“Winnie had a wonderful stay with Baz and his family. She is a nervous girl but seemed to settle really well and Baz kept me up to date with how she was getting on. We will definitely rebook 😊”
“Sophie is a life saver. She agreed to take care of my dogs as a replacement sitter for an urgent situation that happened while I am away abroad. She described my dogs as easy to handle, while I know that Russell (who is almost 17 yo) is sometimes not very easy. Sophie is patient and understands the need of a senior dog. She is a very reliable, responsible sitter. Thank you so much.”
“Our cockerpoo Lottie had a fabulous stay over with Marnie and her lovely hubby and she came back so chilled out! This was the first time we had used Rover and we could not have picked a better sitter so beginners luck I think! We had a greet n meet beforehand to make sure we were all happy and then Lottie stayed over one night whilst we had to travel to a funeral. It was an emotional trip for me so to be able to leave our precious pooch in such caring and capable hands was a real load off my mind. Lottie was soon settled in and making herself at home and Marnie was very reassuring sending me regular updates and photos and giving her great walks and lots of cuddles. I would definately recommend Marnie as a very caring boarder and we feel confident that we have found the perfect sitter for our little dog for a future break. Finding someone you can trust and feel confident with is not always easy so It's a real bonus to find such a lovely person who obviously goes the extra mile to welcome and look after your precious pooch so I am very thankful to have found such a lovely couple first time round. Thank you Marnie it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and hope to see you again soon.”
“Doug and Bobby loved their stay with Rafael! We enjoyed being kept up to date with photos and updates on how they are getting on throughout their stay. We would happily book again and recommend if you’re looking for someone to look after your pets.”
“We’ve had a Stanley stay with Rachel a couple of times now and he’s loved staying with her and her family. They really fuss over and pamper him and send us regular pics and updates which is lovely. We can highly recommend Rachel and will definitely be using her again!”
“Gino has had an absolute ball with Andrew and Nicky. He has walked miles exploring new places, visited China Town on the bus and to met all the locals. Highly recommend Andrew and nick to look after your pup. You will be reassured and content knowing your pup is not only looked after but having an adventure as well xxx”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have had dogs and cats throughout my life, including a Labrador and a Cocker Spaniel, both of whom I helped raise from puppies. I’ve also had cats of my own. Over the years, I’ve looked after lots of different dogs for friends and family, including Labradors, Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Saint Bernards and Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of very different sizes, ages and personalities. I’m also a volunteer dog walker for a local dog charity and usually spend part of most weekends walking and spending time with the dogs there. I absolutely love animals and genuinely feel happiest with a dog around the house. I’m not in a position to commit to having my own dog at the moment, which is why dog sitting suits me so well. I get to enjoy having animals around while giving someone else the reassurance that their dog is being looked after by someone who genuinely loves having them there. I work from home the vast majority of the time, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. Because I’m home most of the day, pets would have plenty of company and wouldn’t be left alone for long periods. For dogs, a typical routine would usually include: * A morning walk * Another walk around lunchtime * An evening walk, depending on their usual routine and energy levels * Plenty of attention, company and cuddles throughout the day At weekends, I often go out for walks and generally have a fairly relaxed schedule, so any pet staying with me would very much be included in whatever I’m doing. My home is calm, quiet, child-free, pet-free and smoke-free, so it’s a lovely relaxed environment for pets to settle into. I have a fully secure yard for toilet breaks, as well as a park just five minutes from my home, so it’s very easy to get outside whenever needed. I’m very happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including: * Feeding times * Walks and toilet breaks * Sleeping arrangements * Any little habits that help them feel comfortable and at home If they normally sleep on the sofa, in the bedroom or even on the bed, that’s absolutely fine with me if their owner is happy with it. My main aim is to make any pet staying with me feel safe, relaxed, loved and genuinely at home.
“I cannot thank / recommend Dylan highly enough!!! He was incredibly amenable to our needs and kept us thoroughly updated on Freddie and how he was doing. Freddie seemed to have such a good time, and our anxiety was settled by Dylan immediately on dropping him off. Would 10000% book with Dylan again - thank you !!!!!”
“Chelsea and her family looked after Olive really well. I got lots of photos whilst we were away and Olive seemed to settled very quickly. They were very attentive of her demanding chow chow ways. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again.”
