“Excellent communicator. My pup on her return seemed em very happy and chilled out. She was clearly well looked after and we received regular updates. Would deffo recommend”
“Chris and Lene are lovely people who are great with dogs. We left our energetic rescue lurcher puppy with them for the evening and he was very happy there. It was his first time away from us and we received lots of updates and photos. I would recommend them to anyone! 🐾 thank you 🙏”
“Richard was very good with Jet , he seemed very caring and understanding and went over and above by sleeping downstairs with him as he was unsettled. We would definitely ask for his help in the future.”
“Sam & Tilly are just a lovely couple with a lovely home!! They had my dog from Monday-Friday and treated him like their own. If you need your pooch looked after, look no further. Thank you both so much, it’s greatly appreciated”

“Henry had the best time at Maria’s. He played the whole time with her dog Lorca and has come home very sleepy. They were super cute together. And maria is very lovely. It’s my first time using her and I would highly recommend her. She kept me updated with videos and always responded quickly. Thank you!”
“Garazi came to meet Buddy before we left him with her. During his stay she sent us videos and photos every day and an update of how he was settling in and where they had been on walks. I felt very happy leaving him and he had clearly been extremely well cared for over the weekend.”
“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.”
“Megan was amazing! She kept me updated on Millie regularly with photos and videos. It was clear Millie had a great time playing with Megan's two dogs (Lady and Pickle?) as she came back very happy and exhausted! I would feel completely at ease leaving Millie with Megan again - will definitely be doing so - and would highly recommend her.”
“Daphne was very welcoming and caring four our two dogs. Giving updates and pictures on walks etc, which was appreciated. The dogs looked very well on collection and I think would love to go back again when the opportunity arises.”

She clearly loves dogs and Alfie got on very well with her dog Vincent. She’s also an excellent communicator and was flexible when I needed to change drop off and pick up times. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
About: We’ve had dogs growing up and I’ve always enjoyed their company and the joy they bring to the home. My partner and me regularly look after my parents Labrador and my uncle’s Border Terrier. They are very different personalities so tailor their needs accordingly when looking after them. For example, one likes the park with other dogs where as the other is not as social so needs solo walks. We have been looking after them for the best part of 5 years as cover for holiday and other last minute commitments. My partner and myself work full time with a hybrid office pattern so have the flexibility to work from home which will allow us to care for your dog at all hours of the day. We live in a 2 bed apartment with capability to place a crate or bed in. We have access to a huge park within a 1 minute walk and a beach within 10 minutes walk to allow for plenty of walking accessibility. We would not have more than 1 dog at a time.
About: I have been looking after cats and dogs for the last 25 years. I had my own cats for nearly 20 years, one of whom was neurotic, deaf and in the early stages of dementia when he finally passed (and needed daily medication). Over the past 6 years, I have looked after dogs, cats, horses, and the occasional tortoise through trusted housesitters. But since I settled in Brighton, I have mostly been looking after friends' dogs: cockapoos, staffies, Romanian rescues and loving the company as I work on my PhD. I own my own home with a garden if you need to drop them off, and I also have my own car if I need to get to yours. I am reliable, responsible and active, meaning they will get all the walks and love they need. I work from home, with no fixed meeting times. Depending on the weather and what your dog is used to, I would take them for a walk in the morning, either up on the Downs behind my house, or to the beach, just a 10 minute walk away. We would then spend the day in my study, your dog snoozing on the guest bed or the floor, and me working on my research, with breaks for playtime in the garden and snacks, if allowed. At dinner time, we would go for another walk, either to the Downs, where we might meet up with a couple of other friends with dogs, or back to the park along the seafront. Your dog could then sleep with me on my bed, or on the floor, whatever they are used to. I have a fenced garden, and during the summer months, they can go outside whenever they want. They can go anywhere in my house, but I would only let them on the sofa/bed if that's what they are allowed to do in your home. When we go for a walk, I would not immediately let them off the lead. Still, I would work up to that, starting with short periods in a safe environment and ensuring they know I have chicken or another high-value treat, which I would reward them with every time I called them and they returned.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lewes is £35

Megan was absolutely amazing and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Sonny. We were sent numerous updates throughout Sonny’s stay, which was so reassuring. Sonny adored her two lovely doggies and came home very happy and tired! We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Sonny with Megan again and would highly recommend her. Thank you so much Megan for taking such good care of him ❤️ 🐾
Mason was so good with my 2yr cocker spaniel. She looked after him for 5nights, which was ment to be 4 but we had a personal issue that happened on the 4th night but manon was more than happy to has my dog for an extra night which helped me to not have the stress of worrying about my dog and if I could get to him. Photos was posted daily with updates and my dog loved her dog and they became best friends, Would definitely recommend.
Garazi came to meet Buddy before we left him with her. During his stay she sent us videos and photos every day and an update of how he was settling in and where they had been on walks. I felt very happy leaving him and he had clearly been extremely well cared for over the weekend.
We cannot thank Chris and Lene enough. Our Yorkshire Terrier Monty had a fantastic time at their house. They kept us updated with lots of photos throughout the week. We had a few issues with travelling home and Chris and Lene were so flexible with the pick up - it made a horrendous journey so much better!
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

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Lewes
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lewes on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,471 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Lewes. 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 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 .
