“Nina looked after our dog at her home while we were away on holiday, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. She was kind, considerate, and incredibly gentle, and it was clear from the start that our dog was in very safe hands. We especially loved the regular photos and updates Nina sent while we were away- it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled our dog was. Nina took her out to some lovely places, kept her active and busy, and clearly gave her lots of attention and affection. We would absolutely recommend Nina to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter. We will definitely be re-booking the next time we go away!”
“Jake has only been left with family before so it was a different environment for him. Billie was very patient with Jake as he is an older dog and can be stubborn. I was kept up to date with photo's which was lovely. I would be happy to recommend Billie and for Jake to stay again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, family, friends and neighbours have always asked me to walk and care for their dogs when they are busy and give them a happy loving place when they can’t be around. I now have 2 dogs of my own a chihuahua and a French bulldog they’re both fully trained, they’re spoilt everyday with love and lots of play time. I love making a dogs day the best day possible while in my care. I’m available everyday from morning to afternoon and have plenty of time to play with your pups! You can always count on me to be ready to give your pets the best day! I have a dog to keep your fur baby company, we will have plenty of cuddles and play time. You will have no need to worry when leaving your babies with me they will always be in the safest hands having loads of fun.
“Maxine went above & beyond to care for Tilly during the very hot weather we are currently experiencing. Regular photo’s and messages letting us know how she was doing, Tilly always looked relaxed & cool. We would highly recommend Maxine to care for your pooches. Thank you Maxine.”
“Lianne and David were brilliant!! Wilf loved his stay with them and they couldn’t do enough to make him feel at home and comfortable . They were so lovely and so sensitive to his needs . From start to finish we didn’t have to worry at all and were able to have a great holiday … Wilf had the best time, he loved Lianne and David. I think he was a bit annoyed when we brought him home after his stay !! Thank you both so much”
“Diane looked after our dog Rufus for the weekend in her home. We received regular updates and photos which we were very grateful for. It was a hot weekend and Diane was so considerate of this, ensuring that Rufus was only walked in the cooler mornings/evenings. Rufus returned so calm and happy we would definitely use Diane again and recommend her to others. Thanks Diane!”
“Shirley-Ann went above and beyond to make Sure Toby ( and myself ) were happy. Such a lovely lady. I Was sent numerous photos, videos and updates. Toby was so well looked after, I don't think he wanted to leave. Would definitely recommend to anybody like me who are worried about leaving their dog for the first time. Toby will definitely be returning, Think he is already missing his new friends.”
“This was a second sit by Macey for our two dogs and, as before, the doggies had a lovely time with her. They were well cared for and went for some lovely walks. Macey sent us lots of great photos to let us know how the doggies were doing and I would thoroughly recommend Macey as a great dog sitter. Thanks, Macey !”
About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was little and absolutely love them! 8 years ago I became a qualified Dog groomer which I still love doing, before this I done 2 years at college in animal care. Being a dog groomer has gave me the experience with handling or sorts of different dogs. I’m currently at work on Mondays. I’m at home for the majority of the week with my daughter so that gives us plenty of time to spend with your doggies Our garden is completely fenced off with two gates. If you’d like your dog to be crated we are happy to do so but would need to be supplied.
“Highly recommend Sandra as a sitter. Amber was with Sandra for a week, everyday we had photos and videos, which were lovely to see. We were not worried about leaving Amber but our only concern was eating her food, but Sandra came up with an idea straight away which was brilliant. Amber had an absolutely great time with you all so thank you all once again.”
About: I have been lucky enough to have grown up with dogs and have always had a four legged companion. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around dogs has taught me how to understand their individual needs and make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I provide a calm, caring, and reliable environment where every dog is treated like part of the family. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, and sticking to your dog's usual routine to help them feel at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine,as I have fury friends of my own. As a part-time shift worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. On my days off, I'm home for most of the day, and even on workdays I carefully plan my schedule to ensure dogs receive regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I do my best to stick to their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. There are lovely walks around the area I live and I enjoy planning new adventures for my fury friends. I follow each pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions provided by their owner. I have a large, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under my supervision. Inside, they'll have plenty of space to relax and will be treated like part of the family, with lots of attention, affection, and companionship.
“Absolutely amazing! We struggle to leave Murphy with anyone due to his (and ours) anxious. However they kept in constant contact whilst we were away and Murphy instantly felt relaxed with them! We will be going with Ann and Jacques for the foreseeable now! Can’t thank them enough!”
“Perry had a lovely time and Jasmine sent me some lovely photos and updates during Perry’s stay. I had peace of mind as Jasmine went above and beyond in taking care of Perry. I recommend Jasmine and would like to say a huge thank you.”
“I stumbled upon Andrea's services and I can't believe how lucky I got! She treated my dog like her own and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. She sent updates frequently, provided special food, long walks, and lots of affection. ❤️ I was able to completely relax and enjoy a holiday because of how wonderful and ease she made me feel. Can't recommend enough!”
“Heidi recently looked after our lively little Cavapoochon overnight. Bingo clearly had a great time and seemed very at home when I collected him. Bingo will definitely be staying with Heidi again and I would wholeheartedly recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a welcoming, caring home from home for their dog.”

We needed something last minute to look after our dog as we come away on holiday and when we booked the holiday didn’t realise how hot the weather was going to be And could not leave her in the caravan by herself whilst we was out and we couldn’t bring her with us due to it also being too hot. Macey took on a last minute booking and it was a great help. Bubbles was looked after so well, I was send updates as to how she was doing regularly and I had absolutely no problems at all. Even though my dog didn’t make the best first impression, macey was so lovely about it and bubbles had a great day. Would definitely use again if we are in the area. Thank you so much.
Jemima is a brilliant Dogsitter. I felt very happy leaving our miniature dachshund Otto with her for the day as on meeting she is a lovely calm person who I knew our dog would be happy with. She sent me a photo of him chilling with her on the sofa. After I picked him up Otto was very relaxed and settled down quickly at home. I would highly recommend Jemima to other dog owners and will definitely use her services again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Great Yarmouth on Rover is £27.6 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 .

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 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.
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 .
