“Amy was amazing when looking after my 2 cats doing drop in visits. She went above and beyond making sure they were getting plenty of fuss and that they were being taken care of whilst we were away! Fantastic service and communication, thank you!”
“Thank you Philippa. First time I have left my 2 fur boys without anyone at the house. They are too free range to put in cattery. Liquorice enjoyed her drop ins and so did Clint. A huge relief and peace of mind with someone so trust worthy. Loved the updates on the app. Thank you again”
“Thank you so much for looking after Oliver! He’s had a lovely time :) Sarah is a wonderful pet sitter. From meeting Oliver for the first time and playing his favourite game with him to build rapport to the last Rover Card update, she has provided a quality service and Oliver has been so well looked after. He’s had lots of play, treats and even a brush, it feels like he’s had a little mini break at home :) Will definitely be booking with Sarah again. Thank you!!”
“Gemma is brilliant - we only booked a short visit but as sassy as Binks is, shes been absolutely fine when we arrived home. Will definitely ask for Gemmas help again when we next go away!”
“One word sums it up: FANTASTIC. Eleanor truly went above and beyond for my pets. Dusty is an older rescue cat who can get nervous when I’m away, but she was calm, happy, and completely herself — a real testament to her care. I’ll be using Eleanor from now on whenever I go away. It’s such a comfort not having to worry. Thank you so much — we’ll see you again soon.”
“Oliver had a lovely time being cared for by Jess!! She took the time to meet him beforehand and he immediately took to her which was reassuring, and that was before any treats had even come out!! I received lovely updates and heard that there was lots of playtime and some treats which he loved. I came home to a very happy cat, will definitely rebook!! Thank you, Jess :)”
About: I have a dog of my own. 11 year old cocker spaniel Daisy who is my whole world . I have experience training her from a pup as well as been surrounded by dogs when looking after families and friends. I’m currently focusing on training for new career direction so I am completely flexible and happy to look after your furry friends. ❤️ I’m currently focusing on training to begin a new career so have a lot of free time and I’m completely flexible and happy to fit in looking after fury friends whenever suits. ☺️ I have a large fenced garden for your dogs to enjoy. I also have free time so I’m able to spend valuable play time with your dogs should they want or need it. I’m happy to come to pet owners homes I am organised, efficient, tidy and friendly. I can work around your schedules and be there for your dogs when works for you!
About: I work for an animal charity which trains dogs. This has equipped me with a variety of techniques to help dogs settle into unfamiliar environments. I understand how important it is to let them choose how they want to interact. I work full time so am only able to offer weekend cover. I wouldn't plan to leave any dog alone in a new place no matter how adaptable they are. I don't have any of my own pets as they don't suit my schedule. I have a small, fully secure back garden and live in a fairly quiet cul de sac. I don't use any punishing equipment eg half check collars or pet correcter. But I'm happy to chat about dogs who need muzzles (if they're already wearing them).
About: I have a pooch of my own, he's my best friend. I've been dog sitting and walking for family and friends for years. I work fairly flexibly from home so am happy to assist other pet owners walk their dogs. I work fairly flexibly from home as a software tester, so I have time around the day to walk and drop in and visit pets. I usually walk my dog before and after work. I don't offer care in my own home for other pets but happy to drop in to your homes to feed, for toilet breaks or walks.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I bring to every dog I look after. I’ve been a dog sister (my mum's dog) for over 10 years, so I understand dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and attentive, and I always treat each dog as if they were my own. I’m fit, healthy, and active, and I walk every day, which means your dog will get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and outdoor time tailored to their energy level. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities, including seniors who need extra patience and gentler care. I’m naturally calm, affectionate, and loving (dog kisses are always welcome!), and I focus on creating a safe, happy, and stress-free environment. Whether it’s long walks, companionship, or simply making sure your dog feels secure and loved while you’re away, you can trust that they’ll be in caring, capable hands with me. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full time as a teacher, so I’m available for dog walking in the evenings and on weekends. I already walk daily, so fitting pet walks into my schedule is easy and consistent. Dog boarding is available on weekends only, which allows me to give dogs my full attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of companionship without weekday time constraints. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet receives dependable, high-quality care, love, and attention during the times I commit to. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I always take time to understand a dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, training cues, and any special requirements so they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. They receive plenty of love, supervision, regular walks, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. I keep routines consistent and make sure dogs have their own space to relax while also enjoying lots of attention and affection. In a pet owner’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions closely. I focus on maintaining your dog’s normal routine, providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and any basic care needed. I’m reliable, tidy, and trustworthy, and I always make sure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
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: 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. 🧼
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.

The garden is surrounded by fencing and hedging, and includes a gate. The garden has a lawn and patio area.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Shropshire
Phillipa was great caring for our fluffy and feathered friends over a long weekend. She provided daily updates with pictures and videos and made sure our pets had everything they needed whilst we were away. Would highly recommend her, and will be booking again with her sometime soon!
Amy is a lovely warm friendly person who we instantly felt we could trust with our puppy. She spent an hour doing an introduction meeting, getting to know Daisy and us and the things she needed to know about. Amy is very experienced and knowledgable and has shared some useful information and tips with us. During her visits with Daisy she has made some lovely short film clips and has sent those to us the same day. We don’t have any qualms about trusting Amy with Daisy. Amy has also been really flexible and added on extra time when requested at short notice. Thank you to Amy from us and Daisy 🌼
Without a doubt the best, most trustworthy cat sitter I have used. After meeting before we went away on holiday, myself and my partner both said how lovely and just genuinely warm of a person she is when she left. I was updated daily with messages and pictures, Charlotte spent time playing with our cat and really managed to build a bond in the week we were away. I would recommend Charlotte to anyone and would 100% use again.
One word sums it up: FANTASTIC. Eleanor truly went above and beyond for my pets. Dusty is an older rescue cat who can get nervous when I’m away, but she was calm, happy, and completely herself — a real testament to her care. I’ll be using Eleanor from now on whenever I go away. It’s such a comfort not having to worry. Thank you so much — we’ll see you again soon.
Gemma was brilliant at making our slightly timid cat be at ease and our cat warmed up to her in now time. Gemma responds promptly and is a brilliant cat sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furry friend!
Kirstie took such great care of my three cats. She made extra effort to check on one particularly shy girl to make sure she was ok. Photo and text updates were provided each day so I was able to travel with peace of mind. I would 100% recommend Kirstie to friends and family and will be booking with her again in the future.
Sarah looked after our two elderly dogs today for the first time. One of our dogs is quite shy and sensitive and Sarah was fabulous with him, very gentle and encouraging. The other dog is sixteen and requires additional support which Sarah was happy to help with. We will definitely ask Sarah to look after our dogs again.

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!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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.
