“I left my 11 year-old dog with them for four days There were plenty of updates and reassuring messages and taff came back very happy and clearly extremely well cared for I would absolutely use them again to care for taff”
“Hannah is lovely! It was the first time we had left our dog with anyone and she can be reactive wirh other dogs. Hannahs communication before and during our holiday was brilliant, we did a meet before and she sent photos while we were away. Bear looked very happy and relaxed! Hannah and Ryan are obviously experienced with dogs and genuinely care for the animals they look after. Thank you so much!”
“Sarah was good with our anxious dog, approaching him in a way that allowed him to adjust and seemingly enjoy his stay. She's a good communicator and you can tell she is passionate and caring. We would happily leave Eddie in her care again.”
“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.”
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.
“Leanne was amazing, kept me updated with loads of pictures and showed Meelo so much love he almost didn’t want to come back home after his stay. I would highly recommend them, very kind and loving towards my baby and I would 100% rebook :)<3 thank you Leanne”
“Sarah made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby with her, she kept me updated and kept him hydrated through the heat, took him to the beach, loads of walks and cuddles, she also sent so many pictures and I would 100% recommend her and she will definitely be my regular dog sitter now so definitely book her but leave some space for me hehe. ❤️❤️❤️”
“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.”
“Our dog Poppy spent a wonderful week with Roxy and Tom. We received regular updates with pics of Poppy’s adventures- daily walks, cuddles, meeting other dogs and generally being well-cared for and loved. Just as we do! Roxy was very attentive to Poppy’s needs and we felt completely comfortable and happy leaving her. Roxy and Tom certainly left a positive impression on Poppy as even now when we say ‘Where’s Roxy and Tom?’ her ears pluck up and we know she’s smiling ☺️. Will definitely use Roxy and Tom again for boarding when this is needed and it works for them too. Thank you both 😁”
“Thank you Toni for looking after Mademoiselle La Flooph… very kind and generous with your communications and reassurances ( I can be a worry mum) and Birdy was calm happy and smiling when we collected her. I was really happy with the care and love you gave, the updates and understanding when we arrived home a little late. Until next time X”
“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.”
“Paige was brilliant with max. I could tell from the pictures she sent he was very happy and looked at home. I don’t think he wanted to leave when I picked him up!!!! Would definitely recommend 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.”
“Thank you Alex for looking after my Dottie. Her first time away from home and her people. The family wedding I was attending meant no one she knew was available. From the moment we first met at a park meet and greet Dottie happily trotted along next to Alex and I'm not surprised he has this doggie zen energy about him and you know he puts the dogs first. From wet bandanas and frozen water in the water bowl on the hottest of days to the love and cuddles that Dottie needed in my absence. I would definitely trust in Alex again and recommend his services. Best wishes Alex From Dottie and Sonia”
“Tony loved staying with Joely! We can tell he had a great time and always looked happy in pics. The amount of updates were great while also letting us enjoy our time away knowing Tony was being cared for. Would deffo recommend! Thanks Joely and Thom 😊”
“looked after my dog Onyx for 4 days and nights, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She treated him as if he was her own and gave him so much love and care. She sent me regular updates and pictures which really put my mind at ease, and I loved seeing how happy he was. He went on lots of walks and was showered with affection by Beckie and her lovely partner too. I felt completely relaxed knowing Onyx was being so well looked after and cared for while I was away. It’s clear Beckie genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond. I’ll definitely be using Beckie every time in the future if she’s available I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

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).

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 .
