“My welshie had a great time with Michelle & Ronny; great updates and pics. My pup has slept since I’ve collected him - all the chasing and wrestling with Ronny (!!) who is such a lovely dog. Thank you Michelle.”
“Great! The dogs both seemed to have a ball when staying with Kirsty & family. We picked up to tired but happy pups. Great to know they are in a lovely family home being looked after well when we are away. Next stay is booked already!”
“5* review - Katy is extremely passionate and knowledgable with dogs, she treats your fur baby exactly like her own. Biggie had a lovely few nights staying with her, Chris and Tiger. She sent regular updates & photos of what they had been upto and it totally put my mind at ease. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter then she is your woman! 😊”
About: I am a young, fit individual who loves going on walks and spending time with animals🐾🏔️☺️ I can provide daily visits for dogs (or cats), dog walking, doggy day care or at times overnight boarding! For overnight boarding the dogs are allowed on the sofa, and there are lots of toys and balls to play with here too☺️ I have had dogs my whole life, starting with labradors and now border terriers. My own dog Teddy has a diagnosis of epilepsy so I am able to manage dogs with medical conditions well. I have access to a car and can drive to any appointments🚘 If my availability doesn’t suit, don’t hesitate to send a request or message anyways and I will see what I can do. My partner often helps me too if I am unavailable🥰 I currently work full time through a shift schedule. However I often have spare time on my hands during days off on which I would love to go a walk or help out other dog owners. I can also provide overnight boarding for well behaved, socialised dogs. When in someone else’s home I will respect any instructions given to me. I can bring my own dog on walks (if wanted) to keep company.
“Simply put, Lexie is wonderful and your fur babies will be extremely well looked after and loved and you get lots of updates and pictures. Thanks again Lexie, Dottie will see you again in December.”
“First time leaving Boris our basset and he can be a tad sassy at times(typical Basie) but we new straight away he would be well looked after with Helen ,and we had lots of pics and great communication all the way through as we were a away 15nights 🥲but he’s home happy as Larry and well looked after Thank you so much Helen as he can be a handful at times”
“Svitlana looked after our dog Perrie for a day and overnight whilst we attended a wedding. She was great from the beginning, kept us updated throughout the day on how Perrie was getting on, and Perrie had a great time staying with her. Unfortunately we don’t live in the area, but would definitely look to book Svitlana again if we were ever up this way, and would definitely recommend her!”
“Thank you so much for looking after toff, especially at such short notice. The updates were perfect, and he was clearly very happy to spend the week with boy Rebecca’s dogs. We would definitely use again, and I will try locate toffs off button so he is welcome back 🤣”
“Fantastic sitter and such a lovely person. Booking for mine and my mums dog, my mum was quite nervous leaving her senior dog for a few nights but can't believe how settled she was. Both of our girls have come back happy and relaxed”
“Fantastic! Savannah is lovely, professional and very knowledgeable about how to make sure the dogs in her care have a positive experience. Our slightly needy golden doodle settled in well, clearly got lots of attention and seems to have enjoyed his stay. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’m 25 and live alone, although I’ve grown up with dogs on a farm, had dogs of my own and know how to look after animals. Very easy going welcome to all dogs over the age of 8 months. I do work full time, but free to look after your lovely dog on Fridays and the weekends. Also available in the evenings on weekdays. Boarding only but a completely dog friendly house with access to a fenced garden to make sun bathing, a toilet breaks and zoomies a bit easier.
About: I have always grew up with animals more so dogs, it was always a wide variety from small dogs to the larger breeds of Rotties, German Shepherds etc, I own2 dogs, I have Piper who is 5 years old and Prue who is only 13 weeks old, both crossbreeds and get on fine with other dogs. So I'm at home all day everyday, when I'm not in the home I'm out walking the dog's. Safety is my number one priority. I have crate at home if needed as well, I also have garden out the back and always out walking. Safety is our number one priority.
“Used Mollie for the first time at the weekend and our dog Sadie was welcomed and made to feel at home straight away. I wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you for looking after our precious pooch.”
“Amy was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog, Evie. She has a sweet disposition and was able to gain Evie’s trust quickly. Her two dogs have a very chill vibe and her house was perfectly set up to afford Evie a wonderful experience, from a fenced-in yard to comfy dog furniture— though Evie loved snuggling on the couch. Amy provided pictures and a text update every day so we always knew that Evie was doing well. I highly recommend Amy’s services as a pet sitter.”

Gail was amazing, this was the first time we had left our puppy and the whole experience was great. Gail sent me photos and updates on how Tilly was doing over the weekend and that her own wee dog and Tilly were the best of friends. Thank you so much Gail we will certainly use you again in the future. xxx
Honestly couldn’t have asked for better people to look after Gus on the night of our wedding 🖤 We were obviously nervous leaving him on such an important day, but Natalia and Jordan were amazing from start to finish. We got loads of updates and photos which made us feel so relaxed, and it was obvious Gus was having the best time. They were so thoughtful during the heatwave too, making sure he stayed cool and even treating him to a little ice cream 🥹🍦 Would 100% recommend them and absolutely trust them with him again!

When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
