“Athinoula has been absolutely brilliant in looking after our mini dachshund whilst we were away for our wedding 💍 we were given constant updates, reassuring us he was having the best time! Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a loving family to look after their pooch 😊 thank you so much!”
“Bethany really looked after our cockapoo well, he was welcomed into their home and we were kept updated with regular pictures. He looked right at home! 💙. I would definitely trust her to look after him again. Thank you.”
“Ivana looked after our Jack Russell/Staffy cross Brian for two nights this week, and she (plus her lovely husband and superb assistant Andrew!) were wonderful with him : ) He's not always the easiest dog to get to know as he can be wary of new people, and Ivana and Andrew showed patience, kindness and humour with him (you need humour with Brian at times!) Needless to say by the time we collected him he had made himself right at home! We're very grateful to them both and are already arranging our next holiday! Thanks so much x”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
“It was my first time using the app and I couldn’t be happier. I had lots of updates and was able to relax and felt they were really having the best time. Elizabeth and family welcomed my goblins and were perfect.”
“Poppy stayed with Victoria for a little longer this time. In new surroundings , she has been happy and sociable. Taken walks and lots of playing. Slept in Victoria’s bedroom so making it a real home from home. It was lovely to be able to relax and know Poppy was safe and well cared for. Her next holibob with Victoria is already booked! Thank you x”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
About: I have been around animals all my life and was lucky enough to grow up with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and hamsters- to name a few. I am a very loving, relaxed and laidback pet owner and love being around animals. I happily share my sofa and bed with my pets, so if that is something your dog would like, they would feel right at home when staying with me. My dog Oscar is a friendly and playful British bulldog and I also have 2 x 10 year old cats so any dog visiting would have friends to play with. I also have experience looking after puppies as well as older dogs. I work 4 long day a week but am free over the weekends to look after your dog. I generally walk Oscar once a day for an hour but sometimes he gets an additional half hour walk as well so can easily offer this for your dog. I have a large enclosed garden and space in the house to keep any dog separate from Oscar at nighttime if needed. There is also space for a crate if you prefer your dog to sleep in a crate.
“This was the first time we have left Ronnie with anyone and am so happy with the service. Demi sent lots of photos and updates showing what a great time Ronnie was having. We would be so happy to leave Ronnie in Demi's care again.”
“Genuinely couldn’t fault Rob and Hayley ! Took amazing care of my Yorkshire terrier Maple brilliant with updates to make me feel reassured but most importantly Maple was made to feel like she was In a home away from Home 😁 she loved her time there and will definitely be back in the future ! Thank you so much again guys look after yourselves 😊”
“Probably the best home care available. Ann gets to know your dogs full routine and needs, then adheres to it. She clearly cares about providing excellent care for the dogs she takes in and looks after them extremely well, whilst keeping you informed on a daily basis of how they are settling and getting on. Going forward should I need my dog boarded, Ann will be 1st choice.”
“Daisy has again had a lovely stay with Aleks. She kept us updated with many photos and videos so we could see how much fun she was having and how much she was clearly not missing us! She has really made Daisy part of the family for the week so can highly recommend”
About: Dogs have been my whole world. I've raised everything from sausage dogs to German Shepherds, adopted a retired police dog, and even had three large dogs under my roof at once. I can handle any breed with confidence. Based on Vaughan Way in Leicester city centre, your pup will enjoy daily adventures exploring Abbey Park and the riverside. I don't do rigid routines. I follow your dog's lead and adapt to their personality - whether they're shy, bouncy, or super clever. I match their energy every step of the way. Your dog gets my full attention because I have no other pets at home. Plenty of space to run, and they are treated like royalty. Bonus: Every stay includes a free professional photoshoot. I use my professional camera to take beautiful, bright, sunny photos of your pet for you to keep forever. I'm actually out of work right now, so my schedule is completely open! I'm on this whole healthy self-betterment wave, and honestly, breaking up my day with a good dog walk would be amazing for both of us. Noon or night, I'm totally flexible and happy to fit around your pup's routine. Let's get those tails wagging! Safety is literally my number one priority. I've had three large dogs at once, including a retired police dog... so I know how to read their body language and keep them out of trouble. On walks, I stay totally focused on the dog, no phone scrolling, just me and your pup exploring Abbey Park, the riverside, or wherever they love to sniff. I keep them on a lead unless you say otherwise, and I always carry poop bags and water. Honestly, I just want them to feel safe, happy, and completely themselves while you're away.
“Sharon took wonderful care of my dog, Ari. She really took the time to understand Ari’s needs and made sure he felt comfortable and happy during his stay. Her communication was good. Sharon kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely continue to use Sharon’s services in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Five stars isn't enough for Sotiria! She took care of our dog, Bandit, during the bank holiday, and she was absolutely brilliant. Professional, caring, and Bandit clearly adored her. Kept us well updated and sent lots of cute pictures as well! We're so grateful and will definitely be using her again!”

We are so thankful to Faye for looking after our Labrador Hamish. She has been incredibly reliable and treats Hamish as her own with regular walks and attention. Faye sends updates and pictures, which makes our day and goes above and beyond to make sure Hamish is catered for and is happy and tired out! Highly recommended
Excellent, very welcoming and friendly. Dimitra is very helpful, nothing was any trouble for her. Axel only stayed one night as we had a family event but he was very well looked after. Dimitra sent lots of pictures of Axel who’s was very reassuring. I would use Dimitra again .
Although Luna has stayed with Vicky and her family a few times before, this was our first time leaving her while going abroad. Vicky made me feel very relaxed and reassured with daily updates and photos. Luna thoroughly enjoys her stays with Vicky and seeing how excited she gets when we arrive, fills me with confidence to know she is well looked after and made to be one of the family!
Wonderful stay with Fran, Sam and children again. Lexi loves her walks and runs and spending time with Peppa too. Thank you for having our fur baby and taking so much care with her, especially with the children we never worry as we know she is in safe hands. Thank you.
We would highly recommend Emily and Josh! Our two dogs stayed with them for a week and couldn’t have been looked after better. From the first meet and greet it was clear that they are a very caring family who love dogs, and having never left ours before, we felt very reassured and comfortable leaving them in their capable hands. They sent us lots of pictures and updates during the week and Evie and Teddy had a fabulous time 🥰
Theresa took very good care of our dog Milo, he stayed with her for over a week while we were away on holiday and seemed very happy. She was very accommodating and professional and understood his needs. I would be more than happy to leave Milo in her care in the future.

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 East 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 .
