“Lovely lady, very accommodating to my last minute booking. Our dog clearly felt very at home with her and was clearly well cared for. We have already booked in for him to have another visit :)”
“We left our 18 month old cockapoo with Maria and Helen for 2 days and they took such lovely care of him. They kept us updated with lots of cute pictures and we'll definitely be using them again!”
“Norris loved his stay! He was a bit scared of the husky’s at first, but he settled really quickly then had a great time! He loved how active the house was, and he’s come home for a rest 😄”
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.
“A fantastic dog sitter a big thank you to Jason, Jess and of course Josie for sharing their home with Otis. We felt very comfortable leaving Otis with them and he loved his stay with you. We would recommend to others.”
“Excellent service and made Luna feel right at home! Have no worries leaving your pooch with Candi, she treats them very well and has no hesitations with giving any regular medication if required. Will definitely use again for another stay when the time comes! Thank you”
About: I have had doggies most of my life, they are my world, my children. I currently have 2 wonderful special rescue's Aspin and Odi. I have looked after many doggies since i have had them and haven't had any problems at all, as i have baby gates and experience with slow gentle introduction so all fluffs are safe and happy. My garden is large and beautiful, with trees and bushes to get lost in dig and have mad zoomies. I have a pool that they can dip into when it gets warm. There is 2 lovely large fields within walking distance and the beautiful Tilgate Park and forest which we use often. From the time you drop them off to when you pick them up, they will be showered with kisses and cuddles, they will be allowed to have sofa cuddles and snuggles at night in bed. I will send you lots of pictures and videos while your away to make you smile, they will be part of our family, staying in a calm quiet space. The doggies are i hope to hear from you. I work from home so I will always be with your beloved animal. ♥️ if I do go out it would be for very small amount of time or they will be accompanying me but I will generally clear my schedule when I have an animal come to stay My garden is large and very established lots of adventures to be had. Fields and parks are very local so lots to sniff and explore.
“Germaine was brilliant - she’ll stepped up at super short notice to help with my dog Frenchie. Great communication throughout and picked up a calm and happy dog. Really appreciated and highly recommended. Wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Arlo had a lovely time and met some new friends, even tho it was a very last minute booking and they had never met, he seemed very content. I also received photo updates which I loved seeing. Thank you Bronn :)”
“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.”
“Craig and his family are lovely and took such good care of Herbert. We received great communication with photos and videos showing him having a good time. He was taken on long walks and seems to have had a wonderful time playing with Piper. Our only concern was that Herbert wouldn’t want to come home!”
“Mayzie was absolutely amazing with Douglas! She was super responsive and friendly with communication beforehand and sent regular updates while Douglas was with her and he came home a very happy boy. Thank you!”
“Our usual dog sitter has moved away too far so found Alisha on here. So glad we found her! Luna and Murphy have got on soo well. She’s very playful and full on and Murphy is so chilled and accepts her. Alisha was so good when meeting Luna and Luna instantly liked her. She can be a bit funny with men but also instantly liked Alisha’s husband, Dan. Really appreciated Alisha doing a meet and greet and having Luna for a free daycare to ensure Luna was comfortable. She’s also helped to work on Luna’s recall and heel walking. Would definitely recommend Alisha and will use her as our sitter now!”
“I highly recommend Carly and her lovely family. I contacted her at short notice to request an overnight stay for my French Bulldog. Communication was excellent - Carly sent message/photo updates to put my mind at rest. Lovely to now have a local, trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you Carly and family 💗”
“Charlotte provided excellent care for our Ozzy. We felt she was very knowledgeable and felt totally at ease leaving him there for a night. She is very responsive and kept us informed. Lots of play and walks. Would definitely recommend her and Ozzy is looking forward to his next stay! :)”
“Absolutely brilliant! Lottie had a fantastic time. Pictures and videos were sent regularly to let us know what she was getting up to while we were away. Will definitely use Claudia again.”

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!
Candi saved our entire summer trip! After our first booking didn't work out at the last minute, Candi immediately agreed to take our dog Holly even though it was late at night. Holly settled in there immediately, and judging by the photos that Candi sent us daily, had the most wonderful time. I think she is missing Candi and the fun at Candi's house still!!
I contacted Lucy for an ad hoc dog sitting service while we were visiting Haywards Heath for a wedding. After explaining what we were looking for, she couldn’t have been more accommodating. Lucy collected Inky from our accommodation, allowing plenty of time for us to meet her and her partner and for them to get to know him before we headed off. As we were already at the wedding venue when it was time for Inky to come home, Lucy took the time to discuss where he could stay in the house, what needed to be left out for him, and made sure everything was sorted. Throughout the day, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind, and let us know as soon as Inky was safely back home. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better service. Lucy is professional, friendly, reliable, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely loves dogs. Thank you again, Lucy! 😊🐾
Our boy loved his stay with his uncle T! We were given regular updates and Jiggles looked like he was having a lot of fun on some great walks. He has come home a tired and very relaxed boy :) he also has daily eye medication and a strict diet due to allergies, and this was no problem for Taleb. Taleb is so lovely and an experienced dog person - I’d have no problem recommending him to others, and I’m sure we’ll be having him as a dog sitter again in the future 😁
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.
I was very anxious about leaving my dog for the first time to go on holiday. But there is absolutely no need. Daria kept me informed every day with photographs and videos. It was a great comfort to know he was being so well looked after and certainly looked as if he was enjoying himself the interaction with her children and her other dogs was fantastic hatch my dog became one of the family. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to ask Daria to take care of him again

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Crawley on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 14,613 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Crawley. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 South East England 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 .
