“This was the first time we used Jessica, and we were not disappointed. From the messages before the visit to the care and photo updates while we were away, everything was excellent. Boris, being a bulldog, has specific food requirements and a set routine, which Jessica and her family adapted to perfectly. We felt completely reassured knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. Boris does not like the car and we always have trouble on collection but Jessica’s husband helped get Boris in the car with care, he is now snuggled up having had his favourite dinner , doing his favourite hobby of snoozing 💤”
“Our dog Leo absolutely loved staying with Lucia and her family, we loved receiving updates how he is getting on. We definitely will book with her again and we know Leo will be so happy to see Lucia and her lovely family again.”
“Leo had a great time with Hollie. It was the first time he had stayed with anyone apart from a family member, so I was a little apprehensive. However, Hollie made me feel confident and at ease right from the moment we met. She sent regular updates and photos and reassured me he had settled in well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to board their dog.”
“Our usual dog sitter moved recently and we were pretty hard-pressed looking for someone close by. We then came across Constancia and her son Ivan. I am so happy that we chose them. Bella has been looked after and pampered. I couldn't have asked for anything more. She is happy and content. Constancia kept us up to date with pictures and video's of her time. I would highly recommend them and use them again. Thank you.”
“Amanda is right up there with the best. She was incredibly accommodating and Oscar loved every minute of his stay with her and her lovely family. She communicates regularly with lovely photos and I would happily recommend Amanda to anyone.”
“Jane was fantastic. She made us feel really comfortable leaving our dog with her. She sent regular updates/photos and it was easy to see our dog was having a great time. Would highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve had dogs around me for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and personalities, giving me plenty of experience in understanding their individual needs and routines. I know how important it is for owners to feel confident that their dog is safe, happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every dog staying with me will be treated with kindness, patience and plenty of affection, just like a member of the family. My goal is to provide a loving, calm and secure environment where your dog can feel relaxed, comfortable and at home. I am at home full-time, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone and will receive constant care and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to keep to your dog’s usual feeding times, toilet breaks and walking routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing in a calm environment, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved throughout their stay. We have a warm, dog-loving family home where every dog is treated like part of the family. I live with my husband, our two university-aged children and our 4-year-old daughter, who is gentle and respectful around animals. We have a fully fenced, secure garden with plenty of space to explore, play and relax safely. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every pet receives plenty of individual attention, care and affection.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9 so have lots of experience from puppies to senior dogs, of all sizes. I have lots of time and energy to dedicate to your dog! I am currently home from uni for the summer so I’m very flexible! I am free seven days a week for walks, feeding, playing, sitting and boarding your dog I have a fenced garden and live very close to many great places for walking and playing with dogs. I have a senior lhasa poo that gets on great with dogs of all ages and sizes
“Jessica is great with Oreo, he's a very nervous little dog but he seems to settle here. Its quite a calm environment and he is given lots of love care and the space he needs to relax and feel safe. Jessica sends regularly updates throughout the stay which helps us relax. He's a regularly here now!”
“Sophie went above and beyond at such short notice. She loved Archie like he was her own, she even sent me a picture of him sleeping at her nanna’s looking very cosy. Engaged with me whenever needed. Highly recommended. Sophie, you are a superstar and you are on our booking list for our next holiday. He has come back one happy boy which pleases mummy and daddy very much. Thank you once again xx”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Vivianne gave our dog while we were away on holiday abroad for a week. She kept us updated every day with messages and pictures, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that our dog was happy, comfortable, and enjoying his time with her. Vivianne is friendly, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We truly appreciate the effort she put into making sure our dog was well looked after. We will definitely reach out to her again the next time we need someone we can trust to care for our beloved dog. Highly recommended!”
“This was my first experience of Rover, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Finding Faye through the platform has been transformational to how I'll manage dog care for my precious pup, though! Faye is a fantastic, warm and engaging person who dispelled any reservations about leaving my dog with a stranger in an instant! Her love of dogs was palpable from the outset and she made Poppy feel completely at home! I looked forward to the regular updates on the adventures they had been on and the games she'd been entertaining Poppy with, and loved seeing the bond she'd formed with my little dog! I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Faye - she's been an incredible find and she'll definitely be my first choice for dog care in future! 😊”
“Gus has had test another fantastic stay at Karina’s. He was welcomed with open arms and became part of the family for the week. He was well and truly looked after and had endless fun with them. Thank you Karina and Diogo, we really appreciate you taking care of Gus so well.”

