“Terri was super helpful looking after our dog Coco at short notice. This included picking her up in her car, taking her for a walk on the beach, looking after Coco in her home for the day and allowing us a later pickup. Terri was good n communication, very friendly and good on animal welfare.”
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals. I have owned dogs for many years, and trained my male Chocolate lab in obedience and agility and competed. I then got a female Rottweiler a few years later as a companion, who also I trained and did agility- but no competitions. After a few years without them, I got a shihtzu- moving to a small breed was very different- but amazing. Did some agility for fun only, she moved abroad with me - so I care for animals wholeheartedly. I groom her myself. I am an experienced handler and pet owner, who loves dogs all shapes and sizes. I am not working in August and part time from September, although can work from home. Therefore I am flexible with arrangements and ensure I am not away more than a few hours. I have a fenced in front garden, that is secure, as well as plenty of walkable routes around my home. I have a car to go for beach or woods walks.

“Was down in Newquay for a SUP Surf camp and as weather pretty warm wanted a dog sitter for during the day. Luckily Harriet was free, Agatha loved her time there, (was whining with excitement on the 2nd day as we turned down to the house). Harriet was flexible on the timings, when I ran a bit later than planned the 2nd day. Agatha had a good walk along with a chill on the sofa, would highly recommend and use again if I’m down in Newquay.”
“Leo has been fantastic, he agreed to look after Dave on short notice. He has been really accommodating and worked around us. Dave had a wonderful time with Leo and Bruce, thoroughly enjoying himself and he came back tired, relaxed and very happy which can be a challenge at times being a working breed border collie, he has a lot of energy.”
“It was Jessie's introductory session with Kyal prior to our summer booking. Kyal seemed confident in handling Jess, a large dog @ 35kg who sometimes can be reactive and unpredictable. He seemed genuinely to love animals, was kind, gentle but firm with her, and she really seemed to like him so I feel more confident in leaving her in his care.”
“Tywi and Hetta had a lovely day with Ella and Tom. They came back very content and calm. I think Ella was great to communicate with and very ameniable to our requests. I would highly recommend Ella and Tom and use them again if we were in the area.”
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.
“We needed someone to look after our dog Mabel while we took the kids to the theme park. Georgia was very quick to reply to any questions we had before taking Mabel to her. She also kept us up to date how Mabel was doing throughout the day and sent pictures. Mabel had a great time with Georgia, she made sure to put Mabel's needs first and took her for a long walk on the beach which Mabel would of loved. Thank you so much for taking care of Mabel we will definitely be back in touch on our next trip to Cornwall.”
“Runa instantly felt at home with Rhianna. She was very well looked after and came home a very happy girl! Rhianna sent lots of lovely photo updates and messages on how runa was throughout the day so I knew she was in safe hands. Thank you!”
“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.”
About: We have 14 years experience of loving and owning our pug Bruce who has unfortunately recently passed away. We had Bruce from a baby so have experienced all ages of dog ownership and care from the crazy puppy to gentle old man. Since losing Bruce we now have spare time to help with other dogs and have a lot of love to give. We live 200 metres from the beach so lots of space for your dog to enjoy. I work from home full time with a very flexible schedule so there would never be a situation where your dog is left alone. Dog walks 3 times a day is all we know over the last 14 years so accommodating that would just be the norm! We take great pride in our home and have always kept it dog friendly and safe over the years. We have doors to each room of the house so can keep everything closed and secure.
“We were so nervous about leaving Olive but as soon as she met Bella those nerves disappeared, we booked whilst being away on holiday during a heatwave and Olive looked like she had the time of her life! So much so she didn’t seem happy to come back 🤣 we were kept up to date with photos and Bella picked up and dropped off right on time. We will definitely use again when we come to Cornwall and I would 1000% recommended.”
About: I grew up with the craziest Maltese, who I trained from a puppy until I left for university, so I’ve always had dogs around me. I’m often at home and regularly look after my friends’ dogs, whether that’s keeping them company, playing with them, or taking out. I also enjoy running, swimming and other outdoor activities, and I’d love to have a dog join me whenever appropriate. I’ve always found that animals naturally seem to feel confortable around me, and most importantly, dog person for life! I’m a postgraduate student living in Falmouth with a part time job. I’m usually at home for most of the day unless im out doing an activity involving some sort of exercise I live in a spacious house with five friends, a courtyard, and plenty of room for dogs. We enjoy outdoor activities, relaxing days and companionship
“Annabelle is such a chilled, caring and reliable dog sitter, Teddy loved her and he was relaxed and happy when we returned. I would definitely recommend her and will 💯 be using her again :)”
About: Growing up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and various farm animals has instilled in me a deep love for animals. I take my responsibility as a caregiver seriously, holding myself to high standards in all aspects of animal care. I am particularly interested in understanding dog behavior, and I am skilled at recognizing signs of anxiety or discomfort. My commitment to providing a loving and attentive environment ensures that every animal I care for feels safe and valued. My part-time job as a teaching assistant in a primary school allows me a flexible schedule. My shifts typically last up to six hours, with some days being shorter. I start my day at 6 AM, giving me ample time to attend to my pets before heading to work. This routine ensures that I can provide consistent care, attention, and companionship to the animals, regardless of my work commitments. When caring for pets, whether at my home or the owner’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. My approach includes: • Routine Establishment: I maintain the pet’s usual feeding and exercise schedule to ensure consistency. • Environment Familiarity: If at the owner’s home, I respect their space and routines, ensuring the pet feels secure. • Attention to Behavior: I closely observe the pet for signs of anxiety or discomfort, adjusting my approach as needed to help them feel at ease. • Engagement and Play: I provide physical and mental stimulation through playtime and interaction, keeping pets happy and healthy. • Communication: I keep the pet owner informed about their pet’s behavior, health, and any concerns that may arise. This comprehensive care approach allows me to foster a trusting relationship with the pets, ensuring they feel loved and secure.
“Chelle was an absolute dream to have as a dog sitter - we got to do a virtual meet beforehand of the humans and dogs, I got updates, photos and videos throughout the day which was so reassuring and I came back to a very hapoy dog. Very clear that Chelle knows what she is doing and cares about the pups. Will definitely be looking to book in again when I'm down :D”

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.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalised environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-to-one attention, and same-day collection and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose 'can host' section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socialising needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters 'Doesn't own a dog' and 'Only accepts one pet at a time' to find the right care.
Many sitters on Rover can help with collection and drop-off! You can find the cost of collection and drop-off in their profile under 'See additional rates'.
If you found a day care close to your home in Cornwall, you can also explore dog walking as an add-on service, which allows your sitter to collect or drop off your dog from their home to yours. Add your location to the search field to find sitters near you and message them directly about transport alternatives.
Day care on Rover takes place in the sitter’s home rather than at a commercial day care facility. At a sitter’s home, your dog’s care is arranged directly with an individual sitter. Depending on the sitter, the day may include walks, play, companionship, rest and care based on the routine you agree on together.
Day care facilities generally care for dogs in a commercial space. Their staffing, dog-grouping practices and available spaces will vary by facility.
Neither option is better than the other. Your dog’s unique needs will determine whether they thrive in a home or facility-based setting.
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 .
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
