“I highly recommend Alisha! Ben stayed with her for a full weekend, and she was absolutely wonderful. I really appreciated all the photos and updates she sent; it was obvious that Ben was super happy and well cared for. Her communication was flawless. I will definitely trust her with Ben again!”
“Lauren and family were absolutely amazing! They had shadow for a week while we were on our holidays and we got regular daily updates of her having the absolute best time. I cannot recommend these guys enough.”
“Absolutely — here’s a warm, glowing version that really highlights how brilliant they were: Sharron and Steve were absolutely incredible looking after Dexter! From the moment I dropped him off, they completely put my mind at ease and I knew he was in the best possible hands. Dexter is a very energetic spaniel, but they took everything in their stride and gave him so much love, attention and care during his stay. It was clear from the updates and photos that Dexter was having the absolute best time, and he came home happy and settled — it was obvious he had thoroughly enjoyed himself! I honestly couldn’t have asked for better sitters, and I’m so grateful for how wonderfully they looked after him. Thank you so much for everything, Sharron and Steve. You were both absolutely brilliant, and I would 100% recommend you to anyone. We will definitely be coming back in the future! ❤️”
About: Our experience with dogs 🐾 Ellie has always had dogs and has experience with a wide range of breeds, including rescue dogs with different backgrounds and needs. She also set up her own rescue, Praxie’s Promise, through which she has helped rehome hundreds of dogs. She is Canine First Aid trained and has a real understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with patience, care and a safe, loving environment. Gethin has always grown up around pets and has plenty of experience caring for dogs. Over the years, we have regularly looked after friends’ dogs, from walks and day-to-day care to having them stay with us while they're on holiday. Between us, we have a great deal of experience with dogs of different personalities, breeds and needs, and we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, settled and part of the family. We both work shifts, but Gethin works from home full-time, so there will always be someone around to care for your dog and provide company throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of attention, affection and company while staying with us. We’re both active people and enjoy getting out for walks, so we’re happy to provide as much exercise and outdoor time as your dog needs, whether that’s relaxed walks or something more energetic. We are both very flexible and happy to fit into your dogs schedule, whatever they need! We also have our own dog, Chevy, who is 11 years old and very calm and friendly. He is very adaptable to all kinds of dog personalities and is used to being around dogs with different temperaments and energy levels. We’ll make sure every dog staying with us gets the attention, exercise and care they need, while also giving them the space and time to settle in and feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will always be our priority. We have a secure, dog-friendly home with a fully enclosed 5ft fenced garden, giving dogs safe access to fresh air and outdoor space throughout the day whenever they need it. As Gethin works from home, there will usually be someone around throughout the day, meaning dogs won’t be left alone for long periods. With Ellie’s extensive experience caring for and rehoming dogs, including rescue dogs with a variety of personalities you can feel confident that your dog is in experienced and caring hands. We have kept our own dogs safe for 20+ years and your dogs will be looked after like one of our own. We’ll introduce dogs to Chevy carefully and at their own pace. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and will keep you updated during their stay, so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe and well cared for.
About: I have grown up with dogs and have always loved being around them. Honestly, I probably like dogs more than humans. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, so looking after them feels natural and enjoyable to me. Back at my mum’s home, we have a Beagle, and I also have a Cockapoo. I understand that every dog has their own personality, habits and routine, and I’m happy to give them the attention, patience and care they need. My children would love for us to have another dog, but before making that commitment, I thought it would be lovely to spend more time with dogs through pet sitting. I’m therefore looking forward to welcoming another furry friend to play with, go for walks and keep company. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, giving plenty of cuddles and following your pet’s normal routine and instructions. I’m also happy to spend extra time with dogs who need companionship or reassurance while their owners are away. Most importantly, I will treat your dog as if they were part of my own family. I want them to feel safe, happy, loved and comfortable while they are with me. I have a flexible routine and can make time in my day for pet care. I enjoy going for walks and spending time with dogs, so caring for a pet fits naturally into my daily routine. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding and companionship, while making sure each pet’s routine and individual needs are followed. I treat every pet as part of the family and take their safety and wellbeing very seriously. I have grown up with dogs and currently have a Cockapoo, so I understand how important it is to provide a safe, calm and loving environment. Before caring for your pet, I will make sure I understand their routine, personality, feeding requirements, walking habits and any special instructions. I am particularly patient with nervous or shy dogs and will give them time to settle in. I will always supervise pets carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure they are comfortable and happy. I am also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your dog is having a lovely time while you are away.
“This is the first time we have left our dog Tia with anyone for a week, but now we have found Marnie and Eddie we wouldn't hesitate to leave her again. We had regular video and photo updates of Tia's mini holiday, so this helped us to enjoy holiday, know that see was being well cared for. Since we've come home, Tia's been very quite and we think she definitely missing them. We can't highly recommend and thank Marnie and Eddie enough, for giving Tia a loving home for a week.”
“Wow , what can i say about Radleys stay. He has been so well looked after and treated like their own. Hes been to lots of great places to walk, play and swim.He was welcomed by Rocky and they became firm friends. Sam and Max are such nice people , who sent videos and photos of Radley and Rockys adventures. Highly recomend and we will be using them again soon. Thanks again xx”
“Joanna is amazing at looking after our dog, plenty of walks, cuddles and great update videos/photos. We feel 100% comfortable leaving our dog for overnight stays knowing she's loved and well looked after.”
