“Clare came and stayed with our 4 boys for a night's trial. They looked very content with her -looking at the photos she regularly sent us. We couldn't have been happier, so much so we have already booked her again! It is reassuring to know of her vetinary background and her genuine love for animals. We hope the boys keep behaving well for her as we would hate to lose her!!”
“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 😁”
“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”
“Frazer is an absolute star and we couldn’t have been happier with the care and attention he lavished on our spotty diva. We had lots of reassuring photos and it was clear that our dog was being spoiled rotten and having a lovely time on his holiday. We can’t rate Frazer highly enough and wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again.”
“Elena was very prompt with arrival time, She did an excellent job with looking after Socks, feeding, regular visits outside for him to do his business, she also sent me video and updates that he was fine, When Elena went my pet (Socks) wanted to go with her. She was brilliant.”
“Absolutely amazing! Kira was so great with our Kia but also so amazing with our 2 year old whilst we were faffing around. She also put up with our chatting for nearly an hour after we had gotten back home. Would 100% recommend Kira she is absolutely amazing”
About: I have had dogs all of my life and see them as part of the family. It will be me that is looking after your dog, however, I have two boys aged 12 and 8 who idolise our sausage dog Boris. They are both sensible and loving towards him. I have the boys 4 nights a week so there are 3 nights a week your dog would just be joining me and Boris. I am a Solicitor who works from home. I am at home all day so would not leave your dog alone whilst they are with us. I have an enclosed garden and lots of lovely walks just outside of my house. I have a very friendly sausage dog, Boris, who absolutely loves other dogs and people. Boris is crate trained.
“Diana is brilliant, she clearly loves dogs and was a fantastic house sitter. She had no issue in caring for our recently diagnosed diabetic dog, maintaining her twice daily insulin injections and fairly strict feeding regimen. Have already recommended her to friends and will definately use 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.”
“First time using a dog sitter and it worked out really well. We were away for a couple of days for our daughter's wedding so didn't want to be worrying about our dog at such a special time! Linda was completely calm and reassuring. We received a couple of updates with photos but not too many (we had other distractions). Eva seemed to take it in her stride too! Thank you Linda, we would definitely use you again in the future.”
About: I love spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I've grown up with labradors and cocker spaniels, so I'm used to sociable, high-energy dogs. I've studied animal behaviour and cognition so I actively research and apply this theory when handling new dogs. I'm comfortable working with rescue dogs, and happy to take it slow with seniors who'd prefer a relaxed visit. I'm out walking my dog whatever the weather, and I have flexible working hours so I'm happy visit your dog(s) during the day and take them on some lovely long walks! My house has enough space for small or large dogs, and I have an enclosed garden they can enjoy. My spaniel, Cleo, will be around to help your dog feel comfortable. 🐶 I'm out walking whatever the weather! My job is flexible, and I tend to have time in the afternoons, so I am available to help out during the day for walks or home visits. My dog gets treated like royalty and yours will too! I'll respond to their personality and work with you to meet their specific needs while they're with me.
“Bridie came to look after my pooches at short notice. A lovely young lady with lots of animals experience and qualified in their first aid. I didn't have one concern leaving her to care for my pooches in my home. She sent me updates throughout the day and all my dogs relaxed in her company. Felt lucky to have found her and will definitely use again.”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful with Ruby, and I was at ease with constant communication. Will definitely be using Rebecca again for future dog sits. Ruby seemed so settled which was lovely. Thank you so much! ☺️”

About: Hi my name is emmelia, I am 22 years old and I am a recent university drama school graduate, figuring out my next step. I love going on long walks in the evening, hikes on the weekend, and going travelling to new places I can explore. And of course I love the cuddles. I have 1 dog at home with my family who is a very cute cavapoo and she is very well behaved. I did this whilst I was at university walking people’s dogs and doing day care for them as well, and they kept coming back. I love long walks or just hugs and I’m happy for all weather conditions. I am currently back at home with my family looking for my next step, I love dogs and I am keen to go out on a lot more walks. I can go on long walks or short or just look after them for cuddles.

About: Having had dogs in my own home since the age of 7 I feel more than qualified to keep yours happy. From teaching my ‘untrainable’ lurcher agility to pottering around with my elderly vizsla I’ve done it all. I have dog sat for various homes since I was 15 which inspired me to do my zoology degree and later to begin this degree in veterinary medicine. I have just completed a six month placement working as a wildlife care assistant where I not only learned valuable first aid skills but also invaluable experience in animal welfare and handling. My degree is 9-5 on Weekdays with Wednesdays and weekends off- I have plenty around this to help enrich your let! This is also only in term time so I am available for longer stays during the holidays My garden is completely fenced off with no exits (trust me if there were my dog would’ve found them!). The most important thing in my book of pet sitting is company and that means regular checks and playtime making sure everybody is safe at all times.
About: I have looked after and cared for my own dogs and siblings pets when needed and have cared for them all whilst making sure they are all okay and have recently been caring for 3 dogs at my house all day on summer break from college whilst my mother is still working. i am willing to use my free days from college year round to help people who want excellent treatment for there pets when they cannot be around for a few hours or the whole day. I take care of both dogs in my home as an 18 year old with a busy week at college and using my spare time to study but i am willing to take time out of that to help my family look after pets and help people when they cannot look after there pets and treat pets excellently and am certainly a pet person as i cannot remember a time in my life where we did not have at-least 1 dog as a pet.

Honestly couldn't ask for more! Never felt so comfortable leaving Simba with somebody. Clare is so kind and compassionate and knew exactly how to treat our fur baby! Simba settled right in and ate, slept and had a cuddle with Clare which for a dog that struggled with separation anxiety at times is truly testament to her wonderful nature and care with dogs! We rebooked for a week in December and will use Clare for all of our events and holidays. Thank you so much , Simba says he misses you already and can't wait for a sleepover week with you in December 🐾
Katie was absolutely fabulous with Axel, she even went out her way to come and meet him and us before the booking. Axel seems as though he had a great time with Katie and was chilled out and calm when we returned and had even eaten all of his food which he is particularly fussy about in different situations. Could not fault Katie enough and we will definitely book with her again ☺️
Imogen stepped in at short notice to look after my dog, Rolo, while I travelled to London for a meeting, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She’s absolutely lovely, very reliable, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Rolo was in such good hands. I really appreciate her help and would happily recommend her to anyone!
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!
This was our first time using this service and Madison couldnt have been more helpful. She was happy to have a couple of visits before our trip to see if our pets were ok with her. She was respectful of our home, gave our pets lots of love and attention and provided numerous daily updates whilst we away which meant we could relax knowing our pets were safe and happy. Madison is now our trusted 'go to' pet sitter. I highly recommend Madison.
Lucia looked after Lola when we went on holiday and we were a bit nervous as we had never used a dog sitter before. But as soon as we met Lucia all our worries went! She was absolutely lovely and Lola was very happy too! We had regular updates and photos so we knew Lola was happy and safe ☺️ We will not hesitate again to have Lucia back when we go away again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Telford on Rover is £40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £26 and £75 per night.

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 Telford walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Telford , the price of house sitting can vary between £26 and £75 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Telford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
