“Sarah and her family were so nice and took good care of my dog. They were very accommodating with all of his stuff and my schedule! Would bring him back when ever I need someone to look after him again.”
“Juliane was absolutely amazing and far exceeded my expectations. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. She watched my 2 Shih Tzu's for 2 weeks and pampered and loved them as if they were her own. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my girls :-)”
“Mylo loved being there and had a great time! Nice house and neighborhood and felt very comfortable leaving him there. Hailee was so sweet and I will definitely be using her again to care for my dog. She was awesome and I highly recommend her! 🩷”
“Wendy is so wonderful and caring. I think Diesel might like her house better than ours! She is a wonderful communicator and get me informed throughout Diesel's stay with both texts and photos. She goes out of her way to create a great environment and her family is so welcoming to Diesel. I can't say enough good about this family!”
“Kirsten was so amazing with our pup Millie! Her dog Roxy and Millie played so well together and we would get picture updates of what she was up to that day - which we loved! Fun plays in the backyard, walks, and enjoying the sunshine:) Couldn’t recommend Kirsten enough! She was so great! 10/10!!”
“Bruce was very accommodating and easy to work with. My dog got excited to see my son when he picked him up and then didn't want to leave Bruce's house. He was obviously very comfortable and happy!”
“Traveling during the holidays is stressful enough without worrying about your fur babies. Adam and Erica put all those worries to rest. Our pups were well cared for and clearly enjoyed their time here. We received cute pupdates and will continue to book with Adam and Erica. They truly cared for our dogs as if they were their own.”
“Holly was so great with my dog, she is very friendly, and I could tell right away she has such a big heart and loves animals ! She sent lots of photos and took him on lots of walks. (:”
“It was my first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Angelia took amazing care of Piper and kept me at ease the whole time. I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend her!”
“Mitch and Tara were fantastic with our nervous girl, Chloe. They were so sweet with her. They updated us regularly with pics and updates. They took especially good care to follow all of our instructions. They were just wonderful! We truly appreciate them keeping our girl happy and safe and we highly recommend them! :)”
“Krista was amazing! She sent pictures frequently and kept us updated during our trip. Roxy loved spending time with her dogs. We will definitely use Krista again! Thank you so much!”
“Tristin and family welcomed my dog as if she were a new family member. You can rest assured that your dog will get lots of attention during their stay here. They made accommodations for my dog’s quirky habit regarding slippery floors. They went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, content and well exercised. Since Blair likes to walk 2-3 miles several times a week, Tristin and family are a great match for her. She enjoyed making new friends with the boys, we will book again soon!”
“They where so nice and took great care of my doggie with picture updates! When I picked him up they even made me aware of issues with him I wasn’t aware of and gave me suggestions to help him better which I appreciate! He came home happy and content! I will definitely book with them again! ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 728 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Croydon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Croydon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Croydon home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Croydon.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Croydon. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Croydon sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Many sitters in UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
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 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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
