My dogs went for a day stay with Holly. She took their individual needs and personalities in to consideration and they seemed to have had a lovely time. They were settled when I collected them and Holly sent me some nice updates / photos during there stay.

I had a fantastic experience with these dog sitters! They took such great care of Alfie, kept me updated throughout, and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly well looked after and happy. Reliable, friendly, and clearly love what they do. I’ll definitely be using them again!

About: Passionate about animals, especially cats and had cats since childhood, including Tennant, my current cat, named after a Doctor Who actor as I am a geek. In addition, done Animal Care Nursing assistant L2. Other hobbies are doing my freelance art work, gaming and going comic cons and geeky meet ups. Has recently got a DBS as helps out at a local Cub Scout group. I have had a dog previously for 5 years but due to my living situation, unable to get a dog. I am able to pick up their poo, give them play, give them adequate walks, administer meds and even bathe them. Best result is to give me instructions on paper. No current employment, other than freelance artist and volunteering with Cubs. Has a cat of my own. Able most days but would prefer to book in week advance. I sadly can’t let dogs and other animals stay at my place due to my tenant’s agreement. The safety I need to raise is, I can definitely accommodate for those with additional needs, including neurodivergence (autism, ADHD) and I am neurodivergent myself. Will ask you questions about the health and safety for best outcome for your pet and myself.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs, looked after family member’s dogs, and last year I got my Cavapoo, Milo, who I trained from being a puppy. I’m currently freelancing part-time, and work 100% from home. I have a 1 year old Cavapoo, so playtime, walks, and pet care are a normal part of my day! I have a safe, fenced garden for your dog to run around in, and I have plenty of dog toys for them to play with. I have a medium-sized crate if needed, and I live by a nature reserve if you’d like me to walk your dog.

As always our little anxious doggy has returned happy, tired and relaxed.

If there's any doubt in instructions, Lin always checks as the list important thing is our fur baby's wellbeing. We feel so blessed to have found Lin, who we trust with our little furry boy, for a day or a full holiday, we know he'll be thoroughly cared for.

Andreia is absolutely wonderful! She looked after our dog, Toby, with so much care, attention, and affection. When we picked him up, it was like watching two old friends sitting together watching the sunset 🌅 they clearly bonded so well. You can instantly tell that Andreia is a genuine animal lover. She’s kind, trustworthy, and someone you can feel completely confident leaving your pet with. We’re so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!

About: I have both had dogs since our childhood, and currently have two friendly cocker spaniels. All my dog experience has been from pups, I even acted as midwife for my next door neighbours bitch giving birth 3 years ago! My location has a large country park at the end of the street, and woodland behind me which I manage as a volunteer warden. I have a dog friendly rear garden and my cockers love drinking from the barrel water feature. I have very tolerant pets and they happily engage with other visiting dogs,and a previous neighbours cat. I have an engaging daily routine for them, so much so I'm convinced my dogs can tell the time, when their next activity is due. I am a stay at home foster-dad, and my wife works, sometimes from home. I volunteer in my local community woodlands, and other institutions throughout the day but I estimate our dogs are not at home for more than 3 hours alone. Apart from a clean and secure rear garden, my home is partitioned in such a way that a scared visitor could have seclusion if required. I do have a crate in the kitchen, and my dogs use it for privacy/ sleep ( door open). If your dog would be anxious at night, then I can keep my dogs upstairs with me or they can remain in the kitchen to keep their visitor company. Whichever works.

