“Bree was in such lovely, safe hands and was really well looked after while we were away for a wedding. We had updates, she had her walks and plenty of attention, and we felt completely comfortable leaving her with them. Their only complaint was that they didn’t get to have her for long enough and would have happily kept her longer! 😂 We’d absolutely leave Bree with them again.”
“Were do i start"wow" what an exceptional Dog boarder jackie is"sent me photos everyday of my Dog coco" enjoying herself whilst at her house' coco was very content" pictures of her sleeping on the sofa and on Jackie's bed" really made coco feel at Home"”
“My Charlie stayed with Wendy for the first time for 2 nights. At the meet & greet, we felt immediately at ease with Wendy’s calm voice & demeanour, as my Charlie suffers with separation anxiety & is extremely timid. She showed an interest in Charlie & he instantly warmed to her, which filled me with confidence that Charlie would be just fine in her capable care. She was also thorough in her communication of Charlie’s care & I felt reassured by her attention to details. I received regular updates & photos from her whilst he was there. When we collected him, he appeared calm & happy. I believe that Wendy is a loving & caring sitter, who will go above & beyond for your pet.”
“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! ❤️”
“Joey was well cared for and came back happy and healthy. Communication was great throughout and will definitely book again in the near future. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for Sitters.”
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: 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.
“Fantastic host and stay for our Dasha ! Bethany was really lovely, amazing at keeping in touch and giving us news of Dasha. She is a gem and I would highly recommend ! Thank you so much again, it won’t be the last time for us !”
“Brilliant, cannot recommend Ella-Marie enough. Reliable, responsive, and accommodating. Our two dogs were extremely well cared for, they came back very happy and lovely they had a little holiday themselves whilst we were away. Excellent updates including pictures and a video. Pick up and drop off service was excellent also! Will definitely use again. Thank you so much Ella-Marie.”
“June was wonderful, Ventress had a great time. We recoeived video and picture updates which we greatly appreciated! June was very kind and her attention to care was spot on (Ventress is teething so June gave her ice to help sooth her gums). Would definitely recommend and will we definitely will be using June's services again”
“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”
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Jen! I’ve always been a genuine animal lover and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m naturally kind, patient and gentle, and I enjoy getting to their individual personalities. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved and happy while they’re in my care. I’m a responsible and trustworthy person and I understand how difficult it can be leaving your beloved pet with someone else. That’s why I’ll always take the time to understand their routine, personality, likes and dislikes, and make sure they receive the same love and attention I would want for my own. Whether your dog needs a walk, some company during the day, or a home while you're away, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles and care. TLC. Guaranteed 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, visits and caring for pets. I keep my bookings manageable so I can give each pet individual attention rather than rushing. I’m flexible and will always discuss your pet’s routine and needs with you before a booking. I take the safety and wellbeing of every pet very seriously. I follow their normal routines, keep them secure and pay close attention to their behaviour and individual needs. In your home, I’ll treat your property with respect and leave everything clean and tidy. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Chester has once again had a lovely time with Eva. As soon as he arrived he was so excited to see her again so I know he's going to settle straight in once more. Eva always keeps us informed on what is happening while we are away.”
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.
About: I have experience in dog boarding for my external family on a regular. My flexible working schedule would allow me to spend more time with dogs. I’m surrounded by woodland that is great for dog walking. I work 4 days a week . I work from home majority of the time. I have 2 children who love dogs, they are aged 7 and 8. 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.
“I have just collected Percy after a week with Georgia and family, and I dont think he wanted to come home. He was welcomed into their house like an old friend and we can tell he's had a great time. We were kept updated throughout his stay and we were also sent plenty of photos, which is always reassuring. We would recommend Georgia to anyone who is looking for sitting or boarding, and would not hesitate to book Percy in again.”
“I can't fault Adele. Very friendly, helpful and caring. She had my 2 dogs for a 4 day stay and they seem to have loved their time with Adele and her dogs. Definitely use her again and would totally recommend to others.”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and I was a little nervous, but Brianna was fantastic. She took great care of our dog Betsy, kept me updated with messages and photos, and made the whole experience stress-free. My dog was happy and well looked after. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again. Thank you!”

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Hartlepool
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.
sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
