“Wish was fantastic and provided such great care for our Yorkshire Terrier,Cookie ! We booked on short notice and Trish was really understanding and very helpful, picking him up and dropping back off after the weekend. Lots of updates and great communication. Cookie has come back very happy and well cared for!!!”

“Kasia is incredibly kind, generous, and accommodating, and it’s clear how much love and care she puts into looking after Yesi. She treats Yesi like her own, which gives me such peace of mind whenever I leave her in Kasia’s care. Roxy is also a lovely bonus! 🐾 I’ve used Kasia for both boarding and dogsitting, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kasia to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their dog as if they were their own. We’ll definitely continue coming back to her! ❤️”

“Jodie took amazing care of our dog Ivy. Ivy is quite an anxious dog but Jodie took extra care to make her as comfortable as possible and took her on lots of walks to help her settle. She provided lots of updates with photos to let me know how Ivy was getting on while we were away which was greatly appreciated!”

About: I have the most hands-on experience with cats—I’ve raised my own rescue kitten from the time he was tiny, feeding him every few hours, cleaning, and helping him through every stage of early development. I’ve also cared for other cats, including those who were shy or adjusting to new environments, and I take pride in earning their trust through patience and calm attention. I have professionally cared for dogs , I truly love them. Back home, I volunteered with rescue groups and helped save many street dogs, making sure they were fed, safe, and supported until they could find proper homes. That experience deepened my compassion and adaptability with animals, especially those who are nervous, elderly, or in need of extra patience. What sets me apart is my calm, observant nature and my commitment to making each pet feel safe, respected, and cared for—whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them in their home. I’m currently job hunting, which means I have plenty of time to care for pets at home. My days are flexible, and I’m usually around for most of the day and night. I already live with my own cat, so my home is quiet, calm, and pet-friendly. I’m very used to maintaining clean litter trays, keeping a regular feeding routine, and giving cats the space—or affection—they need. Whether your pet needs a peaceful place to stay or regular visits, I can adjust to what works best for them. I used to live with my own cat back home, and that experience taught me how to create a safe, clean, and calm environment for pets. Now that I’m living in a flat, I make sure every window is secure, and I maintain a quiet, tidy space where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I’m careful with household items, keep routines consistent, and always prioritise their wellbeing. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my own home or visiting them in theirs, I treat each one with patience and respect. I follow care instructions closely—feeding, cleaning, giving medication if needed—and take time to build trust with the animal. I know that being away from their owner can be stressful, so I do everything I can to help pets feel safe, seen, and cared for.

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.
“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!”

“Tasos is excellent. He cared for our cat for a week and did a great job in keeping us up to date and showed care and attention to detail in making sure Mittens had a good stay. We hope to board with him again soon!”

“Wivi, was lovely, as well as clear and timely in her communication with us. It was evident that Lottie had been very well cared for, and well exercised when we came to her up, and we got some wonderfully cute pictures of our dog as well. Would 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.

“Ziyi was wonderful. The communication from start to finish aas great. Lots of lovely photos and reassurance that our Teddy was settled and happy. 100% reccomend and look forward to booking with you again xx”


“Alasdair took great care of my Cane Corso, Kobe. Finding someone you feel comfortable leaving your dog with makes such a difference, and I’d happily book with him again. Thank you for looking after my big lad - highly recommended!”

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.

About: I have had the pleasure of working with a variety of dogs and cats over the last few years! I have a border collie, so I’m very much used to looking after energetic dogs who need a lot of stimulation. Additionally, I have 3 Bengal cats who are very demanding! I absolutely love to look after animals and provide them with their usual routines and spend time with them! Rest assured, you will always receive lots of videos and photos whilst I do drop in visits, walking or pet sitting to keep your mind at ease. I always like to do a couple of meet and greets, so you can get to know me and your pets can get to know me too! I approach it very much like how I would want it. I will always be able to tell you if I’m happy on the first meet and greet! If your pets have any dietary requirements or needing medication. I am happy to do this because I have experience in doing so. Furthermore, I have looked after so many puppy’s and I have trained them all of there commands. My main aim is to make sure your pet is happy but you also too! 😁 I work from home, so I am able to provide pet care at anytime of the day or night. Short notice is also fine for me! I would follow all of your usual routines to keep your pets happy. I would provide regular updates to keep you reassured. Any requests, would never be too much!
“Ella watched my chow chow for a one off night when I had to work, and hadn’t met her before - a daunting task! She went above and beyond to make sure my doggie was well-taken care of, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Will definitely be a repeat customer, wish I could put more than 5 stars! :)”

About: We both grew up with pet dogs, from a King Charles spaniel to a German Shepherd. We now have our little shih tzu (Archie) who we have brought up since a puppy. Our family & friends have relied on us to look after their dogs and we love having little furry friends around! As at least one of us always works from home, we can look after and/or walk dogs throughout the week. We walk Archie 2-3 times a day, including trips to local parks with lots of running space to play. We have a fenced courtyard for the dog(s) to play and space around the flat for them to relax. Our place is already safe for dogs as we have a curious little shih tzu living with us.

Wish was fantastic and provided such great care for our Yorkshire Terrier,Cookie ! We booked on short notice and Trish was really understanding and very helpful, picking him up and dropping back off after the weekend. Lots of updates and great communication. Cookie has come back very happy and well cared for!!!

Holly was absolutely amazing with Lola and with me! I was an absolute bag of nerves about leaving Lola for the first time, especially as this was my first experience using a dog boarding service. I had originally been looking into kennels, but something just didn't sit right with me. I was worried about how Lola would cope, particularly as she suffers from separation anxiety. After being recommended to the Rover app, I decided to look into dog boarding and that's when I came across Holly. Honestly, it was the best decision I could have made for both myself and Lola! From the very beginning, Holly reassured me that Lola would receive the best care possible, and she certainly delivered on that promise. She was absolutely fantastic with Lola, and her communication throughout was brilliant. Quick replies, regular updates, lovely pictures and reassurance that Lola was happy and doing okay. What made me happiest was knowing that Lola had such a lovely time. She didn't cry, which was a huge relief considering her separation anxiety. It was clear that she was comfortable, happy and well looked after. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to look after Lola. Holly went above and beyond, not only caring for Lola but also putting my mind at ease throughout the whole experience. 100% I will be booking Holly again! I would recommend her to absolutely anyone without hesitation. To anyone reading this review and considering booking Holly, please give her a chance. You won't regret it. She really is amazing, and Lola and I are so grateful to have found her! ❤️

Kasia is incredibly kind, generous, and accommodating, and it’s clear how much love and care she puts into looking after Yesi. She treats Yesi like her own, which gives me such peace of mind whenever I leave her in Kasia’s care. Roxy is also a lovely bonus! 🐾 I’ve used Kasia for both boarding and dogsitting, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kasia to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their dog as if they were their own. We’ll definitely continue coming back to her! ❤️

Very happy overall. Our elderly dog became unwell suddenly whilst we were away, Juliet took her to the vet for us. She sent regular photos and put our mind at ease. Communicated regularly throughout our hol. Our dog recieved great care and love throughout. Would 100% recommend.
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!

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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 .

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.
