“What a great experience- our little fluff ball had a wonderful time and we enjoyed regular updates, videos and pics. We will definitely use Tahiana again and would highly recommend, recommend, recommend!”
“Rocío is our go to dog sitter for long stays this is the second time Rocío has helped look after Moose for more than a 3 week stay now! Very grateful for he flexibility on the drop off time this time around as we had some last minute scheduling changes by the airline. Rocío gets to know the pets under her care very well, and Moose gets to make some friends during his stay! Appreciate the regular updates and ‘photos and great comfort to know Moose in good hands when we are away.”
“Suey was amazing from start to finish. Very speedy responses when setting the booking up and lots of updates on our dogs while minding them. They both looked very happy and safe. Highly recommend!”
“May took extraordinary care of our labrador Marla. We received daily updates and pictures and videos which meant we did not need to worry about Marla at all and we knew she was well taken care of. May really went the extra mile and made sure Marla had lots of fun things to do and healthy treats to enjoy. May is very knowledgeable about dogs and how to care for them. We know Marla had just the best time. Thank you!”
“Shitong had Dexter while we were away and sent us daily updates to show how much fun he was having with her! He stayed with another dog and she is so lovely. She was so friendly and sweet to our boy. He was well looked after and had a fantastic time staying with her. We highly recommend Shitong and we will be using her services again in the near future!”
“Our dog had such a fun few days with Lauren, her family and their doggy friends! Lauren sent wonderful photos and videos so we knew he was having a ball!”
About: I grow up with pets this being my own pets or family and friends. I had the responsibility of making sure they were well looked after, took them for long walks, vets appointments, giving medication, and baths. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time during the day to take care of pets and they emotional needs and physical needs. I have a nice and safe house in the city centre of Cambridge which gives me the opportunity to go in nice walks around town and plenty of green spaces.
“Basil stayed with Danuta and Mem for a week and we can honestly say he was spoilt rotten, treated like one of their own and sad to come come. They looked after him so well and never gave us even a second for concern. If you’re looking for a dog sitter look no further. We’d give more stars if we could.”
“Stella is very nice and responsible, sending me pictures and texts during the whole time. Bagel had a nice time with her and we will definitely let her to stay again for the next time! :D”
“James was great, he and his partner obviously love dogs, looked after Arlo very well and sent photos and videos. Arlo seemed really happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I will definitely use James again.”
“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 :)”
“Lola spent an amazing weekend with Nalu and Hannah. We really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout the day. Lola and Nalu had a great time together! I hope we can meet again!”
“Sam had another brilliant stay with Golnar. We could tell from the updates that he was happy and settled, and very well looked after by Golnar and her husband. Lots of play and attention and Sam's next stay is already booked in. Thank you!”
“I was a little nervous about leaving my dog over Christmas but Michaela was so lovely and really put me at ease with daily updates and photos. Jasper had a great stay and was very well looked after. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Ralf came promptly as always and quickly calmed Lizzie who was quite excited about the day ahead. Ralf kept us well informed during the day with some lovely pictures and we were delighted to find Lizzie cuddled on Ralf’s lap when we got home after a long day. She was clearly very happy- and so were we!”
“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 :)”
“Liz was brilliant. Fizzy clearly had a lovely day, and Liz sent me regular updates and pictures during the day so I could see what fun she was having! V easy to communicate with beforehand too - would certainly recommend.”

Liz was absolutely fantastic during our golden retriever staycation, she played with her and was very accommodating with our own schedule which we really appreciated!! She was also super good sending us regular updates of her and daily pictures of her play and naps so we felt at ease during our whole holiday 🫶 we will definitely book her again! Thanks a million Liz🐾
Shitong and Momo are superb borders, just shy of being a a full on puppy all-inclusive resort and spa. They pampered our little Pixie with loads of attention, exercise and catered meals. We had steady updates to calm any of our worries, and our puppy got the chance to befriend their two cats (who are adorable). We will definitely be booking with Shitong in the future.
Tahiana was great with our dog Raya. She was willing to meet for a walk a few weeks before Raya's overnight stay, which meant when we dropped Raya off she recognised Tahiana and was exited to see her. Tahiana sent photos and video updates of Raya during her stay, and I have no doubts Raya was well looked after. Will definitely use Tahiana again!
Hannah and Aaron looked after my dog for a week and I couldn’t recommend them more! As soon as I met them and Nalu, I knew Pierre was in safe hands and he had a blast. I was kept updated with photos and they took such good care of him; above and beyond! Nalu is so sweet. Very friendly household, and I would not hesitate to have them look after him again 🐶🤍
Ralf has been looking after Hettie for the last 8 days, and we couldn't be happier. This is the longest we have left her, but she settled easily and was eating as normal which tells us she was not stressed in anyway. Thanks Ralf, for the regular updates and pictures, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Sol was absolutely fantastic taking care of our miniature labradoodle! Good communication in advance; happy to meet Duffy before the planned stay; had clearly carefully thought out how she would arrange his stay; clearly knows dogs well; very friendly. Can’t fault a thing and would definitely use her services again. 5 🌟
Nova is a fantastic sitter. She arranged a meet up before we made the booking, so we could be sure that everyone was happy to go ahead. Beanie loved his time with her and she provided plenty of pictures from their adventures. Drop off and pick up is also very convenient as there is a bus stop 2 minutes away, which goes directly to the train station if you happen to be going to the airport. We will definitely be checking Nova's availability next time we need a sitter. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We had a great experience with James. He was really prompt and helpful with communication, and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay with regular photos, which was really reassuring. Our dog settled in really well and seemed very happy and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and would definitely use him again!
Ping (May) was so good with Robbie, going far and beyond anything to look after him for two nights while we were away. She sent regular updates too which was lovely. It is clear that she has a natural bond with dogs. Robbie was so calm and content when we collected him. Highly recommend.
Viv was amazing, she looked after Peppa and Farusca ( dog and cat) so well, it was the first time leaving our family pets without a familiar face and we had an unexpected situation with Peppa but Viv handled it perfectly, she kept us informed liaised with us when something was needed, we received pictures/ videos. On returning home both pets were happy and relaxed, it just felt they were home. Viv meet us prior to the booking day , we went through the routines, she was just amazing. Will definitely contact her again if needed.
Maria is a well informed, caring and extremely reliable person. She boarded Arlo (a 4-year-old cockapoo) for almost a month when we were away for our summer holiday. We met a few people off Rover before coming across Maria and the questions we were asked didn’t fill us with confidence as some of them were basic dog care ones, which would have been known by pet owners/carers. When we met Maria, her expertise was evident and, instantly, we felt confident to leave our dog with her. Our dog was well exercised and loved throughout his stay. We would be more than happy to leave our dog with her again. Thank you very much for taking a great care of Arlo. We had an amazing holiday thanks to you & knowing that he was well looked after in our absence.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Cambridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cambridge on Rover is £41.4 per night (as of September 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 .

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 .
