“Maddy provided an excellent service, she was extremely helpful arranging pickup and drop off of our dog Hamish and my sister's dog allowing us all to enjoy a full day at a family wedding. I would highly recommend Maddy to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”

About: My partner and I bought our new home back in March and we are so excited to open it up to lots of dog friends! We’ve been the go to dog sitters for our friends and family for years, regularly looking after dogs for anything from quick weekend trips to fortnight long stays. Everyone recommends us as we couldn’t be bigger dog lovers! We’re used to keeping routines consistent, managing different temperaments, and making sure dogs feel completely at home (in the bed and on the furniture!!) We have our own 9 year old boy, Marley, but he actually has joint custody with my parents because they aren't quite ready to let him leave home full time yet! This setup works brilliantly for hosting: if your dog is great with other pets, Marley is happy to be there, but if your dog isn't good with other animals or just needs to be on their own, Marley will happily stay at his "grandparents'" house for the duration of the booking. Your dog will have full access to our house and although we have a flat with no garden it is by the water and full open plan. Plenty of walks, endless affection, and you'll get regular photo updates while you’re away. Both my partner and I work from home with extreme flexibility. We manage our own calendars which means your dog will rarely be left alone and gets company all day long. We have complete flexibility to stick to your dog’s usual daily routine, including regular toilet breaks, play sessions, and walks around our working hours. We live in a new flat open plan flat with a safe, quiet home environment and great local walking routes right on our doorstep. Our 9 year old dog, Marley, shares joint custody with my parents, meaning we can easily host dogs who need to be the only pet in the flat by arranging for Marley to stay with them. Your dog will have full run of our home and constant care while staying with us.

Large space indoors and out provides the perfect accommodation for your pet’s needs. The neighbours also have dogs if your dog would like some socialisation.
“David was great with my dog. Has a great set up for dogs to roam in garden and explore. My dog is a bit timid but didn’t take long for her to warm up to David and his wee dog and came home happy and relaxed. Will be back!”
“Debbie was great - really calm and settled my fairly new rescue dog well. Very friendly and kept in contact so I knew how my dog was doing. Debbie really connected with my dog so I would highly recommend Debbie especially if you have a nervous dog!”
About: Growing up on a farm started my lifelong love of animals! I’ve had dogs in the house since I can remember, and all sorts of animals ranging from cows to peacocks in the garden. As an adult, I’ve house-sat, and dog walked for the last 15 years, and I now live with my partner, daughter and dog in Helensburgh before hopefully returning to the countryside one day. My partner and I are available to dog walk, house-sit and (if your furry friend gets on with our own dog and animal loving 3 year old) board your pet in our home. We have a beautiful garden for playing in, and know some great walks both locally and further afield, to give your pup the very best experience while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! Please get in touch if you have any questions or think my partner and I might be able to help! X My partner and I are self employed, so we are able to be flexible with your pet’s needs! Please get in touch if you have any specific questions or scheduling needs. We have a fenced garden, a friendly dog, and an animal loving 3 year old to give your pet all the love and attention they could possibly need. If they need a slightly slower pace, my partner or I can also look after your pet in your own home and their own space.
“Absolutely incredible, Harlee loves staying over and beth herself is such a kind person! this is the second time harlee has stayed with beth and she is definitely in trust worthy hands, definitely won’t be the last time our dog will see her:)”
“We were up from Bedfordshire for a funeral and didn't want to leave our dog behind. Rebecca met us the day before where we introduced Willow to her and Ossie. She is a lovely person and left us in no doubt that Willow would be well cared for. We had to extend the visit with her and she accommodated this without any extra charge. We don't like being apart from our Willow but should we have to book doggy day care again, it will be with Rebecca. Thanks very much!”
“It was so lovely to know LIndy was being well looked after by Vicki on Easter Day which enabled me to see my family as she is not comfortable in the close up company of my small grandchildren or my son's large and lively young dog. She is a quirky little dog and Vicki gave her 5 star attention to keep her calm!”
About: I’ve always been a big dog person and have spent lots of time looking after my friends’ Cocker Spaniels, Ralph and Rue. I’d have them stay with me for days or sometimes weeks, so I’m very used to the walks, feeding, keeping them entertained and generally having a dog follow me around everywhere! I absolutely loved having them around and still miss them, so I’d be very happy to get my dog fix by looking after some new four-legged friends. I work from home most of the time, except from a Wednesday when I go into the office. I live alone and my job involves a lot of writing so would welcome the company from a cute doggo I have a nice garden space for dogs to enjoy, and I love getting out for little walks and adventures, so there’ll be plenty of fresh air and things to sniff! your pup will have my full attention and won’t have to worry about children or a busy household. I’m happy to work around their usual routine, whether that’s lots of walks and playtime or plenty of sofa time and cuddles.
“Wilson had a lovely day with Rosie and her dog Angus while we attended a family funeral. She let me know if he had settled in straight away and he got lots of play time with Angus. He didn't want to leave her doorstep at pick up.”
About: I have taken care of a wide range of breeds from pomeranians (my own) to collies, to vislas, to crossbreeds. My home has a gated garden therefore freedom to roam outside securely! I own my own dog Winston and he gets three walks a day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. I work from home some days during the week and these days I have the back door open for the dog to roam in and out the house as he pleases. I have eyes on him at all times as my dining table is located at the back door which is beneficial. I have one friendly dog who will keep your dog company and a fenced garden. My neighbours are an elderly couple who give my dog one treat every day through the fence and they love it when I take my other neighbours dogs for the day, the more the merrier. My area has lots of nice woodland walks near by and I have a car to travel to spots in the area - dogs will ALWAYS be kept safely on the lead. Open to altering my day to fit around the specific needs of your dog. Fully insured.
About: I have had my own dogs in the past. Have experience with both small and large dogs. Also have experience raw feeding. I work from home so your pet would have me around all the time while in my care I work full time 9-5 but work from home with regular breaks to let pets out regularly if needed. Weekends are normally rather chilled. I have a very large enclosed back garden. Also have two doors (one always closed all times) so no risk of your pet escaping. I have no pets so your pet will have my full attention when in my care. I do have 12 year old child so all pets must be Oka with children
“Halle has a great time with Liam. He is friendly and calm which is exactly what Halle needs. Liam let me know throughout the day how Halle was getting on and managed her anxiety and nervousness really well. I would highly recommend Liam.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Bute on Rover is £29 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £24 and £32 per day.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalised environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-to-one attention, and same-day collection and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose 'can host' section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socialising needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters 'Doesn't own a dog' and 'Only accepts one pet at a time' to find the right care.
Many sitters on Rover can help with collection and drop-off! You can find the cost of collection and drop-off in their profile under 'See additional rates'.
If you found a day care close to your home in Bute, you can also explore dog walking as an add-on service, which allows your sitter to collect or drop off your dog from their home to yours. Add your location to the search field to find sitters near you and message them directly about transport alternatives.
Day care on Rover takes place in the sitter’s home rather than at a commercial day care facility. At a sitter’s home, your dog’s care is arranged directly with an individual sitter. Depending on the sitter, the day may include walks, play, companionship, rest and care based on the routine you agree on together.
Day care facilities generally care for dogs in a commercial space. Their staffing, dog-grouping practices and available spaces will vary by facility.
Neither option is better than the other. Your dog’s unique needs will determine whether they thrive in a home or facility-based setting.
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 .
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
