“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paulina looked after our dog, Jilly, for the day and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She kept us updated throughout the day with lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear that Jilly was well looked after and having a fantastic time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paulina to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Paulina, for taking such great care of Jilly!”
“I was very nervous about leaving Tucker with anyone, as he is a very anxious dog around both people and other dogs. From the very beginning, Chloe’s communication was fantastic. She was happy to meet beforehand and do a meet-and-greet so Tucker could be introduced in a calm, relaxed way, which immediately put me at ease. The way Chloe interacted with Tucker made me feel comfortable straight away. When we dropped him off yesterday, her communication continued to be excellent. She kept me updated on how he was settling in and sent regular updates throughout the day, including lots of photos, which I really appreciated. I will definitely be using Chloe again. In fact, I’ve already booked her for next month and plan to continue doing so to help Tucker build familiarity and confidence. We’ll then be introducing overnight stays, which will make such a difference for us as a family, knowing we finally have a reliable and caring person to look after him when needed.”
“Sabina was amazing, she was super accommodating with my puppy and the communication was fantastic, despite the fact it was super last minute, can't recommend her enough. I got regular photos and updates which was really nice given it's the first time we have been apart. I would take my pup back anytime”
“Superb! It was Lottie's first stay with Brian, she had a wonderful time. From my initial enquiry to pick up Brian communicated promptly, answered all my questions and put my mind at rest. During the day he sent photos and gave updates on their adventures. He listened and took time to get to know Lottie and her individual needs. I couldn't have asked for more. Will definitely book again.”
About: Hi, I'm Emma! I'm a fully licensed and insured pet carer with a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Care & Management, as well as Pet First Aid certification. Caring for animals has always been my passion. I grew up on my family's farm, where I helped hand-rear lambs, calves, and foals. From there, I went on to work with horses, greyhounds, and hunting hounds, giving me experience with animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I started my pet care business because I struggled to find someone I truly trusted to look after my beloved pug, Teddy. That experience inspired me to create the kind of service I was looking for myself—a safe, loving, home-from-home environment where every pet is treated like one of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I'll make sure they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve. My priority is ensuring both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and confident while you're apart. Pet care at In The Doghouse is around the clock! Our bed is your bed, your pets needs is my priority, they're not just your family they're mine too. I have a fully secure good sized garden with plenty of toys. Double locked gate, with CCTV. Dog cam is also used inside the home.
“For a first time ever at daycare I'm really pleased. Obi is a nervous little guy sometimes and Dilma and co. really helped Obi feel comfortable. He even had a little nap which I was surprised at. I didn't know if he was going to be able to settle in a strange environment. Will definitely be coming back for another play day x”
“In today's busy world we all need people like Sue there to help us out when needed. She looked after Cassie for me when I really needed someone. Both myself and Cassie were very happy with the service she provided and would recommend her to look after your pup.”
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I live with my husband Matthew. I have been looking after people's pets since I was a child, and I've always loved animals. We are an animal loving family (the kind that throw their dogs birthday parties). I am very trustworthy and love having dogs around. We have a detached house and a secure garden with a large lawn for them to play on. A dog in our care will be treated as a family pet and have the run of the house and garden. The can sit on the sofas with us and come upstairs at night . My dogs mean the world to me, and I pride myself on giving all dogs the best possible care. We only take small dogs due to having a little chihuahua who finds larger dogs a bit overwhelming, so you don't have to worry about your dog being upset by larger breeds. We may consider a slightly larger dog if it is very calm and/or older. I work part time (2 or 3 days per week), and my husband does short days, so the pooches are never on their own very long. We like to take them on at least two good walks per day, in different locations, typically parks or forests. We make sure all dogs on our care are really happy, and I send regular photos and updates about your pooches because I know how nerve wracking it can be leaving them. We typically look after only one client's dog(s), so your pet(s) would get our full attention. I am happy to give any medication. Please let us know your dog's routine and likes/dislikes and we will do our very best to accommodate them. We're happy to answer any questions you might have, and we are looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I work part time 2 or 3 days, and my husband works from home sometimes and does short days also so our dogs (and yours) will seldom be left alone, and never for very long. We walk them 2 times a day in a range of locations to keep it fun! Weekends can be long long walks if they like. We have a detached 4 bedroom house with a large, secure rear garden laid to lawn. Your dogs will have the free run of the whole house. We always keep your dogs on leads for walks, and we will make sure they only eat the food you provide.

