About: I’ve had pets throughout my childhood, so caring for animals has always felt natural to me. Alongside that, I have 3 years of pet sitting experience, helping with walks, feeding, check-ins, playtime, litter changes, cuddles and keeping pets calm while their humans are away. I know how scary it can feel to leave your pet with someone new. You want to know they won’t be ignored, rushed or treated like “just another booking”. That’s not how I work. I pay attention. I follow your pet’s routine, notice their mood, respect their personality and make sure they feel safe, loved and properly cared for. Some pets need play, some need patience, some need space, and some just need a kind human nearby. You’ll get clear updates and photos, and your pet will get real care, company and attention — not a quick visit with no heart behind it. I have a flexible routine and I only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet proper time and attention. I’m available for check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime and company, depending on your pet’s routine and what you need. At the moment that's my availability: •Mon to Mon •Morning - Afternoons- Evenings •Boardings full day, half day and weekends. I know it can feel scary to leave your pet with someone new, so I take trust seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors, windows and gates secure, refresh food and water, clean litter or any mess, and make sure your pet is safe before I leave. I don’t rush visits or ignore pets — I pay attention to their mood, routine and comfort. You’ll also get clear updates and photos, so you know exactly how they’re doing.
“Calvin and his partner have looked after Hutch a few times since we have moved to Cambridge earlier this year. Hutch has gone in happy and always come back home happy. They are dog lovers who know how to bond and make Hutch feel at home! We will continue to use Calvin whenever they are available as we know Hutch will be cared for as if he is theirs!”
“Gilda was amazing with our puppy Callie. We had to book her last minute for dog-sitting and she was available and very quick to respond. She has a great house and a yard. We got regular photo updates and they went on a nice walk. Callie had a great time and I was glad she behaved well! Gilda clearly loves dogs and next time I need a dog sitter in Cambridge I will call her without hesitation. Thank you Gilda! :)”
“Rocio is clearly an animal person and put my dog at ease at our meet and greet. She looked after him during my long work day and it was great to get updates and the summary at the end. Thank you”
About: I started dog and cat sitting for friends in 2020, and now have 6 years of experience. I’m patient, kind, and genuinely caring with every pet I look after. I grew up in a family with dogs, cats, and rabbits, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my whloe life. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds, especially Shiba Inus, Akitas, Golden Retrievers, Shih Tzus, German Shepherd and Bichons. I am working in hybrid with 4 days at home. I have regular hobby morning/evening run. I might run slow but I love to running with dog. If your dog is not big fans of running, we can also have a walk around to explore the big park near my home. ☀️☀️ We also have AC at home to keep the temperature in 23°C during the heatwave, so your doggy will also be stay with cool and chill during their stay. 🧊🧊 I have a fenced yard and locked garden door to make sure the safety of the dog. I am also a person with full of energy, so if your pup love to play with me in the garden I will love to.
“Highly recommend May, she went above and beyond when looking after Barney for the day. We had a meet and greet beforehand and found May to be very knowledgeable and considerate of Barneys needs. She sent lots of updates with videos and photos throughout the day which was great and made me feel very reassured that he was being well looked after. She even went so far as to teach Barney a new handy trick! Would definitely be happy to book in with May again in the future.”
