About: I am a true dog lover, and have been all my life. I have owned and raised dogs from puppies through to their golden senior years, and so have experience caring for dogs of any age. Most recently I had lovely Staffy mix girl, who I sadly lost this summer at 14 to old age. Her passing has left a dog shaped hole in my life, so I am looking forward to spending time with your pup as and when you should need. I also have extensive experience volunteering at a Staffy rescue centre, where I regularly go to spend time with and walk the shelter pups. I am retired which means I can be at home all day if your dog prefers to not be left alone. I have experience with senior dogs, and can administer medication if needed. I have puppy experience as well, but my new home means I would request that any dogs in my care be housetrained. I am retired but very active, so would be happy to take your pup for as much of a walk as they need! As a retiree I can be home all day and dedicate the time, attention, and care to your pup that they need. I have a fenced in yard and no other dogs or children in my home. I live in a quiet neighbourhood with plenty of nearby walking routes.
“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”
“Clare is fantastic and we trust her to look after our dog Lottie (golden retriever) in our home when we're away on holiday. Eight weeks ago lottie had cruciate ligament surgery. As Clare is a veterinary nurse, she knew all about the operation and was more than happy to look after Lottie for us, especially with the restricted on lead walks she required post-surgery. We had daily updates and photos. It's worked out so well that I've already booked Clare for my next holiday.”

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.

About: I've taken care of so many pets since I was young. I've looked after my friends & families dogs and always had pets since I was young. I've had cats, dogs, snakes, hamsters, rats, mice... you name it! I volunteered at a nearby cat shelter for several years with my sister who is now studying animal care at college. I do PA work for families and mental health support (for humans!) alongside my love of fur babies! I have trained a few dogs and I am very outdoorsy - I love climbing outdoors, walks, and camping! I would love my own pup but can't afford it right now... soon though!! :D I am self-employed, so my schedule changes, but I have plenty of time to ppay with pups! I do PA work for families, work as a wellbeing coach & mental health, and petsit/babysit for my friends & family. We live in a small flat, but happy to have any dogs to stay! We have an unfenced front garden, but I love getting out and about so can take your doggies out as much as they need to go. I sometimes care for my mum's two doggos in case your furry friends like company :))
About: Hi I’m Katie, I LOVE most pets (maybe slightly more wary of a tarantula) but any other animals I love! I was born into a house full of snakes, my dad was a breeder, so I love snakes! I had my first own pet, a rabbit, at age 4 and he lived for 13 years! I then had a hamster, and I have had cats for over 10 years. I have also had dogs too! So a wide range of experience with different animals! I have a full-time work from home role, which means I am fairly flexible around your needs. I can visit before and after work, or I can house sit all day, if you would be happy with me using your WiFi for my full time work laptop. I do not offer services in which a pet comes to my own home, but I am always willing to care for your pets at the comfort of your own home, where your pet feels safest.
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Rebecca, I’m a Mum to two grown up children who are now Cabin Crew, wife and full-time Mum to Simba & Elsa our two doggies. Our dogs are family! We wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve grown up around animals and previously I’ve owned rabbits, chickens, guinea pigs, pet mice, chinchillas, and of course doggies Simba became paralysed two years ago, due to IVDD, he had a Supervet type operation and rehabilitation, but unfortunately did not get ‘his legs back’, he is in nappies and I have to express his bladder, which has become second nature, so special needs/extra requirements are no problem. We also have a rescue Parsons Terrier who is able bodied and full of energy; I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.
About: I have taken care of my own two dogs for the past 10 years but have grew up around family members dogs my entire life. Family members and friends actively rely on me to dog sit for their furry friends, so I am very reliable and experienced. I am very active, meaning your dog can choose to have a simple brisk walk or whether they want to become a mountaineer and combat Snowden, I will meet their needs! I am also an avid cuddler so enjoy spoiling them with love! I currently work shift patterns for the NHS, whereby I work 3 days a week and get to enjoy 4 days off, leaving plenty of time to look after your fury friends! I am very caring towards dogs, and will cater to the individual dogs needs, especially in their own personal space! I can follow instructions on food timings and any additional needs.
“Imogen stayed at our place during our weekend get away and looked after our two girl staffies. She was just excellent from start to finish. She regularly sent us updates while we were away which made us feel at ease. She was very good with our girls and on top of that kept our home very tidy. Thank you Imogen.”
“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.”
About: I can only offer day or overnight sitting at your home (not mine). I have always loved and been surrounded by animals. I had a German shepherd who sadly passed a few years back at the grand age of 12. I have always had cats, rodents and a horses. I have also volunteered at a local dog rescue home, dog walking and giving cuddles! I do hybrid working, working from home and I only work in person for 1 full day and 2 half days. Therefore my availability is evenings, weekends and some weekdays (when working from home). Due to living in rental I will only sit/board in the pets home. However I feel this is best for the dog, to be happy and comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. I will aim to do things in their normal daily routine to make the process easier on your pet.
