“This was Rex's second stay with Liga. He had the best time. I received so many lovely photos of videos. She took extra care to look after to dogs in the heat. Very grateful to Liga for taking such good care of Rex.”
“Heather looked after our Vizsla while we were away and she was fantastic. Our dog was treated like one of the family and heather sent loads of pictures and updates. I would definitely book Heather again”
“Our dog doesn’t cope well with change but our usual dog-sitters were unavailable when we needed someone to look after her so we could attend a family funeral. After reading her reviews I contacted Anjola and explained our predicament. She listened to our concerns and was happy for us to go and meet her and her dog before making a decision. Minty was quite reactive with Anjola’s dog and very possessive of her snacks but despite this Anjola said she was sure they’d be fine once she’d had chance to settle in. We went ahead and booked and had regular updates and photos, overall the visit went quite well. We have already recommended Anjola to our daughter.”
About: I have a 9 year old black Labrador who is the family pet and have been helping my mum with doggy day care and dog boarding for over 2 years now. We’ve looked after dogs all shapes and sizes over the years ranging from puppies to mastiffs. The dogs tend to use me for my bed and cuddles! I’m currently looking for a full time remote/hybrid job after travelling for 6 months so will have plenty of time for your pups. I’m available for dog sitting and walking every day of the week at the moment. I’m very used to looking after dogs with different needs in our house and can easily accommodate for your dogs needs in the comfort of their own home.
“Absolutely amazing sitter. Could not recommend enoough. Very caring sitter and sent lots of updates which I appreciated. Also extremely accommodating to changing circumstances”
“We left our dog Buddy for week with Rebecca while we spent a week in Cornwall, we got regular daily photos & updates that made us all feel Buddy was safe and in good hands, thank you Rebecca we will use you again.”
“Amba has had a great time staying with Stephanie and her husband for the past week. Communication was great and Stephanie sent regular updates with some lovely pics. Amba was thoroughly spoilt and I am so grateful to Stephanie for looking after my Amba so well whilst we were away.”
“Such a gem of a boarder, used Abbie for the first time recently and she instantly filled us with confidence. We have a pet whose fairly specific with her needs and Abbie was super accommodating of it all and our dog seemed to be very comfortable with her. We have already rebooked Abbie for an upcoming trip. Highly recommend!”
“Bella was so happy here and made herself at home very quickly. Definitely recommend, a very chilled and calm environment. Bella stayed for two days and enjoyed her little break away.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I was raised with 5 dogs at home, from puppies to elderly I enjoyed training, feeding and playing with them. As a teenager I’d help my friends by going to their houses to take care of their dogs and cats and take them for walks. I’m a volunteer in a woodland forest rescuing animals and creating new habitats for them, which improves my understanding of their behaviours and needs. I don’t do boarding for pets from different households at the same time so they can feel more comfortable while away from home. If your pet has any allergies, special needs, medications or a specific routine please let me know during the booking. I’m currently back home during summer break from university so if there isn’t any plans I’m free the whole week 24/7. I got a flexible schedule to be able to adjust for shifts needed I’ve got a house with a closed and fenced garden with play and have a good time. I don’t have any pets at home but I’m free the whole time to stay with your pet.
“Hayley was absolutely brilliant with my fur baby, Jio. He really enjoyed his time with her. Hayley provided me with regular photos and updates, which was really helpful as I had been feeling a little nervous about leaving him. I would not hesitate to use Hayley again.”
“We were nervous about leaving Connie with someone as it was the first time, however Sajna made the whole process very calming. Lots of pictures shared and plenty of updates to keep our minds at ease. She was also very accommodating to both Connie and our needs. When we picked Connie up it was very clear that she’d had a lovey time and was looked after very well. I’d highly recommend Sajna and will be using her again when we need someone to look after Connie.”
