“The whole experience from beginning to end has been amazing and I would highly recommended Claudia for all pet sitting needs! Miso absolutely loved his time with them both and I will definitely be using them again!”

“This was MJs first time with Lenia and Constantina . He is a very friendly and sociable dog but still young and can be a bit hyper if he is in a new situation or anxious . They both looked after him so well with lots of updates and photos to let me know how he was getting on . He was so happy and calm at the end of the day when I collected him and I’m sure he had an amazing time . They are such lovely people and obviously love dogs . MJ had a fab time and will definitely want to come and stay again - Jas & Vaneeta x”

“I have a very shy border collie who requires a lot of exercise and Andrew not only helped her hit her step counts every day, but also made sure she got tired playing fetch (a rare feat!). He watched her for daycare for a week and she was always excited to see him in the morning, giving him kiss greetings. We will definitely be booking with Andrew again!”

“Ethan and Megan are a lovely couple with a beautiful, well kept home that we felt really comfortable leaving Diego in. They welcomed Diego in and kept us updated regularly during his stay with pictures and to let us know how he was doing. They took him out for walks and he seemed to really enjoy his stay over. Megan and Ethan helped put us at ease throughout Diego's stay over by keeping us updated. We will definitely look to book them again.”


“Padure was fabulous with our young staffie x. She really understood the needs of a bigger younger dog. We have previously been in touch on an urgent occasion where dog care got cancelled on the morning of and Padure was more than happy to help showing how reliable she is. Thanks again!”

About: Pavel (my partner) and I love dogs, and I’ve also discovered that I truly enjoy working with them. In the summer of 2024, a friend entrusted us with her energetic and reactive four-year-old Cockapoo. I took several courses and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to teach him to leave things on the ground, walk nicely on a leash, settle down when needed, greet guests calmly, tolerate grooming and drying, get ready for walks without stress, and stay calm at home. While we saw real progress, it was inconsistent, and after four months, Pavel and I realized we weren’t ready to live in constant stress over Yosi’s setbacks long-term. Yosi found a loving new home, and now we’ve embraced the joy of hosting dogs temporarily — giving them love, attention, and care while their owners are away. I’m currently looking for remote work, so I have plenty of time to play with and keep a pooch entertained when they’re awake and want attention. BEFORE THE STAY Before each stay, I always meet you and your pup so everyone can get comfortable. We’ll take a little walk, see where we’ll be going for strolls, and let your dog explore our home — that way, the first day feels familiar and stress-free. SETTLING IN During the first few days, I stay home full-time so your dog can settle in calmly. If your pup has separation anxiety, I’ll make sure they’re never left alone. CARE & COMFORT I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine — feeding schedule, brushing, medications, supplements, or any little rituals that make them feel secure. If your dog gets anxious around brushes, clippers, or harnesses, I can gently help them get used to those things using only positive reinforcement. WALKS, PLAY & ENRICHMENT At first, our walks are all about exploring, sniffing, and getting to know the neighborhood. Once your dog feels safe with us, I add more fun and challenge — fetch, tug games, trick training, and scent games for mental stimulation. I always walk dogs on a long leash (never a retractable one), and if you don’t have one, I’ve got one ready. When your dog reliably responds to my voice — and with your permission — we can enjoy some safe off-leash time in the park. ESSENTIALS FOR YOUR PUP 🛋 Dog sofa 🦮 5-meter leash 🚰 Water bottle for long walks 🧴 Duoxo S3 shampoo for safe clean-ups 🧩 Lick mat & Kong to help your dog relax ❄️ Cooling mat for hot days 🚗 Car hammock & safety belt (for harness use only) for comfortable rides out of town
“Bofrot had such a wonderful time with Lishan. She not only took amazing care of him but also went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, played and rested well throughout the day. As a first-time puppy owner, I really appreciated how patient and knowledgeable she was. She shared genuinely helpful advice and updates that made me feel completely at ease. It’s so clear that she truly loves and understands dogs. I can’t recommend Lishan enough. Bofrot came home happy, relaxed and full of tail wags!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs, and have a beautiful frenchie of my own called Hugo. I’ve always been around dogs of all ages from a young age. Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home for the majority of the week and if I’m needed in office my days are flexible so I can accommodate different days each week. I have a fully enclosed garden that the dogs can run around in and have fun. We have cameras set up as well for extra security. We have multiple dog beds and can get something specific if required.
About: Hi! I’m originally from Australia and have had dogs my entire life, growing up with both Boxers and Border Collies. I’ve been living in England for the last three years and really miss having a dog around. Friends and family have often relied on me to look after their pets, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities and energy levels. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved. I’m a teacher with a flexible schedule outside of school hours and during holidays, giving me plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, drop-ins, or simply keeping your dog company, I’ll work around their usual routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I have a secure fenced garden and always prioritise your dog’s safety and comfort. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medication and crate training if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well looked after. 🐾
“I can’t recommend Salemne highly enough. Her family looked after my Fred so well, making sure he stayed cool on this crazy hot day, playing with him and he returned home a very happy pup. They picked him up super punctually, even at 7am! I trusted them and felt very comforted that he was safe and well looked after in their care. Thank you!”


