“Karen took care of our dog Honey overnight and we are very happy with her service. She is very passionate and caring, lovely home with a large garden. Her dog Bodie was a complete gentlemen and Honey made a friend along the way. We received regular updates and will definitely book in the future. We felt honey was left in a safe and caring environment thank you :)”
“My dog Jessie had the best time staying with Rob and Sue. She took to them very quickly on our initial meeting. They have lots of dog toys and a pet friendly home. I felt confident and happy leaving her with them for our holiday as they were obviously affectionate and kind to her during the initial visit. Rob sent me photos and updates on what had been doing whilst we were away. They took her out in the car to meet other dogs and I think she felt right at home. She was relaxed when I picked her up, showing no signs of anxiety at all. I would say it felt like a second home for her and would be only too happy to use Rob again .”
“Monty had a WONDERFUL stay with Caroline and Steph!! She sent photos and videos every day so we could see he was happy and loved whilst with them. We also had a late return and they were very accommodating with that, which was very kind. To top it all off, Monty has come back super well behaved - it’s amazing! No more jumping and he’s been so relaxed and good as gold which only confirms how well cared he was. We won’t hesitate in leaving him with Caroline again. Thank you both for loving our baby as one of yours!”
“Amanda was highly communicative and very accommodating to meeting Miguel a few times before he went to stay. She was very understanding of his background, situation and behaviours, and took care to understand him and care for him appropriately! Would recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and diligent Dogsitter to use Amanda!”
“Martin looks after Pippa whenever we go away. I trust him and know that Pip has an amazing time in the home from home environment at Martins. I cant thank or praise Martin and his family enough for the love and care they give to Pippa, and the total peace if mind this gives to me. Thank you Martin we will see you again soon.”
“Frances was Amazing!! Our dog Bruce had the best time. He looked immediately at home. No stress leaving him, Frances was very accommodating to his qwerks!!! Kept us updated with photos throughout his stay. Thank you 😀”
“Annabel was very friendly from the start. Straight away I felt comfortable when we first met on our get together prior to our booking. Whilst looking after our girls, Annabel sent numerous photos whilst out and about and at home. I would thoroughly recommend Annabel and will definitely book her again to look after my girls”
“Rob, his partner and his gorgeous Corgi Achi gave Cookie the best holiday ever. I got plenty of updates, pictures and videos throughout his stay and I could tell he was happy and settled. He enjoyed lots of attention, snuggly places for a snooze and lovely walks. I would definitely recommend Rob and will definitely be using him again personally. 🐶🐾”
“Our family's first time away without Buddy and I felt so at ease, with regular videos and photos I honestly think he had the best time staying with Cathy and Stan, would highly recommend and couldn't be more thankful for taking such wonderful care of our boy, it wasn't just dog sitting it was welcoming Buddy into a home from home”
“Kezia looked after our Weimeraner, Salto, and we can't recommend her enough. This was Salto's first time away and as he struggles the separation anxiety, we weren't sure how he would cope. Well we had no need to worry, Salto settled incredibly quickly and had a fantastic time, he has come home super happy and relaxed, which is better than any review I can give. Kezia kept us updated the whole weekend with plenty of photos, which we really appreciated and nothing was too much to ask. I've already started looking at more weekends away and won't hesitate to use Kezia again. Thank you! ✨”
“Claire was able to provide excellent care for our spaniel who is 12. We were reassured that he was being well cared for and we were updated on him each day. He enjoyed ot so much he did not want to come home! Thanks Claire!”
“Jennny was amazing with our dog Peanut. This is the first time we had him stay somewhere with someone not familiar with him and Jenny made sure we were fully comfortable with everything. She kept us updated regularly on how Peanut was doing and her furry friend Honey was lovely and playful. Would highly recommend and never think twice about booking with Jenny!”
“Inga is highly recommended by us!! Herself and her family treated our dog as their own and gave her so much love and attention. We received regular updates and pictures which showed us how much our dog was enjoying herself. We would definitely use Inga as a sitter again:)”
“Shelley was excellent at looking after Hunter for the day, she didn't mind me arriving early in morning and she took care rest! Hunter was well looked after and had an amazing time. He was well tired when he got back home :)”
“Highest possible recommendation for Amadeusz; a lovely guy who took great care of my boy while I was away and provided regular updates of their time together. Thanks man, we’ll see you again soon.”
“It's great to know that your dog will be happy when you go away. Spud loves to be at Serena's (he get's excited at the front door when we drop him off!!), she keeps us informed while we are away and he settles back in at home as if he has never been away.”
“Mia is an exceptional host for Rover, both Lexi & Marley have really enjoyed there stay with Mia, l will be 100% be booking again when l need to be away from home. Mia, l can’t thank you enough for the very professional and kind hospitality you afforded my puppies you really put my mind at rest whilst l was away, big licks from the dogs xx”
“I left my precious Taco who is 9 weeks old with Patricia. She was fantastic! I know Taco is a bit of a handful but Patricia was very caring and understanding regarding his puppy stage. I was nervous at first to leave him with a sitter. But she embraced him with loving arms. Whilst I was away she sent me photos and kept me up to date, which was very comforting to see that he was happy and in very capable hands. I loved Patricia's terminology to advise me that Taco had the Zoomies. That made me chuckle as I knew exactly what she meant. She was great I 💯 recommend.”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have gained some great experience over the years. I’ve worked with trained search dogs, which taught me a lot about understanding different behaviours and building trust. I also volunteer at a local rehoming centre, helping care for dogs with all kinds of personalities. At home, I have two lively cocker spaniels who keep me on my toes and remind me how important it is to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I really enjoy making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well looked after I work part-time from home with a flexible shift pattern, so it’s easy for me to fit pet care around my schedule. I make sure any bookings get my full attention, and I love having animals as part of my daily routine. I offer drop-in visits to make sure pets are happy and well looked after in their own home. I’ll follow their normal routine — whether that’s feeding, topping up water, letting them out for a toilet break, or just giving them some company and attention. I always aim to keep things calm and reassuring, especially if a pet is shy or nervous. Every visit is tailored to what your pet needs to feel safe and settled while you’re away. I also offer dog walking and home boarding. I’m happy to give your dog a good walk, some company and plenty of fuss, or have them stay with me in a home-from-home environment while you’re away. 🐶

Pepper had an excellent stay with Amanda. She settled in well and had the freedom of the large garden to roam and familiarise herself. Amanda was very patient with her and was professional in understanding Pepper’s medical needs. Very pleased with her first stay and would definitely recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Babergh on Rover is £34.08 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 East of 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.
