“Our two dogs Lucy & Chester had a fabulous first holiday with Alicia. They have never been left with anyone other than family before so I was little worried how they would settle. However Alicia was amazing with daily updates and our doggos were so very happy, settled in her home and enjoyed there stay. I would highly recommend Alicia for anyone looking for a home from home feel for there dogs. 5 star 🌟 . We will be back for future bookings!! Thank you Alicia x”
“Tzarina was amazing with Leroy, her communication was great, I felt really safe and reassured to leave Leroy with her for a Long weekend. Will definitely book her again!”
“Nunu was a dream for our two dogs. They loved her straight away. She was brilliant with us too - super communicative. It was great to leave our 1 year old and 10 year old with her because she was so competent, fun and friendly. Will definitely use again!”
“Joanna is an excellent dog sitter. We had regular updates whilst we were away which were lovely to receive and put us completely at ease. Bob our frenchie pug loved his time with her. She took him on lovely walks and we couldn’t have asked for any more. We’ll be booking again if we ever need dog cover”
“This our third time having Daniel watch over our border collie, Rorschach, and we couldn't be happier! Rorschach would run into his flat without looking back to say good bye to us when we drop him off. If that's not an indication of how well he gets treated, I don't know what is. We're always kept up-to-date with photos and videos, and Daniel has always been so accommodating with our pick up and drop off times. Highly recommend!”
“Bethany and James were brilliant. Communication was excellent and it was obvious how happy my doggy was when I picked him up. Very much recommended! Would definitely use Bethany again if I was in that area. Thank for looking after my doggy :-)”
“Mostly when leaving your dog with someone any owner is looking for reassurance that they will be well cared for. Robert gave us that confidence and reassurance from the moment we met him. Calm and caring towards our dog. Would happily recommend.”
“Excellent care for my Sheba Inu even although he was not as behaved as he should have been. Natalie is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as she is both skilled and knowledgeable about dogs and the care taken is exceptional.”
“Chelsey welcomed our doggie into her home in such a warm way that we knew instantly she would be really well looked after. We appreciated the updates during the evening and our doggie felt very much at home. Would definitely recommend! And thanks Chelsey!”
“Elsie has clearly had the best day possible today, and that's thanks to the affection Bethany shows her. Elsie is really settled and cared for and looks enormously delighted to have stayed over - in fact on arriving to pick her up Elsie is just the right level of furious to come home with me after, and that's Elsie's way of telling me what a great day she had. Looking forward to next time. 🐾”

“Our 7 month old puppy had the most amazing stay with Ross and his family. We were updated regularly about how she had settled and her days out with the family. They all showed so much love and care towards our pup and treated her like their own. She had the best stay with them and went on trips to the beach, woods and even had a little doggy paddling pool. Their family dog Belle bonded well with Skye and they happily played and cuddled. This family really enjoy the company of dogs and they’re the perfect sitters. Our mind was at ease throughout our whole holiday, knowing that Skye was happy and well looked after. Thank you all so much! Skye would love to come back again next time!”

FAQs for Boarding - Hastings
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hastings on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,041 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hastings. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 South 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.
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 .
