About: I have had dogs and cats all my life, I have just completed an Animal Biology degree and worked as a dog walker/groomer for over 2 years. I am about to start my masters in vet physio I am currently studying my Master’s degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy on a part-time basis, which gives me excellent weekly flexibility. I am fully available for pet care all weekdays (Monday to Friday) and all day on Sundays. Because my schedule is highly adaptable around my studies and flexible part-time work, I can easily accommodate regular feeding times, structure routine walks, and provide plenty of dedicated companionship throughout the day Safety is my absolute top priority. I have a fully secure, securely fenced garden where dogs can safely play and stretch their legs. I have a very friendly puppy of my own who loves making new friends and keeping guest dogs company. Drawing on my Animal Biology background, I maintain a calm, highly supervised, and hazard-free environment, ensuring your pet's emotional and physical wellbeing is looked after at all times
About: I have many years experience caring for my own pets and for family and friends, including feeding, walking, and making sure they feel comfortable and settled while their owners are away. As a young child I was taught how to care for our family pets, from cats, guinee pigs, hamsters and goldfish, dogs came later into my life when I became a young adult. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I always take the time to get to know their individual needs and personalities. When it comes to home care, I’m tidy, trustworthy, and conscientious. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and well looked after. Whether it’s watering plants, keeping things organised, or simply ensuring everything runs smoothly, I take pride in doing things properly. Above all, I genuinely enjoy helping others and providing peace of mind, knowing that both pets and homes are in safe hands. At the moment, I work from home four days a week, which suits me perfectly as it allows me to care for my dog and look after any others when needed. This arrangement gives me the flexibility to manage my responsibilities comfortably and ensures the pets receive plenty of attention throughout the day. During the weekends, I have increased availability to care for your beloved pets, should you need it. My days are dedicated to discovering fresh walking routes and exploring new destinations, all tailored to provide plenty of stimulation and adventure for those curious noses eager to experience new scents and surroundings. I have a fenced secure garden which is pet friendly just like my home, creating a safe, trusting, and comfortable environment is always my top priority. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, likes, and dislikes to help them feel right at home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just some quiet company, I always make sure their wellbeing comes first. I pay close attention to any instructions or special needs, and I’m happy to adapt my approach depending on the service you need. If you have any questions or specific requests, please let me know—your pet’s safety and happiness are at the heart of everything I do!
“Winnie had a great time with Ione and her family. Ione is attentive and experienced and knew exactly how to take care of an excitable pup like Winnie. I got regular updates and plenty of pics and vids. The children and Buddy were also very sweet and loving towards Winnie, and I’m glad she had a big brother for the day. We would gladly have Ione sit Winnie again in the future and definitely recommend her as a sitter!”

“Peggy had a lovely afternoon with Meisha and was very well looked after, with lots of activities and cuddles to keep her happy. The house and garden are 100% dog friendly and safe and I have no hesitation in recommending Meisha. Peggy will be staying again very soon.”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I live with my husband Matthew. I have been looking after people's pets since I was a child, and I've always loved animals. We are an animal loving family (the kind that throw their dogs birthday parties). I am very trustworthy and love having dogs around. We have a detached house and a secure garden with a large lawn for them to play on. A dog in our care will be treated as a family pet and have the run of the house and garden. The can sit on the sofas with us and come upstairs at night . My dogs mean the world to me, and I pride myself on giving all dogs the best possible care. We only take small to medium dogs due to having a little chihuahua who finds large dogs a bit overwhelming, so you don't have to worry about your dog being upset by larger breeds. We may consider a slightly larger dog if it is very calm and/or older. I work part time (2 days per week), and my husband does short days, so the pooches are never on their own very long. We like to take them on at least two good walks per day (45 to 60 minutes) in different locations, typically parks or forests. We make sure all dogs on our care are really happy, and I send regular photos and updates about your pooches because I know how nerve wracking it can be leaving them. We typically look after only one client's dog(s), so your pet(s) would get our full attention. I am happy to give any medication and I have done doggy first aid. Please let us know your dog's routine and likes/dislikes and we will do our very best to accommodate them. We're happy to answer any questions you might have, and we are looking forward to meeting you and your dog! I work part time (2 days), and my husband works from home sometimes and does short days, so our dogs (and yours) will seldom be left alone, and never for very long. We walk them 2 to 3 times a day in a range of locations to keep it fun! We have a detached 4 bedroom house with a large, secure rear garden laid to lawn. Your dogs will have the free run of the whole house. We always keep your dogs on leads for walks, and we will make sure they only eat the food you provide.
About: Im Highly Experienced in large breeds though specialising in German Shepherds & Siberian Huskies. First aid trained Access to large garden with toys Three loving huskies to play/socialise with amazing temperament to both Males & females. I always do a pre meet up at mine before taking on any sitting request. I work from home so have plenty of time to socialise and walk any dog in my care. Will always have access to the garden and forest walks around my area. I have a 7ft secure fenced garden protecting any dog from escaping. Crates if a dog needs any time to themselves for peace away from other dogs here.
“Teddys first daycare with Tom & Nico couldn’t have been better! The communication before, during and after has been 10/10 with lots of pictures and videos for us to enjoy! Think Teddy has found a new bestie in Marley which is even better for his stays?! He can’t wait to come back!”

