“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.”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Tracey - she was so great with Ralphie - he enjoyed all the attention and cuddles and was happy and relaxed at the end of the day ! I’m sure Ralphie will be back ! Thank you Tracey”
“It’s obvious Sharon is a natural with dogs and very easy to talk to. This was Milo’s first time for day care with Sharon and she kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages. He had a lovely walk by the river. Milo must have felt at home as he actually ate all his dinner which he won’t always do when we’re not around. Would highly recommend and have no hesitation booking again. Thank you Sharon.”
“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 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: 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.

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.

There are 571 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.

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 .
