“First time leaving Polly with Teresa and John. We had a meet up visit prior to this and we immediately felt at ease. Polly clearly had a lovely time and was very relaxed when we collected her. We have another longer stay planned and it’s reassuring to know she will be loved and well cared for.”
“Ben had a great time and was really well looked after. It honestly felt like a home from home for him. We came back to a very happy Border Collie and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks so much! 🐾”
“Grainne took really good care of George at late notice when I had to be called out of town for work. It was during a heatwave and George was kept cool and stimulated with Oscar! He has been sleepjnf like a log since he has come home.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! Her gentle nature with Rufus made it obvious that she treats your pets like her own family members. She shared plenty of photos and videos and is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her, and we will absolutely be back. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Rufus he had a great time! x”
“My Oscar had the best week!! He was so settled and happy and I got regular pictures I can not recommend these guys enough!! If I could could give 10 stars I would! Thankyou so much for looking after my Oscar and making him feel so safe and happy all week :) xx”
“Sanni was amazing from start to finish. Had a good handover before the sitting which really helped Leo. Sanni has good communication and send me photos of Leo throughout his stay. Will be using Sanni again, no questions asked.”
“Leo had the best time with Slyvn. He had plenty of walks and cuddles, getting all the attention. Slyvn has excellent communication and provided an update daily which helped put my mind at ease while away. Deffo will use Slyvn again”
“Sheena is amazing! She always keeps me well informed so I never feel unaware of what’s going on. She’s great with Aiko always catering to her needs, like another member of the family. Definitely recommend Sheena, have no doubts she will take great care of your baby like she did mine ❤️”
“Leah was absolutely fantastic, Willow was super happy to stay. I was nervous about leaving her for the first time but Leah made me feel super confident! I was updated regularly and had photos too!”
“I had a great experience with Olivia. She looked after my Labrador for two weeks. I got very regular updates, lots of photos and videos daily and I could tell my dog had a great time there as he was happy to cuddle with her. Would definitely recommend her!”
“I was apprehensive about leaving Bertha with anyone apart from family, we found helen and so glad we did! Bertha was cared for and looked after like their own, I received plenty of updates and photos whilst away that helped to put my mind at ease. Helen is great and I will definitely be booking again for next time!”
“Beth and Rosie, you two are absolutely fantastic! From the start, I felt completely informed and reassured, with constant updates and loads of wonderful photos. It was clear that Rufus was having the time of his life and was in the best of hands. Not only did he have a blast, but he also made two amazing friends—both human and doggy! Thank you for going above and beyond to make me feel at ease, and for treating Rufus as if he were your own. I know he's counting down the days until he can see you again in just four weeks! 😊”
About: As a couple we love to have dogs in our lives and routines 🐶🐾 Bruno grew up with dogs being part of the family and, from a young age, was used to looking after them. I didn’t have the chance to have a dog of my own until a few years ago, mainly because my living arrangements were not ideal for pets. Over two years ago, when we bought our home, we started looking after dogs for friends and neighbours. We really enjoyed it and soon realised how much we wanted to have our own furry companion. So, six months in, we welcomed our little Faye into our family. Even then we continued looking after other dogs. It has been a lovely way for Faye to socialise, while also giving us the chance to meet more four-legged friends and their owners in our local community. We’ve looked after dogs with a wide range of personalities — from excited young pups who need plenty of attention, play, guidance and boundaries, to older dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. We know that every dog is different, so we are committed to adapting to their usual routines and needs as much as we can. Most importantly, we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, safe, cared for and part of the family. I work from home and Bruno is currently home all day too, so your dog will not be left alone. As we also have our own dog, feeding, walks, playtime and cuddles are already a integral part of our day. We would start by introducing your dog to our home environment and giving them some time to feel comfortable and settled in. We’ll always keep their safety and wellbeing in mind and make sure they feel secure in their new environment. We understand that trusting your dog to someone can be difficult and feel like a big decision, especially for the first time. So we want to make sure we provide a calm, caring and safe environment for all dogs staying with us. To give you some peace of mind, we are happy to send updates 📸 as frequently as you’d like. We can agree on this together when making the booking. We only take dogs from one household at a time, to ensure they get all the care and attention they need, while also reducing the risk of dogs not getting along with each other, becoming anxious around unfamiliar dogs or having interactions forced upon them. As we are always home, your dog will never be left alone and will have plenty of company and attention. Because we have our own dog, Faye, we take introductions seriously. Faye is very friendly with all the dogs she comes into contact with, but we never expect two dogs to become best friends immediately. We allow them to meet calmly, give them time to get used to each other and always pay attention to their body language and comfort levels. We are also able to keep your dog and Faye separated within the house if they need some quiet or alone time. Our Home & Environment 🏠🌳 Our main living space is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area leading to a fully enclosed garden. Providing it’s not raining or extremely cold, we tend to keep the door to the garden open so dogs can access the garden whenever they like. We also have at least three different parks within walking distance of the house, and a couple of others within a 5–10 minute drive.
