“Couldn’t recommend Sylvia highly enough. Leaving your beloved pet wth a stranger is daunting but Sylvia treated our dog Pudding like her own. The regular updates and photos gave us peace of mind and as it was clear to see Puds was enjoying herself. I would definitely use Sylvia again and Puds simply adored her.”
About: I have taken care of a couple of dogs in the last 3 years. A Shih Tzu and a Schnauzer. I had no prior experience beforehand and have adapted well. I do thorough cleans, play time, walks, feeding, bathing, medicine administration and general care and attention I work from home most of my week and look after my Shih Tzu. I live at home with my wife and I am close to my work so I am very flexible with care commitments if I am ever called into the office I live in a secure apartment with gated access, access to 2 patio gardens, 2 roof top gardens. I have plenty of space, green areas and walkable places near me. I have a small Shih Tzu that is very playful with other dogs
“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!”
“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.. 👍🏼”
About: I live in Digbeth, in the city centre, in an apartment close to a park. I can offer 3–4 walks a day, depending on what your dog needs. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, so I’ve always been comfortable around them and genuinely enjoy their company. I also have a little Yorkie girl of my own, who loves playing with other dogs and is very friendly. I’d be happy to look after your dog and make sure they feel comfortable, get plenty of walks and lots of attention while they’re with me. I work remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pets throughout the day. I live close to a park, which makes it easy to fit in regular walks and outdoor time. I also don’t have any holiday plans for the next few weeks, so I’m available and happy to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and company. I’d love to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine! Pets will stay in my home, where I can give them plenty of attention and keep a close eye on them. I live near a park, so they’ll have easy access to regular walks and plenty of outdoor time. I’m also used to cooking for my own dog from time to time, so if your pet needs home-cooked food or has a specific diet, I’m happy to prepare their meals according to your instructions. I’ll always make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well looked after while they’re with me.
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Lizzie! I have experience working with and caring for dogs of different breeds, including Labradors, Golden Retrievers and Maltese. I enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities. I’ll take the time to understand your pet’s routine, preferences and needs, follow your care instructions closely, and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I mostly work from home, so looking after pets can easily fit into my daily routine. When I looked after my friend’s dogs, I took them out for walks three times a day and sometimes brought them to the park for playtime. At weekends, I also enjoyed taking them to a national park for a short walk. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, but please let me know a few days in advance so I can plan properly around your pet’s needs. Even though I live in an apartment, it is quite spacious and comfortable for pets. The apartment also have access to a rooftop area where pets can move around safely. There is also a large pet shop near my apartment, which is open seven days a week, so any pet essentials can be easily bought if needed.
“Quiayna was amazing from the get go, arranged a meet and greet before booking. Took a real interest in Bruce and his routine, likes dislikes ect. Made Bruce feel extremely welcome and kept us updated regularly. I felt very comfortable leaving Bruce in Quiayna’s care and we look forward to his next visit. Thank you very much. Highly recommended :)”
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.
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.
“Bella had an amazing time with Zoey. Zoey was really good at keeping me updated regularly and was so lovely to speak to and accommodating. I will definitely be using Zoey again she was amazing.”
“Paulina and her family were fantastic! 🌟 They stepped in last minute to watch my puppy Dora 🐶 and treated her like one of their own. They were so kind and even slept downstairs with her when she got a bit anxious. Couldn’t have asked for better—highly recommend! ❤️”
About: I've been looking after my friends' dogs since 2021 whenever they're away on holiday or travelling for work. Over the years, I've learned how to take care of dogs. I'm a patient, responsible, and caring person who genuinely loves spending time with dogs. Whether it's going for walks, playing, sticking to their usual routine, or simply giving them plenty of attention and cuddles, I always aim to provide the same level of care that I would want for my own. I am currently finishing up my PhD, so I have a very flexible schedule since I don't have a traditional 9-5 office job. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. I enjoy spending time with animals. I always care for each pet according to their individual routine and the owner's instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn about their feeding schedule, exercise routine, favourite activities, and any special requirements. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Growing up, I always looked after my neighbours cats as my parents wouldn’t get me one. Alfie (my young Shihtzu) came in to my life as special friend, and our bond is made in heaven. He’s been through a few surgeries due to his genetic disorder so my partner and I look after him with extra care, and give him the diva treatment cause he deserves every happiness in life. While treating Alfie, we have learned so much about dog care, training, grooming, nutrition and health management that we can diagnose health concerns often by looking at him. We all know our pets really well. My partner and I have become experts in dog care. Alfie loves playing with other dogs, so I have decided to open our flat for boarding and day care. Alfie would love to play with other small/medium dogs. Our first floor apartment is safe and we have a fenced garden downstairs, with access to additional park across the road. We also have all the dog essentials and grooming supplies if required. I’m an assistant professor at the University, and have been teaching for over 9 years, particularly to Year-1 who are new to the universities. I’ve consistently received 95% student satisfaction rate and my students would describe me as ‘trustworthy, reliable, friendly, knowledgeable and supportive’. I teach a few hours at the University, and work from home the remaining hours. I shall be looking after your pet on the days I’m working from home. During the school holidays, there are no classes so I work from home. I’m vigilant about dog safety and pay extra care in ensuring their safety. There’s a fenced garden downstairs and another across the road. It’s a safe neighbourhood and most residents know me and my partner. I’m reliable and friendly, so your dog will be in good hands.

Krishigna took such great care my little Maltipoo! Lovely, caring, very attentive, and had a beautiful little dog of her own to keep little Poncho company. Krishigna is exactly the kind of person I was comfortable leaving my little puppy with. She is also easy to communicate and coordinate with - very flexible and supportive
Amazing people! Even when I needed a last minute booking they helped out!! Sent photo updates of my dog and geniuley are really nice people aswell. Albi settled so well with them and also was taken for walks aswell and willl definitely use their service again going forward!
Summer very kindly looked after Belle for me overnight whilst I was visiting Birmingham for a conference, and made sure she was completely comfortable during her stay, even when Belle was unfortunately slightly ill. Belle came back happy and content, and I would happily recommend Summer if back in this neck of the woods. Much appreciated!
Paul took such good care of our boy Eddie. He came home happy, healthy and looking well rested. His dog, Scotty is such a lovely, calm presence, fully balances Eddie out, who's always been a bit more on the intense side. We received plenty of updates so we could relax whilst away. Thank you Paul and Scotty taking such good care of Eddie x Until next time!
My dog had the most wonderful time with Pavithra and her dog. It was wonderful to see how well looked after and outdoor fun he had. To be honest, I think he was a bit disappointed to leave when I collected him! Clear, communicative, and so helpful! I'm very grateful and can definitely recommend!

When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 1,406 sitters in Birmingham, 73% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
