“Amazing overnight stay for my boy Jet with Leanne and Abbie. Right from the off-set, Leanne and Abbie really took the time to understand the needs of my Frenchie Jet, and made his stay comfortable, enjoyable and provided me with the confidence I was looking for in leaving him. Would definitely book again (I have already), and would highly recommend Leanne and Abbie. Thank you from me and Jet”
“Excellent communicator. My pup on her return seemed em very happy and chilled out. She was clearly well looked after and we received regular updates. Would deffo recommend”
“Sarah is the best! Our Ernie is always taken on the loveliest walks and has the best time. We love the photo updates and are always fully confident he is in safe hands. Thank you Sarah”
“I can’t recommend Talabi more highly, Monty had such a lovely time during his stay with Talabi, he was happy as a happy thing. We received pics and videos every day, Talabi was patient and spent time training Monty, she is absolutely fabulous and clearly a dog lover. I will not hesitate to use Talabi again in future, in fact, Monty is looking forward to his next visit. Thanks so much for taking such wonderful care of him.”
“Sara and Franz are very kind, caring, sweet souls. We left our dog, Fig, in very safe hands. She was extremely comfortable right from the start and didn’t want to leave…she was a very happy dog when we picked her up (which isn’t normally the case). Sara’s place is very neat, tidy and dog friendly with lots of space and a garden. I’d highly recommend them and will be booking them again very soon.”
“Our dog had a lovely stay with Sarah. It sounds like she had lot of walks and outdoor play time as well as many cuddles. We woukd happily leave our dog with Sarah again :-)”
“I was so anxious about being away from Rocco for 1 week as that’s the longest I’ve left him for, but Roxy and Matt were wonderful. Got regular updates and pictures really helped me enjoy my holiday more. Rocco has come home very happy and content. Thank you both so much and will 100% be booking with you again. 🐾”
“I would happily use Gemma again to look after my dog, Honey. Gemma is very friendly and kept me updated regularly with messages, videos and photos whilst looking after Honey. Gemma was also very thoughtful and brought treats with her for Honey to have. Honey was very at ease and relaxed after Gemma had been caring for her.”
“Fabulous sitter for our medium sized rescue dog Scrumpy. He's got a few quirks but Isobel didn't seem fazed by them! She was also super flexible for us with the drop off and collection. Would definitely recommend 😊”
“Clara is brilliant. Alfie has just returned from 3 nights with her and I can tell he had a great time. She was so welcoming and I immediately felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She clearly loves dogs and Alfie got on very well with her dog Vincent. She’s also an excellent communicator and was flexible when I needed to change drop off and pick up times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
“Bussa had a wonderful time with his new pals Iona and Swan and we felt confident that he was being well looked after. Will definitely book again. Thanks to you both for making our time away stress free.”
“This is the second time Monica has looked after Rose and we couldn’t be happier. Rose is quite a nervous dog with some different quirks but Monica always helps Rose feel settled. Monica adjusted her work to be at home with Rose a lot and kept us up to date with photos regularly. Would definitely ask her to watch Rose again in the future!”
“Toni was so lovely and patient with Otis! She sent some gorgeous pics and we could see he was having a great time. She really listened to Otis little quirks and we felt super comfortable leaving Otis with Toni. Will 100% book again 😄”
“It was a last minute booking with Suzana but as soon as I met her, I knew Connie would be well cared for in a lovely home. Thank you for the regular photo updates and we will definitely be in touch when we visit Brighton again.”
“Joely is wonderful, she stayed up with doggo whilst she settled on the first night. She sent photo updates of doggo having a blast and snuggles in silly ways. Doggo is chilled where she has obviously come back from her own relaxing holiday. Can't recommend Joely enough! Thank you Joely, you're a wonderful and caring human. Thank you for sharing your home with our fluffy family member.”
“Daphne was very welcoming and caring four our two dogs. Giving updates and pictures on walks etc, which was appreciated. The dogs looked very well on collection and I think would love to go back again when the opportunity arises.”

Jessica was wonderful with Sophie and kindly helped me at very short notice. She gave Sophie lots of love and attention, and her private garden was a real bonus for her. Jessica sent me reassuring photos, videos and updates throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. I was initially concerned about Sophie potentially accessing the steep staircase leading down to the basement area, as she is an older dog, but Jessica listened carefully and reassured me by making sure the door remained securely closed so that Sophie could not reach it. I really appreciated how responsive and attentive she was to Sophie’s safety and needs. Sophie looked happy and comfortable with her, and I would be very pleased to ask Jessica to care for her again.
Gemma was absolutely wonderful with Sophie and gave me such peace of mind. She first helped me at short notice for a few hours, and then looked after Sophie again while I was in hospital. On the day of my surgery, Gemma thoughtfully arranged to work remotely so that she could stay with Sophie and keep her company. She was so warm, gentle and attentive—taking Sophie for walks, cuddling with her on the sofa, and making a comfortable bed for Sophie beside her own bed so that Sophie wouldn’t feel alone overnight. Gemma sent me lovely photo and video updates throughout, which were incredibly reassuring. Sophie looked relaxed, happy and very comfortable with her. I’m so grateful for the care and affection Gemma gave her and would happily ask her to look after Sophie again. Highly recommended!
I was really happy with the way Edwina looked after Blue. She kept me up to date so I knew he was having a good time, having lots of walks and got a trip or two to the beach! He was happy and tired when I picked him up, which was great :-) I highly recommend her as a friendly, kind and trustworthy sitter.
Chloë accepted Fynn as a v. last minute booking which I was extremely grateful for. During the stay, her care and knowledge helped give Fynn a loving and fantastic experience. Communication was excellent - with pupdates throughout and specific questions to ensure that Fynn received the best guidance when needed. We only hope she'll accept us again in the future. 5 stars!
I had a really great experience with Sara and Frans. They were both very friendly and caring, and the communication was excellent throughout. They kept me updated on Moon, which gave me great peace of mind, and I could tell she was very well looked after and happy in their care. I would 100% recommend them and would happily trust them with Moon again! 🐾❤️
Michaela and Simon once again did a wonderful job of looking after Bertie. They kept us up to date with his wellbeing and what he was up to and sent us plenty of photos so we could focus on enjoying our holiday rather than worrying about him. Bertie loves visiting Simon and Michaela, and especially loves playtime with their dog Scout. I’d thoroughly recommend these sitters. 😊
Huda was a great host to our dog who was a bit nervous as this was his first time being left with someone else since we adopted him. Huda was in constant communication with us and provided us pictures of our dog through out his stay which was really lovely and it kept us at ease seeing him looking happy and content. If you want a loving and caring sitter I would highly recommend Huda. So much so that I think we have found our sitter for our dog if we do go away again. 10 out of 10 would recommend! ☺️
Sassy just had a really good stay at Lena's. Lena provided a calm environment for Sassy to settle in to. Being of a some what nervous disposition Sassy likes to take a new stay at her own pace and Lens allowed just that. We had regular updates during the weekend and we collected a calm happy dog at the end of it. Big thank you for looking after our fur face.
Toni helped us with a last minute boarding request for our rescue dog. She was great at communicating beforehand and during the stay and took really good care of our dog! She was also kind enough to drive out to Woodingdean from town to meet our dog beforehand to make sure he felt comfortable. We will definitely book with Toni again :)

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Hove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hove on Rover is £36.8 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 2,177 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hove. 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 .
