“Dooey had an absolute fantastic mini holiday with Max and her lovely family including the lovely Apollo. She was welcomed like one of the family and taken great care of from the minute she arrived, walks and cuddles a plenty!! Communication from the time of booking through to collecting Dooey was exceptional and it was lovely and heartwarming to receive photos and videos during her stay. I would highly recommend Max and her family for a loving nurturing home for your fur babies little holiday’s away. We will most definitely book Dooey a return stay.”
“Ruben & Pippa had a fabulous time with Deborah S and the other furry friends. I couldn’t be happier. They were both very tired when they got home, that’s a sign that they’ve had a lot of fun.”
“Yasmin and Rhys were absolutely fantastic with our two dogs Penny & Rollo. We had daily updates with pictures of how they were doing which made us feel really at ease. Would not hesitate to have them dog sit again! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter☺️ thank you again!”

“Scoobie had a fabulous time with Stacey and Paul. What a lovely couple who absolutely doted on him. We had frequent photos and updates during his time there which I loved. There was excellent communication before the booking and during for peace of mind. A very professional approach to the meet and greet to find out all necessary and comfort details for your pet. Cannot recommend their high quality of care enough ❤️”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover who has owned three dogs and regularly cares for family and friends’ dogs while they’re away. I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re apart. I have a DBS certificate I work in education, so I’m lucky to have the school holidays free—these are the times I’m available for pet sitting. This means your dog will enjoy plenty of company, around-the-clock attention, and will only ever be left for very short periods, if at all. We also have a National Trust membership, so your dog can join us on lots of fun walks and adventures, with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and cuddles along the way! We have a secure, fenced garden and one friendly male dog. There’s plenty of space in our home for a crate if that’s part of your dog’s routine, helping them feel comfortable and settled. If your dog is a bit of an escape artist, I’m happy to put a baby gate at the front door for extra security. We also have three dog-savvy children (aged 12, 10, and 7) who have grown up around dogs and understand how to behave respectfully. Please be honest about how your dog is around children so I can ensure our home is the right fit for everyone.
“I am really grateful to Ashley for looking after Gracie at very short notice. I was very happy at how she was looked after and I would have no hesitation in recommending Ashley. Thank you again”
“Billy had a great time with Rhiannon, he loved his stay on the farm and walks in the orchard. It was great to see pictures of his day and his time with the other dogs. He looks forward to the next stay”
About: My partner & I both come from dog loving family homes, we recently bought our own house & the only thing missing is a 4 legged friend♥️ I have experience with puppy training, large dogs & senior dogs. I am reliable and can’t wait to meet your furry friends. I currently work full-time during the week but am available for evening walkies & weekend boarding. Your pooch will have my undivided attention during the weekends for lots of walks & cuddles. I have a spacious, secure garden which allows for safe, supervised play, while a calm home environment ensures a relaxing stay—perfect for dogs who may feel anxious or overwhelmed.
“Kelly was a brilliant dog sitter, despite our concerns about leaving Shadow our active collie in kennels for the first time, Kelly quickly settled her in with some ball throwing around her extensive garden. She sent messages and photographs to re assure us that Shadow was happy and well cared for and gave her a lovely walk. Shadow was clearly treated like one of the family and we will certainly be asking Kelly to look after her again.”
“Poppy had such a lovely day with stefanie and her little boy, And was well looked after, With fun walks, And cuddles on the sofa, She was absolutely shattered on the evening, Thank you so much, it was such a great help on my moving house day”
About: I have been self employed as a house, horse and dog sitter for over 10 years, trustworthy, reliable and cautious, I treat all animals as my own, as family members. Having cared for dogs and horses during month long trips away for clients, I have a wonderful client base in our previous home in Lincolnshire with many references available. We have now relocated to Herefordshire and so I am looking to offer my help and services to pet owners local to us. I take great joy and pride in my work, offering help and advice where I can, whilst making the times you can’t be with your pet as enjoyable for them as possible. I am self employed managing my own diary gives my the flexibility to offer my services to suit you, and also to take more time where needed which can often be the case with animals! We live on a lovely quiet private farm, with beautiful walks on our doorstep. I am fit and active and enjoy long walks with fourlegged friends
About: Hello! I'm Amy! I work from home full time, which means your dog will never be left alone. They will have constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. We live in a calm, pet-friendly home (with a garden), access to lovely local walking spots and a secure space for play and rest. I have previously looked after dogs for friends and family, and have always found it rewarding and enjoyable. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I am open to pet sitting and walking. I am more than happy for you to visit our home before agreeing to allow us to look after your pet. Feel free to get in touch. I look forward from you! I run my own business, which gives me a flexible, home-based routine rather than a fixed nine-to-five. That means I can build pet care naturally into my day, whether that is a morning walk before the working day starts, a midday check-in, or simply having a dog around the house with me while I work. I have looked after pets for family and friends over the years, so I am used to fitting feeding times, walks, and general care around a normal day without it feeling rushed. Because my schedule is mine to manage, I can offer consistency and genuine attention rather than squeezing visits in between other commitments. For walks and drop-ins, I follow the owner's usual feeding and toileting schedule, check the home is secure, and send updates so owners can relax. For house sitting, I keep to the pet's existing routine as closely as possible to minimise disruption. And in my own home, my flexible, home-based schedule means walks, feeding, and playtime fit naturally around the day rather than being squeezed in.
