“Laura is amazing with Fenrir! 🐾 She’s kind, reliable, and incredibly attentive. When Fenrir refuses to eat (which he sometimes does 😅), Laura patiently tries so many different ways to get him to eat — she really goes the extra mile to care for him. She always keeps me updated and makes sure he’s happy and comfortable. Fenrir absolutely loves spending time with her (and Az!), and I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Thank you so much, Laura — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 💕”

“Rachel was fantastic with Stevie! Met us beforehand last minute to put us at ease about leaving her, sent regular updates and lots of great photos and we could tell she put time and effort into playing with Stevie and getting to know her and she definitely knows her stuff when it comes to dogs.

About: I have always loved dogs and understand just how much they mean to a family, because to me they are never “just pets” — they are part of the family. Sadly, my own beloved dog George passed away in February, and I miss him every single day. Looking after him gave me so much joy, love and companionship, and I would now love the opportunity to share that same care and affection with other people’s dogs. Becoming a dog sitter feels like a lovely way to do something meaningful, while also helping owners feel completely reassured that their dog is in safe, loving hands. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone who will treat them with kindness, patience and genuine affection, and that is exactly the care I would provide. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa or simply having company and a calm routine, I will make sure they feel happy, secure and well looked after while you are away. I can offer a loving, reliable and attentive environment, and I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. I would always take the time to get to know your dog so I can care for them in the way that suits them best. Most importantly, I want owners to have complete peace of mind, knowing their dog is being cared for as if they were my own. Because I work from home, your dog would have plenty of company, care and attention throughout the day. I am around to provide reassurance, regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks and lots of affection, so they will never feel left alone for long periods. I understand how important it is for owners to know their dog is safe, happy and well looked after while they are away, and being at home means I can give them the time, care and companionship they deserve. I have a secure fenced garden and work from home, which means your dog would have constant care, company and attention throughout the day. They would never be left feeling lonely or unsettled, and I can provide a safe, loving environment where they can relax, play and feel completely at home. Whether they enjoy cuddles, garden time, walks or simply having someone nearby, I will make sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for at all times.
“Sarah and Matty were lovely to Shankly. They have a lovely home with a garden that Shanks loved to play in. It was clear that he enjoyed his stay by the love he showed them as he was leaving. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sarah to anyone else. We look forward to Shanks staying over again.”
“Fabulous dog sitters, very caring and kept me updated on my dogs daily welfare. Kobi seemed happy even though he is a very nervous and clingy dog. I would recommend to anyone looking for a loving holiday home.”
“Absolute superstar sitter!! 🥰 Skye stayed with Louise for a week on a last minute booking while we were going on hols and she was nothing short of amazing!! Great communications, pickups and drops offs on time and I could tell when Skye came home that she had had a wonderful time. She was relaxed and still her happy playful little self and like she hadn’t even been away from us so it definitely must have felt like a home from home for her 😍 Louise sent us lots of pics and updates throughout the week and some lovely little extra touches. We will definitely be letting Skye go for another fun stay with her 💗 Thankyou so much Louise!!!”
“Saoirse was amazing with my dixie xx I couldn’t have found any one better. Dixie hasn’t had the best experiences with boarding which has left her extremely stressed and we really needed someone to have patience, love, cuddles and time for her xx And that’s exactly what she got with Saoirse xx I received pictures, updates which made me feel incredibly calm knowing she was comfortable and in safe loving hands xxx I can’t thank you enough and how amazing and chilled she was returning home xx I will absolutely because using Saoirse again xxx see you soon xxx”

Laura took amazing care of my dog, Frodo, while I was away. She is reliable, responsible, and clearly loves animals. Every day she kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind and made it much easier to enjoy my holiday. I’m incredibly grateful to Laura for looking after Frodo so well. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands meant everything to me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Laura!
James was fantastic from the moment we met him, he was reassuring about understanding both Louie and Fern and their different personalities. Both dogs loved him on the first meet and then ran in happy when we took them for their stay. James sent updates and pictures for both dogs while they stayed with him and this was very much appreciated/loved!! Couldn’t have asked for better and would happily book James again! Thank you from all us but especially Louie and Fern xx

George absolutely loved his stay with Katie. As he was staying for 10 days we did a meet and greet first and I could tell from then that he would be in great hands. The whole family are lovely and passionate dog lovers. I got regular videos and pictures which was great and he went on lots of lovely walks. Would 100% recommend Katie to anyone and will be using again

This was the first time we had used the app, and we really did hit the jackpot. Jackie made us feel so welcome from our first meeting, and when we were away, the daily updates we received showing olive so happy and well looked after meant we were fully able to relax and enjoy our break. Jackie’s garden was fully secure and dog friendly, and it was clear all of her family were true dog lovers. We would have no hesitation in recommending her and will definitely be using her again. Thank you Jackie!
We have just picked up our dog from Helen and he really enjoyed his stay there 😀 Helen kept us up to date with photos and videos which was lovely. I was quite anxious about leaving him as we have never left him before and he can get quite anxious, but will definitely be using Helen again as he seemed to really enjoy his stay there, thank you Helen

FAQs for Boarding - Knowsley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Knowsley 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 2,515 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Knowsley. 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 North West 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 .
