“Debbie and her husband were absolute angels in a time of need. My Marley had the loveliest time with them both and was so cared for and shown lots of love. Thank you both!”
“I had an absolutely amazing experience with Georgette! I was in a really stressful situation, needing someone to look after my dog last minute as I had to leave town and couldn’t take Celine with me. She replied to my message Saturday at 6am — something I truly didn’t expect and will always appreciate! From the moment we connected, she was incredibly kind, warm and reassuring. Throughout my time away, she kept sending me regular photos and videos, which made me feel so at ease. My dog looked completely relaxed and happy, which says a lot about how well she took care of Celine. When I picked her up, I could tell Celine had a great time — he was joyful, calm, and clearly felt safe and loved during his stay. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. She’s truly a gem and I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Albert was so excited when he arrived at Charlie’s house for his recent stay. He knew where he was going and ran straight to the door. He had a fantastic time playing with Charlie’s dog and enjoying cuddles with the family. I received regular photos and updates meaning I could relax knowing he was happy. I would highly recommend.”

Daisy took great care of Angel during her 1 night boarding recently. Daisy gave us loads of updates to let us know how Angel was getting on, along with photos. Angel loved spending time with Daisy and her family and her dog, Tramp! We have already got the next stay booked in and will happily leave Angel in Daisy's care for any future bookings also! Thanks so much for looking after our Angel! 😇
Thank you for looking after Yasuke on such a short notice. Great communication, attentive care and flexibility with our schedules. Yasuke was treated so well as he gets nervous esp boarding somewhere new for the first time but Ka-Tung provided special care and made it a smooth experience for him. Thank you and highly recommend.
This is the first time we have used a dog sitter for our 4yo cocker spaniel. Dotty hasn’t been left with anyone other than family before so I was unsure how she would take to it. With regular photos and updates from Pauline and seeing how happy Dotty was, we were easily reassured. Dotty loves cuddles and attention and it is clear that this need was not left unmet. Highly recommended Pauline, we will definitely be using her again whenever we go away
Jessie is very professional and a calming presence. After an initial meet and greet with Jessie and her dog Dora, Jimmy happily returned, and spent 3 days with them. It seemed he happily settled in, and there were photo and video updates to reassure us. He jumped in some dirty water, and was even bathed and clean for us when we came to collect him. I'd definitely use Jessie again. Thanks Jessie!

FAQs for Boarding - Ashford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ashford on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 735 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ashford. 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 .
