“Barra had a wonderful long weekend break with May - full of walks, playtime, and downtime as appropriate. She also learned some great new behaviours from May, such as how to sit at the curbside and the 'touch' tip. As a new and protective dog owner of an 8 month old, I had complete faith in May and could see how happy and well looked after Barra had been when I came to pick her up. I also learned some new skills in looking after Barra myself. May (Ping Yan L.) is a calm and compassionate person and her love of dogs and care for them shines through. I was able to enjoy my weekend away with complete peace of mind. May also sent me messages, photos and videos of how Barra was doing. I only go to Cambridge every few months but know that Barra now has a real companion there and very much look forward to booking May again.”
“Suey is a wonderful dog sitter. I received regular updates and photos during my dogs stay with her and her partner, which made me feel reassured knowing my dog was safe and well looked after. Thanks Suey!”
“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.”
“Mariana and her family were very welcoming. She provided tons of pictures while I was away and even left with a gift from her lovely daughter . The pups had such a great time and I would recommend and use her for my next vacation.”
“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 :)”
“We keep on rebooking with Stella as she and her partner take great care of our dog Astrid. She sends us updates and our dog doesn’t want to leave their place when we pick her up! Thanks both so so much 🙏”
“Our little puppy Bailey was well cared for while my family were out of town. Zhong provided great updates along the way to let us know he was doing well. Thank you again for taking in Bailey!”
About: Hi there, I had a cat called Sylvester and a black Labrador called Rocky growing up. Both lived to very old ages. I have since been a cat sitter for multiple cats, boarding at homes for different families, and a dog walker and sitter for a friend’s dog, Tovey, from when she was a puppy onwards. I work from home Wednesday-Friday and am generally at home on the weekends. If you have a dog I would take it on walks to the park and river. I have a ground floor flat with a fenced garden. With a door directly into the garden your pets can wander inside and outside while remaining in a safe environment.
About: A highly responsible and compassionate professional with 17 years of experience as a Teaching Assistant(TA) and Higher Level Teaching Assistant(HLTA), now transitioning into professional dog walking and pet sitting in my home or yours. A lifelong owner with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, amphibians and aquariums with a proven ability to manage complex behaviors, including, grooming, exercise, dietary needs and medical care. I applied advanced positive reinforcement techniques to raise and fully train a Labrador and family (Cookie who died 17) companion to a high level of obedience and socialization. Alongside many other beloved babies over these many years. There would be a tailored approach to meet the unique needs of each of your cherished pets , much like adjusting walking or sitting styles for different breeds and temperaments, physically active and capable of managing high-energy breeds in all weather. . DBS-checked, holder of a clean driving license (currently without a car), and deeply committed to the safety, exercise, and happiness of animals in my care. After 17 years working in education, of which I left to travel the world. I now do some part time retail work in Cambridge city center. This is a 0 hour basis and open to negotiation when I work. Which of course means I am available 7 days a week. Looking after your four legged friends is about fitting into your routine and theirs. I live next to the River Cam, which makes me nearby to all the local commons for your furry friends to run and have space. I also have a fenced and gated back garden for security and welfare of our fur babies. I do also own a cage should that be the way your pet is accustomed, nevertheless everything else would have to be provided by you and the way your babies are cared for is customized by how you/they like it. Unless emergency care/ last minute, I recommend/prefer a meet and greet before any decisions are made, to see how we fit.
“Max was an absolutely amazing host for our nervous dog. Him and his partner took great care of Thor and made us feel so comfortable and happy leaving him there overnight. They were really accommodating and gave lots of updates of him having a great time.”
“Jacob was great!! I'm so happy we found him. Toto came back happy,taken care off and uncertain whether he liked us more or Jacob :) He kept us updated and shared pictures. And was very accommodating to our pick and drop times.”
“This was our dog’s first stay with Ralf which he accepted at short notice and was very flexible. He is very experienced with dogs, kind and responsible. He sent us regular updates, photos and videos. Maddy loved her time with his family and we highly recommend him.”
“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.”
“I chose to take Chase to Stephen because his first question was if we can have an introductory meeting before we take him there. It was reassuring to me and the rest of my experience with him remained the same. Stephen and his family gave a loving home environment to our Chase. He was allowed to stay on the settee, got walks and got a friendly doggie company in their dog, Sam. Stephen kept me informed with messages and photos, he was transparent and told me that Chase was a little nervous initially, but then settled down so I didn’t have to worry, I knew he was in good, trustworthy hands. I will book with Stephen again when we’re going away.”
“Danuta and her family were so accommodating and kind, making sure Floki’s first night away from us was comfortable and reassuring. They went above and beyond to help him settle in and have fun. We’d be delighted for him to stay with them again — their location and flexibility made everything easy and stress-free for us.”

Right from the meet and greet session, and throughout Willow's stay with Nova, she made us feel at ease, continuously reassuring her of Willow's wellbeing and status on food, walks, cuddles through messages and photos. She patiently took time to understand Willow's personality, preferences, medications and schedule. It was amazing to see Willow settle in so easily with Nova and her partner in just under a day. Highly recommend Nova to even nervous fur parents.
Caroline and her partner were absolutely lovely and took such great care of Cooper! 🥰 He was clearly very happy and comfortable with them, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I’d happily leave Cooper with them again and would definitely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for someone kind and trustworthy to look after their pup! 🐶
Gabriela took great care of our family pug. She clearly loves dogs and has a very gentle and caring attitude. She was also extremely responsive and gave us updates with pictures twice a day! We will definitely use her services again in the future . Thank you so much Gabriela!
Roxy had a fantastic time with you over the 3day boarding! Thank you so much for providing such lovely updates and sharing how she had settled and what she has been up to. You gave us so much reassurance and thank you for taking the time to make sure Roxy has the best stay possible!
Sol was brilliant. I booked very last minute for a 7 night stay, and she was so welcoming and kind. My dog can be quite anxious in new places, but Sol handled it patiently and kept me updated throughout. He seemed so relaxed and happy when I picked him up, and it was clear he’d been well cared for. I thank you so so much! We were at ease leaving him with her :)
Patricia was a fantastic dog sitter. She was friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. Oreo warmed to her very quickly, which immediately put our minds at ease. She kept us updated throughout, so we always knew how Oreo was getting on. I'd happily recommend Patricia and would definitely book her again.
This was our first experience with Rover since relocating to the UK. Rocio was very helpful and flexible to accommodate our pups needs and was happy to have a couple of meet and greets prior to their stay. This was great as it helps all of us get comfortable with leaving them with a new person. Rocio provided lots of updates and photos during their stay and it was clear that our pups were with very happy with the arrangement. We highly recommend Rocio and we will be using her again in the future!
Thanks once again to Steve and Mel for looking after Portia over a long weekend. Although excited to see us when we picked her up, it was clear that Portia enjoyed her stay in Milton. It's good to see that she and Sam rub along well together. Not every dog is relaxed about welcoming intruders into their 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 .
