“Athinoula provided amazing care for our 6 year old cocker spaniel, Hazel. She took the time to arrange a pre visit to ensure Hazel got along with her dog and it was clear that she loves dogs and provided lots of care and attention. I had regular updates and photos of Hazel at her home and on outings with the family. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Athinoula for anyone looking for a caring and professional dog sitter!”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover 🐾 and love getting to know each pet’s personality…. whether they’re full of zoomies, a bit shy, or just want cuddles and company. I’ve had my own Whippet and Jack Russell, so I’m used to different sizes, energy levels and temperaments. I also have my own cat, so I understand routines, boundaries and helping pets feel safe and settled 🐶🐱 I studied animal care for a year, volunteered at a dog groomers and have experience with dog walking, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter changes and basic clean-ups. I’m happy to send photo updates and will treat your pet like my own with patience, kindness, care and plenty of compliments! 🥰 My availability varies depending on the service required, but as a general guide: Saturday: flexible all day Sunday: flexible all day Monay - Friday: available after 6pm 🐾 Please message me directly with the service, date and times you need, and I’ll be happy to confirm whether I’m available I’ll care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their usual routine as possible. At home, I have a garden for fresh air and toilet breaks, and I also have a cat, so pets staying with me would need to be comfortable around cats. I’m happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, toilet breaks, litter changes, cuddles and company. If I’m caring for pets in their owner’s home, I’ll follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and send photo updates if wanted
“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.”
About: I have had cats since I was 5 years old and dogs for 3 years. I have handled everything from feeding and cleaning to birth and feeding newborns every two hours. I even have experience nursing a cat with congenital heart failure. I have a trained Afghan hound who can be off leash, so I am no stranger to stubborn active “untrainable” dogs. I am currently free with no commitments and so if needed can take on same day booking for walking and check ins. I will always update my availability. I will always follow the instructions and requirements given by owners. I understand the level of trust placed by owners to anyone they entrust the care of their beloved pet or their home environment and therefore understand that communication is vital. I will always give a report about the walk / check in and will update owners on any injury or out of the ordinary behaviour. My vast experience permits me to recognise canine and feline body language paying attention to the small details.
“Nelly had the best night with Aleksandra I don’t think she’s happy to be back home with me. Aleksandra kept me updated with photos so I knew she was having fun with her new friends I will definitely be using her again knowing she was in safe hands”
“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.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my first time using the app! Holly looked after my Winnie for 5 days and was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. She gave me regular updates, took him on lovely walks, and even treated him to a new toy, which he adored! Most importantly, she was so reassuring and responsive, which really helped ease my nerves about leaving him. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave Winnie, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Chester & Willow thoroughly enjoyed their overnight trial run 1st time away from home. Ann was absolutely fantastic and they are already booked in for their next stay. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have had dogs all my life and have grown up around them, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I currently have a lovely 7-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer who is gentle, affectionate and loves being around other dogs. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. I will treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, fuss and playtime. I’m happy to take the time to get to know each dog’s individual personality, routine and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a quieter, more relaxed day. I want owners to feel completely comfortable and reassured that their dogs are in caring, responsible hands. I’m looking forward to welcoming some lovely dogs and giving them the same love and attention I give my own! I currently work full-time in the same village as my home, with flexible working hours, and I usually work from 6am until 1pm. My partner Marc works 9am until 5pm, so there is only a short window during the day when we are both out. We also both have Fridays off, giving us extra time to spend with the dogs. I’m used to fitting my routine around my own dog’s needs and will always prioritise making sure any dogs in my care are comfortable, happy and well looked after. We have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced garden that cannot be accessed directly from the street, providing a secure environment for dogs to enjoy. Our own dog, Bailey, is a lovely, gentle 7-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer who enjoys the company of other dogs. She has her own comfortable space in our utility room, with access to the garage and garden during the day. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines and personalities, so I will always take the time to make sure your dog feels safe, settled and cared for. Your dog’s wellbeing and safety will always be my priority, and I will discuss their individual needs with you beforehand.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of puppies and dogs over the years and have a fully-enclosed third of an acre garden, with direct access to field walks. I am semi-retired, doing a small amount of working from home, and I am looking to use the rest of the time to walk and play with dogs! Your dog will have full freedom to roam, play, and stretch out in the spacious garden and living area. For crate-trained dogs who need their 'safe haven' for naptime, I also have comfortable, open-door crates in various sizes available.
“Chang is such a lovely person and it was clear from the first meeting that she was a perfect fit for my dog Nacho. She had him for 8 nights and gave several daily updates throughout that time. I could see how happy he was and really comforted our family while we were away. She took care of him like he was her own and for this I am most appreciative. She made sure he was comfortable, happy and well cared for. Any special instructions were followed and updates given too. Thank you Chang.”
“We were really pleased to hear that Ned had a wonderful time with Kathryn and her family! They were so lovely, and it was great to be kept updated throughout his stay. We felt confident that he was well looked after and given lots of love and attention. We wouldn’t hesitate to let him stay with this lovely family again.”
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.
“Valle our greyhound stayed for the weekend with Sharon & her lovely family again. Sharon updated me with photos & messages during his stay. I had absolutely no worries, as I knew he was safe, happy & cared for. He had a fabulous weekend & was certainly in no rush to leave!! Valle will definitely be back again. Thank you Sharon for taking such great care of our boy”

“Helen looked after our Henry while we were on holiday, she did an absolutely amazing job. We had updates sent with photos and videos to let us know Henry was settled and happy. We had total peace of mind he was in great hands and being well cared for. Helen is a really lovely lady and fully knows dogs inside out, we could not have wished for more. I would highly recommend Helen and we will will be back Thank you again :)”

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!

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 following local licensing requirements.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 1,745 sitters in Blaby, 74% 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.
