“We left our Caucasian Shepherd Cross rescue - Calli - with John and Teresa for a 24 hour period to see how she got on - prior to a couple of week long stints that we have booked with them in February and April. We had also been for a meet and greet prior to leaving her. It was clear from our first meeting that John and Teresa are lovely people who really care about dogs and also know how to look after them and make sure they are happy. We got a photo of Calli out on a walk in the country park that borders John and Teresa’s house. She was given 2 long walks during the day. On collecting Calli, I could see that she had bonded well and was very much at home - which was great to see and put our minds at rest about leaving her for longer periods. Knowing that Calli will be so well looked after is very important to us and John and Teresa are the perfect people to ensure that is the case. Thank you very much. See you in February.”
“Olivia has been amazing. Friendly, understanding and very kind. My dog had a great time with her. She is fully committed to attending the needs of the dog that is staying with her. I am so grateful and would absolutely use her services again and definitely recommend her.”
“Sheena took great care of my dog over the New year and I couldn’t be more happy. She was brilliant communicator keeping me informed with loads of photos and texts. She followed his routine and even did extra walks. Charlie was very happy when I picked him up. I would be happy to recommend her and will be using her again. Thanks Sheena”
About: We’re dog lovers who enjoy having dogs around. 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 I had previously lived in flats or rented homes where dogs weren’t allowed. Over two years ago, when we bought our own 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 after getting Faye, we continued looking after other dogs. It’s been a lovely way for her to socialise with different dogs, 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”
“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!”
“We were nervous having never used Rover before for dog sitting, but Elaine and Stijn were really reassuring, asking lots of questions to get to know the dogs and how to care for them. Whilst we were away they sent lots of photos and our dogs looked right at home. We would not hesitate to use them again.”
“Used Rachel again after she had Patch for the day and he had a great time. Rachel and her partner provide such great care for dogs in their care, they treat Patch like their own and they even took him for his swimming lesson. Rachel is such an enthusiastic person about dogs and couldn’t ask for a better service.”
About: I have always absolutely loved animals, from growing up in a village with lots of small pets to my adult life which has been centred around my love for dogs. I have lots of hands on experience with a family dog over the last 10 years, but most importantly became a dog mum to my very own rescue dog in 2024. I have experience with rescue dogs who need a little extra love and care. My dog is lead reactive on walks which means I have experience with this too. I am currently a primary school teacher which means I am available only on weekends during term time. However during school holidays I am available all day everyday to give your dog all the care and attention they need. I have a secure garden with 6ft fencing all round, which in summer doors are open throughout the day to allow freedom to roam outside whenever they please. During school holiday and on weekends, everyday I take my dog to a public enclosed park and woods area, where he can enjoy safe off lead exploring for at least an hour. He then has a shorter evening walk on lead around the residential area. There is also time for endless playing around the house and garden.
“Our first time using Rover and Tarnya was amazing. Put my mind at total ease, treated Koda like he was her own. Updates and photos too throughout. Definitely will use again. A total star x”
“Millie was well settled for her overnight stay and had lots of fun. Jordan consistently updated me with photos and videos of Millie. Jordan was very helpful in our meet and greet too and answered any queries I had. I definitely recommend booking with Jordan!”
“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! 😊”
“Great family who made me feel at ease leaving my 2 dogs (one who is still very new and nervous) I got frequent updates while theybwere there. Really happy and would definitely reccommend”
About: Me and my partner, Myles, are lifelong dog lovers and the designated dog sitters for all of our family and friends, now looking to open our home up to more dogs. After losing our senior rescue chihuahua last year, our house feels very empty without the pitter patter of paws following us around! We have many years of experience with a vast array of breeds and ages and I have also previously volunteered at a doggy daycare centre. We really do just love dogs of all sizes, shapes, temperaments and age and we would love to take care of yours! Please send me a message for more info about me or if you have any questions. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and Myles works from home all week. We are free most evenings and weekends and available for long-term boarding We live in a semi detached house which your dog would have free roam of and a secure fenced off yard. We already have many dog beds and blankets for your dog to get comfy in, along with a few sofas and an armchair that they would be welcome to take a snooze on. Your dog will never be left alone in the house, we understand it may take time for some dogs to trust new people and we are experienced and knowledgeable on building up trust safely with new dogs. Your dog will never feel pressured by us, and in turn we hope this means you will trust us with your dogs too!
“Lauren was amazing at looking after Parsley, couldn’t have asked for anything more! We felt super comfortable the entire time knowing that parsley was having a really lovely time. It was so nice to get updates every day! Thank you again!!”
“Amazing cat sitters !!! 10000% going back !! They were so reliable and so so thoughtful by sending me pictures and updates of my cat and made her feel so safe and loved (think she’s found her second parts). I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with such an amazing couple !!”
About: I have 20 years + experience of caring for dogs, I am DBS checked and first aid trained ( human). Now I have more time on my hands I would love to care for your pooch. I enjoy taking long walks with my own little fella and love being outdoors. I have experience with puppies, nervous and excitable dogs. I enjoy the socialisation puppy and dog ownership brings and love nothing more than engaging with our dog walking community. I offer short walks, long walks, cuddles, play, interaction with your precious and loyal companions. Whatever the weather you will find me walking my own fur baby, teaching him to talk and having fun. I would love to walk more pooches and give them the attention and love they deserve.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Gedling is £30

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 .
