“Perfect. Manognya had Herbie overnight very last minute and was so helpful, communicative and sweet! Lots of pictures and Herbie seemed very happy. Thank you again and hope to see you again soon.”
“Betsy loved her stay with Danka. She looked after her very well and sent us updates and photos. Betsy was very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. She would love to come stay again and get more cuddles 🥰”
“Brigitte is absolutely wonderful! Our dog Monty has stayed with her a few times and adores her! He clearly enjoys his stays and going on lots of lovely walks. I highly recommend Brigitte.”
“Joseph was very responsive to messages and amazing with my 3 year-old collie cross Storm. Storm is a high energy dog so he needs a lot of attention and Joseph took him for lots of super long walks and sent some adorable pics of a very happy dog! Very impressed, would book again 😊”
“Lesley looked after our 10 year old cockapoo Bailey for the first time while we went away. We had regular updates and photos from Lesley which was really nice. Bailey looked very happy and it was clear he loved his stay with Lesley and her family. I will definitely use Lesley again and can highly recommend her.”
“Jessica was great! very quick at communicating and kept us fully informed while Maia stayed with her, lots of pics and asked us all the things we forgot to mention. It was the first time we’d left Maia with anyone apart from friends and family but Jessica made it all super easy. Thanks again :)”
About: Canadian/Aussie Pet Sitter Newish to England here to help with loving your doggo's in your absence! My Story: I was the owner of a beautiful Cavoodle, Miley, for 15 years, she soul shatteringly passed away in Oct 2023 and to heal I started to dog sit in my neighborhood, a daily fur fix and being able to give love to a furry friend was incredibly healing. In December I took some time to heal further and booked a trip to visit friends in Bath, I loved it so much and when I returned to my empty home, I decided I wanted to make the move over. The universe must of been listening because my employer of 8 years made my position redundant, and I took that as the final sign that my time was up in Australia, and it was time to start a new life for myself in England. My Experience: I specialize in anxious doggo's that need full time company, and extra love and cuddles, I care for every pup as if they are my own and all of my clients I started beautiful relationships with and became one of their "hooman's", so much so that before I left Aus I had a farewell puppy party at the pub where I could say goodbye to all the beautiful furry souls that Miley sent to heal me! So now I'm on the hunt for my next furry friends! I have experience with all doggos big and small ranging from 3kg - 65KG (Yup one of my fav clients was a 6-month-old Tibetan sweetheart) Available most days and weekends. I work as local store manager in menswear and have sunday mondays off, my partner Andrew who is also a dog lover and has grown up his whole life with a dog works from home 4 days during the week so we are a 2 for 1 doggy sitter duo to help with availability. We are completely open to keeping to the dog's pace, from long walks and fetch for high energy border collies and working breeds, to cuddles and naps for an elderly poodle.
“Booth had a lovely time with Natasha and her family. We were kept up to date and received photographs and videos reassuring us that Booth was having a lovely time. It was obvious that he really bonded with Natasha and her family and enjoyed his stay. We would not hesitate to use Natasha again and would highly recommend her pet sitting services.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family growing up and as I’ve grown, my love for dogs and animals has grown also! My friends have always trusted me with their pets whilst on vacation and I’ve always been thrilled to give their loved animals the best experience and a big amount of love while they’re away. I have a big space and fenced garden to have lots of play time and fun! I’m a university student with a flexible schedule outside of my classes, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting during most weekdays and weekends, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding routines, medication, walks or playtime. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, secure and loved while in my care. I’ll also keep your home clean, tidy and respected if I’m caring for your pet there. If your baby is with me, we have a large fenced garden to play around in, as well as many nearby parks!
“Lynsey and her family took great care of Vinnie. He returned home tired from lots of lovely walks and very happy. Comms were great and we felt really relaxed knowing he was being so well cared for.”
