About: I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where your dog will be genuinely cared for, comforted, and treated like family. I have a natural love for animals and understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can fully trust. Personally, I have extensive experience as a dog owner. I previously had a German Shepherd & Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who lived to 17, and I currently have a five-year-old toy poodle. Professionally, I have worked at Urban Mutts Hotels, where I cared for a wide variety of dogs in both daycare and boarding settings. My experience goes beyond breeds and sizes — I am confident managing different temperaments, energy levels, dietary requirements, and allergies, always prioritising each dog’s comfort and wellbeing. I take the time to understand every dog’s routine, personality, and preferences — whether they need active play, calm companionship, or extra reassurance. My approach is calm, patient, and detail-oriented, ensuring your dog feels secure, happy, and completely at ease while in my care. For added peace of mind, I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout, so you always know your dog is safe, settled, and well looked after. I am currently self- employed and working from home, my diary can be flexible if needed. I am open to last minute bookings, if needed. I have a house with a long, gated garden that your dogs would love to run around in and do some training drills. For longer walks I have a park nearby.

Steven and his partner were great. They made me feel completely at ease from the very start. We sat and had a chat about Paxo and discussed his quirks. Paxo was relaxed from the moment of meeting them and was cuddling up to Steven in seconds. You can tell that Steven is very knowledgeable about looking after dogs and embraced all Paxo's funny behaviours (like being scared of people roller-skating). He gave Paxo a lot of exercise and Paxo fell asleep an hour earlier than normal which is a great sign! Would defo use Steven again.

About: If you’re looking for a reliable, caring dog walker who can provide regular weekday walks, I’d love to help. I’ve always loved dogs and enjoy nothing more than being outdoors with them. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves long walks or prefers a gentler pace with plenty of sniffing stops, I’ll make sure every walk is suited to their individual needs. I understand that many owners have busy work schedules, so being dependable, punctual and consistent is really important to me. You can count on me to arrive on time, follow your dog’s usual routine and treat them with the same care and affection that I give my own dog. I’m patient, trustworthy and organised, and I know every dog is different. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality, favourite walking routes and any specific requirements they may have. After each walk, I’ll send you an update and photos so you can see how much fun they’ve had. Building long-term relationships with both dogs and their owners is something I really value, and I’d love to become someone your dog looks forward to seeing each week. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend 😊 I currently work part time mostly from home so I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. I walk dogs daily and I have a car for further afield walks and to drop and collect your dog if required. We are a family of 5 with 3 older children that love bring around dogs. I have a fenced in garden and I have a dog myself. I have plenty of space to look after 3 dogs ( including my own) and it’s important to me as it is for you that the dogs are all happy being around each other.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLUTELY AMAZING — 10/10, WOULD RECOMMEND TO EVERY DOG OWNER! I cannot recommend Sahiba enough — she is simply the BEST dog sitter we’ve ever had! From the very first moment we met, I knew our precious dog was going to be in the safest, kindest, most loving hands possible. Sahiba didn’t just “look after” our dog — she genuinely cared for them like they were her own family. She sent us the most wonderful photos and little updates every single hour — seeing our pup happy, exploring, playing, and curled up cosy made being away from home so easy and stress-free. We didn’t have a single worry the whole time! You can truly tell Sahiba has such a special, natural bond with animals — our milo was so excited to see her every morning, and was completely worn out in the happiest way from all the fun and attention. On top of that, she’s reliable, thoughtful, so respectful of our home, and went above and beyond in every little way — even keeping to our dog’s exact routine and dietary needs perfectly. When we came home, our dog was happy, relaxed, and healthy — and honestly, looked like they’d been on their own lovely holiday! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and genuinely wonderful to look after your fur baby — Sahiba is the one. We are already counting down to our next trip so we can book her again. Thank you, Sahiba — you’re an absolute gem! 💖🐶

