“Suey looked after Omi for 5 days and we were very happy with the care he received. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we received regular updates and photos which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Omi seemed happy, comfortable, and well looked after when we collected him. It was clear that he had been treated with care and attention, and we appreciated the effort Suey put into making sure he settled in. We would happily use Suey’s services again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of Omi!”
“May has watched Paavo couple times now, always with consistent and detailed updates of how he's doing on the day. I feel very comfortable leaving my senior dog with her knowing he is well taken care of.”
“Rocio took great care of our dog during an overnight stay. She has a big backyard and plenty of toys to keep the dogs entertained. Our dog instantly took a liking to her and was very reluctant to come back home ?”
“Absolutely everything you would wish for from someone looking after your dog. Thank you, Julia! Kind and reliable, understanding about Gus’s quirks, plus easy to arrange the plan with. Hopefully see again you soon :)”
“Rachel and Ben were lovely, we had a meet and greet before and they were very flexible with my schedule. Both dogs came back so relaxed and chilled that I might just book myself in! Would highly recommend - my cocker spaniel is very high energy, and my Older dog a grump, so not an easy mix, but they’re booked in again so can’t have been too bad! Thank you so much.both of you 😊”
“Bibiana is a fantastic dog sitter! She is very professional and loves animals. She took great care of my little dachshund during the Christmas holidays, and my dog was very happy. I recommend Bibiana to anyone looking for a kind and reliable dog sitter.”
“Erin and Andrea did an excellent job of looking after our little pug Peanut whilst we were on holiday. Andrea sent regular updates with photos and videos throughout the week and Peanut had a great time on walks, playing games and hanging out with Püs their pug. Erin and Andrea were also helpful and flexible about pick up and drop off times despite us having to change these last minute due to delays with our flights and trains. Thank you both for everything - we would whole heartedly recommend them :)”
“Gareth is our go to dog sitter for Sabrina. He is always kind and welcoming and she has a wonderful time there! Sabrina always comes back happy and sometimes reluctant to even leave. We would highly recommend Gareth.”
“Stella and her partner looked after and cared for Luna very well. We had regular photos and updates which put our minds at rest.she seemed very happy when we picked her up and seemed like she was going to be missed.Would happy to leave Luna again.”
About: I'm an experienced dog and cat sitter. I grew up taking care of my cats and my family's dog which taught me how to properly look after them and make sure that they feel loved! I moved to Cambridge in 2023 and since then I have pet sit (both cats and dogs) for several people, and I'd love to care for your furry friend too! . If you chose me to look after your pet, I'll provide pictures and updates, as I know how stressful being away from them can be. Whether you're going away and need someone to care for your pet for a few days, or you just need my services as a dog walker, I'd be happy to have the opportunity to be the one to care for them. Taking care of animals brings me genuine joy and I assure you that your pet will be treated with lots of love! I have recently finished my sixth form studies so I'll be completely free to take care of your pets for the time being. However, during the moth of May I'll be only available to walk dogs or provide drop-in visits. On the days 17, 18 and 19 I'll also be able to provide doggy day care (1 day). Starting June, I'll be able to dog and cat sit normally. I live on a lovely flat that I only share with my mother. It has enough space for a small or medium dog or a cat to be happy and comfortable and live peacefully without disruption. We also have access to a private garden and there are several parks nearby that are perfect for walks.
“Our German Shepherd was in Ecehan care for 21 days and nothing could be better, our puppy had a brilliant time. She demonstrate so much love and attention with Linda. Definitely we will book again.”
“Our little Bella had a lovely time staying with Lauren. She came back very happy and tired. Clearly a lot of fun was had! Lauren is very warm and friendly. It’s very obvious that she loves her furry guests! Will use Lauren’s services again for future stays.”
“Zhong took good care of my dog, keeping me updated regularly with photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Mocha was taken on walks, and seemed very happy in their care.”
