“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!”
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.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our home was never without one, from a bouncy Poodle to a loyal German Shepherd, a gentle Bernese Mountain Dog, and a spirited Airedale Terrier. Each one left a paw print on my heart. Over my years in Cambridge, I've built up experience in dog walking and sitting, and have a particular soft spot for both puppies and senior dogs, I love them at every stage of life. I woke up around 8am and I have a big garden where the cat/dog can be. I mostly work from home so the cat/dog can be by my side most of the day. If it is a dog, I am happy to take him/her for walks 3 times per day, as it is also good for my mental health. If they are well behaved they can even go to the office with me, if needed, as my office is pet friendly. I like to give lots of love to animals and I am very playful. As I have an ensuite room they can sleep with me and can have always water in a ball for them and fresh food in the kitchen. The house is very big so they have space for playing and relax. We also have a big and sunny fenced garden
“At short notice, I was able to book Ping Yan to look after our dog three times over half term for a full day. She was very professional, friendly and caring and I felt 100% confidence in her. She kept contact throughout the day sending videos and information about how our dog was doing, which was great. On the first day, we were stuck in London and got back much later than we had initially anticipated. Ping Yan was very understanding and kept telling us not to worry as we waited on delayed trains to get back to Cambridge. She made us feel very reassured which really helped. I can’t imagine that anyone would be anything but overjoyed at the way Ping looks after dogs so you have nothing to worry about with her. She was also very punctual whenever I texted her to say that we’d be downstairs in a few minutes to meet her.”
“Bella had a fantastic day with Rocio - I got great photo updates as Bella went sightseeing around Cambridge 😊 I’d definitely recommend Rocio, I really felt like Bella was in safe hands - thank you! 💕”
“Jacob was absolutely outstanding and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. From the moment he picked Max up, he kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. He was calm, patient, and incredibly attentive to Max’s needs, especially when handling walks and unexpected situations with other dogs. It was clear that Jacob genuinely cared about Max’s wellbeing and comfort at all times. Max settled in beautifully with him, behaved wonderfully, and came home relaxed and happy. I’m so grateful for the care and honesty Jacob showed throughout the booking – I would 100% book him again without hesitation. 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 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.

“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.”
“Gilda was amazing! So great with our dogs. They has such a nice time and Gilda stayed in contact throughout their time with her. Thanks so much! We will definitely ask her to dog sit 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.
“Sophia is brilliant with Nero. He can be quite anxious but she took the time to make him feel settled, going on nice long walks and getting lots of love and attention. He has been to her twice now, and gets very excited going there 😀 I would highly recommend Sophia and will definitely be using her again (in fact I have just booked!)”
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!).
“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: 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.
“Another great couple of days for Louis with Gareth. Louis is extremely happy and settled there. Gareth is always so very welcoming and keeps us regularly updated during the day. Thankyou so much.”
“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”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Cambridge
I left my 3-month-old puppy with Ecehan for the first time, and naturally I was quite anxious about leaving him with someone else. I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ecehan was absolutely wonderful with Cooper. She kept me updated throughout the day with plenty of photos and videos, and it was clear he was having an amazing time. She was incredibly patient with all of my questions and reassured me whenever I was worried. It’s obvious that she is very experienced and genuinely loves what she does. Cooper came home happy and relaxed, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again. I highly recommend Ecehan to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter—I’m sure she’ll become your pup’s new best friend!
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.
I felt super comfortable leaving Dennis with Gilda. She was very caring and attentive, has a great garden for him to play, and he got lots of activity and cuddles. We got photos and videos througout and he had a great time. Would highly recommend and we will definitely book again !
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 😇

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Cambridge
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 .
