About: Hi, we’re Harry & Dale. We’ve both grown up with dogs and, as a couple, cared for two very different personalities: Max, a high-energy Patterdale Terrier, and Molly, a gentle senior Black Labrador. That experience means we’re comfortable adapting care to suit individual dogs - from energetic walks and play to calmer routines, medication awareness, and senior needs. We’re patient, attentive, and good at reading behaviour, routines, and cues, helping dogs settle quickly and feel at home. Harry works from home most weekdays, so dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy company, supervision, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, calm, and built around the dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. Our home is relaxed, clean, and dog-friendly, with a secure garden for supervised outdoor time. We keep routines clear and consistent, follow owner instructions closely, and only take on dogs we’re confident we can care for safely and attentively. We don’t have children, and visiting family is always considered carefully around any dog in our care. Clear communication, regular updates, and your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.
“Steph has been such a pleasure to deal with. My puppy had the best time with her and she’s so sweet in dealing with him and intuitive. Really grateful to have found her. Thank you!”
“Lucy recently looked after our dog minty, I was very pleased! Lucy met me and minty with her dogs before she came to stay which really helped mine and Minty’s anxiety! Lucy’s communication was great and minty came back very happy! We will definitely be using Lucy again in the future, thank you very much!”
“Barney loved his stay with Steph and her family. He hit it off with her own dog and we really enjoyed seeing photos of his walks. Steph was very accommodating and this meant we could enjoy our holiday without feeling we had to rush back to meet a specific time, which took the pressure off. Barney even 'enjoyed' a shower before we picked him up as he tends to get a muddy tummy out on walks. Overall, I am very pleased with the care offered by Steph and will definitely use her again.”
“Robert was very accommodating, and Buddy & Holly were well cared for. Robert was sensitive to us as this was first time gir dogs to be left and weather was excessively hot.”
“Kirsty was wonderful. Leo was so happy to see us when we picked him up but kept running back to Kirsty as well. He obviously enjoyed being with her. Kirsty let us know how Leo was doing with photos”
“Emma and her family are great. A really friendly and welcoming home. Winnie had a fantastic time. Definitely the doggy home we need when we go away. Your pooch is in safe hands here. Thank you guys.”
“Thank you so much for looking after Luna so well, I loved receiving the photos and videos and updates. Luna was so happy when we picked her up, we would love to leave Luna with you the next time we need a dog sitter ! Thank you ! 100% recommend!”
“We went to greece last week, and left our French bulldog lucky with Darcey for the week, lucky was well looked after and we was kept up to date with photos and messages and always replied instantly I will definitely be leaving my dog there again when I go away. Thankyou!”
“My dog had a great time with Matt. We did a meet and greet to make sure my dog and his all got on before confirming the booking which was great. He settled in really quickly after dropping him off and I think he wanted to stay when it came to pick up time. He definitely settled in as a new pack member with Hugo & Rem. I would definitely book with Matt again - 5*”
About: Throughout my life, I have always had pets, especially cats. I have cared for one, two or even three cats at a time. I have also looked after friends’ cats and dogs, including a Doberman and three Boston Terriers. I genuinely love animals and understand how important it is to provide them with care, attention, and companionship. I can have pets over night, every night and on my days off, mostly Thursday and Sunday, on the days off I have lots of time to spend with little furry friends 🧡 I have secured balcony there cats can enjoy sunshine and watching birds, I love cuddling them and play with them. I love cats and have their trust
“Our 2 pups stayed with Marek for about two weeks while we were away & they seemed very well look after & relaxed. Poppy (10month old) is little bit wary of strangers but seemed to take liking of Marek straight away. Marek provided us with daily photos so I could rest my mind and enjoy our holidays. Will 100% recommend and will use their services again. Thank you Marek!”
About: Pet owner and lover. I've been taking care of family and friends dogs for over 15 years. I also board dogs professionally. Working from home means I'm available at different times throughout the day. Reliable and a genuine love for all animals I work part time from home which my own dog LOVES! I can be available mornings, afternoons and evenings, both weekdays and weekends. I'm an early riser which allows me to care for my own dog around your pets Pet safety and happiness is at the forefront of all I do! I want your dog to be happy and you to feel at ease and know you're dog is reconfigured the same love and care you yourself give them