About: Professional feline handler, former veterinary assistant and current kitty mom at your service! Hello, my name is Sanna and if there's one thing I'm crazy about, it's cats. I have my MSc at the Royal Veterinary College and Zoological Society of London researching animal epidemiology and welfare. Although I am a crazy-cat-lady, I love animals in all degrees of fuzziness; I also have experience with and am available to sit your dog/rabbit/ferret/tortoise/snake/chinchilla/etc. I am new to Cambridge, having just moved from London and previously Seattle, WA (USA) where I worked at the city's first cat cafe. As a Feline Guardian of the Cat Kingdom for over two years, I solely cared for 25+ cats per shift (with simultaneous medical monitoring and public education). At this position, I organised and administered adoption placements; while working there, I helped the Seattle Meowtropolitan Cat Cafe increase the city's adoption rate by 20%. I am fur-tunate to have helped rehome over 150 cats. Additionally, during my Bachelors I worked with Banfield Pet Hospital as a veterinary assistant and accordingly I am qualified for simple medical procedures. When it comes to caring for cats... you can say I've done that be-fur. Let me tell you a tail.... I have owned three cats in my life: a pair throughout childhood and my current fuzzbaby, Tobias. I rescued Tobias within three days of moving into my first apartment (I know, three days is way too long without a cat), who suffers from a variety of pre-existing medical conditions (9 total specifically) and has now officially outlived his life expectancy by four years. He has transformed into a thriving travel companion with the most radi-claw purr-sonality and by this point has likely lived in more states and countries than the average person. I am feline paw-sitive about the paw-sibility of caring for your best fur-end and flat. You must be thinking... you've got to be kitten me with these puns. I can promise my feline skills are better than my ability to tell jokes, there will be no cat-astrophies and I will move meowtains for a purr. Paw-lease consider me!
“Jacob is a great sitter and Reggie loves his visits. He gets lots of love and attention and great walks. Reggie is already excited for his week long stay with Jacob. Thank you for always being so flexible and accommodating”

“Thank you for taking very good care of Callie and Maxine ❤️ and thank you for being so flexible when it comes to pick up and deop off time. I am sure they had so much fun with the rest of the dogs as they were wiped out as soon as we got in the car. Thank you again and we’ll definitely book with you 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.
“I am so lucky to have found Manu for my Chase! I think he and Valeria provide an exceptional service without a doubt. They are happy to have my dog from early morning to late evening so I can work my long shift with a peace of mind. I know that Chase is in very good hands with them because he is wagging his tail and getting excited as soon as we are approaching their doorstep. On top of that Manu and Valeria are so nice people that I feel like I’m taking Chase to old friends. Thank you for being so lovely and caring, you are a rare find.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently own a young Pomeranian who keeps me on my toes! I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I provide loving, reliable care and will treat them as part of the family while they’re with me. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds and personalities, including puppies and adult dogs. I provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, feeding, plenty of affection, and updates for owners. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritise their safety, comfort and happiness. I work from home full-time, which means I have plenty of flexibility to provide attentive care throughout the day. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine as I care for my own Pomeranian, Coco. Whether your dog needs company, feeding, toilet breaks, playtime or a consistent routine, I can ensure they receive plenty of attention and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a lovely fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and enjoy time outdoors. Dogs staying with us enjoy at minimum of two walks per day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, alongside playtime, enrichment and lots of affection. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise and routines, ensuring every dog feels safe, comfortable and at home. My friendly Pomeranian, Coco, is well-socialised and enjoys the company of other dogs (he loved making new friends!).
“Sam and Harper are such a lovely couple and they took such great care of Darcy, I would 100% recommend them! They kept in touch with me through the day and gave me updates, they were also very flexible with me when I wanted to pick her up early, so thank you for that! They were great with our medium energy young/adolescent dog and she was clearly happy when I picked her up, to the point she was whining when they walked away from the car! THanks so much <3”
“Giselle was absolutely fantastic with Stella. Stella has quite a nervous disposition, but she took to Giselle straight away, she engaged great with her and updated us on how she was doing. Stella settled in great, far faster than I expected her too which was so reassuring to see. I would definitely recommend and will be booking with Giselle again in the future!”
