“Bella had a lovely day with Jenny and Brodi, felt very comfortable leaving her there I think she wanted to stay. She got on very well with Brodi lovely to see them play together. Would have no problem leaving her with Jenny again would definitely recommend her such a lovely person makes you feel very welcome.”
“Daisy seemed pleased to see Angela again and went off with her happily. We loved seeing pictures and videos of her during the day. We feel very confident that Daisy is well cared for when she spends time with Angela.”
“Kelly is such a lovely and wonderful lady she sent many pics and videos and kept me updated about how oscar was doing, oscar is a very shy boy but kelly made him feel right at home and having her lovely girls to socialise with was the cherry on top couldn’t ask for better service and will be using kelly again ❤️”
“Anna and her family are amazing! My dog loves going there - we are a repeat booker! I fully relax and never worry when Milo’s with Anna and she always keeps me updated with photos and videos.”
“This was the first we had left Buddy, 8 mth old cockapoo, but Sofia quickly put our minds at ease. She arranged a meet and greet prior to the day to get to know Buddy which was such a help. Buddy had a great day, lots of playing, going out for walks and when we came to collect he seemed completely happy. During the day Sofia kept us up to date with messages and pictures of Buddy which was a lovely extra. Have already got Buddy booked in for another visit.”
“Max loved spending the day with Melissa. She was attentive and happy to go with what Max needed. Local and highly recommended. We will definitely book Melissa again”
“Natalie was amazing with Argos! She came to my home and really cared for him as if he were her own. She kept to his meal times, gave him so much play and attention, and he was clearly so happy and relaxed with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was safe and comfortable at home while I was away. We’re so grateful for her, and we’ll definitely ask her to look after Argos again! 5 stars!”
“Angelica was great! Very calm and easy about any possible quirks of Comet's. Nice updates so I felt reassured on his first stay, would recommend and am planning to book again soon!”
“Cristina was fantastic with my 3 month old puppy. She kept me regularly updated with cute photos and took him for lots of walks and had lots of playtime. He was very happy and tired when picked up! Highly recommend”
About: I've grown up with pets (dogs, bunny and guineapig) and love all kinds of animals. I enjoy long dog walks and spending time in the nature. I'm freelance designer and might have months off between projects. During these periods I could pet sit full time, and doggos can enjoy my full attention and the outdoors in my garden between walks. I have a decent size fenced garden for toilet breaks between walks. The Hollow Ponds is about ten minutes from my flat and perfect for long walks.
“Ana was brilliant with little Enzo and her dog Flicka was very welcoming and playful with him. We needed a sitter quite last minute and Ana really came through for us. Very reliable and will absolutely be asking her to sit Enzo again in the future.”
“Mary is an amazing dog sitter. Her house is warm and inviting and she is so relaxed about where the dogs go. Luna has some separation anxiety and Mary was so kind and reassuring that she settle in very well. She was treated to a couple of walks in the day and a sofa to nap on when she got home. Mary was very relaxed about pick up times as we didn't know how the traffic would be on the way home.”
“Dougal got along wonderfully with Anely’s lovely dog, Brownie, and the rest of her welcoming family. Anely kept me reassured with regular updates, letting me know Dougal was doing well. He had a fantastic time playing with Brownie all day! I’ll definitely be booking Dougal to stay with Anely again. Highly recommend!”
“Zeus was right at home with Steph and was very well looked after. Great communication and photo updates throughout the day and especially accommodating as Zeus had to wear a cone during his stay which was no problem. Thank you!”
“Valentina was quick to respond to my last minute request and was great at answering my questions. She handled having my dog whilst she was in a cone well and gave updates during the day. Thanks for looking after her.”

I can't thank Emilie enough! Neither can my Whippet Joy! Emilie was truly lovely. We took Joy to meet her prior to her stay as she is a nervous dog. But Joy and Emilie clicked! Emilie provided me with pictures through out the day a gave two really lovely walks for Joy and a really wonderful time too. Emilie was flexible and caring and if you are looking for a dog sitter you will not find better! Thanks so much Emilie!
Repeat visit to Jenny. From arriving outside Jenny’s house, Watson could hardly contain her excitement at visiting again. She danced straight in and made herself at home immediately. 8 hours later, she seemed just as happy and content, had enjoyed 2 walks, had dined well (probably messily). So happy dog, happy owner
Elizabeth and her other half were truly wonderful and stepped in last minute to help when we needed cover. They were at the house within 45mins, we got regular updates throughout the day and were super responsive . Thanks so much. You saved the day and will definitely be re-booking!
Beckie was fabulous. A wonderful dog sitter and great communicator. She had really put so much thought into having Archie, even buying fruit to freeze for him due to the hot weather. Such a considerate dog sitter who will definitely be my first port of call for any future sitting needs.
Julie was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. From the moment we connected, she was warm, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took such great care of Kevin, giving plenty of attention, walks, and affection. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Kevin was happy, comfortable, and in very good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Both dogs were very happy and contented when I dropped them off and picked them up. They had a lovely day and were both worn out from having such a good time. Would definitely recommend and will book again 😊 Thankyou Jevgenija for looking after and caring for them both.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Epping Forest on Rover is £34.5 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 16,168 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Epping Forest. About 87% of Epping Forest 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 Epping Forest 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 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.
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 .
