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.
“Took my frenchie for the day and lauren was so welcoming and friendly and olive loved it there she settled straight away, highly recommend lauren as a dog sitter and definitely be using her again when In the area”
“Our border collie was so relaxed and content. I could see from all the photos Kin Yan sent that he had a fabulous walk and really bonded with her. Her communication was excellent and we were able to keep in touch easily. Thanks 🤩 again”
“Truffle was so excited to see Gemma and Barney again and thoroughly enjoyed her time! Gemma updated me throughout the day which is lovely as always and I feel at ease leaving truffle with Gemma!”
“Missy seemed to have really enjoyed her time with James. James is a great communicator and is very accommodating, taking Missy out for walks too. Will definitely use James again in the future.”
About: I was a dog mom for 13 years and my beautiful best friend Amigo had the best life any dog could ask for. I love animals deeply and I moved to the area I live just for my dog. My house is fully dog proof with a dog flap, garden and woodlands right outside the front door. He passed away 5 months ago and I can’t bear to have another dog of my own, but the house is quiet and I miss being able to look after a furry friend. Amigo was a white German shepherd so I am used to big dogs and the needs of a “working” dog breed. If you want your dog to be looked after with the amount of love you give them, then I am your gal. My best friend Jenny is also a boarder / walker, so if there is any time where I need to pop out shortly she can normally pop in and keep your fur babies some company . I work from home currently and did so, so that I could be with my dog before he passed. I can give a lot of attention to your furry friend as they will be here right with me. I also have a dog flap so there always free to go outside as much as they like. *If I am out for any reason my bestie who is a dog boarder & walker can pop by. She also lives down the road from me which is a plus. So be rest assured that your fur baby will be well looked after. I have a fenced in garden, and a two story house so there is enough space (my German Shepard was very comfortable here and didn’t have any issues). You tell me how many treats your pet can have and I’ll provide the cuddles and playtimes. * Jenny also has a fenced garden. She has a 4 bedroom 2 story new build which is stunning.
“Walter had a fabulous time at Nicola’s house with Boris and her boys😍 I would recommend her as the perfect sitter in a heartbeat. Lots of updates through the day and very flexible and understanding with pick ups and drop offs.”
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: 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: Hello! I’m 26 and based in Telford, where I live with my dogs, cat and rabbits. I’ve had animals my whole life, so you can rest assured I’ll love and care for your pet as if they were my own. Since moving out from my parents’ home, I’ve adopted a wonderful Romanian rescue who is kind-natured and making great progress in his training. Through caring for him, I’ve also gained valuable experience working with reactive dogs — learning how to manage their triggers, build trust, and create calm, positive experiences. I work full-time from home, so my schedule is very flexible and can easily fit around your pet’s routine and needs to ensure they are happy. I have two dogs, a cat and two rabbits so I am experienced with a variety of animals. The dog walks around me are very suitable for short or long walks depending on what your dog requires!
About: I grew up with our beautiful family dog - a border collie named Lexi, and have taken care of many friends and families pets over the years, not just cats and dogs! I was pet sitting in London for around 2 years, now I'm back in my home town of Telford, looking to continue my passion here and in the surrounding areas! I currently work in Shrewsbury 4-5 days a week and so I would love to fill my spare time on days off or after work with some form of pet sitting! I live in an apartment but we have a lovely community garden that is barely used and is fenced off. I currently have no pets of my own so no worries about conflict!
“Easy drop off in the morning. Updates throughout the day of Ralph having a sleep, some play time and going for a walk. Was a very comfortable stay for Ralph so would be happy to book with Kelly again.”
About: Wishing to help owners with their pets needs for holidays, nights away or doggy day care! I have grown up with dogs and previously owned dogs myself. I have a 6 year old son who is also great with dogs ! Looking to help out owners who do not wish to place their dogs in kennels and would prefer the home from home approach. Lovely family-friendly, homely environment which provides a calm approach to care for your dog whilst you are away. Enclosed garden and plenty of beautiful countryside walks to explore. Work from home so lots of company to be provided! I am super keen to ensure you and your pet is happy with myself therefore I request meet and greets (free of charge) to take place prior to the stay requested. I thoroughly enjoy having animals in my care and treat any of our guests as if they were our own! 🐾 As detailed above currently working from home which allows me to be flexible and meet your dogs care requirements. This provides a positive to routine and regular exercise/potty breaks as needed. I live in a small quiet village where there are lots of lovely country walks around us. We have a private fenced garden to ensure safety. I regularly keep in touch with owners in order to provide updates/photos so you can be assured your pets are happy and having their own lovely holiday! I am happy to complete drop in care should you feel that is best for your pet.

This was my 1st time leaving my dog after adopting him 4 months ago, this trip was a last minute trip and I was so unorganised. Leigh was prompt to answer any of my questions and SUPER flexible when my plans were still in flux. I think Rupert enjoyed himself, he has come back and is super chilled, way more than before, I think this has help his attachments. Thank you so much, when I have work again in the area I will be straight into your inbox.
Highly recommend Hannah having looked after our two today. Esther is a rescue and anxious of everything and everyone - Hannah took things at Esther’s pace and through the updates received could clearly see she had came out of her shell. It has made me feel more at ease and feel confident she is happy when we need to book again. Erin is a young giant puppy with lots of energy. When we got home she conked out and could clearly see she has had lots of love and attention throughout the day. We were able to visit prior to confirming the booking, which was important for us to ensure we were confident it would be somewhere Esther would feel safe. Hannah did everything possible to make it a stress free stay - thank you :)
Jager & Tequila went for a morning visit prior to a long stay in June'26 to so they could get to know where they would be staying & to see if they would settle. Lindsay & Jim couldn't have done more to make sure they had an enjoyable time. They walked & played with them & kept me informed by sending lots of photos & a video of them playing. Thanks Lyndsay & Jim for making them feel so welcome.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Wrekin on Rover is £23 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 831 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Wrekin. About 84% of Wrekin sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Wrekin commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in West Midlands may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