About: I have been a pet owner since I remeber as my family always had many pets. I have experience with puppy and dog training, looking after a senior animal and can look after all types of pets. I am currently an owner of two gorgeous huskies, mine coon cat, corn snake, fancy mice and betta fish. I live in a very spacious detached house with garden so all pets have their own place. I have previously been an owner of German shepherds, hamsters, dwarf rabbit, guinea pig, chinchilla and parrot. I have also looked after my mums yorkies and my sister cats often. If you also love animals as much as I do and wish for your pet to have amazing time while you're away, just reach out! Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I work full time from home only, so your pet will be well looked after. I am also willing to travel to collect your pet for a stay. I have a detached house with private garden. My dogs are very well trained and they love company. I have a large indoor cat as well. If your pet (dog or cat) also likes company they will have loads of fun. If your dog or cat does not tolerate other pets, that won't be a problem at all as I will be able to provide them a separate room. All caged pets are kept away from dogs or cat to assure they are safe and stress free.
About: Hi, I’m Aurora! I’ve always adored animals, and those around me often refer to me as the cat or dog whisperer. I can often get animals that are usually shy/anxious to warm up to me pretty well. This may be because I’ve always been around animals and have a shy/timid temperament myself! 🫣 I grew up with 2 labradors, Molly and Maggie, who were my best friends. Since I was old enough to help with their care I have been looking after animals. I had another dog later on before I moved over to the UK (from the US) and I now have 4 cats (They wouldn’t dare let me have a dog now & I wouldn’t have space anyway 😂) I have looked after dogs occasionally for friends and through another app, and I’m very eager to spend some time with more puppers! I’m confident in walking dogs, though I may struggle with large dogs that pull as I’m quite petite. I have experience walking dogs who are dog reactive as well as looking after anxious dogs. Having had up to 8 cats (& owning 6 for many years before the oldest 2 sadly passed away) means I’m somewhat of an expert at feeding times! I’m capable of administering any oral medications required, I have experience of this with both cats & dogs. I can bathe dogs or do other grooming bits (I have long haired cats & I’m able to bathe them 😆😬) and I’m happy to take on any specific requirements you may have for your dog! I’m also happy to look after other animals - and even plants 🌱 I will take notes on your care requirements when we meet and will be sure to look after your pets to the best of my ability and hopefully as close as possible to the way you would care for them 😊 I have a pretty open schedule as I have Cystic Fibrosis so I am on full time disability and therefore can be around 24/7 if required. My health has improved a bit recently so this won’t affect my ability to care for your pets, and I could really do with some dog walking to get me out of the house! I will care for your pets as I would my own. I am happy to stick to any routines or requirements which you may have. I understand being anxious to leave your pets & will provide as many updates as you’d like! (I can sometimes send too many photos, so please communicate your preferences to me 😊)
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with puppy training—from crate training and leash manners to basic commands—and I’m also comfortable providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets, including administering medication and keeping a calm, familiar environment. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I make sure every visit leaves your pet happy and stress-free I am a healthy, active, retired professional lady. I live alone so would have plenty of time and love to give to your fur baby My garden is fully fenced. Your fur baby would live indoors. Sleep on my bed if that is what they are used to. I have no other pets so it will be just your dog.
“Loco loves spending time with Abigail and her little dog Rosie. He loves playing with Rosie and always comes back shattered. He gets very excited now when we pull up outside to drop him off!”

Kristel and Lewis were amazing at looking after Finley. They reassured me with their large breed knowledge and after safe introductions to the other dogs, he had an amazing time! Limited walking due to the very hot weather, but plenty of enrichment. He has made some lovely friends and I will definitely book him in again. Thank you so much for looking after Finley xx

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bolsover on Rover is £26.45 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,069 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Bolsover. About 84% of Bolsover sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Bolsover commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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 East Midlands 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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
