I'd definitely trust Lauren with Teddy again. Thanks, Lauren.”

Spyroula and her lovely family took such great care of our Toby. We got lovely updates during the time and Spyroula kept us updated when Toby went off his food a little. It was pretty hot while Toby stayed and Spyroula was great at ensuring he still got out either early or late in the day. Spyroula’s kids were also super lovely with Toby. Toby was a lucky dog to get to stay with Spyroula and family. Thanks again
Patricia was an excellent host to my two boys, Harri & Otto, if they could speak they would wholeheartedly agree. I was able to go away with peace of mind knowing they were in great and loving hands. I will certainly be using Patricia again and recommend anyone else to do likewise.
Juno looks very happy, almost missing Mr Lee according to his body language. Mr Lee is a professional pet sitter, took wonderful care of my Juno. I loved getting daily updates and photos.Gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Mr. Lee and definitely book again. Thanks
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Nick to look after my German Shepherd for ten days and I can’t recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started working together, his professionalism and genuine love for dogs were evident. Punctuality - Nick was always on time, which I greatly appreciated. Knowing my dog was in good hands at the scheduled times gave me peace of mind. Long Walks - He took my German Shepherd on long, stimulating walks that catered to her energy levels. It was clear he understood the importance of exercise and mental stimulation for a large breed like mine. Safety in the Heat - With the summer heat, I was particularly concerned about my dog's safety. Nick was very mindful of the weather conditions, ensuring that walks were scheduled during cooler parts of the day and providing plenty of water breaks. Check-ins with Photos and Videos - I loved receiving regular updates with photos and videos. It was reassuring to see my dog happy and engaged during their outings and at Nick’s home too. I could see she was being well looked after. This transparency made me feel connected and confident in his care. Knowledge and Handling - His expertise in handling dogs was clear. Nick demonstrated great knowledge about dog behavior and effectively managed my dog’s strong anxiety with a calm and confident demeanor. It was evident he knew how to create a positive experience for her. On top of everything, Nick had a fantastic personality. Friendly, approachable, and relaxed, he made my dog feel comfortable right away. His professional yet easygoing approach was a perfect match for my dog’s temperament. Overall, my experience with Nick was exceptional. He exceeded my expectations, and I felt completely at ease knowing my German Shepherd was in such capable hands. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! / boarder
Georgina looked after Einstein for the day, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was clear that Einstein was well looked after and happy. We'd be very happy to book with Georgina again and highly recommend her!
This was Arlo's first time boarding with Darren & Ross. Thank you for making her stay with you so perfect. Having other dogs around to play with was a real treat for Arlo. The daily photos & updates reassured us that Arlo was in good hands & was being cared for very well. Thank you so much Darren & Ross, great to meet you both & plan to use you in the future.
Cathy has been absolutely amazing with Gigi. She’s been really attentive and kept up with daily updates. Gigi had so much fun and Cathy really has been the best dog sitter I could’ve asked for. Thank you for looking after her for those days. I will definitely be looking to coming back in the future.
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.
This was our dog's first stay with Rob and went as well as any dog-owner could wish for. From our meet and greet session it was clear that he knows a lot about dogs and understands them very well. I picked up a happy and relaxed dog yesterday morning and am really delighted with how Telford's stay went. I thoroughly recommend Rob.

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