About: I’m a passionate animal lover and have a special affinity with dogs. I have one back in Italy (who you can see in my pics). I took care of my friends and acquaintances’ dogs when they were away from London with a variety of services going from day care, walks and boarding for shorter and longer periods. I can’t wait to make friends with new lovely pets! On week days I’m available for morning walks, snack breaks on lunch/dinner time, and also evening walks for locations nearby my house. Available at any time during weekends. I live in a flat with a balcony, and different communal areas including a rooftop. There are plenty of areas and parks around to take your friend for a walk and a play.
“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.”
“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”
About: I grew up in a home where dogs were always part of the family, and I adored every single one of them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for three wonderful cats, and today I share my life with a small dog of my own. With this lifelong experience, I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who will look after your furry loved ones as if they were my own. As I work from home, I’m flexible and able to give your pet all the attention and cuddles they need throughout the day. Your furry companion will never be left alone. I don’t offer dog‑walking services, but I do have a secure, fenced garden with plenty of grass—perfect for safe playtime. I live within walking distance to South Croydon train station which allows for easy drop off and pick up.
“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!”
“Salemne took great care of our two dogs. She kept us up to date with videos and they looked like they were having such a fun time. Will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for them both personally and for others. I had my own dog for several years and have also looked after dogs for friends, family and other people. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing with and giving dogs plenty of attention and care. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always make sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable while they’re in my care. I’m at home full-time with my child, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of attention and company throughout the day. I can provide boarding in my home and will make sure your dog has regular playtime, attention and a comfortable routine while you’re away. I provide a calm, caring and safe home environment for dogs staying with me. I have experience caring for dogs and will always follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you provide. I also have a child at home, so I’m happy to discuss your dog’s temperament and needs beforehand to make sure they’re comfortable and settled in our home.
“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'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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 3 years, caring for dogs of small, and medium size. I offer personalised dog walking, and sitting service, tailored to your pets needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the park, or overnight care, I ensure your furry friend will be happy, safe, and well loved. I have a lot of free time away from work. I enjoy walking (a lot), so having some furry company would be nice! In the event that my schedule changes, you will be notified in good time. Immediately, I would get to know your pets personality, and establish a safe and comfortable space. Routine is also imperative, and this would not be compromised. I also know the importance of updates, so you would never have to worry about what your dog is up to! (Regular pictures, and videos can be provided if requested)
“Rachael is great! She came to our rescue at very short notice and clearly loves dogs and animals. She took care of my puppy pooch as if he was her own and managed some very challenging behaviour very well.”

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.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Croydon
Abby was great looking after our Frenchie, Jasper, for the day/evening. We met her and her cutest and sweetest Crumpet a couple of days beforehand, so everything felt very easy on the day. She kept us updated with photos throughout, and I’m sure Jasper had a great time with them. We’ll definitely book her again!
Communication with Ross has been super easy from the start, and Bella settled in very quickly with him. I really like that Ross allows the dogs to be themselves and takes the time to understand their individual personalities, which makes it feel like a real home from home for Bella. His own dog, Piglet, is very gentle and is completely comfortable having other dogs around the house, which also helps create a relaxed environment. I would definitely recommend Ross. In fact, I’ve already rebooked Bella for an overnight stay!
Bjorn and Summer had a great day and were really well looked after. They enjoyed their walk and came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! We really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day as it was lovely to see what they were up to and know they were having a good time. Would definitely book again and would happily recommend to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable to look after their dogs.
I would give Déborah five stars based on my personal experience and needs. Déborah is an easy-to-get-on-with person and is notable in responding incredibly quickly. Sometimes it is measured in seconds. For me personally, I find Déborah ideal for for leaving my dog with for part of the day. A big advantage to me is that she is close to Purley station (which I use a lot) only a couple of minutes away. This makes dropping off and picking up really convenient though this might be less convenient to anyone planning to drop off their dog by car. There is a small park nearby and a small exercise area attached to the property so my dog gets exercised. My dog isn't very excited when I come to pick her up which I normally regard as the ultimate test of success.
Charlotte and her husband were wonderful - made the time and effort to make sure our dogs were happy together. Lady is wonderful and no issues whatsoever. Regular updates throughout the day, and she was so gentle and patient with Tink, made her feel so at home and Tink had a lovely day with plenty of exercise and attention. Super communicative and helpful and understanding when we needed to change plans last minute on a repeat visit. Even went out of her way to help with some awkward logistics from us - can't ask for more when trusting someone with your dog :) Thanks so much guys
Giedre was wonderful with our dog Satoshi! He seemed really happy and settled after his stay with her. We especially appreciated that she could take him at short notice. She sent us regular updates and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. We would definitely book Giedre again without hesitation. Highly recommended!
Calon had a fantastic time with Tatiana, Omar and especially Chloe. They made Calon feel like part of the family. Tatiana sent regular updates and photos (unprompted) which was wonderful to see. We will definitely be booking time again with them. Thank you so much for looking after Calon!
Julia took great care of my dog and was absolutely lovely to deal with. She kept me regularly updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave my dog and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Croydon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Croydon on Rover is £34.5 per day (as of September 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 17,180 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 .
