“Talita, Neil and Mala are absolutely wonderful. We felt so comfortable leaving Buddy with them. We really appreciated their updates and hearing how well Buddy got on with them. We would be so happy for them to look after Buddy again and would recommend anyone leaving their pup friends with them as they are really attentive and clearly care about looking after your pets so well. Thank you all. Buddy loves having a new great friend.”
“Cherie went put of her way to make Mitsu comfortable in her house, sleeping in front of the fire, & when the bit of chicken I had left her in addition to her normal food, as she wasn't eating very well Cherie supplied her with some more. Above and beyond expectation. Thank you”
“Nick was excellent looking after Monty. He was brilliant at keeping me updated and sending photo of Monty’s stay with him. I could tell that he made him feel so at home and I can not have asked for a better person to look after him. 100% would recommend Nick to anyone.”
“Tilly has had a wonderful time staying with Jenny for our 2 week holiday. Jenny sent us a photo every morning to let us know what fun they were having :) We wouldn't hesitate to book Jenny for any future holidays. Tilly has come home very happy and content as if we were never away.”
“Flynn had a lovely time with Kerry and Wesley. Kerry was lovely with Flynn and he settled straight in. Regular updates and photos were appreciated. Would recommend Kerry 100% and we will book again.”
“As always Maggie was brilliant with Reggie - she looks after him like he’s her own. Lots of amazing walks around the area, even a trip to the beach! This was the longest we’d ever left Reg & he came back to us very happy. Would really recommend & will definitely use again :) Thanks Maggie & family x”
“This was the first time I had used Rover for my one year old (very small) Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Ed and Jan were fantastic. They immediately gave me peace of mind and looked after Fudge really well - in fact, they spoilt her so I am sure she will be keen to go there again!! I would not hesitate in recommending Jan and Ed, and can't thank them enough for looking after Fudge so well.”
“We met Victoria for a meet and greet before booking Piggy in for a half day stay. Victoria has a lovely warm home with an enclosed garden. We had a good conversation about Piggy and her personality, as Piggy is an older dog and has poor eyesight and does not need very long walks. Victoria has experience especially with older pugs so we felt very secure in booking Victoria. She is extremely trustworthy, mature and professional and I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
About: Hi, I've been a mum to furbabies for over 25 years and would like to offer the same mum experience to your pets while you're away from home. My Boston Terrier Griff, Frenchie Margot, and cats Riley & Rosa would stay at home with family while I was with yours. Having said that, Griff and Margot are always up for playdates if it were suitable to you I can be fully at home from Fri evening to Tuesday early morning. I may be able to book additional days as annual leave with 6 weeks or more notice I will ensure your pets have the same routine and service that they have with you so that they won't be disrupted or unsettled while you're away from home
“Tilly did a fantastic job of looking after our terrier Buzz for the evening while we saw friends. She sent lots of photo updates and it was clear to see he was having a fab time with his new friends. Thanks Tilly, we will definitely be rebooking you in the future!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I work full-time but over three condensed days, which means I have plenty of time during the rest of the week to dedicate to dog walking, sitting, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I share my life with a rescue dog who is incredibly friendly and has never met another dog he didn’t like. We spend our days off exploring all kinds of places together—coastal paths, woodlands, beaches, as well as towns, villages, shops, and dog-friendly cafés. I understand how important enrichment, exercise, and socialisation are for a happy, well-balanced dog. I have a particular passion for rescue dogs and believe every dog deserves a fulfilling, loving life, regardless of their start. I’m patient, attentive, and mindful of each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s high-energy adventures or a calmer, more relaxed pace. I’ve looked after many friends’ dogs over the years, from regular walks to overnight stays, and I always treat them as if they were my own. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a dog go home happy, content, and tired after a fun day. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about dogs to look after your pet, I’d love to help. