“Amy was amazing when looking after my 2 cats doing drop in visits. She went above and beyond making sure they were getting plenty of fuss and that they were being taken care of whilst we were away! Fantastic service and communication, thank you!”
About: I have cared for animals from a young age, growing up with cats as beloved family pets. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of feline behavior and needs through my experience with a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, rodents, and reptiles. My work at an animal rescue center, caring for larger animals like horses, goats, and chickens—many with anxiety or behavioral issues—has strengthened my patience and attention to individual needs. When it comes to cats, I take the time to understand each one's unique personality and offer the same love and attention I would give my own. Whether it’s playing, grooming, or administering medication, I’m committed to ensuring your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I currently work remotely on a flexible schedule so I can do pop-in visits to suit you and your pet. Evening and mornings work best but day visits can be arranged. The services I offer are entirely tailored to you and your cat's specific needs. Trust is the foundation of any pet care service, and your cat’s safety and security are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your instructions, whether it's maintaining their routine, administering medication, or ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their home environment. You can count on me to provide attentive, reliable care, giving you peace of mind that your cat is in safe hands during each visit.
“Thank you Philippa. First time I have left my 2 fur boys without anyone at the house. They are too free range to put in cattery. Liquorice enjoyed her drop ins and so did Clint. A huge relief and peace of mind with someone so trust worthy. Loved the updates on the app. Thank you again”
“Thank you so much for looking after Oliver! He’s had a lovely time :) Sarah is a wonderful pet sitter. From meeting Oliver for the first time and playing his favourite game with him to build rapport to the last Rover Card update, she has provided a quality service and Oliver has been so well looked after. He’s had lots of play, treats and even a brush, it feels like he’s had a little mini break at home :) Will definitely be booking with Sarah again. Thank you!!”
“Fernanda was brilliant with our cat, making sure he was fed and was given his medications before also ensuring he was well looked after and given plenty of fuss and attention - he seemed very happy when we came home and the pictures and video updates we were sent daily gave us peace of mind. Would definitely recommend Fernanda and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again in future.”
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 train, breed and have fostered guide dogs for a number of years. We love all animals and offer a safe loving and fun environment. I'm at home working as a carer, i also craft from home. Dogs are my life alongside my husband. We have lots of free time to spend with your furbaby. We have a secure fenced garden full of toys and play areas with cctv. Our 2 Labradors love having company. We offer plenty of enrichment for those unbearable hot days where it's not safe to take out for walks due to the heat. I have plenty of time,energy to spend with my own girls who love to spend time with newbie playmates. Ball chucks and long walks are a must in our daily routine. I also hold a Enhanced DBS as I volunteer craft days for the local council and also do Facepainting for children, my calendar fits around these activities.
“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: 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. 🧼
“Everything went very well indeed with Pippa looking after Maisie whilst I was away. Pippa administered her daily medicine perfectly, and Maisie was happy and relaxed on my return. Thank you again. ”
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 have adored and been around dogs all my life , both mine own and other dogs I've been trusted to look after. I'm experience handling breeds of all sizes and temperaments. From puppies to elderly dogs needing special care, . I have attended dog training and behaviour sessions in order to better understand individual and varieties of dog personalities and there needs. I currently work part time in a shop, but its only one day a week 12-4ish so still plenty of time or visits and walks. Apart from that im a practicing artist and writer working from home, so am available and happy to look after a dog most of the time. My own dog lives in my home so it is a dog-proof and safe place, my dog is a very friendly young spaniel, so if you dog needed to come to my house that would be no problem at all. However i would be inclined to want to look after a dog in its own home to avoid them becoming anxious or overwhelming both dogs. Also having a dog myself means i know some good walking spots and where its safe to let them off leads!
About: I have always loved animals. I currently have my adorable 3 year old Goldendoodle Nova and 10 year old cat Percy. I am a huge outdoor person who loves going out walking and exploring so there will always be time for your family members to come and join me. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. I currently work full time Mon-Fri but after 5pm I have all the time in the world for your pets for evening drop ins so you can enjoy a night out without any worries. I am also available at weekends, so if you ever have plans for a weekend away I am able to come make sure your fur babies are not alone. At home I have a secured fenced garden with a padlocked side gate. I have Nova who will always be willing to play in the garden or the local fields. In your home I am flexible to work and support your pets in your usual way to avoid any disruption to their day.

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.
Gemma was absolutely wonderful looking after our cats. She kept us updated with photos and videos, which was so reassuring while we were away. One of our cats is quite nervous and usually very unsure with new people, so we were a bit worried about how she’d cope. But Gemma was so gentle and patient with her, and we came home to a calm and happy Luna. Both cats were content and relaxed upon our return, not to mention our home being kept spotless. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Gemma again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!
Amy connected with Bob really well. We were very relieved as, although timid, he can be fiesty and prone to nips and claws! She sent a message and videos after every visit which was great and very reassuring. He really liked Amy and even allowed head rubs! She really is a cat whisperer. Bob is an older cat now and Amy did not mind clearing up after him with his runny poos! A bonus. We will definitely invite Amy to look after Bob again and He is in total agreement as he loved all the treats and fuss she gave him! 😺😻😹

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Shropshire on Rover is £12.65 per Visit (as of July 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 331 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 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.
