“Ronnie had an amazing time with Helen and family. He had lots of fun, walks, play and cuddles and really was treated as one of the family 😊 Helen and family were fantastic, reassuring us and sending updates. It was the first time we had used a Day sitting service and I honestly can’t recommend Helen enough, looking forward to Ronnies next visit”
“I've just picked River up from Day Care with Kass and it's clear to see that she's had a great time! Kass updated us with messages and pictures of River letting us know that she had settled well 🐾”
“Ben was absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Kaiser had an incredible time, Ben kept me updated throughout the day with general updates on Kaisers wellbeing and lots of photos. Ben is calm and collected and understood Kaisers requirements which made me feel at ease leaving Kaiser with him for day care. I would 100% recommend and will be absolutely using him again.”
“What a wonderful experience. Kim and Casey where really good....I was kept up to date with photos all day long, very flexible with delivering and puck up times and I could see from the photos that Shanti wad feeling at home which is what you really want for your dog....i will recommend Kim and use her day care again....thank you so much”
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.
“River had a great time with Lucie for daycare 🐾 We booked at short notice and Lucie was quick to respond and happy to arrange a meet & greet before the booking took place. We received updates & photos during Rivers stay and it was clear to see that River has enjoyed her day! Thank you ☺️”
“Niamh, a 2 year old Vizsla, had a lovely time with Sarah. Sarah was friendly and communicative. We were welcomed by Sarah and Stan on arrival. Niamh came back after her stay looking happy having had a great time with Stan and another cocker who was there.”
About: Hello, I’m Karen. Having grown up with dogs, especially varying types of spaniels, my love for them has grown even more into adulthood and I understand that dogs are family. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of dogs. I have 40+ years of experience in dog walking and dog care, with a passion for dogs having a happy home. Whether your dog needs extra belly rubs or a patient companion, I am dedicated to providing a safe, loving environment. I believe love is just a tail wag away. Dog people are my people. No matter how long we have our dogs, it's never long enough. My dogs are not pets; my dogs are family. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own dogs and caring for family and friends' dogs over the years. I have plenty of availability to provide love and care for your beloved pet dog. I will take the initiative to slowly build trust with your dog through patient, consistent and compassionate care. I have a secure garden. The garden is surrounded by fencing and hedging, and includes a gate. The garden has a lawn and patio area.
About: I've had dogs for the past 8 years and have previously looked after family and friends dogs too as my day job (environmental economist) is 100% remote from home. This means I am always at home with my Golden doodle Briannah and would love to extend our hometo other dogs too either for day care or dog boarding. I enjoy an active life style and live in rural Dorrington within a short walk from an open field and countryside with plenty of opportunities for dogs to exercise on or off the lead. As explained in my bio I work from home so I am typically always in the house during a normal working day. I walk my dog twice a day morning and evening where we go to the nearby field and play fetch or go for a country walk in the surrounding public footpaths. However I can accommodate 3 walks a day if that is what your dog is used to. We have a decent sized fenced garden and I let my dog go out as much as she wants to and I would do the same for yours. If he or she likes company I can set up their dog bed in my study and they can be by my side at all times. As I explained the garden is a good size (around 90m2) and is fenced so there is no way out. I am happy to walk off lead at your recommendation particularly if they like to play fetch but would keep them on the lead otherwise. We have 3 children age ranges 0 to 9 and my older two love to see new dogs and will typically get me to ask if we may pet them whilst we are out and about. As we have a cat dogs who are used to them are preferred. Either way my cat will typically hide at first as she did when we got our dog but with time she learns to trust them.
“Louis was absolutely brilliant. He helped us out with a sit at very short notice and was really friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and you could tell he really loves dogs. Stanley was very happy and we'll definitely be booking again”
“Kin has been amazing with my puppies and they had such a great time, they will 100% be visiting again. Kin sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Thank you so much Kin, I recommend Kin to care for your family pets.”

About: I have had and taken care of my own dog for 12 years. I have also dog sat for family and froends for the past 5 years I have just finished university so I am home all the time able to give constant attention and care to pet.

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.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life growing up. Always having a furry friend around allowed me to grow knowledge and to better understand the needs of many different breeds shapes and sizes (making me the pur-fect person to take care of your pup(s) 😆) I joined Rover back in 2023 when I was living abroad in Canada along side doing additional dog sitting/ walking through word of mouth in the town I lived in. Now that I’m back in the uk I would love to continue! I volunteered in an animal shelter for a year whilst in college growing my understanding on the needs of different animals and breeds and also allowing me to learn how to confidently administer medications. (even to those who’s mission it is to make it very difficult!!) I’m currently working part time hours, so have lots of time do look after your pets!- - - - - - - - - - When caring for your pup in your home I will always make sure they are comfortable and stick to their routines they are used to with you!

Sarah helped us out looking after Maud while we attended a local festival during our holiday. Using a sitter that you’ve not previously met is a leap of faith but Sarah’s reviews and profile as well as her thoughtful communication before the sit helped me feel confident - and this was well founded. She clearly put the dog’s needs first, took a very gentle calm approach and seemed to genuinely enjoy getting to know and care for Maud.
Riley has a lovely time with Kass and Maggie, he is always excited to arrive and is regularly trying to pull me back to her house whenever we are nearby! Kass is clearly really experienced in taking care of dogs and is constantly ensuring they are comfortable in their surroundings and also with the other dogs that she may have in at that time which is really reassuring. Thank you Kass!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Shropshire on Rover is £24.15 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 477 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Shropshire. About 83% 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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Shropshire commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
