“We left our 2 little doggies in Shannon's care while my family went away, its daunting trusting someone to take care of our dogs but I can honestly say Shannon really did take wonderful care of my fur babies, she gave me daily updates pictures even gave them a bath after muddy walks, Shannon is a natural with animals and it shows, will definitely be booking again.”
“Extremely happy with booking and would highly recommend Aneta. Aneta looked after my cockapoo for an overnight stay. He's normally a very nervous and clingy dog but from the get go Aneta was extremely professional and planned Berties stay in advance to ensure that he was made as comfortable and happy as possible. She took him on plenty of walks and showed him extensive attention and affection throughout his stay. Making sure he felt at home. I loved getting regular updates and photos showing how he was getting on. Bertie left happy and stress free. What more could you ask for? Very happy, thank you!”
“It was so lovely of Janine to give me her time to meet her in advance of booking. Maisie has clearly had a lovely mini break - thanks for all the photos. A beautiful, secure location & such a friendly host. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Brian and Erika were fantastic, Minnie had a brilliant time with them. We felt that she was in very safe hands. Would definitely go back to them again. Very friendly and their dogs are lovely too.”
“Maggie and John are absolutely fantastic caring and easy to communicate with. We had no worries about our Dobby staying with them at all as we knew he would be taken good care of. We got regular updates how is Dobby doing with pictures of Dobby and he looked very happy. 💖🤗”
“Veronika and her family were lovely and made Teddy feel very welcome. We were updated daily with lots of photos while we were away. I dont think Teddy wanted to come home.”
“Sarah was just perfect! We were so lucky that our baby boy Billy was looked after by her. Our dogs are the most precious thing in our lives and having Sarah (and her family) was incredibly important! Plenty of updates, photos and details of his days/routine, including always being able to respond our requests too. Thanks a lot Sarah! We recommend You so much! All the stars to You! (5 certainly not enough 😊) Thanks thanks thanks!”
“Sandra went above and beyond when our train was delayed meaning we would struggle to pick up the dogs on time and she drove the 30 mins each way to drop them off at my daughter’s house. Both dogs seemed to have enjoyed their time with Sandra. Such a shame she is over an hour away from my home.”
“Bradley looked after Piglet and Pumba our sausage dogs and they had a wonderful mini holiday. We were sent regular updates & they had a wonderful time with Lincoln & enjoyed their walks. I felt really relaxed with them staying with Bradley & they would love to go back !!”
“Katie was fantastic, her communication throughout was brilliant, she was very reassuring as this was kato's first time away from home we was regularly updated with pictures with how he was getting on, Katie's dog Kali is a beautiful dog and was so good with Kato considering he is only a puppy, her expertise and experience with dogs is clear to see, would strongly recommend booking with Katie, you won't be disappointed!”
“Having needed to get my greyhound Rummy in somewhere for the weekend whilst I was away, I could not have been more lucky that Kane was available. After having never boarded Rummy in someone else's home I was a bit anxious but after conversing with Kane and then taking Rummy and seeing where he was staying those worries evaporated. Rummy settled in straight away. Kane kept me updated a couple of times a day and asked what my preference would be for the number of updates which I thought was very kind. When picking Rummy up he was pleased to see me but I could tell he'd had a great time. I have a very content dog and will 100% be using Kane in the future.”
“Brooke was absolutely amazing. She had cosmo a retriever-cocker mix (the same breed as her puppy) for a day and overnight and he had the best time. She sent loads of videos and photos and he was playing with her lovely dogs sooo much!! She even washed and brushed cosmo and the pick up/ drop off service she offers is fab too. Would highly recommend Brooke and will be using her in the future for any of my doggy boarding needs.”
“It's been the 1st time of ever using this kind of service Dainora has been amazing, I was able to notice that Sasha had an amazing time with them, she never showed any kind of anxiety. I'm definitely be using her services again and will highly recommend it to anyone who needs it”
“Our pup had a wonderful time with lina. She gave us plenty of photographs and videos. She was well looked after and followed the schedule we asked of her. We will definitely be using lina again if she so wishes to look after Evie again. Thank you so much!!!”
“Miley had the best time with Antonia and her lovely family - they included her in everything and took her on lots of lovely long walks and outings, with plenty of great video updates. It is so reassuring to know that she is so happy and well cared for when I am away - thank you Antonia!”
“I had a fantastic experience with Angeliki looking after my dog, Darcy . She's a lively bouncy little dog with a great personality and loves lots of attention. Angeliki was brilliant with her from the start, it was clear Darcy received plenty of attention, care and playtime, which suits her perfectly, I also really appreciate the updates, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away . When Darcy was collected , she was happy , relaxed and clearly had a wonderful time, it's such a relief knowing she'd been so well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would highly recommended Angeliki to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog boarder.”
About: I’ve looked after many kind of animals but more specifically dogs. I have cared for many breeds from springer spaniels to pugs. I have also cared for gun dogs and done basic training with working dogs. I can offer a flexible schedule to meet your needs. As I do university from home I can work around my academic schedule to suit your pets needs. I care for pets in my own home using a specific structure based off the needs of the owner. Whatever the owner would like me to do I can put it into a routine to ensure their animal gets the best treatment as possible.
“Carla and Jim looked after our 6 month old puppy for the weekend and we couldn’t have been happier with the love and care our Betsy received. We had lots of pupdates with pictures and could see our fur baby was really cared for. We will definitely be using these lovely people again and would highly recommend them.”

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 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.
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 .
