“Gabriela was fantastic with Tuco. Her communication was prompt and excellent, and she made a real effort to understand his care needs before boarding. I’d highly recommend her.”
“Fantastic, reliable and flexible boarder. Our dog was in great hands and loving company of the whole family and corgi Marta. We received videos/photos every day. Would be delighted to use boarding services again. Thank you Nataliya, Marta and the whole family.”
“Luna had a fantastic time with Christine and her family and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was in extremely good hands. Everything from communication, meeting ahead of time and drop off/pick up was super smooth, and I got regular updates and photos which was great. I will definitely be in touch again when Luna needs someone to watch her, and I can strongly recommend Christine as a dog sitter for whoever needs someone to watch their dogs.”
“Milo was taken such great care of, and he was really happy during his stay. I can tell he already misses his friends there!! Genna is very responsible and always replied to my messages quickly, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She also sent regular photo updates, which I really appreciated. I would definitely book with her again for our next holiday. Thank you so much!!”
“Andrew was incredibly attentive and caring, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, which reassured me that my dog was happy and comfortable. The communication was prompt and friendly, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Millie can be a little nervous in new environments, so we knew this stay might take her a bit of time to settle. It did come with a few challenges, but Ornela handled everything with great care, patience, and understanding. Communication was excellent throughout, and we really appreciated the regular updates and the effort made to keep Millie comfortable and supported. We’re very grateful for the care and attention given — thank you again for looking after her so well. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ornela to anyone — she’s a very caring and understanding person.”

“Dominika is wonderful with Finn and very lovely. I still owe her a carton of eggs and some upholstery cleaner though. Plus I need to improve my techy skills with Rover and add reviews sooner”
“We've recently had a great experience with Ekaterina and couldn't be happier. She took care of my dog with such love and attention. We've received regular updates and photos on Lava's adventures - Ekaterina made sure Lava's getting enough stimulation and walks throughout the day. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of trustworthy and caring dog sitter! We'll be sure to come back again!”
“Ebony absolutely loved her stay with Ineta and her family. Ineta sent me regular updates with pictures which I really appreciated. She also picked up Ebony and dropped her back home (so so helpful!) as well as doing daily visits to our home to check in on our cat. Ineta was very flexible and accommodating to Ebony’s needs and I had total peace of mind. Will definitely be booking with Ineta again! I highly recommend her services to anyone wanting a loving home for their pooch whilst they are away or in need of care.”
“Lauren watched Teddy for us for 10 days recently, and I had a great experience with her from the first meeting until she dropped him off. While Teddy was with her, Lauren kept us totally updated and even took him on a beach vacation. I saw pictures and videos of Teddy looking super happy, and that really put my mind at ease. I'd definitely trust Lauren with Teddy again. Thanks, Lauren.”
“Danielle and her family looked after Poppy for 4 days. This was the first time I have left her with someone other than family/friends so I was a bit nervous but Danielle kept me updated with photos/videos and Poppy seemed happy. I would definitely ask Danielle to look after Poppy again.”

About: Hi, my name is Yana Dogs have always had a special place in my hear I had a dog of my own, and over the years I’ve also enjoyed helping friends with their dogs — from walks and playtime to looking after them when they’re away One experience that was especially meaningful to me was staying with a friend’s puppy for a whole week while she was on holiday It was a lovely experience and reminded me just how much I enjoy caring for dogs and being part of their little world ❤️ I understand that every dog is different Some love long, energetic walks, while others prefer a slower pace with plenty of time to sniff and explore I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine and personality and make every walk comfortable, safe and enjoyable I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I’ll treat your dog as if they were my own — with plenty of attention, affection and care I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your four-legged friend and become someone you can trust and rely on 🐶❤️ After every walk, I’m happy to send you a photo and a little update, so you can see your dog enjoying their time and know how their walk went 🐶📸 I live 1 minute away from Canbury Garden Thank you :) I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to provide daytime care, overnight stays, and house sitting. I can be flexible with different schedules and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I live in a comfortable and peaceful apartment in a pet-friendly area, with a large, beautiful park just a short walk away. It’s a great place for dogs to enjoy regular walks, fresh air and plenty of exercise.
About: I grew up around dogs and have always loved them. I have taken care of dogs of all ages including hosting them overnight. I also have experience with young puppies who are being toilet trained (though I have not trained them myself), so am used to puppy pads and lots of trips outside! I am flexible and can work from home 2 days per week, which I can work around based off of dog sitting responsibilities. I am also available on weekends if required. When working from home I am able to take breaks to go for walks, play with your dog and make sure they have been to the toilet and are comfy and happy! I don’t own a pet, I have a fenced garden. I live right next to the river and a 10 minute walk away from bushy park so lots of green space for walks. I also live by a street of dog friendly cafes.
“Pingu had a great time staying with Luke and we would definitely recommend him. Communication was clear from the beginning and he ensured he had all the right details in advance to make it a nice stay, so our minds were left at ease. We were kept updated and we could tell Pingu had a nice time away!”

