“Baz made the whole process easy and stress free. He responded quickly to messages and he was flexible with drop off and pick up times. He instantly made Reggie feel at home and sent us daily photos and updates to let us know how settled he was. We can’t recommend Baz and his daughter enough and we would definitely rebook with him next time.”
“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!”
“Second stay for Bruce with Marnie & Eddie, he had a fabulous time. He’s cared for so well. Love the regular updates of what he’s been up to each day. Highly recommend!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have cared for them throughout my life, including dogs belonging to friends and family. My experience includes walking, feeding, overnight stays and looking after dogs in my home for several weeks at a time. My wife and I would love to have a dog of our own, but our current circumstances do not allow us to make that permanent commitment. Boarding gives us the opportunity to enjoy the company of different dogs while giving each one a calm, comfortable and attentive stay. We are both relaxed, patient and happy to adapt to each dog’s personality and established routine. Any dog staying with us would be treated as part of the household and given plenty of company, affection and individual attention. My main motivation is simply to spend time with dogs and give them an enjoyable stay. Any earnings I receive after Rover’s fees will be donated to Dogs Trust. I run my own business and have a great deal of flexibility in how I organise my time, while my wife is retired, so someone is always at home. I enjoy walking and would naturally organise the day around the dog, with regular toilet breaks, a morning walk and a longer walk later in the day. I am also very happy to follow the dog’s normal routine. Our home is calm, clean, spacious and dog-friendly. We live in a large flat with a covered, dog-friendly balcony and access to an approximately half-acre, fully fenced grassy outdoor area for supervised toilet breaks, fresh air and play. We only care for dogs from one household at a time, so they receive plenty of attention in a relaxed environment. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and can sleep wherever they feel most comfortable, including in our bedroom if that matches their normal routine. We will follow all feeding, exercise, sleeping and care instructions carefully. We also send regular photos and updates so owners can feel reassured throughout their dog’s stay.
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover offering full-time dog sitting and walking services. Dogs have always been a massive part of my life. I was the proud owner of three wonderful Jack Russells. We spent years going on endless adventures, long walks, and exploring the outdoors together. Sadly, they have all since passed away, but having them in my life showed me just how much joy dogs bring to every day. Losing them made me realise that working with dogs isn't just something I love doing in my spare time, it's what I want to do full-time. Coming from a Jack Russell background, I know firsthand that dogs need both physical exercise and mental stimulation! Whether your dog loves energetic countryside strolls or gentle neighborhood sniffs, I’ll match their ideal pace. I treat every dog in my care like family, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and thoroughly loved while you're away. I’d love to learn all about your dog’s personality, daily routine, and favorite things. Feel free to send me a message so we can chat or set up a Meet & Greet Because I am currently in-between jobs, caring for your dog is my top and only priority. Whether your dog thrives on an early morning trek, a mid-day leg stretch, or an evening stroll, I can completely adapt to their existing routine. I’m available to spend quality time with them throughout the day, making sure they feel relaxed and secure. Moving to a new environment can sometimes be overwhelming. I have a cozy, dedicated room set up specifically to help dogs settle in at their own pace until they feel completely confident and at ease. Our garden is completely fenced and secure, giving your dog a safe space to stretch their legs, sniff around, and enjoy some outdoor playtime with total peace of mind. Once they’re settled, they have complete freedom throughout the home! They are more than welcome to cuddle up on the furniture, lounge on the sofa, and make themselves right at home.
“From our first meet and greet with Andrew and Nicky we felt confident that our dog Amber was in safe hands. She stayed with them for 6 nights and had the best time visiting family with them, staying over in a hotel, visiting pubs and even the garden centre. Our nervousness at how she would behave as she does have some anxiety issues around other dogs did not faze Andrew and Nicky, they are extremely compassionate and caring. Amber had a wonderful time and I only wish we had found them sooner!! Thank you both!🥰”
“I have to admit, after the last attempt at leaving Maggie over night (and the state she was in the morning after) I was apprehensive about a second attempt. However...Rafael was an excellent choice. She treated Maggie like she was her own dog, going above and beyond to make sure Maggie was as happy and as stress-free as she could be. So much so, I wasn't sure she'd come back home with me and that was only after an overnighter! I'm so happy to have found Rafael and I can't recommend her enough.”
“Theo stayed with Tom and Mia for 3 nights, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care he received. They sent us lots of photos and updates throughout his stay, which was lovely and reassuring to see. Theo clearly had a fantastic time enjoying the countryside walks and taking in all the local farm life. They even took the time to brush him every day, which was especially appreciated as he was shedding quite a lot during his visit. Tom and Mia were both kind, friendly and polite throughout our conversations on the app, and it was clear that Theo was very comfortable and happy in their home. He came home completely knackered in the best possible way, and it was obvious he had thoroughly enjoyed himself. We’ll definitely be looking forward to having Tom and Mia look after Theo again. Highly recommended!”
“Dan was wonderful! Great communication from start to finish, very friendly and flexible on timings which was hugely helpful. Our dog Winston had a wonderful time and Dan kept contacted me throughout the day with updates and photos which was so thoughtful and reassuring! Would defo use Dan again - thanks!”
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.
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
“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!”
“Dora had a great overnight stay with Chelsea, Pongo and co and was so well cared for. It's clear the whole family love and understand dogs, and they were so accommodating and sent plent of photos to reassure me. I'm delighted Dora has a new dog-friend for sleepovers, and by the look of things, so is she. We will be back!”
“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 😊”
“The boys loved their time at Mollie’s. She sent lots of updates with photos of them, they looked like they very comfortable snuggled on the sofa! Would definitely recommended and hope Mollie is available next time I need someone 😊”
“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.”
“We were so lucky to find Martin and Juli to board our bouncy Labrador. I cannot recommend them enough, a home from home with a lovely family. Sammy had a wonderful time and we had daily pictures/videos and updates. We will definitely book again in the future.”
“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 🙈😂”
“Holly is an absolute star, this was my first time leaving reggie with anybody and she really put my mind at ease. Holly's apartment is lovely and I got regular picture updates and little videos to! Reggie loved playing with Alfie and he really enjoyed his stay! (Lots of treats and play time) Will definitely use Holly again in the future x”
“Honey loves her stays at Daryl’s house, so much that sometimes she doesn’t want to leave! Daryl is very kind and approachable and I have no doubt that my beloved pet is very well looked after when with Daryl. 10/10 would recommend to all my loved ones x”

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!
Would highly recommend Sean to take care of your dog. He took care of our Evee (collie, spaniel cross) as if she were his own. Loads of long walks and plenty of playing fetch with lots of photos and video clips as proof! Sean also came to our home to meet and spend time with Evee before we dropped her off. Will definitely use Sean again the next time we are away. Thanks again Sean!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Burnley on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 2,568 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Burnley. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
