“Romina was very flexible and understanding when I booked a last minute day care for my miniature dachshund. She loved watching my dog, who seemed entertained and happy on the pictures and videos she sent me during the daycare. Romina was very responsive and took great care of my dog. Definitely recommend.”
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.
“Virag was terrific! She looked after my dog (miniature dachshund) for the day. She arrived promptly as arranged and Biggles quickly took to her (despite always being wary of strangers at first). She sent lots of videos and photos of Biggles clearly having a terrific day and dropped him off late as we’d requested. Will definitely book with her again, would recommend Virag for any pet sitting or dog walking.”

“Gilda is fantastic, a loving and attentive dog sitter who really enjoys dogs and their individual personalities. Kona loved his visits with Gilda and could not wait to go back. She is also conveniently located if you happen to be out and about in Cambridge without a car. We appreciated her flexibility and the joy with which she approached each visit. Highly recommend.”
“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.”

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.
“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.”
“We asked Giselle for day care for 2 consecutive days at short notice and she was more than happy yo help. Our dog had never stayed at another persons house before and can also be anxious but this didn't phase Giselle. She was welcoming and happy to meet our dog, Maple and asked questions about her care before I left. Maplee didnt show any signs of anxiety or being frighted at being lwft with someone she didnt know. When we went to collect Maple on the first day, she clearly had a brilliant day and was reluctant to leave. When we returned on the second day, Maple was straight out the car and clearly very impatient to get back into Giselle's home. They clearly had fun on the second day as Maple was reluctant to leave the garden and clearly had no thoughts of wanting to leave. Would definitely ask Giselle to care for Maple again in the future. Thank you for being such a caring person Giselle and allowing us to have a great weekend.”
“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.”

“I recently sent my lovely Samoyed to Harper and Zhong for daycare. From the time BaoBao arrived at their home, they frequently updated me with photos and videos. They were very very kind and patient with BaoBao. BaoBao had diarrhea that day, and after I asked for their advice, they still offered to take care of my dog for a day. They patiently cleaned her hair every time she had loose bowels and kept updating me on my dog. BaoBao looked so happy when I picked her up, they had a very nice day together! A huge thank to them and will definitely send my dog to them for daycare again soon!☺️☺️”

Romina was very flexible and understanding when I booked a last minute day care for my miniature dachshund.

Cooper had such a lovely day with Kate! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which I really appreciated. He had a great time playing with her puppy, Moon, and it was so nice to see how well they got on. It was clear he was very well looked after and had lots of fun. I’d happily leave Cooper with Kate again and would definitely recommend her!
Gilda is fantastic, a loving and attentive dog sitter who really enjoys dogs and their individual personalities. Kona loved his visits with Gilda and could not wait to go back. She is also conveniently located if you happen to be out and about in Cambridge without a car. We appreciated her flexibility and the joy with which she approached each visit. Highly recommend.
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cambridge on Rover is £32.2 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,084 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Cambridge. About 86% 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 .
