“Lucy took great care of our 16 1/2 year old Black Labrador. He’s never stayed with someone he doesn’t know before and he came home very contented. Not sure he even missed us! Really happy to hear he was exploring the garden and getting some ‘care in the community’ assistance. We received an evening update and photo which was reassuring. Have already secured another stay with Lucy and her family. Thank you so much! 🌟”
“Fatima and family were brilliant with Clover, who is not an easy dog. She sent us loads of lovely and reassuring updates, videos and photos, which helped us relax and enjoy our holiday as we were quite anxious. I don't think Clover wanted to come home she had such a lovely time with her new pack! Fatima was also very happy to meet up in the run up to the holiday and now afterwards, too, which is lovely. We now have a trusted relationship that we'll definitely use again - thank you!!!”
“Thank you Maria and family. Jasper had a lovely time with you. It was reassuring to have photos and updates and nice to see what he was up to! Lots of fun and cuddles had - happy boy with you. Thank you. Maria is a super understanding host who pays attention to detail to ensure she fully understands dogs routines and needs. Very responsive to messages.”
“Pebbles was very well looked after by Candi! She was treated like a member of the family and we got loads of pictures which was a lovely touch. We’ll be booking her in for our next break for sure!”
“Alireza was amazing, super friendly and accommodating. He made sure that I felt comfortable leaving my little guy with him and his boy Rexi. He was super attentive, kept me updated on Walter and assured me that even though he has his own dog, mine was his priority. Will absolutely be using him again!”
“Very flexible, easy going sitter and just down the road from us. Short notice emergency for our little one yesterday and Bronn was amazing and helped us out. Also day care for both our dogs before and they lived going and playing with thier dogs too.”
“Thankyou so much Daria for the short notice stay! Zeus had such an amazing time, loads of playing, walks and cuddles!! Zeus felt completely at home. Pic updates throughout Zeus's stay. ?? x”
About: Hi! I’m Kirsty, and I’m a huge animal lover with a particular soft spot for dogs. 🐶❤️ I’ve always loved dogs and spent my childhood wishing I could have one of my own. Unfortunately, allergies in my household meant that wasn’t possible growing up, so I made the most of every opportunity to spend time with friends’ and family members’ dogs. Thankfully, I’m now a very proud dog dad to Walter, my one year old pug! He’s incredibly friendly, playful and absolutely loves having other dogs around. He’s become a huge part of my life and has given me lots of hands-on experience caring for a young dog and everything that comes with it! I have a spacious, dog-friendly home and would love to welcome your furry family member into it. I want dogs staying with me to feel like they’re having a little holiday of their own, rather than simply being somewhere away from home. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, walks and, of course, cuddles! 🥰 I’m also very happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medication, walks and any little habits that help them feel comfortable. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m more than happy to send regular updates and photos so you can see exactly what your pup is getting up to while they’re with me ☺️ Every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always take the time to get to know yours. Whether they’re an energetic ball of chaos, a professional cuddler, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like one of the family while they’re here. ❤️🐶 I work from home 4 days a week, with the exception of Tuesday’s when I’m in office, which means your pet will have plenty of company and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to give them regular attention, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles, while also making sure they have plenty of opportunities to rest and settle. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I’ll always discuss their usual schedule with you beforehand and do my best to keep things familiar. This includes following their normal feeding times, walks, toilet breaks, sleep routine and any other care they’re used to at home. Depending on how long I have your pet for, a typical day might include: 🍽️ Breakfast according to their usual routine 🎾 Playtime and plenty of attention throughout the morning 💻 Company and supervision while I work 🌿 Regular toilet breaks and opportunities to stretch their legs 🐕 A walk or suitable exercise during the day 😴 Plenty of quiet time and naps 🍽️ Dinner following their usual feeding schedule ❤️ Evening cuddles, playtime and another toilet break before settling down for the night Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll make sure they are supervised appropriately, particularly when meeting Walter or exploring a new environment. Introductions will be calm and gradual, and I’ll always take their individual personality and comfort level into consideration. I have a fenced garden and a large park near to my house that your pet will be able to explore however much they need. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide regarding food, treats, walks, medication, allergies or anything else that could affect their wellbeing. I’m happy to keep certain areas of the home off-limits if needed and will make sure doors, gates and other exits are secure to prevent any adventurous escapees! I want your pet to feel comfortable enough to relax and enjoy themselves, while giving you peace of mind that they’re being looked after in a safe, loving home.
“Monty had a fantastic stay with Craig and Jen, their children and dog Piper. During our trip they sent some great videos of him playing and running after his ball. They are clearly very caring dog lovers and we feel very reassured leaving Monty with them.”
