“Rosie, our Old Tyme Bulldog, stayed with Amanda and her family for a week while we went on holiday. We would highly recommend her. Amanda and her family clearly love dogs and Rosie had a great time. Amanda sent us regular updates, photos and videos throughout the week so we didn't have to worry whether Rosie was okay as we had videos of her enjoying herself. It was really reassuring. Great communication throughout. Rosie will definitely be staying with Amanda again and we'll be checking her availability before we book our next holiday :-)”
“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 have always had dogs and cats as pets and can't imagine my life without a dog in particular. My last two dogs, a staffing and an Americam Bulldog, both lived to a great old age in a happy and loving home, whilst my sons were growing up. I currently have Chester, a lovely little cavapoo/ bischon cross who is 8. He goes everywhere with me and loves his walks as it allows him to meet lots of his doggies pals. He is extremely sociable and loves having mates round to stay. I'm a retired teacher so have a lot of availability, time and patience to be able to look after others' doggy pets. As I live in a lovely rural area, there are plenty of places around for lovely long walks and adventures. I only board dogs in my own home, which is a semi worth a lovely fenced garden and nearby fields. My dog, Chester lives with me and is very friendly and loves sharing his space with other doggy pals. My house is clean and safe and I dint smoke.

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.
“This was my first time leaving my cat with someone new and thank goodness I chose Alexandra , she was absolutely amazing with my cat and sent pictures and updates every day . I've been blown away by her tremendous care for animals and how well she looked after my cat. I will defiantly recommend Alexandra and will use again for help next time I need to go away. Thank you kindly Alex Xx”

“Victoria and her son did an amazing job of looking after Jasnah. My wife and I were pretty apprehensive about leaving our pup for such a long time after some bad experiences with other boarders but we were so happy with Victoria and our faith has been restored. We got regular updates and Jasnah was so happy all the time, we will definitely be booking again for all of our trips!”
“Ann was so lovely, she reassured me that my 2 JCT will be fine, I was sent a message and photos to show me that they were fine. Thank you Ann, Chas and Alfie will definitely be back 💕”
“Always nervous when leaving the boys with someone new, meet and greet was great. Alfie is the more chilled out one, where as Hugo still only being a pup is the more boisterous one. My nerves were quashed within an hour or so, they settled in great with Faye and her daughter. Regular updates and photos over the 4 days we were away. On returning home they were happy and content to the point I said to my husband, i don't think they have missed one bit. Will definitely be rebooking Faye again !!!”
“I left Sheru with Polly for a month. Unfortunately, our flight was cancelled due to the ongoing county conflict and I couldn’t pick him up after the end of the period. I was really worried about him and didn’t know what to do. I was also concerned about where to leave him as Polly had another appointment. I asked Polly if she could extend the booking and keep Sheru with her. Finally she agreed, we were relieved. She regularly updates me and sends his pictures. I truly appreciate her help and the way she’s taking care of my pet.”
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.
“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!”
“Welcoming dog boarder with a great environment for our dog, company of other four legged friends, people around and walks to enjoy. Kathryn is knowledgeable and experienced, so we’re hoping for our dog it can be a home from home when we go away.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old - a variety of breeds. I offer a home from home service and try to keep to your dogs normal routines. I have 2 dogs of my own - a Golden Retriever and a Cockapoo - both have exceptional temperaments and are very used to other dogs visiting. I currently work part time from home on Monday to Weds lunch time hence my available times showing as Thursday to Sunday although the beginning of the week isn’t totally out of the question. When I have dogs staying I will ensure that I am around all the time. I have a large secure garden and two friendly dogs. No other pets. I will keep your dogs routine as close to their normal pattern as possible.
“I was struggling for dog care as my original dog care had cancelled on me last minute. I contacted jade and she was very quick and efficient on getting Rodney booked in and was happy to rearrange her days to accommodate Rodney for the 4 nights. I was anxious at first leaving Rodney with someone I hadn’t before but Jade was so good and reassuring right from the off and within 5 minutes of introducing Jade to Rodney I felt so reassured. She listened and made a list of everything me and Rodney do and his needs and wants. She sent me so many photos and videos every day and updated me even when I didn’t ask which was amazing so I could go away enjoy myself and knew Rodney was being well cared for. I collected Rodney and he didn’t want to leave when I came to collect him which is a reflection of the amazing care and fuss he had received. It was like Rodney was Jades own dog and she said how she loved having him. Going forward I will be definitely using Jades dog care service again and I’m sure Rodney will be excited at the thought of this as well. Keep up the good work jade from me and my Rods and thank you so much 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.
“Keerthee looked after my dog really well for 5 days. My dog looked happy and relaxed everyday. She was sending me daily updates and photos of my dog. I will definitely recommend her because she knows what she is doing and she is well experienced.”
“I’m so glad we found this lovely family to look after our dog when we can’t take him with us. You won’t find a more dog friendly, welcoming family. Even their little one looks forward to Storm coming. We won’t use anyone else now.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Blaby is £31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between £28 and £38 per night.
On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,770 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across the city of Blaby. About 92% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
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 1,770 sitters in Blaby, 72% 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.
