“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of different dog breeds, from labradors to chihuahua’s, cockapoo’s, terriers and dachshunds. I’ve owned cats & am well practiced at catering to their individual needs :) I live nearby a fen and lake so your dog will enjoy beautiful daily walks and lots of stimulation exploring and smelling new things in my neighbourhood. I also love taking them to play at Abbey Gardens and am happy to take them out in my car to Nowton Country Park (just 10mins away) or to the beach for days out. I have also completed 18 weeks dog behaviour training so can help support you with any lead training, commands and assist with crate training if required. Whatever your pets needs or preferences I’m happy to accommodate them. I provide a loving and affectionate family home from home experience so they will be treated like one of the family. I always encourage owners to bring whatever makes your dog or cat feel comfortable so they can have the best time possible, feel safe and happy staying with me and have a lovely experience. I’m available on a flexible daily basis including evenings and weekends, I will always do my best to accommodate your needs and times that suit you best. I live next to plenty of green space for park walks & off lead play if appropriate. I have attended 18weeks of dog behavioural training classes for puppies & junior dogs, I am an experienced handler, walker & very responsible sitter. I always aim to provide the best possible care for your pets needs and personality. I am well practiced at caring for both un-crated and crate trained dogs, I am also happy for them to sleep in the bedroom if this is their normal routine :) I always work to your dog’s routine and preferences so they’re happiest.
“Alix & her husband were AMAZING. They took a last minute request and were able to watch both our dogs. She sent me pictures throughout the day, and took them on a couple walks. They were happy & exhausted when they got home - both good signs of a fantastic day! We will definitely use them again.”
About: caring dog sitter based in Brandon. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and nothing makes me happier than helping dogs feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Now that I’m retired, I have all the time in the world to focus on the needs of the dogs I care for, giving them my full attention and a calm, steady presence. I live in a detached house with an enclosed, secure garden — perfect for small dogs to explore and play safely. Just a few yards from my home is a beautiful forest, ideal for peaceful walks, sniffing adventures, and gentle exercise. It’s a wonderful setting for dogs who enjoy nature and a quiet environment. My Experience I have a small dog of my own and have been caring for friends’ “fur babies” for many years. Many of them are now regulars who feel right at home with me. I’m confident with different personalities — from playful pups to gentle seniors — and I always adapt to each dog’s routine and comfort level. My Approach I treat every dog as if they were my own — with patience, affection, and respect. I follow your instructions carefully and keep your dog’s routine consistent so they feel secure and settled. My goal is always to make your time away stress free, knowing your dog is in loving hands.What I Offer • Small dog sitting only (perfect for owners who want a calm, cosy environment) • Day care or overnight stays • Walks in the nearby forest • Feeding, routine care, and enrichment • A safe, quiet home with no small children • Regular photo and message updates • DBS checked for your peace of mind I’d love to learn more about your little one and how I can help.

“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.”
“Indie spent two days at daycare with Lucy and Coco, and we couldn’t be happier. As a shy girl, we were so pleased to see how eager she was to go back each day, it really meant a lot to us. Thank you, Lucy, for making Indie feel so at home and for all the lovely photos you shared. We’ve definitely found our pet sitter and will absolutely be coming back! 🐾💛”

“Rufus had a lovely time with Henry and Angharad! They were very thorough following the feeding and walking instructions I left and very responsive to messages. We've got lots of cute photos from their day together and Rufus seems very content now he is home. Would highly recommend them as sitters!”
About: I’m Lee 🐾 I’ve always had a big heart for animals, and caring for them is more than a job—it’s my passion. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playful adventures, or just a quiet cuddle, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra care and patience. My approach is gentle, reliable, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality. I am currently working part-time, but soon looking to care for animals as my full time job. I am currently available most afternoons and early evenings with some weekend availability when I can. Anything considered, where I am available. I have a fenced garden, that even keeps in my very Senior cat of 19 years for her daily wander around. Along with my 2 friendly playful dogs.
“Our 3yrs old Cocker Spaniel stayed with Ross and Clara for 2weeks during the Easter break. He seemed calm and happy every time Clara would send us videos and photos of him. Thanks to both Ross and Clara we spent our holiday with peace of mind.”
About: Growing up in a house full of rescue cats and dogs ignited my passion for animal welfare, which goes above and beyond in both my professional and personal life. I understand how daunting it can be leaving your furry one in someone else’s hands and I ensure the best quality care catering to any specific needs, and guaranteed photos of your pet so rest assured you know they’re having fun. I’m able to be flexible working with your house sitting and home boarding needs. At home, I live with both a very friendly dog and loving cat, so your pet would have to be okay with this, otherwise I’m happy to house sit! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions 🤗 I'm experienced in walking dogs of all sizes, chihuahuas to great danes, and can promise walking routes and lengths dependant on your dog's requirements. I'm experienced in house sitting for both dogs and cats, and to ensure your mind is at ease, I keep in full contact with photos of your loved ones throughout time away from them.

“Jack has been excellent from start to finish with communication and care of our little staffy. Really accomadating throughout the stay and provided regular updates with pictures and our doggo seemed super happy. Highly recommend Jack to everyone!”
“Hayley was amazing looking after my pooch Marsha, she’s a rescue and can be quite nervous when I leave her, Hayley made her feel so loved and took great care of Marsha. As soon as we got to Hayley’s house Marsha just settled right in with her tail wagging, I knew it was going to be perfect day for Marsha. Marsha can’t wait to see you again tomorrow, thank you ❤️”
“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.”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Forest Heath on Rover is £27.6 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 552 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Forest Heath. About 86% 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 .
