“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!”
“Bagheera was happy and well looked after. He can sometimes be unsure of men but took really well to maxines husband. I would be more than happy to leave Bagheera with them again. Thank you for looking after him while we was away.”
“Absolutely amazing, Evie has had the most amazing time and was so happy. Cannot recommend enough 10/10 and lots of communication, pictures and general check ins :)”
About: I grew up with pets so I know what it takes to keep them happy & healthy. I am very energetic and good at keeping control of the leash during walks. Beagles have a special place in my heart. I have owned birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, cats, fish, and dogs. Dogs are the world's greatest friends. Having me as a dog walker/sitter will make you feel at ease because you know your dog is safe with me. I am very reliable, and have good references. I am available any day and time. I work from home, which provides a lot of flexibility and allows me to spend time with my dog and take care of others. Dogs are allowed upstairs and on the furniture. My home is their home! There are quiet spaces provided if your dog prefers to have its own space.
“Sidney was looked after sooo well, Nick and Louise really love dogs and we're brilliant at giving us updates and photos of Sid on walks. Sid got on well with Flo, their pug which was great as Sid is a really social dog and this would have been fab for him to have a playmate. Thank you very much, we will definitely send Sid to you again xx”
“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.”
“Duke stayed with Billie for 4 days at very short notice.We got lots to of photos and messages. I even got one from him wishing me happy Mother’s Day. We were happy with the care he got and will use again Thanks Billie and family”
“Shirley and her family looked after our cockapoo and springer spaniel so wonderfully, they sent us lots of photos and videos of the boys playing in their garden, out on walks and having a great time. Wouldn’t hesitate to return - thanks so much!”
“Lianne & David made us all feel very welcome when we visited for a pre meet. They asked all the right questions to make sure Richmond felt right at home and we will definitely be booking again.”
“Very warm, friendly family who all love dogs. It felt Good to leave Trixie with them. Rebecca was easy to communicate with. She responded fast to our questions. They did everything to make it easy for our dog to feel comfortable. Everything went really well”
About: Myself and husband Alan were raised with family dogs and once married we got our first family pet Billy who was a golden Labrador. He was loved by all due to his temperament and behaviour around everyone and we were devastated to lose him aged 13. After 18 months we missed the companionship we always had with Billy and chose Mabel the labradoodle who was 12 weeks when she came to live with us. She became our 3rd child and was cherished from the start. Sadly we lost her aged 12 years and 6 months 2 years ago. Both our grown children now have dogs which we regularly look after when they go away. We both love having them for ‘sleepovers’ and love walking with the ‘grand’ dogs as they both fit into our family unit. Due to commitments we now have with 4 grandchildren we are not in a position to have another dog full time but miss the company and regular walks. We would love to have the opportunity to help people out on a short term basis. I work part time and look after grandchildren for one day. Alan works full time. Looking after a dog on a short term basis on the days we can where we are completely free to will mean we can give regular exercise & love. We have an enclosed garden for safety & security. All dogs will have full access to our house at any time they are here with us.
“We left our little puppy with Hannah for a couple of nights to go to a family wedding. Hannah was amazing to say the least, we received updates throughout and Hannah did amazingly putting up with Betty’s diva behaviour and accommodating to her needs when she was unsettled slightly. Betty was cared for in so many ways including play, training and walks including Hannah understanding her puppy napping needs. Hannah is a very relaxed and kind pet sitter who never made us feel like we needed to rush and reassured us throughout! We also got to meet gorgeous Marley who is so sweet! We will absolutely use Hannah’s services again 🥰🥰”
“Thank you for having Winnie and Obi for a trial. They seemed to have a very nice relaxing time. We feel so much better about leaving them for a week. thank you for the photo updates and they seemed to have a lot of fun out in your beautiful garden. X”
“This was the 2nd time Honey has been on her own little holiday at Diane’s lovely home and couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Highly recommended always can relax knowing she’s being loved and cared for with updated pics and messages even a birthday message for my daughter from honey was so lovely and thoughtful. Thank you again will definitely be back for more dog sitting in the future.”
“Jasmine was an absolute legend with looking after my boy Baloo. She went above and beyond to reassure me even before dropping him off to stay with her, she met us first down mousehold heath and then let me view her lovely home. She totally eased my separation anxiety by providing daily updates and photos of my rascal of a dog which then I could fully enjoy my holiday and feel relaxed throughout. She even washed all of the tuppperware containers which contained dog food it was so kind of her. She had him from 20/04/24 to 01/05/24 with no problems at all. My boy looked happy and content in all of the photos she provided and when I went to pick him up he looked as healthy and happy just the same as the day I dropped him off round hers. I will definitely be using her service again 100% satisfaction. I highly recommend her worth every penny 😁👍”
“Such a kind and thoughtful woman. Our dog is allergic to Christmas trees, and Andrea was so accommodating, that she moved her tree away from any areas our dog had access too. We got the feeling that nothing was too much trouble for her, and we're very grateful that she could take in our dog at such short notice. We would definitely recommend Andrea and her beautiful dog.”
About: Hi! I’m Caitlin, a huge dog lover and proud owner of my Fox Red Labrador, Wesley 🐾 I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, so I’d love to provide a safe, loving home away from home environment while you’re away. I’m used to all the fun (and chaos!) that comes with having a dog and understand that every pup has their own personality, routine and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing, cuddles on the sofa or simply having someone around, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and feel settled and happy. I’m reliable, caring and would treat your dog exactly as I’d want Wesley to be treated. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away, because I know you’ll probably want to see what they’re getting up to! 🥰 I’d love to get to know you and your dog and hopefully become their favourite home away from home. I work full time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility around caring for your dog. I’m available for boarding throughout weekends and can accommodate weekday bookings depending on my work schedule. I have a secure, fenced garden and a friendly Labrador, Wesley, who loves having other dogs around. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and part of the family. I’m also happy to follow their usual routine, including walks, feeding and crate sleeping if needed. Wesley gets walked 2-3 times a day in the woodlands opposite our estate. He also loves his trips to the park and the beach! 🏝️
“Julie looked after Poppy at short notice, and was so easy going and relaxed that I didn't have any worries. Poppy wasn't anxious when I went to pick her up so I think she had a lovely time! Would definitely book again.”
About: I’ve got experience with taking care of lots of different types of dogs as I have helped out with friends and family. I have always loved dogs from a young age and always treat any dog that i look after like my own - making sure they are fed and watered, walked daily and making time to play. I currently work part time (Monday - Wednesday) and I generally only have to go into the office on a Tuesday, therefore I can be at home every day apart from Tuesdays. I have a fenced garden and live in a safe and quiet little village just outside of Norwich. I don’t have any pets so your Dog will get my full attention :)

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.

FAQs for Boarding – Great Yarmouth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Great Yarmouth on Rover is £27.6 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 205 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Great Yarmouth. 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 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 .
