Leandra and Gary took great care of our two dogs and sent photos during their walks. One of my dogs is quite nervous but she quickly settled down and loved all the cuddles and attention. I would thoroughly recommend Leandra and Gary as great ‘dog’ people and would use their services again.

About: Having previously fostered for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, we were delighted to adopt our own little Bichon, Sid. We shared six wonderfully happy years with him before he recently passed away. Now, our dog-friendly home full of love and space is ready to welcome your dog. We have a secure garden and plenty of lovely local walks right on our doorstep. We truly believe a home should feel as much your dog’s as it does ours, so any pet staying with us is free to relax and roam throughout the house without restriction. We love going for walks and are home throughout the day. Understanding how important routine is for dogs, we’re happy to adapt ours to suit each individual dog we welcome into our home. We have a fenced safe garden and a house big enough to roam around. We had a driveway. We have previously fostered and adopted by Battersea Dogs Home and passed their vetting process.

Paris is a kind and lovely girl who made us both feel so welcome. It’s clear she loves pets as if they were her own. Cooper was thoroughly spoilt and we will definitely be booking again with Paris. Thank you again for looking after my boy so well. It means such a lot knowing he’s in safe hands.

Georgie was absolutely fantastic with Ralphie and he had a lovely time with her and her gorgeous dog Toby. Georgie asked all the right questions to get to know Ralphie ahead of his daycare and she kept me up to date with fun photos throughout his time with her. I felt so comfortable leaving Ralphie with Georgie, I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and thoughtful home from home for their dog!

About: I absolutely love dogs — I've grown up with them (and other animals!) so I'm very used to taking care of them. I'm always in charge of the dogs when my parents go on holiday! I work from home Mondays and Fridays so those days would be perfect for me, and I'm around at the weekends too — either for dog sitting or walking! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays so those days are perfect for me to take care of your dogs! I'd also be available for boarding over the weekend. I live in a ground floor flat with a shared garden. I'll make sure to take them out regularly, and keep them on a lead so that they're safe.

About: I’ve been friendly with dogs my whole life and frequently dropped in to look after my neighbours dogs. I currently have a lovely springer a home. I am available all day every day to spend plenty of time with your pup - all dogs are welcome! Size, breed and age don’t matter :) I have just finished my A-levels and am planning to do a gap year so I am available the entire week to play with and pay attention to your dog! Two walks a day is standard with the first usually in the late morning. A second walk also usually takes place between 4-6 depending on energy levels. I have a fenced garden roughly 20x30m, so plenty of space to play ball and searching games. I have a male (neutered) springer spaniel who is very friendly at home, he's currently 2.5yrs so I am very used to a moderately high energy dog.

About: We are a family of 6, who love animals. My husband and I have 2 pre teen boys and 2 pugs. Lola and Frank. Frank and Lola are for social and friendly and get on with all their dog friends in the park. If I looked after your 4 legged friend, they would be treated like one of the family. Lots of cuddles and attention, they wouldn’t want to go home! My friend has a springer and she regularly comes to stay and loves playing with the pugs. Also my family have dogs, so l walk/pet sit them when they are away. I work from home every day and the dogs are walked on a number of different places around Walton or Hersham. I love walking in the forest, or down by the river or in a local park! We always go for a family dog walk on a Sunday, which if your pet stayed with us, then they would also come along. We have a fenced garden, which is very safe and we do not live on a main road. We are also 10 mins walk from the local park.

About: Used to caring for all sizes of dogs from Great Danes to Chihuahua, all ages. Safe, large garden when not on walks and lots of interaction with friends and family if required Pet caring is my full time job so I'm based at home, walking locally or further a field when weather permits. I walk my own dog a couple of times a day. I have a fenced garden, separate living room if pets need their own space. Lots of local areas to safely walk the pets. Would prefer pets to be crated at night if overnight stays but can be flexible

Leana was brilliant from the start and quick to respond to all messages and questions. We met for a walk to make sure the dogs were compatible before confirming the sit. She was accommodating with time changes on the day and had good management of Coco's over excited enthusiasm. Sent pictures and a video during the day of Coco and her feedback on her behaviour during her stay will help me plan any future dog sits she attends. I would recommend Leana and her beautiful dog Maple.

Dominika took such great care of my dog, Salsa, while she was at daycare. She was incredibly attentive, made sure Salsa was comfortable and happy, and even helped administer her medication with no issues at all. She also provided regular photo updates, which gave me real peace of mind and was so lovely to receive throughout the day. I would 100% book with Dominika again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!