About: I had 2 beautiful staffies that have now passed on due to old age and I know how hard it is to find good people to look after your pet last minute or even for holidays or days out, I miss having dogs but like to travel so can no longer be a permanent dog owner, but I'm happy to share the love and look after your furry friends In your time of need. I have experience looking after cats and dogs in my adult life and had various other pets as a child (all had fur or feathers) I do not allow animals on my furniture or on/in my bed, these are my non negotiables as I like the spaces I use to relax to be free of dog hair and dirt. This doesn't change the fact that your pet will be loved and fussed (if that's what they like) I prefer dogs to have a crate as my 2 loved theirs and it helps keep boundaries in the home, however, I am flexible with each pets individual care needs, I can sleep downstairs or have your pet sleep in their bed in my bedroom if needed for anxious pets or those used to sleeping in bed with their owners. I would prefer a visit/meet before any official booking to ensure I am the right fit for your pet and vise versa, but I appreciate this won't always be possible, communication is key, as I want to offer the best care possible for your pet. I have experience in crate training, muzzle training and puppy/toilet training. I have also have experience with teaching dogs of all ages new tricks, commands and stimulating their minds so they are more receptive to learning. I have been looking after other people's dogs before for years including family members, friends and a few friends of friends. Ive had dogs stay with me for weeks at a time too. Whatever your needs are give me a shout, I used this service myself for my boy years ago and was very anxious to leave him with a stranger so please ask any questions you may have, I'm an open book. I work from home on certain days of the week, this can change as sometimes I may need to visit clients but this is rare and usually pre planned. Pets will be walked first thing in the morning before work and then again after work, or whatever is required for each individual. It's important and animal is stimulated and gets exercise if they are able. I have a small grass back garden that is fenced off for fresh air and toilet needs, there is a park 2 minutes form my house for walks etc. I don't currently have any pets at home

“We’re so pleased to have found Karolina to look after our 8 year old chocolate Labrador, Charlie. She was very accommodating with our last minute booking, kept us informed of how she settled in, provided lots of photos throughout her stay and looked after our dog as if it were her own (including nice long walks) We couldn’t have asked for anything else and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a lovely family to look after their treasured dog.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for my entire life. From alsatians to chihuahuas I've looked after them all and know that no two dogs are the same but all dogs deserve love and attention. I'm currently working part time and from home so I have plenty of time for cuddles and snuggles. Having your companion will be my excuse to move between online meetings meaning we are looking after each other. I have a fenced garden and live on a very quiet estate with country walks and fields less than 5 minutes away. We have an open plan living room so even in the house there is room to wander.
“Silvia took good care of our Bella when she stayed for the day. Bella enjoyed playing with Silvia’s dog Milo and she came home happy & tired. Would be happy to leave Bella with Silvia and her family again. Communication was excellent from Silvia and she would always reply quickly.”
“Toby loved his first stay and can’t wait to have more, two walks, cuddles and treats. Jordan and her parents are brilliant and Toby was so well looked after. Pictures and updates were fab x”
“Megan has been just perfect, she was super friendly, accommodating and looked after our dog wonderfully. She kept us up to date and sent regular pictures to show how much of a good time he was having. We will 100% be booking future daycare and overnights with Megan for sure. Megan thank you so much for taking care of our boy, we are so pleased he now has a new girlfriend too! :)”

There are 1,170 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Ashfield. About 85% of Ashfield 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 Ashfield 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 East 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 .