About: At the age of 8 I had my first dog, an English Springer Spaniel and continued to have dogs until just a few years ago when my last beloved passed away. I have loved and cared for dogs nearly my entire life including puppies and senior dogs. I hand reared 5 orphaned puppies and raised them to adulthood. I have vast experience with large breed dogs with mine having been German Shepherd and Dogue De Bordeaux Mastiff crosses. I have experience with administering medication and muzzle training with reward based training. If doggy day care is required, your dog will receive up to 2 walks within the day. I am at home daily and my child will be at school weekdays, so your dog will have my undivided attention. If overnight boarding is booked I will provide up to 3 walks per day, depending on the individual dogs needs. I will generally only need to be out briefly for school runs and groceries during weekdays. I have a good sized fenced garden with lawn and I live right beside a park. Do let me know what your dog likes and dislikes regarding walks. Are they reward based trained? (treat trained). Do they react to other dogs, cats or people? I live with my child and husband so it is essential that the dog is calm and not reactive if they are to be boarded in my home. Meeting a dog beforehand must be arranged.
About: Hi, I’m Justina! I’m a huge pet lover and absolutely adore little pets of all kinds. While I’m still waiting for the day I have my own furry buddy, I’m very happy filling that space by caring for family, friends, and new clients’ pets as if they were my own. What I offer 🐾 Dog walks tailored to your fur baby — from slow, sniff-heavy strolls to energetic power walks that end in a satisfied flop onto the floor.

My preferred service: House Sitting I especially love house sitting, as I truly believe pets are happiest and most relaxed in their own familiar environment. Staying in their own home means: 🐾 Less stress and disruption to their routine 🐾 Familiar smells, sounds, and sleeping spots 🐾 No need to adjust to a new space. Your pet gets comfort and consistency, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe and settled at home. Please let me know if your pet has any specific requirements. I’m reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home. When caring for your pet, I provide a calm, cozy, and loving environment. Pets are always supervised, given fresh water, plenty of affection, and treated with love and affection that they deserve. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet with patience, warmth, and genuine love—especially in the comfort of their own home—I’d love to help 💛🐶🐱 I work in the office twice per week however I am very flexible and happy to change my office days if needed. Flexible with my time. I offer a calm, cozy environment with plenty of space for rest, and cuddles. Pets are supervised, given fresh water, and lots of affection. I keep things clean and safe, with comfy places for naps and a quiet atmosphere for anxious pets. I do not have any other pets in the house and your pet will be the only pet with me. I live in the flat.
“Alex and Mykal could not have been any more accommodating of my little dog - asking all the right questions even before the Meet & Greet (she has medical needs) where they made plenty of time for us, paired with frequent updates during her stay, I’m always reassured my dog is in very good hands. Taking great care of introductions and day-to-day care, they’re very diligent and super kind and personable pet lovers, a great fit for us! Thank you 🙏”

About: I grew up having various pets, including a family dog, from a young age. My career held me back from owning my own dog until my working life changed pre-pandemic, which is when I started adding dogs to my family to help satisfy my love of dogs. My first dog is a Weimaraner who came to us as a puppy. After socialising and training him myself, from 8 weeks old, I added a Doberman to our family. She was rescued in 2022 after being handed into a dog pound, and after over coming some expected issues, she settled into my family perfectly with all family members and our resident dog. Unfortunately, in May 2026, she unexpectedly passed away. Friends, family and neighbours often rely on me to help look after and train their own dogs, so I can confidently say i can handle any dog, regardless of breed or size. I would love to add more dogs to my family but practicality and cost won't allow me to, so, with my sensible head on, I'm offering to look after others dogs so whilst allowing others to have confidence that their dog is well looked after whilst they are away from home, I also get my dog fix 😁 I am an emergency foster for a breed specific rescue, so do sometimes have another dog in my residence. I've attended various online dog training courses including dog first aid. To make sure your dog gets the full attention it deserves, we only walk 2 dogs at any one time, unless we are attending a private secure location. Sole dog walking is available if required and we welcome reactive or nervous dogs. We dont discriminate against breed or size. If you are after someone confident with your dog who is reliable and able to follow your requirements needs when it comes to taking care of your dog, please do reach out. Please note, we would always do a meet and greet before confirming any bookings. I work from home so am flexible with bookings that work around my diary. This makes me available practically 24-7, as long as my diary allows. I have ample space in my home, but your dog MUST be acquainted with my resident dog before this can happen. My own dog is crate trained, although mainly sleeps in his bed. We have a room specific for the dogs if needed, and the outside space has a full walled back garden
About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life, currently a mom of two cats and a lovely dog. From a young age, I’ve naturally taken on the role of pet caregiver, feeding, walking, bathing and even administering basic medications when needed. I’ve always been the one friends and family turn to when they need someone reliable and loving to look after their pets. Whether it’s keeping a puppy entertained or making sure older pets are comfortable and well cared for, I do it with genuine affection and attention to their individual needs. I work from home full-time, which allows me to give your pet the time, attention and companionship they need throughout the day. My routine is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether that’s early morning drop-offs, midday walks, or overnight stays. I’m happy to care for pets in my own home, where I’ve created a calm and pet-friendly environment, or I can come to yours if your pet is more comfortable staying in their familiar surroundings. Since I work remotely, I’m always nearby to give cuddles, toilet breaks, and playtime whenever it’s needed. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a safe, loving home with a securely fenced decking, where they can explore and play freely. I have a gentle and well-socialised dog who gets along brilliantly with others, and I always introduce pets slowly and mindfully to make sure everyone feels at ease. If I’m looking after your pet in your home, I’ll bring my dog with me, and I’ll make sure both pets are comfortable, supervised, and settled. I’m happy to use crates if needed, and can follow any routine you have in place, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or special instructions. My dog is crate trained and very well behaved, I am experienced in training dogs tricks and good behaviour. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness are always my top priorities.
“I thought I’d be very nervous leaving Saatchi for the first time. But after meeting Natalia and Alex it was clear he would be in safe hands. They treated him like their own, he was so happy and had obviously had a lot of fun. I highly recommend Natalia and Alex and will absolutely be a repeat client!”

