“Deirdre is so lovely. George enjoyed his stay there and was wonderfully looked after. Dee loves dogs and it shows with the relationship she had with George. She gave us plenty of feedback and photos during George’s stay which was great. George is an 11year old shih tzu who isn’t good with changes but seems to have taken it all in his stride thanks to Deirdre’s lovely ways with him. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave George, and will, with Deirdre again. Thanks Dee we are so glad we found you.”
“Zoe looked after our senior rescue dog for 5 nights. We had a meet and greet first so he could get familiar with the surroundings and Zoe was very accommodating. Alfie settled in fairly quickly and Zoe kept to his usual familiar routine, which really helped him. Zoe was attentive to his needs being an older dog and she kept me up to date with regular photos, which was lovely to receive. We will certainly rebook with Zoe in the future. Thanks Zoe ❤️ xx”
“This is the 2nd time Jasmine has stayed with Jun. She can be cautious but on arrival she didn’t look back and went straight in. Think she was very spoilt lots of photos of all her lovely walks. Very happy we were delayed on our journey home and Jun was very accommodating. Would rebook highly recommended.”
“Michelle and Jason looked after Oscar and Mabel for a week. I would not leave my dogs with anyone else. They give them so much love and care. They kept them cool during the heatwave and sent me regular pup dates. Oscar and Mabel love their holidays with Michelle and Jason.”
“Nola loved her stay with Helen. She went on lots of walks and was well looked after. Helen kept in touch all the time we were away with photos of Nola - we have already booked to reuse Helen again.”
“We left our anxious/anti-social dog with Christine for the first time over Christmas. Christine was fantastic at making him feel settled and she provided us with frequent updates. We would 100% use Christine again and had a really good experience from start to finish. Thanks Christine! xxx”
About: Up until recently, I’ve had dogs all my life and I really miss the companionship, cuddles and walks that come with having one. So I thought, why not extend the love and care to other dogs while their owners are away? 🐾❤️ I know exactly how hard it can be knowing your dog is at home waiting for you while you’re out, so I’d love to offer them a fun, enriching break in their day… whether that’s a lovely walk, some playtime, plenty of cuddles or simply some company. I’ve got plenty of experience looking after dogs belonging to friends, family and neighbours, and I’m also completing a Dog Psychology & First Aid course, so you can feel confident that your dog is in safe, caring hands. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and little snippets from their day, so you can see just how much fun they’re having! ❤️🐶 🐾 My Availability I work from home part-time with a flexible schedule, offering walks, visits and companionship. Walks & visits: • Tuesday 7:30–8:30am • Thursday 12:30–2:30pm • Friday 12:30–2:30pm Home boarding/day care: Your pup can stay with me while I work, enjoying company, cuddles and my large fenced garden. Pet sitting: Thursday/Friday 8am–5pm Weekends: Available by arrangement. Collection and drop-off can also be discussed. I offer a calm, pet-free home with a large, fully fenced garden. I live with my fiance Jack and my 3 year old daughter (sensible and dog loving). Please note my Daughter is not at home on Thursdays and Fridays- during which time I’d be happy to dog sit a for dog who is not child friendly. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my highest priority. 🐶.
“This was our first time leaving Jessie overnight and we had been worrying about how she would settle. We needn't have worried though because Emma and Ian were really knowledgeable and confident hosts and we felt at ease leaving Jessie with them. We picked up a very happy doggy today and are very much looking forward to having Jessie stay with them again soon.”
“Nicole and Matt were amazing with elvis, we were feeling anxious as it was the first time he has stayed out but they really listened to his needs and we felt totally at ease. The photo updates were great and elvis looked like he was having his own little holiday. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using them again.”
About: Dogs have been present in my family life since I was a young child . At the first opportunity we brought a dog into the home to make it complete. We introduced dogs into the home when our children were young to teach them the values of having and taking care of pets and they now have dogs of their own. I love the outdoors and walking so your dog will get all the exercise it needs and more ! I work flexibly so can be home when I need to be to take care of a pet. I have regularly house sat for family and friends and taken care of other dogs. I have an enclosed garden and live in a semi rural area so there are many opportunities for good exercise. I have no dependants so I can devote my time in full to your pet. I can also come and house sit if preferred so that your pets can maintain a routine.