“I am so grateful to Patricia and her lovely family for taking such great care of Button, my 17year old Jack Russell. Because of his age he has some problems. Patricia listened, understood and kept my dog very happy. She was so caring and so loving to him. When I picked him up after over a week he was calm, his fur felt so soft and he was very content. Absolutely would recommend her and her family to take care of your pet. Alex J”
“Ralf was a great sitter, and very patient with our 1-year-old chihuahua mix who turned out not to be as housebroken at Ralf's house as he is at home. Ralf was also very flexible on the pick up time which kept moving back as we were trying to leave Napa. Great sitter!!”
“This was Digbys first stay with Stephen and it all went really well. Initially Digby was a bit anxious and unsettled but soon settled in and Stephen kept me well informed and updated. Digby really enjoyed the company of Stephen’s Cockerpoo Sam. I felt reassured throughout that Digby was in safe hands and I’m sure I’ll be booking him again soon.”
“Alice was absolutely wonderful! She was very quick to respond to all messages, and even accepted our last minute boarding request. Our dog can be a little nervous and shy, but she warmed up to Alice very quickly. Alice also sent lots of photos and videos, which was very much appreciated.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Cambridge is £35

This was the first time we have left Lola with anyone and we’re very nervous about doing it but Jacob really made us feel at ease. We received regular updates and photos on Lola and this helped to put our minds at rest. I would recommend Jacob to anyone looking for a dog sitter. He was brilliant - we will be using him again.
This was our first time leaving Nesta with someone else. Giselle put my husband and I at ease immediately. Our dog is not the friendliest of dogs and we were worried about how he would behave. Giselle sent us many updates and Nesta seemed to be behaving himself - apart from rolling over in poo twice! Giselle handled the situation well and it must have been very unpleasant for her. Otherwise, we were very pleased with his placement and we have already booked Giselle again for the near future.
Forest can be quite demanding, not just in terms of his need to play ball, but for much love and affection. Maria and her daughter were more than up to the task. They took care of Forest, even during the hottest week of the year this far. When I picked him up, he was happy to see me, but he looked happy and well cared for. Zero doubts on rebooking with Maria. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.
May has been amazing all the way. What a gem! She's incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and we were super happy with her. She gave us updates with photo and video and had worked out a great routine with our doggy Reed. We had great peace of mind knowing she was taking such great care of our dog. She continued training with him and made great progress teaching him new skills with her knowledge having trained a therapy dog. She also shared tips for us to continue reinforcing his training which were really helpful! Highly recommend.
I have an elderly dog with multiple health issues and a complex medication regime. For this reason she cannot be left alone for long and I was very anxious about leaving her. I need not have worried. She had a fantastic week with Erin and Andrea. After her first trial visit, as soon as she saw there street, she was pulling to get to their door - very excited. Erin and Andrea made additional notes to mine and coped with the routine without a hitch. They contacted me during the trial nights to ensure they had fully understood, and for clarification on something I had overlooked. It was lovely to receive their updates and be able to see that my dog was loving doing her usual things. And I was able to relax knowing my dog was in capable and caring hands. I cannot recommend this couple more highly.
Danuta and her family took brilliant care of Phoebe. She sent us regular updates, including photos and videos, which made us feel very reassured that Phoebe was receiving excellent care and enjoying her stay with them. We will definitely bring our dog back again if we ever need to leave her in someone else's care. Highly recommended!
Kat did a wonderful job caring for our labradoodle, Otto! She is a dog lover and very knowledgeable about dog care and dog behavior. We met Kat twice before deciding on using her services. On the day of pickup , Otto greeted Kat like she was a long lost friend with multiple kisses! We were very reassured about leaving Otto with Kat after that greeting. Communication was excellent between us and Kat. Kat was flexible in addressing Otto's needs. She was very careful with Otto's daily routine during the recent hot spell in the UK. Otto returned to us happy ,and in wonderful shape . I am sure he will be excited to see Kat and her dog CJ again on his next visit. Thanks Kat!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Cambridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,086 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cambridge. 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 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.
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 .
