“Catherine is the only sitter we have every confidence in to look after our dog. She treats him like a member of her family and sends us photos and videos to let us know how settled he is. No hesitation in recommending Catherine and have got another one booked in!!”
“Nicole is fantastic - she gave regular updates so we were reassured that Noodle was doing OK, despite this was the first time of leaving him. Can't recommend her highly enough & feel I can relax on future trips knowing he is looked after (spoilt)!!!!”
“Danielle and her partner Dan were fantastic from the very first message. They gave Winnie a proper home from home stay, she loved every second of it and was honestly so lovely to see how much they loved Winnie. Amazing sitters and pup carers! 10/10 from us and would highly recommend. Winnie will be visiting again in no time I’m absolutely sure of it 🩶”
“This is Tia's second stay and couldn't have been happier. Guys took her out for a different walk almost every day and it seems she's done more sightseeing than us on our holiday.”
“Nara had her first overnight stay with James. She was well looked after and James made sure she had something to eat when she wouldn't eat her meals. I would certainly recommend James to look after your dog.”
“Abby is absolutely wonderful and has the perfect household for caring for my little baby, Nellie 🐾 Abby's furry bundle of joy, Tanky is adorable! I think Nellie fell in love ♥️ Abby is such a caring dog lover. I would highly recommend Abby for her services to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. 10000% recommended from me. Thanks so much Abby 🐾❤️😊”
“Gus and Nicky are absolutely amazing. Albert doesn't settle anywhere we take him and struggles with separation anxiety as well are both home all the time but he's really excited to be dropped off and is not in any rush to come home when we pick him up. We are so relieved that we have found someone who truly loves what they are doing, offers a super friendly home and are such genuine and caring people. Trip is absolutely amazing with Albert and they play, sleep, walk and cuddle so well together. I would never consider taking Albert anywhere else. We have definitely found Albert's home from home holiday home. Thank you so much. See you soon. 🐶🩵”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love of dogs, over 25 years of hands-on experience, and the fact that I currently have my own friendly 6-month-old Cavapoo, Milo, who absolutely loves playing with other dogs and has the best personality. He helps create a fun, social, and welcoming environment for visiting dogs. I understand that every dog is different, so I always tailor my care to their needs, routine, and personality. Whether it’s an energetic younger dog needing playtime, walks, and consistency, or an older dog who needs a gentler pace, patience, and extra comfort, I’m happy to adapt. I also work from home, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to offer drop-in visits, regular toilet breaks, walks, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. Your dog will never feel ignored or left alone for long periods. Most importantly, I treat every dog as if they were my own—providing a safe, loving, and reliable home-from-home experience so owners can relax knowing their pet is in caring hands et care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home during weekdays, which means I’m around throughout the day to give dogs plenty of attention, companionship, and regular care. I work 9–5, but this allows me to be present for toilet breaks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets feel settled and comfortable. I already care for my own puppy, Milo, so taking time for walks, play, and supervision is part of my everyday schedule. I make sure he gets a walk at lunchtime each day, and I’d be happy to include another dog in that routine depending on their needs and energy levels. My wife is also home on some days while studying at university, which means there is often additional company and supervision in the house. Because pet care is already built into our home life, any dog staying with us would receive lots of attention, affection, exercise, and a warm, welcoming environment throughout the week. I provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment for pets in my home, making sure they feel relaxed and part of the family while they are with me. I have a good-sized paved yard that is fully fenced and gated, so dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, fresh air, and play during day boarding or stays. I am very much led by each owner’s preferences and will always follow your instructions on how your dog likes to be cared for, including feeding routines, walks, sleeping arrangements, training commands, medication, and any little habits that help them feel at home. I understand every dog is different, so I always tailor my care to suit their individual needs and personality.
“Melissa was fantastic - I felt totally at ease leaving Henry with her. She kept me updated during his stay and shared photos. I would definitely be using her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
“I can't rate Joanne highly enough. Our Schnauzer Alfie has been in the very safe hands that Joanne provided. Highly recommended and definitely will use her again in the future 🥰”
“My old boy is a rescue, naturally distrustful due to previous people who had him, and can be quite shy, especially since his mom passed away a year ago. Well, a week with Cherise and he's now howling away happily! I was kept up to date and pictures and videos were sent. I was very nervous as I had never left him with a stranger for long periods before. She made all that anxiety and fear dissipate in seconds. We will DEFINITELY book again”
“Jess was brilliant with our dog, we were regularly updated with messages and pictures. She was very well cared for and we would have no hesitation in recommending Jess or using her again.”
“Martin (Sarah’s husband ) was looking after spud for us as Sarah was away, we can not thank you both enough for accommodating spud while you where away and for all the updates,/ photos of spud it’s clear he has had a great time and he will definitely be back”
“Lauren and her husband looked after my dog Ozzie for the day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I met Lauren, she made me feel completely at ease, especially as it was the first time I’d ever left Ozzie with someone who wasn’t family. They took him on plenty of walks and kept me updated throughout the day, which was really reassuring. It was clear he was being well looked after and having a great time. When I picked him up he came back happy and tired – always a good sign! I’m so grateful for the care they gave him, and Ozzie can’t wait to come back again. I would definitely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Teddy has settled nicely at Ella's place this weekend. He's back to tricks here in his home, but was better walking this morning and approaching other dogs in the neighbourhood. She loves looking after him.”
About: Ever since I was younger I have loved dogs of every kind! I have looked after dogs since I can remember and love every second! I have a full time job but in my spare time I would love to look after your pets and to put their safety at the top of my priority. I hope you choose me to look after your babies as I will make sure they live the life of luxury! Tell me your preferences and I will do my very best to make them happen! I work a full time job but it is shift work with emergency services so this means that I can fit around the normal 9-5 schedule. I see this side hustle as a luxury rather than a money making opportunity! My home is pet free so no worrying about other dogs, it has a fully fenced garden that is big enough for toilet breaks and a little run around. As well as this I have a children free home so their time with me would be fully theirs! I have a great big park by my house that has space for a nice run around. Obviously this purely depends on lead preference.
“Absolutely perfect boarding experience, lovely family, plenty of photos and updates! Max was playing with the little girl in the garden and went on a long walk! He’s been fast asleep since I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave, bless him! Would definitely recommend this sitter! Thank you so much xx”

Another great stay with Michael & Geoff! Kim loves her home from home. As always, Kim was collected from our house on time and returned looking well and happy. Lots of photos and updates from her hosts. We always feel confident that Kim will be taken great care of when staying with her second family. She can't wait to come back for another holiday!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Blackpool
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Blackpool on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 876 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Blackpool. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 North West England 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 .