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work full-time over three condensed days, which means I have several days each week fully available for dog walking and sitting. My schedule is known up to 8 weeks in advance, so I can plan ahead and accommodate bookings where possible. On my days off, I usually start the day with a morning walk between 9–10am, lasting at least an hour. In good weather, this can turn into longer outings of several hours, with breaks for rest, water, and lunch. I also provide a shorter, calmer evening walk around 6pm for 20–30 minutes. Dogs in my care have regular access to the garden for toilet breaks throughout the day, and I always ensure a final toilet break around 9pm before settling in for the night. I’m happy to adapt my routine depending on each dog’s needs, whether they prefer longer adventures or a more relaxed pace. I provide a safe, relaxed, and home-from-home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. In my home, dogs are welcome in all areas and can choose where they feel most comfortable—whether that’s on the sofa or in their own bed in the lounge. I have a fully secure, fenced garden with no external access, so they can safely enjoy time outside whenever needed. I don’t use crates, but I may be able to accommodate one for smaller dogs if that’s part of their usual routine. For overnight stays, dogs are welcome upstairs and can sleep on my bed or in the spare room—whatever helps them feel most settled and secure. Although my own dog is not food reactive, I always feed dogs separately to ensure they each eat their own meals safely and at their own pace. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I am very respectful of routines and house rules. I would need to bring my own friendly, well-socialised dog with me, and I’m happy to follow your preferences—whether that’s keeping dogs off furniture or maintaining specific routines.
“Erin and Steve are lovely couple who obviously love dogs, and have a great rapport with Gibson; it’s quite clear that Gibson was very happy to be staying with them, and we would not hesitate to leave him in their care in future.”
“Yung hon and her partner were sooo good with my dog. It was his first time being away from the house and honestly he was treated like an angel. They’re very gentle with dogs. 100% booking again 🤗”
“What could be better than leaving your dog with a vet? Leaving your dog with two vets. Lovely, friendly, hospitable couple, both qualified vets. They looked after my large, energetic lurcher with great care and affection. Cannot recommend them highly enough.”
“Sarah is brilliant, she went above and beyond to make Indie feel welcomed and relaxed whilst she took care of her during the day and overnight in her home. Sarah was very attentive of Indie and sent lots of updates, which was very reassuring to see her playing and happy. Thanks so much!”
“I honestly can’t put into words how grateful I am that I found Georgina. We were on a family holiday and discovered last minute that our lodge didn’t allow dogs. Not knowing anyone in the area, I was really upset at the thought of leaving him with a stranger. I messaged Georgina and within minutes she replied — and within the hour, she was there. From the moment we met, she was kind, calm, and incredibly reassuring. She immediately put me at ease. She kept me updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which meant so much, and she even helped with pick-up and drop-off. Thank you so much again, Georgina — you truly made a stressful situation so much easier, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.”
“Kateryna did a wonderful job looking after Buddy for five days. She gave him great care and sent daily updates with cute photos. Buddy was happy, relaxed, and very well fed when we came home. I trust her completely and highly recommend her cat-sitting service.”

Loki had the best week staying with Cherie & Ozzie. We met up with them once beforehand for a walk on the beach, and as soon as we arrived to drop Loki off he didn’t look back at all - getting straight on with exploring his new home away from home. Cherie was brilliant at making Loki feel comfortable in his routines (even letting him hog her bed!!) and she sent us lots of lovely photos & updates of all the fun he & Ozzie were having together; so we were able to really relax whilst away knowing he was in such safe hands. Thank you :)
Annabel was very responsive on Rover and reacted to our (last minute) request easily. We spoke on the phone to discuss our dog's particular needs as she is very reactive. Annabel seemed unphased, and our dog was very relaxed on return. During the trip, we were reassured by pictures of our dog on walks, etc. She was ready for us on pickup, and was very flexible about the pickup time, which was much appreciated. Thanks Annabel.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in East Devon on Rover is £38.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 281 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across East Devon. 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 West 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.