“Katie was friendly and instantly made Teddy feel relaxed . Her communication was brilliant and she was very gracious and accommodating with Teddy’s needs . I went away feeling confident my dog was in good hands . Thanks Katie I would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have had dogs and cats throughout my life, including a Labrador and a Cocker Spaniel, both of whom I helped raise from puppies. I’ve also had cats of my own. Over the years, I’ve looked after lots of different dogs for friends and family, including Labradors, Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Saint Bernards and Bernese Mountain Dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of very different sizes, ages and personalities. I’m also a volunteer dog walker for a local dog charity and usually spend part of most weekends walking and spending time with the dogs there. I absolutely love animals and genuinely feel happiest with a dog around the house. I’m not in a position to commit to having my own dog at the moment, which is why dog sitting suits me so well. I get to enjoy having animals around while giving someone else the reassurance that their dog is being looked after by someone who genuinely loves having them there. I work from home the vast majority of the time, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. Because I’m home most of the day, pets would have plenty of company and wouldn’t be left alone for long periods. For dogs, a typical routine would usually include: * A morning walk * Another walk around lunchtime * An evening walk, depending on their usual routine and energy levels * Plenty of attention, company and cuddles throughout the day At weekends, I often go out for walks and generally have a fairly relaxed schedule, so any pet staying with me would very much be included in whatever I’m doing. My home is calm, quiet, child-free, pet-free and smoke-free, so it’s a lovely relaxed environment for pets to settle into. I have a fully secure yard for toilet breaks, as well as a park just five minutes from my home, so it’s very easy to get outside whenever needed. I’m very happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including: * Feeding times * Walks and toilet breaks * Sleeping arrangements * Any little habits that help them feel comfortable and at home If they normally sleep on the sofa, in the bedroom or even on the bed, that’s absolutely fine with me if their owner is happy with it. My main aim is to make any pet staying with me feel safe, relaxed, loved and genuinely at home.
“We could tell straight away that Teddy had been in a loving, caring environment. Teddy had a lovely time and was really happy when we picked him up. Sophie took fantastic care of Teddy during our 10 days away and kept us reassured with periodic updates on how he was doing. Will absolutely book again & would recommend highly!”
“Oscar’s third time back to Sophie and Adam’s and he’s now at the point where he gets excited when we pull up outside. Sophie and Adam treat Oscar just as they treat their own dog Poppy and we can see how happy he is when we get our regular updates through”
“We met Ashleigh and Arlo for a pre-stay meet up to check our dogs were happy in each other’s company. They were! Arlo is as chill as Ashleigh. When we dropped Milo off for his holiday stay, he was confident in her home as he’d already visited and was happy when we left. Regular updates and photos arrived while we were on holiday so I was happy and confident too. Milo was the most relaxed after a holiday that I have ever known him. Milo has a medical condition that Ashleigh appreciated and accommodated in her care while we were away. I definitely recommend Ashleigh to look after your pup with care and affection.”
“Anca is a super friendly, super helpful and lovely dog sitter. We had never left our pup with anyone before and we weren't sure what to expect but Anca was brilliant. We got regular updates and photos and she was very reassuring. She was also extremely understanding when our train was cancelled and we were later getting back than we had originally planned. Best of all, our dog came home happy, healthy and well looked after. Would highly recommend Anca's services.”
“We cannot thank Jacqui enough for the wonderful care she gave our 4‑month‑old puppy Snuggle while he stayed away from home. From the very start, we felt completely at ease—Jacqui is so warm, trustworthy, and clearly has such a loving way with dogs 💖 What made it extra special was how thoughtfully she kept us involved: she sent regular updates with lovely photos, sweet videos, and detailed notes about how Snuggle was doing, what he’d been up to, and how settled he felt. It meant the world to us to see our little one happy and safe, and we never felt out of the loop at all! Jacqui’s home is such a caring, welcoming place—Snuggle was loved and looked after as if he were her own. We would 100% recommend Jacqui to all our family and friends without any hesitation, and we will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you for everything, Jacqui—you’re brilliant! 🐾❤️”
“Amy was brilliant, so welcoming and great communication start to finish. Goose clearly felt happy and he was the calmest he's been when we've picked him up from anywhere! Absolutely would recommend and we'll be booking again in the future 😊”
“Jessica was fabulous with my Theo, and looked after him for 6 days. During this time, she sent me updates and pictures, which were greatly appreciated. Jessica was flexible and accommodated my requests to maintain Theo's habits and routine, which was also greatly appreciated. When I went to pick Theo up, I could see how happy he has been whilst staying with Jessica and I will certainly book her again 🙏❤️🐶”
About: Raised with a farm in the family I was surrounded by most animals growing up but dogs were always a constant companion. Now, having lost our family dog after enjoying his company for over 16 years we are without. The next 12 months for us involves GCSEs and A levels so a dog of our own is not the cards at the moment. I am a sat at home/home-educating mum and am needed less and less so I would like to get out in the fresh air and get those ‘steps in’ with a doggy companion and if a dog needs to stay over at our house, we would all enjoy that. I currently home educate my youngest son (GCSEs next year) so am at home most of the time and can fit walks in throughout the day I have a fenced garden and further gates/fences within it which were essential when I had my dog. When dogs visit, our back door can be opened for them to move freely from the house to the garden and back again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Craven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Craven on Rover is £33.93 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Yorkshire and the Humber 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 .
