About: Hi, you can call me Annie! ✅ Fully insured ✅ Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Course Completed ✅ Offline Dog Behaviour Training ✅ Personalised Care Plan & Routine for Every Dog ✅ Occasional Outdoor Adventures & Hikes With Owner Approval 🌿 🎄 Christmas Eve Doggy Party |🎅 Doggy Santa, little gifts, and a festive Christmas feast together. Every pup deserves a Christmas full of love! 🎃 Halloween Doggy Party | 👻Dress up & treats 🧡 🏡 Dog Boarding 1. Doggy Welcome Ritual🌸🤝: 1. We’ll start in the garden, allowing your dog to sniff around and get familiar with the new environment at their own pace. 2. If your dog is comfortable around other dogs, I’ll let your dog and the other dog(s) see and sniff each other safely from opposite sides of a 1.8m pet gate. 3. If both dogs remain calm, relaxed and comfortable, I’ll gradually introduce them one at a time in the garden, with close supervision. 2. Separate-Room Guarantee – Each client’s dog(s) will have their own dedicated room to sleep and settle in. Dogs will only meet or interact when both are comfortable. All interactions are carefully supervised. 3. Fresh Water & Hydration 💧 – Fresh, clean water is always available at home, and water bowls are cleaned daily. I also bring water on longer walks and during warmer weather to help keep your dog hydrated. 4. Company & Alone Time – I work from home, so your dog will have company most of the day. If I need to walk dogs separately, your dog may be left alone for 30 minutes to 1.5 hours with a chew treat and the radio on. 5. Enrichment & Training – I provide enrichment toys every day and, if I have time and the owner is comfortable with it, can practise simple commands such as kiss, sit, stay, paw, or spin. 6. Comfortable home with air conditioning during hot weather & heating during colder months 7. Personalised Care – I follow your dog's usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication, and bedtime, to help them feel at home. 🐕 Dog Walking: 1. 30-min or 60-min walks with GPS tracking 2. Watchful of traffic, other dogs, and surroundings — secure handling always 3. Comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, from puppies to seniors 4. I carry treats to reinforce good behavior 5. Always clean paws before returning inside 6. Walk route updates and photos after every walk 7. Punctual, reliable, and communicative — every time 🔑 Drop-In Visits 1. Feeding, fresh water, playtime, potty break, and lots of attention 2. I stay the full time booked — never cut visits short 3. Can administer oral medication and follow special dietary instructions 4. Photo update at every visit so you always know your pet is doing well 5. Tidy up after feeding, make sure everything is clean before I leave 6. Reliable, caring, and fully communicative. 🚶 House Sitting: 1. I do not bring my own dog to clients’ homes, so your pet can enjoy a calm and stress-free environment without needing to adjust to another dog. 🐾 2. Your pets sleep in their own bed, play with their own toys — familiar surroundings help keep them calm, especially for reactive or anxious dogs who may find new environments or interactions with other dogs overwhelming. 3. I stay in your home to provide reliable, round-the-clock care. 4. I follow your routine exactly — feeding, walks, bedtime, special instructions 5. No guests over, doors locked, everything clean — treated like my own home 6. Daily photo & video updates so you can relax knowing everything is okay Hi, you can call me Annie! I feel so lucky to be part of your furry friends’ lives and create wonderful memories together. 🐾❤️✨ I work from home, which means I get to spend lots of time with pets throughout the day. I genuinely love having dogs around me — whether they’re following me from room to room, asking for attention, playing with their favourite toy, or simply having a quiet nap next to me while I work. I’ve always dreamed of having a house full of dogs, but having several of my own isn’t really financially practical. Looking after other people’s dogs feels like the perfect way to have more furry friends around while giving them a safe, loving home-from-home when their owners are away. I have a rescue Whippet of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone new. I’ve completed a Pet Sitting & Dog Walking course and received offline training in dog behaviour. I genuinely treat every dog as part of the family. Saying goodbye is always a little bittersweet, and I’m always excited to see my furry guests again in the future. 🏡 Dog Boarding: Your dog's safety and comfort come first in my home. They have their own dedicated room. I have a fenced garden with supervised outdoor time, scheduled separately. Emergency vet contacts are always on hand. 🚶 House Sitting: Your home and pets' safety are my top priorities. I keep keys secure, lock doors at all times, and never bring guests over. I follow your safety instructions (alarm systems, pet gates, etc.) exactly. I have emergency vet contacts ready and can handle medication if needed. 🐕 Dog Walking: Safety is always first on walks. I use secure harnesses/collars, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and carry a phone in case of emergencies. I follow your instructions on handling — whether your dog needs space from other dogs or loves to say hello. Walks are GPS tracked via Rover for peace of mind. 🔑 Drop-In: I prioritise safety in every visit. I ensure doors are locked when I leave, food is stored correctly, and any hazards are out of reach. I follow your care instructions precisely and can administer medication, accommodate special diets, and handle senior pet needs.

