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.”
About: Ive been looking after dogs, cats, horses and small pets all my life, (professionally trained 10 years) I’m super confident with any pet and love animals more than anything, I know how important it is to find the right person to trust with your furry friend but I promise you that’s me! I can tailor you and your pets needs accordingly and am happy to chat about requirements etc! Im currently working 2 days a week online at home so I am home 7 days a week for the whole day. So I’m super available, my house is spacious with a lovley garden, and also surrounded by dog friendly parks and beautiful walks! Ive had dogs all my life so it’s very natural for a dog or cat to be at home. I’m comfortable with assuring your pet is fed, watered, walked and entertained for their full time with me. My house is very calm as well as it’s just me during the day, so your pet will have a stress free time. I’m also comfortable with medical assistance for pets as I’m really experienced with dogs and cats in medical emergencies etc.
“Can’t thank Leanne and Abbi enough for taking such fabulous care of my precious boy Fraser. Appreciated lots of daily updates and plenty of photos. Which really put me at ease that he was being spoilt rotten, and have a wonderful time Can’t recommend you enough!! Fraser has had his his own little holiday with you. He’ll be so pleased to see you in a couple of weeks 🐶❤️❤️❤️”
“Sarah looked after Juno at really short notice and was brilliant. Juno took to her straight away, and Sarah kept us updated throughout, which we appreciated. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog. She’s reliable, kind and great with dogs. Happy to recommend her and would book again.”
“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.”
“From initial meeting to picking Poppy up from her stay, Valentina was warm, professional and communicative. Poppy had such a fantastic time with Valentina and family! Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Thanks Valentina!”
“Petra and Olly are absolutely amazing. I always get nervous about leaving Lyla with new people, but they put me at ease straight away. They’re incredibly caring and kept me fully informed with great updates throughout. Lyla was so happy after her stay, which says everything. They took her out for lots of walks and were genuinely thoughtful and considerate the whole time. I couldn’t recommend them enough and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much, guys.”
“Bertie was VERY happy to see Caroline again and she took great care of him, taking him on long walks and giving him lots of snuggles. He ate all of his food, which he doesn’t usually do when he’s with a sitter as he’s quite anxious, so it shows he’s very comfortable with her, which is great. It’s so reassuring to know he’s so well looked after when he’s with her. Thank you, Caroline”
“Lois was amazing, really communicative and friendly! She was so pleased to see Tinto and he was so happy and well looked after when we picked him up! Amazing dog sitter and Tinto is excited for his next stay with her.”
“We left Fig in great hands with Beckie and Ed. They were super receptive to her needs and adapted her stay to ensure she was always comfortable. Fig had a great time and didn’t want to leave.”
“Joely was amazing! I left my doggo with her for four days and she took care of her really well and kept me updated the whole time. She was sending me photos and videos and I didn't have to worry about my dog ❤️ she's great and I definitely recommend her to anyone. We will also ask her to take care of her again”
“Our pooch Ollie absolutely loved Jenna and her home, and she cared for Ollie like her own. He was positively spoilt and loved… with cheeky photos received of Ollie on the couch and bed 😂😂 we felt so at ease while away knowing Ollie was having a holiday of his own and was loved on in a warm and happy home! Thanks again Jenna - Ollie can’t wait for his next holiday with you! 🥰 x”
“Honestly my dog bruce couldn't of been in better hands with Alex! It looked like he had the best time. Alex always kept me up to date with what bruce was up to and how he was doing with videos, this really gave me piece of mind knowing he's alright with a very caring crazy dog lover! Highly recommend Alex :)”

Absolutely fantastic dog boarding and day care from Darren. Cooper was in safe hands and he had a fantastic time. Darren is very knowledgeable, trustworthy and friendly. Will recommend Darren to others who are local and we will definitely use Darren again when needed. Thank you so much.
Nicola was fantastic with Beans. He’s an energetic young dog and she cared for him for about two weeks. She took him on lots of walks in parks, forests and even let him swim at the beach. He returned home happy and seemed even better behaved. He was much more sociable with other dogs too. Thank you Nicola for your care.
Chewie was really well looked after for her stay with Daisy - ahead of the stay, we met up and Daisy made sure she had all of the information needed to ensure a comfortable stay, asking questions I hadn't thought of! Would absolutely recommend Daisy - and will be using her again next time we need Chewie to be looked after :)
Molly watched our dogs again for a week while we were away. They were so excited to see her, which always makes us feel good about leaving them. She kept us updated throughout the week, and it was nice knowing they were well looked after. We’d definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!
There is not enough praise for the care and attention Gaston recieved during his stay with E & C. I received lots of photos and general information about what he was up to. E & C were confident in his care and he was calm and contented when I collected him. Highly recommend
Our 8 month old puppy Cockapoo had his first sleepover at IIiyana’s and he seemed to absolutely love it and clearly had a great time! IIiyana kept us updated with photos. IIiyana is very kind and patient and you can see how much she loves dogs. Our puppy loves going to stay or for a walk with IIiyana. We highly recommend IIiyana and will defenitely be booking again.
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.
Beckie and Ed have looked after our two chihuahuas a couple of times now, once for a week and a few times for the day. I couldn't recommend them enough, our dogs absolutely love staying with them and feel so comfortable at their house. They don't settle easily but with Beckie and Ed they didn't want to come home! Would highly recommend, thank you so much! ❤️

FAQs for Boarding - Hove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hove on Rover is £37.23 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 2,152 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 .
