“Such a great home away from home for Albert! Helen was communicative and friendly, and sent loads of photos. The whole family is lovely and gave Albert lots of attention and cuddles; I don’t think he missed me at all!”
“Buddy spent 1 night with Ben this weekend and was really looked after. I was kept up to date with photos all day which was lovely. Thank you both and we will be back in touch soon to book Buddy's next stay :)”
“Kassandra was a great host for Albert. She very kindly arranged a meet and greet beforehand. Albert had a wonderful time with Kassandra, her family and her own dog. Her communication was prompt and informative. We would have no hesitations in booking Kassandra again and she comes highly recommended.”
“Lucie is excellent. So friendly, her communication is fantastic and her service was perfect. She followed our guidance and ensured Cagney was well cared for and she provided regular updates and pictures during Cagney’s stay. Couldn't ask for more.”
“Excellent from start to finish. Lovely photos to see how Marj was enjoyed her stay. Professional, competent, caring, fun loving Pet sitter. Will recommend and use again. Thank you for such great care.”
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
“We were in the area for a wedding and Sarah was really flexible in helping us with our dog, Drummer. She allowed us to attend the property the night before to meet her, see where he would be staying and meet the other dogs who were staying. Sarah immediately put us at ease in meeting her. We dropped him off the next morning and he was quite happy to go with her. When we picked him up he seemed happy and relaxed. Thanks, Sarah!”
About: I have had family pets since I was a child. I have had Loki, my 3 year old cat since he was 6 weeks old (rescued from local vets). Often look after family members dogs when they are on holiday or away for long periods of time. I work from home so pets will not be left alone during the day. I can provide toilet breaks and multiple walks a day as required. My sister is a RVN so have access to professional help in case of concerns. I work from home 5 days a week with the odd office day once every couple of months. I have the ability to walk around the estate/local park before work, during lunch break and after work if required. I have a fenced garden so dogs can not escape. There is plenty of room for a dog crate if required. My cat is used to other dogs, although he can be cautious, he often spends time with other dogs in the house.
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.
“Natalia and Neil were excellent looking after my 4 year old bulldog Norman is not use to being away from home but was made to feel safe well taken care of and he settled really quickly woukd highly recommended Natalia and Neil to anyone looking for doggy care”
“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.”
About: I have had experience of dogs since age 8 when my parents had 2 golden retrievers. There has only been a period of around 10 years in my life where I have not lived with dogs. I have bred rottweilers and German shepherds. I am a house husband so apart from nipping the shops, I am at home 95% of the time. We live in a rural area and within a 5 minute walk there is access to fields, woods and walks right by the wrekin. My whole life is pet care at the moment, I love it. I can do very last minute bookings so long as there can be a quick meet to establish all dogs are going to get on. I especially like big dogs and don't mind a bit boisterous / challenging. So long as they get on with my dogs. We have a good sized enclosed garden with dog flap doors which lead to the garden. I am a house husband and am at home 95% of the time. I take my dogs out for 3 to 4 walks a day starting very early in the morning. Our dogs are very playful and freindly with other dogs. I have had many a relatives dog stay over whilst they are away so I am very used to looking after multiple dogs. I have raised a few litters of pups, the last litter 12/2025.
“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.”
“Dave was a fantastic sitter for my very timid whippet he was so patient with her and took time to understand her ‘unique ways’ I would definitely ask Dave to look after Cagney again.”
“I feel like I have won the lottery after meeting Laura. She has been a brilliant carer for Bertie. Right from the meet and greet I could see how lovely she is. Very friendly and passionate about animals. I felt very reassured that Bertie was being loved during his stay and I will definitely recommend Laura to anyone who wants a loving family environment for their pet. So glad to have met Laura and her family.”

Would 100% recommend Sarah. We left our two dogs with her for two nights while we were at a wedding and as soon as we dropped them off I knew they’d be so well looked after. Communication before and during was great - I even got a few photos of them with updates. If we ever need a dog sitter in Shrewsbury again I wouldn’t ask anyone else!
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!
Brilliant dog sitters. Sent lots of update photos regularly each day , coco looked very happy and content whilst on her break there. Massive thank you to you both. We will definitely be recommending yourselves to friends and family and we look forward to using your service more regularly. Thank again to both.
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.
It was the first time we have used dog sitters for Bruno,he is a 2 year old lively Labradoodle, I needn't of worried,he had the best time with Helen & her family.He settled in perfectly,Helen followed instructions & kept me updated,he had an amazing time playing with the other dogs especially the spaniel,Helen & her family treated Bruno like one of theirs,lots of cuddles & attention.Was so pleased as we were at a wedding in Shrewsbury & it gave us peace of mind.Would definitely recommend Helen & Family
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shropshire on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 483 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 .
