“My two dogs had a lovely time boarding with Ricky and his two dogs. We had through introductions involving both an on lead park walk and an off lead wood walk so we were confident all the dogs would get along and they did! Highly recommend his services.”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life so am no stranger to man's best friend. I've looked after many family and friends pooches too so I have lots of experience caring, loving and entertaining dogs (I’m not shy of some rough playtime or a snuggle on the sofa!!) I am trustworthy, sensible and reliable - here for all of your needs - I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so I’d love to have your pooch join me and become part of my day. I also understand how difficult it is to leave them in someone else's hands, so be prepared for regular pupdates and photos! Don’t hesitate to message me, Della 😊 I work full time so weekdays I'm available for evening dog walks/ drop in visits (5pm onwards) At the weekends I am able to provide all day care or they can board from Friday evenings right the way through the weekend. We can arrange a meet beforehand so that your mutt and myself are well acquainted. If boarding - we have a safe enclosed courtyard garden, meaning toilet breaks are never limited.
“Bethany and James were perfect sitters for Alfie, they sent photos and updates daily to ensure we were kept well informed of his happiness. A week away from Alfie is a long time for us, but we can tell he loved it. We fully recommend Bethany and will be booking again soon.”
“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”
“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!”
“Daniel took great care of Duke while I was away!! He sent pictures a few times a day and also short videos on Duke’s walks...it gave me the peace of mind that Duke was safe and being cared for :) Also, Daniel’s flat is a quick walk from a tube stop so that made the drop-off journey much easier. Thank you!!!!”
“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.”
“Our Yorkshire terrier could not have been more looked after! I think he had a better time then we did on holiday and really got on with the sitters dog. Steve and his wife were so lovely and welcoming and kept us updated throughout the stay. We would have no hesitation rebooking !”
“Matt and Kaitlyn were brilliant with my dog Lola. They kept me updated throughout with lovely messages and photos, including some Idyllic shots of her watching the sunset, which was really reassuring. Lola looked completely relaxed and happy, and it was clear she was having a lovely time in their garden. They were communicative, thoughtful and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable. I’d happily book with them again and would definitely recommend them!”
“Bethany & Chad were outstanding with our two pets! Right from the moment we did our meet & greet, we knew they would take such good care of our dog & cat which they absolutely did. Beyond the exceptional care they took, it was evident they genuinely enjoyed their time with the pets & that made us so happy. From the photos & videos to the sweetest gesture of Christmas presents for both pets, we cannot say enough wonderful things about Bethany & Chad. Our sincerest & heartfelt thank you for taking such good care of them, we are beyond grateful.”
About: I’ve looked after multiple dogs and cats and absolutely love spending time with animals.

I have a secure garden, as well as access to a massive secure field, giving dogs plenty of space to run around, explore and burn off some energy. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing, running around or simply curling up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention. 🐶❤️ Your pet’s happiness, safety and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own!

I can provide morning and evening walks, as well as playtime, cuddles and lots of company throughout the day. I also have a large, secure field attached to my house, which means I can take dogs out on my lunch break for some extra exercise, running around and exploring.

I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and make sure they get all the exercise, attention and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities.

Natasha and her family are a really lovely family and Misty was extremely well cared for and was very happy around them when brought back to me , and made a big fuss of them when they was leaving after bringing her home to me , I am extremely grateful to Natasha and her family for caring for Misty during my hospital stay . I most certainly would have no worries about asking them to care for her again in the future 100%
Our dog Basil spent a few days with Robert and had a lovely time. Much better than putting him in kennels as he has a homely experience and plenty of exercise. Thank you Robert for providing such a good service, we will be contacting you again when we need a reliable sitter. X
Jiao and her family have been fantastic pet sitters. Their care, attention, and love of animals has meant that I was able to have peace of mind whilst away from my dog. If you need a caring and thoughtful family with their own dog to keep yours company, look no further.
Second time leaving our Bruno with Kathy and am delighted to confirm he was even happier to spend a couple of days with her this time around. Kathy is a lovely boarder with great communication and a soft gentle approach with our dog which he loves. Couldn't imagine leaving Bruno with anyone else. Highly recommended.
Daniel and Alida looked after Mole beautifully while we were away. We got messages, pictures and videos every day showing how much fun Mole was having. He really enjoyed having their French Bulldog George to play with too. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to have Mole again.
PJ and Erica were absolutely brilliant when looking after our dog and we felt so comfortable leaving him with them. They treated him like their own, letting him get comfortable wherever he needed to and even taking him for a swim in the sea! Wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. And thanking to Aslan too for such good doggy hosting!!
I had a wonderful experience leaving my dog Flo with Joanna for one week while I was abroad. Joanna was patient, caring, and sent regular photos and feedback every day. I felt totally at ease and will use Joanna's service regularly throughout the year. Highly recommended! What I Loved: Daily updates with cute photos; Kind and patient care for Flo; Great communication while I was away; and Total peace of mind on my trip Future Plans: Will book again very soon for daily care and overnight stays; and I Plan to use Joanna's service regularly all year
Nawal is a legend! My German Shepherd Zoe has serious nervous tendencies, but Nawal was incredibly empathetic and immediately tapped into her anxieties and fears. She truly understood Zoe's body language, putting the canine's needs above everything else. Nawal provided the perfect comfort with a blanketed sofa and a quiet, sleepy garden. Zoe came home a completely changed, positive dog from the moment of pickup. Honestly, I hesitate to give Nawal too much praise because I fear she’ll be fully booked next time I need her! From the bottom of my heart, thank you xxx
Matt and Kaitlyn were brilliant with my dog Lola. They kept me updated throughout with lovely messages and photos, including some Idyllic shots of her watching the sunset, which was really reassuring. Lola looked completely relaxed and happy, and it was clear she was having a lovely time in their garden. They were communicative, thoughtful and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable. I’d happily book with them again and would definitely recommend them!
Sarah -Kate is a very sweet girl. Our dog Baxter loves being with her. She is very.adaptable and was so helpful when we had health problems at Christmas. Sarah Kate is now going to walk Baxter three times a week. We are very happy with the introduction to Sarah-Kate.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Hastings
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hastings on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,081 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 .
