“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!”

“Tamsin was great, would highly recommend her to look after any dog. From the initial booking to the sit she was responsive and when she arrived she was immediately at ease around Snoopy and it was very reassuring to see how he settled with her. During the sit Tamsin gave us updates and even when Snoopy had a few moments she was really great with him.”

“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.”

“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 😁”


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!

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've looked after and loved animals since I was a child with our own beloved dogs and cat. In the last 5 years I've pet and house sat extensively, around the UK and abroad. I've looked after packs of dogs (9 is the winning number to-date!), young animals, animals with strict medication routines, challenging needs or behaviours and understand that every pet is different. I am patient, respectful with a genuine love of animals, which means I will look after you pet/s with the utmost care. I'm here to understand you and your pet/s needs, so don't hesitate to reach out. I'm available for drop-ins, house stays (for 1 day whilst youre at work or longer periods) and walks. If you're looking for a more regular sitter/walker, I'd be very happy to work that out with you. Shrewsbury is my hometown so I know it very well and would love to take your dog exploring! I work full-time remotely, this gives me complete freedom to move around and come to you! My schedule is totally flexible and can work around walks, feeds, with lots of time throughout the day for love and plays. I am happy to follow any guidance you leave to look after your dog in your own home, whether crating, keeping on leads or in certain areas of the house etc.
“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: Hi! I’m Caitlin, i'm 25 from Glasgow based in the Shrewsbury / Ford area As an owner to my cat, Shadow, and having hands-on experience handling dogs of various sizes and temperaments, I understand that pets need individualized care and total trust. I'm a friendly, reassuring bubbly person that would love to take care of your furry family <3 I am confident handling energetic breeds, managing strong pullers on-lead, and reading canine and feline body language to keep visits stress-free. With full mobility, high fitness, and my own reliable transport, I can commute directly to your home or safely transport your dog to scenic local trails. Services & Skills: Dog Walking: 30-minute neighbourhood walks or extended 60+ minute countryside routes tailored to your dog's energy level. Drop-in Visits: 30-minute check-ins covering feeding, fresh water, litter/yard clean-up, basic medication administration, and focused mental stimulation or playtime. Clear Reassurance: Prompt text updates and photo/video check-ins after every booking so you know your pet is safe, stimulated, and settled. I take pride in sticking strictly to your pet's routine. Get in touch with any questions or custom schedule requests! My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so whether you need an early morning dog walk or evening feeding time covered i’d be happy to help out! I do ask for 3 days notice minimum so i can ensure to schedule things accordingly :) Safety & Trust are key - I’m happy to send messages / photo updates letting you know that your fur babies are taken care of. Any extra info such as environment, specifics to make your animals feel comfortable just let me know in advance! I’ll be sure to look after your pets in every way that makes them feel comfy, safe & loved

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. 🧼
“Annabel helped us with our cat and very timid dog. A couple of nights pet sitting, which we have never done before. Annabel’s patience paid off and slowly gained the trust of our dog, he is genuinely a very complex character, and we couldn’t be more delighted with the experience. We will definitely carry on and book again soon...”

“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. ☺️”

“Kira came over in her free time before her visit with Ben to familiarise herself the house and Ben and introduce herself to him going out of her way to do this, was very friendly and great with Ben. During the visit she communicated well with me during the day to update me about Ben and my house was left as she found it. Was a delight to have you looking after Ben!”

About: Dog Walker, Pet sitter & Overall animal lover I offer pet services, you can find my page on fb - Paws & Plays 🐾 I am a friendy, reliable pet lover who genuinely loves spending time with animals! Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some company whilst you're out / away. Insurance, pet first aid certificate and DPS check ✅🐾 I have recently come back from travelling.

I own a lovely two bed cottage and have a fenced garden so I have plenty of space for your pet. I also live by lots of woodland which is great for a dog walk.
“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 ⭐️”


About: I have adopted 8 elderly dogs since 2012 and have loved every second of making sure they have lived their final days in comfort and with love. I currently work remotely from home so very easy to have dogs here with me - it's a very calm, safe and dog friendly environment. I have a secure back yard that the dogs can play or snooze in - very secure. A lunchtime walk at the nearby park is essential. Plenty of space to explore in the house. No furniture is off-limit!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Shropshire is £35

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!

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.