I am very comfortable handling dogs, understanding their needs, and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and at home while their owners are away. I can dedicate plenty of time to your pet. I will ensure they follow their regular routine for feeding, exercise, and playtime, making sure they never feel lonely. I have a fenced garden at my home your dog will stay safely with me. I will take them out for regular walks and toilet breaks around Hounslow West every 2 to 4 hours. My home is clean, quiet, and pet-friendly.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I had a number of family dogs growing up, before I adopted my own after graduating - first a Husky and then a German Sheppard. All were rescues, adopted when less than 1 years old and, at times, a mix of breeds, and so I have first hand experience being with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I am a remote worker and so I have a flexible schedule during the working week. On the weekends, my available depends on my volunteer work. I live in a large two bedroom apartment which provides amble room for dogs to play or find a quiet spot to snooze. There are also plenty of parks near me which allows lots of sniffing and running potential. I try to maintain a consistent feeding and walking schedule for my pup but happy to cater to your dogs needs.

Jessica was so great with Ruby & Leo. She took the time to get to know their routine and schedule and was incredibly gentle and caring with them. She was especially good with Leo, who can be a little sensitive and barky, and really took the time to make him feel comfortable. They came home so tired and content, which is always a great sign! We’d definitely reach out to Jessica again to look after the pups.

About: I’ve always believed that dogs aren’t just pets — they’re family. When you leave your dog with me, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being cared for with patience, kindness and lots of love. I take the time to get to know each dog’s little personality — whether they’re playful and full of energy, happiest curled up beside you, a little shy at first, or simply love being spoiled with attention. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, from meals and walks to regular toilet breaks, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I believe keeping their routine familiar helps them settle and feel at ease. I’m also happy to give extra patience and reassurance to puppies, older dogs or dogs who need a little more time to feel comfortable in a new environment. I’ll never rush them — I let them settle in at their own pace. What I really want to offer is more than just dog sitting. I want your dog to feel like they’ve come to stay with someone who genuinely enjoys having them around. And while you're busy having your own little holiday, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you don’t miss them too much! I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day. I’m able to fit pet care naturally into my daily routine, with regular toilet breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles and plenty of interaction. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods, and I can give them the attention they need while still keeping to their normal routine. Because I’m home during the day, I can also be flexible around individual needs — whether your dog loves regular play and walks, prefers a quiet afternoon nap, or simply wants someone nearby. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where dogs can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time safely. The home is a calm, clean and welcoming environment where they can relax, feel secure and receive plenty of love and attention. Most importantly, I treat every dog with the same care and kindness I would give my own dog — with patience, affection and plenty of cuddles.

About: Hi All! Me & Maisie can guarantee that your pet will be surrounded by love, care, and attention at all times. Outside of Rover we run our own pet sitting business aswell. Animals quickly respond to a friendly and calm nature, so when we meet, they soon feel confident, comfortable, and safe. I am DBS checked for your peace of mind. I have a secure fenced garden, providing a safe space for pets to play and relax. I do not use cages unless specifically requested by the owner, as I believe animals should be treated as part of the family rather than confined unnecessarily. Your dogs will be cuddled, loved, played with, and cared for like one of my own — returning to you happy, relaxed, and content. I have extensive experience working with all breeds of dogs and cats, including previous professional experience as a dog and cat groomers before becoming a pet sitter. Regular furry updates, photos, and messages will be provided while your pet is in our care, so you can feel reassured and connected throughout their stay. Me & My Partner Maisie are full-time pet sitters, so we are available throughout the day and overnight to care for your pets. We also offer pet drop-in services if you need your pet fed, checked on, or given company in the comfort of your own home. Whether your pet stays with me or remains in their familiar environment, they will receive plenty of care, attention, and affection. We will also never have two dogs together at the same time unless they are suited We have a spacious garden that is fully secure and safely fenced, giving pets plenty of room to play, explore, and relax. Animal welfare is extremely important to us, and I believe every dog and cat deserves the highest standard of care, attention, and kindness. We also have two friendly Bull Terrier who enjoy the company of other dogs and are well socialised. We will adapt to each dog and cats individual needs

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Hounslow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Hounslow on Rover is £34.5 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 16,793 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Hounslow. About 87% of Hounslow 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 Hounslow 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 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.

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.

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.