About: Our family has always had a furry friend by our sides - we know how important it is to spoil and love our four-legged friends. Friends and family have relied on us to nurture their pets and go on adventures with woody. I am a first year PhD student at Loughborough University. My sister (Shanti) is a final year PhD student at Loughborough, and works every Friday in-person at a private school. Our working arrangements ensure there is always someone at home. Please see our calendar for our availability for looking after and playing with your pup 🐶. As Woody is small, our spacious back garden is completely secure with no escape routes! We have multiple dog beds full of exciting toys (for various seasons and celebrations) in almost every room of the house! Woody usually sleeps on someone’s bed, or wherever takes her fancy. Pups are allowed everywhere in our home including furniture and upstairs 🐕.
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs both in my own home and in their owners’ homes. While on a gap year in Melbourne, Australia, I looked after dogs in my home while their owners were away, ensuring they felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for. More recently, I regularly care for a Cockapoo in the owner’s home while they are away, maintaining their usual routine and providing plenty of attention, walks, and companionship. I also have a lovely 10-year-old Sproodle at my family home, who I have helped care for since she was a puppy. She has given me valuable experience with the day-to-day responsibilities of owning a dog, from walks and playtime to feeding and providing lots of affection. She is very friendly and gets on well with dogs of a similar size. I genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors and love going for walks, so taking dogs out for exercise is something I look forward to rather than seeing as a chore. My aim is always to make every dog feel happy, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners complete peace of mind. I also have had cats ever since I was born so I am used to caring for them, including feeding, litter care, and providing affection. Further experience comes from my job. I work in home care, where tasks regularly involve caring for our customers’ pets, particularly cats and dogs. I am a Nursing student, however I am on break until October so work part time in home care. My hours are flexible so I can fit in visits around pet care, depending on how long they can be left alone and how much attention they require. I always aim to make pets feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible by keeping to their usual routine. Before any booking, I like to learn about their feeding schedule, walking routine, favourite toys, any medications, and anything else that helps them feel at home. In my own home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and cuddles. I never leave dogs alone for long periods and make sure they have fresh water, regular toilet breaks, and lots of company throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, keep the home tidy, and make sure pets receive the same level of care and attention they’re used to. I know how important it is for owners to feel reassured while they’re away, so I’m always happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is getting on.
“We had a great experience with Maria taking care of our potato, Rupert. She was responsible, communicative, and very loving toward him. It was clear that Rupert felt comfortable and happy with her. Maria gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”

Abbie was absolutely brilliant, this was the first time for me leaving my dog and she made it so much easier. I knew my dog was in great hands. she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos of what my dog was going and i would 100% reccoment her to anybody. I will deffinately be asking Abbie to take care of my dog again! Absolutely fantastic!! i cant thank her enough
Absolute 5-star service! Mel is amazing. She kept us completely in the loop throughout Skye’s stay with regular photo updates, which gave us total peace of mind. Her home is brilliantly set up for dogs—packed with mental stimulation, shaded spots, plenty of cozy places to chill, dog beds and blankets everywhere, walked consistently in a variety of settings, even a paddling pool! Honestly, I think Skye had a better holiday than I did. Mel is clearly an expert in dog care and training, and we couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much, Mel!
Ah the relief when you find lovely and kind dog sitters last minute! From the moment Els & Levi communicated with me via message and opened the door of their home to me I felt reassured completely my Winston would be well cared for. A calm and perfect space with a safe secure garden. He looked completely content on pick up and I can tell he is relaxed and happy which is so great to see for a dog who can be quite anxious. Thank you so much Els & Levi. I could not recommend you both more. Don’t hesitate to book <3
Emma was absolutely amazing looking after Tyson for a week! We were let down by our original sitter at the last minute, and she kindly rearranged her own appointments so she could step in. From the moment we met her, she was so lovely and welcoming, and Tyson took to her straight away. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and still full of energy—it was clear he’d been so well cared for. I would 100% recommend Emma to anyone needing dog care. She truly goes above and beyond!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Charnwood on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 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 Midlands 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 .