About: When I was younger we used to have pets and have grown up taking care of animals. We have a friendly poochon now who is 5 years old and lives for a ball to be thrown. My own dog is walked regularly and cared for like the part of the family that she is. I work from home so am usually close by and never out for longer than 4 hours. I have a fenced garden and pets are welcomed on the ground level of my property. The sofas are covered so the doggos can snuggle for naps. Dogs beds are generally located in the rear of the property downstairs.
About: If I had to choose between spending the day with people or dogs... the dogs would win every time! 😂 I've always been a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I've grown up around them my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two gorgeous dogs of my own—Yorkshire Terrier ( Maja) and a Cockapoo puppy ( Mimi) —who are a huge part of my life. They keep me on my toes with lots of adventures, cuddles, and playtime! Alongside caring for my own dogs, I've regularly looked after and walked dogs for family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to explore or prefers a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing stops, I'll tailor every walk and visit to suit their individual needs. Pet care is something I genuinely love and enjoy being part of my routine. I’m fully flexible on weekends, making them ideal for longer walks, adventures, dog sitting, and giving your furry friend plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to work with your dog's usual routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care. Whether your dog needs an exciting adventure walk, some one-to-one attention, or a cosy home-from-home stay, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’m always happy to chat about what works best for you and your furry friend. 🐶💕 If your dog stays with me, they'll be welcomed into a loving family home and treated like one of my own. I live in a spacious three-bedroom house with a fully secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or simply relax in the sunshine. Inside, they'll have plenty of cosy places to curl up, lots of love and attention, and as many cuddles as they'll allow! For dog walking, I’m happy to offer both solo walks and walks with my own two dogs joining us. If you would like your dog to have a one-to-one walk with me, that is absolutely fine. Alternatively, if you’re happy for your dog to have some friendly company, my two girls would love to come along and enjoy the adventure too! Just let me know what you’d prefer when booking, and I’ll make sure your dog has a fun, safe, and enjoyable walk that suits your wishes. For dog boarding and stays in my home, my two girls will naturally be part of the family environment, so I kindly ask that any dogs staying with me are friendly, comfortable, and happy around other dogs. I’ll always make introductions carefully and make sure every dog feels settled, safe, and welcomed as part of the family. 🐾
About: I've had pugs for life. Raised from puppies and was there aiding my beautiful first pug for the birth of my bonded pairs puppies. I now have 2 young pugs which I adore along with my 4 children. I am blessed enough to work from home, and I home educate one of my daughters who is also passionate about caring for animals. We've looked after friends dogs at times and now know it's time to share the love. We want to build on caring for small dogs specifically. We are a home from home set up and your dog will be as free and loved here as our own. I currently work part time from home, so am always available for cuddles and play and walks every day. Toilet breaks are frequent. I can care for diabetic dogs and administer insulin and medications where needed as I've cared for dogs with needs and had my own diabetic dog. I have a fenced garden, a large garden for play, there's comforts in every room. I have 2 dogs for company and 4 children between 6 and 14 and we all love pugs. Your pugs are welcome to lay and sleep on all sofas and beds and might come home a little spoilt.
“Our dog Jasper had the best time ever staying with Aaron. Throughout our time away, Aaron sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Jasper was being so well cared for. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a true home-from-home experience for their dog. There is plenty of secure open space for the dogs to run and play freely, and it is clear that Aaron genuinely cares about the animals in his care. Jasper loved his stay so much that he hardly wanted to leave! We will definitely be using Aaron again in the future.😊”
“Caroline was great in keeping us updated about our boys stay with photos and texts. As a first time pet boarder Caroline made me feel at ease and I knew she would take care of our pet like one of her own. Thank you!”

We couldn’t speak highly enough of Sarah. The level of care Sarah and Martin provide for Jaffa Cake is second to none. They go out of their way to make Jaffa feel at home, taking him on lovely walks and trips. Jaffa loves staying with Sarah and Martin so much that he is reluctant to come home!!! Just perfect.

When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:

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 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.
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 .
