About: I've been around dogs of different kinds all of my life. Looking after friends and family dogs, feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, cuddling ;) Cuddles on the sofa, zoomies or walks in the park dogs I enjoy it all! I'm a Personal Assistant who is lucky enough to work from home. I started my career working with children in schools, I was then Cabin Crew for a short while, until I found a job I love. DBS checked ✅ Historically First Aid trained including advanced aviation med (certificates lapsed) I am not quite in a position to have my own but I'd love to help care for your pooch. Most of the week I work from home. I am normally in the office one day a week and will be out of the house for around 10hrs so would avoid have visitors, as I have no one to pop in to let them out. Weekends I am home or local to home. There are no other pets or children in the house. I have a large kitchen which is safe for dogs, which leads out onto a secure paved fenced garden. I have multiple walks local to my house, with the Peak District a short drive away for longer walks.

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart and I have experience with different breeds. I’ve always been around dogs and other animals and love caring for them. Our house has a lovely big garden and a separate area inside for dogs who might want their own space. I am currently at home during school hours so have plenty of time to play with your dogs and take them on walks. Boarding is available during the week and weekends. I have a large, fenced garden and one dog called Nettle who loves to play. However, there is a separate area for dogs who might want their own space. Our house is on a private road and in a quiet area with walks from the doorstep or a very short drive to gorgeous Peak District countryside.
About: I've been a dog owner for over 15 years and have done Rover in the past. I'm a relaxed dog sitter that understands dog behaviour and I would never use any form of punishment training. Your dog will be looked after like they are my own with care and kindness. I work mainly from home but have a routine with my own large rescue dog that is usually first thing in the morning and around 4-5pm. I can offer regular walks around these times, some doggy day care (Ollie loves having friends to play with!) and also occasional dog boarding. I do sometimes leave the house for work for around 4 hours so boarding will need to be arranged upfront and for dogs that are ok to be left for a while. I have a secure garden at home and a van that I can collect your dog in to take on walks - we usually go for an hour to the woods or moors and Ollie loves company!
“Lucy is extremely human and dog friendly ;0) She welcomed our dogs in her home and listened to our dog’s needs. Our dogs were very happy and relaxed with Lucy. We would definitely book Lucy again Thank you x”

About: Ever since a child we’ve had family dogs and cats. At one time we had 4 dogs, 12 cats, 2 horses and a 50 Holstein heifers! I love all kind of animals, wide knowledge with different breeds of dogs. I have veterinary care knowledge, and experience in dog behaviour. I’ve currently got two dogs, one cocker spaniel and one Labrador. They’re full of energy, happy and enthusiastic. That’s exactly what I love about them! I work full time on a dairy farm, available in the mornings and evenings. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I am available all day to allow dogs to board. I have two fenced/walled gardens which are thoroughly secure. I have two dogs at home, they are dog friendly and love to play. Toilet breaks are available 0-2 hours. We live on a farm, so therefore there’s endless fields to walk through safely.

“Peggy had a lovely afternoon with Meisha and was very well looked after, with lots of activities and cuddles to keep her happy. The house and garden are 100% dog friendly and safe and I have no hesitation in recommending Meisha. Peggy will be staying again very soon.”

“David was clearly a dog lover and both dogs seemed happy to go back on the second day. David was very good at communicating and sent photos of Leo and Poppy. I would not hesitate to recommend David nor leave Leo and Poppy with David again.”

About: Hi, I am Natalie I have a little Tibetan Spaniel called Bella, she is a massive part of our family and there is never a dull moment when she is around. She turns the incredible age of 18 in November! She does go to my parents as she is a family pet so this isn't a issue if dogs dont get on she will go to my mum and dad's house. I have a great experience with animals, often rescuing wild injured animals and also being a voulenteer for The Guide Dogs in chesterfield. I have owned hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, budgies and dogs. I love hiking, yoga and swimming. I also have a big passion for travel our recent trip being America and visiting Yellowstone and Montana seeing the beautiful grizzly bears with their babies. Your beautiful fur babies are in the best hands with me and will get treat like part of the family ! I also do a lot of hiking so am happy to take the dogs out with me too if wanted. I am currently working part time so will have plenty of time for your animals, I like to board mostly over the weekend but this is not always an absolute must. I have a lovely fenced secure garden for your pooches to play in. We also have stairgates top and bottom, our dog is elderly so we had these put in place to reduce the risks of falls. A big open plan kitchen and dinner for the animals to have lots of space in.
“The first time I have used doggy day care and I couldn't be happier. I was nervous beforehand, but didn't need to be. The communication leading up to the first stay was excellent and very reassuring. I felt like there was genuine interest in my dog (Gracie) and what would make her happy and settled. Needless to say, Gracie was absolutely fine and had obviously had a fun and stimulating day in Hayley's care. Strongly recommend.”

“We left Patti with Aneta for the first time and had a really great experience. Aneta was immediately warm and reassuring, which made us feel very comfortable leaving her. Patti clearly had a brilliant day. She came home happy and relaxed, and it was lovely to see how settled she was. Aneta even took her out for a proper walk despite the rain, which we really appreciated. It is clear Patti was well cared for and enjoyed her time. We would happily recommend Aneta and will definitely be booking again.”

“Meg was an absolute star!! She went above and beyond to help out with last minute Lucy care. So lovely and approachable. We were update throughout Lucy’s visit on her progress with messages and videos. I can’t recommend Meg enough. We will definitely use her service again when in the area. Thanks Meg!! ⭐️”


About: I have experience of looking after 7 golden retrievers at one time. I love walking and have a clean and safe home which is dog friendly. I am not currently working so have lots of free time to look after your pets. I am not available some weekends but am free most days in the week and every other weekend. I am willing to administer any care needed for your dog. I am willing to look after your pet overnight as well as in the day

“Buddy is a very anxious and needy dog and he’s never been left with someone he doesn’t know. Janice was very patient with him and by the end his stay he was comfortable enough to sit on the settee with her! She kept me informed throughout the day and I feel very reassured for his week long stay with her next week 😊”

“Thanks for looking after Jasper for the day. He’s somewhat of a neurotic spaniel but seemed to settle straight away and was very calm (for his standards) when we came to pick him up. Thanks again.”


“For a first time ever at daycare I'm really pleased. Obi is a nervous little guy sometimes and Dilma and co. really helped Obi feel comfortable. He even had a little nap which I was surprised at. I didn't know if he was going to be able to settle in a strange environment. Will definitely be coming back for another play day x”

“Obi adores Nicole! She has a natural affinity with our 4 legged friends. I was very reassured by all the questions Nicole asked us about Obi and his habits, he’s had the best time with her and I will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Megan has been just perfect, she was super friendly, accommodating and looked after our dog wonderfully. She kept us up to date and sent regular pictures to show how much of a good time he was having. We will 100% be booking future daycare and overnights with Megan for sure. Megan thank you so much for taking care of our boy, we are so pleased he now has a new girlfriend too! :)”

About: Since a child I have always had pets. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and fish. The home is not the same without a pet. I currently have an indoor rabbit and often look after my mums cocker spaniel. I work in term time as a teaching assistant three days a week but I am available after work on those days, I am available at weekends and anytime throughout the school holidays. I have pet sat for many friends and family since I was 14, including dogs, cats and rabbits. This has involved, walking, feeding, cleaning out and spending lots of time with them whilst their owner is out for the night or away on holiday. I absolutely love spending time with animals and I’ve always been comfortable around all animals.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Derbyshire Dales on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,472 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Derbyshire Dales. About 85% of Derbyshire Dales 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 Derbyshire Dales 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 East Midlands 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 .
