We would highly recommend Natalia as a great career who is very natural and relaxed.”

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.”

Biscuit really enjoyed her time with Man Choi and Man Choi made sure Biscuit had lots of fuss and all her medication, food and drink and toilet breaks too!

“Rebecca and her partner had Nigel very last minute and our usually nervous doggy settled in so so well and was snuggled up to Rebecca in no time! Lovely to deal with, Nigel says he would love to stay again when we are next in the area.”
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!
“Lufra had a good time with Karen, enjoying good walks and the company of her cocker spaniels. Good communication and flexible when we wanted to pick Lufra up early on our way home.”
“Pippa had a great time staying at Louise’s and playing with her dog. She sent regular updates and photos whilst we were away which set our minds at rest that she was ok while we were away.”
“First time leaving Jessie and Buddy with a sitter, they loved it! Emma was friendly and reassuring, we met up a few days before and she explained everything. We were kept up to date with regular messages and pics. Emma was brilliant with them and we will certainly leave our babies with her in future.”

Sarah is an amazing dog host. Rupert was treated so well and came home really calm and happy. He even whined when he was leaving. I think he wanted to stay for longer. Sarah kept in touch with me all the time he was with her sending regular upgrades and fantastic photographs. I can't praise her enough
I was really nervous about finding pet care for my older rescue dog Betsy. After finding out a local kennels didn’t even walk the dogs who boarded I was then recommended Rover. After reading a number of profiles I came across Abbie. She was fairly priced and described a lovely service. We met one evening and I immediately knew Betsy would be safe with Abbie. We dropped Betsy off the morning of a 11 night holiday and as soon as we arrived at Abbie’s home I knew Betsy was going to be in the right place with the right person while we were away. Abbie sent regular updates of how Betsy was getting on, showing she was comfortable and settled. Betsy enjoyed her daily walks and Abbie and looked very content just like at home. If you’re worried about booking your dog to stay with a dog sitter don’t, if you find someone like Abbie you will have absolutely nothing to worry about. This was the best chocie for us and I would choose Abbie to look after Betsy again and again. Betsy came home happy , and I’m quite sure she’s missing Abbie also! Thank you Abbie for looking after Betsy so well!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shropshire is £35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between £26 and £44 per night.
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.
As of November 2026, there are 482 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across the city of Shropshire. About 91% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 482 sitters in Shropshire, 73% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
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.
