“We are very happy with the care Dobby received. She was very calm and happy when we picked her up, and it was clear that she had a lovely time. Thank you so much for looking after her and making her feel comfortable in your home. We really appreciate your kindness and would definitely recommend you to other dog owners. 😊”
“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 🩶”
About: I’ve had dogs since being a young girl. A recent bereavement of my old boy has left me with lots of time and love on my hands to offer your fur babies. From being a puppy my daughter and I attended, puppy training classes for socialisation and then agility training as he got older. As he slowed down during his golden years, as a family you have to adapt to their needs as they slow down 😔 do have experience from puppies to senior years. I’m currently not working, so apart from appointments that I have to attend, I am at home all of the time. My weekends are usually free too. My house is very calm, quiet and relaxed for your dog to come in and out as they please with a patio area and safe fenced area. I can provide toys for fun and enrichment and a warm home from home space for rest. I have a fenced garden that is secure. I also have a grassy area opposite the house for good sniffs if you require me to take your dog out to stretch their legs.
“Luna had an amazing stay with Maggie and her partner. She was so well looked after, happy and completely at home with them. We received lovely updates which really put our minds at ease. Luna also had the best time playing and making friends with their lovely dog Basil! 🐶❤️ It’s clear how much they genuinely care about the dogs they look after. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Luna with them again and would highly recommend them. Thank you both for taking such good care of our girl! 🥰”
“Jo was fantastic! She took great care of Teddy and kept us updated the whole time. Teddy came home happy and relaxed, although I think he wanted to stay a little longer. Highly recommend Jo for anyone needing a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Thankyou Michael & Geoff for taking such good care of Oscar while we were away. It was great to receive the daily photos and updates. It meant we could relax knowing he was in such good hands. We've already booked Oscar's next stay with you.”
“Thank you - just picked Poppy up and she’s a happy girl, clearly been well looked after. Great communication about booking and sent me updates to let me know she was settled. My only hesitation in recommending is that they are already getting booked up!!!”
“Jessie was great with Charlie! He loved his frequent walks and playtime with Jessie. Jessie was very responsive and extremely flexible! We were so thankful that she was available to take care of Charlie with less than 24 hours notice (our other sitter canceled). Thank you!!”
“Melissa was great with my toy poodle Hero. I wanted Hero to stay with dogs for the social factor so it was great for Hero to hang out with Izzy and Bella. He stayed for a week and had lots of fun. I would certainly recommend Melissa to look after Hero in the future.”
About: We have had a dog in our family for the last 15 years....minus a few years after we lost our beloved Collie cross Sam. We are used to have small and large dogs in the family and both our boys love dogs. We live a 10 minute walk from the beach and round the corner from large fields for ball chasing. We would love to welcome your dog into our home and we have a very large fenced garden for them to play in too. I work full time but 3 days from home. We do have our own dog that I take care of too so your pet will have a friend. Walks are at 7am...on the school run...lunchtime and evening before bed so your pet will have plenty of exercise. I have a large fenced garden with a lot of space for exercise and can also crate your pet if needed for comfort. They will get a lot of love and attention.
“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”
“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. 🐶🩵”
“My boy has been so well looked after by Christina. He’s had the best time, Christina has sent lots of updates throughout the weekend, lots of video, pictures and text updates to let me know how he was getting on. I really couldn’t have picked a better sitter for Buddy. We will definitely be using Christina again, I think Buddy would insist on it 🤭”
“On handover on Saturday, Lydia made my wife and I feel reassured that Teddy would be cared for whilst we stayed in Manchester overnight. She listens to us and provides Teddy with as much attention and routine as if he were at home. We'll consider again in the future.”
“Kat was amazing, this was our first time leaving kevin with anyone who wasnt family. She kept us up to date with photos and made us feel so comfortable leaving him with her!”
“Hollie looked after our 1 year old Lab Max for close to 10 days while we were on holiday. Max loved being at her home with her dogs and family and he was very well looked after in our absence. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Max with her again and recommend her whole-heartedly.”
“We left Buster with Laura for the first time, he was extremely well looked after and enjoyed his stay. We received regular updates and photos of how he was getting on so had no worries while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with Laura again.”
“Highly recommend this lovely couple. Left our 7 month old for his first overnight and he was so well looked after - lots of lovely walks, attention and care, and Lisa brushed him. Also, Lisa sent lots of photo updates.”

Very friendly, the meet and greet helped to settle my nerves as Zena my husky was instantly at ease with Cherise, the house and their dog. Got plenty of updates, was running late to pick Zena up due to traffic but they were very understanding, Zena really enjoyed her stay and even came home with her new favourite toy. Would deffinately recommend and will be using them again.
Nicole and Simon, you are just the best!! We spent years using great Kennels, but always found our dogs came back stressed and taking days to get back to normal. Our holidays were always clouded with guilt leaving them in Kennels, what must feel like eternity for them. 2025 was a particularly bad year for our current Dog Buster, who ended up having a panic attack whilst in kennels. 2026 was going to be different, and we needed someone to look after him in a home environment. After searching, we discovered Nicole & Simon on Rover. After an initial meet and greet session with Nicole and Simon, it was clear within a short time that all was going to work out. They clearly love dogs and we could tell this was going to work very well for all. We therefore booked Buster for 19days in July. Buster was treated like a King. He had his own fun packed Holiday of Love, Cuddles, Walks, Treats with Nicole or Simon with him 24/7. Buster truly settled and behaved as if he was at home, but with a lot more attention. On return from our holidays, he was no more excited to see me than if I'd nipped to the shops. Once home Buster he settled straight away, without the multiple days of being in a mood with us all. We cannot thank Nicole & Simon enough for the stress they removed from our family annual Holiday and for the love and care they gave Buster.
We are very happy with the care Dobby received. She was very calm and happy when we picked her up, and it was clear that she had a lovely time. Thank you so much for looking after her and making her feel comfortable in your home. We really appreciate your kindness and would definitely recommend you to other dog owners. 😊

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Blackpool
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Blackpool on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of September 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 .

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 .