“I booked a last-minute stay for my dog with Emma and had a great experience. She was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and sent me lots of photos and videos throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. My dog clearly had a great time with her and came home very happy! I’d definitely recommend Emma and will happily book with her again in the future 😊”
“Macarena did an amazing job taking care of our Bernese Mountain Dog Rowdy for 4 nights. Her communication was brilliant throughout with plenty of photos of her and Rowdy having a great time together. Rowdy came home happy and healthy and I would definitely use Macarena again in the future or happily recommend her to anyone who asked.”
About: I've cared for dogs for 17 years, starting with family pets and moving onto neighbours and friends. I have experience with both large and small dogs - my first was a border collie, and my most recent a chihuahua. I have skills in senior dog care, as my last three dogs have all been 8+. I am particularly fond of medium-large dogs, though I'll never shy away from a petite pal! I'm currently working from home 4 days a week, and am available most evenings and weekends for walks and sittings. I regularly take longer walks in the evening, and am often out and about over lunchtime as well. I have a pet-safe apartment and access to a dog-friendly park. I live in a quiet area and can offer my full attention, which is perfect for those anxious or older dogs who need a bit of reassurance.
“Can’t recommend Julia enough the whole exsperience was great for ourselves and Charlie. Charlie seemed to really enjoy himself and was clearly well looked after. We got daily updates including pictures got on famously with her own dogs and we are really happy with the service highly recommended Julia.”
“Tim was very welcoming to us and our dog. He took note of our detailed requests. Bertie clearly felt at home straight away. Tim provided videos, photos and updates daily which we appreciated. We are very happy to have found him and will be using him again.”

Ellen and her partner are absolute gems! They looked after Stella, my 6-month-old Golden Retriever, for a long weekend and I couldn’t have asked for better sitters. They were incredibly attentive, followed all of her care instructions perfectly and kept me updated throughout her stay. Stella was clearly completely at ease with them and very well looked after. I picked up one very happy puppy! I wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with them again and would recommend them wholeheartedly.
Richanne is highly recommended sitter. She looked after our border collie Lexi for 3 days 2 nights and we cannot be more happier. There was a great communication with Richanne throughout Lexi’s stay and Richanne put a lot of effort to ensure Lexi has a great time including lots of exercise and cuddles and it was obvious from the photos Lexi enjoyed the stay. Thank you very much Richanne, we will gladly be back in future.
Frankie and Jimmy were fantastic with Buddy for his 24 hour stay, so caring and thoughtful. He has become quite nervous since being attacked by another dog recently, but he settled very well and they made sure that the enthusiastic advances of their lovely puppy, Pici, were not overwhelming for Buddy at any time. Great regular updates with some lovely photos. He was relaxed and happy when I arrived to bring him home.
Elena was wonderful! Mabel stayed with her whilst we were on holiday, I felt completely confident that she was in safe hands. Elena kept us reassured by sending frequent videos and photos. Mabel came home happy and settled, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Mabel with Elena again. Thank you for taking such loving care of our girl! 🐾❤️
Francesca communicated really well about setting up our dog's stay with her, and provided reassuring updates during the stay. She took care when greeting our dog to help her feel at ease and to ask questions about what would help our dog feel settled. Our dog seemed very happy and relaxed at the end of the stay. I would recommend Francesca to others looking for a dog sitter.
Tim was very welcoming to us and our dog. He took note of our detailed requests. Bertie clearly felt at home straight away. Tim provided videos, photos and updates daily which we appreciated. We are very happy to have found him and will be using him again.
I booked a last-minute stay for my dog with Emma and had a great experience. She was super friendly and easy to communicate with, and sent me lots of photos and videos throughout his stay, which I really appreciated. My dog clearly had a great time with her and came home very happy! I’d definitely recommend Emma and will happily book with her again in the future 😊
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Kia. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such kind and caring hands. I could tell kia was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Thank you for sending updates and pictures every day. I truly appreciate your patience, love, and attention, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter. Many thanks again

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Bath
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bath on Rover is £40.25 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 1,479 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bath. 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 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 .