“Melissa was amazing with my 2 cats they are both indoor cats and Melissa kept them safe and made sure windows and doors was closed. Updated with pictures and videos everyday. They was both nervous at first, Melissa was so patient and loving towards them that they came out of hiding. I will definitely be using Melissa again when I go away next year. She was absolutely amazing with my 2 cats I highly recommend Melissa with her caring and loving nature towards animals”
About: I’m a passionate dog lover with hands-on experience owning and caring for Labradors and Huskies. I have a genuine understanding of the needs, personalities, and energy levels of these breeds, and I really enjoy providing them with the care, exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I’m responsible, patient, and confident around dogs, and I take great pride in making sure they are happy, well cared for, and treated as part of the family. I am currently working full time and I am looking to do this in my spare time and see where this takes me. I work in the ambulance service so my shifts can vary but I do have alot of weekends off and some weekdays. I have a fenced garden and 1 dog currently at my property, who is a husky and has alot of excitable energy about her who would be more then happy to have another dog to play with
About: Hi, I’m Kirsty – a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet parent offering a safe, loving home for your dog while you’re away! I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have been a proud dog mum for the past 7 years. I understand how important it is to know your pup is happy, secure, and well-loved while you’re apart – and that’s exactly what I offer. I live in a dog-friendly home with a large, secure garden where dogs can safely play and explore. I also share my home with my playful and friendly 2-year-old female dog Daphne, who loves making new friends. Whether your pup enjoys a game of chase, lounging in the sun, or just some quiet companionship, we’re here to make them feel at home. As a teacher I will be off work during school holidays. During this time I’m home full-time—so your dog will have lots of company, attention, and care throughout the day. Our day typically includes morning walks, garden playtime, rest breaks, enrichment games, and lots of cuddles. I keep feeding times and routines consistent with what your dog is used to, and I’m happy to accommodate any special needs or preferences. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I offer a secure, dog-friendly environment with a fully enclosed garden for safe outdoor play. Dogs are never left unattended outside, and I supervise all play to ensure everyone gets along happily. Inside, dogs have free access to cozy, clean spaces and are treated like part of the family. I follow your dog’s usual routine—whether that’s crate use, feeding schedule, medication, or preferred sleeping arrangements—to help them feel settled and secure. With 7+ years of experience caring for dogs, and a friendly resident pup to keep them company, I provide a calm, structured, and loving home-from-home where your dog will be safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
About: I’m a genuine dog lover and a caring, responsible dog sitter based in Cannock. I love giving dogs lots of attention, cuddles and care. I also opened my own home-based dog grooming salon, Nara’s Dog Grooming, where I provide gentle and professional grooming services. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel safe, relaxed and at home. Your furry family member will be treated with the same kindness, respect, patience and care that I would want for my own dog. I’d be delighted to welcome your dog into my home!❤️ I am lucky enough to be at home for most of the day and can give your dog plenty of company, attention and care. I’m also fortunate to have Cannock Chase right on my doorstep, so I enjoy going for walks almost every morning. Your dog can join me for lovely walks I do every day twice and plenty of fresh air, depending on their age, fitness and individual needs. At home, I have a secure garden where dogs can enjoy some playtime or have quick toilet breaks whenever needed. Your dog will stay in my home and become part of our daily routine. If your dog is crate-trained and feels comfortable in a crate, they are welcome to use one. Otherwise, there are soft, clean beds downstairs or they can sleep near my bed at night — whatever makes them feel safest and most comfortable. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, rest and any special requirements. My aim is for your dog to feel relaxed, safe and at home while you’re away. I have a lovely cat called Pepper, who is almost 10 years old. He is very relaxed and is used to having dogs around the house. Pepper is quite independent and spends much of his time relaxing on my bed. He also has a cat flap, so he can come and go outside whenever he chooses. For Pepper’s safety and comfort, I can only accept dogs who are calm and friendly around cats and do not show aggressive or predatory behaviour towards them. I’m happy to discuss your dog’s experience with cats before booking, so I can make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable.

Becky and her family were amazing with my miniature dachshund Hank who she looked after for a full day and overnight stay. Becky was happy to accommodate Hank’s needs, despite his slightly diva ish and demanding ways! Hank has tried other sitters and not always settled so this is testament to Becky’s approach, fully embracing Hank as part of the family. Thank you so much for taking such lovely care of our boy.
Chelsea was fantastic when looking after our Greyhound Bodhi. We went away for a night and Chelsea stayed in our home with the dog. Her communication was excellent throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and she did a great job looking after our dog, who is fairly new to the family. Regular updates shared and Bodhi barely noticed we'd gone. Thank you!
Phil and Archie took great care of my dachshund dash whilst I was away for the weekend . Speedy responses when communicating and always keeping me updated on how dash was doing during his stay. Do not hesitate when thinking of booking Phil and Archie as these two kept dash busy all weekend showing him love and care throughout his stay and taking him out on long walks and keeping him stimulated. I can’t thank them both enough for the love and care they gave dash and looking after him like he’s there own.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 1,500 sitters in Lichfield, 72% 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.

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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