“Zoe is amazing, our little Bear had the best week with Zoe and her lovely family! From the moment we met Zoe we knew Bear would be well looked after and cared for.. we were made to feel so comfortable and Bear felt right at home straight away! During Bears stay we had lots of pictures and updates of all the fun he was having, with all the days out! Zoe spoilt him with love and care! Zoe also got another booking for 2other dogs, before booking she messaged me to check that we were ok with this, which we were! Bear had the best time with his 2 new friends! Zoe followed Bears plan and ensured that he stayed within his routine!! We will 100% be booking with Zoe again!! Bear absolutely loved his time with you! Thanks Zoe 🐾🥰 xx”
“Sam and Sam did a fabulous job of looking after Dexter, we got lots of photos and updates on how he was doing. He was flexible with drop off and pick up time which was great and Dexter would love to stay again”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a huge part of my day-to-day life. I currently have a young greyhound puppy of my own, which has given me plenty of recent hands-on experience with puppy care, including toilet training, lead walking, building confidence, establishing routines and positive reinforcement. My family dog is now a senior, so I also have experience caring for older dogs and understand that they can require a gentler pace, extra patience and care tailored to their individual needs. I’m also a cat owner to my 3-year-old cat, Spot, who I’ve had since he was a kitten. This has given me experience with both kitten and adult cat care, so I’m very comfortable looking after both dogs and cats. Having pets of my own means I completely understand how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, and I’ll always treat someone else’s pet as I would my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routines, accommodate individual needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and reassurance while in my care. Pet care already plays a big part in my everyday routine as I have pets of my own, so fitting walks, drop-ins and pet sitting into my week comes very naturally. I’m organised and flexible with my time and will always make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, rather than rushing visits. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking and toilet routine wherever possible, as I know how important consistency can be for keeping them happy and settled. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and respect their existing routine, environment and boundaries. I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and allow nervous or shy pets to approach me at their own pace. On walks, I’ll keep dogs securely on lead unless specifically agreed otherwise and pay close attention to their behaviour, surroundings and interactions with other dogs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of attention and affection while they’re with me. 🐾

Rachel looked after Bella for a week for us. Bella was unsettled at first but with Rachel’s care she soon settled. Rachel sent photos and updates almost every day and was very responsive when we contacted her to check on Bella. Bella had some lovely walks over the bank holiday weekend. I would definitely recommend Rachel. Thanks for taking such good care of Bella.
Evelina has been wonderful. Jed has been really well looked after. She was so accommodating at the beginning when Jed was a little unwell, giving him his medication and slowly feeding him. She kept us up to date with his progress and sent regular picture updates which we found very reassuring. Jed appeared very settled with Evelina when we went to collect him. Thank you so much Evelina, we’ll definitely be recommending you and be using you for Jed’s holidays in the future.
Dookie had the most wonderful time with Eleanor and Dillon. We were updated on how he was doing daily which was comforting to hear. Dookie would be more than happy to return 😊 Thank you Eleanor and Dillon. We had a wonderful time away knowing our boy was in safe and warm hands 😊
Vikki has been the perfect match for my pet. She is so sweet and reliable, couldn't be happier, especially because my dog is very sensitive and being a rescue too, he needed extra attention. I explained all the needs to taking care of Apricot and she did her best to make us, and especially him, feel at home. Can't recommend enough, will definitely book with her again.
Victoria was absolutely amazing! Her gentle nature with Rufus made it obvious that she treats your pets like her own family members. She shared plenty of photos and videos and is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her, and we will absolutely be back. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Rufus he had a great time! x
Bertie was very chilled when I collected him and seemed quite sad not to be staying for longer. He obviously had a lovely time and had become quite attached to you during his stay. Thank you so much for looking after him so well on his first experience with a sitter.
This was the third time we left our dog Calli with John & Teresa and as usual she loved it. On arrival, Calli disappeared upstairs and settled straight in - which was great to see. We got some nice pictures while we were away and daily updates which put our mind at rest. We collected Calli after 8 days and as before, we could see the bond that John & Teresa have formed with her. Although it’s a 45 minutes drive from our home, it’s well worth it knowing that Calli is so well cared for. Thanks Again.
Sam seemed very very happy staying at Susan's house. Susan sent us regular photos and updates and Sam always looked warm and comfy, was regularly walked and was allowed to really be part of her family. It was great to hear that Sam and Susan's dog got on well and were very similar. We were out of the country, over the Christmas holidays, so we were so very grateful to know that Sam was being treated so well. Sam had medication requirements and Susan was happy to give him this. We would definitely recommend Susan, everything went perfectly, and we hope she will have Sam again in the future.

FAQs for Boarding – Gedling
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gedling on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,022 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gedling. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Midlands 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 .
