“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 🥰”
“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! 😺😻😹”
“Gemma was great at giving our cats the attention they like, as well as food! She communicated well and updated me about how things were going - and dealt very efficiently when they brought in some unexpected presents!”
“Sarah went above and beyond to help look after my two kitties Simba and Mush whilst we were on holiday. The boys adored her and I was sent regular updates and lovely pictures. I would highly recommend Sarah’s services if you are looking for the best care for your furry companion whilst you are away. Thanks a million Sarah! 😊”
“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.”
“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! ”
“One word sums it up: FANTASTIC. Eleanor truly went above and beyond for my pets. Dusty is an older rescue cat who can get nervous when I’m away, but she was calm, happy, and completely herself — a real testament to her care. I’ll be using Eleanor from now on whenever I go away. It’s such a comfort not having to worry. Thank you so much — we’ll see you again soon.”
“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 :)”
“Jess has ensured our cat has been cared for whilst we had a short break away. Great peace of mind, Jess adds photos and important info to let us know how she is! Would highly recommend.”
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).
“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: I have a pooch of my own, he's my best friend. I've been dog sitting and walking for family and friends for years. I work fairly flexibly from home so am happy to assist other pet owners walk their dogs. I work fairly flexibly from home as a software tester, so I have time around the day to walk and drop in and visit pets. I usually walk my dog before and after work. I don't offer care in my own home for other pets but happy to drop in to your homes to feed, for toilet breaks or walks.
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: A little about me 🐾 My love for animals started from a young age. I was brought up around both dogs and cats and have always loved caring for them and getting to know their individual personalities. Over the years, I’ve had experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, from big American Bulldogs and Staffies to Jack Russells and energetic Cocker Spaniels. I’ve also helped with training and caring for dogs throughout their lives. One of my most special experiences was assisting my Staffy through the birth of her puppies and helping to raise and care for them. I’ve also had experience around working dogs on a farm, including sheepdogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs with very different temperaments, energy levels and needs. I genuinely feel that I have a natural connection with animals and enjoy giving them the attention, patience and care they need. Whether that means a good walk and some playtime for an energetic dog, or simply keeping a cat company and making sure they’re happy and comfortable at home, I’m happy to adapt to each pet. I’m based in Shrewsbury and offer dog walking, home visits and overnight house sitting. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so I’m always up for a good walk with a four-legged friend, while also appreciating that some pets are much happier with a quieter pace and plenty of cuddles. Most importantly, I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. I’ll treat your pets as I would my own and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention and care while you’re away. 🐶🐱❤️ My availability is flexible and varies each week due to my supply TA work. I’ll update my availability weekly, so I can accommodate bookings around my school schedule. I live in a semi-detached house with a fully fenced garden. My home is smoke-free and there are no other pets in the household. I’m currently offering dog walking, home visits and house sitting rather than boarding pets in my own home.
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. 🧼

“Georgia was brilliant with Nova when we needed her to have a little company. Fantastic at communicating, answers any concern you may have. Will 100% be booking another visit with you.”
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.

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.
One word sums it up: FANTASTIC. Eleanor truly went above and beyond for my pets. Dusty is an older rescue cat who can get nervous when I’m away, but she was calm, happy, and completely herself — a real testament to her care. I’ll be using Eleanor from now on whenever I go away. It’s such a comfort not having to worry. Thank you so much — we’ll see you again soon.
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 for Cat Sitting in Shropshire on Rover is £13 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.
