“Ruby has had a wonderful time. And the care she received was wonderful, and we collected a very happy girl who will miss all the family! But I will be checking with free dates and organise our excursions around them!!”
“I can’t thank Kathy enough for taking such good care of ledley while we were on holiday. Ledley was a little upset when I left, but Kathy sent me a message afterwards with a picture assuring me he was fine which I really appreciated. I had daily updates with photos or a little video. I would highly recommend Kathy and will certainly use her services again.”
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter and carer, his home is really set up for dog care. Chris was super attentive and is clearly very experienced with all levels of dog. Would highly recommend and hope to book next time we’re in the area. Thanks for the great experience!”
“Ellie was fantastic to deal with - we were visiting the area for a wedding and had some commitments to work around, but Ellie was really flexible. She also sent through updates and photos during Bonnie's stay which was appreciated! Bonnie seemed to have lots of fun with Ellie and her family. Thanks for all your help!”

“I am so happy to have met Chelsea and have her looking after Ruby. We had lots of reassurance from Chelsea on how Ruby was doing and this helped me to relax on our short trip away. Ruby must have had a busy time as she slept when we got home. Thanks Chelsea, I’m sure we will be asking you to look after Ruby again xxx”
“Alfred had the best time! This was such a big step for us to leave him with someone new but lynne and Lee were brilliant. They weren't phased by our dogs funny little ways at all. Lynne sent photo updates which was reassuring and Alfred has come home happy having made new friends!”
“This was a last minute booking and Joanna made us feel extremely confident and comfortable leaving miso with her. Miso looked like she had the best time with the constant updates! Will be using every single time now!”
“Wendy is an absolute star. My first time of leaving our dog, I couldn’t have wished for anyone better. Kept us updated via text messages and sent photos/videos. Will definitely use Wendy again in the future”
About: My husband Ryan and I have both always loved dogs and have looked after countless pups over the years both for family, friends and others. Our dog Nugs is the most important and precious thing in the world to us so we completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be to trust someone new with your baby. But dogs are treated like royalty in our home. Welcome on all furniture including the bed and as many kisses and cuddles as they’re comfortable with will be bestowed upon their tiny heads. Our pug Nugs is a pro companion now - he’s welcomed so many dogs of all sizes and breeds into his home over the years and is the most docile little thing you can imagine. He’s getting a bit older now and takes certain medication and supplements and so we’re happy to take on any dogs with additional needs. Not only do we have incredible walks on our doorstep (Highdown hill and Angmering Park Estate) but if your pup is comfortable in the car, we regularly pop a few minutes down the road to the beach for walks so they can have fun paddling in the rock pools or swimming in the sea. Before we commit to any bookings we will ask to meet you and your dog before hand to make sure they are comfortable and happy with us and our dog Nugs. Ensuring they will be happy and safe with us is our main priority. Both my husband and I work from home full time so they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I am freelancing so set my own schedule so am able to be totally flexible when it comes to walks depending on your dogs routine and the weather to make sure it’s safe for them to go out. If your dog has a preference and set routine for walks, we’re easily able to accommodate this for you. We have a large enclosed private garden for your dog to run around in. Our pug Nugs is such a chill companion and is really good at adjusting to your dogs boundaries. His go to is to keep himself to himself but if your dog wants to play or snuggle, he’ll happily join in. Our home is clean, smoke free and dogs are welcome on all furniture including the bed. We’re happy to accommodate your needs and preferences so if you’d like them to sleep on a crate, in their own bed in a different room, or in our room/on our bed - that’s totally fine. We always welcome more cuddles! We have easy access to vets if they needed any medical attention whilst you’re away and are happy to administer medication or supplements for your dog as needed.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities, including shy or independent pets. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to earn their trust and meet their individual needs. I’m comfortable with puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who benefit from gentle care and close attention. I’m currently a stay at home mum To my little boy who’s 1.5 yo so, so I have a lot of time to give full care and attention! & can be super flexible ☺️ I am very adaptable and think it’s very important to ask if I’m not sure of anything as your the pet mum/dad and what you say goes it’s your baby after all !
“Tina was very good with Milo. He can be nervous, but he was totally at home with her, with lots of petting, toys and treats. He clearly remembered it from his Meet & Greet visit when we returned for his overnight stay and was very excited to be there again and to greet Tina. I had complete confidence in Tina being well setup and clearly capable for looking after a less confident dog. Thank you Tina, we will be back.”
“Having found Sarah on Dog buddy we had a trial night sleepover and this went very well. It’s always daunting leaving your fur baby with strangers but Sarah was amazing and very welcoming and i was kept updated with lovely picture posts on the whole stay. All of our dogs needs were taken care of and I have one happy hound returning home, he had a wonderful stay. Thanks to Sarah x”

“Amelia took amazing care of my 7 month old puppy, who has separation anxiety. She was attentive and made sure he felt safe and comfortable in her home. I was sent regular updates throughout his stay. I couldn’t have asked for better care, and I’d highly recommend Amelia!”
About: I've always loved animals and have looked after friends' dogs while they were away on holiday. I also have a cat of my own. Now that my children are older, I have more time to dedicate to caring for pets and would love to welcome them into our home 🦮🐾🐈 I work from home, so I'm available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention and care. I'm only away for short periods when I take my children to school and pick them up. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime. I always follow the owner's instructions and routines to make sure each pet feels comfortable, safe and well cared for. I'm happy to provide plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles and regular breaks throughout the day.
“We can't recommend Louise and her family enough. Louise and Tia took care of Winnie for 5 days, giving excellent care and attention to him and sending thoughtful and reassuring updates to us.”

We have never left our dog (Frankie) with someone she doesn’t know but she settled in with Ellie really well. She boarded with Ellie for four nights and Ellie sent us regular pictures of Frankie enjoying lots of walks and the company of other dogs. We’d definitely use Ellie again, Frankie seemed to have a lovely time.
My two year old Labrador had a brilliant stay with Sarah. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care whilst we had an overseas holiday. Photos and updates on his stay were provided which gave me reassurance he wasn’t missing us too much! He had a wonderful time and I would highly recommended Sarah. Thank you!
Gemma and her family are ideal for our cockapoo, Honey. It’s a loving household with children, a dog to play with and lovely walks. Honey always gets very excited the moment we turn into the road. We feel that Honey is safe and loved the whole time. Thank you Gemma

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Arun
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Arun on Rover is £36.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,618 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Arun. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
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 South East England 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.
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.
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 .
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 vet. 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 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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 .
