“Alix was a perfect sitter while we were away this weekend. Communication for drop-off/pickup was very easy, and she sent loads of photos throughout the period. One of our dogs was fixed the week prior and she followed our recovery instructions. We would definitely choose Alix again to watch our pups.”
“Janet had a lovely home to take care of Lobo in. She was relaxed and friendly and Lobo who can be nervous when we leave her, was happy to be there. Janet took her plenty walks and took good care of her. Would definitely use Janet again.”
“Eva was brilliant, she took Terry at short notice and from the moment he arrived he was relaxed so I had no problem leaving him. I received messages regularly which reassured me he was doing fine while with Eva. I would definitely book again if needed.”
“Inga and her family took great care of our dog Daphne. We were provided with regular photos and updates which showed Daphne was settled and happy and had lots of playtime and walks. Thank you so much Inga!”
“Shaun was a fantastic dog sitter. My dog was extremely well taken care of and I could tell that he missed their family once we got home. I will definitely rebook with Shaun in the future and highly recommend this dog sitter.”
“We decided on a last minute trip out of the country. Anna worked with us every step of the way and made sure we were always in the know with our girl. She would send daily updates and photos. It was a peace of mind while we were away to know our dog was being loved and cared for by such a lovely family. Will use Anna again for boarding in the future.”
“This was the 1st time I'd had to leave my dog with anyone other than family so I was nervous how he would be - I needn't have been as he had a great time!!! Sharon sent regular photos and updates, the 1st one being shortly after I'd dropped him off ( it was very reassuring to see he wasn't fretting that we'd left him). I think Vinnie was reluctant to leave the spacious gardens and paddock behind when we picked him up! I would 100% recommend Sharon 😊”
“Another amazing day-care for Florence. Maria is a genuine caring person and our Florence is always happy to see her, which makes us confident Maria is the safest pair of hands we'd find for our precious little baby.”
“Highly recommend Carolyn 🤗 she gave our doggys a home from home but also a relaxing break for our crazy children! She was happy to go with our doggies routines and they came back very happy. Carolyn is also very good at sending pictures and updates! Thank you so much again Carolyn will defo use again x”
“Freya did a fantastic job of boarding my Pointer for three nights, he came home well exercised and tired out yet settled back in at home in no time at all. I received regular picture updates from Freya and I could see Hudson was having fun in a safe environment with Freya who is obviously very experienced with dogs of all sizes and Hudson loves her naturally energetic confident manner. All in all I’m very glad to have found Freya.”
“Tracey is so attentive and caring to our dog, Agnes. We have used Tracey several times now and will always return when in the area and need a sitter. We get regular updates and we know Agnes is safe and well cared for with Tracey. Thank you so much”
“Harrison was great with Lennon this was the first time he had been left with a sitter so was a little nervous for the first few days but he soon settled into Harrison’s home and was very happy . Highly recommend thank you !”
“We are so incredibly grateful to Suey for how she looked after our dog. This was a very last minute booking and Suey was so gracious through the whole process. Ettore was well looked after, happy, all his needs were met and my husband and I were worried that he wouldn’t want to come home! Thank you so very much! We will most certainly ask Suey to look after Ettore again!”
“May is an excellent dog sitter. She is very knowledgeable and made sure that Jake had a lovely time with plenty of walks and play. Her communication is great and she sent us regular updates with pictures and videos. I recommend her highly.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Forest Heath on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .
