“Our lab had a great time with Jennifer! He's still quite young and this was the longest we'd been away without him, so we loved seeing the photo updates of what he'd been up to. This reassured us he was in great hands. Given the choice I think he'd have stayed longer!”

My personal experience includes caring for my own beloved dog for 15 years, during which I was responsible for all aspects of his well-being, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and regular veterinary visits. This long-term commitment has provided me with practical, hands-on experience in managing a dog's routine and adapting care as they age.

Your pet will be well looked after and loved. I am a stay at home person and do things from home apart from on a Thursday I am out 10am-2pm, and on a Friday night I work 6pm-10pm. I am in a smoke free home, one level flat, ground floor with a large back garden that is fenced and many lovely nature walks surrounding me. It's a warm cosy home, and plenty room for cuddles.
“Jessica was great! It was the first time we booked a stay for our dog Zuzu on Rover and he loved his holiday. Jess gave us updates with pictures all the time. We could see how well he was taken care of, going out for walks, getting all the cuddles and attention from the whole family. He had no sign of his usual separtion anxiety and just looked like he had a very good time during his ten days stay! Thanks Jessica :)”

About: Darcy and I have been looking after dogs for years, and we love having new doggy friends come to stay. We are both quite flexible and our home is calm and happy. Our favourite time of day is dog walk time! Followed by feeding time🤣 and belly rub time. Darcy is very used to having different dogs around him and he’s very good as adapting and making friends even with fiesty ones. We look forwards to you coming to say hello, stay or go for walks with us. Cats- I have looked after many cats and also have lived with many different ones over the years. Equally happy to pop in, play with and feed cats when required. Darcy and I like to go on walks daily, and find new interesting places, especially by the loch or lakes. We love swimming and woods. I work from home a lot which makes it easier. Communal and small garden available. Small flat with lots of doggy space. Generally though the dogs think they own the place, which is fine by me.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since I was 7 years old and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I was the proud owner of a loyal little Westie named Snowy, who sadly passed away in 2018 and will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m now dog mum to Indie, my calm and wonderfully natured 14 year old Labradoodle. I truly adore dogs and animals of all kinds and I regularly look after friends and family members dogs whenever I can. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy and well cared for. I treat dogs like humans and love to give them plenty of love, attention, treats and walks. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can offer a safe, welcoming home for your dog. I have a large, fully fenced garden where they can run around and play freely. I live in the rural countryside, which means plenty of opportunities for peaceful walks through parks and beautiful green spaces. Your dog will have lots of fresh air, exercise, and space to explore. I have a large, fully fenced garden where your dog can safely run and play. I also have a 14 year old Labradoodle with a wonderfully gentle temperament. She has never shown any aggression toward another dog and is calm, friendly and very used to being around other pets. As she is older, she tends to keep to herself. If needed, the dogs can easily be kept separate in different rooms to ensure everyone feels comfortable and secure.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Inverclyde is £30

Emma & Sandy looked after Willow for 2 nights whilst we were visiting the area for a wedding. We couldn’t have asked for better care, Willow was treated like their own dog, it was like home from home. We received regular updates and photos and it was obvious Willow was very happy. We would definitely recommend.
Ivan was great with our 11 year old border collie. He has only ever been with family before while we went on holiday. we were really nervous about leaving him with anyone else but Ivan kept in touch with regular pictures and updates, which really made us feel at ease while being away and our boy looked happy and content in all of them. Will definitely use Ivan again.
Kirsty watched my girl Frankie while we were away for 3 nights. This was the first time leaving her with someone that wasn’t friends or family and we were both nervous. Kirsty put our minds at ease straight away as we were getting updates as soon as we had left the house and she kept us updated throughout trip. I would definitely recommend Kirsty and would love to use her services again in the future. Thank you!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Inverclyde
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Inverclyde on Rover is £34.5 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 .

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 Scotland 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 .
