“Nicola and her husband were absolutely amazing! Hadi was so happy and relaxed with them, and he is a chow chow so for him it’s not easy to be this calm! He loved it 🥹 we will definitely stick with Nicola and her husband always xx”
“Orazio has separation anxiety but Anely knows how to make him feel comfortable and when I picked him up in the morning it was obvious that his stay had been happy and that he had made friends with her dog Brownie.”
“Anna is a responsive, reliable and effective dog sitter - we had complete confidence in her over the 10 days we were away. She provided regular updates and attentive care for our dog, that suffers from some separation anxiety. Recommended.”
About: I have a 4 year old Cavapoo called Lucy-Lou who loves other poodle breeds and when I work from home she would love the company! I can only accept other poodle breeds at home as my Husband has Asthma and we can’t have dog hairs ( poodle hypoallergenic breed) I work from home Wednesday- Friday and take Lucy out for forest walks during the day. She is a lovely little dog and loves dogs. Lucy gets spoiled rotten as she’s our little girl. I am a caring, responsible dog owner who has looked after many dogs over the years as well as our very own. My husband and toddler also live in the family home but will not be home during care times. I have enough love and attention to go on another dog too 🥰🐶🐕🐕🦺 I currently work from home Wednesday-Friday and our toddler is in nursery full time ( so not in the house during the day) so I have plenty of time to take doggy out for walks in Epping Forest and have playtime. 08:00-17:00 would be ideal timing to work with Nursery drop off and pick up. I have a fenced garden and live opposite Epping Forest so plenty of open space for walks and playtime. Our dog Lucy-Lou has free reign of the house.
“Kelly is great, Luna loved her holiday with her. She kept me updated daily with photos and videos on how she was getting on which made me feel so calm and relaxed whilst I was away. Would 100% recommend Kelly Thank you so much again”
“We left our bichon Crystal with Jenny for 2 weeks. Jenny is lovely and welcoming. She shared photos of Crystal everyday of their walks plus giving us little updates which we loved. It's obvious to see that Crystal was very happy and well looked after when we picked her up and we were not fully convinced that Crystal wanted to come home with us. Thank you so much Jenny.”
“It was our first time leaving Roary, and Diana made the whole experience stress free. She sent regular updates, which reassured us so much while we were away. From the photos and messages, we could tell Roary was having the best time. We recommend Diana to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Elizabeth was brilliant with Bertie, he was very comfortable in her care and she looked after him so well! I definitely recommend asking Elizabeth to look after your dog!”
“Renata is absolutely wonderful. She took very good care of our Shih Tzu Scribble over three weeks that we were away. Renata, her boyfriend and their dog Fluffy were all very welcoming. They sent us lovely pictures and videos every day. Scribble was allowed on bed and seems to have spent a marvellous time between walks in the park and snoozes with Fluffy. Our dog also had a small health issue - Renata took him to the vet to check that everything was ok giving us peace of mind. We were very happy, Scribble loved it, so hopefully we can travel again soon and will book again!”
“The dogs came back happy and obviously very well cared for. Both Nicola and her partner were obvious very good to them and provided constant updates. We will definitely be using them again if we need.”
“George took excellent care of my dog, taking her on walks and keeping her great company. He provided regular updates, which reassured me. I recommend him and his partner to everyone.”
“Ecen is an amazing sitter and our dog loves her! She’s very flexible whenever we have to make changes with the dates or times, and she’s very loving and patient with Narya 🥰”
“Lara was so amazing with coco! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Coco! You were incredibly caring, attentive, and thoughtful throughout, and your communication was amazing from start to finish. We really appreciated all the updates and could tell Coco was happy and well looked after. Would absolutely recommend you and would love to book with you again!”
“Charlie was amazing with Benji and Maya for our wedding. She treated them like her own so much so that Maya went back to sleep when we picked her up. It was definitely a home away from home for our dogs. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Charlie!”
“We booked Hector in for a two‑week stay and couldn’t be happier with the care he received. He was treated like part of the family from the moment he arrived, with regular updates that kept us completely at ease while on holiday. Hector came home relaxed, happy, and clearly very well looked after. The thoughtful presents he received at the end of his stay were such a lovely surprise and showed how much attention and affection he was given. We highly recommend this sitter for anyone looking for a safe, loving home for their dog.”

“Emily was kind, caring and responsible towards Griffin during his New Year's stay with her. We had a meet up before and she asked pertinent questions about Griffin's welfare and likes, I was really confident leaving him with Emily. Thank you Emily, Griffin enjoyed his time with you i could tell!”
“I was lucky enough to come across Rebecca when my summer holiday boarder due to an emergency had to cancel 48hours before we were due to go away! Rebecca agreed for us to come around on short notice and having told her, that my dog is nervous when meeting other dogs at first, she was super professional when meeting us with her lovely dog Archie. That prevented any potential issues further down the line and I had no hesitations dropping my dog off, she settled in immediately. There is no doubt Rebecca took excellent care of her - she shared pics and comments and went far beyond what could be expected of a boarder plus her updates were quite funny too. Archie was super patient with having another dog in his territory, I could not have wished for more. I will very happily use Rebecca again!”

Nicola and Husband were fantastic with Max. Allowed him to settle at his own pace and provided reassurance to us that he was ok throughout the whole stay. Truly allowed him to be part of their family. Really well looked after during the heatwave too. Can’t thank you both enough 😊
Beckie was FANTASTIC! I received lots of photos showing that Griffin was happy and comfy and being given loads of love and attention. Responsiveness was great and generally really happy with everything. Well definitely use again for Griffin, he was clearly so happy there!
Special thanks to Kate who we can highly recommend. Kate and her family were great with our dog Vinnie, it was the very first time we had left him; he can be very anxious but settled in with them very well for the week that we were away. We received daily updates and photos and would be very happy to leave him with Kate again.
Luna stayed with Zivile for 3 nights/4 days. Zivile and her family were brilliant with Luna, she was cared for as if she was their own. Communication was great, we got loads of photo and video updates and Zivile was really flexible with drop off and pick up times. Will definitely rebook in the future ☺️

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Epping Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Epping Forest on Rover is £37.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 15,188 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Epping Forest. 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 East of 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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
