About: I have taken care of dogs and cats most my life and my family just loves having pets around. It will be myself taking care of your pet and I can’t wait to meet them :) I work from home and so am home all day and would usually go for the walks in the morning and sometimes the afternoon too, if your pet requires 2 walks, please let me know, I have a fenced off back yard and a lot of space in the house. I can crate your dog if needed (please provide the crate), or he/she can have full roam of the house. My dog gets on very well with other dogs, he is a neutered golden retriever.
“Shuj looked after our dog brilliantly. He had a great stay and was clearly well cared for throughout. Shuj provided a safe, welcoming environment and gave him plenty of attention and care, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We could tell he was happy and comfortable, and we would not hesitate to leave him with Shuj again. We would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Leo had a lovely day with Binal and Luke. Leo was well looked after and enjoyed being with their dog Milo. Binal and Luke kept me updated during the day with photos and videos. I would definitely recommend.”
“Emily-Rose took great care of Bruce, was very welcoming and gave loads of updates through the day! He had a great day playing with her dog Luna - nice tired boy coming home!”
“Olivia was able to look after my toy poodle whilst I attended an induction at the uni nearby! she was able to take on the request last minute and was so lovely towards Marlowe, she also kept me updated via text throughout the day!!! think ive found my Guildford sitter lol xx”
“We couldn’t be happier with Julian’s experience at doggy daycare with Keshan! 🐾❤️ From the moment we met, Keshan was so attentive and caring. She asked all the right questions about Julian, his routine, personality, likes and dislikes, and made sure she understood his individual needs before looking after him. It was clear straight away that she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care and wants them to feel happy, comfortable and settled. Julian absolutely loved his day with her and came home happy and tired - which is always a great sign! 🥰 He clearly had the best time, especially being able to socialise and play with the other dogs. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being looked after by someone who was attentive, responsible and genuinely interested in making sure he had a lovely day. We’ll definitely be using Keshan again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dog. Julian is already looking forward to his next visit with Keshan and her family ❤️”
“Angus had a lovely day with Cristina. He had a walk and we were sent photos. This was a last minute booking and we had great communication with Cristina preparing for his stay. Thank you!”
About: Hi, I’m Vera! I really love spending time with dogs, but sadly I can’t have my own — not yet, anyway. I’ve had animals around me my whole life — a dachshund, a collie, and lots of cats and other dogs that my dad and mum brought home from work. 🙏🏻 Since my Labrador stayed behind in Ukraine, I miss the companionship and care of looking after animals. As I mainly work part-time, I have a son who absolutely loves dogs and helps me out, and I sometimes work from home too, I’m able to look after dogs during the day, as well as in the evenings and at weekends. Your dog will be safe and surrounded by company, care, and supervision throughout the day, making it ideal for pets who enjoy having someone around and feeling a presence nearby. Feel free to get in touch to discuss your needs, and I’ll do my best to accommodate them. I live in a safe flat in the city centre without a private garden, but there are communal fenced gardens nearby, as well as green open spaces. I won’t let the dog off the lead unless you tell me it’s safe to do so and give your consent. I can play and have fun with them so they feel happy and comfortable being with me. My son plays football and often trains/plays in different locations. I like to bring dogs along to his games so they can be nearby. If you’re happy for them to go out and about further from my home, just let me know. I live close to a few lovely parks that are great for dog walks. I’m also happy to look after big dogs, as long as they’re well trained. 🐾 Puppy Care Rate Please note: care for puppies under 1 year old is charged at £35/hour. Puppies need extra attention, supervision, and patience (housetraining, chewing, higher energy levels), which is why this rate differs from my standard pricing. This ensures your puppy gets the focused care and safety they need. Feel free to message me with any questions! 🐶
“Annie was great. It was the first sit with our young puppy. Annie kindly took the time to meet in advance to make sure our puppy would get on with her dog, and to get to know us all and vice versa. The sit went really well, we got some lovely photos and we had a very happy and tired pup at the end of the day! She had clearly been well looked after and had had a lot of fun.”
“Mikaela was amazing with my little Arla. She kept me updated on how she was doing and sent plenty of photos of her stay. I could not recommend her more. Thank you so much Mikaela”
“I highly recommend Allie for her excellent care of our Jack Russell Millie. We we impressed with Allie’s thoughtfulness and kindness towards her and the professionalism in how she dealt with the whole process. Thank you Allie!”