I also respect the owner's home, keeping it tidy and ensuring pets are safe at all times.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with dogs, cats and rabbits in the home. Since buying my first home, I now have two cats and a rabbit of my own, and I regularly look after my parents’ cockapoos and five cats when they go away. I’ve also cared for friends’ retrievers and have experience with a wide range of cat breeds and temperaments, including Ragamuffins, Birmans and Ragdolls as well as some gorgeous fun loving moggies :) I offer a calm, loving, cosy home environment with a large secure garden where dogs can safely run around and play. Visiting dogs are treated like part of the family and can make themselves comfortable around the house, whether they enjoy sofa cuddles, quiet time or garden zoomies. I can't wait to have a dog of my own in the future! I’m patient, reliable and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding instructions, walks, playtime, medication where needed (having owned a disabled cat previously that required medication) and regular updates for owners. As I have my own cats and rabbit, they can be kept separate from visiting dogs and cats if needed, so everyone feels safe and settled. I'm 28 years old and currently a Masters student completing my dissertation so I will be at home all the time and I live with my partner who's a high-school teacher. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and so I promise to care for them with kindness, attention and genuine love until you return to them. Ready to accept boarders, stay at your home wiht pets and offer dog walking if its close to my home. My current routine is ideal for pet care, as I’m home most of the week and love having animals around while I study. I’m currently at home throughout the week while completing my Master’s dissertation, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to give pets plenty of time, attention and company during the day. Because I’m home-based at the moment, your pet wouldn’t be left for long periods, and I can easily work around their usual routine — whether that includes feeding times, walks, playtime, garden breaks, medication, cuddles or quiet time. I also really enjoy getting out for local walks, so having a dog to care for fits perfectly with my lifestyle. I’m happy to build walks into the day depending on your dog’s energy levels and needs, whether they prefer a gentle stroll or something a little more active. If I go to the gym, I usually go very early in the morning around 5:30–6:00am, so it doesn’t take away from the time I can dedicate to looking after your pet but I can work this around the dog/cats routine. Overall, my routine is calm, flexible and home-based, which means I can offer a reliable and attentive environment for your animal while they’re in my care. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, settled and loved, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting theirs. In my own home, I offer a calm, welcoming environment where pets can settle in at their own pace and be treated like part of the family. I have a large secure garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air, playtime and toilet breaks safely. Inside the house, pets are welcome to make themselves comfortable, whether they prefer being close by, relaxing in a quiet spot, or having space to themselves. I always follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding instructions, walks, medication, sleep arrangements and any specific rules or preferences from their owner. Because I have two cats and a rabbit of my own, I’m very mindful of introductions, boundaries and keeping animals safe. My own pets can be kept separate from visiting pets if needed, and I would always discuss this with owners beforehand to make sure the arrangement is suitable for everyone. I’m also happy to care for one or two dogs/cats at a time if needed or just look after one if that helps your pet feel more settled and gives you extra peace of mind. I take time to understand each animal’s personality, behaviour and needs before a booking, including how they are with other animals, whether they have any anxieties, allergies, medical needs or triggers, and what helps them feel calm. I believe in gentle, patient care and would never force interaction or rush a pet who needs time to adjust. Happy to have a call or meeting beforehand if that makes you feel more comfortable. If I’m caring for pets in an owner’s home, I treat the home with the same respect and care I would expect in my own. I’ll make sure pets are fed, checked, comforted and cared for properly, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pet is happy and well looked after.

About: I adopted my first dog at 14. He's now living the life with my mom abroad, but caring for him for so many years gave me invaluable experience and a deep connection with animals. I've also had the joy of dog sitting for friends and family, always ensuring their pets felt loved, safe, and happy. While I can’t have a pet in my current living space, being a pet sitter allows me to share my love for animals by providing top-quality care for your furry family members. I work full time as a people and wellbeing advisor so I am mainly available in the mornings or afternoons. I am always free on weekends. I work from home 4 days a week so I would be free for check in visits during the day. I am currently unable to dog sit at home due to request from my landlord. Hoping I can relocate soon so that I can look after pets at home too

Anthony was brilliant with my Chuchi, it was the first time for my Chuchi to be with some one she does not know and I was concerned, but Anthony sent me updates through out the day, he took her for a walk and send me images and videos of her while walking, eating and when she was resting on the couch, that really put me in each while working away. When I collected Chuchi in the evening she was so comfortable with Anthony and I could tell she was well settled and appeared so close to Anthony. Highly recommended and I will definitely be using his services again.

Ryan and Colleen were amazing and so reassuring whilst we were away on holiday. They updated us daily with photos and videos and they went over and above to take care of our two very different dogs, Finn and Piper. One of our dogs is awaiting surgery and Ryan and Colleen took them both on separate walks to cater to their individual needs. We felt so reassured the entire time. Thank you both so much, we trust you more than anyone who has looked after them before.

Freddy has absolutely loved his time with Holly and her family for the 3rd time. This time it wasn’t an over night stay it was a daycare whilst we went to my daughter’s graduation. I didn’t have to worry about him at all because the family care for him as if he was their own dog. The thing I love about Holly and her family is that they are so honest and let you know if your pet hasn’t settled and what they are doing to settle them then she messages again to say when they are settled. Even though Freddy was only there for the day Holly messaged throughout the day and even sent a picture. Thank you so so much Holly and family. Freddy will be back very soon xx

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bury

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bury on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 2,620 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Bury. About 87% of Bury 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 Bury 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 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.

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 .
