“Candi was a very responsive host quickly replying and helping to make the process easy. She obviously cares about animals and Teddy despite it being his first time away from his parents coped well and seemed happy. Have already booked his second visit. Would definitely recommend,”
“Lucy and her family accepted Chewie into their homes and he settled in really quickly. They took great care of him and made sure he had lots of enrichment. She communicated well throughout the day and responded quickly to requests. I would definitely book with Lucy again and recommend her highly.”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and have shared my home with all sorts of pets over the years, including a Cocker Spaniel, cats, hamsters and tortoises. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, settled and loved while they're away from their owners. Whether it's sticking to a familiar routine or just plenty of cuddles, I'll always treat your dog as if they were one of my own. I have a five-year-old Cockerpoo called Daisy, who weighs around 10kg. She's wonderfully friendly and brilliant with other dogs — there's nothing she loves more than heading to the park for a walk with her doggy friends, so she'd be lovely company for any pup coming to stay.. I offer both doggy day care and overnight boarding for small to medium dogs (up to 10kg). I am happy to follow your dog's usual routine and send you regular updates, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing they're in safe, loving hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home, which gives me a high level of flexibility and availability throughout the day. On a daily basis, I’m able to build pet care into my normal schedule without any disruption. During the working day, I’m present for regular check-ins and reassurance, short play sessions or quick walks, monitoring behaviour, health, and comfort, maintaining feeding schedules or giving medication if needed. Your dog's safety and happiness will always come first. I only look after small to medium dogs up to 10kg, which keeps playtime gentle and nicely matched, and I am very happy to follow any instructions you have around food, medication or little habits so your dog feels right at home. My home is a calm and friendly place where dogs are treated as one of the family rather than just a guest. Your dog will have plenty of cosy spots to relax in, lots of company from my friendly Cockerpoo Daisy, and regular walks to the local park for some fresh air and a good sniff about. I know it can be hard leaving your dog with someone new, so I’ll send you plenty of photos and updates while they're with me. You can head off knowing they're safe, settled and thoroughly spoiled until you're back together.
“Once again we would be lost without Pitcha looking after Wilfred. He always has the best time when he goes to stay and he loves seeing all his friends! Pitcha makes sure to send lots of updates and the photos and videos are always great to see! Pitcha is very caring and looks after our boy as if he were her own! Thank you 🥰”
“Lola absolutely loves her time with Taleb! As an energetic puppy, Taleb gives Lola the love, time and attention that she needs when we are unable to due to work & I know she is happy and having the best day with him. He is so great with giving each different breed the care that they need & you can tell how much the dogs love him! He is also super flexible & very quick to come back to requests. Highly recommend!!”
“Daria and her lovely furry companions did a great job at making Nero feel welcome whilst I was attending a local garden party. Daria was very responsive and sent photos of Nero enjoying playing with her other 2 pups. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again!”
“Amazing, Milo enjoyed every minute with Fe and we were confident in leaving Milo for the first time in Fe's care. Thank You, you made our day away as stress free as possible.”
“Lovely day care for my boy Albus! Received updates throughout the day of the nice day he was having! Received a happy and tired boy at the end of the day! Would highly recommend to anyone”
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.
“Missy had a great stay with Carly and her lovely family. She came back home relaxed and totally chilled after her stay.Lots of photo updates throughout her stay. Would highly recommend Carly”
“Absolutely fantastic couple that take amazing care of Molly. She pull's me straight back every time after the meet and greet and always comes home tired from having fun with Murphy. Cant recommend enough a lovely couple with alot of time and knowledge about keeping your little family member safe and entertained.”
“Sophia & her family are lovely. They looked after our very energetic Cockapoo for the day he was played with, had a long walk & fed his dinner. He came home very happy & very tired, so slept well. Sophia was very accommodating with everything from the initial meeting, timings on the day & with all discussions leading up to the day care. I would happily recommend Sophia & use her again for my dogs day care. Thank you Sophia & family x”
“I booked Nahla with Sophie at the very last minute, and she was kind enough to accept looking after my baby girl on a Sunday. She kept me updated throughout the day with a few messages, which really put my mind at ease. Nahla came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sophie again. Thank you! 🥰”
“Sarah and family accepted a request at very short notice and are lovely - Syd really enjoyed a rainy day at their house playing with their equally lovely cocker spaniel, Ivy. Thanks, Sarah!”
About: I’ve worked in various doggy daycare and walking environments with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I love dogs and training. I also have experience with cat sitting and I own two kittens. Feeding, bathing, walking, playing, training. Some senior/disabled dog experience I am signed off 9-5 work due to medical reasons but dogs and animals have been my sanctuary from the struggles of life my entire life. I am willing and able to walk, care and provide companionship for your wonderful pets I’m canine first aid trained. I’ve got experience of working beneath an animal behaviourist and dog trainer. I will follow all directions given by owners including but not limited to muzzle usage, crating when unattended and walking on lead/long-line only For boarding in my house, any pets will be required to be cat friendly as I have two myself. Lower energy dogs preferred but can manage medium if need be I am signed off work due to disability, but animals are my reason for getting up in the morning. My cats are the most spoilt, yet well cared for, beasties. Their needs are priority number 1 and, so will any of your furbabies. My flat is secure, and while I lack a garden, there are multiple grassy areas nearby that they can be walked to. A crate would need to be provided if that is a requirement for your pooch, but I am happy to allow any pet on my furniture. The only requirement for home-boarding is that they be cat friendly as my kitty’s safety comes first
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.
“This is the second visit that Izzy has had with Carolyn and her lovely family. Carolyn was a lifesaver and helped me out with a last-minute request for doggy daycare. Izzy was right at home and is now snuggled up sleeping. Thanks so much 😁🐕”

I had a great experience with this dog daycare! My dog was happy, well cared for, and settled in quickly. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout the day, which gave me peace of mind. It was clear my dog received plenty of attention, care, and affection. I came home to a relaxed and happy pup. I would definitely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog daycare.
Alexandra was a great sitter and super communicative! She kept me updated about buddy and treated him like one of her own. Buddy came back home happier and exhausted from a full day of play! She's was also very very accommodating, as we were very late for both drop off and pick up. Hoeevrr she didn't complain once and instead worked with us to sort it out
Candi is fantastic. She saved me last minute and took moon for the day. Kept me updated with photos & videos. Moon had a blast meeting some new friends. When Candi returned Moon, Moon did not want to leave her car. Thanks so much and you will definitly be on speed dial moving forward. Excellent
T is a fantastic guy and brilliant with our girl Luna! He kept us updated with photos and videos of her day and provided some really helpful advice and tips having spent the whole day with her. She’s looking forward to her next stay and we are very happy to have found such a great person to look after her! Thanks T 👍
Our little dog went to Claudia for the first time today for day care and we were very impressed. Claudia sent me lots of photos and videos of Molly throughout the day which was lovely. Molly seemed settled when we left her too. Will definitely use Claudia again. Thank you!
Tara was really excellent with Zeus giving lots of walks fuss and attention, and it’s are to say our Zeus has found a best Friend Arlo that do everything together almost inseparable. Tara kept a detailed diary of all of the activities Zeus did and sent lots of pictures and videos to see what he was doing through out the day. Thanks again for taking Excellent care of Zeus we will definitely be booking again in the near future

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

There are 15,638 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Crawley. About 87% of Crawley 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 Crawley 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 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.
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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