“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 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!
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who's been surrounded by pups since childhood—and now I’m lucky enough to share my home with four of my own! With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, I know just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether your pup needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a calm and loving sitter while you're away, or just some midday cuddles, I’m here to help. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack—with love, patience, and lots of belly rubs. Let’s chat about how I can make your dog's day a little brighter! I currently work full-time, but I’m available for dog walking and sitting on weekends, weekday evenings, and during school holidays. I’m flexible with timing and happy to work with you to meet your pup’s needs—just reach out to coordinate! In Your Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or playtime preferences. I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos.
“Jessica wasn't phased at all by our high energy puppy who is going through his teenage phase! She played with him lots and kept to his routine. We came home to a very happy puppy! 😊 Would happily recommend Jessica! X”
About: Hello there! I've always been surrounded by animals and have recently moved to a lovely area where pets are welcome. Unfortunately, my current shift patterns make it a bit tricky to have my own pets at the moment. However, I'd be more than delighted to look after your furry (or feathered) friends, either in my home or yours! Whenever my friends and family go on holiday, I like to think I'm the first person they ring to care for their beautiful pets. From dogs and cats to chickens, horses, goats, and even turkeys, I've looked after them all! I have a spacious garden that's properly fenced, so no need to worry about escapees. It's been tried and tested by a cheeky Jack Russell called Bingo, so you can rest easy knowing your pet will be safe and sound. Inside, the entire ground floor has laminate flooring, making it a breeze to clean up any little accidents. There's also a comfy sofa for your pets to curl up on and enjoy a lovely snooze. I'm quite easy-going and more than happy to have your beloved pets stay overnight. Alternatively, I can pop round to check on them in the comfort of their own homes if that's what you'd prefer. So, fancy giving your pets a little holiday while you're away? I'd love to help! My schedule can be a bit varied due to work commitments. I typically work 36 hours a week, either on morning shifts (7am-4pm) or afternoon shifts (11am-6:30pm). The good news is, I'm only 5-10 minutes away from home, depending on traffic, so I'm never far! When I'm not working, you'll likely find me relaxing in front of the telly or enjoying a nice walk. I do play rugby on Wednesday evenings and the occasional Sunday, but apart from that, my free time is quite flexible. This means there's plenty of time for me to lavish attention on your lovely pets! Whether it's playtime, exercise, or just some good old-fashioned cuddles, I'll make sure your furry friends get all the care and affection they need. So, no matter what my work week looks like, rest assured that your pets will be in good hands and will receive plenty of love and attention! I believe in being upfront about pet care, especially when it comes to my work hours. I never want to leave any pets, whether they're mine or someone else's, alone in the house for too long. The care I provide depends on the age and breed of the pet. Take my mum's dogs, for example. There's Dexter, my 14-year-old pooch, and Bingo, her Jack Russell. In the morning, I let them out for a wee and sort out their breakfast. When Dexter was younger, I'd walk him after his meal, but nowadays, the old boy prefers to do his own thing. Bingo, on the other hand, likes to pop round to the neighbours. Come evening, Bingo gets her dinner, and Dexter gets a treat for being a good lad and not pinching Bingo's food (though he does get the grand job of hoovering up any leftovers!). When I look after my grandparents' three poodles, I take them for a walk in the morning as they're fed in the evening. I'm quite lucky with the family pets - all five of them are easygoing, as long as they get treats and someone to cuddle up to in the evening. For my friend's pets - three Jack Russells (Jacks, Abbie, and Willow), a Spaniel (Ellie), and a cat (Gizmo) - I usually stay over at theirs, as it's unfair to move them all to a new place. I feed them morning and night, and take the Jack Russells out for a daily walk. Ellie the Spaniel stays home as per my friend's request (she only listens to him), but I make sure she gets a good game of fetch in the garden for her daily exercise. In the evening, I stick to their usual routine, with all the dogs coming upstairs to sleep in the same room they're used to. Overall, I aim to accommodate the owners' wishes and keep the pets' routines as normal as possible to minimise any stress. Every pet is unique, and I'm always happy to adjust my care to suit their individual needs and personalities.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Telford
Couldn't ask for a better petsitter. We booked Clare for 7 nights and had updates and photos multiple times a day. Our pets were all very happy and content in Clare's care, which made being away frok them so much less stressful for us. We would definitely like to utilise Clares services again 😊
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Telford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Telford on Rover is £35.65 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 962 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Telford . 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 Telford 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 Telford 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.
