About: I love dogs and have 4 years of experience caring for my Cockapoo, as well as 1 year of experience looking after a friend’s puppy. I also work in a charity that helps dogs, which has given me even more experience and a strong understanding of how important it is to provide dogs with kindness, patience and care. I enjoy spending time with dogs and keeping them happy and active. I can play fetch with them indoors or in the garden, take them for walks on a lead, brush their coats, and clean their paws after walks or when they’ve been outside. I’m also happy to clean them up after they’ve done their business. I’m a caring, responsible and patient person, and I will treat every dog as if they were my own. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved and well looked after. 🐶❤️ I’m currently working from home and I will walk my dog at 10 am on weekdays. If I have work to do offline such as at schools or store, I will walk him at 7 am. I have plenty of time for afternoon or evening when I finish work or have a break from work to look after pets who need toilet breaks or feeding. I have a fenced garden in a semi-detached house and a park within 5 minutes walk from the house. I love walking dogs in the park and playing balls with them for a bit. I also like playing hide and seek games with them in the house and let them use their energy for a bit after their treats and naps.
“My dog is very anxious and nervous so obviously was a bit worried about his first stay with Kay, soon as I met Kay and her husband I knew he would be fine, they made him feel at home and could tell they just wanted my dog to be happy & safe, he came home worn out as had plenty of walks & play time, would definitely recommend and will be using them again”

“James and his family were amazing. Bruce settled really well. I knew from the first meet that they were perfect for Bruce and am so glad I have found them! Will be using them regularly”

“Catherine was great. Replied to messages promptly and took great care of my wee Cockapoo. I messaged her before we headed over to collect and they were waiting just outside her flat. I would definitely use here again. Thanks Catherine!”

About: 🐾 A Home Away From Home for Your Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of every age, breed, and personality. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, so I understand that every pup is unique and deserves plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. From energetic puppies learning the ropes to gentle senior dogs needing a little extra care, I'm experienced with it all. I've helped with puppy training, supported older dogs with arthritis and mobility issues, and cared for every stage in between. Whether your dog is full of zoomies or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy during their stay. I've looked after dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Jack Russells right up to gentle giants like Dogues de Bordeaux—so no matter how big or small your four-legged family member is, they'll be welcomed with open arms. Your dog will have plenty of room to make themselves at home in our spacious house, with lots of cosy spots to relax, nap, or simply potter about. Outside, we have a large, secure garden where they can stretch their legs, play, sniff, and soak up the fresh air. We're also surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it the perfect place for exciting adventures, leisurely strolls, and plenty of sniff-filled walkies. Sharing our home is our lovely spayed female Golden Retriever, who absolutely adores other dogs. She's friendly, gentle, and always happy to make new friends—whether that's a game of chase in the garden or simply lounging together after a long walk. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and I'll care for them as if they were one of my own. Whether they're staying for a day, a weekend, or a longer holiday, you can relax knowing they'll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and updates so you can see what they've been getting up to. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I work from home full-time, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. My schedule already revolves around my own Golden Retriever, meaning your dog will always have company, attention, and plenty of opportunities for exercise and relaxation throughout the day. Our mornings start with breakfast (our Goldie would never let us forget it!), followed by a long walk through the beautiful nearby woods and countryside. If anyone comes home a little muddy after their adventure, they're more than welcome to enjoy a quick rinse before settling in. While I work, the dogs can relax wherever they're most comfortable, with free access to our spacious, secure garden whenever they fancy a sniff or a potter outside. I take regular breaks throughout the day for playtime, cuddles, toilet breaks, and, of course, the occasional well-earned treat! In the afternoon, we head out for another walk before winding down for the evening. Whether your dog loves exploring, playing, snoozing, or simply being close to people, they'll enjoy a relaxed, home-from-home environment with lots of love, attention, and companionship. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. We have a large, fully secure garden with high fencing, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, explore, or simply relax in the fresh air whenever they like. I also make sure that any plants within their reach are dog-safe, so you can have complete peace of mind. Sharing our home is our friendly, spayed Golden Retriever, who absolutely loves the company of other dogs. Whether it's a game of zoomies around the garden, exploring together on walks, or curling up for a well-earned nap, she's always delighted to welcome a new furry friend. Inside, our home is spacious, calm, and relaxed, and dogs can settle in wherever they feel most comfortable. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or prefers a peaceful snooze after a walk, they'll have plenty of space to feel safe, loved, and right at home.

