“Thank you very much indeed ! This was the first time we left Poppy with anyone and had lots of photos and videos to reassure us. Poppy had a wonderful time and was very much loved and cared for. She made some lovely friends both 2 and four legged. Would not hesitate to leave her in such genuinely loving card again whenever we need. Thank so very much.”
“Milly had a fantastic two week holiday with Lea & Lucas. I would thoroughly recommend them. We always felt happy in the knowledge that she was with them and we knew that she was safe and having a lovely time. They are trustworthy, considerate and up for giving your pet the best experience possible.”
“Laura and her partner were too good. They got very friendly with my pet on the first day. I was really happy that I booked her. She took care of Rocco like her own pet. He enjoyed being with them. He had his play time also had a good walk with them. I would highly recommend them for others. Really happy with them. I’m looking forward to book them in the future.”
“We left our boy( dog) with Michelle for 10 days while we were away, and WOW was the best decision to give our dog to Michelle and Ava ( who helped and our dog become attached to her 😊). Michelle kept us updated with pictures and daily messages about our boy. I didnt felt that we left Fidel with a stranger. Michelle and her family and Wilf and Ralf embraced and welcomed Fidel. He felt at home straight away. I will definitely bring Fidel back to Michelle and highly recommend the complete package that she offers.”

Cassie was happy and relaxed straight away and Courtney took such great care of her, providing us with regular updates and photos which put our mind at ease whilst we were away knowing Cassie was well looked after. Will definitely be booking again for our next holiday”

“Maggie is a lovely lady and was very kind to our Teddy who greeted her with a leg cocked on her armchair! Nothing was too much trouble and she did her best to get Ted to eat as he was pining. He had lovely walks and the best care. This meant we could relax while away for our short break. Maggie is looking after Teddy for our next holiday in September. Lovely lady and wonderful sitter and would recommend her to everyone.”
“Thank you so much, Amanda, for taking such great care of Miley! We needed a sitter quite urgently, and Amanda was available and incredibly helpful. Miley stayed for one night and truly felt at home. We really appreciated the regular photo and video updates—it gave us so much peace of mind. We’re very happy with the experience and will definitely reach out to Amanda again in the future!”
“We left our dog, Monty, with Mauricio for a week while we were abroad and we couldn’t have asked for better care. He and the family treated Monty like part of the family and even celebrated his birthday while we were away, which was such a thoughtful touch. They bought him presents and made him a cake (made of chicken) and sent us photos and videos on the day so we didn’t feel like we were missing out too much. We were kept updated with regular messages and photos throughout the week, giving us complete peace of mind. Thank you, Mauricio, for taking such wonderful care of Monty, it looked as though he had a lovely time. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and use you again.”
About: I’ve always lived with dogs - childhood pets, dog sitting when studying and now having my own dogs. Currently we have a young setter whom we trained from a puppy. I have experience in looking after a range of dogs but the majority of my experience is with spaniels (my previous dog was a springer spaniel), retrievers and Labrador’s and their needs. I’m used to high energy dogs who need lots of walking and game playing. I have experienced first hand the transformation in a dog once it has sufficient exercise and stimulation, so will always look to ensure that your dog has enough walking and play. Our setter has suffered from separation anxiety, so I very aware of the challenges of this & the resulting behaviour. We have worked hard to overcome this & with the right routine in place can now leave him for a couple of hours. We are also working very hard with his recall & making progress, I have honestly found training a ongoing personal achievement and has strengthened our bond hugely. With active dogs, in and out of puddles etc. I am very aware regular brushing is essential to keep their coat untangled and clean. Personally I think this is a lovely way to spent sometime with your dog when they are calm in the evening and happy to spend time with your dog in this way. I’m work from home part time supporting my partners carpentry business. I have two children (4&7) so have school runs twice a day. I’m around the majority of the day otherwise. I walk our dog after school drop off for at least an hour, we go to local open spaces or drive to the country parks. I will take him for another shorter walk either before pick up or later in the day once my partner is home. I'm happy to take additional walks if this is needed for your dog or play scent games in the house & when I'm home they are always free to go in the garden. I have a two year old friendly neutered male English Setter in my home. He likes all dogs and if they are energetic he will play with them. If they are senior he respects this and is gentle. I walk with him for over an hour a day and often go for runs. I can walk other dogs with or without him. If your dog was in our home, they would be in the same space as him on the ground floor and in the garden. Dogs are not allowed upstairs in the bedrooms but provide beds in each room, so they are able to to be with me throughout the day & are not left alone. Whilst the dog will never be left alone around the children (and my children have been around dogs all their lives), it will need to be happy to be in a family environment. Our setter (like a Labrador) is happy to try and eat anything! During mealtimes, our dog and any visiting dogs will be put in a different room. He is a counter surfer and so surfaces and tables are clear of food aside from mealtimes, so they do not get anything that might upset their tummies. I'm very vigilant on keeping any non dog friendly foods well away (raisins, chocolate etc.)
“Suraj and his housemates took great care of Bow and Buddy ensuing that they were comfortable and happy. I received lots of “pupdates” and could see they were settled and content. Would definitely recommend to others and use them again.”
“Laura and family looked after Teddy very well. They have sent lots of pictures and took Teddy for long walks. Teddy had a great time. I definitely recommend Laura and her family. Thank you again for accommodating us especially knowing Teddy has special a special dietary requirement and medication.”
“We boarded Cody with Chelsea for a couple of days over New Yrs Eve. She went above and beyond and did so much to make sure our dog was comfortable and happy including stick to his training. We were updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay and from the pictures, we could tell he was happy and felt safe. We would highly recommend and will definitely board Cody with her again!”
“Hannah is absolutely brilliant,she took excellent care boarding our dog Ronnie and could not have been better with updates and videos during that time ,she and her family were very attentive to our dog and played with him constantly and gave him plenty of mental stimulation (he's a very energetic dog ).Ronnie had a brilliant time there and loved his sleepover :D”
“Thank you Hannah and Patrick for taking such good care of my baby Sky. She came home tired but happy and had obviously had a wonderful time 😊 thank you too for the pictures which always keep my mind at rest. I will definitely be booking with you guys again xx”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Jacqueline. First time using the app so was a little worried, but Jacqueline really put our minds on ease, and we did a meet and greet beforehand. It was clear from the start that Benji would be in great hands. He had such a fun time, and Benji got to experience Jacquelines daughters football match, and heard he was the talk of the game lol. We're so thankful for the care and attention Benji got and highly recommend if your looking for someone trustworthy and loving! Thanks so much!”