About: I have loved dogs and cats (and all the other animals!) since I was a kid, as I grew up on a small farm. I always enjoyed their company, and they seem to enjoy mine ☺️ I had a black lab called Brian in my adult years and a cat called Simba. My heart broke to pieces twice when I lost them. I have always been actively seeking dog and cat sitting opportunities, especially before and after Brian. My longest dog sitting was nearly 6 months long, and I still go to visit him whenever I can as we have formed a lovely bond. I currently work for a company producing smart devices as well as other products for dogs (soon cats, too!), so I am very familiar with the dog & cat world and their welfare is very important to me (as well as all the other animals!). I work full time in a 9-5 office role, but I am based mostly from home and generally have a good degree of flexibility throughout the week, with the occasional exception when I need to be in the office or attend meetings elsewhere. This means I can usually fit pet care easily around my schedule. For dogs, I can provide walks before work, during my lunch break, and again after work, as well as plenty of companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily walks and quality time with pets fit naturally into my routine. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, cared for, and relaxed while their owners are away. I usually care for pets in their own home, as I find they are happiest and most comfortable in familiar surroundings. For dogs in particular, this almost always means that I stay in the owner’s home so they can keep their usual routine and enjoy the comforts they are used to. I am happy to discuss having a dog stay in my home if needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always look after both pets and homes with care, respect, and attention to detail.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Cambridge
I left my 2 dogs Luca & Oscar with Ecehan for 4 days last week my dogs loved staying with her. She was absolutely brilliant in accommodating my eradicate times and If I could I would give more than 5 stars, my boys will going back in the future so that recommendation on its own .
Dora seemed very happy when we went to collect her after her day's stay with La Sol E who seems genuinely fond of dogs. Dora is still a puppy of 9 months and so extremely lively (and also having her first season) but La Sol E. seemed unphased and we shall be very happy to ask her to look after Dora again.
Jacob was brilliant with Whiskey and looked after her like she was his own. She was really happy when I picked her up, and I could tell she'd been well looked after. It's clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. I'd happily leave Whiskey with him again and would definitely recommend him.
We found Maria through Rover.com when we came to Cambridge for a graduation ceremony.We needed day care in a new place as a matter of urgency. Maria was so lovely with Hazel all through.We felt safe leaving her with Maria though it was the first time she had met our dog.We receive picture updates regularly.I would recommend her gladly and hope to book with Maria again.
May is amazing! Kuma really loved her! She is a great dog trainer and she kept us updated all day with messages and picture! I really recommend her, she is very well experienced with dogs and she knows well how to deal with an energetic puppy like kuma! We have already booked her for future day care since we really trust her to take care of our kuma
Giselle was absolutely fantastic with Stella. Stella has quite a nervous disposition, but she took to Giselle straight away, she engaged great with her and updated us on how she was doing. Stella settled in great, far faster than I expected her too which was so reassuring to see. I would definitely recommend and will be booking with Giselle again in the future!
Thank you Danuta for taking care of our little ones quite last minute. They seem thoroughly loved 🥰. Thank you for sending pictures regularly and keeping us posted. Sherlock and Lily seemed really comfortable even though it was their first time. They would love to see you and Ivy soon.
Ella did a fantastic job looking after Daisy – we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was Daisy’s first time with a dog sitter, so we were naturally a bit nervous, but with Ella it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. We really appreciated the regular updates and all the lovely photos throughout the day – it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled Daisy was. It made such a difference knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ella and will definitely be booking again!
Dora's stay for the day with Franklin seems to have gone very well. She certainly seemed to have enjoyed the walks and the play in the garden - so much so that she actually ate all the food I had left for her lunch - a good sign as she is a very 'reluctant' eater at the moment - possibly due to the arrival of new teeth. With thanks to Franklin & family for looking after her so well.
We were delighted to learn from Steve and Mel that Portia had settled well on this, her first visit to what is, very obviously, a dog-friendly home. She appears to have got on well with Sam, a lovely cockerpoo boy, and had behaved well both in the house and on the 2 walks that she had been taken on. We hope that Steve and Mel will be happy to have her back again. Thank you!
Can’t recommend Nicoli enough to look after your pup. She was so great at our meet and greet, her flat was well dog-proofed, and it was clear that she’s an experienced sitter, so I felt at ease leaving Dennis with her. She was accomodating with our early drop off time and sent photos throughout the day - Dennis definitely had the right mix of play and chill. He was in a great mood when I collected him. We are gutted that Nicoli is moving away as we would have definitely rebooked. Thanks again 😇

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cambridge on Rover is £32.2 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 1,073 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Cambridge. About 85% of Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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 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.
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 .
