“We couldn’t have asked for better. From the moment we met, it was obvious how much care and attention our dogs would receive. We had complete peace of mind while we were away, with regular updates, photos and messages that showed just how happy and settled they were. Our dogs were treated like part of the family, and it was clear they were genuinely loved and cared for. They came home relaxed, happy and very well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring and professional to look after their dogs. Thank you so much we’ll definitely be booking again!”

“What an absolutely brilliant weekend stay for my dog Shadow - he had a fantastic time. The guys went out of their way to make sure that Shadow was happy and well looked after and the communication was fantastic. Lots of photos and videos, which I really enjoyed seeing and meant that I didn’t worry about him for a moment. Lots of exercise and play in a variety of places, plenty of snuggles and a lovely playmate in their own dog Macey. There was even a private dog field booked and Shadow had a great time running around, playing with some new friends. They were happy to follow my slightly fussy way of feeding different things morning/evening, which I appreciated. Finally, Liam and his partner are so friendly and it was really enjoyable to meet them. I can 100% recommend these guys to look after your dog and I will definitely be more than happy to have them look after Shadow again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Neil to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby while they're away. Neil looked after our dog for five days while we were on holiday, and we couldn't have been happier with the care he received. He treated our dog as if he were his own, making him feel comfortable, loved, and right at home throughout his stay. We had complete peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. Thank you, Neil!”
“I cannot fail to recommend Derek highly enough to anyone who is thinking of boarding their dog(s) with him. Derek has taken such good care of my pooch walking him three times a day, seeing that he is utterly content and happy at all times, sending video and photos of what they have been doing all through the day. My boy has come home to me very happy and looking great! I will certainly use Derek's services again as there is nothing that he will not do to ensure your dog's happiness whilst they are staying with him.”
“Second time Sean has had Molly and the first time she stayed overnight. When we arrived, Molly was clearly happy to see Sean and we had some great pictures and videos of her enjoying herself in her stay. Molly’s home from home! Thanks again for looking after her.”
“At short notice Emma was able to home board our beautiful 11 month old springer spaniel Bryn. Bryn loved his first ever home boarding experience. Emma kept us updated daily with pictures & video’s of Bryn. We could see that he was happy, being cared for and that helped us enjoy our holiday. Bryn is highly energetic and had so much fun with Emma. I would highly recommend Emma. Emma is professional and reliable.”
“Alzbeta looked after our little puppy Marshall over night, she really made every effort in making us feel at ease and happy to leave him with her. She sent us regular updates of him playing, out walking, his feeding and sleeping. She is a really lovely lady and we would 100% recommend her and feel happy to leave Marshall again. Thank you so much for being so kind and caring towards Marshall. A beautiful secure safe and clean home where he was treated like a baby! We look forward to seeing you again soon.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had four family dogs over the years, giving me plenty of hands on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes and needs. I also regularly dog sit for my neighbour, so I’m used to following owners routine and making sure dogs feel happy, safe and comfortable while they’re away. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit dog care easily into my routine. I’m available most evenings, weekends, and during holidays and I’m happy to be flexible where possible. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether your dog needs company while you’re away, a walk or overnight care, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I always take the time to follow the owners instructions carefully. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax.
“Abigail and Jose hosted our rescue pup for a trial night which was his first time staying away from home since we’ve had him. Their care and attention to detail was phenomenal and instantly made us and Tiggy feel safe and comfortable. So willing to work around our dogs needs and he had the most amazing time, he wanted to stay and go on another scenic walk in the countryside. ☺️”
“Thank you Alison for having Juno for a last minute stay! Juno was really happy, she obviously had a lovely time and the photos and updates were really appreciated as we have never left her with anyone overnight before!”
“Managed to get Chloe to look after Obi very short notice. Great communication and very personable, put my mind at ease via conversation and when I took him to the property. Would have no issue in recommending, will definitely use again.”

We honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after Max while we were away on holiday! It was our first time ever leaving him, so I was really anxious about it, but Liz put our minds at ease straight away and made us feel so reassured from the moment we met her. Liz was absolutely amazing with Max and went above and beyond to make sure he had the best time. She took him on lovely walks, even taking him to waterfalls and beautiful places, and the photos she sent us were absolutely incredible! It was so lovely to see how happy he was and how much fun he was having. We also got loads of updates while we were away, which gave us such peace of mind and meant we never felt like we were missing out. Liz is genuinely such a lovely, kind and caring person, and it was obvious how much she cared about Max. We highly recommend Liz to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring and reliable to look after their dog. We honestly couldn’t have been happier with her and wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after Max again. Thank you so much, Liz! 🐾❤️
We found Timmy and Liam through Rover, and they came very highly recommended by other reviewers. It is easy to see why. They first arranged a meet-and-greet so they could get acquainted with our dog, Bonnie, and help her become familiar with them. We met Timmy at a local dog park, and he was extremely friendly, immediately putting us at ease. When the day came to take Bonnie to their home, we were greeted by Liam, who was just as welcoming. His enthusiasm and genuine love for dogs were clear from the moment we met him, which was lovely to see. Bonnie can be a bit of a handful because of her high energy levels, but Liam was not put off at all. In fact, he seemed to fully embrace Bonnie’s madness! While we were away, we received regular photographs and updates. They created a WhatsApp group so both my wife and I could keep up with what Bonnie was doing. What struck us as particularly nice was that the messages never felt formal or overly businesslike. They were casual, friendly and chatty, almost as though we were receiving updates from old friends. We felt completely reassured that Bonnie was happy, safe and being well cared for. We will definitely be recommending Timmy and Liam to others and would happily leave Bonnie with them again. First-class service all around.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Blaenau Gwent on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of August 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 Wales 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.
