“Absolutely fabulous, such a fantastic sitter. Cherie listened to our wishes and Bebe had a lovely time because of it. Cherie is a very caring and responsible sitter and we cannot recommend her more highly.”

““We were a bit nervous with leaving our dog, Ouzo, with someone else besides us. But, Imogen was kind to us and Ouzo. She was flexible with timing and by the time we picked him up, he was smiling.” -Pearl, 10 years "We dropped off Ouzo with Imogen while we went to visit Wildwoods. She was flexible about timings, in good contact and was in a perfect location for us to drop him off and pick him up. Ouzo came back with a big smile. Would recommend."- Tom”
“Amy is absolutely brilliant and we feel very relaxed to know she is looking after Minnow, whether that be us dropping off and leaving Minnow with her or Amy picking up Minnow for day care. I thoroughly recommend Amy. Thank you”
About: We have looked after friends and family pets in the past. We live in enclosed bungalow with garden. No pets of our own since we lost our bernese 3 years ago. No children. Grandchildren visit occasionally. My wife is retired and I currently work 2 or 3 days a week. We do not have any of our own pets and grandchildren visit occasionally. We have a fenced garden. A patio area and a lawned area. Pets will always be treated as if they were our own. And we will always adhere to the owners wishes and requests.

“Our 1 year old black labrador spent the day with Maggie where he was given lots of attention and play throughout the day. She sent photos during the day to give us peace of mind that he was being well looked after and that he was having fun! Thanks Maggie, we will definitely book again”
“Ellie took great care of Rufus whilst I was at work. She was easy to communicate with, responsive during his stay and super accomodating when my work day over ran. Would highly recommend.”
About: My partner and I have been around dogs very regularly ever since we were small. I had two family dogs (cocker spaniel & miniature schnauzer) and was always given feeding and walking responsibility on a daily basis. Since then, we have walked and cared for various other local dogs as we haven’t been in a position to have our own but always loved being around them. I work from home 90% of the time and Taylor works from home 100% of the time. Our working hours allow us to walk and let a dog out for the toilet very regularly. We are in a position to host any day of the week, including weekends that we either have dog friendly plans or no plans. We have a securely fenced garden that would allow your dog to comfortably relax in our home. We also have multiple areas throughout the house that could be used for sleeping arrangements to ensure they are happy at night. We have no other pets at home so they would have our undivided attention unless we were sitting for another dog however we would share this with you ahead of booking to see if this would be a suitable arrangement. We live a calm and quiet lifestyle and would very much enjoy the additional company.
“We left our lurcher with Danielle whilst we went to a rugby match. Despite the pouring rain she took her out for a walk (thank you)! She had 1 other dog there and they did not get along when they met so she kept them separate, which seemed to work well.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for decades now, particularly JRTs! We have two: Monty (5) and Meadow (4) who can be loud, but are super friendly and gentle. I work from home so long walks at some of Devon’s best spots daily! :) Our days start early with our first walk around 6 am! Our longest walk/trip usually takes place around midday (2 hours +). Our third and final walk is a shorter one in the evening around 7 pm. I work from home so spend a lot of time with our dogs every day! We live in a quiet dog friendly village with lots of different walks available in the area. We have a small garden which is fenced off and secure so our dogs always have the option to spend time outside when they want to. The house is very spacious and our pets as well as guests are allowed everywhere including on the sofa!
About: I have cared for animals since I was very young. Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Fish, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters Chickens and Horses. Animals have always been a part of my everyday life. I am only work part-time so have plenty of time to give live and attention to your fur babies. For animals that wan't attention I am happy to play. I always ensure an owners home is looked after and secured as if it were my own home. I always keep it clean and tidy.
“We couldn’t recommend Tilly highly enough. From the very first moment, she showed such a calm, thoughtful and genuinely caring approach, always putting Romy’s comfort and wellbeing first. She really took the time to help her feel relaxed and at ease, which made a huge difference for us. Throughout the day, Romy was clearly in the best hands. When we picked her up, she was completely herself: happy, confident and relaxed… and once we got home, she collapsed straight into a deep sleep, which says everything about how much positive activity, play and engagement she’d had! It’s obvious that Tilly truly understands dogs and creates a lovely, balanced environment, especially with her own sweet cockapoo, Lila. Romy had an amazing time, and we felt totally reassured knowing she was being cared for so thoughtfully. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Tilly again and would warmly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind and fantastic dog sitter. Thank you so much, Tilly! Romy can’t wait to come back! 🐾💛”
“Karen was absolutely fantastic. She was able to receive a very last minute booking and my boy loved his day with her, he came back very tired. Great communication throughout the day and would highly recommend ??”

“Alberto was absolutely brilliant with Gizmo and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first daycare experience. Gizmo had a full day of lovely walks, socialising with another dog and lots of stimulation, and it was clear from the photos/videos that he was having an amazing time and was really comfortable and happy. Communication was great, and Alberto was really calm, kind, reassuring and knowledgeable. Gizmo came home happy, relaxed and completely exhausted 😂 Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much!”

Jenny is an absolute Star! we held our wedding in Sidmouth and knew that our girls wouldn't cope with the ceremony but needed to be part of our photos as our little family. Jenny looked after our girls and brought them to the venue for photos before taking them again while we held our wedding breakfast. Our girls loved Jenny and Lenny and we would not hesitate in recommending Jenny to others or using her friendly services again. Well done. love H&C (and Izzy and Roo too)
Lola had a wonderful time with Cherie and Oz. She came home a very happy puppy. She'd had a lovely walk in the woods and thoroughly enjoyed her morning! Cherie is absolutely great, really caring and kind and I'd very happily leave Lola with her again. Thanks so much Cherie! x

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in East Devon on Rover is £35 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £21 and £38 per day.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalised environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-to-one attention, and same-day collection and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose 'can host' section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socialising needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters 'Doesn't own a dog' and 'Only accepts one pet at a time' to find the right care.
Many sitters on Rover can help with collection and drop-off! You can find the cost of collection and drop-off in their profile under 'See additional rates'.
If you found a day care close to your home in East Devon, you can also explore dog walking as an add-on service, which allows your sitter to collect or drop off your dog from their home to yours. Add your location to the search field to find sitters near you and message them directly about transport alternatives.
Day care on Rover takes place in the sitter’s home rather than at a commercial day care facility. At a sitter’s home, your dog’s care is arranged directly with an individual sitter. Depending on the sitter, the day may include walks, play, companionship, rest and care based on the routine you agree on together.
Day care facilities generally care for dogs in a commercial space. Their staffing, dog-grouping practices and available spaces will vary by facility.
Neither option is better than the other. Your dog’s unique needs will determine whether they thrive in a home or facility-based setting.
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 .
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.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
