“Dave was a welcome new face! He was extremely responsive to messaging and I was thrilled to meet him and so were the pets. He did a fantastic job looking after Storm and Camarin for me, and I look forward to the next sit we complete. I felt like I left them in safe hands while I had to be away.”
“Hollie was amazing this weekend, looking after our quirky pup. Not only was she brilliant with our dog, but the house has been really cared for as well. We'd highly recommend Hollie to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Sam was wonderful. As it was the first time Sam sat for us he arranged a pre visit which was brilliant as we got to know a little bit about Sam and it was great to see how he interacted with our dog. During his stay he kept us updated with pictures and videos and he left the house immaculate and one very happy pooch.”
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: I have looked after dogs my whole life and have dog sat for both family and friends. I love all dogs and provide the best care I can I work full time, whilst also having 1 day off during the week, being a tuesday, I also have weekends off and am available whenever during these days. I have a fenced back garden and also make sure to check all gates are closed before letting any dogs out into the garden both night and day.
About: I have grown up with a dog in the family home. Friends and family have relied on me to walk and take care of their dogs for many years. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, am confident walking and socialising any dog, and have looked after dogs with additional medical and behavioural needs. I am passionate about providing a stress-free, fun and enriching experience for any dog that I am responsible for. I am available for check-ins and walks in the evenings, and currently have availability for house-sitting and all other services at weekends. I have my own vehicle so can get to and from your home easily. I ensure an enjoyable and stress-free experience for your dog by following their usual routine and bringing my friendly and calming personality into any situation. I can confidently care for your dog even if they have specialist medical or behavioural needs. I am capable of taking care of multiple dogs at the same time if you have a multi-pet household. I love the outdoors and will happily exercise your dog in all weathers.
“Bridie was great and we’re so happy to have found her! Our dogs (and cats) were well looked after and they seemed chilled when we got back. There were no problems and Bridie is very friendly.”
“Eve was amazing with our 2 dogs and cat. We were 100% happy and comfortable leaving them with her and they were all happy too. Eve's communications with us were brilliant from the meet and greet onwards. Fantastic petsitter 😁”
“Alice took wonderful care of my Labrador, Willow, over a weekend at my house, and she followed all the odd instructions l had left, ensuring that Willow was happy and relaxed with her normal routines. I felt very confident and comfortable leaving Alice in charge; she was extremely responsible and I would definitely ask her to help another time.”
“Booked Charlie for the first time to look after our pup & we were really pleased. She is very easy to communicate with and is a kind and respectful person. She came early to get to know our dog first and came across as very calm but confident and responsive to his needs. We left the house feeling he was in safe hands and she sent us pictures and updates. When it came to say goodbye, we could clearly see that our dog had taken to her and we're already looking to her for our next booking(s).”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs throughout my school years, with many friends and family relying on me to care for their gorgeous pets. Along side this i have grown up with a lovely jack russel since i was 10! I have now finished college, with a lot more time on my hands where I can care for your fury friends whilst you take some much needed care time, or just simply to get away! I’m currently working part-time at a pub, so I will have plenty of time to care for your fury one in-between my shifts! I can easily arrange a meet up, prior to my first pet sit, to ensure I know and understand the needs of your pet and the safety precautions you may have in or around your house!
“Josie is just lovely. She came to see us pre-booking to meet Polly & Belle and we immediately felt re-assured we were leaving the girls with not only someone who would care for them but also genuinely loved dogs. She kept us updated whilst we were away and we came home to two very sleepy (hot weather) but happy pooches. A huge bonus was the care and consideration given to our home. It was pristine and she had even washed the bedding! No hesitation in recommending Josie. We will certainly be using her again.”
“It has been a very hot week in the UK and our dog Mitchell does not do well in the heat. However: KIM CAME PRIOR TO OUR HOLIDAY TO INTRODUCE HERSELF AND LOOKED AFTER OUR MOAN OLD BOY IN EVERY WAY. KIM EVEN BROUGHT A FAN OF HER OWN IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP HIM COOL. HE WAS NOT STRESSED OR UPS3T WITH US AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE EFFORT KIM HAS GIVEN IN LOOKING AFTER OUR DOG. I CANNOT RECOMMEND MORE HIGHLY THIS PERSON TO LOOK AFTER YOUR PET. THANK YOUU KIM.”
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. 🧼
“First sit for Florence with Megan. Pooch so excited to see her again after our Meet and Greet. Megan was very calm and managed Florence beautifully. Lovely photos and videos to show how settled Florence was while we were out. ☺️”
“Megan and Simon came for an introductory visit prior to booking and Alfie took to them straight away. They took a real interest in his likes and dislikes, his schedule and his health issues (previously epileptic but no longer has seizures). They understood that all the health tests he had had previously made him nervous and anxious around strangers and handled this really well. Megan looked after Alfie in our home for 7 days. She took good care of him and was respectful in our home. Megan provided regular updates so we knew Alfie was ok and it was clear from the pictures she sent that Alfie settled with her and was having lots of cuddles. I would happily use Megan and Simon’s services again. Thanks 🙂🐾”
“This was the first time leaving my dog Del and I couldn’t be happier with the care and peace of mind Imogen provided. She sent regular updates and the cutest photos. Del loved her day out and definitely missed her when she left 😂 I feel lucky to have found Imogen and will definitely be booking again. Thank you! Xx”
“Jessica was amazing at helping me out last minute. I was in the area for a funeral and needed dog care last minute when I found out my dog couldn’t be left unattended where I was staying. Jessica helped me out. She was super helpful and got there early so she helped look after Delilah when I was getting ready and took her for a lovely walk! She sent me update photos. Thank you so much Jessica! You are a star ⭐️”

Alice took wonderful care of my Labrador, Willow, over a weekend at my house, and she followed all the odd instructions l had left, ensuring that Willow was happy and relaxed with her normal routines. I felt very confident and comfortable leaving Alice in charge; she was extremely responsible and I would definitely ask her to help another time.
Tamsin was a godsend for us over the weekend of a wedding. Our dog has special needs and had had unexpected surgery just before the booking as well. Tamsin was completely unphased by this and was delightful, punctual, professional and considerate throughout. No hesitation to book her for our dog again.
Lois looked after my puppy Phoebe for the day. I’m really grateful for her help and Phoebe had a great day. Lois clearly loves dogs and was great with Phoebe. Got updates and photos during the day so I knew all was going well. Thank you Lois, much appreciated and will definitely be in touch when I need a dog sitter again 😊
We couldn't recommend Becca highly enough. She helped us out with house sitting this weekend for our 12 week old puppy, and he was in great hands. Because was friendly, polite and responsive when we first contacted her, and was happy to have a call to get all the initial details. She confirmed the booking quickly, and was great on the day. She arrived and our puppy took to her instantly. She obviously has great experience with animals, especially dogs, as she could handle him and his puppy stage perfectly. She spent time with us to learn about the routine, house, going out etc., and followed all these throughout they day. She gave us lots of updates and pictures, and seems like they had a great day together. It made our day away much more comfortable knowing he was being well looked after. He was absolutely shattered when we got home, and slept all night. Would definitely recommend Becca to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, and we're already booking her in for our next away day.
Sarah was a wonderful house-sitter. She looked after our little cocker spaniel and our bengal cat who were both very content during her stay. She provided plenty of updates and Margot our dog got lots of wonderful walks. We were very happy we booked Sarah to stay! Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting – Shropshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shropshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 579 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shropshire. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Shropshire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Shropshire choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
