About: I have experience of dog walking and caring for a dog old and young, as I've always had a dog from a young age. I have some experience of caring for cats young and old also. I currently work part-time and am available most days in the morning and afternoon and evening for dog walking. Dog boarding on Sundays to Tuesday. At my home I have a medium sized dog crate, dog toys, bowls, blankets and a secure back yard. I would feed, walk and play with your pet as needed.

Diana was due to look after Breeze however Breeze has been unwell and stayed at home. Diana was so kind when we met up to introduce Breeze. Breeze was at ease with her straight away. While Breeze has been unwell, she is much better now. Diana kept in touch asking how Breeze was feeling. I would choose Diana to care for Breeze she is a lovely kind young lady ❤️

Pete is a genuinely lovely guy who obviously loves his dogs. He was absolutly amazing with Bertie. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt as though he treat Bertie as his own which gave us great peace of mind when we left him. He kept us up to date with loads of great photos and updates. We were reassured that Bertie had his medication on time. Cannot recommend Pete highly enough and we will definitely use him again in the future.

It was our first time leaving Otis for more than one night but I felt confident and reassured that Jayne and James were giving him lots of love, care and attention. We received lot of photo and video updates and Otis was so relaxed and happy when I picked him up that I know he had a wonderful time.

Matt and Zoe were wonderful with Jolene! They walked her miles, showered her with treats, and really made a giant fuss of her. They were friendly and proactive in communication with us, and sent us loads of photos of our sweet girl.

Sarah and family were great. We were kept informed on our 2 dogs settling in and Sarah sent some nice photos. The dogs seemed very happy there. Drop off and collection was without fuss and Sarah took notes on the dogs routines etc. I would highly recomend Sarah and Rover in general.

Lisa is so lovely. I’ve always left my dog with friends, but Lisa made me feel at ease! She definitely treated my dog like a queen for a week. I will definitely be rebooking! Wouldn’t leave my dog with anyone other dogsitter. Additionally, received photos throughout her stay, Sadie was very happy.

About: Hi I'm Megan- from Lancaster a long life animal lover with a passion for animals I have always loved animals from an early age growing up we always had pets from chickens to dogs and cats. When I turned 16 I started working at an animal farm working with a range of animals from farm animals to alpacas ,goats, owls,deers horses and small animals walking feeding and cleaning them on a daily basis my stepdad has 2 horses that I look after called tommy and colin and I also have my own pet rabbit called Daisy and my boyfriend has a dog called reggie (roo) a pug( we are also more than happy to get someone to look after him if your dog does not like other dogs) My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from the love I get from animals I believe that all animals should have the same love as any member of my family i offer lots of services from to drop off visits, dog walking to sitting in your home or my home when you book with me you can expect regular updates and photos and plenty of outdoor time for your pet if they are allowed I aim to provide and loving environment for your pet.i have been raised around animals and have worked with them so you can expect your pets to be trusted around me. we can also meet and familiarise Your cat or dog with me if that would help I tailor every walk or stay to suit your pets needs whether that means quiet companionship and cuddles or extra reassurance I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends megan and bob x I’m currently not working which means I will have plenty of availability, I am very reliable and can work weekdays and weekends any time of the day I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while they are with me. I follow their normal routine and the owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, toilet breaks and playtime. I give each pet plenty of attention and company, while also respecting their space and individual needs. I keep their environment clean and make sure they are supervised and safe at all times. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and settled.

Danielle and her partner Dan were fantastic from the very first message. They gave Winnie a proper home from home stay, she loved every second of it and was honestly so lovely to see how much they loved Winnie. Amazing sitters and pup carers! 10/10 from us and would highly recommend. Winnie will be visiting again in no time I’m absolutely sure of it 🩶

Our dog, Tiggi is always excited when she realises where she is going. Olivia sends me photos and messages so I can see how happy Tiggi is while in her care, often in the company of Olivia and Scott's spaniels who are her best mates. I trust Olivia and Scott to take the best care of Tiggi.

FAQs for Boarding - Barrow-in-Furness

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Barrow-in-Furness on Rover is £37.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 114 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Barrow-in-Furness. 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 North West 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 .
