“Olly did a fantastic job of caring for our dog last weekend. You were super accommodating, kind and put my mind at ease. I knew my dog was in good hands as soon as we met. Extremely responsive and helpful on the messenger and kept me up to date with what Bonito was up to when you had him. I will definitely use you again! Thanks so much Olly! X”
“We went camping in Cornwall and needed Bailey to be with someone for a day whilst we explored some of the sights which didn’t allow dogs. Lerryn was the perfect choice. She looked after Bailey so well, giving him cool walks by a waterfall and friendly experience in a cafe. He had the best time whilst we had our best time. Thank you!”
“Lennie had his first doggy day care session with Alison yesterday and he absolutely loved it! We received regular updates and pictures to show he had settled in. Thank you so much, Alison. I’m sure he can’t wait for his weekend trip in March🐶🥰”
“Our lovely needy little dog Gus has been very well looked after with real care and attention. I can't recommend Esther and her family enough! Our dog doesn't like staying at the kennels so we're very grateful to have Esther look after Gus, especially in a heatwave when it's hard to take a dog out.”
“This is my first time using Rover, Tammy made me feel really at ease, inviting me over to the house before the day to check I was happy with everything and sending me messages and pictures throughout. Her and her husband were really nice and I will definitely use again if I need a sitter near Newquay. Thank you Tammy !”
“Frank had the best time with Leo. It has been a while since Frank had been with someone he wasn’t familiar with. He wasn’t happy when I left. Leo quickly sent me reassuring pictures. Little updates flowed throughout the day as they went of in walks and played at Leo’s home. Frank looked reluctant to leave. Would leave my little Prince with Leo any day. Thank you!”
“Jesse immediately took to Kyle and they had a very good day together. Being an older dog she is very set in her ways and Kyle was very sympathetic to her needs and she was very settled when we arrived home. Would definitely use again.”
About: I’m a marine biology student who misses her black lab from home, lots of experience looking after friends dogs for extended periods of time. I’ve just finished my degree and am now working part time. I am home during the day most days and am flexible in my availability. I have a fenced garden and no other dogs in the house. I will listen to and stick to your instructions, caring for your dog the way you know is best!
“Abigail has been amazing with our 2 dogs. Ella is people reactive in the home and Abigail spent time getting to know her and making her feel safe. They are now the best of friends and I feel so relaxed leaving them both with Abigail, knowing they are happy and well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abigail to anyone.”
“Ella & Tom are a wonderful couple who looked after Phoebe for two days. She was very happy heading back on day two which is always a telling tale. I really can’t thank them both enough for watching her, and for the local cycling tip 😁. Wishing you both lots of happiness, and a big thank you from Phoebe & I x”
“Conny looked after Fleur,our rescue Old Tyme English Bulldog at her home for the day and evening while we were in Cornwall at a wedding. We would give this lovely lady 10 stars if we could! Conny was so warm and welcoming, had her beautiful home all ready to look after Fleur, she had thought of everything. Fleur had the best day ever including a fabulous beach walk, playing games and was thoroughly pampered. Conny sent us wonderful pictures and a video throughout the day, so we had no worries about Fleur at all. We would definitely recommend Conny and have no hesitation in booking her again.”
“Poppy is SO lovely & friendly and took amazing care of Ralph! He looked very happy and comfortable in her company and I was so at ease knowing he was in safe hands. I'd 100% recommend Poppy to anyone looking for support with dog daycare!”
“Katie has been and brilliant. From perfect communication to going the extra mile to help, she's been absolutely amazing. I'm so grateful I found her to look after my dog. Thanks a million Katie.”
“An absolute 5-star experience! Having recently moved to the Bodmin area, it was incredibly daunting to look for a new sitter for our beloved and pampered dog, Barley. However, meeting Terry and Susan (Megan's parents) beforehand completely put our minds at ease as they would be looking after him on the day. Barley spent the day with them yesterday whilst we attended our daughter's graduation in Exeter, and we could not have asked for better care. They looked after him brilliantly, treated him like one of the family, and sent us lovely picture updates which we really appreciated. Terry and Susan made us feel so comfortable and reassured from start to finish. Barley loved his cuddles with Terry (The Dog Whisperer). We are incredibly grateful to have found such caring, trustworthy sitters locally and will definitely be booking with them again!”
