand how irreplaceable loved ones are. I am willing to meet up before arrangements to find out whether we're a good fit for each other and your pet(s). Although I am new to this platform, I am not new to what it takes to care for a variety of different animals including Dogs, Cats, Birds, Hamsters, Reptiles and even my sheep named Minty. I love animals and I'm happy to learn how to care for them, even the ones I'm unfamiliar with. That doesn't stop at the type of pet or the personal needs that each may have. I understand that each pet has their own needs, including how long they can comfortably be left alone for. Pets would rarely be left alone for extended periods during my care, and I would send regular photo updates so you can see how they're getting on. Although I have a willingness to learn and adapt, I love animals so much that I would not feel comfortable feeding one animal to another pet (with the exception of bugs/insects). Transparency and honesty are important to me, so feel free to ask me anything. It's very important to me that both you and your fuzzy, fluffy, feathered or even scaly family member feel at peace knowing they're in safe hands. I am also fully DBS checked. In the unlikely event of an emergency, your pet's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I carry a phone at all times and will contact you immediately if any concerns arise. I am available early mornings and evenings. I can walk your pets for around 30 minutes, more or less depending on their needs, and would keep them within Shrewsbury. During stays I can maintain things like litter boxes and enclosures. If you require assistance with more extensive work, we can discuss things further. I look forward to helping. Pet Care 🐾 I work full time from home on a rota that varies between 8AM-9PM, but most shifts are between 8AM-6PM, and I sometimes work on weekends, because of this I don't have a 'set' schedule, however, I would almost always be available during the early morning, evening or on my days off to take care of your pets. Boarding & Drop-In Visits 🏡 Due to me working from home, if you require a pet sitter at your home I would be available on most days, providing that you have accessible Wi-Fi for me to connect my laptop to and a table for me to work at. If you require Drop-In Visits, I can also accommodate these on most days as my work hours can be flexible, but early mornings, lunch time and evenings would work best for me, let me know your preferences on Drop-In times and we can figure something out. 💕🌼 Pets have needs and wants like the rest of us. It's important for us to be in-tune of what they are, just as we would for ourselves. I know that I wouldn't appreciate my bathroom break being put on hold for an hour; when you gotta go, you gotta go! It's the same for them. 💩 I would give your pets frequent 'potty' breaks/walks to match their personal needs. I would also give your pets lots of love and attention throughout the stay and if you have a set schedule that your pet eats at and likes to take walks, please let me know and I will try my best to accommodate you and your pets needs. If your pet requires medicine, I have done this before and would be comfortable with administering that for them, just let me know beforehand precisely what dosage and how you typically provide that for them. 🩺 During home stays I would leave no mess behind and ensure I would maintain your home and any cat litter trays and/or enclosures. 🧼
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I bring to every dog I look after. I’ve been a dog sister (my mum's dog) for over 10 years, so I understand dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and attentive, and I always treat each dog as if they were my own. I’m fit, healthy, and active, and I walk every day, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time tailored to their energy level. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including seniors who need extra patience and gentler care. I’m naturally calm, affectionate, and loving (dog kisses are always welcome!), and I focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free environment. Whether it’s long walks, companionship, or simply making sure your dog feels secure and loved while you’re away, you can trust that they’ll be in caring, capable hands with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time as a teacher, so I’m available for dog walking in the evenings and on weekends. I already walk daily, so fitting pet walks into my schedule is easy and consistent. Dog boarding is available on weekends only, which allows me to give dogs my full attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of companionship without weekday time constraints. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives dependable, high-quality care, love, and attention during the times I commit to. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I always take time to understand a dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, training cues, and any special requirements so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They receive plenty of love, supervision, regular walks, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. I keep routines consistent and make sure dogs have their own space to relax while also enjoying lots of attention and affection. In a pet owner’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely. I focus on maintaining your dog’s normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any basic care needed. I’m reliable, tidy, and trustworthy, and I always make sure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been an avid animal lover as long as I can remember, having owned my own dog since age 7 and cat since age 16 I have grown to learn more and more every day. I have dog walked and sat for many friends, family and neighbours before as well as having completed a year of work experience at a veterinary practice where I came in contact with every breed, size, shape and temperament of both dogs and cats! This valuable experience has helped me develop my knowledge in pet care and stimulation. Looking after my dog in his last senior years also taught me what senior dogs need, as well as good medication taking techniques. I have done many dog training classes before in a rang of areas including obedience and agility. My passion lies with animals and always will, I thrive in giving pets what they deserve! I’m currently working 8-5pm Mon - Thurs and 8-1pm on a Friday. This allows me to be free on weekends, Friday afternoons as well as both early mornings and late evenings in the week. I drive and own my own car meaning transport is not an issue. I have a large semi-enclosed garden and field with many areas for your dogs to explore and run! I myself am an avid hiker, meaning I know many nice areas for your dogs to go as well as loving to take them on the long, stimulating walks they deserve.
About: I am a registered veterinary nurse with 22 years experience in pet care. I love cats and dogs and am able to medicate and care for your pets needs. Small furries can also be cared for. I am able to visit your pets around my schedule and work in veterinary practice. I have evening, weekend and some weekday availability. Please enquire for more info I will ensure your pet is safe at all times and can adapt to any needs you and your pet may have. Please enquire for further info
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 work away at sea for two-month periods as a private chef onboard large Superyacht, so I can’t have a dog of my own right now — but I’m a huge dog lover. When I’m home, I regularly help out on a friend’s small holding, often taking care of their two Huntaway dogs Harbour & Henley. I’m very comfortable with active, working breeds. I grew up walking my aunts Welsh Springer and Jack Russel whom I was very fond of. I would check in on them at take them on regular walks when she was on holiday, or join her on long walks at the weekend and whenever I could, also helping her train them as puppies and going to gun dog shows with her. On my father’s side, I always looked forward to trips to my uncles house where he always had 3 lively cockers that we’d play catch with in the fields at the back of his house. I’ve even had to cook for a yacht owners dog and we (the crew) took turns taking her for a walk. You’ll see on my photos a picture of me walking Blossom ashore in the Caribbean with her Tiffany collar! I’m also a big lover of the outdoors — long walks, camping trips, exploring, and mountain-biking in my Land Rover are my favourite ways to spend time, and I love nothing more than having a dog along for the adventure. Because I work away, I’m fully available for dog care when I’m home and therefore will have zero work commitments during the dates I mark myself as available. When I’m off, my schedule is very flexible — I’m outdoors most days anyway, so fitting in walks, drop-ins, or longer adventures is easy for me. I make sure any bookings I accept get my full attention and plenty of time. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. I’m calm, patient, and confident with all types of dogs. I take time to get to know each dog’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure with me. Whether we’re out exploring or relaxing at home, I keep a close eye on their wellbeing and always put trust, consistency, and care at the centre of everything I do. As I am currently in the middle of a house purchase at this time I can not host in my home, but I will be able to do so in the future in the Shrewsbury area.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shropshire on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 375 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Shropshire. About 90% 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 occured. 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 on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
