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.
About: I’m a passionate dog lover with 2 years of hands-on pet care experience! My friend is a veterinarian who has taught me many useful tips for keeping pets healthy and happy. I know basic training, leash walking, and good outdoor habits. I’ve cared for three wonderful dogs: a 6-year-old Shepherd who visits me every two months for a week, a sweet Teddy who stayed with me for two weeks, and a playful 2-month-old puppy who I’ve showered with love and patience. Every dog I meet becomes my friend—I care for them as if they were my own! I currently have a very flexible schedule since I’m not working full-time, which means I have plenty of time and energy to devote to caring for your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll be there whenever your furry friend needs me. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I carefully follow all instructions from pet parents and provide personalized care based on your pet’s unique needs. Whether in my home or yours, I create a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets feel comfortable and loved.
“Thank you Megan. Henry was so happy and comfortable with you and he was so well looked after. Thank you for the updates and all the flexibility and kindness you have given Henry and us. We are so grateful and highly recommend everyone looks to you to spend time with their beloved animals!”


About: RSPCA volunteer and animal lover with 2 plus years experience with a variety of animals, of all ages. Would always love to meet more and help! Use this code for money off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/elizas14542 Currently working part-time (2/3 days a week in evenings) so are very available throughout most days and weekends if needed, also flexible with this too. I have a fenced garden, with no other animals in the house as of right now, allowing me to take care of pets as needed.
“Thanks Reece for taking care of our little dog Teddy at short notice. Ted seemed entirely at home, and I appreciated that she had company all day, getting to explore the garden, snooze on the beds and even get a little walk - Reece was great at providing updates and photos, and super friendly.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child. I have always had multiple pets. I am an ex police officer, so you know you can trust me in your home. I’m confident, friendly and reliable. I am extremely flexible and willing to change my day around to meet the needs of you and your pet. Any questions/requests just ask me! I am confident with animals and very trustworthy. I intend on keeping the owner updated with pictures and discussions about their pets throughout my visit
“Victoria has been great! She was communicating very well whilst looking after our dog and Bonnie (our dog) had a great time. She settled in straight away and she was happy as ever. Highly recommend Victoria!”

About: I grew up around animals and have a love for dogs and cats in particular although I have been known to cuddle a piglet or a bearded dragon at times! I have always had one or two dogs as an adult. A house just feels empty without them. My love of animals motivated me to complete a degree in animal behaviour. This gave me a really good insight into canine behaviour and the ability to look at a situation from a dogs perspective, this has been invaluable at times. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, from energetic young dogs to older pets who need a calmer, more gentle approach. I understand that every dog is an individual and I pay particular attention to how the dynamics between the dogs change when they are living together so that we can keep everyone happy. I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences and needs so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while in my care. I can also carry on training habits or administer medication whilst they are with us. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping to their usual routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. My partner Mandy and I are both working from home at the moment so there will be someone available most of the time for back door opening, company and cuddles. I'm flexible and can usually accommodate your dog's normal routine, helping them feel settled and comfortable while they're with us. Your dog will be part of the pack in our home from home environment. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. We have a loving family home with three children—two teenagers and an eight-year-old who has grown up around animals and is always gentle and respectful. We also have two friendly, dog-tolerant cats, so any dogs staying with us will need to be comfortable around cats and children. Outside, we have a securely fenced area of the garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors. In the summer, they have access to their own paddling pool. We also have a larger garden for exercise and play, although this area isn't fully escape-proof, so adventurous dogs with a talent for finding gaps may need to stay on a lead or enjoy the secure area instead. I always tailor each dog's access to outdoor spaces based on their personality and level of recall to keep them safe. I only accept dogs that I feel will be happy and comfortable in our home environment. This helps ensure a safe, relaxed and enjoyable experience for your dog, our family and our own pets. To determine this, we always like to have a visit from you and your dog to our home. We just want to be as sure as we can that everyone is going to be happy during their stay!
“Poppy has been absolutely amazing with our 3-month-old puppy, Bobby! From the moment we met, it was evident she's fantastic with dogs and is very caring, loving, and patient towards them. This was so important to me. Bobby had such a blast today, it's like we've sent him to a five-star puppy retreat/woodland hotel. He had a fab walk with Poppy and Primrose in the picturesque countryside. I really appreciated photo updates from Poppy and lovely check-ins about Bobby's stay. I highly recommend Poppy to all loving pet parents, she's truly fab with animals! We have already booked another long-term stay with Poppy for our pup :) Thanks so much, Poppy!”

“Lego has been to stay with Nicola a few times and we have more booked in. She has the best time ever and we would highly recommend Nicola to everyone. She is so caring and her love and passion for dogs is quite clear as soon as you meet her. We couldn't leave Lego with anyone better. Nicola makes sure that it is a home from home for her. Thank you for looking after our little girl and we will see you next week.”

“Our pup had the most amazing time with Sarah And her family! They helped reasure us of how she was settling in and made such a fuss of her i cant thank them enough for the special care they gave her! 🥰”

“Otis spent the day with Jayne and James in preparation for a longer stay with them. The regular photos and videos helped me to feel reassured that Otis was having a lovely time with a caring, friendly couple - he was happy and settled when I collected him and I feel happy that he was well looked after, and will be on his future stays.”

Thank you Megan. Henry was so happy and comfortable with you and he was so well looked after. Thank you for the updates and all the flexibility and kindness you have given Henry and us. We are so grateful and highly recommend everyone looks to you to spend time with their beloved animals!

Matt and Zoe are the tag team of dreams. They had our show cocker Cassie for the first time this week and she just loved it there. She got some amazing walks, treats and lots of attention and by the time her daycare had come to an end, she sulked because she didn't want to leave! All the signs of a good experience. Zoe and Matt are really lovely, accommodating and were kind enough to let us visit them beforehand so we could see where she would be etc. communication was also top tier. Couldn't recommend them enough! ✨🥰

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lancaster on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 273 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Lancaster. About 89% of Lancaster sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Lancaster commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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.
