“Skye had the best time with Lee and his family! She loved playing with Buddy and we loved seeing them together in the pictures Lee sent. Great communication, responded so quickly to all messages, kind when we were an hour late due to traffic and delay with the ferry. Already rebooked! Highly recommend.”
“This being our first time using Rover we were very pleased with the service. From the outset communication with Mark was easy. Responding quickly to queries. As soon as Bondi arrived at their home she was welcomed by two and four legged new friends. I was reassured during the sit. Would definately recommend. Thank you.”
“We couldn’t have been happier leaving Milo with Rene and Rob while we were on holiday! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in the best hands. They spoilt him rotten, walked him every day, and gave him so much love and attention. It was clear he was treated as part of the family. Rene always sent pictures and updates which put my mind completely at ease and made me feel so good knowing he was happy and well looked after. We came back to one very happy and content pup! We will absolutely be booking again without hesitation. Thank you both so much! 🐾”
About: I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have experience caring for different breeds, from an American Akita to my miniature dachshund, who’s still very much part of the family. My Akita was with me from being a puppy right through to 13 years old, so I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life, from training and daily exercise to caring for them as they get older. Dogs have always been a big part of our home. I have two young children who have grown up around dogs since birth and are very gentle and comfortable with them. I genuinely love having dogs around the house. Plenty of fuss, cuddles, attention, and long walks, especially down at the beach, are all part of everyday life here. I aim to make every dog feel relaxed, safe, and at home while they’re with us. 🐾 I work full-time Monday to Friday (7:30am–5:00pm), so I am mainly available for dog boarding and pet care at weekends. This means I can offer a calm, consistent home environment with plenty of attention, walks, and time spent with your dog while I am home. On some weekends I have my children staying with me every other weekend. They are dog-friendly, calm, and have grown up around dogs, so your pet will be part of a family environment when they are here. On the alternate weekends, it will just be myself at home, providing a quieter setting for dogs who prefer a more relaxed space. During the weekdays, I am open to considering dogs that are well-behaved and comfortable being left alone during working hours (7:30am–5:00pm), provided the owner is happy with this routine. I ensure early morning, evening, and night-time care with walks and attention before and after work. Overall, I aim to provide a safe, stable, and caring home where dogs are well looked after and treated like part of the family. 🐾 I have a reasonably sized, fully fenced garden where dogs can safely relax, play, or enjoy some fresh air when the weather is nice. Inside the home, dogs are welcome to have full access to shared living spaces and will be treated as part of the family. They are allowed on furniture, so they can feel comfortable and at home, although I do not allow dogs on the beds. I also have my own dachshund, Winnie, who is very friendly and used to other dogs, so your dog will have company and social interaction during their stay. If required, I can comfortably crate dogs and will follow any routine or instructions provided by owners to ensure they feel secure and settled. My priority is always to provide a safe, calm, and supervised environment where dogs are well cared for and can relax. 🐾
About: I have had my own dog/dogs for over 25 years. Recently lost my beloved Echo to cancer. Would love to rehome another 4 legged friend but due to work commitments would not be fair. Whilst caring for your special friend rest assured they will be treated like a prince/princess. I am waiting to start my new job. In the mean time I am free 24-7 to care for or walk you beloved pouch. I can come to you, or if you prefer your pet is welcome at my home. Once settled in my new position will be able to update my calendar with available date. I have a secure garden and dog friendly home. Lots of nice walks on the doorstep or can go further afield if your furry friend is happy to travel. Over the years I have been lucky enough to be mum to 3 Springer Spaniels and Echo, a Lurcher (Whippet cross). Sadly Echo passed away last year and due to work commitments have been unable to rehome another 😢.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the last 11 years and absolutely love them to bits. I’m caring, reliable and confident with dogs of all sizes, and I’ll always treat your dog like they’re my own. Whether they need walks, cuddles, playtime or a calm companion, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, walks and care they need. I’m available for boarding on weekends. I’ll always make sure pets have regular toilet breaks, fresh water, playtime, cuddles and a routine that suits them. I’m also happy to discuss times that work best around your pet’s usual routine. I would care for pets as if they were my own, whether they’re in my home or in their owner’s home. I will always follow the owner’s routine, including feeding times, walks, toilet breaks, medication and any special instructions. I will make sure pets have fresh water, a clean and comfortable environment, lots of attention, and safe supervised care. My own dog is bathed, groomed and well cared for at home, with flea and worming treatment kept up to date, along with his boosters. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up, there were always dogs and cats in the house, so caring for them quickly became second nature. That early experience gave me natural confidence and affection with pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, including senior dogs who need a little extra tender loving care and puppies who are still learning the basics. I really take the time to get to know each animal’s personality and what makes them feel safe and happy. I treat every pet like family, because I know just how much they mean to you. I'm currently available most days. I am not working so I am very flexible. I can be available to care for your pet anytime from morning to night. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can feel right at home. My garden is fully fenced off and the inside of my home is cozy, clean and free of any potential hazards. Whether your let loves lounging in the sun or playing around in the garden, they'll have a safe and relaxing environment to enjoy.
“Gertie and Teddy had the best time with Sofia and family. Sofia sent regular pics and updates and loved them like her own. I would highly recommend Sofia.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Isle of Wight
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Isle of Wight on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 746 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Isle of Wight. 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 .
