About: I have been pet sitting for quite some time now and have experience sitting for an array of breeds and dogs of differing ages right from the puppy stage all the way to more elderly dogs requiring a slower and more relaxed pace. I have also pet sat for dogs of differing sizes and breeds and can provide longer walks for more high energy, younger dogs. I have grown up with pets all my life, having owned miniature schnauzers since the age of ten. I absolutely adore them and can assist in caring for any range of age of dogs from young puppies to elderly, both through the experience of owning my own pets and the other dogs that I have cared for. My experience in sitting for others ranges from a lively cocker spaniel puppy recently to an elderly shih tzu and I would love to leave others with a peace of mind that their pet is being well cared for in their absence. I can also teach some tricks, such as roll over and paw depending on how cooperative your pup is :) (My mini schnauzer took some convincing and lots of treats 🤣) When I am not required to be in the office or travel for work (i would mark myself as unavailable/not accept bookings in these cases) I have great flexibility and can work from home so I would be able to accompany your pet all day and take them out for multiple walks throughout the day, they would not need to be alone for stretches of time over an hour or so, and even then I can adjust my schedule to ensure any anxious pets that need more company are not left alone and I am with them. I enjoy long walks daily so your pet would be well cared for and well walked. I have a large outdoor balcony with a high and contained fence but also I live beside large green spaces more importantly with great areas to walk the pets. I am also located beside Victoria Park for long walks and fresh air. My apartment is well locked up and no easy access at all for pets to get out onto the street as it is on the third floor and doors and windows can all be easily secured. It is also not overly cluttered and there is very little in terms of hazards, Overall I would be a available to stay in the home of the pet if you would prefer that and am willing to travel within London to accommodate this.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I've grown up with dogs, including a Husky and a German Shepherd, and I've also cared for smaller dogs and multiple dogs at once. I've completed a 4-hour training course covering dog safety, prevention, everyday care, and responsible handling. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, giving medication with instructions, and adapting to each dog's individual needs. I love going on long walks, playing with dogs, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I offer boarding and daycare and am happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your pup is doing! 🐶❤️ I’m home most of the day with a very flexible schedule, allowing me to give dogs plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, walks, and care throughout their stay. I’m also available for regular photo updates. I provide a comfortable, pet-friendly home where dogs are welcome on furniture and receive plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, and attention. I’m happy to follow each dog’s routine and their owner’s instructions.
About: Hi, I'm Shireeka and I live with my best friend Brick the pug. I'm in my thirties, Brick is 3 and we live in a lovely 2 bedroom house with a garden. Being a dog Mammy I know what it's like to worry or feel guilty when you leave them for any period of time ❤️ so I really wanted to give back what Rover sitters provide for me: a safe and loving place to take care of fur babies. It's also Brick and I's dream to have a full wolfpack one day but for now making new besties will be great! I work from home and have a decent sized enclosed garden and house for dogs to roam in. Me and Brick love going for regular walks and live close to a couple of great parks so would love some friends to join us! I work from home so myself and my pug Brick will enjoy the company for daycare or boarding! We love going for regular walks in the local parks everyday too and would LOVE some friends to join us. I have a fully walled concrete back area for toilets and have a great sized living room with lots of dog toys, beds and a comfy sofa to nap and play on. My fun, socialble 3 year old pug Brick is very excited to make new friends.
About: Absolutely adore all kinds of pets- I have been pet sitting dogs and cats since I was 10. I’ve grown up with animals and was raised on a farm. I’m currently working part time so I have decent flexibility to take care of your pets! I live next to botanical park so I can take your dog on plenty of walks! Lots of cuddles with your dog, making sure that they go out regularly and are fed exactly to your instructions! Would love to teach your dog tricks
“Fiona was really friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving Selma with her for daycare. She gave me regular updates and Selma seemed to have a great time, and warmed to Fiona instantly! Would definitely book with Fiona again 😊”
About: I have had dogs and small animals my whole life! I am well experienced with both low-energy level as well as high-energy level (I grew up with Australian Cattle dogs), and so am able to provide an environment that is mentally enriching and suited to your pet! Additionally, I've had rabbits and guinea pigs in the past, and so am used to managing the needs of unique/diverse animals. I am currently enrolled in my Masters of Law online, and so spend majority of my day in or right around the flat studying. I do work part-time in a bar, but this is only a 2 minute walk from my house, and at the moment I am only working Saturdays, so your pet would never be left alone too long. As I am home most of the day, your fur baby will always have the option of my attention. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I take several small walks a day already to maintain a clear head. I am also only around the corner from the Botanic Park, so outside time can be easily adapted to your pets needs!
“Niall and Henrique were great, they were very accommodating with a last minute booking which was amazing. They were very friendly and I felt reassured leaving Selma with them. I was provided with updates which was much appreciated and Selma seemed to have a great time and seemed very comfortable. Would definitely recommend them 😊”
“Finding a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter was crucial for me. 🐾 Luckily, I stumbled upon Sarah and I couldn't be happier with their assistance! 🙌 Not only do they take amazing care of my fur baby, but they also send me adorable photo updates throughout the day. 📸 It's such a relief to know my Luca🧸 in good hands while I'm away. ❤️ If you're in need of a pet sitter, I highly recommend Sarah without a second thought. Trust me, your furry friends will thank you! Luca love you Sarah♥️”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, have experience with many different breeds from giant newfoundlands to toy poodles. I have experience with puppies and training as well as elderly dogs needing extra love and attention. I am a dog mom to a little maltipoo Bella, she is great with all dogs big and small and will happily share her toys with her new friends. I work from home so can give your fur babies all that attention they need while you are away. I live close to ormeau park and it’s the perfect place to go for walks during my breaks. I’m available evenings and nights during the week for dog sitting and walking as well. I have a fenced garden and 1 little maltipoo to keep your doggie company. I have lots of experience training dogs so happy to spend some time teaching them new tricks. Your pups can make themselves at home here with a cosy and loving environment, the perfect home away from home!