About: Born into a veterinary household, I grew up caring for every type of animal — from hamsters and tortoises to lambs, cats and dogs. As an adult, I’ve always shared my home with dogs, from tiny Shih Tzu puppies to giant Newfoundlands. This lifelong experience has given me a natural instinct for understanding what every dog needs to feel safe and loved. At the points of life where Iv been able to live with animals such a university or housing restrictions I have volunteered at either a dog walking charity or a small grooming business. Currently taking a break from cardiac Nursing, as youngest child is in their first year of school. Once school run is done we will either head to Trevaunance Cove, Portreath beach, Idless woods. Whichever you your pup would prefer. Then home for a snack & snooze, while I complete chores Then again after school pick up have a fun run down Coosebean woods/ cycle track just at the back of my home. I have a large garden that has some holes in the hedge-line, however your dog will be supervised while outside. No toxic plants. Always have access to fresh water, inside and outside
“Shaun and his family were so welcoming and looked after Melvin for the day whilst we were on holiday. Shaun was really informative and also asked us lots of questions before the day making sure Melvin was going to be well looked after. During the stay we had regular updates and photos. Melvin was very relaxed and happy at pick up and we were delighted with Shaun’s care! We would HIGHLY recommend and will certainly be booking Melvin in again when we are next back. Huge thanks!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. Alongside owning dogs myself, I've volunteered with animal shelters both in the UK and abroad, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, backgrounds and needs. I've also spent time volunteering with wildlife conservation projects, giving me experience working with animals of all kinds. I work from home full time, so your dog will have plenty of company, supervision and attention throughout the day. My home is spacious and can be separated into different areas if dogs need their own space, and I also have a large garden for playtime, sniffing adventures and relaxing in the sunshine. I share my home with my two rescue dogs, Zuri and Amara, who are both friendly, well-socialised and comfortable around dogs of all sizes. Their story is a special one. I first met them while volunteering at an animal shelter in Morocco. Zuri arrived at the shelter after being hit by a car and sadly lost one of his front legs as a result. My family helped cover his veterinary treatment while the shelter cared for him during his recovery. I later returned to Morocco to volunteer at the shelter for a month and completely fell in love with him, so I arranged for him to come home with me to the UK. While volunteering, I also met Amara. She quickly stole my heart too, but at the time I wasn't able to adopt her. A year and a half later, after moving into my home in Cornwall and knowing she was still waiting for her forever family, I travelled back to Morocco and brought her home as well. Both dogs have settled beautifully into life in Cornwall and love having canine visitors. Their rescue journeys have taught me so much about dog behaviour, patience, confidence building and making every dog feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were one of my own. I'm always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone is a good match, and I look forward to welcoming your dog into our home-from-home environment 🐾❤️ I work remotely most of the time, I'm sometimes needed in the office but this is rare - if this will be the case during a time period of house sitting I will flag this when you make the request! My house: Have a fenced garden and a baby gate between upstairs and downstairs. I feed all my pets separately and I have a crate available of my own.
About: I moved to Cornwall for university and soon found the passion for surfing. I now live in Cornwall and have been looking after dogs for several years now. Moving to Cornwall on my own has made me very independent, but also very flexible. Which means pet care fits easily into my day to day routine. I have a few small jobs that I can schedule around the dog sitting, so I'm able to give pets plenty of time and attention. I thrive on having a routine and living an active, healthy lifestyle. When looking after pets. I understand how important routine is, including regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, especially as different breeds have different needs. With my active lifestyle, i genuinely enjoy walks, runs, and spending time outdoors, so keeping dogs happy and exercised comes naturally to me. When I'm caring for pets in their own home, I'm always respectful, tidy and minimal, making sure everything is kept just as the owners expect.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Cornwall is £35

Olly did a fantastic job of caring for our dog last weekend. You were super accommodating, kind and put my mind at ease. I knew my dog was in good hands as soon as we met. Extremely responsive and helpful on the messenger and kept me up to date with what Bonito was up to when you had him. I will definitely use you again! Thanks so much Olly! X
It was so reassuring knowing Digby was in safe hands. Eliza is lovely and a great communicator, both before and during Digby’s daycare. She offered to meet in the nearby park just to make sure Digby was super comfortable. As for Sammy the dog, he’s a gentle soul who was very affectionate with Digby. All in all, the highest of ratings for dog-sitting. 🐾 🐾
Jack and Eliza were absolutely wonderful with Nikko — I couldn’t have asked for better sitters. They took such great care of him, gave him plenty of long walks, and kept him happy throughout his stay. He was relaxed and content when I picked him up, which says it all. What meant the most was how excited he was to go back the next day — he’s completely obsessed with Eliza and barely wanted to come home! Sammy is the best boy 🐾 Such a sweet, good-natured dog and great company for Nikko. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would highly recommend them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cornwall on Rover is £34.5 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 154 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Cornwall. About 84% of Cornwall 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 Cornwall 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 South West 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 .
