“I couldn’t have wished for a nicer couple to care for our Princess. They were kind, considerate and most caring for our little girl. We felt as ease as we were sent beautiful pictures and messages regarding how Princess was doing. Thank you so much Ria and Greg as you helped us to enjoy our little break ?”
“Harry kindly agreed to looking after my pomerpoo Alfie for me whilst I was away for a short new years break. Harry provided regular updates during the stay and I was confident he was being well looked after. I could immediately tell when I picked him up that Alfie had thoroughly enjoyed his time with Harry. I have no hesitation in recommending Harry and booking Alf in again on future holidays”
About: We have been around dogs our whole lives and have been helping care for family, friends' and neighbours' pets. We understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, we treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. Elicia works from home during the day, while Jack works during the day and is home in the evenings, meaning there is usually someone available to provide care, attention and companionship. We already enjoy taking two walks each day, so regular exercise and outdoor time are part of our routine. Your dog would be treated as part of the family, with plenty of opportunities for walks, playtime, affection and relaxation throughout the day. We are committed to maintaining your pet's usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and settled while in our care. We provide a safe, caring and comfortable environment for every dog in our care. We live in a flat with access to a secure garden, giving dogs space to relax and enjoy outdoor time throughout the day. Dogs staying with us will receive at least two walks a day, alongside plenty of attention, playtime and companionship. We are happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs and will follow their normal routine to help them feel settled and secure. We will cater to your dog's feeding schedule and any specific care requirements, ensuring their needs are met while they are with us. Regular toilet breaks are provided throughout the day, and we ask that dogs are house-trained. We will send regular updates for what your doggy is up to!
“Sandra has been absolutely wonderful from day one. She was so friendly and accessible right from the initial enquiry, which instantly put me at ease. Throughout Miley’s stay, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, and that made such a difference - I always felt reassured knowing how happy and settled my dog was. It’s clear that Sandra genuinely cares, and the level of communication and attention she gives is exceptional. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended.”
About: When I was 16 I worked in a dog groomers, giving dogs baths and drying them. Then I started looking after my auntie’s dog overnight and walked him when they were away. 2 years ago I got my puppy Cooper. We have done lots of training, I love taking him out on walks we always try new places!! I am pet first aid trained. I’m currently working part time at a church with children and young people, I work in the mornings so I can do early walks, afternoon or evening as well as drop ins in the afternoon and evening. I am pet first aid training certified and your dog will. Be supervised at all time along the walks and I want your dog to feel comfortable so if I notice any distress we will go walk somewhere else.
“Hazel loved her second visit with Francesco! She loves the other dogs and has slept since getting home! Fran gave us regular updates and pictures of our baby 🙂 she is always excited to see him”
About: I’ve always had pets in my family home and we currently have 2 dogue de bordeaux’s! All of the dogs we have owned have lived with us until they passed, meaning I have experience with puppies through to seniors! As well as this, I have always had large dog breeds, the biggest being 2 Newfoundlands, so I am able to cope with many challenges our pets can throw our way. I’m a university student currently at home for the summer which makes me perfect for caring for your pets! I absolutely love getting out and about so I’d love to take your dog for a lovely new walk! I have a fenced in back garden and two loving female French Mastiffs, they’re giant teddy bears with no prior issues with other animals! If you would prefer for me to sit inside your home, I will be happy to leave my two at home as my partner will be there, do not feel like they are necessary as well! :)
“Pretzel had the most wonderful stay with Mica, Charlie, and Mollie! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in safe, loving hands. He went on great walks, had a brilliant playmate in Mollie, and came home happy. Mica and Charlie clearly treat their furry guests like family - it really was a home away from home for Pretzel. We wouldn't hesitate to book again. Highly recommended! 🐾”
“Beverley was absolutely wonderful looking after our dog, Lola. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing Lola would be in safe and caring hands. She was friendly, reliable, and went out of her way to make sure Lola was happy and well looked after. We could tell Beverly genuinely loves animals, and that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: My husband and I have been dog owners for most of our lives , we have recently retired so have plenty of time on our hands and want to open our home to welcome dogs to stay with us and our young Cavapoo, Bella. We have looked after friends and families dogs so far which has been most successful. We live in a bungalow in the Rawreth end of Rayleigh and have five foot fences surrounding our (approx) seventy x thirty foot garden. We have a dog flap which gives access to the garden, this can of course be locked upon request. We are recently retired so have plenty of time to welcome your pet dogs into our home. We are available throughout the week to offer attention and affection as well as exercise. We have a secure five foot fenced, seventy foot garden, this consists of a lawn and patio area. Our small Cavapoo will be delighted to offer company to your pooch.
