About: Hi there ! Since my childhood I've had and looked after many animals all shapes and sizes. I consider myself a confident and caring individual who will look after your pet and their needs. I will try my best to be flexible, and am happy to discuss any particular requirements or preferences. I do have a friendly dog aged 2 of my own, so for any stays at my home address I would require a short meet and greet to make sure they get along first. I am currently working from home the majority of the week and do have time on weekends for bigger walks or longer drop in visits. I have a large fenced back garden for your dog to be safe and play in. Additionally to the grass is a rubber pieced section too.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was born and over the last 20 years have rescued many. From pups to gorgeous oldies, the oldest we rescued was 17. All different sizes and breeds. Dogs are just a magnet to me when I see them, I love them all! I hadn't had a dog since 2023 as I just didn't think I could go through the heartbreak of losing another, after my last lab - they really are part of the family x However, in March, an elderly neighbour had to go into assisted living and couldn't take his beloved dog, so we took on Pixie! Pixie made me realise how much I have been missing out and we love her - such a gentle soul. Pixie is 11 and absolutely guttingly has cancer (and I feel dementia), so she sleeps most of the time, but is in no pain and loves to be with us. The reason for me deciding to become a dogsitter is because Pixie seems to love the company of other dogs and I thought it might be nice for her (and of course me!). Pixie would not want a dog who jumped all over her - but I think it would be lovely for us both! I work from home and have an office in the garden - so we can keep each other company! As well as the fenced garden, we also have 3 acres. We decided to downsize and live in a small but lovely lodge - cosy!! Your baby will be well looked after and I can follow any rules you have, medications needed, etc. They are quite welcome to share the sofa and bed with us (if that is what they are used to), as long as we can fit on too!! It is hard to leave your dog, I know - I've been upset to leave mine that needed it, at the groomers even! I would really want you to come and check us out first and get to know me & Pixie!
About: I’ve been around dogs and different animals my entire life, from my own pets to working on farms🐶. I’m 23 and have grown up with my own family Labradors and smaller dogs, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and needs. I’m the person my family and friends rely on to look after their pets when they’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise and, most importantly, feel happy and comfortable, as they are family members🥰. What sets me apart is that this isn’t just a job for me - I’m genuinely passionate about animals and take pride in giving every pet the care and attention they deserve and ensuring all their furry needs are met❤️ I’ve recently completed my Master’s degree in London and have moved back home for the next month or so. I currently have a very flexible schedule with no major commitments, so I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to your pets - whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company. I’m happy to work around your routine and give your furry friends the attention they need! 🐾 Your pet would be welcomed into a friendly, comfortable home where they can feel relaxed and part of the family. I have a Labrador and a small Jack Russell, both of whom are very friendly and love having other dogs around, so I’d just make sure they’re a good match beforehand. We have a fully enclosed back garden with access throughout the day, giving dogs plenty of space to roam, play and get some fresh air. There are also cosy areas around the house for relaxing, with stair gates used where needed to keep everyone safe. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection and care while they’re with me. 🐾
“Cormac (w) Ulfada LOVED his first full visit with Paulina. The care he received was first class. Thank you both, I feel happy and confident he will be in your care for many years to come.”
About: Hi I am Ellie, and I adore animals. I am kind, responsible and have been house and pet sitting almost continually for 2 years. I have regular clients and some fantastic reviews. I have a wealth of experience with looking after dogs, horses ponies and cats. I enjoy moving around and seeing different areas and being able to enjoy long walks in the beautiful countryside. I have my little friendly and well behaved cocker spaniel with me who absolutely loves coming to sits with me, he is very used to all dogs and animals of all ages and it has worked out fantastically with my little furry partner in tow. I work remotely so will be available and on hand all day to take care of everything. My usual routing is a walk before work, a lunchtime stroll and then one in the evening with anyone who is keen. I make sure to communicate with home owners and take note of all the pets needs. I am security aware and clean and tidy. I am used to looking after large homes on my own and feel completely comfortable doing this.
“This was the first time I've left my puppy with someone and Andreas really reassured me. Trixy had a fab day (she told me ?) she had lots of fun. I would not hesitate to take Trixy to Andreas again.”
“We felt instantly at ease when we first met Alex to drop off our slightly nervous 1 year old cocker spaniel (Ronnie). We had regular updates throughout the evening which helped ease our worries - he fed him and took him out on a couple walks so he could do his business. He was also very accommodating to our needs as we needed to pick Ronnie up at the unsociable time of 11pm. Would definitely use Alex again if we are in the area and need help 👌”
“Louise and family were great with Max! Great communication, nice to see some pictures of Max enjoying himself - even though we’d just booked a shorter day care visit - and you could tell Max enjoyed his time hanging out and spending time with Louise’s lovely pooch Luna too. Will definitely look to book again when we need Max looking after 🐶👏🏼”
“The perfect people, so kind friendly and generous can’t think of a better place to entrust the fur baby ! Hayley and family made art so welcome and made him part of the family for his stay, highly recommended”
“Jess was absolutely amazing with Bailey! From the moment he arrived, she made him feel so welcome and comfortable. He also got on brilliantly with her two lovely dogs, which was really nice to see and meant he had some great company while he was there. 🐶❤️ Jess kept me updated and I felt completely reassured knowing Bailey was happy, settled and being so well looked after. He clearly had a lovely time and came home happy and content. I’m so grateful to Jess for taking such good care of him, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy and experienced. We’ll definitely be booking with Jess again! 🐾💕”
“Pinar has been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Wesley, and always takes such good care of him. Their dog is lovely and Wesley loves to play with him. Wesley is now excited to be dropped off and loves to see the other dog(s). Pinar is great at sending videos and photos throughout the day of Wesley’s stay and is always very honest about how he has been (e.g. will tell me if he had an accident). They are genuinely lovely people and we always look forward to going back!”
“Kazoo had a good time with Sylvia. She was punctual, responded to messages quickly, and sent us updates throughout her stay. We also forgot her water bottle but Sylvia brought it round the next day.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Breckland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 352 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Breckland. About 86% of Breckland 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 Breckland 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 of 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.
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.