“Another day, another amazing stay for Diesel with Charlie. This time I required Charlie to have Diesel only for the evening. Regular updates, photos and videos and even a trip to the pub after I suggested the idea 🍻 Highly recommend Charlie for peace of mind and someone you can trust to look after your pet like it his own.”
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.
“I highly recommend Stella. She is excellent at listening to what my dog needs. Communication before and during was all good. Very easy to drop off and pick up. I will be using her again.”
About: I have grown up with two dogs in my family, raising them as puppies all the way through their lives. I now have a beautiful cat who has been with me for 4 years. I am currently working full time as a PE teacher so I am available on weekends. I will be available during the day on half terms. If coming to your home I will make sure to follow your procedures you have with your pet/s to make them feel comfortable and safe.
About: I offer a calm, home-friendly, dog-loving environment where your pup is treated like family. Based in Guildford, I take dogs on long daily walks through the stunning local nature — forests, riversides, and open green trails. Your dog gets proper exercise, fresh air, and a relaxed, comforting home atmosphere to return to. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day — regular walks, playtime, feeding, and quiet rest. Because I’m home most of the time, your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I offer a peaceful home environment where dogs can settle comfortably. No crates unless requested, no chaos, no stress — just a stable, welcoming space. I only take a limited number of dogs to ensure personalised attention and safe supervision at all times. I make sure their routines, boundaries, and comfort zones stay exactly as you prefer. Your dog’s wellbeing always comes first.
About: I’ve taken care of my dog and friends dogs’ for the last 7 years. They’ll be looked after like they are my own with lots of walks and cuddles. We have a very large garden that they can play in between walks and quiet places in our house. Unfortunately, due to allergies I can only look after hypoallergenic dogs in the house. I have plenty of time to play and walk your dog, as I rarely work and my husband is retired so always around. We have a lot of varied walks that we do in the Surrey hills and surrounding areas. I have a safe and fenced garden and 1 dog of my own, so your dog will have a playmate. Indoors we have enough rooms to ensure that your dog can have quiet times if that is what they require.

Olivia was able to look after my toy poodle whilst I attended an induction at the uni nearby! she was able to take on the request last minute and was so lovely towards Marlowe, she also kept me updated via text throughout the day!!! think ive found my Guildford sitter lol xx
Keshan and her family were fantastic looking after Levi for the day. Communication was seamless throughout, their home is lovely and welcoming, and Levi got on brilliantly with Cody. He returned home happy, and completely relaxed. I highly recommend Keshan to anyone looking for attentive, five-star dog care and would happily book again.
Binal and Luke took such good care of our collie after needing some last minute day care. They took her for a lovely walk and were very affectionate towards her. Their own dog Milo is very friendly and was a great companion to Pebble. I’ll definitely book Binal and Luke again. Thanks!!
Olivia was absolutely fantastic — Reggie had the best time at her house! The setting is lovely, with a secure garden, and she kept me updated throughout the day with how Reggie was getting on. She was also incredibly flexible with timings, which made everything so easy. If you’re looking for a dog sitter, I truly couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Mikaela looked after our puppy on two occasions for the day. She took care of him and our house whilst we were away from home for the day. She came to meet us beforehand and on both days Jasper was happy and content when we got home. We would happily use Mikaela again.
Rhea and Andy have been great - accommodating us at short notice and making the time for a pre-meet as it was Chewie’s first time with them. They kept me posted throughout the care session - which was very reassuring. And Chewi appeared relaxed and happy on collection. I woild be glad to rebook them. Thank you again Rhea and Andy.
Our pup Echo had a great time with Emily-Rose! She was well looked after and we got loads of photos to see what a great time Echo had with Nala. They are super prompt in communicating and have been very flexible with pick up and drop off timings. Would highly recommend!
booked a short walk as a way to meet the sitter before leaving my dog for a full day, and I honestly couldn’t have had a better first experience. Estheffany was absolutely lovely, so warm, kind, and clearly very experienced with animals. My dog connected with her straight away, which instantly put me at ease. You can tell she genuinely cares, and that level of trust is priceless especially when is the first time using the app and the first time leaving my dog with someone else. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and feel completely confident leaving my dog in her care for longer periods.
Cathy has had two lovely stays with Will and Frederica this week. She must have enjoyed the first stay, as she dragged us up the steps to the front door the second time! Will and Frederica paid attention to all the instructions that we provided and catered brilliantly to Cathy's needs. We would happily book again - thank you!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Guildford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Guildford on Rover is £32.2 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 13,604 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Guildford. About 87% of Guildford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Guildford commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