About: Me and my partner Callum have both boarded dogs in our homes previously. We have both grown up with dogs and enjoy taking care of them and walking them. We are both caring, cautious and sensible and truly enjoy having the company of dogs. We have experience of smaller/medium size dogs. I am mostly available weekends but can accommodate some mid week care as my work schedule is flexible. I work Monday - Thursday so can do long weekends and short trips I have a fenced yard/garden. We love dogs with us on the furniture and are happy to follow owners routines. We are happy to keep dogs on leads whilst walking!
“Poppy had the best holiday with Carrie. She was treated like one of Carrie’s own. She got to lounge on the sofa, visit the allotments, walk off lead around the park and she even attended a dog show! Carrie provided me with updates and pictures throughout her stay. Poppy definitely had a fabulous time, thank you 😊”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover living in Higherford with my 14 year-old son, Billy. We both love spending time with dogs and treat every pet that stays with us as part of the family. We previously owned a lovely Whippet, so we understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. We currently dog sit for friends and have loved every minute of it, so we’ve decided to open our home to more furry guests through Rover. Our home has a secure garden and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for plenty of walks, fresh air, and adventures. I enjoy fell walking and keeping fit, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention, and affection. We also have our friendly tripod cat, Seth, who is used to dogs and can be kept completely separate from visiting pets if needed. I know every dog is different, so I’ll always do my best to stick to their usual routine and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐶 I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m around for most of the day to provide plenty of company, care, and regular toilet breaks. This also means I can adapt to your dog’s usual routine, whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company. Your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive lots of attention throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving home where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have front and back gardens for fresh air and outdoor time, along with a bright conservatory that’s perfect for dogs who love to relax and soak up the sunshine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog will have plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I always follow each owner’s instructions and routine to help every dog feel safe, settled, and at home
About: I have looked after a variety of dogs and my 2 fur babies are a Siberian Husky, who loves to play with other dogs and a Patterdale Terrier, who just loves to be warm and cosy under the covers! I have great areas around me for dog walking and my house and garden are fully secure. I love having cuddles with dogs and I am happy to share my bedroom or bed with dogs if they are used to this and it makes them feel more secure. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I am available at weekends to look after your fur babies starting from Friday evening to Sunday evening. I will also be available more in school holidays as I work as a teacher. I have a fenced secure garden and house. They will be treated as part of the family. I am flexible in terms of what your dog needs.
“It was the first time we've used a dog boarder, so was a little apprehensive. But there was no need, Bodi absolutely loved his stay with Mark and family (and dogs) Mark kept us updated with photos and videos, we were actually worried that Bodi wouldn't want to leave. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark and would definitely use him again.”
“Amazing sitter, I can't recommend highly enough. Kept me up to date and definitely loved them both like her own. I wouldn't hesitate booking again in the future, once she's caught her breath again 🙈😂”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Burnley is £30

I was looking for pet care for my boy Bruno at the last minute, and someone recommended Rover. While searching for someone near my home, I found Mathew, who kindly accepted my request to look after Bruno for 10 days. We had an initial meeting, and both Mathew and his wife came across as very kind and gentle. I immediately felt reassured that Bruno would be in good hands. During Bruno’s stay, Mathew regularly kept us updated and sent us lovely pictures. It was clear that they had taken great care of Bruno and made him feel comfortable and loved. When we went to pick him up, Bruno went straight to Mathew and pawed him which is Bruno’s special way of saying thank you . After coming home, I could definitely tell that Bruno missed Mathew. Thank you so much, Mathew, for taking such good care of our boy. We really appreciate everything you did for him. We will definitely look for your services again in the future and would happily recommend you to others.
It was our first time leaving our dog in the UK while on vacation. Baz is a great dog sitter with plenty of experience and a genuine love for dogs! My dog is usually quite hyperactive, and it was with 5 dogs! It's impressive how my dog stayed calm! Would definitely recommend to my friends!
We could tell straight away that Teddy had been in a loving, caring environment. Teddy had a lovely time and was really happy when we picked him up. Sophie took fantastic care of Teddy during our 10 days away and kept us reassured with periodic updates on how he was doing. Will absolutely book again & would recommend highly!

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Burnley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Burnley on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 .
