“Shannon, thank you. Truly. Knowing my Blu was in safe hands, having little day trips and surrounded by love made leaving her for the first time a little easier. Shannon took the time to keep me updated throughout each day Blu was with her which was just a lovely extra little touch. Highly recommended and will use time and time again ☺️ Thank you again, Shannon!”
“Aurora was excellent, she took care of Lucifer while I was away and provided plenty of updates. She responds very quickly and was on time for drop off and pick up. She fed him, walked him, and gave him plenty of back rubs. He looked very relaxed and comfortable in her place and slept most of the day. We will definitely book with her again!”
About: I have lived with dogs since I was a child, and my family in China has an 18-year-old small dog, so I understand how much love, patience and routine pets need at every stage of life. In the UK, I have also helped look after my friends’ dogs, including Dachshunds, Border Collies and Cocker Spaniels. I have experience with feeding, walking, playing, keeping dogs company and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and I always try to understand each dog’s personality, habits and needs. I will follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep them updated with messages and photos. I am currently a student, so my schedule is very flexible. I am usually available on both weekdays and weekends, and I can plan around each pet’s routine. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with safe indoor space, and there is a small dog park at the apartment for walks and toilet breaks.
About: We are Joe and Elise, a young professional couple, both in our late twenties. We have always lived with dogs until we moved into our own house four years ago. We used to regularly dog sit for family, but they moved away last summer. We still sporadically dog sit for friends either for the day or while they’re on holiday. We miss regularly spending time with dogs, but aren’t in a position to get one currently. We would love to spend time and look after yours! We have no pets or children in our home. We both work from home and very rarely have meetings at the same time, so will always be able to let your dog out in the garden, and take them for walks throughout the day. We have a fenced garden and no other pets or children. We live in the centre of Moseley and have access to the private park, so will be able to take your dog out for quick walks or longer strolls throughout the day.
“It was my first time using Rover and saw Roberta’s post. Roberta kindly arranged a walk before the booking to meet Coco and to introduce the dogs. She is so friendly and very gentle. Coco had her first stay over this weekend and Roberta kept me updated with texts and pictures all weekend. So pleased I have found someone that I can trust with her and will be using Roberta again in the future”
“Booked on short notice, Connor came to meet us to learn how to do all of Lola’s nappies. He was friendly and polite and when I picked Lola up she was happy and calm which was amazing because I was so worried about leaving her. Connor even messaged whilst I was away with pictures and updates. 10/10 would have him look after my lil baby again. Thank you Connor!”
“Sylwia is a lovely lady and she cared for our boy so very well. Her home is a doggy palace and Bruce was happy, clean, confortavle and happy when we collected him. We will definitely ask Sylwie to look after Bruce again.”
“Wivi looked after Raya for three days while we were away. She took excellent care of her. We were able to meet up a few days before, which put us at ease. Wivi was happy to keep in touch as much or as little as we wanted and sent us photos and videos of Raya playing and enjoying a puppuccino. We would happily leave Raya with her again.”
“First time using the site to house our lovely boy and couldn’t have chosen a better person for the job.. Jodie is so lovely and Casper was SO happy when we picked him up, I can tell he had the best time with her.. 10/10 would recommend Jodie to anyone who needs their furry friends looking after and we will definitely be booking him in with her again.. 👍🏼”
“Lyndsay and Niall were absolutely wonderful. This was the first time my dog Bella had stayed with someone I didn't know, so initially I was quite anxious on my part. But after meeting them both, I was then more than happy for Bella to be looked after there. They are both very lovely and reasurring people. As the holiday went on I received regular updates on how Bella was doing, and received lots of photos of her. All my worries were lifted, clearly she was having just as much of a good time as me. Almost like her own little holiday. I honestly can't thank Lyndsay and Niall enough for how amazingly they looked after my fur child. I will definitely be booking with them whenever I go away again. I really couldn't recommend them enough!”
“Anthony was super communicative and flexible. We arranged a meet and greet ahead of my dog Toby staying with him, which made drop off easier. During the stay, Anthony sent loads of updates and everything went really smooth. Toby had a blast. Highly recommend.”
“Oksana provided me with regular feedback, photos and videos. Casper came back extremely happy. I could tell he was well taken care of. I will definitely use Oksana again ❤️”
“Rachel is amazing, she allowed us to come and meet her first where she made me feel at ease about waffle being anxious when I’m not with him as he has never been left with a stranger before. She updated me throughout the day and also sent two lovely photos. One of which they was cuddled up on the sofa together. While with Rachel I know he was loved and cared for like he was her own. I will definitely book again if we need a sitter, if she’s willing to have my yapping cry baby back again. Thank you so much Rachel x”
“Hannah is a great sitter. Putting our anxious minds at rest with her total commitment and attention to detail. Bella was made very welcome and part of her family for the week. I would highly recommend and most definately I will be using again.”
“Audrey and her husband were amazing, Dino took to them straight away, and he can act strange with new people. Audrey kept me updated throughout his stay, I would 100% recommend to anyone. We will be using again 😊”

If I could put many more stars I would! Sylwia is professional and yet so caring, she treats the dogs as if they were her own. She even got her husband to make a ramp for my elderly Staffy to help her get into the garden easier. I feet comfort knowing I have left my three dogs in good hands. Sylwia is the best dog sitter I have had and I thought the other ones were great before they retired.
Aurora was and is absolutely fantastic. honestly we can not be happier. The way she looked after our boy like he was her own was amazing. we had no worry at all. She gave us amazing updates and really did give Nano so much love. He came back to us relaxed and refreshed. Not only did she take care of him, the way everything was handed back over was brilliant. Aurora has a love for dogs that we have not experianced with others. Not only is she an amazing dog sitter but sucha genuinely lovely person!
Beatrix really, genuinely cared for my dog. I honestly couldn't have been more impressed. I received plenty of beautifully shot videos & photos. Always providing a thoughtful & highly approachable attitude throughout the entire process. Have no qualms, highly recommended! 5*
We boarded our dog Bella with Mani for 4 nights. This was the first time we had boarded her anywhere. We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received! From the moment we met Mani, it was clear he genuinely loved and understood dogs. He kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious she had plenty of attention, exercise, and affection throughout her stay. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mani to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog boarder. Thank you for treating our dog like one of your own—we'll definitely be booking again!
From start to end, Laryssa was brilliant with managing our booking - from the initial meet and greet where she was calm & confident with a strong German Shepherd, through to terrific flexibility over drop off and collect times. Mella took to her immediately and seemed very calm and settled when collected. Regular updates were provided to put our minds at rest and comms were strong - Mella was cared for during the difficult heatwave too - thank you so much: highly recommended. :)
Anabel was absolutely amazing with Cookie! She was reliable, caring, and treated Cookie as if she were her own. Throughout my trip, Anabel provided regular updates, which gave me great peace of mind and reassurance that Cookie was in safe and loving hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after her. I would highly recommend Anabel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
Ruby was a fantastic host to Frankie, instantly gelled with him, sent regular updates with pics and vids and just letting us know how he was in general. Lovely lady, great aura about her and u could tell she was a dog lover. Would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you Ruby will get in touch if we need ur assistance again x

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Birmingham on Rover is £34.5 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 1,384 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Birmingham. 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 West 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 .