Gabriela looked after our dog Honey, Honey has never been looked after by anyone else, other than family, I can say she was very happy, when we picked her up and all the updates, we received gave us a peace of mind that she was well loved and looked after, thank you so much. We would definitely use your services again.
Ganna looked after my 13 year old beagle Willow for 2 weeks and was exceptionally caring. I had no worries at all leaving Willow in her care and trusted her to administer her daily medication. Willow enjoyed socialising with Ganna’s dogs has returned home looking happy and healthy! I would not hesitate to use Ganna again!
After spending just over a week with Jessie, my lovely dog Chewie came home the happiest I’ve ever seen him after being away from us. It was so clear that he had been incredibly well cared for, loved, and thoroughly spoilt the entire time! I honestly can’t say enough good things about Jessie. She gave Chewie such a warm, loving home while we were away, and knowing he was so happy and well looked after gave us complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave Chewie with Jessie again, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of him!
We feel incredibly grateful and lucky to have found Chris, Emma and Django. From the moment we met them, we had such a lovely feeling about leaving Pitu in their care and they completely exceeded our expectations. Pitu had the most wonderful time with them. It was our first time leaving him for such a long stay (15 nights) and as any dog parent will understand, leaving your dog for that long can be difficult. But knowing he was happy, loved and so well looked after gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Django was also so welcoming and gentle with Pitu and it was lovely to see them become little friends 🐾❤️ Chris and Emma sent us photos and videos every single day, which meant so much to us. Seeing Pitu so relaxed, happy and enjoying himself made us feel like he was having his own holiday too! They truly looked after him as if he were their own with so much love, care and attention. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much, Chris, Emma and Django for taking such wonderful care of our little boy. We feel so lucky to have found you and will definitely be coming back to you for Pitu’s future stays. We couldn’t recommend you highly enough! Gracias !!!
We left our dog with Georgina for a long weekend and she took care of her really well! We could see that they bonded and that she was very happy. Georgina was also very responsive and proactively sending us videos and pics of our dog. We'll definitely consider her again in the future!
Clare took great care of Dug whilst we were away for a week. She was able to adapt specifically to his personaility due to her wealth of experience. The updates and pictures meant we were always reassured that we'd left him in the right place. We are very happy to have found Clare.
Charmaine helped us out at extremely short notice after another sitter was unable to keep our dog. Our older dog has multiple needs and she was brilliant and it's very obvious that he enjoyed his stay with her and their daily walks. I would highly recommend Charmaine and we'll be booking her again.
Annie and her husband were absolutely wonderful with my dog. Annie was so accommodating, supportive and easy to communicate with throughout. When I went to collect Timmy, he was so relaxed and happy, which was the best sign that he had been well looked after. I felt completely reassured leaving him with Annie and would definitely reach out to her again for support in the future. Thank you 🤍
Exceptional! Juliana is so kind, responsible and welcoming and took excellent care of Honey. Our dog Honey came back better trained than when we left! Juliana really understands dogs and is a brilliant trainer. Excellent communication from Juliana and she has a wonderful garden set up for the dogs. We are so thrilled and would highly recommend.
Pingu had a great time staying with Luke and we would definitely recommend him. Communication was clear from the beginning and he ensured he had all the right details in advance to make it a nice stay, so our minds were left at ease. We were kept updated and we could tell Pingu had a nice time away!

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Kingston upon Thames
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kingston upon Thames on Rover is £40.25 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 .

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 Greater London 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 .