About: Hi! 👋 I love dogs, having trained 3 of my own and helped family and friends train theirs. I know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone else, hoping they will have a good time. 🥺 I got my start volunteering with a family friend who rehabilitated dogs. I specialise in looking after small to medium dogs. I enjoy stick/ball throwing. And have previous experience watching other people’s dogs. I have a medium-sized fenced garden with a big lawn perfect for zoomies! 🐕💨🍃 I would love to provide a comforting, safe and gentle presence for your fluffy baby when you are away, looking after them like they’re one of my own ❤️ 🐾🐕🤗 I have experience with flat faced breeds (such as pugs & frenchies). As well as experience with senior dogs, and dogs that need medications and special diets. I have experience administering vet prescribed medications as pills, powders and using oral syringes. I have house-trained multiple dogs, and raised puppies so am happy to work with dogs that need puppy pads. 💦 I have supported dogs with cancer who need gentle & responsive care. ❤️🩹 Please let me know your doggy’s support needs including any behavioural quirks as I do have 2 very friendly and chill doggies who will be in the house. I work from home and can give your doggy lots of snuggles and attention. We also have plenty of toys for them to play with. My schedule is fairly flexible provided I get advanced notice. I have a medium sized fenced garden with a lawn for zoomies! I have 2 friendly lil puggies who would love to play with your doggy! I also have a crate for small to medium sized dogs and plenty of dog beds if your dog wants alone time.
About: I grew up with pets and own 2 golden retrievers who I adore! they’re the most friendly dogs I have ever met in my life, I wfh and have the flexibility for play time, toilet breaks, multiple walks a day and have lots of love to give. I’m an easy going person and very honest. I understand the struggles of not being able to go on holiday or not trust someone to have my pet, or kennels not accepting not neutered/unspayed/in season pets as as such I am here to make a difference, regardless. Happy to have you check my home and garden, and meet in public too ☺️ I work from home and have a dog, I’m very happy to accommodate other pets if that helps their owners. I will accept over night care too if needed Pets have no restrictions in my home, should they wish to sleep on any bed or sofa they will be able to ☺️They will have access to a fenced and secure garden and lots of love and cuddles
“Vicky helped us out really short notice Very professional polite and provided us with lots of gorgeous pictures through out the day wouldn’t hesitate to book Vicky again in the future”


About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life and have grown up in a dog loving home. My family has a French Bulldog who is now 12 years old, and I have been closely involved in his care throughout his life from a little pup all the way to a senior dog. I regularly look after him when my family are away, ensuring his daily routines are maintained and that he feels comfortable and well cared for. In addition to this, I frequently care for other family pets while they are on holiday, providing walking, feeding, and general day to day care. I am attentive, patient, and reliable, and I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and cared for as they would be at home. I am available for dog boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking and drop in visits on weekends. I can organise longer stays/visits upon request. For clients that choose dog boarding/dog sitting, I live with my partner who will also be in the house as he works at home full time. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment both in my home and in a pet owner’s home. In my home, dogs have plenty of room to relax and I also have a large, fully fenced garden where they can safely play and get fresh air. Outside of my home, I have access to lots of green spaces, which allows me to take dogs on regular walks in quiet surroundings. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain their normal routines, including feeding, walking and any specific care needs.