“A lovely couple who Megan clearly loves being with. They have gone above and beyond in this booking, and I'm so grateful for what they've done for Megan. When you put your dog in someone else's care, you need to feel they're going to be loved and treated well during their stay, and you can absolutely rest assured of this with Roy and Mandy. Updates received even when they were having power cuts, broadband drop outs and signal losses thanks to Storm Darragh!”
“Bonnie took wonderful care of our Collie dog, Gwir, giving him regular walks and play-time and providing us with updates on his progress. Gwir has been purring like a cat since we got back and we would have no hesitation in asking Bonnie to look after him again. A fantastic experience all round!”
About: We lost our beloved cocker spaniel earlier this year. Abi was 13.5 years old and we had her since she was a puppy…so we have experienced all the stages from high energy puppy to the later stages of patience, peace and quiet including giving the necessary oral/topical medication. Both of us grew up in households full of pets as well, so dogs have always been a part of our lives. We've also loved dog sitting for friends. We are not ready to adopt another dog yet but we miss their company very much and we would love to look after your dog. We are a couple in our mid-50s, who both work part-time from home (we are self-employed, so don’t tend to work to a schedule), which means we have the flexibility to work around the needs of your dog. We understand that different pets/owners have different requirements and are always ready to be flexible – following usual routines for walks / feeding / play time. We have a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. We provide a home-from-home experience, allowing all dogs full access to our house so they can relax wherever they feel most comfortable (as per your instructions). If your dog prefers a crate, we have room for you to bring your own crate to give them their own cosy retreat.
About: I have 4 little yorkies at home, I also help my family with pet sitting when needed. My dogs are very friendly, loud at first but they calm down eventually, we have few dogs coming to my house and some stay for sleepover as I also use my little boy as stud so my dogs are used to other dogs and my children are pet lovers too. They always want every dog to stay in our house forever. I decided to make my service official as I know how hard it is when you want to go for a holiday and you need to leave your hairy babies behind. I have had dogs all my life and also other pets. I work nights as a bank position so I pick my own hours and slmy dogs are never left alone and I only work when I am not busy doing something else. I am at home every day, also I am very lucky to live where I live so the dogs have enough space for walking and running and I have quite satisfying garden. I stay at home during the day, my family is at home during the nights I am working. My pets are very spoiled as they get a lot of kisses and cuddles and they are very needy babies, my kids also love animals especially dogs.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in County of Herefordshire is £35
Dog owners share their Rover experiences - County of Herefordshire
If you’re like us and have never left your dog before then rest assured, Max is as close to a home from home as it gets. From the start nothing was too much trouble, communication was prompt and easy and more to the point our dog came back happy and well looked after. Max even sent me a video and photos during the evening so I could see for myself Beau was happy. I cannot recommend Max highly enough.
We were really pleased with Scott looking after our staffy Reggie for our first family trip away. Scott was friendly, reliable and kept me updated with photos while I was away, which gave us peace of mind. Reggie was clearly happy and well looked after when I collected him. I’d definitely use Scott again and would recommend to other pet owners looking for reliable care. Thanks again.
Oddie had a fab time staying with Emma this weekend! Emma is brilliant and so lovely. The photos and videos were so great to see and put my mind at rest. Emma went above and beyond to give Oddie a really fun experience with other dogs and on lots of walks and a really nice run in a field. I can tell that all the dogs that Emma looks after absolutely love her. Oddie definitely does! He's come back home shattered and that's the best sign of him having so much fun. I cannot thank Emma enough! I will definitely be contacting Emma again in the future.
I honestly couldn’t have asked for better sitters than Stacey and Paul. From the moment I dropped my boy off at 5pm, they made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. They kept sending me the sweetest little photo updates throughout the evening which honestly meant so much and really showed how loved and settled he was. When I picked him up at half 1, he was so happy, calm and relaxed, and you could just tell he’d had the loveliest time with them. It’s so special finding people who genuinely care for your baby like their own, and that’s exactly how Stacey and Paul made me feel. Thank you both so much again for being so kind, caring and amazing. I’m so grateful and I would absolutely book with you again without a second thought 💙🐾
We are so happy to have found Jess! She was so kind and thoughtful in all her communications and at our pre-meeting Gracie obviously felt at home straight away. Our handover with Gracie before going away was really comprehensive - Jess was careful to take notes of all that Gracie might need. We are so grateful to her for all her care looking after our elderly dog.

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 West 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 .
