“My golden doodle, Jimmy, had an overnight stay with Alex in her home. I was very happy with the service she provided. She is clearly an experienced dog sitter and was very attentive to all of his needs. She sent us texts, a video and photos so that I knew Jimmy was behaving himself, which was very reassuring. When I arrived to collect Jimmy, he was stretched out on her windowsill, enjoying the sunshine, and was very relaxed. I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter and we have booked Jimmy in to spend 9 days with her in September. I can now look forward to my holiday and feel confident that my dog will be absolutely fine and well looked after by Alex whilst we are away.”
“Reece and Lucy looked after our dog Bobby for a week, and I can honestly say they've been fantastic. Before we booked Bobby's stay, we had a nice meet and greet in the park which was a lovely idea. Bobby immediately liked Reece and Lucy; they both were so great with him. It's obvious they're both really good with dogs of all temperaments and Bobby had a great stay. We had regular updates and photos which was a nice touch and reassurance that our dog was doing well :) As we picked our dog up he was so happy and cheerful so I can with confidence say that they've been lovely looking after him. Thanks so much and I will definitely book another stay with them!! Highly recommend, they're such lovely people and dogs love them.”
“It was my first time using a sitter so I was quite nervous! Victoria put me at ease with the frequent updates and personalised care for my dachshund, Noodle. He had a wonderful time, and Victoria was super patient and accommodating, and truly created a home away from home for him. Thank you!”
“Matt and Zoe had a wonderful care of our little dog. We were updated daily about his activities and I believe he became an even better dog with their care and stimuli. I strongly recommend them if you need someone to look after your dog. You won't be disappointed.”
“Esmeralda is absolutely brilliant, my dog was well looked after, multiple walks and pictures, loving like at home environment, definitely recommend and would book again, thank you Esmeralda”

About: Hi I'm Megan- from Lancaster a long life animal lover with a passion for animals I have always loved animals from an early age growing up we always had pets from chickens to dogs and cats. When I turned 16 I started working at an animal farm working with a range of animals from farm animals to alpacas ,goats, owls,deers horses and small animals walking feeding and cleaning them on a daily basis my stepdad has 2 horses that I look after called tommy and colin and I also have my own pet rabbit called Daisy My motivation to become a pet sitter comes from the love I get from animals I believe that all animals should have the same love as any member of my family i offer lots of services from to drop off visits, dog walking to sitting in your home or my home when you book with me you can expect regular updates and photos and plenty of outdoor time for your pet if they are allowed I aim to provide and loving environment for your pet.i have been raised around animals and have worked with them so you can expect your pets to be trusted around me. we can also meet and familiarise Your cat or dog with me if that would help I tailor every walk or stay to suit your pets needs whether that means quiet companionship and cuddles or extra reassurance i also have my own company with a website if you would like some more information ........ I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends megan I’m currently not working which means I will have plenty of availability, I am very reliable and can work weekdays and weekends any time of the day I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while they are with me. I follow their normal routine and the owner’s instructions, including feeding, walks, toilet breaks and playtime. I give each pet plenty of attention and company, while also respecting their space and individual needs. I keep their environment clean and make sure they are supervised and safe at all times. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and settled.
“I was looking for a sitter to watch our little Banksy whilst we went on holiday. I am so so pleased with how well he has been looked after, i received constant updates and pictures of our pooch and i knew he was in safe hands. The whole process from start to finish was amazing and went so smoothly. Chelsea and Andy are fantastic dog sitters and if your pup likes other dogs then this is a little holiday for them aswell. 10/10 review, will be using chelsea and Andy again every single time we go away. Couldn’t have asked for a more amazing family to give Banksy the best week ❤️ From Scarlett and Tom”
“Don was warm and friendly and an obvious dog person. It was great to enjoy some time away knowing my dogs were in good hands. They had lots of walks on the beach and it was reassuring to receive updates and photos. This was the first time I had left my dogs and if like me, you are worried about leaving them then Don comes highly recommended ?”
“I am always a little concerned leaving Lola with anyone. As she didn't have a good start in life. I had a very good feeling on our first meeting with Ian and Tracy. I immediately felt at ease as they clearly experienced and comfortable with dogs. They have two dogs of their own and Lola was happy to be with them. I always feel a little nervous and guilty when we go away. So to have someone like Ian and Tracy who reassures you, that she will be well looked after, gives you peace of mind. Excellent communication received, with regular updates and photos, this all helped us. Lola had lots of walks and play time, she was very happy and relaxed when we picked her up. ` I will definitely be using Ian and Tracy again. I highly recommend them for dog boarding. Thank you again.”
About: Dog owner from childhood that has extended into adulthood. Currently have a 11yr old Staffy x Lab which I have had since she was 8 weeks old. Passionate about animals, also a horse owner and I love the outdoors and long walks. Pet care fits into my daily life well. I live a 5 minute walk from Morecambe promenade. Plenty of walking available in the surrounding villages and towns. I am a nurse who is lucky enough to have a flexible rotation. So have plenty of opportunities to work both as a nurse and a dog sitter. Pets that come to stay follow the same routine as they would in their normal environment. Home from home experience. Bring with you all that your dog requires to keep them as settled and as comfortable as possible.
“We're so glad we found Poppy and Rich, who look after our puppy whenever we're away. They're both amazing with dogs, so very caring and kind. Bobby has a great time every time we drop him off! Thank you, as always x”
“Pete is the perfect choice for boarding, I couldn’t be happier with his service. Genuinely nice guy and brilliant with dogs. Constant updates keeping my mind at ease while I was away for the weekend and pictures of a very happy puppy daily. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“What an amazing couple, we left our Cockapoo Patrick overnight and were given several updates throughout his stay, including videos and pictures, they are very professional, we will definately be using them again, if we could give 10 stars we would, thank you so much again to you both 😀”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog, Luna, received. From the moment we met, it was clear how much love and attention she would get. Updates were regular and reassuring, with photos showing Luna happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was being so well looked after. We came home to a very content and well-cared-for dog. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter – Luna will definitely be visiting again!”
“Lidia is very warm and communicative, and made a big fuss of our dog Bella on arrival, so she settled in really well. She has a lovely self contained garden and Bella was free to go im and out at will. She seemed very relaxed and happy when I picked her up, and communication was great before, during and after Bella’s stay. We’ll hope to see Lidia again.”
“Daisy 2nd day care with Liv and she had so much fun playing with her doggies going on a little adventure walk and overall just having doggy fun. Lots of updates which is always lovely helps out my mind at rest as I hate leaving her but I know she is in safe and loving hands. Thanks Liv xx”

Teddie was so relaxed and comfortable with Reece on his first overnight visit. Reece alleviated any anxieties I had by communicating with me and reassuring me and sent pictures of teddie. I would highly recommend and teddie will be staying again. It’s like home from home ❤️
Matt and his partner Zoe took great care of our dog Lumi, they sent regular updates of what they were getting up to and kept Lumi busy and active. Matt and Zoe made Lumi a part of their lives for the 6 nights she was with them and it looked like she had a great time! Thanks.
It was our first time leaving Willow over night at a dog sitters so I was quite anxious. Will and Tor put our worries to rest in no time. Willow was so excited to see them. She had a lovely time and we got regular updates with photos. She'll definitely be back. Thanks so much guys!
Little Louis is our world so knowing he’s in loving and caring hands is a great feeling when we are travelling. Our little boy always comes back to us calm and relaxed. I highly recommend Phillip as he’s very professional and sends lots of photos of Louis on his lap and sleeping.

When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 318 sitters in Lancaster, 75% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
