Ariam was amazing! She provided feedback daily and helped with looking after Poppy after the booking ended following a personal emergency I had. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you so much Ariam!

Claudia and Calum took such great care of Bailey.. Bailey needs loads of love, cuddles and fun and that is exactly what her got. Couldn’t recommend them enough!. We could enjoy our holiday knowing Bailey was being taken care of so well.

Lorena is very flexible and was able yo accommodate a last minte boarding request. She has a huge garden and great facilities for dogs to run around and play. It looked like our energetic cocker spaniel puppy had a great time playing with all the other dogs. I would not hesitate to book Lorena again!

They stepped in at the very last minute and took amazing care of my dog. Communication was excellent throughout, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. They were kind, reliable, and clearly genuinely care about the dogs they look after. My dog came home happy and well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you so much for helping me out at such short notice! 🐾💛

Jenna was absolutely wonderful with Meesha, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I loved getting lots of updates throughout the day, including plenty of evidence of the blossoming romance between Meesha and Tucker! 😂 I think this may be the beginning of a long-term friendship between them. I’d happily leave Meesha with Jenna again and would highly recommend her.

Clara was excellent with Kuma! We booked a little last minute yet she was more than accommodating. We ended up needing to change Kuma’s pick up time, which she was totally fine with making our overall experience with leaving Kuma in her trust even better! Will definitely be booking again.

Erika has been an absolute blessing! Astro is a senior and can be a little temperamental because of his age, but he did incredibly well with her. She sent frequent updates, including photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind. Astro doesn’t get along with every dog, so seeing him interact and walk so calmly alongside Zucchi was pure zen. Erika is definitely my go-to sitter!

Lina took great care of my dog Milo while I was out of the country for a few days. Very good communication, she sent photos and let me know how he was getting on. You can tell she is really a dog lover herself and understands how to take good care of dogs. I would definitely use Lina again and recommend her to friends

Alicia, her own cocker spaniel Enzo and Alicia’s husband took great care about Noah. From the first meet and greet moment I was 100% sure that Noah will stay as in “home away from home” - he could play with Enzo, observe situation in their garden, walk to park, get a nap near cooling fan, sleep in a bed, get his meals on time and be reassured by Alicia’s lovely family that he is in safe hands. Absolutely satisfied with this dog sitter and hope to see her again soon. Highly recommend.

Fergus loves going to Sybilla's family home. He recently stayed for four nights and was cared for like he was their own - with lots of walks, playing in their lovely home (with a huge garden) and quality nap time. Thank you so much for taking great care of him, he cant wait to see you all again soon.

Aneeka is a delight and easy to get on with. She is flexible and adaptable. I have used her services for walking, daycare and overnight stays. I feel comfortable leaving Reeva with her. Much more relevant is that Reeva seems to be very happy to be with her and I am not totally sure she is keen to return back home after her visit.

My dog - Amber stayed with Jack and his wife for 8 nights. They both took great care of her and I could tell from all the photos that she enjoyed staying with them. Jack was excellent at keeping in touch each day and he sent so many excellent photos. Amber is an elderly dog and Jack was very organised and responsible with her medication. Amber is incontinent and Jack gave her excellent care and kept her dry and clean. I would recommend Jack very highly to anyone looking for excellent and caring boarding.

Kady was nothing short of amazing looking after our 6 month old pup, Rio, for an overnight stay. It was our first time using Rover, and she instantly put us at ease with her care, updates, and kindness. Rio came back happy, calm, and well looked after. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again! 10/10

Natalie was absolutely brilliant looking after our dog, Coco. Unfortunately Coco had a bit of an upset stomach while we were away, but Natalie handled it incredibly well and kept us updated throughout. She was so empathetic, kind and genuinely caring with her, which gave us real peace of mind. You can tell she really loves dogs and treats them as if they were her own. Just an all-round lovely person and a fantastic dog sitter. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or have her look after Coco again!

Shannon looked after our dog, Rudy this August. She was brilliant, Rudy was spoilt rotten and had a really good time, so much so, he did not seem that keen to come home when we picked him up. Shannon provided us with lots of updates and was very caring and looked after his every need. I would definitely recommend her and we certainly will try and book her again in the future.

This was the longest I’ve left my dog with Keira and he had the best time ever. I always use Keira to look after my dog, because from the minute I drop him off I know he’s safe and is so well cared for. I got daily updates, messages and photos of my little boy. Even though I miss him, I never have to worry because I know he’s in safe hands. He has friends to play with and plenty of toys and I’m pretty sure he makes himself at home 😂. I will always use Keira and I will not stop recommending her because she truly is an amazing dog sitter!!

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Croydon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Croydon on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 16,115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Croydon. 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 Greater London 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 .