About: Promo code: https://www.rover.com/sit/yasenp28131 I’ve taken care of my 2 years old cockapoo puppy since day 1 and I grow up with many cats at home. I love animals and I have a suitable house for them to play around and feel safe. We go on at least 3 walks everyday to different parks around us, I also love hiking with dogs and I am capable of taking care of them and cleaning them after long walks. I also work from home full time at the moment so I will be able to give your dog the best company during the day. I’m currently working from home full time so I am available all day everyday to take good care of your pets and make sure they don’t get bored! I usually start my day by walking my dog around the parks or just walk around the neighborhood 🐾 I can take them out for walks every 2 hours. Dog are allowed on sofa and bed.

Wilbur was looked after perfectly. Wilbur can be an anxious dog with a change in circumstances but has come home happy and relaxed thanks to a lovely stay :) During his stay we received some lovely photos, showing him asleep cosy on the sofa and out for a walk which definitely set my mind at rest :) Thank you Jenny.

Nala and Mylo enjoyed themselves so much! Mylo had a couple accidents(he will sit and wait by the door but if the cue is missed he will just go where he can) we forgot to mention they had different behaviours when they need toilet Nala will openly bark when you say do you need a toilet whereas Mylo will just sit by a door and stare at you, loads of pictures and videos were provided which we absolutely adored seeing my boy and girl have so much fun and relax was so calming and reassuring they were in the absolute best hands! 🙌🏻

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since j was around 12 years old. I’ve looked after from the size of a bichon fries to a German Shepard. So have had my fair share of different sized animals I don’t work as I’m a full time mum so u can expect me to be with ur dogs 24/7. They’re allowed to be on my bed with me. They can come in my car. They can come park and have a massive field to run around in I have a fenced flat garden that the dogs can run around in to go toilet. Or even just to play. I have a huge field near mine where dogs can run and play with balls etc

I was very worried about leaving my boy Harley with someone I didn't know but we had a weeding to attend. We came across this site and Lauren. Lauren was amazing she took the time to explain how this site works and how she would look after Harley. Lauren cared for Harley very well and came back from doggy day care completely shattered which is not easy as he is a lakeland terrier and the batteries never end ? If you are looking for someone who really cares for your dog Lauren is highly recommended by me. Thank you so much Lauren ❤️

About: I had a fox red Labrador for 11 and a half years, he was a huge part of our family. He was diagnosed with epilepsy at 10 months old and I administered his medication twice a day and remained calm when he had a fit. Sadly I lost my Jasper in August 2026, he had a stroke following a fit. He was the most amazing furbaby and we all miss him dearly. I offer a loving smoke free environment to other fur babies who need someone in the daytime or board to help his/her parents out from time to time. I work Tuesday to Friday from home and Monday is my day off so I’m available all day to support any needs. I am up by 7am to receive any daycare fur babies I have a fenced off garden and there are some lovely local walks with lots of places for exploring. My home is open plan and comfortable for day visitors or overnight stays

About: I have raised a Garfield cat for 5 years and am skilled at cleaning its eyes and playing with it. As for dogs, I frequently read books and watch training videos on dog care, so I have a good understanding of dog behavior. For example, when walking a dog and encountering other dogs, I can gauge the dog’s emotions and intentions by observing whether it avoids eye contact or adopts a playful stance like the "play bow." I also use positive reinforcement to guide dogs in forming good habits, such as avoiding excessive excitement during social interactions. I’m currently a university student, but as a research-focused student with no regular classes, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend playing with cats and dogs. I enjoy soaking up the sun when it’s bright outside and would love to take your dog out to play and enjoy the sunshine together. I’m currently not accepting pet sitting at my home, but I’m happy to visit other people's homes to play with pets, feed them, walk dogs, and spend quality time with them.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Coventry

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Coventry on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,593 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Coventry. About 86% of Coventry 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 Coventry 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 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.

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.