“Absolutely brilliant service from Stacie, would highly recommend her. We came from Dublin so literally arrived, handed our dog over and headed off for the day. Murphy was in great form when we picked her up and had clearly been spoilt!”
“Aidan is absolutely lovely with dogs and very knowledgable, I would highly recommend him. My very lively Springer Spaniel had a great time with Aidan including big walks and she was cuddling him on the settee when I went to collect her.”
“Maja was beyond awsome looking after our dog Snoopy and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Snoopy came home relaxed after a very pampered night with lots of walks, playtime and cuddles. Maja gave us regular updates and reports with photos. Very professional and concerned for Snoopy’s wellbeing. Clearly an animal lover and so nice to deal with. We can’t thank her enough”
About: I have many years of experience - I looked after my family dog for 17 years and have fostered several puppies from the Dublin SPCA, which often involved administering medicine. I was a registered volunteer with the DSPCA also, so am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I currently care for my 6 month old kitten, Pepper. I work Monday to Friday 9am to 1pm. I work at queens university, just two minutes from my house. I would be available every evening and all weekend too. I care for my kitten pepper in my home and would love to mind other cats who could help her socialize and keep her company. I am also available for dog walking.
“Milo had a great time with Heidi. We received some updates through the day and Heidi was very helpful when our travel plans changed and we needed to sort an alternative drop-off arrangement. I’ve already rebooked!”
About: I have experience providing dependable, loving care for pets, including walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining daily routines. I’m patient, and always focused on making pets feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for🧡 I do this as my job, my schedule is flexible. My schedule is currently very spacious. I am happy to provide loving care for your special pet. I’m available for home visits, walks, & care at my own home. My home is safe, we have a small garden. We also have a crate, doggy bed, blankets & toys. Our home is warm and cosy. Happy to follow any special requests.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Belfast
Aidan and Fergal were great start to finish! Great comms, we did a meet and greet the night the night before. They listened patiently to all my crazy dog mum instructions and scrappy was happy and relaxed when I picked him up at the end of the day. We will definitely be back!
I left my dog with her for a few hours and he came back with the biggest smile. He usually barks meeting someone for the first time but not at her he didnt bark and went with her with no problem. I really recomend her if your looking for someone to mind your pet. At the end when i was collecting my dog he didnt want to come back because he loved her so much.
Lisa is amazing and has looked after Saffi well. She genuinely loves dogs and Saffi seemed very happy and content in her company. We booked Lisa for a one-off arrangement so we could visit the Titanic Museum and other attractions whilst on holiday in Belfast. Lisa kindly agreed to look after Saffi for us which meant we were able to visit places without worrying. Thank you so much Lisa.
Helen is absolutely amazing and had a lovely manner with our puppy. Unfortunately it didn't work out due to other reasons but would highly recommend to others. I got loads of pictures and updates and safe to say my pip was absolutely exhausted when we brought her home.
Kathryn was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Super friendly and you can just tell how much she loves dogs. Our boy Indie had a great time and her Goldie Dolly is an absolute sweetheart too. Kathryn provided us with regular updates and photos which was reassuring as it was our boy Indies first time (at the ripe old age of 10) going to doggy day care. Couldn't recommend Kathryn enough. Absolute superstar
We have had such a fantastic experience with Beth and Aisling. Our pup Mac was only 4 months old when we first contacted Beth and Aisling. We were invited to a meet and greet and we instantly felt welcomed by them. Mac has had 2 full days (into the evening) with Beth and Aisling which we required for family events. They have taken such great care of Mac and I would highly recommend them!
I honestly can’t recommend this dog daycare enough! Mylo is a very anxious little dog and usually hates being away from me, so I’m always nervous leaving him anywhere. But from the moment he arrived, he completely surprised me - he bonded straight away and was so settled and comfortable. It really felt like a true home from home. When I picked him up, I could instantly tell he’d had a great day, he was happy, calm, well-rested, and clearly had some nice walks too! I’ll definitely be booking again, thank you so much for making this such a positive experience for both of us 💛
Mac's first time in doggy day care and I was a little nervous. Daisy was absolutely marvellous, Mac was always so excited when he saw Daisy. She sent daily updates and took him on several adventures. Cannot fault Daisy in any way, would not hesitate to leave Mac with her again.
Ronan has taken amazing care of our very active puppy Grace. She is always delighted to see Ronan and comes home happy, exercised but not exhausted. She has terrorized every other person who has watched her, no matter their experience with dogs. Thank you Ronan for being so good with our wee Grace!
Dave was a super dog sitter - Max was really well looked after. Dave was attentive and made sure he knew everything about Maxs needs to make sure he was 💯 settled. Dave was very warm and friendly too! Dave sent lots of photos so we could see how content was. Highly recommend Dave!! Thanks

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Belfast on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 244 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Belfast. About 86% of Belfast sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Belfast commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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 Northern Ireland 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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
