“Verna could not have been more helpful and accommodating looking after my rather senior black lab Sapper. She sent photos and bulletins from time to time, and it was clear that Sapper was really having a lovely time. She came back happy and relaxed and obviously attached to Verna and I will have no hesitation in making the same arrangements again :)”
“Suzanne and her husband were amazing with Belle over the weekend she stayed with them. Belle can be quite cautious around new people and dogs and it was the first time I'd left her with someone she didn't know well but at our first meeting Suzanne medee feel Cofindant the Belle would be looked after, there were Plenty of photos and updates and On picking up Belle she behaved like she'd had a better weekend break then my partner and I did 😅. Will definitely use Suzanne again and after this experience I would be very reluctant to use any one else”
“So pleased we've found Alison, we're new to the area so it's great to know that Boo was looked after so well. It meant we could relax and enjoy our holiday, knowing Boo was enjoying her little holiday. Alison was so attentive to Boo's needs (being 15yrs old and a bit slow, blind and deaf), Alison kept us updated with photos, videos and messages. Beautiful surroundings in Clumber Park, very relaxed and Boo even made 2 new doggy friends with Alisons lovely Peanut and Nacho. Will definitely be using her for future dog sitting.”
“Our first time using this service and our dog staying with anyone who isn’t family. Jess made myself and Dolly feel so at ease from the first time we met prior to the stay. Jess sent updates throughout the weekend and I know Dolly had the best time. We will definitely be using Jess again in the future.”

About: Hi! I'm a reliable, caring animal lover with a genuine passion for dogs.

Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their usual schedule, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. I'm trustworthy, patient, and committed to giving you peace of mind, with plenty of updates along the way if you'd like them. I work from home, so will be able to care for your pet full time, very rarely being out of the house mid week so will be there for toilet breaks and walks I have a fenced garden, access to great walks and have a friendly dog to keep yours company, if thats an issue there is optional baby gates i can put up
“We were very happy with how Caitlian looked after Zac. She sent us photos and responded to our texts very quickly. We were away during excessive heat and Caitlian cared for Zac appropriately in this - he didn’t have an evening walk, and we wouldn’t have walked him in that heat. He was fine when we got home, didn’t sulk and it was as if there had been no break in his usual routine. We will/ would use Caitlian again”
About: We're a devoted couple with over 30 years of experience in caring for, walking, and training dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Dogs have always been at the heart of our home, and we treat every furry guest as one of our own. Over the years, we’ve had the joy of raising and nurturing two beautiful litters of puppies—each one receiving the highest level of care, socialisation, and love before heading off to their forever homes. To this day, we remain in close contact with every one of their new families, receiving regular updates and photos, even five years later. It’s these long-lasting relationships and heartfelt connections that reflect the level of care and commitment we bring to every dog we look after. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a wise senior, we create a calm, structured, and loving environment where your dog can feel safe, relaxed, and truly at home. As a couple working different shift patterns, we’re able to provide full-day care and flexible support to suit a wide range of schedules. Your dog will never be short of company, cuddles, or attention! We both love walking and spending time outdoors, and we’re lucky to be surrounded by beautiful countryside—perfect for relaxed strolls or more adventurous outings, depending on your dog’s needs. We have a secure, fully fenced back garden that offers a safe space for play and fresh air. We regularly care for our daughter’s two dogs when she travels overseas, so our home is always ready to welcome furry guests. We’re also happy to offer overnight stays for crate-trained dogs, providing them with a calm, comfortable, and supervised environment throughout their visit.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bassetlaw on Rover is £34.5 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 Midlands 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 .