Stanley had the best day with Olivia and Sebastian. Olivia sent photo updates and kept in touch during the day and even took time out to do a quick meet and greet prior to the day care. Stanley will absolutely be spending the day with them both again soon. Thanks Olivia!

Andrew has been absolutely incredible with our sensitive puppy, Kimi. He took the time to get to know him and find out what his needs are ahead of booking in for the first time, which really put our minds at ease. It was the first time we left Kimi with someone from Rover, but Andrew was clear, confident and communicated well throughout the whole process. He was patient and kind and it showed when we brought Kimi back for a second visit, he was so excited to see Andrew. He respects his space and the fact that he was a bit nervous to begin with. We’d highly recommend Andrew and know we’ve found someone we can leave our boy with. Thank you Andrew!

Ethan and Megan are a lovely couple with a beautiful, well kept home that we felt really comfortable leaving Diego in. They welcomed Diego in and kept us updated regularly during his stay with pictures and to let us know how he was doing. They took him out for walks and he seemed to really enjoy his stay over. Megan and Ethan helped put us at ease throughout Diego's stay over by keeping us updated. We will definitely look to book them again.

5🌟 - honestly wish I could go higher! Couldn’t ask for more from a sitter. Julia was so lovely, she let me into her lovely home and was so great with penny. She got her settled and calm as I left. She was very communicative all day and sent lovely photos. Would highly recommend 🫶

Abby is a warm and wonderful host who took such great care of our 8 month old pup Georgia! We were a last minute booking and am so happy to have found her. Abby is thoughtful, communicative and sent plenty of pictures of Georgia (and Crumpet) having a lovely time together in the neighborhood and in her garden. Would highly recommend and hope to use again soon! Thanks Abby!

Vida and I have been so fortunate to come across Triantafyllia on Rover. Vida is such a precious little Dachshund and it is hard for both of us to let each other out sight. Trianta and Fyllia put my mind at rest. When I collected Vida, she had had a great day, full of walks and play times with her toys. I had no hesitation in making a reservation again. I can thoroughly recommend both or either Trianta or Fyllia again, but please not on the days when I need them. 😉

I booked Celia very last minute as my previous day care fell through at the last minute. She was very responsive and from our first few messages I knew she was going to be great. On the day, she took amazing care of my dachshund, particularly in these hot London temperatures. I can not recommend Celia enough and will definitely have her in the front of my mind next time I need to find someone to look after my dog!

Micah and his wife took amazing care of my dog while I was working. They kept Villa happy with playtime, walks, and naps. More importantly their house was cool during the London heatwave. Couldn’t recommend Micah more highly and very happy with the care and attention.

Cookie ran into Nicky’s without a backward glance at me and had a wonderful time as always. Nicky made sure Cookie was kept cool in the heat and even put out a paddling pool for her in the shade, which unfortunately she wouldn’t go near!! I was kept informed and sent photos during the day.

Gabrielle took wonderful care of our dog, Lady, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, she was friendly, reliable, and clearly loves dogs. Lady was happy, relaxed, and well looked after throughout her stay, and we really appreciated the updates and photos that kept us reassured while we were away. It's obvious that Gabrielle goes above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and cared for. We would have no hesitation in booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Gabrielle, for taking such great care of Lady!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Croydon on Rover is £34.5 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 16,919 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Croydon. About 87% of Croydon 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 Croydon 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 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.
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 .
