“Mila was a great sitter for Scout. She kept in touch regularly with photos and updates. She let us know quickly about a diet issue and made good suggestions for Scouts welfare. She and her family were very reassuring in messages, a meet and greet and a trial walk in advance of a 2 week stay. We were nervous from a past bad experience from another sitting service but Mila set our minds at rest. we are very happy with Scout’s care from Mila. We would definitely recommend her and would hope Scout could stay again in future.”
“Sarah is the best! Our Ernie is always taken on the loveliest walks and has the best time. We love the photo updates and are always fully confident he is in safe hands. Thank you Sarah”
“Chris and Lene were amazing and we would not hesitate to recommend them. We met them and their dog Rio for a walk before the booking to check the dogs got on, which they did. Chris sent regular updates and photos while we were away which was great. Our dog Georgie was relaxed and looked after very well while with them, with nice walks and lots of treats. Chris and Lene were genuinely caring about Georgie, which is the most important thing! Their bungalow and garden were comfortable and perfect for our older dog. Thank you Chris and Lene!”
“I can’t recommend Talabi more highly, Monty had such a lovely time during his stay with Talabi, he was happy as a happy thing. We received pics and videos every day, Talabi was patient and spent time training Monty, she is absolutely fabulous and clearly a dog lover. I will not hesitate to use Talabi again in future, in fact, Monty is looking forward to his next visit. Thanks so much for taking such wonderful care of him.”
“We are so grateful to Courtney and Dan for taking such wonderful care of Stella. She has some special requirements and we felt that she was in great hands. They kept us updated regularly, which gave us peace of mind throughout. It’s clear they love dogs and went above and beyond to ensure Stella was comfortable and happy. Thanks guys!”
“Katty looked after our spaniel for a week. Very reassuring to leave our doggy in her capable hands. She is lovely, a great communicator and really accommodating. Thanks Katty - your help is much appreciated. Would recommend and use again!”
“Sarah was great with our Maltipoo. He has come back full of energy and happy so has been well looked after and cared for. It felt like he was welcomed as part of the family.”
“Emma was great and my dog, Pies, clearly enjoyed his stay with her and her husband. They have a nice big garden that Pies loved, and a big green space nearby for walks and plays with other dogs. I’d highly recommend!”
“Daphne was a fantastic pet sitter for Bluey. She had him over night whilst we went out to a festival in town. She took him for a walk each day and looked after his every need. Bluey was sad to go in the end when we picked him up. We would not hesitate to leave Bluey with Daphne again anytime he was super looked after. Thank you. Wayne, Dee and Bluey”
“Megan took care of my 2 labs while I was away and she and her brother were incredible! Lots of messages with pictures and videos to keep me reassured that they were safe and happy. Would highly recommend Megan and would leave the dogs with her again in the future without hesitation. Thanks so much, Megan!”
“Trevor is a typical terrier with a big attitude and strong opinions and as a result can be a bit tricky so I’m very careful about who I leave him with. Michelle followed my guidance to the letter, stuck to his routines and it sounds like they both had a wonderful time as a result. She provided daily updates dates with photos. I wouldn’t hesitate to book boarding for Trevor with Michelle again, she genuinely cares and wants to do the best for your dog.”
“Tilly and her partner.were so good with Lola. and we could see how settled she was. We would definitely leave Lola with them again.Hopefully in the near future. From a very grateful Leigh and Tina Cottis.”
About: Hi, I'm Santa! I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both dogs and cats. For the past two years I've been raising and training my own dog, Link, who has taught me so much about patience, consistency and understanding different dog personalities. I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra patience, including those who can become overexcited or easily distracted on walks. This has taught me to read canine body language, stay calm under pressure, and tailor my approach to each dog's individual needs. Before getting Link, I volunteered through BorrowMyDoggy, where I regularly walked a lovely Staffordshire Bull Terrier for around a year, as well as spending time with several other dogs. It gave me experience with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels while helping owners who needed an extra hand. Whether your dog loves long adventures, relaxed sniffy walks or simply wants company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive plenty of care, attention and affection. I'll always treat your dog as if they were my own and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know they're happy and in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged best friend! Caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine. I walk my own dog every day and make time for training, enrichment and play, so looking after other dogs fits naturally into my schedule. I work shifts, which means I often have flexibility on different days of the week, allowing me to offer walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting around my working hours. When I'm caring for your pet, they'll receive the same attention, patience and care that I give my own dog. If your dog stays in my home, they'll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment and treated like part of the family. I'll only accept dogs that I know are a good match for my home and my own dog, ensuring everyone's safety and wellbeing comes first. I have a big fenced garden and I live in a small and quiet village with beautiful and safe walks right on my doorstep. My cottage is small but the outside offers so much more. When im walking your dog, I'll always use the equipment you provide (unless we agree otherwise), keep dogs on lead where required, and avoid situations that may cause unnecessary stress. I'll make sure they have fresh water and plenty of exercise.
“Joely is wonderful, she stayed up with doggo whilst she settled on the first night. She sent photo updates of doggo having a blast and snuggles in silly ways. Doggo is chilled where she has obviously come back from her own relaxing holiday. Can't recommend Joely enough! Thank you Joely, you're a wonderful and caring human. Thank you for sharing your home with our fluffy family member.”
“Garry loved staying with Michaela and Simon’s family. They were absolutely great with him, and I was feeling totally calm leaving him there. I received daily updates on Garry (photos and videos), who was regularly fed, walked and who enjoyed playing with Scout (who is absolutely adorable) and listening to the birds in the family’s garden.”
“Garazi was amazing with Ruby. Our little Cockapoo had a holiday with her for 3 full days and was excellently looked after. Lots of updates and our pup even managed to sneak into bed for cuddles. If we are ever needing assistance in that area Garazi will be too if the list.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lewes is £35

Our golden doodle Iggy had the most wonderful of weeks staying with Chris and Lene. From start to finish all was fantastic. Chris kept us up to date with how Iggy was doing and it was obvious that Iggy was having the best time whilst we were away. Thanks so much - you are both brilliant and Iggy will look forward to seeing you again.
Jane and Reggie took great care of my dog who came back home happy and healthy. They looked after him during a heatwave and did an amazing job of keeping him comfy whilst still having local woodland walks and playtime. Provided lots pics too, and I would be v. happy to leave my dog in their care again. Would highly recommend. Many thanks
I highly recommend Abby! She takes care of my dog with incredible professionalism and attentiveness. From the very first meeting, she took the time to understand my dog’s habits, preferences, and needs, making sure every detail was handled perfectly. She sends daily photos and detailed updates, so I always know how my dog is doing, which gives me complete peace of mind. My dog is clearly very happy under her care, and it’s obvious that Abby has a genuine love and patience for animals. Whether it’s meals, activities, or emotional care, she handles everything with great attention and warmth. Meeting someone as professional, reliable, and caring as Abby has been such a blessing. I wholeheartedly recommend Abby—she will make both you and your furry friend extremely happy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lewes on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 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 South East 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 .