We are confident adapting our care to suit each dog’s individual personality and needs. We are also first aid trained, giving owners extra peace of mind knowing their dogs are in safe, caring hands. Our aim is to make every dog feel happy, comfortable Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine. I work during the week but have weekends off, while my partner is currently at home and has a flexible schedule throughout the week. This means there is usually someone available to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. We work together to ensure every pet receives consistent care, lots of love, and their usual routine is maintained as closely as possible.

We follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if required), and any special routines. We provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while respecting each pet’s boundaries and preferences. We also send regular updates and photos, so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and well cared for. Our goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible, giving them a calm, caring environment where they feel secure while you’re away.
“Highly highly recommend leaving your pets with Kira! Our 7-month puppy had the best time at hers, was well looked after in a heatwave, was safe uand happy. She has a wonderful dog proof home and a supportive partner - it was a perfect environment and company for our puppy. We received frequent updates and photos. Their communication was great and flexible.”
“Kelly was fabulous with our little pocket rocket. She was very thorough and we had an initial meeting for her and I to meet and for our pup to meet her too, which set my mind at rest. Ossie could not have been happier when we collected him, he had been looked after like a member of the family and was settled and healthy when we collected him. We also received the odd photo which was lovely to help us stay connected, but the right amount so we could concentrate on the holiday. I would thoroughly recommend her and Ossie would, I am sure, love to go and stay again.”
“Alfie had the best time with Hannah, I received pictures whilst he was with her and he came back happy! It is clear Hannah has great knowledge with dogs the initial set up was easy and Hannah was very considerate of Alfie’s needs! Will 100% use Hannah again!”

We could not be happier that we found Faye to look after our cocker spaniel Murphy for 3 nights. She came to meet him in advance of the stay and it's clear she loves dogs as he didn't bark once when she arrived (which he is prone to doing). The stay went brilliantly, Murphy settled straight away and thoroughly enjoyed his long walks. We were kept updated regularly with photos and videos and Faye was so friendly to deal with. 100% recommend
Joanne was fantastic with our 2 dogs and cat. I was worrying as hadn't left them for a few years, she made me feel relaxed and I knew everything was going to be ok. Ruby, Bear and Peanut came back, happy, relaxed and as if they hadn't been away. I had no anxiety, they were all looked after and all our pets were happy. A big thank you!
Eleanor and Edward are a very caring couple who did an excellent job of looking after Monty for a few days. Communication was clear and prompt, keeping us up to date with how the stay was going and making the whole experience feel very reassuring. Monty came home a happy and healthy dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.
Luke was so lovely and it was a genuine pleasure to see him bond with my dog and treat her as if she were his own. My dog Juno was happy and exhausted when we picked her up (a fantastic sign!) and it was genuinely touching to see that Luke seemed sad to say goodbye— will definitely make sure she gets to hang out with him again.
Rob took great care of Binky and she had a really happy stay. She had good exercise (needed for her energy levels!) and he was really attentive with her diet and preferences etc. giving her a real home from home experience. Rob was also really communicative and sent us photos and messages throughout her stay. We would certainly recommend Rob as a sitter and we hope to use him again in future to look after our much loved little girl.
Gus has had test another fantastic stay at Karina’s. He was welcomed with open arms and became part of the family for the week. He was well and truly looked after and had endless fun with them. Thank you Karina and Diogo, we really appreciate you taking care of Gus so well.
While we were abroad for a family wedding, Stanley spent 8 days with Denas, Jacob & Everett. It was great for us to know he was left in such capable and caring hands. We were updated regularly but not too much; perfect when we were so far away. We’re moving out of the area and one of the real disappointments for us is that we’ll be losing the help of Denas & Jacob; they’ve been invaluable. Stanley is also gutted that he won’t be spending time with his best-mate Everett again! Thank you both for everything!
Giovana looked after our boy Javi for three weeks while we were out of the country. We once previously left him at a kennel and swore we would never do it again after his demeanour on our return. This time he had come home completely happy and normal, well groomed, healthy and completely unstressed. We were very grateful for the daily photos and videos that let us know he was having a good time, getting plenty of exercise and was being treated as a member of the family. We could not be happier with our choice of Giovana and will be definitely using her again for future trips. Thanks Giovana.
Lijana is fabulous very knowledgeable and most importantly my dog loved her….dogs know where they are loved. I was updated each day with some gorgeous photos of his activities out playing in the woods. I had my mind settled straight away that he was calm and having a great time. In fact he looked to be having such a good time I don’t think he wanted to come home. Highly recommended I won’t hesitate to leave my boy with Lijana she’s amazing.

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 Yorkshire and the Humber 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 .
