“Frankie absolutely loved her time with Hollie and her new fur friend Oscar. Hollie is great at communicating and super flexible which I am very grateful for. We look forward to our future visits - thank you!”

“Eleanor and Edward are the best possible people to care for your dog. Stanley 100% loves them and dotty more than us now, and always comes back to happy and tired. I couldn’t recommend anyone more.”

“Amanda and her family are so so lovely. I’ve never walked into somebody’s house and felt so welcomed before. My dog Angel was very happy being there playing with the kids. I will definitely use Amanda’s services again and I highly recommend!”


“Our 3.5 month pup had a lovely day with Jessica and her husband. We plan for him to stay while we go on holiday and wanted to give him chance to get to know them first. We were anxious as we had not left him with anyone else, but we didn’t need to worry as he settled straight away- and had lots of fun. Jessica is quick to respond to messages and sent photos of his day. Thank you”

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.
“Coco had a fantastic time with Vivianne - she enjoyed every minute and was well looked after. She had fun in the garden and thrived on the company of the other dog. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away and Vivianne’s attention to detail in sending me a video of Coco playing was greatly appreciated and a lovely touch. I will definitely have Coco looked after by Vivianne again in the future when in the Harrogate area!”

“Our Apollo has a great time with Constancia and her family. When dropping him off, he jumps out of the car straight to the door and once it’s opened, he’s off which is very reassuring.”

“Absolutely incredible experience. Hannah took great care of Ewok, and kept us in the loop throughout the day while she got much-needed socialization time with the other dogs. Could not have asked for a better sitter - highly recommended.”

I’m responsible, gentle, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and giving regular updates with photos and messages.

“We were so impressed with the care and love Emily gave to our Lhasa Apso Bobby ( Bob the Dog). It is the first time we have left him outside family and we were nwrvous. But Emily clearly had the knack of making him completely at home and Bob made friends with her dog Lando. She texted us after an hour to reassure us all was good and the photos were lovely of his stay. We would absolutely recommend Emily to other owners.”


About: When boarding with me your dog will become part of our family and be cared for as if they were my own. I provide a genuine home-from-home boarding experience where every dog receives individual care and plenty of affection. I am a fully licensed and insured home dog boarder with many years of hands-on animal care experience. Prior to dog boarding I worked as a veterinary nurse and owned my own dog, giving me valuable knowledge of canine health, behaviour and welfare. Animals have always been at the heart of my life, and caring for them is something I am truly passionate about. To ensure every dog receives the highest level of care and attention, I intentionally keep my numbers low. Although I am licensed to board up to three dogs, I generally care for no more than two at a time. This allows me to provide each guest with plenty of one-to-one attention and maintain a calm, relaxed environment. My home has a secure, fully enclosed grass garden where dogs can safely play, relax and explore. I am also fortunate to be surrounded by beautiful woodland walks and open countryside, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for enjoyable walks, sniffing adventures and mental stimulation. As a family home, your dog will enjoy lots of companionship throughout the day. My children absolutely love animals and enjoy spending time playing, cuddling and giving our canine guests plenty of affection. Every interaction is carefully supervised, creating a safe, loving environment where dogs quickly feel at home. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn about their personality, routine and individual needs. Whether they enjoy long countryside walks, playing games, relaxing or simply being close to people, I will do my best to mirror the routine they are used to at home. Thanks to my veterinary nursing background, I am confident administering prescribed medications where required and providing extra support for dogs with additional care needs. For complete peace of mind, I provide daily updates, along with plenty of photos and videos, so you can enjoy seeing your dog happy, relaxed and enjoying their own holiday while you’re away. Before every booking, I offer a complimentary meet and greet. Following this we would complete an overnight trial at the cost of an overnight stay. This gives you the opportunity to visit our home, ask any questions, and allows us to make sure your dog feels comfortable before their stay. Whether your dog is joining me for one night, a weekend away or a longer holiday, you can relax knowing they will receive professional, loving care in a safe, licensed and fully insured family home. I look forward to welcoming your four-legged family member to my home! I occasionally ride/teach horses and have school runs in between looking after the doggies. So they must be comfortable with being left for short periods of time. Never longer than 3 hours at a time. I have a securely fenced garden with some grass and plenty of toys offering enrichment. Dogs are walked regularly and offered as much outdoor time as possible. As a licensed boarder my home and care is regularly assessed and I hold a 5* license.
About: I have always had animals since I was a child, I love them all as if they were my own. I'm not a dresser but I know the basics. I am totally available to give all the love and affection to your “puppy children”. departure times can be combined! I will love being able to be part of the routine I will take care of him as if he were mine, we will play and relax *_* Separate your favorite toys, food and (bed if necessary).

