Abby and her family were wonderful sitters and took great care of Milo. They played with him loads, walked him regularly and were very kind and sensitive to his peculiarities and when he was scared of the thunderstorms. We are very grateful and would highly recommend them.

We honestly couldn't have wished for better people to look after our precious puppy, Nikko. Leaving your puppy for the first time is incredibly emotional, but from the moment we met Anidora and George, we felt reassured. They completely exceeded every expectation we had. Throughout Nikko's nearly five-day stay, Anidora kept us updated constantly with photos, videos and thoughtful written updates from morning until night. It meant the world to us to see how happy, relaxed and loved he was every single day. They took the time to listen carefully to everything we told them about Nikko beforehand and followed his routine beautifully. They even managed to do something we didn't think was possible – they calmed down our energetic six-month-old Jack Russell puppy! They took him on plenty of walks, helping him adjust his toilet routine while staying away from home, and gave him all the physical and mental stimulation he needed. What truly stood out, though, was the genuine love and affection they showed him. They didn't simply "watch" our dog; they welcomed him into their family. He received endless cuddles, kisses, playtime, training, attention and quality bonding time, just as he does at home. It was so clear from every update that Nikko wasn't just another booking – he was treated like one of their own. Their lovely little one also deserves a special mention. The bond that developed between them and Nikko was absolutely heartwarming. They became the best of friends, playing together, caring for him and making him feel completely at home. When we arrived to collect Nikko, they even planned a beautiful surprise by bringing him to greet us in such a thoughtful way. Watching his excitement when he realised Mum was there genuinely melted my heart. It felt like the kind of magical reunion you see between a parent and child, and it's a memory we'll treasure forever. Most importantly, Nikko came home happy, relaxed, confident and clearly full of love for them. That says more than words ever could. Anidora and George have earned our complete trust, and they've certainly earned Nikko's love too. We won't hesitate to book with them again—they have officially become our go-to sitters, and we cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone looking for kind, trustworthy, caring people who will treat their dog like family. Thank you both from the bottom of our hearts. We know Nikko is already looking forward to his next stay!

We were a nervous first timer with dog boarding and Wan Yi was fantastic. Our furry friend had never being away from home but he settled right in and was very at ease. Regular photo/video updates included feeding, wellbeing and play details. Regular walks and garden access meant our pet could enjoy the outdoors which he likes a lot. She kept a close eye on him, monitoring even the smallest changes and ensured we were kept informed. Highly recommend and will use again.

Aneeka is a delight and easy to get on with. She is flexible and adaptable. I have used her services for walking, daycare and overnight stays. I feel comfortable leaving Reeva with her. Much more relevant is that Reeva seems to be very happy to be with her and I am not totally sure she is keen to return back home after her visit.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better human being than Katherine to look after our dog Coco. We were extremely nervous, especially because Coco is an anxious dog and hasn’t stayed overnight somewhere else before – but from the moment we met in Katherine’s beautiful warm home with a big garden, she made us feel completely at ease, like we’d known her for years. Coco was cared for with so much patience, kindness and understanding. We received regular updates, the cutest photos, videos and messages, which really reassured us and made being away so much easier. It was clear Coco was happy, comfortable and in very safe hands. Katherine truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave Coco. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring for their fur baby. Thank you so much! 🐾💛

All I can say is thank you. My gorgeous but slightly needy Cockapoo has just stayed with Mark for the third time, and that says everything. Coco absolutely loves staying with Mark and Mandy, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she is happy, loved, and so well cared for. It’s clear that dog care isn’t just a job for them—it’s something they genuinely care about. Coco comes home relaxed, content, and as happy as ever. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark the Dog Whisperer to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and professional dog care. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my girl. 🐾

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Saya received over the 4 days. Dominika was amazing from the start—great communication and very friendly, which made me feel completely at ease. Saya was clearly very well looked after, happy, and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which showed she was enjoying herself and in safe hands. It’s obvious that Dominika genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be using her again in the future. Thank you so much, Dominika, for taking such good care of Saya!

Megan has been an amazing find for us and Cleo. She looked after Cleo like she was her own pet. She followed the routines as requested, but also had enough flexibility that Cleo had an absolute treat for the two weeks that we were away. We had regular photo and text updates. Megan was so reassuring when we texted to say that we would be later than expected due to flight delays. She is very obviously a dog lover, and a very mature and responsible sitter.

FAQs for Boarding - Banstead

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Banstead on Rover is £36.8 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 15,888 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Banstead. 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 .
