“Laura and her partner were too good. They got very friendly with my pet on the first day. I was really happy that I booked her. She took care of Rocco like her own pet. He enjoyed being with them. He had his play time also had a good walk with them. I would highly recommend them for others. Really happy with them. I’m looking forward to book them in the future.”
“Thanks to Ferdinand and family - Remy had a great time staying for the weekend. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos, and are so happy that Remy was welcomed like a member of the family. Remy loved the attention, walks, and lots of ball games! He is looking forward to seeing you again soon.”
“We left our dog, Monty, with Mauricio for a week while we were abroad and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He and the family treated Monty like part of the family and even celebrated his birthday while we were away, which was such a thoughtful touch. They bought him presents and made him a cake (made of chicken) and sent us photos and videos on the day so we didn’t feel like we were missing out too much. We were kept updated with regular messages and photos throughout the week, giving us complete peace of mind. Thank you, Mauricio, for taking such wonderful care of Monty, it looked as though he had a lovely time. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and use you again.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Jacqueline. First time using the app so was a little worried, but Jacqueline really put our minds on ease, and we did a meet and greet beforehand. It was clear from the start that Benji would be in great hands. He had such a fun time, and Benji got to experience Jacquelines daughters football match, and heard he was the talk of the game lol. We're so thankful for the care and attention Benji got and highly recommend if your looking for someone trustworthy and loving! Thanks so much!”

She made some lovely friends both 2 and four legged. Would not hesitate to leave her in such genuinely loving card again whenever we need. Thank so very much.”

He felt at home straight away. I will definitely bring Fidel back to Michelle and highly recommend the complete package that she offers.”

About: I've always love animals and have experiences for caring for animals through looking after pets for friends and family whether if its for a day event or longer! I'm responsible for keeping them fed, taking them for walks, giving them plenty of attention and making sure they're happy and comfortable whilst their owner is away. I'm currently taking a gap year, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I'm available most days and can be flexible around your pet's routine. I'm happy to spend plenty of time with your pets, whether that's walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping them company. I'm happy to care for your pooch in the comfort of their own home, doing this i believe it will keep them in their usual routine and surroundings. I'll always treat your home with respect and make sure your pets feel safe, happy and comfortable whilst your away. I'm also happy to follow and specific instructions you leave for feeding, walks, medication and anything else they need.
About: We have our own 2 year old Toy Poodle, Toastie who absolutely loves meeting and playing with other dogs so your pup may even make a new best friend! Our home is a calm, dog friendly environment where we aim to keep your dog’s normal routine as much as possible. We’re happy to follow your instructions around meals, walks, sleeping arrangements, medication and any little routines that help your dog feel comfortable and settled. Meet & Greet First Before accepting a booking, we’d like to meet you and your dog first. This is important to us because we want to make sure your dog is comfortable in our home and that they’re a good fit with Toastie too. We’ll take a little time to get to know their personality, how they interact with other dogs, their energy levels and any particular needs they may have. Our priority is that all the dogs in our care feel safe, happy and relaxed. We’d also love to hear about your dog’s normal routine what they eat, when they sleep, how often they go out, what they enjoy, and any quirks or rituals they have! What Your Dog Can Expect * A home environment rather than a kennel * Someone at home throughout the day * Plenty of affection, attention and companionship * Playtime and interaction with Toastie, where appropriate * Regular toilet breaks and walks appropriate to your dog * Their usual feeding routine wherever possible * Plenty of rest and quiet time when they need it * Photo/video updates during their stay, so you can see how they’re getting on * Individual attention and care based on your dog’s personality and needs * A genuine effort to make them feel like part of the family We understand that every dog is different. Some want to play all day, some prefer a quiet corner and some need a little extra reassurance when they’re away from their owners. We’ll always try to work with their individual personality rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. Additional Services We’re also happy to accommodate requests that fall outside our standard care for an additional fee. We’re very happy to discuss your dog’s individual needs before booking and agree any additional charges with you in advance, so there are no surprises. A Few Things We’d Like to Know When you enquire, please tell us about your dog, including: * Their age, breed and personality * How they are with other dogs * Their normal feeding routine * Their exercise requirements * Whether they are house-trained * Any medications or health considerations we need to be aware of * Any fears, triggers or behaviours we should know about * Their sleeping arrangements * Any favourite toys, treats or comforts * Any routines or little rituals that make them feel at home Come and meet us and Toastie, we’d love to see if we’re the right home away from home for your pup! My wife (Kim) and I are home throughout the day, so we’re able to give your dog plenty of attention, care and companionship. We offer weekday doggy day care, walks and boarding, as well as weekends OR longer term boarding for dogs whose owners are going away on holiday or need care for an extended period. Every dog is treated as an individual, with their own needs, routines and personality taken into consideration. We provide a calm, caring and attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled. Our home has a secure, fenced garden, as well as baby gates on each floor, allowing pets to have their own space and time to relax while also keeping them safe and supervised.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Alfie! From start to finish, the care and attention he received were top-tier. We were kept updated constantly with sweet notes and photos showing how settled and happy he was, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Alfie was clearly adored and treated like family. We will definitely be booking again—thank you so much!
Natalia is amazing, I knew the moment I met her that she was the right person to take care of my dog, you can see she loves animals and she instantly bonded with Rowan. I had regular updates through pictures and when I collected my dog I could tell that she had been looked after. Should the need arise I will be using Natalia again. 🙂
If I could give 10 stars, I would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bilqees and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog Muni! From the very first meet and greet, we knew they would be the perfect family and home for him to stay with. Muni stayed with Bilqees and her family for six nights, and we received daily updates and photos, so we always knew how he was doing. It was clear that Muni felt completely at home, and we knew he was being loved and well looked after. 🥰 Bilqees made us feel so at ease and gave us complete confidence that Muni was in the best hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and will definitely be returning. 🙂 Bilqees, thank you so much again for taking such wonderful care of Muni. We really appreciate everything you did for him. ❤️ x
Thank you Kevin, Denise and family for looking after Alfie for us for the week. From the photos, he certainly looks like he had fun! He slept most of the day when he returned home and was happy to be home. We would certainly book again. We have nothing planned at the moment. We hope you have a lovely Summer. Best wishes Tina, Paul & Alfie.
Thank you so much, Amanda, for taking such great care of Miley! We needed a sitter quite urgently, and Amanda was available and incredibly helpful. Miley stayed for one night and truly felt at home. We really appreciated the regular photo and video updates—it gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with the experience and will definitely reach out to Amanda again in the future!
Hannah is absolutely brilliant,she took excellent care boarding our dog Ronnie and could not have been better with updates and videos during that time ,she and her family were very attentive to our dog and played with him constantly and gave him plenty of mental stimulation (he's a very energetic dog ).Ronnie had a brilliant time there and loved his sleepover :D

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Dartford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dartford on Rover is £34.5 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 14,870 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dartford. 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 .