About: Offering friendly, reliable and professional dog walking and pet services in and around the Elmbridge area for you and your beloved pets. Up to date, accredited first aid trained for dogs and small pets. That’s me in the red wellies making friends with Plato the Labrador, my first doggy pal. Since then I’ve grown up with dogs in my life, the joy and companionship they bring is an absolute gift. I have a teenage female Vizsla who is well natured and socialised and loves hanging out with other doggy pals. Dog Walks: If your dog enjoys fun and stimulating walks but you don’t always have enough time in the day to get out and about with them, then you’ve come to the right place. I can provide a door to door service, taking them on an adventure providing exercise, socialisation, play, mental stimulation and company. Come rain or shine, on or off lead, I will only ever use positive reinforcement with your dog on our walks. I have puppy training and gun dog training experience and am confident in using whistle commands if that is what your dog is used to. Doggy Day Care/Over Nights: Planning a long weekend away but don’t want to leave your dog at a kennels? Then please reach out. I offer bespoke care packages for your dog, which include long adventure walks to new places. They can bring their own creature comforts for their stay and I’ll make sure we stick to their regular feeding and watering routine, so they can feel right at home. Please advise as to any medical needs or adverse reactions your dog has, I’m happy to administer oral meds to their regular schedule. Dogs, Cats & Small Animal Care: A care visit includes feeding, watering and cleaning their environment. Happy to administer oral meds if required. I’m self employed so my schedule is very flexible. Happy to accommodate at short notice. I can also offer a door to door service if that helps. I try to accommodate a meet and greet before any overnights/pet sitting. My home has a small, fenced off outside space. I live next to a park and there are plenty of lovely riverside, woodland and open space walks right on my doorstep.

Tatiana was wonderful to Chester when he stayed with her for doggy day care. We were a bit apprehensive about leaving him for the first time on this app but Tatiana made us feel really welcome with a pre visit and reassured us throughout the day with photos and videos. She took him out for a walk, fed him even though he was a bit nervous and treated him to many biscuits and cuddles which I know were much appreciated! So glad we found a good place we can leave Chester if needed where we know he will be safe and well taken care of!

About: I offer caring, reliable pet sitting with a focus on long, enriching walks in woodland and green spaces. I love giving dogs the time they need to explore, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors, helping them stay happy, calm, and well-stimulated. I’m patient, attentive, and confident handling different energy levels, from playful pups to older dogs who prefer a steadier pace. I always follow routines closely and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to pet care, ensuring dogs receive regular exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine that includes long walks, feeding, rest, and one-on-one interaction so each pet feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment in my home. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly, well-socialised dogs for company if your dog enjoys being around others. All interactions are supervised, routines are followed carefully, and I’m happy to crate dogs if needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

Andre is a fantastic dog carer. Molly warmed to him immediately. It's clear he has a natural way with dogs, as his own pet is equally relaxed and friendly. Andre is very attentive and provides regular updates and pictures throughout the day. Molly was clearly happy to see him again on his next visit, which gave me great confidence in his care.

About: Hi I’m Susie and I love animals. Growing up we had many dogs, cats, chickens and guinea pigs and our last dog was a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I currently don’t have a dog so decided to fill a very much needed gap of looking after dogs and getting my doggy fix all at the same time. I mostly only take one dog at a time and your dog becomes a part of our family while you are away and if history goes to show they will be absolutely delighted anytime they return. Snuggles in bed are encouraged (if that’s ok with you) and I really do love looking after peoples pets as if they are my own. I’m someone that is very picky when it comes to leaving my animals with someone and I’m so proud that I’m able to be that person for others, where you go away knowing that your dog is in the best of hands and being adored whilst you are away. I take them out for walks everyday and will take them with me everywhere I can if they are dogs that are comfortable with that. Dogs must like children as I have two ages 12 and 14. I miss the dogs we look after when they go and very much look forward to seeing them again soon x I am a stay at home mum who works a few hours a week as a swim teacher. The dogs that stay here become a part of our family whilst they are here x We treat your dog like it’s our own beloved animal. As we get to know your dog it becomes our loved animal too. We have a fenced garden and also live across the road from a very large green space that also has a river where many people walk their dogs off lead. I’m happy for you and your dog to come and meet me before staying to put you and your dogs mind at rest :)

SNOW is very nervous and takes a long time to trust new people. Emily was kind and patient. She gave SNOW the time and space to build the trust. She also has a very calm presence which helps SNOW calm down. Emily has cared for SNOW twice and both times she's been wonderful. We received updates of SNOW throughout the day and SNOW trusts her with walks. We'll definitely be booking Emily when SNOW needs care.

Ellie, Luke and their little Leo were the perfect people to look after my little dog, Tim. Kind, calm, thoughtful and wonderful people. I felt 100% reassured and comfortable leaving Tim for a whole day with them, despite knowing what a clingy (to me) dog I have. Tim was taken out for walks on Claygate common and got cuddle time at home. I was sent update photos during the day too. Very grateful for this very positive experience as my first experience on Rover. Thank you Ellie and Luke.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Elmbridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Elmbridge on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 16,586 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Elmbridge. About 87% of Elmbridge 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 Elmbridge 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 South East 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.

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 .