About: My experience with dogs started when I was born. The family dog was one year old so I have grown up with dogs which installed a deep and meaningful bond with dogs. I have fostered many rescues from the UK and Romania, as well as adopting. I love all dogs and care for them as if they were my own and have owned and have experience with puppies, reactive dogs and seniors so have experience with a wide variety of different breeds and ages. I currently work part time from home, so will have plenty of time to play with your dogs, walk them and look after any of their needs from brushing to tear stains and feeding and/or medication. I will still be able to take your dog all day as I can work around their needs. I have a 6ft fenced garden and 3 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company if they want. Dogs have free roam of the house and garden and are welcome to sit on the sofas or beds, but am also able to provide crates/beds if needed for your pet. I am a short drive away from Marske beach and a wonderful wood so your dog will get a nice variety of walks twice a day depending on time spent at my home. Water bowls are placed in every room so they will have plenty of access to water at all times and will never be left more than 3 hours at a time if boarding overnight. At weekends our dogs are our passion so all days out are worked around dog friendly walks and cafes/pubs if needed. Your baby will also be able to enjoy weekend adventures if you would be happy for us to take them along.
About: I’ve had pets since I was small. I take care of my friends dogs most weeks with great success. Animals are my passion and I will treat them with the respect they deserve. I work about 8 days a month so I am very flexible. I will take bookings at short notice and will always display my availability I will care for your pet as if it’s my own, Your baby will be in safe hands with me and I will update you through out my time with your pet with photos and messages
“Woody seemed very happy with Bethany - immediately running into her house without looking back XD. Was nice getting photos and updates throughout the day. Bethany was super flexible which made everything much easier for us. Thanks again!”


About: Hi there, I’m a 24 year-old mum to one. I have recently started my own dog walking business. I have grown up with dogs all of my life currently in the property that I’m in I cannot have a dog of my own so I found myself coming up with the idea of being able to spend time with dogs. I own a two-year-old female Cat called Luffy! My little boy is almost 7 and extremely respectful of all animals! I’m hoping to build a bond with pet owners who can always trust me with their four like family members🩷 I currently don’t work as I’ve opened my dog walking business so I’m hoping to work towards that I am free the whole day from 8 am up until 4:30 pm due to the School run. I’m also free all weekends from early morning till 6 pm as long as the animal is okay with children. I have a fenced off garden that is full of grass, unfortunately I do not offer House sitting in other peoples homes due to the fact that I do have a child so I will need to be in my own home but I can rest assured that all animals will be safe here. I’m happy to provide constant updates whenever requested any animal is welcome on my furniture. again, I do have a cat at home so hopefully they will get along. I will always stick to your feeding schedule and never go off it. I am very respectful for how people train and take care of their pets and I will treat them as if they are my own. Personally I do not have a crate at home obviously due to not having a dog but I wouldn’t really want to get one. I am happy for the pet to roam free in my home as long as the owner is okay with that.
“So glad I found Andrew. Was the first time using Rover and first time leaving Jasper with anyone other than family so I was more than a little nervous. Andrew sent me updates and photos to put my mind at rest. Jasper settled in straight away and will definitely be booking again.”

“sian was lovely, welcoming and very communicative, she clearly cares deeply about dogs, but also customer experience and I'm very happy to have had my special little guy in her capable and experienced hands. She sent pictures across and cared for him like her own, and even had 2 bowls of water down when I came to pick him up, despite me only providing one water bowl. Thank you for a seamless and caring approach.”

Kay was so helpful when I was using the app to book. Her communication was excellent throughout. Kay really wanted Roxy to feel at home, there was a roaring fire on so Roxy made herself at home in front of the fire in no time. My dog is just getting over an injury and Kay made she understood limitations and made me feel that I could trust her. Lovely photos of the day too 🙌

Harvey spent the day here and was very chilled when we collected him. He was very well looked after and had obviously enjoyed the day. Kay is lovely and we will definitely be booking again and it was so nice to not worry about him and know he was being so well cared for.

My dog is very anxious and nervous so obviously was a bit worried about his first stay with Kay, soon as I met Kay and her husband I knew he would be fine, they made him feel at home and could tell they just wanted my dog to be happy & safe, he came home worn out as had plenty of walks & play time, would definitely recommend and will be using them again

Claire and her partner were amazing with Rory, it was his first time staying with a dog minder and he settled in straight away, which is credit to Claire. I received updates on how he was getting on along with a photo. I will 100% be using Claire again. Thank you again 😁

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hartlepool on Rover is £24.15 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 475 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Hartlepool. About 87% of Hartlepool 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 Hartlepool 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 North 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 .
