“Lucie looked after my Dalmatian Oddie and gave him a really lovely time. He was looked after brilliantly and I can tell from the photos throughout his stay he has been settled and having a great time.

“The perfect dog boarding experience provided by a lovely couple who adore dogs, in an idyllic peaceful countryside setting with excellent communication throughout. Our two larger breed (lurcher & greyhound) dogs were looked after brilliantly and quickly built a trusting bond with Tracy and Seb. Their home and gardens are stunning and they are so warm, welcoming and accommodating- it truly is a beautiful holiday for your dogs while you’re away. ❤️ Do I want to gatekeep you guys? Yes. Would I recommend you to absolutely everyone though? In a heartbeat.”
About: Hi I'm Kim, an enthusiastic do lover from birth. I've always been around dogs from a young age. I've cared and loved my own terrier for 5 years now and he is the loveliest little boy you will ever meet. It can be a nervous time trusting a stranger with your fur baby but my aim is to treat your dog as if they were my own. I am more then happy to broaden my experience and care for other breeds and wonderful animals. I will also send you photos and videos and keep you updated on what your doggo is up to I live in a friendly neighbourhood in a cosy, and safe environment with a fenced off garden to run around in. I regularly go out for walks with my dog the same time every day. I try and mix things up and visit different places or routes to make it interesting. Feeding is also part of the routine at the same time, day and night. Your dog will have toys to play with and a friend to socialise with in my very cosy and open home. Dogs have free reign of the whole house, Chilling on the sofa or cuddles in bed, water is regularly topped up and an abundant of treats are always on stand by
“Elena looked after Parker for us for two nights. We had met her before at an arranged meet and greet-which went really well. Whilst Parker was in Elena’s care, she kindly sent us regular updates with photographs, so we knew he was ok. Gave us a summary of how he had been on collection. Would recommend Elena. Thank you for having Parker for us.”
“Carlos is amazing. He’s reasonably priced, super reliable and very friendly. I was worried about leaving my dog as she has bad separation anxiety but she had a great time with the whole family and his dog. 10/10 would recommend and will be using again in the future.”

Mya had a great stay with Natalia and her Partner and was beautifully cared for. She very obviously didn't want to leave yesterday and was a little morose when we returned home. She cheered up with a long walk however. I was very impressed by Natalias confidence at letting Mya off the lead & her excellent training skills. Thank you for taking great care of Mya.
My golden retriever had a lovely stay, he was well looked after and by the looks of photos had lots of fun with his new friends. Communication was great and I felt straight at ease after leaving Hendricks for 6 nights. Highly recommend and will be booking again, thank you.

We booked Kassandra to look after our lovely boy Watson while we were on holiday, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely reassured knowing Kass would take such good care of him.Every day we received multiple photos and updates of Watson playing with other dogs, enjoying his walks, and even splashing around in the paddling pool. Seeing him so relaxed and happy made our time away so much easier.It was also a huge bonus that Kass lives only a five‑minute drive from our home, making drop‑off and pick‑up simple and stress‑free.We would fully recommend Kass to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again, and we can’t thank her enough for looking after our boy so well.We think he's already missing her!
Lucie looked after my Dalmatian Oddie and gave him a really lovely time. He was looked after brilliantly and I can tell from the photos throughout his stay he has been settled and having a great time. My mind was set at ease having the updates and photos and this meant I had a really good time away. This was the longest Oddie has been with someone for a very long time and Lucie made Oddie feel so at home. Thank you so much Lucie! I am so grateful!
Having been badly let down by our usual kennels, Sarah came to our rescue the day before our trip, providing a safe and friendly home for our Jack Russell’s, Jackie & Eli. During what turned out to be the hottest days on record, Sarah took great care of our ‘girls’. All were thoroughly exhausted from the oppressive heat when we came to collect the girls and it is a shame that the weather prevented them from having some adventures. Sarah provided excellent communication throughout and is clearly an expert dog lover. We will definitely be using her again and will be booking the ‘girls’ in for their next stay soon, hopefully the weather will be kinder.
Emily and Dickie looked after my Dalmatian Oddie for me and gave him the absolute best time. He has been treated like a king! It was such a weight off my shoulders knowing that he was happy and being looked after so well. I loved having photos and videos sent of him while I was away. Emily and Dickie are both so lovely. Even with me moving quite a distance away soon I would 100% choose Emily and Dickie again. Thank you to you both again I am so greatful!
Emma was fantastic with Tinkerbell and Charlie. Very attentive and proactive. Especially with my older dog who had a small problem, however Emma acted quickly and compassionately and kept me updated. Emma sent lovely pictures of them enjoying walks, and cuddles on the sofa. Would definitely use her again.. if she is willing!
I have picked up my Jack Russell Milo from his holiday stay with Briony today and he looks very well and happy, although he was very pleased to see us, he was calm and content as well. I had great messages and photos from Briony while we were away keeping us informed of Milo’s day’s activities, which my granddaughters loved to see. I am very happy with the care Milo has received while he has been with Briony and her family and would gladly send Milo for another stay. It is a great relief to know your dog is having a good time while you’re away on holiday.

FAQs for Boarding - Shropshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shropshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 480 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shropshire. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in West Midlands may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
