House Sitting in Telford

About: 🐾 Qualifications & Experience • DBS checked, awaiting certificate • Animal Care & Pet First Aid/CPR (QLS Level 3) • Veterinary Support Assistant Diploma • Level 2 Animal Care • Animal Behaviour training I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have experience with all sizes and breeds — from German Shepherds to Shih Tzus. I previously worked in the veterinary sector, where I gained strong knowledge of animal health, behaviour, and client care. Alongside this, I’ve regularly cared for and walked dogs for friends and family. I have a particular interest in dog behaviour, especially supporting nervous or reactive dogs. I adopted my own dog from an abuse background (Hatton Kennels) and have spent the past 3 years building his confidence with the support of behaviourists and some hard work. It’s been one of the most rewarding experiences and has given me real, hands-on understanding of patience, trust-building, and calm handling. I’ve also had the pleasure of volunteering at Hilbrae Rescue Kennels, and I’m keen to continue supporting rescue work. I’m confident in caring for nervous or reactive dogs and always take a calm, gentle approach. I completely understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet, so I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand. Work part time at a Vets. I am available evenings and weekends currently with more flexible hours to come. I am central Telford so travelling is never a problem. I take a keen interest in dog behaviour and always want to understand the dogs needs. I will adapt to whatever the owner wants. And most importantly, will love your doggo as if it were my own.

“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!!”

“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: I am a reliable and caring pet sitter with extensive experience looking after pets for family and friends. I genuinely love animals and take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am self-employed and spend a lot of time at home, so I’m able to give a pet plenty of attention, companionship, and regular care throughout the day. I can easily manage feeding, playtime, grooming, and making sure they feel comfortable and settled. I also love going for walks, so daily exercise and outdoor time would be an enjoyable part of my routine for both me and the pet. I care for pets by providing a safe, calm, and loving environment where their individual needs always come first. In my home, I make sure they have a clean, comfortable space, regular feeding times, fresh water, exercise, play, and plenty of attention. I follow the owner’s routines as closely as possible so pets feel secure and settled. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space while maintaining the pet’s normal schedule, including walks, feeding, medication if required, cleaning up after them, and keeping them company. I pay close attention to behaviour, mood, and wellbeing, and I always communicate with owners through updates, photos, and messages so they feel reassured while they are away.

About: Hi! We’re a caring, reliable dog walking and pet sitting team with many years of hands-on experience as dog owners. Until recently, we shared our lives with three beloved dogs—two who lived long, full lives into old age, and one we sadly lost to a tumor. Caring for them through every stage of life has given us deep understanding, patience, and compassion for dogs of all ages and needs. We’re comfortable with everything from energetic walks to gentle senior care, and we know how important routine, safety, and trust are when it comes to your pet. We follow your instructions closely and always prioritize your dog’s comfort and well-being. We treat every dog as if they were our own and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. We’d be honored to care for your furry family member. Because we both work from home, we’re able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. This flexibility allows us to schedule walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around your dog’s routine, ensuring they’re never left alone for long. One of us is always available to provide care, companionship, and supervision, giving your pet the comfort and attention they deserve. We’re also happy to host dogs in our home, where they’ll have plenty of space to relax and play. We have a large, fully fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and supervised play. Dogs in our care enjoy a calm, comfortable home environment with lots of attention, making it a great option for pets who prefer a home-away-from-home experience.

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: Always had animals since I was little. Currently I have 9 cats (rescue) and also a rescue bearded dragon. I also currently work at a rescue kennels that also does boarding so have looked after all breeds of stray dogs and have looked after boarding cats, dogs, ferrets, reptiles, fish, rabbits and guinea pigs. Some of these animals have required important medications which i have always made sure has been given safely to any animal thats needed it. Im currently working part time at a rescue and boarding kennels. So due to me working part time im always getting told that people are struggling for at home pet care and have done a few gigs for people i know and thought why not broaden by horizons and help people within the community and get ti spend time with all different pets. I like to make sure I ask plenty if questions and get and idea of the home owners day to do routine with their pet so I can make sure im sticking to that routine to make sure everything is as comfortable for the pet as possible. By sticking to all the same routines and and asking many questions allows me to make sure everything is kept the same and is safe.

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 11 and 7 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.

“Caitlin was great, I have come home to 3 very happy pups. Will definitely be using Caitlin again ☺️”

“Jessica was our first dog sitter we have used from Rover, and we will definitely be asking her whenever we need our dog looking after again. Our dog absolutely loves her, she is very polite and professional and clearly loves animals. Me and my partner were getting married which is the reason why we asked for Jessica’s help, and when we got back to the house she had left us a little gift and a card to say congrats. It was such a lovely gesture😊 would recommend Jessica to anyone!”

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.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs everyday since I was 7 including my own, neighbours, friends, families. I’ve been on many dog walks and overnight stays for all. I have a lot of time on my hands and am always on a walk in a new park or area so what better idea than to be accompanied by a dog. Dogs will always be welcome on beds or sofas wherever they feel best :) I am very reliable and would never let you or your dog down. I enjoy long walks and would spend hours making sure your dog is happy, comfortable and cared for.

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.

“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.”

“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 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.

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!

“Annie was fantastic from first contact all the way through to our return. A very professional competent lady and we were lucky to have her. Annie came and met the dogs, ensured both our dogs and us were happy to progress forward without any pressure. The dogs loved Annie and we can tell all 3 have enjoyed their time with her and even though excited to see us return, all 3 had clearly been looked after very well and had lots of attention. Our 3 dogs are different ages and different breeds, so this not an easy task. Annie updated us daily and was happy to let us check-in on our dogs too. House was clean and tidy for us, I really hope Annie will come look after our 3 again.”

About: Hi, I’m a Dentist in Telford. I have had 5 dogs in my life, 3 golden retrievers, a black lab and a Belgium Malinois. I have also had 3 cats as family pets and I would love to get one in the future. I also have looked after a white mountain dog whilst housekeeping, and I have walked my relatives’ poodle and spaniel. I love dogs and cats and I am very good at walking them, I have been to lots of dog training classes and dog shows. I aim to offer an affordable service and help people out. Thank you I work full time 9-5 Monday to Friday but I can care for your pets outside of these hours on weekdays and all day at the weekend. It would be great to find out from you what your preferences are when I dog sit - eg do you let your dog on the couch etc