About: I am very experienced with high energy dogs and training! I have had my own dogs since I was 3, 2 boxer dogs and a jack Russell. I now have 2 cocker spaniels and a cat. I walk them everyday and have a great home set up for dogs with toys and a good sized secure garden for playing. I am available at all times to care for the animals! I have 2 dogs of my own and my days work around them and getting in a good off lead, stimulating walk. I have a safe and secure garden, 2 dogs of my own and a cat. I walk everyday sometimes twice a day! the dogs are never left for longer than 2 hours at a time.
“Obie was really well looked after by the whole family! He clearly had his own little holiday. It was very reassuring all the pictures I got set too! Carly and family went above and beyond making Obie at home with them. Thanks ☺️”
“Nala had a lovely stay with Eleanor. We received lots of updates and Nala was well looked after for our week away. Lovely cool setting meant she could enjoy the outdoors even in the heat!”
“This is the second time Frankie has stayed with Taleb and you can see he is totally comfortable and excited to go, in fact he’s not even bothered when we leave him! We have already booked him in for his next visit. Thanks again Taleb”
“My dog has had the happiest 2 weeks with Christine while I was away. Chris kept me updated with pics and messages, and on my return my dog looks incredibly well and very happy. We hatted o an hour and my dog wnet between the two of us, showing me how much she has loved being with Chris. I will DEFINITELY be using her again. I can't believe my luck finding such a wonderful dog minder, thank you Chris.”
“Angela was excellent and I was so reassured about leaving my dog Ruben with her. I received daily updates on him and as a result of my experience, have booked Angela for other dates during 2026 when I am away from home for work.”
“Vanessa is a great and ovely dog carer, the drop off went really well, she sorted Milo sleeping bed next to her two lovely dogs and made Milo feel welcomed straight away and totallyat home! She kept us informed every day of Milo’s days with cute photos and videos and reassured us he was doing great. We will definitely use Vanessa again thank you for taking care of our little rascal and making him one of the family!”

It’s the second time we booked Rachel. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after Bruce. Rachel was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was lovely to see how happy and settled Bruce was with their boxer boy Quin and we knew Bruce was being really well cared for. Rachel even gave Bruce a bath. He is lovely, soft and clean! Thank you so much, Rachel, for looking after Bruce so well. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and will definitely be using you again! ❤️
Lucy was absolutely lovely with my dog and made me feel really at ease. She was so caring and understanding, especially when my plans changed last minute, and I really appreciated how flexible she was. My dog seemed so happy with her, and I’d definitely book her again!
Really lovely experience from start to finish! Candi was able to accommodate us at very short notice and was so welcoming, caring and reassuring. She sent lots of lovely pictures and messages, which was so nice to see. I was initially a little worried as my dog has had very little contact with cats. My dog definitely still has a some work to do in this area, but Candi was very understanding and reassuring. Would definitely recommend and happily use her again! 🐾❤️
I am so happy that I have found Sammy, she genuinely loves dogs, this isn’t just a job for her. she looked after my boy like he was her own, and I’m so grateful, I was able to go away on holiday knowing that he was safe and loved whilst I wasn’t there, and I didn’t worry once. Sammy regularly updated me with photos and videos, and I could see for myself how happy Jax was. Thank you Sammy, I will definitely be using your wonderful services again, and I couldn’t recommend her more!
Our first time using Rover and Germaine was great with our reactive lurcher, Rocky. He stayed with her for 10 days and she was so accommodating of his various quirks and the idea of taking him to a secure field as we are still working on his reactivity. Rocky seemed immediately comfortable with her and had a great stay. She sent lovely regular photo and video updates. Overall, great! So so grateful.
Beyza is a very loving sitter who makes sure your dog's needs are met at all times. She can accommodate long period requests last-minute, which is a life saver for anyone with emergencies. She also has a lovely and well trained puppy, so your dog will never have a dull moment during their stay!
We left our Samoyed with David for about two weeks while we were away on holiday. Due to unforeseen circumstances, our dog had to be dropped off from a friend's house rather than directly from our home, and I was quite worried about the handover. However, David was very accommodating and made the process much easier than I had anticipated. David's communication was good throughout, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It would have been lovely to receive a few more photos and updates, but I appreciate that caring for the dogs keeps him busy. Simba seemed happy and well cared for when we returned, and we are grateful for David's help.
Amanda looked after my dog, Toby, for a week and everything went really smoothly. Toby seemed to have a lot of fun and get a lot of attention from her and her family. I would highly recommend Amanda as a dog sitter to anyone. She knows what she's doing and was very friendly and professional throughout, giving me regular updates during the week. I'm already planning on using her services again soon.
Sarah was an amazing dog sitter for Axel. She kept us updated throughout with lots of photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Axel was clearly very happy and well looked after. We would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and we’ll definitely be using her again in the future!
Felt very comfortable leaving my anxious dog Coco with Brittany who kept us updated with pictures and comments during the day. We had arranged a short meet and greet beforehand which was useful and reassuring as I could see this was an environment Coco would feel settled in.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 15,265 sitters in Crawley, 57% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
