We couldn't have asked for a better experience for Rocky! Cathy and her family provided exceptional care during our week away. We were so impressed by the daily updates, complete with photos and videos of Rocky enjoying walks and playtime. It was clear that he was happy and well-loved in their home. The open communication and peace of mind they offered were invaluable, especially being so far away. We wholeheartedly recommend Cathy to anyone seeking a loving and reliable pet sitter.

This was my first time leaving my baby fur with someone else, so i was really nervous, but honestly I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mo and his wife took such good care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time, which really put my mind at ease. My baby came back calm and happy and clearly she was well looked after. I can tell that they genuinely care about dogs and treat them like their own. I'd definitely trust them àgain and highly recommend Mo and his wfie.

I felt really comfortable leaving Lottie as I could see Yasemin was a kind animal person. She sent me updates and reassured me as Lottie is scared of the fireworks. I would be happy to use Yasemin again and recommend her.

This was our first experience using Rover and we couldnt be more pleased. Kristina and family looked after our 12 year old Cocker like a member of the family. So much so I was worried if he would in fact want to come home with us! Daily updates and photos were received to keep us reassured. Kristina also didn't hesitate to help us when our flight was delayed with a last minute extra night of boarding. A fabulous Rover experience, thank you Kristina and family!

About: I'm passionate about dogs of all kinds and have been involved with dogs (& cats) one way or another my whole life. I grew up with dogs and learned first-hand the real-life care they need and deserve. Recently I've been involved in rescuing, fostering and dog-sitting in my home for my local community and have enjoyed it so much I decided creating a profile on Rover would be an excellent idea. But even in my 20's I used to dog-sit in clients' homes regularly, sometimes for up to a month at a time. I'm also a volunteer for the Advanced Dog Ownership Initiative, a new scheme developed by my dog professional colleagues, to help encourage and support responsible dog ownership, which has helped me improve my own understanding dog interaction and ownership. I've also previously worked as a volunteer for a London-based animal rescue which has contributed to my passion for animal welfare. I'm able to adapt to each dogs personality, size and breed, having looked after everything from big unneutered, untrained Huskies & Bouviers, all the way down to active Jack Russels and Scottish Terriers. I take into account each dogs sensitivities, for example, some dogs do not like contact with other dogs while out on a walk, and some need a good 2 hours out in the park, whereas some only need 2 shorter walks a day. Some dogs need stimulation during the day and others just need a good chunk of downtime to decompress. Each dog is different and I accommodate their needs accordingly. The only reason my partner and I do not currently have a dog is that we would prefer to improve our finances before making the commitment to bringing home a dog. My experience in fostering and owning dogs in the past has helped me understand fully what an important decision it is. So helping others care for their beloved hounds is the next best thing! I am a freelance creative who largely works from home, and only rarely has to work on-site. If that is unavoidable, my partner who is also experienced with dogs will be able to be home. However, if I know I'll be caring for a dog at the time I'll prefer to be home for the entire period, and I will try to arrange it that way. In the mornings, I think it's important to immediately let the dog out into the garden. I also think a walk first thing in the morning is ideal for most breeds as the nights can feel long for dogs. I'd follow their usual feeding routine but if they are fed in the morning I'd do that before the walk as usually they like to do their business after a meal! I can walk a dog up to 1,5 hours to 2 hours at a time if they require it. During the day I keep an eye on them and provide a space they can have to themselves to decompress. If they need a bit of stimulation, I can engage in a few games with them in the garden. My partner and I are "home bodies" so I'm usually home for the whole day except for a short outing to the local shop, and in most cases my partner will also be at home working. A late afternoon/early evening walk is also possible if they need it, sometimes this can be a short walk around a couple of blocks in the neighbourhood or further afield depending on the dog. Evenings are usually very quiet and relaxing but the dog is let out into the garden multiple times before securing the house and heading to bed. The dog is welcome to sleep in our bedroom on their bed if that is needed or in our living room. And finally, if the dog enjoys affection and human interaction then I have cuddles available by the truckload! I think it's important to follow a routine that feels healthy, comfortable and safe for the dog. Understanding their needs for diet, sleep, interaction and walking is important. In hot weather I would be sure to walk a dog outside of the hottest times of the day especially for dogs with thick coats. I carry a water bottle with me on walks at all times to ensure the dog is properly hyrdated. Before walking your dog for the first time, I'll check with you if they are comfortable around other dogs and people, or if they prefer not to interact at all. Some dogs are nervous of other dogs, and senior dogs often prefer to be left alone, especially by younger dogs. I'm careful to avoid any interaction that may not be comfortable. Giving a dog plenty of time to stretch their legs and also take in the scents and sounds is important and often the best way to keep them relaxed and content for the whole day ahead. Our home has a fenced garden, no other pets and no children so it provides a relaxing environment for any dog. I'd dedicate a space to put their bed which can be theirs for the duration to sleep and decompress.

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, personalities and ages. I owned and cared for my French Bulldog for the past 10 years, and before him I had a Golden Retriever. I also helped raise and care for a Chocolate Labrador from puppyhood and still regularly take him on walks today. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my dream was to become a vet, and although I chose a different path, my love for animals has never changed. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, getting to know their personalities, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. Your dog will enjoy a secure fenced garden, plenty of playtime, walks, attention and, of course, lots of cuddles. I’m available throughout the day, which means your pet will receive lots of companionship and won’t be left alone for long periods. I have a warm, family-oriented home with my toddler son, who absolutely loves animals and has grown up around dogs. Because of this, my home is best suited to dogs that are friendly and comfortable around young children. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I’ll also be happy to send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy and receiving plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I am available throughout the day, every day. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks and regular toilet breaks. I enjoy spending time outdoors and being active, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. At home, dogs will have access to a secure fenced garden and a comfortable family environment where they can relax, play and receive lots of affection. Because I am home most of the time, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive the care, supervision and cuddles they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. In my home, dogs will be welcomed into a loving family environment with plenty of attention, supervision and affection. I have a fully fenced and secure garden where dogs can safely play and explore, and I always ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas and regular toilet breaks. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, preferences and any special requirements so they can feel as settled and relaxed as possible. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime or simply curling up for cuddles, I will make sure they receive the care and attention they need. As an experienced dog owner, I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else. I will treat your dog as if they were my own and am happy to provide regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. For dog walking, I prioritise safety at all times, using secure leads and choosing suitable walking routes based on your dog’s age, energy level and needs.

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. From puppies to older aged dogs, specially trained gun dogs, from Labradors, Highland terriers to Jack Russell. Right now, I am fully focused on dog walking as a full time career, and will devote all my time to this for the foreseeable future. Well, if it is a dog, it will be 2 to 3 meals a day, and at least 3 walks, depending on the age and the fitness of the dog.

Raul and his partner made Chester feel so welcome when they looked after him for the duration of our 1 week trip away. They kept us up to date with messages, pictures and videos throughout his stay with them - in every one of the updates Chester looked delighted! As Raul only accepts one dog at a time he is able to give them a lot of attention. Possibly more attention than we give him ordinarily! I think he might even have been in two minds as to whether he really wanted to come back with us when we went to collect! I thoroughly recommend Raul.

I would highly recommend Nicola. Nicola is both professional and friendly and I believe she could put anyone at ease. Nicola was fantastic at looking after both of my Cavaliers…accommodating one’s playfulness and hyperactivity at the sight of the lead, and my other dog’s calmer personality. I think they both had the best holiday with Nicola and her family and will miss them all. Nicola’s communication was amazing. I felt totally reassured.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Hounslow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hounslow on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 15,947 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hounslow. 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 Greater London 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 .
