“Can't recommend Pricilla enough for dog boarding! Cleo is small and shy dog, so I was really nervous. But Pricilla was amazing from day one — sent daily photos and updates which kept me sane, and Cleo actually seemed to enjoy herself. She really got Cleo's shy personality. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy, not stressed at all, which is huge for such a nervous dog. If you need someone trustworthy for an anxious dog, go with Pricilla. We'll definitely book again!”
“Julia was absolutely amazing with Safia ❤️ From the very beginning, she was caring, attentive, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the stay with detailed messages about walks, food, water, playtime, and how Safia was doing emotionally, which gave me so much peace of mind, and the most thorough report about her day. She even washed and dried Safia’s blanket after a little accident without hesitation, such a kind gesture that truly shows how much she cares! Safia clearly felt comfortable and loved with Julia and her family, and it made me so happy to hear how well she got along with everyone 😊 I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person. I would trust Julia again without a second thought and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, warm, patient, and genuinely loving with dogs. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Safia 🐾”
“Tereza was a brilliant host for our dog Rossi. She is super-calm and immediately won over Rossi. She was great with communications and sent loads of photos. 100% recommended!”
About: Dogs have been my whole world. I've raised everything from sausage dogs to German Shepherds, adopted a retired police dog, and even had three large dogs under my roof at once. I can handle any breed with confidence. Based on Vaughan Way in Leicester city centre, your pup will enjoy daily adventures exploring Abbey Park and the riverside. I don't do rigid routines. I follow your dog's lead and adapt to their personality - whether they're shy, bouncy, or super clever. I match their energy every step of the way. Your dog gets my full attention because I have no other pets at home. Plenty of space to run, and they are treated like royalty. Bonus: Every stay includes a free professional photoshoot. I use my professional camera to take beautiful, bright, sunny photos of your pet for you to keep forever. I'm actually out of work right now, so my schedule is completely open! I'm on this whole healthy self-betterment wave, and honestly, breaking up my day with a good dog walk would be amazing for both of us. Noon or night, I'm totally flexible and happy to fit around your pup's routine. Let's get those tails wagging! Safety is literally my number one priority. I've had three large dogs at once, including a retired police dog... so I know how to read their body language and keep them out of trouble. On walks, I stay totally focused on the dog, no phone scrolling, just me and your pup exploring Abbey Park, the riverside, or wherever they love to sniff. I keep them on a lead unless you say otherwise, and I always carry poop bags and water. Honestly, I just want them to feel safe, happy, and completely themselves while you're away.
“This was the firsts time we have used this service and the Steve and his family was excellent. Regualar updates and Luna my dog was looked after to high standard, which allowed us to enjoy wedding we was at knowing she was in safe hands many thanks again”
About: I’m a caring, trustworthy and patient pet sitter with experience caring for puppies, senior dogs and post-operative dogs who need extra attention and gentle support. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so I always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable and relaxed while in my care. I provide a calm, clean and loving home environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise and supervision throughout the day. Dogs are never left alone for long periods maximum 2-3hrs only when necessary and I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, playtime, walks and rest based on their individual routine and energy levels. I’m confident caring for energetic puppies who need patience and structure, as well as senior or recovering dogs who may require a slower pace, medication support, or extra comfort. I carefully follow all owner instructions to maintain routines and ensure pets feel settled and secure. Safety is always my top priority. Although I do not have a fully fenced yard, all outdoor time and walks are closely supervised, and dogs are always kept safely on leash when outside. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if caring for multiple dogs at once to ensure every pet feels comfortable and safe. It is really rare that I will look after multiple dogs at once as I do prefer to look after one dog so I can provide him a safe place and comfort, unless it's from the same household. I know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give owners peace of mind throughout the stay. In the event of any emergency or concern, I would contact the owner immediately and seek veterinary care if needed. I am currently undertaking a first aid course for dogs. For safety reasons, I only accept vaccinated pets into my home. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always aim to give them the love, care and attention they deserve. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to spend with the pets I look after. I understand how important routine, attention, and patience are when it comes to animal care. Each pet is unique, and I always do my best to understand their personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care. I care for pets in my home in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I live in an apartment with access to a large, secure fenced garden where dogs can enjoy supervised play and exercise off lead, but only with the owner's permission. I understand that every pet has their own routine, so I always follow the owner's instructions for feeding, walks, sleep, and any special requirements. Throughout their stay, pets receive plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and regular exercise to help them feel comfortable and at home. I'll also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they're away.
“Really amazing person . Always keeping me update about my puppy by sending me pics of him. Blaze was so happy and comfortable with him. He did a great job with blaze. I’m gonna keep my dog with him whenever I need someone to look after blaze. Thanks again”
“Aleksandra was absolutely amazing with our boy Muddles,could not fault her,I did not have to ask her for any updates as she kept us updated all the way with pictures and messages ,muddles look so happy and alert in all the photos,I would definitely book with Aleksandra again and I recommend her 100% ,once again thank you.”
“Eugene had the best time! Thoroughly spoilt and looked after so well! Both Konrad and his partner a clearly dog lovers who really know their stuff! They took on board all the little details and quirks about Eugene's behaviour and sent lots of updates, messages, photos and videos. Would highly recommend. If I could give higher than 5* I would.”
