“Minnie had a wonderful time with Kay. We felt at ease instantly, as Kay was so thorough when asking about Minnie’s needs and showed her lots of love from the get go. She has an amazing garden which Minnie wasted no time in enjoying! Kay sent lots of updates with photos and videos to put our mind at ease too which was fab. We would recommend to anyone who would like a kind, loving home away from home for their pup, we will certainly be using Kay again.”

“Max seemed completely settled with Wendy - he didn't want to come home! We were sent regular updates & photos, which was really reassuring for two worried parents 😜. Wendy is very organised & communication has been excellent. Max is already booked in for his next visit. ☺️”
“I can't thank Emma and Pete enough for looking after our dog the first time ever we have left him so long. The process of meeting and greet was great working around me anytime. Sirius has to have a shout out he was a great companion for tino and sure a bubble of joy matching tinos energy perfectly. Thank you for giving him the home away from home feeling and the notes n pics each day really put me at ease!! Xxx”
“James was fantastic with Buddy and made him welcome in his home and like one of the family. Communication throughout was excellent and we felt reassured Buddy was in good hands. Definitely would recommend”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! ❤️ Teddy was so well looked after and clearly felt completely at home. I received regular photos and updates throughout the week, which was so reassuring that I genuinely didn't worry about him at all. They were incredibly kind, caring and attentive, and I could see how happy and relaxed Teddy was with them. I think he had such a lovely holiday of his own that he wasn't particularly keen to come home! 😂 I couldn't have asked for better people to look after him and would happily leave Teddy with them again. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“We had our little Buddy stay with Adele and her family while we were away on holiday. Although buddy was extremely anxious as it was his first time, Adele persevered with him, allowed him his space but also did try show as much love and calmness she could even though buddy was nervous. Thankyou again Adele and I would encourage anyone to book with Adele x”
“Georgia looked after our cockapoo puppy, Milo, for two days and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! It was the first time we'd ever left him, and she couldn't have made us feel more at ease. She kept us updated throughout with pictures, which was so reassuring, and it was clear Milo had the best time with Otis and Barney – it was like a little holiday for him! Georgia is so kind and caring, and we'll definitely be booking with her again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her!”
About: I've been around dogs for over 30 years and love them. A wonderful friend suggested dog sitting and i think it's a fab idea. I know dogs are not humans and need gentle and loving car . . . Actually a bit like humans! But without the explaining, i guess I work, but generally between 09:00 - 14:30 max. With 30 minutes travel time. The work day would start and end with a walk. Food afterwards. I feel it better to eat after exercise. I like to share, sofas, beds and little treats from my meals _ if ok I have a fully fenced rear garden, with lawn & hedge. Open lawned front garden. North facing, rear kitchen diner with patio doors _ so nice and cool and quiet (but with plenty of birds and an occasional cat to add interest). Doggie height front room window to say 'hello' as the neighbourhood passes by. Wooden floors and sofas downstairs and a my bed to sleep on upstairs _ unless suggested otherwise. Dog walking field a few minutes one way and duck pond ten minutes the other. Wonderful beaches at seaton canoe 20 mins away.
“Dodger had a lovely stay with Jackie! Jackie was caring, very attentive and her own dog Oreo was the perfect host. Lovely lady! Dodger was a very happy pooch so would definitely book again!”
About: We’ve always had dogs and they’ve been a huge part of our lives. Having recently lost our beloved dogs, we’re not quite ready to have one of our own again, but we really miss the companionship, fun and love they bring. We’re looking forward to welcoming dogs into our home and giving them plenty of love, attention and fuss while their owners are away. We both work, but would love the company of a four-legged friend when we’re not at work, whether that’s enjoying a relaxing evening at home, heading out for a walk or simply having a dog by our side. We live in a lovely area with large, open fields right on our doorstep, just beyond the back garden, making it a great place for dogs to enjoy walks and explore. Our home is smoke-free, and having had dogs for many years, we understand how important it is to provide a safe, caring and comfortable environment where your dog feels at home. We know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and we’ll treat every dog as if they were our own. We can’t wait to meet some new furry friends! 🐶❤ I work part-time and my husband works full-time, so we have plenty of time outside of work to give your dog the love, attention and companionship they need. We would always plan our days around your dog’s needs and make sure they aren’t left alone in the house for any extended periods while in our care. We live with large, open fields right on our doorstep, making it easy to enjoy regular walks and outdoor time. Having always had dogs, we understand the importance of a consistent routine, plenty of affection and making sure every dog feels safe, happy and at home. We’d love to welcome dogs into our home and enjoy their company when we’re not working. 🐾 We aim to make every dog feel comfortable, safe and at home, whether they’re staying with us or we’re caring for them in their own home. Having always had dogs, we understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and we take the time to get to know them. In our home, we provide plenty of love, attention and companionship, along with regular walks and playtime. We have large, open fields right outside our back garden, giving us a great space to enjoy outdoor time. We’ll follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and sleeping routines as closely as possible to help them settle in. We also understand how important it is to keep owners updated, so we’re happy to share photos and messages to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Our home is smoke-free, and we’ll always prioritise your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing. 🐾

About: Owned dogs from chihuahua, spaniels to a fox‑red lab, my fav, still miss him, not ready to replace. Any dog here gets proper care, company, and calm attention. I’m home all day, so they’re never left alone, always walked, and always looked after. I regularly walk and care for friends’ dogs too, so I’m used to different breeds and personalities. Hoping to build a few regulars and enjoy seeing familiar faces again. Reach out and contact me. I work from home full‑time, with my office in a bright sunroom that opens directly into a secure garden. Dogs can relax on the couch or in their own bed beside my desk — I adjust to each owner’s preferences. The patio door stays open into the fenced garden, giving them safe freedom and fresh air. They get constant attention, company, and reassurance throughout the day, never left alone. For new dogs, I stick to leaded walks in familiar, safe locations until we build a regular routine. Play is based on each dog’s age and ability — fetch for the energetic ones, or gentler games like hide‑and‑seek with treats for older joints. With solid fencing, gates, and a secure layout, your dog stays protected, calm, and cared for every moment they’re with me.

I have a fenced back garden. My house has 4 bedrooms with a large kitchen and a large living room so dogs have plenty of space.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Hartlepool
Amazing service. My sighthounds were overly excited at first but sharp settled. They loved it. If they could speak I'm sure they would say it was a pawsitively experience. Great communication and very friendly. Dogs loved the walks and attention they received. Would highly recommend. Thank you.
So before we met kay we were really unsure about leaving our boy reggie for a week while we went on a family holiday. Myself and my mrs and reggie went to meet kay and her partner at her home and straight from the start she put us at ease.. our reggie loved being around kay instantly and that was lovely to see. While on holiday kay has sent us daily updates and that was lovely as we could see he was very loved and cared for. I would recommend kay to anyone and we will definitely be using her again to care for our reggie. What a lovely family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hartlepool on Rover is £32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £28 and £44 per night.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 510 sitters in Hartlepool, 72% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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.
