“Amira loved her time with Inga & Bonnie. Amira is always scared around new people but she’s gotten used to Inga very quickly, which is great! Inga has been very patient with Amira’s constant demands to be petted.”
About: Hi! We’re Aimee and Jake, a couple living in Ely, Cambridgeshire. Dogs have been part of our lives since childhood, I grew up with everything from Havanese and Jack Russells to German Pointers, mixed breeds, pugs and Great Danes, while Jake grew up around German Shepherds & Dachshunds. We’re cat people too, so a multi-pet household is nothing new to us. We’re not quite ready for a dog of our own yet, which is exactly why we love stepping in to help when you need a hand - and we’re happy with all breeds and personalities. Between myself and my partner Jake dogs fit very easily into our routine - Jake work’s remotely at home all week, and I work from home two-three days a week too, so there’s rarely a day without company. We’re also free most weekends and love a good walk, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time, playtime, and cuddles. Our home is a spacious, pet-friendly house with a secure, fenced enclosed garden and no outdoor hazards - a safe, calm space for any dog staying with us. We’re also close to plenty of walking spots, so there’s always fresh air and exercise on hand.
“When Maria opened the door Florence greeted her in the same bouncy exuberant way she would if we returned home or if our closest family visited - this was perfect reassurance how well she is looked after in Maria's care. Maria is someone we've learned is genuine and caring, and we highly recommend her to anyone who might be worried about finding the perfect person to entrust caring for your precious canine friend.”
“This was my puppy Daisy's first experience of being away from home and I couldn't have been happier with how well she was looked after by Sharon. She also looked after my other dog Coco who really enjoyed her day walking and playing ball. Overall my dogs were provided with excellent care throughout their stay and I would have no hesitation in booking with Sharon again.”
“Janet and Bruce were so accommodating and flexible. We have a rehomed adolescent doggo who is still learning and were keen to find the right fit for her. As soon as we met them we knew that they were the right people to take care of Lullah. Their warmth and experience, as well as their set-up, were reassuring and instilled us with confidence. They took wonderful care of Lullah and sent us welcome updates during the day. Thank you!”
“We ran into Angharad, Henry and Rhodri in Ely one day, and Rufus's reaction to them told us everything we need to know! He obviously adores them, and they him. It's so lovely to know that Rufus is with people he loves so much when we can't be with him.”
“Archie stayed for just the day today. I have one very tired, but happy boy 🐶🥰. I would deffo recommend a stay with Alix for your puppy - she is very caring and well organised. (And you get plenty of photos 😊)”
About: I started dog and cat sitting for friends in 2020, and now have 6 years of experience. I’m patient, kind, and genuinely caring with every pet I look after. I grew up in a family with dogs, cats, and rabbits, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my whloe life. I have experience with a wide range of dog breeds, especially Shiba Inus, Akitas, Golden Retrievers, Shih Tzus, German Shepherd and Bichons. I am working in hybrid with 4 days at home. I have regular hobby morning/evening run. I might run slow but I love to running with dog. If your dog is not big fans of running, we can also have a walk around to explore the big park near my home. ☀️☀️ We also have AC at home to keep the temperature in 23°C during the heatwave, so your doggy will also be stay with cool and chill during their stay. 🧊🧊 I have a fenced yard and locked garden door to make sure the safety of the dog. I am also a person with full of energy, so if your pup love to play with me in the garden I will love to.
“Pedro was amazing with my Weimaraner puppy, Saffie. Saffie is quite a whirlwind and requires a lot of physical and mental stimulation. It was very clear that Pedro met all of her needs and she came home very happy. I contacted Pedro extremely last minute to see if he could have Saffie for the first time the following day. He responded swiftly and was really very helpful throughout. I really appreciated receiving video updates and it was clear how caring, knowledgeable and attentive Pedro is with all dogs. I would absolutely have no hesitation in booking Pedro again and he even offered me some really useful training advice. Thank you Pedro for all your help.”
“Giselle was absolutely fantastic with Stella. Stella has quite a nervous disposition, but she took to Giselle straight away, she engaged great with her and updated us on how she was doing. Stella settled in great, far faster than I expected her too which was so reassuring to see. I would definitely recommend and will be booking with Giselle again in the future!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs of all varied breeds my whole life, and often look after my family and friend’s dogs. I can’t wait to meet your own furry loved ones!

I have a full driving licence and car, and don’t have any children or pets of my own (yet!) I have a fenced off garden, of which many family/friend’s dog have visited and love running around in it. I’m happy to accommodate to your dogs’ needs.
“Matcha had a great day with Annalise - she was smiling in the photos Annalise took and she didn't want to go home when I went to collect her. It's her first day with Annalise and I'm so pleased it went well. Highly recommended!”
“I had a great experience with Carmen. She accepted my last-minute booking request, which was a huge help, and took very good care of my dog. She was reliable, caring, and made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. I really appreciate her flexibility and would happily recommend her to others. Thank you!”

“At short notice, I was able to book Ping Yan to look after our dog three times over half term for a full day. She was very professional, friendly and caring and I felt 100% confidence in her. She kept contact throughout the day sending videos and information about how our dog was doing, which was great. On the first day, we were stuck in London and got back much later than we had initially anticipated. Ping Yan was very understanding and kept telling us not to worry as we waited on delayed trains to get back to Cambridge. She made us feel very reassured which really helped. I can’t imagine that anyone would be anything but overjoyed at the way Ping looks after dogs so you have nothing to worry about with her. She was also very punctual whenever I texted her to say that we’d be downstairs in a few minutes to meet her.”

Freya offered a great day care service. She was very professional and very responsive at all times. She took special care with our elderly Beagle and extra paid attention to his set medication and meal times. She kept us updated throughout his stays with photos and took him on a nice walk with the other dogs in her group that day. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for doggy day care in the area.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Forest Heath on Rover is £29.33 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 560 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Forest Heath. About 85% of Forest Heath 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 Forest Heath 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 .
