“I couldn’t have found a better board for Loki. From our meet and greet until I collected him I knew Kate was such a lovely carer for him. He was so loved and looked after and the regular updates were so reassuring that he was having the best time! It can be daunting to leave a loved doggie but Kate made us both feel so welcome and Loki was made to feel like one of the family. I hope I can find another opportunity for Loki to visit Kate and her lovely family xx”
“Leah looked after Ruby really well. She took her for daily walks and provided daily updates on how Ruby was doing. I have never seen my dog so content after being away for a few days. I would definitely use her 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.”
“Liga has taken great care of my dog on his first overnight stay. I really appreciated the photos and videos she sent of him having a ball with his new buddies. He’s been treated as one of the family. Thank you Liga!”
“I was struggling for dog care as my original dog care had cancelled on me last minute. I contacted jade and she was very quick and efficient on getting Rodney booked in and was happy to rearrange her days to accommodate Rodney for the 4 nights. I was anxious at first leaving Rodney with someone I hadn’t before but Jade was so good and reassuring right from the off and within 5 minutes of introducing Jade to Rodney I felt so reassured. She listened and made a list of everything me and Rodney do and his needs and wants. She sent me so many photos and videos every day and updated me even when I didn’t ask which was amazing so I could go away enjoy myself and knew Rodney was being well cared for. I collected Rodney and he didn’t want to leave when I came to collect him which is a reflection of the amazing care and fuss he had received. It was like Rodney was Jades own dog and she said how she loved having him. Going forward I will be definitely using Jades dog care service again and I’m sure Rodney will be excited at the thought of this as well. Keep up the good work jade from me and my Rods and thank you so much again ❤️!”
“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 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.
“Fab experience! Great communication throughout, with lovely picture updates that gave me real peace of mind. She got on so well with Marnie, and it was so nice knowing she was being so well looked after. Would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
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 🐕.
“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.”
“Chris and Venetia are wonderful doggy hosts. They were very accommodating and my two frenchies were in great, safe hands whilst we were away. Excellent photo skills too. Thanks so much both, we'll definitely be back.”
“Richard and Bee took great care of Oscar for 5 nights. I received daily updates and photographs and felt reassured that Oscar was being well cared for and loved. Oscar is full of personality and has some very odd and crazy habits, but I felt relaxed in the knowledge that Richard and Bee were enjoying his quirky personality. I would definitely ask Richard and Bee to look after Oscar in the future! Thank you both. ☺️”
“George looked after Pepper wonderfully well. He sent us much appreciated updates, including photos and we were very happy with the care he provided. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to other owners.”
“Can't rate Polly highly enough, Billy was looked after and loved. He was happy, we felt that the minute we arrived to pick him up. Thank you so much Polly for looking after and caring for our baby.”
“Thoroughly pleased with the service provided by Jamie and his family. He was pleasant to deal with and looked after our dog professionally. Kept us updated with right amount of information. Would 100% recommend him and hope to use again in the future.”
“Victoria did a fantastic job looking after coco . He is being very well cared for and he seems very calm and happy when we picked him after our holiday . I will be using Victoria services again and highly recommend her .”
“We couldn’t be any happier how Dudley was very well taken care of and in very safe hands with Hayley. We had constant updates and photos of how Dudley was getting on throughout his weeks stay. Multiple daily walks, lots of love and attention along with plenty of belly rubs ….Dudley had a great time! Would thoroughly recommend Hayley as we fully trust her expertise and service. Our first time and now we feel 100% secure to use again for future visits!”
“Heather and her lovely family took wonderful care of Oreo whilst we were away, Oreo was relatively new to my family and has some challenges that we were still discovering, because of this I wanted to ensure we were open and honest about how he might be, nothing was an issues for Heather and due to her experience with her own animals and how caring and understanding she came across it was the best decision we made! We received photos of Oreo's exploring and playing and to be honest I don't think he wanted to leave when we came to pick him up! Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease and taking such wonderful care of Oreo! I would 100% recommend!!”
“It was my first time using the app and I couldn’t be happier. I had lots of updates and was able to relax and felt they were really having the best time. Elizabeth and family welcomed my goblins and were perfect.”

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 .
As of August 2026, there are 1,179 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Charnwood. 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 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 .