“Five stars isn't enough for Sotiria! She took care of our dog, Bandit, during the bank holiday, and she was absolutely brilliant. Professional, caring, and Bandit clearly adored her. Kept us well updated and sent lots of cute pictures as well! We're so grateful and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by them thanks to my grandma, who had seven dogs, so having dogs around has always felt like home to me ❤️ I’m now lucky enough to have two Maltipoos of my own, Layla and Mufasa. Layla came into my life after her previous family could no longer care for her, and she quickly became a very special part of my life. She later had a litter of puppies, which gave me the wonderful experience of caring for a pregnant dog and looking after her and her puppies. I ended up falling completely in love with one of her little puppies and decided I couldn’t let him go — and that’s how Mufasa came into my life! ❤️ Raising Mufasa from birth has also given me hands-on experience with puppies and all the patience, attention and care they need. My dogs are a huge part of my life, and I’d love to give your dog the same love, cuddles and care I give my own. ❤️🐶 I work from home most weekdays and have every weekend off, so I have plenty of time, love and attention to give to my little babies — and yours too! My dogs and I have a routine in the morning and after work. During the day when i’m working from home, they usually nap under my desk while I work, and I spend time playing with them during my breaks. We also have a quiet park nearby for walks and a churchyard just outside my building where they can safely have a little run around. I’d love to welcome your dog into our little routine and make them feel happy, comfortable and cared for. 🥰 I have two friendly and playful dogs who would love to keep your dog company! 🐶🐶 I also have a crate if they’re used to sleeping in one, as well as puppy pads, spare bowls, blankets, plenty of toys and treats. My dogs have free roam of my flat and are welcome on the furniture and in my bedroom, so your dog will have the same freedom to make themselves comfortable and feel at home. ❤️.
“We needed last minute boarding for our two dogs and Robert & Amy saved the day! We got plenty of pics and updates while we were away so we knew they had settled in. Very much appreciated the flexible and friendly service and would recommend.”
About: I have had cocker spaniels for many years at one point having three together. I love dogs and currently besides my own dog I foster a dog and also regularly look after family members dogs I work part time as a nurse and so am able to board for long weekends or day care on a Friday but please enquire if you are looking for something else as I may be able to accommodate I live in a house with a secure garden with a park over the road aswell for lots of walks. Your dog will have free rein of the house and treated as one of the family
“We left our dog Buddy for week with Rebecca while we spent a week in Cornwall, we got regular daily photos & updates that made us all feel Buddy was safe and in good hands, thank you Rebecca we will use you again.”
“Polly was so lovely and accommodating. Made a real effort with our dog. He wanted to stay when we went to pick him up!!! Will certainly be staying with Polly again if she’s available.”
“Kyriakos and Stella looked after my Lucky so well. Great communication throughout his stay with them. He stayed for 7 nights. Thankyou to both for making him feel comfortable, safe and entertained.”
“I can’t recommend Dipali and her husband enough! They were absolute lifesavers when our original dog sitter canceled on us last minute, just before our holiday to Morocco. Despite never having met us or Pablo before, they kindly agreed to take him in without a meet-and-greet, and at such short notice. From the moment my brother dropped Pablo off on Friday evening until we picked him up on Tuesday, Dipali and her husband provided the most loving and attentive care. They kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Pablo felt completely at home—he was so happy and comfortable that he’s actually crying the front door wanting to go back! Dipali and her husband truly have a passion for dogs, and their kindness and dedication shine through in the way they care for them. I’m beyond grateful for their help and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Pablo!xx”
“Amanda and her family looked after our Frenchie really well. I had lots of lovely updates and pictures too. He enjoyed all the cuddles. We wouldn’t hesitate to send him to stay again :)) x”

“We had a great experience with Maria taking care of our potato, Rupert. She was responsible, communicative, and very loving toward him. It was clear that Rupert felt comfortable and happy with her. Maria gave us great peace of mind while we were away, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future.”

Highly Recommended I can’t thank Evridiki enough for looking after Teddy for 8 days while we were away on holiday. ❤️ She was absolutely amazing with him and treated him with so much care, love and attention. Evridiki kept us updated regularly throughout our holiday with lovely pictures and videos, which gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy Teddy was. 🐶🥰 It was clear that Teddy was very well looked after and had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Evridiki to anyone looking for someone caring, trustworthy and reliable to look after their dog. Thank you so much, Evridiki, for taking such good care of our Teddy! ❤️🐾 We would definitely use her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
Can't recommend Pricilla enough for dog boarding! Cleo is small and shy dog, so I was really nervous. But Pricilla was amazing from day one — sent daily photos and updates which kept me sane, and Cleo actually seemed to enjoy herself. She really got Cleo's shy personality. When we picked her up she was relaxed and happy, not stressed at all, which is huge for such a nervous dog. If you need someone trustworthy for an anxious dog, go with Pricilla. We'll definitely book again!
I honestly can’t thank Konrad & Ola enough. I was so nervous booking my puppy in as he’s only small but we’d already had this holiday booked. I had updates, pictures & they treated Bruce like royalty. I don’t even think he wanted to come home. I wouldn’t use anyone else now and genuinely if you are reading this, you really should book with them. You won’t regret it. It’s so lovely to have had the privilege to use you guys. Thank you 🤍
Chang is such a lovely person and it was clear from the first meeting that she was a perfect fit for my dog Nacho. She had him for 8 nights and gave several daily updates throughout that time. I could see how happy he was and really comforted our family while we were away. She took care of him like he was her own and for this I am most appreciative. She made sure he was comfortable, happy and well cared for. Any special instructions were followed and updates given too. Thank you Chang.
Rob and hayley was amazing with my dogs, they go the extra mile, my doggies suffer with separation anxiety really bad, rob and hsyley did everything possible to my dogs at ease, comfortable and settled. Absolutely amazing family, you would get peace of mind leaving your pets here,
Holly O looked after Alfie for the weekend while I travelled for my daughter's wedding. First time Alfie has been looked after other than the family in 10 years. Holly sent photos of Alfie and kept me informed of his wellbeing, he felt at ease with Holy and she is organised and love's looking after dogs. Would I recommend Holly O definitely. Thank you Holly O, you made Alfie feel welcomed in 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 East Midlands 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 .