We are repeat customers - Danni and family are lovely, very flexible and give us lots of updates whilst we were away. Thank you Danni and Family for looking after Oscar again. He looks so happy in all of the phones and he was clearly very well looked after and loved. See you next time Oscar and family
I am so grateful to Laura and her family for taking such amazing care of Albie. From the moment she accepted my last minute booking, she has been so kind and lovely. The regular pictures and feedback I received, showed that Albie clearly felt very at home and relaxed. I’m so pleased that Albie got to join their family whilst I went away.
Thank you very much indeed ! This was the first time we left Poppy with anyone and had lots of photos and videos to reassure us. Poppy had a wonderful time and was very much loved and cared for. She made some lovely friends both 2 and four legged. Would not hesitate to leave her in such genuinely loving card again whenever we need. Thank so very much.
Jade was very good with misty sent me pics and updates on how she was getting on. I can tell she has been spoilt, misty has been a bit quiet since coming home but that is due to her missing jade and the family. The only thing that let her down was she gave misty a bath but that was my fault as I should have told her not bath misty as she gets very matted if not blowdryed properly so she is going to groomers today so they will sort her out.would I use jade again the answer is definitely. I just want to thank jade again for taking such good care of misty
First time, weekend boarding, booking with Lea and Lucas for our Cocker Spaniel, Freddy. We arranged for a ‘ meet and greet’ the week before and I was immediately put at easy with their caring manor, interest in Freddy’s welfare and how they could makes Freddy’s stay a good one. Freddy’s stay went very well and we received many detailed updates and pictures of Freddy looking comfortable, happy and loved, which was so comforting for us. It made our time away relaxing knowing that he was being really well cared for and was happy. Freddy’s medication and food was given as instructed and he was given plenty of comfort breaks in their garden- they always put Freddy’s needs first. The weather was extremely hot and Lea and Lucas provided everything needed to keep Freddy cool- A cooling mat, fans and shade, were made available for Freddy, with walks given in the cool mornings and evenings making sure Freddy was cool and comfortable. I was extremely impressed with Lea’s and Lucas excellent care and attention to Freddy’s welfare and would 100% recommend them. We would definitely like to use them again for any future occasions - thank you Lea and Lucas for your excellent care, Freddy, Mark and I were very happy! 😊

We are so happy to have left Teddy our 5 year old cockapoo with Courtney. We received regular updates with lots of walks and we could see that Teddy was happy and comfortable over his 2 week stay. Courtney clearly loves and understands dogs and we would highly recommend her.

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 South East 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.
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 .