About: Hi! We’re Betül, Yavuz Alp, and Freud 🐾 We moved to the UK from Turkey three years ago with our beloved dog, Freud. We were lucky enough to meet him when he was a 2-year-old stray, and he has now been part of our family for five wonderful years. Since then, he has travelled with us to many places and is at the heart of our home. We live in a house with a secure, fully fenced garden where Freud spends most of his day enjoying the outdoors. I work Monday to Thursday, 9am–5pm, in Rayleigh, while my husband works from home full-time. During the summer, you’ll usually find him working from the garden rather than his upstairs office! At weekends, we love exploring local woodland walks such as Belfairs and Hockley Woods. Weekdays are a little quieter, but the garden is always full of games, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention. We also enjoy shorter evening walks after work. Freud is a friendly, easy-going dog of around 10kg. He gets on well with dogs of a similar size and enjoys having canine company. As with many smaller dogs, he can be a little cautious around much larger breeds, so we always make introductions thoughtfully. Guest dogs are welcome throughout our home and are free to relax on the sofas or beds if that’s what they’re used to. We simply ask that they are toilet trained and comfortable living in a home environment. One of the reasons I joined Rover is that I would love to adopt another dog one day, but for now I need to prioritise my finances and health. Looking after other wonderful dogs seemed like the perfect compromise—and Freud certainly won’t complain about making new friends! If you have any questions, we’d love to hear from you. Betül, Yavuz Alp & Freud 🐶 We are living in a house with a fenced garden where Freud spends most of his day. I am working Monday to Thursday 9to5 in an office in Rayleigh. On the other hand my husband is working from home and even though he has an office upstairs his main base is garden especially in Summer. We mostly spend our weekends with a long walk in the woods around, such as Belfairs and Hockley. We are a bit lazy during weekdays but garden is full of games. We tend to have 15 to 30 minutes short walks to the shops etc after 6 pm during weekdays. Freud is friendly with the dogs his size. He can be a bit protective of himself with bigger dogs with a lot of barking and hiding behind us😂 We have a crate which is large enough for Freud to move if needed, but not preferred.
“Rebecca had our 1 year old lab for 1 week and we were so happy with the service. Rebecca communicated regularly with fab photos of Woody ❤️ We felt so at ease! Rebecca provided Woody with a true home from home experience. Nothing was a problem and we have already rebooked with Rebecca for our next trip ??”
“This is the first time we have left Suki overnight. We were obviously very concerned but Sue assured us she would be fine. Sue updated us with pictures so we could see she had settled down nicely. We would certainly recommend Sue to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog.”
“Thank you for easing Rufus into a night away from home! This was a new one for us but I could trust he was being taken care of and that really made the experience less worrisome :)”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Castle Point is £35

Couldn’t recommend Sheila any higher… 5 stars doesn’t seem enough! We have never left our two Ralph and Nellie with anyone other than family and was so worried about leaving them. They are completely spoilt and Nellie doesn’t even think she is even a dog! They have just got back from a trial overnight stay and I couldn’t feel happier with Sheila’s care. I was a wreck when I arrived at Sheila’s but she completely put my mind at rest and made everything so much easier than I thought it would be. We had messages and photos to let us know how they were getting on. I would not hesitate to recommend Sheila. We can happily book another holiday without any worries about our fur babies. Thank you so much for you care Sheila …… for me as well as Ralph and Nellie xx
Roberta was amazing! She really took the time to get to know us and the needs of our dog, including the additional medical requirements our pup currently has. Roberta was so accommodating and kind, and her own dog is absolutely lovely too. We will absolutely be using her services again.
Thank you so much for looking after Nia so wonderfully! It was really a home from home for her, with Ria and Greg taking the time to find out about Nia’s routine meaning she settled in in no time at all. Regular updates too so it was great to see all the walks and games they got up to, keeping our spritely Labrador thoroughly entertained!! Would 100% recommend.
Holly was amazing with our 12 year old pug, she was very caring and knowledgeable taking great care of him during heatwave with cool mats, vests etc, plenty of updates and pictures, we felt like Dexter was on his holiday too and we had no worries about his care. We would definitely use Holly again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Castle Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Castle Point on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of June 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 .
As of June 2026, there are 13,235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Castle Point. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your 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 .
