“My dog Bailey has just been boarding at Catherine’s . She is a great dog sitter sending me regular reports on how he is doing along with pictures and videos. He goes for lots of walks with her and has a lovely time I would definitely recommend Catherine.”
“Nicole and Simon were amazing as usual. They gave Marco lots of snuggles, attention and a lovely home to stay in for his holiday. Daily updates and pictures and excellent communication!”
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.
“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 🩶”
“Millie had a wonderful stay and we were confident that she was in safe hands. We truly felt that she was in a home from home and that she was well looked after. Michael made sure that all her additional medical needs were taken care of and communication was excellent. Couldn't wish for a better sitter for our beloved pet.”
“Thank you James and Jayne for looking after Pierre and Zaki. We’re always at peace whenever we leave them with you. Appreciate every updates, especially taking the time to send photos and videos of them too. Highly recommended to anyone.”
“Virgil loved his first stay with Abby! We were kept updated with pictures and messages throughout, which was massively appreciated and really put our minds at ease. It was clear he was very well looked after! We’ve already rebooked and would 100% recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Absolutely delighted I picked Jessie to take care of Alaska. This is the first time she had been left with a sitter, so I was a bit worried that she wouldn’t settle. Jessie reassured me daily and sent photos. I would highly recommend Jessie to anyone thinking of getting a dog sitter . Also I think having Mac her dog was a bonus for Alaska to play and go on walks with.”
“Fabulous as usual. Angus is very accommodating, I had to call @ short notice , and had no hesitation Angus makes Fred feel like he is one of the family. He has a marvellous time and I am kept updated with photos and texts. Fred is content and sleepy when I collect him , sign of a enjoyable time and I know he was well looked after with love and care. Highly recommend. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Angus every time Thank you so much Angus”
“Ella has looked after Jim a few times now! This time round Jim came with some ailments and she handled it like a pro! She had him swimming, playing with other dogs and honestly Jim was gutted to come home, he’s been passed out asleep soon! She’s so good with him, I know he’s safe and being so loved whilst I’m away! I dropped on her last minute about Jim needing tablets every 8 hours and she took it in her stride! She’s a superstar!”
“Jo and her family welcomed my Elle into their home like she was one of their family. They kindly allowed her to stay in their bedroom too. Jo followed all of the care instructions perfectly & gave plenty of wiggle room for pick up times. Jo updated me with photos & how Elle was settling in which was very comforting. I would definitely book Jo again & would 100% recommend her to anyone else. Thank you Jo you were a star ⭐️”
“Hollie was very welcoming and assuring. The dogs seemed happy right from our first meeting. Hollie sent me regular updates and photos of their stay and walks. She was very caring and attentive with my dogs. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hollie and I'm booking with her again.”
“My experience with Mel has been great from Start to finish. She is very careful and thorough with the preparation and I got lots of nice updates when I was on holiday. I honestly couldn’t ask for any more from the experience. When I picked up peanut, he was chilled and happy which is a really good sign. Would definitely recommend..”
“Both my dogs were in the best hands, settled in well and I got lovely updates to let me know how they were getting on. Avi and Ren both clearly had a great time which made it a lot easier to leave them behind while I was away. Sarah and her family are so friendly and easy to trust 😊”
About: Hi! I’m Elisabeth or Libby, I’m 19 years old and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve had hands-on experience caring fora variety of breeds like Labradors, Staffies, and Scottish Terriers, and have been the main caregiver for my family and friends dogs for years. This has given me experience with different temperaments, exercise needs, and routines — from energetic walks and playtime to calmer companionship and daily care. I’m confident with basic animal first aid skills and experienced in spotting signs that a pet may be unwell or behaving differently from normal. Through caring for family pets, I’ve also had experience communicating with vets, including assisting during video consultations and carrying out checks such as inspecting teeth and gum health under veterinary guidance. I’m planning to study Animal Behaviour at undergraduate level in September, as working with and understanding animals is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m also respectful, reliable, and trustworthy when caring for pets in other people’s homes, making sure both your dog and your home are looked after carefully while you’re away. Hi! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover currently taking some time before starting university in September after finishing college. This gives me plenty of free time and flexibility to dedicate to looking after your pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow any routines or special care instructions your pet needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own! Your pet’s safety, comfort, health, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and trustworthy environment for dog walking, daytime pet sitting, and overnight stays, either in my cosy one-bedroom seafront flat or within your own home where your pet feels most comfortable. Having recently finished college before starting university in September, I currently have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and care throughout the day. I understand how important routines, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s pet, and I always aim to make owners feel confident and reassured while they’re away. I take pride in keeping both my own flat and clients’ homes clean, tidy, and well cared for at all times. During walks, I always prioritise safety by using secure leads, staying attentive to surroundings, and making sure pets are exercised responsibly and comfortably. Living by the seafront also allows me to offer enjoyable beachfront walks, giving dogs fresh air, exercise, and a calm environment to explore safely. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual health and wellbeing, ensuring they receive the care, affection, and attention they need to feel safe, relaxed, and happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a peaceful environment by the sea, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after at all times.
“Thank you so much Lauren for caring for Barney. I was able to spend a weekend away, confident in the knowledge that he was safe and very happy in your care! This was especially important for me because Barney requires prescribed meds twice daily which you were able to administer. As a typical miniature schnauzer, Barney has quite a stubborn streak - especially when it comes to eating! You were able to encourage and support him to eat well! Thank you also for the text and photo updates you sent me - Barney looking very chilled and 'at home' with you! You are definitely the person I shall be contacting again to care for Barney when I'm next away! A BIG thank you!”
“Lisa is so lovely. I’ve always left my dog with friends, but Lisa made me feel at ease! She definitely treated my dog like a queen for a week. I will definitely be rebooking! Wouldn’t leave my dog with anyone other dogsitter. Additionally, received photos throughout her stay, Sadie was very happy.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Blackpool on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .
