“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! 😊”

“Laura gave me regular updates, with pictures and videos of Buddy, which reassured us he was ok. Buddy seemed to have had a great time staying with Laura and the other dogs and I would recommend her to other people. Laura is professional and is obviously a dog lover and provided Buddy with everything he needed whilst he stayed with her. We would definitely use Laura again if we need someone to look after Buddy. Thank you Laura for everything!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet lover with hands-on experience looking after my own two dogs, so I truly understand how much love, attention, and care our furry family members need. Looking after pets is something my whole family enjoys. My 13-year-old son absolutely loves dogs and enjoys spending time playing and caring for them. My husband is also a dedicated dog lover, so your pet will be surrounded by people who genuinely enjoy their company and understand their needs. I know from personal experience how expensive and stressful it can feel to leave your pets when going on holiday. More importantly, every pet parent wants to know their fur baby is safe, happy, and well cared for. That’s exactly what I aim to provide — a loving, comfortable home where your pets can enjoy their own little holiday while you enjoy yours. My goal is to offer loving, trustworthy care at a reasonable price, so pet parents can feel confident and comfortable. I would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies and make them feel right at home. Looking forward to welcoming your pets and hopefully meeting you soon! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. My mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and playtime or walks with my own pets. Throughout the day, I make time for cuddles, grooming, and a bit of training or enrichment activities to keep them happy and active. When I care for other pets, I easily blend their routines into my schedule — I’m very organized and flexible, making sure each pet gets the right amount of attention, exercise, and love. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do occasionally — it’s part of who I am and how I live my day-to-day life. 🐶🐱❤️ I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly space where they can relax and playDaily routines include feeding, fresh water, exercise, and lots of cuddles.I make sure each pet feels at home — with cozy spots, toys, and plenty of love. For cats, I maintain a calm environment with quiet spaces, clean litter boxes, and gentle interaction.
“Kevin, Denise, and their girls were absolutely fantastic! Our 1-year-old British Bulldog, Molly, had a wonderful two-week stay with their family. We received daily photos and videos of her playing, eating, and enjoying plenty of walks. It was clear she was having the best time! In fact, when we went to pick her up, she looked like she didn’t want to leave! We’re so grateful to Kevin and his family for the love and care they gave to Molly, and for giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Knowing she was safe, happy, and truly part of their family meant the world to us. We’ll definitely be booking with them again and can’t recommend them highly enough!”
“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!”
“Natalie was truly amazing. She was incredibly kind and very understanding throughout the entire time. She cared for my puppy as if it were her own, which gave me such peace of mind. Every day, she sent me photos and updates, keeping me reassured and informed about how my puppy was doing. When I opened Latte’s bag, I was touched to find a lovely card and a photo of my puppy, which was such a thoughtful and personal gesture. I will 100% be using Natalie again to look after my puppy and would highly recommend her to others.”
“Clare looked after our dogs, Rocco and Lenny, for two weeks while we were away, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. From the very beginning, Clare took the time to really understand both dogs, their personalities, routines, and individual needs, which immediately gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear throughout their stay that she genuinely bonded with them and treated them with so much care and attention. We really appreciated her thoughtful approach and the reassurance of knowing they were in such capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Clare to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be using her services again the next time we travel.”
“Wayne was fantastic with our dog Tyson, he was attentive to his needs and adapted around the May heat wave to looks after him. He also kept sent us pictures and kept us up to date regularly so we didn’t have to worry how he was doing - highly recommended!”
“Absolutely incredible sit. It was a super last minute request on our part and these guys jumped at the challenge. Their communication was incredible, constant photos and videos so we were always confident Rocky was safe and happy. I couldn’t recommend anyone more. Thank you so much! Rocky will definitely be back for another sleepover.”
“After finding Katrina and her family as an emergency for our wedding in September 2024 as we had been let down last min, there was no doubt in our mind that we was sending our pups back to her for our honeymoon. Our pups love it with her as you can see from the photos, constant updates and reassurance and I couldn’t recommend her enough. 5 star from us, I hope she never stops the business as would be hard to find someone as amazing as her to have our pups. :)”
“What a lovely lady. We arranged a pre stay visit to see if Wilson was compatible with Wendy. He took to her straight away which set my mind at ease. He stayed with her her for three weeks with no problems. I could tell from the regular updates and photos he was enjoying his stay there. She has a great house and garden plus a park in close proximity. I highly recommend Wendy as I will be choosing her again if and when the need arises.”
“Cannot recommend Courtney enough! 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”
“Used Hannah & Matt for the first time for 1 night; can honestly say our 2 spaniels had the best time.To find a sitter who understands the needs of a busy spaniel is wonderful. We had update photos throughout their stay. They showed genuine interest and care for our dogs. We will definitely be using Hanbah and Matt again.”

My booking with Dani was very last minute as I had been let down by another sitter, but how fortunate we were to have found her! We were kept updated with photos during our holiday and it was clear that Jasper felt very much at home. In fact he sulked for two days after we collected him because I think he was missing his ‘other family’! I can’t thank Dani enough and would definitely book with her 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.

She truly treated kira as part of the family aand we are extremely greatful. Would definitely be using Jenny again!☺️
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.
Freddy stayed over night with Lilly and was well taken care of and made very welcome in her home. This was the second time that Freddy has stayed with Lilly. We received regular updates and photos, it was lovely to see Freddy relaxed and enjoying himself. Thank you Lilly for taking such good care of Freddy and giving him lots of love.

FAQs for Boarding - Gravesham
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gravesham on Rover is £36.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 14,280 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gravesham. 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 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 .