About: Me and my partner regularly care for dogs for friends, family and family friends. Experienced with different breeds, routines, feeding, walks and giving them a safe, loving home. I work Monday to Friday, 7:30am–4:30pm, so I only accept bookings that suit my availability. This allows me to give every dog the time, care, and attention they deserve. We have a secure, fenced, good-sized garden for safe outdoor time and play. Your dog will be supervised, well cared for, and treated like part of our family.
About: I grew up with dogs and absolutely love having them around. I work from home, so I have plenty of time for lunchtime walks, playtime, and giving your dog lots of attention. I’m also very happy to have a snuggle on the sofa in the evenings. I work from home three days a week, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to give dogs real attention throughout the day. I also have the option to bring a dog into the office, so they’re never left alone for long periods. I love being active and would always make sure they get a morning and lunchtime walk so lots of company. I have a fenced garden in a three bed new build property and I live close to fields and nice walks, which I love to go on.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 12.I had a lots of type dog before and I loved to care about them. We always walked and played a lot. My job is flexible because I make my own rota. So I have plenty of time with the dogs and I don't left them alone in home. I have a park next to my house but always take my dog 2-3times/week to the big park where is other dogs as well and they can play as much as they want!😊
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life, but my passion for training really took off when i rescued a Spaniel x Beagle. He started out reactive to other dogs, with no recall and a habit of disappearing after anything that moved. Through daily training and hundreds of hours of learning, I transformed him into a confident, social dog with reliable off-lead freedom, excellent recall, and advanced obedience. That journey gave me a genuine passion for helping dogs learn and building their confidence. I now volunteer every week at a dog rescue, working with dogs of all breeds, ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable handling everything from nervous and reactive dogs to strong pullers and high-energy working breeds. Whether your dog simply needs a fun walk, plenty of attention and a home away from home, or would benefit from some extra work on recall, lead manners, general obedience or behavioural issues during their stay, I’d love to help. I genuinely enjoy training and am happy to take on dogs that need a little extra guidance. We also have private, secure land, giving dogs a safe space to exercise and train away from distractions when needed. I work full time from home so always able to keep an eye on dogs. Normally the day starts with a walk round the fields/local paths. Then we settle down, few 5 min spurs of obedience training through the day and then a big afternoon walk. Evening will maybe have a small additional walk or some training. We have a fenced garden, fenced private fields - all possible escape routes have been found and fixed thanks to our escape artist. My dog is always around - he’s a beagle x spaniel full of energy.

Loved how quick it was Hollie’s response even when it was a last minute request. She is really lovely and Archie came back home happy and tired! Meaning that he definitely had a great time, besides that he just met his new bestie! I will defnetely be contacting her again 😊

Constancia accommodated our last minute booking to look after Nellie. She was very welcoming when we arrived ensuring we saw the garden. She was keen to know Nellie’s routines and preferences so she could follow them. We got photo updates throughout the day. Nellie was very happy and settled when we collected her. We would definitely use her again.

Our 3.5 month pup had a lovely day with Jessica and her husband. We plan for him to stay while we go on holiday and wanted to give him chance to get to know them first. We were anxious as we had not left him with anyone else, but we didn’t need to worry as he settled straight away- and had lots of fun. Jessica is quick to respond to messages and sent photos of his day. Thank you

Lisa is brilliant! My Cavalier King Charles ‘Rupert’ has now been twice for daycare and he was very excited to see Lisa on the second visit! She walks him and plays with him outside in a secure area and so I can relax when he’s there knowing he is safe and well cared for. Her house is lovely, clean and welcoming, Rupert loves going for the day and will no doubt go for many more! Thanks Lisa 😊

Hannah looks after Alfie one day a week and I couldn't be happier with the service she provides. Her training and experience gives me piece of mind that she cope with his allergies and understand his separation anxiety. The photos she shares proves to me he his having the best time ever running around with new friends but is also comfortable enough to curl up on the sofa for a nap.

There are 966 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Harrogate. About 86% of Harrogate sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 Harrogate 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 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.
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 .
