“We feel lucky and very relieved to have found Karen and Anthony. They looked after our 2 girls, a spaniel and a terrier for 5 days. Millie is a very nervous little girl but she soon relaxed, as we saw on the photos they sent us. In fact it was evident that both the girls' behaviour was much the same as at home. Karen had found out all their individual foibles and little habits, like Bess'habit of lying on our head when it's time to get up. The dogs were free to go wherever they wanted in the house, as well as on the furniture and the bed. Karen was honest about how their stay went, telling us about a couple of little hiccups and how they were resolved. The garden there is very big, and adequately fenced, even a tiny dog like Millie was safe. They had nice walks and games in the garden like retrieving balls and finding hidden snacks etc. They enjoyed playing with toys belonging to Bodie, their own spaniel as well. When we collected the girls they were their usual self, relaxed and happy. They looked well and shared their attention between Karen and us, treating us all much the same. We are extremely happy with Karen and Anthony's understanding of dogs, and with their intuitive recognition of individual needs and likes. We feel that we have found the ideal "dogsitters", which enables us, for the first time, to go away without the dogs.”
“Effie has had another lovely week with Caroline - we were updated throughout with daily photos & videos. It’s reassuring to see how happy she is staying there. She’s looking forward to her next stay!”
“Jess and Jack have been brilliant with my dog Benji. He always looks forward to staying with them. They are so reliable with times. I also get photos and updates on how he is doing. I feel he is well looked after, safe and played with when he stays with them.”
“Pepper had a fantastic stay with simon and family whilst we were away, easy drop off, regular updates whilst away and its always great to see photos of your dog cuddled up and relaxed. Genuinely could not have been happier. I returned to a very happy dog. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Stanley had a lovely stay at Bob's lovely pet friendly home. Really helped me out of a short notice calamity. Lovely people , We couldn't of been made more welcome and Stanley was very well taken care of. I have no reservations in recommending Bob to look after your pet.”
“Whole process has been smooth and filled me with confidence that my dog would be well looked after ! Amanda sent pictures and updates on his stay and this confirmed our dog was in great hands! Thank you Amanda!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and was lucky enough to own a lovely Spaniel myself, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I also have spent eight years working alongside working dogs in the Civil Service, which gave me great experience around dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. Above all, I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday and have the flexibility of working from home on certain days. However, when I agree to look after your dog, I will ensure that I am not working so that I can give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and love going on long walks, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, and I live just a 5-minute walk from a large open playing field, perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. I take great pride in caring not only for dogs but also in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment.
“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”
“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!”
“Having spent a week away from our dog, Thea, for the first time in a couple of years, we were understandably quite anxious. However, both Evelina and Kamil put us at ease and we immediately knew she was in good hands. Their regular and consistent updates showed us how much Thea was enjoying her holiday and I would highly recommend them. We will certainly be using them again.”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful with BoBo! Our miniature Dachshund can be quite a nervous soul in new places, but Megan’s patient approach meant he settled in no time. She followed every instruction perfectly and the frequent photo updates were such a lovely touch that kept us totally stress-free. We picked up a very happy pup and will definitely be booking Megan again!”
“Robert is absolutely brilliant. He is so kind and caring and really knows so much about dogs and the care they need. Our little dog was so happy with him for a few days and he sent us lots of photos and videos so we didn’t need to worry. 5 star care. We will be re-booking soon! Thanks again Robert,”
“Keziah was great! Communication was awesome and she kept me updated the whole time with messages and pics. My puppy was clearly well taken care of and happy. I felt totally comfortable leaving her in her care and would definitely book again! 🐾”
About: I’ve been around all kinds of dogs since I was 12, including training puppies. I have experience with timid dogs as well as social dogs so I know how to handle each situation. I love to go on walks so whether your pet needs a 10 minute walk or a two hour walk, I will do exactly what they need! I’m currently working Mon-Fri Term Time only. Meaning i can be with your furry friend in evenings, weekends and while you’re away on summer holidays! I am willing to go above&beyond for the care of your pet, doing whatever you need to make you feel at ease leaving your furry friend in my hands! Unfortunately, I cannot offer care for your pets at my own home.
“Lubomira spoilt my Maya rotten! I was showered with photos and videos the whole time I was away to keep me at ease and let me know what she was up to! Maya thoroughly enjoyed her stay. I have already rebooked!! Thank you very much for looking after my fur baby so well :)”
“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.”
“First class care for our very special boy, he had such a good time, I don’t even think he missed us. Jan kept in touch regarding how he was getting on, he had ball games in the garden and a lovely walk in the country. Thank you for looking after him so well.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Babergh
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Babergh on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of June 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 .

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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
