“Irina was brilliant with Miro. He clearly loved his time with her and she sent regular updates during his stay. I will definitely book with Irina again. Highly recommended. Thanks you!”
“We have used Sara many times this year and our dog is so excited when we arrive at her front door which I think is a great sign of a wonderful dog sitter! She sends lots of updates and photos which give my children great comfort when they are apart from their furry friend. Highly recommend :)”
“Vera has been fantastic in looking after Ronnie and gave him plenty of walks. I’d recommend Vera to anyone looking for a dog carer who will give your dog the one to one attention they may need.”
“Coco spent a week with Daniela and had a lovely time with her and her family. We had regular updates and photos, and Daniela was quick to respond to messages we sent her. When we picked Coco up she was very happy and was jumping up at Daniela to say goodbye, we could tell she'd been well looked after and would definitely book for her to stay with Daniela again.”
About: Having been pet owners all our lives we have genuine care for pets happiness and wellbeing with a range of breeds. I’m a dog agility enthusiast with significant agility training under my belt including regular shows and competitions. We currently have a friendly 5 year old female labrador who would be around when pet sitting or walking! My partner Dan and I both manage this account so we can ensure around the clock care and responses. We’re therefore regularly walking our dog Nala and have the ability to look after your pet with as much care as we do our own. We have a fenced garden and access to lots of local parks. We have a 5 year old female labrador so the dog would have to be friendly with other dogs.
“We couldn’t recommend Lucy and Nick highly enough - they were responsive, sent us photos, kept us updated and were lovely to deal with. It was so nice feeling that Norman was being well looked after whilst we were away. Thank you.”
“Cristina takes very gentle care of my senior dog and is really helping her settle after being abandoned by her previous care giver. She sends regular and lovey updates and I would absolutely recommend Cristina”
“Emily was very prompt to respond to us. She quickly arranged a meeting out for a walk with us, where we met her and her partner, Alex and dog, Willow to ensure everyone got on well. They were very attentive to Sonny’s needs and when he stayed with them gave us plenty of updates and Sonny looked very happy. We’ve already booked Emily and Alex to look after Sonny for our next trip away.”
About: Always had dogs in the family and have 2 of my own. Comfortable home away from home experience for dogs of all ages. Surrounded by beautiful countryside to enjoy. I work from home full time, my meetings are in a bedroom so dogs will always have company. Only have a couple of meetings a day on teams, so aLeah’s around and available for walks, toilet breaks & cuddles. I have a fully fenced back garden which is secure. Lots of beds and/or comfortable sofas to sleep on, and miles of local countryside walks to enjoy on the common.
“Agnieszka and her family were absolutely brilliant for the time they took care of Nala. It made me feel really happy and comfortable knowing she was being taken care of so well and I will 100% be booking with them again!!”
“Anneliese was excellent and Gumbo seems to have had a great time. Their house and garden were gorgeous and Anneliese sweetly kept me updated with information through our holiday. We were really happy and grateful”
“What a wonderful family! I don't even know where to start. We were worried about leaving our reactive dog for a week, but Shuj couldn't have been more welcoming. She was very attentive to Callie's needs, food, walking habits and behaviours. I could tell straight away she was in good hands. The updates we received throughout the week gave us real peace of mind so we could enjoy our holiday. Callie was so well cared for she cried when we left! Shuj and her family are absolutely wonderful. Her children bought toys for Callie and showed her so much love. We can't thank you all enough ❤️”
“Olivia was great with our dog! Both Olivia and her partner showed eperience, and real care & attentiveness to Watson, who can sometimes be nervous and anxious in new environments. He was at ease immediately, which gave us the peace of mind we needed. We received frequent updates and photos of their adventures, showing clearly how much Watson enjoyed himeself! I will call on Olivia again if we are ever in the area again. 10/10”
“Brilliant as always! Bailey had a fab time and enjoyed every second of his visit once again! Thoughtful photos and updates, Ranjana and family plus Dizzy are the best dog sitters!!”
“Margie was a blessing. Communication was easy and flowed all the time, before and during the boarding. I received regular updates and pictures, and my dog cared for nothing. She was really welcomed and treated like a princes. Many thanks Margie, and see you next time!”
“Karen did an excellent job with looking after Coco. Great communication throughout out with photos every day of Coco’s little holiday with her. The fact that when I picked her up, Coco kept going back for more cuddles with Karen said it all. She had clearly had a great time and I wouldn’t hesitate to have Coco stay with her again.”
“Binal was amazing! I was so nervous as it was my first time leaving my boy with a sitter but she was brilliant. She made sure I received regular updates and lots of photos. She treated my dog like it was her own and he had so much fun! Definitely recommend ♥️”
“Diesel had a great stay with Charlie, everything was plain sailing, regular updates and photos which is always reassuring. Both are now best friends, would definitely recommend Charlie for a stress free peace of mind stay for your pet :)”
About: Having had pets all my life I understand how worrying it can be to leave your pet at home when you can't take them with you. That's why I'm keen to give you a worry-free experience and the best walks, adventures and cuddles available. I'm available throughout the week and flexible with drop off/pick up times, so ideal for busy people! I'm currently available all week, so can visit/walk in line with your requirements. At the moment I'm available weekdays, evenings and weekends. I'm also flexible on pick up and drop off times. Happy to care for your pets in line with your requirements, so you can let me know everything that your pet needs. This includes feeding, playtime and anything else that makes them feel happy and comfortable. I have a lovely rescue dog of my own who is very sweet and affectionate. She can take a little time to get used to other dogs, so we always take introductions slowly and carefully. Your dog's safety and happiness, as well as hers, will always come first.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Guildford is £35

Irina was absolutely wonderful! We recently moved to the area and were worried about finding the right person to take care of our dog Luka, but Irina put all our minds at ease. She sent us photos of Luka every day and made sure he got plenty of exercise. He was so happy in her care. Communication was great, and she was flexible and understanding when we were late for pick‑up. We will definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
Olivia was great with our dog! Both Olivia and her partner showed eperience, and real care & attentiveness to Watson, who can sometimes be nervous and anxious in new environments. He was at ease immediately, which gave us the peace of mind we needed. We received frequent updates and photos of their adventures, showing clearly how much Watson enjoyed himeself! I will call on Olivia again if we are ever in the area again. 10/10
Jess had a great time with Sonja, her partner Magnus and her own fox red - Hunter - with whom Jess seemed to get on extremely well - she was very reluctant to leave at the end of her week’s stay! Sonya and Magnus clearly love dogs and we were confident Jess would be well cared for. Hunter is also a lovely dog and they seemed to play together really well. We had regular photos and videos sent to us, and Sonja was very responsive whenever I messaged her. We will definitely be using Sonja again!
I felt very happy leaving my dog with Freddie and her partner. Their years of experience caring for dogs was immediately evident and their home is a lovely pet friendly space. Freddie was also quick to respond and abke to help at short notice. I would not hesitate in reccomending them to others and Marley looks forward to his next stay!

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Guildford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Guildford on Rover is £40.25 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 12,691 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Guildford. 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 .
