“Max came home relaxed and tired. Deirdre was lovely with Max, took him on 2 walks, and sent me updates with photos. Really glad to know that Max gets along very well with Sid. I’d definitely love for her to look after him again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and have always had dogs as part of my family, so I understand how important they are and how much love, care and attention they need. I’ve also helped my daughter with her dog-sitting business and bookings, giving me hands-on experience caring for different dogs and understanding their individual routines and needs. I’m a caring, patient and responsible person who genuinely enjoys being around dogs. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and at home while they’re in my care, with plenty of love, attention and cuddles along the way! 🐾❤️ I’m at home full-time and have a very flexible schedule, so your dog will have plenty of company, care and attention throughout the day. I’m available to fit around your dog’s individual routine, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding times, cuddles or simply having someone around for reassurance. Because I’m home most of the time, I can provide a calm and loving environment where your dog won’t be left alone for long periods. I’m happy to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and settled while they’re staying with me. 🐾❤️ Your dog will be welcomed into a spacious, comfortable home where they can relax and feel part of the family. I have a large, fully fenced back garden, giving dogs plenty of safe space to enjoy some fresh air, play and explore. I’ll make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, affection and care throughout their stay, while following their usual routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to provide regular toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles and lots of company. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, settled and at home, with plenty of space both inside and outside to enjoy. 🐾❤️
“Luca had the best time with Thomas. Plenty of walks and lots of picture updates. Luca came out both days very happy and happily went with Thomas straight away both days, especially the second day, he ran towards him and didn’t even look back! Will definitely be rebooking with Thomas!”
“Coco enjoyed her stay with Shuang. She seemed comfortable and relaxed in her home and got taken for a couple of walks throughout the day. We got regular updates and Shuang was very flexible on our collection time (we were running a bit late). We would definitely book for Coco to stay again :)”
About: Hi, I’m Penny. I’m an animal lover and I'm here to treat your pets like my own; I hope to be your pets' safe and happy place when you're busy with other responsibilities/obligations in life! I have great experience in pet sitting for both cats and dogs. In recent years, I've also started courses on professional pet grooming. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your pet isn’t great with children. I’ve got my own home with a fenced garden that would be suitable for small or large sized pets to have a run around. I’m looking for furry friends who would enjoy going on walks with me and/or have playdates and snuggles at home aswell. I’m based in Lichfield and usually available on weekday evenings, weekends daytime & evenings, and for holidays. I offer a free initial 'Meet & Greet' (up to 30 mins) for all of my services so we can get to know each other better and discuss together how I can better take care of your furry friend(s). For home visits and/or dog walking, I am usually available on weekday evenings and weekends daytime & evenings. I'm an active individual so happy to go on longer walks and/or runs for the furry friends who needs more exercising. For day care or boarding, i work from home so I can be at home most of the time throughout the week, ensuring your furry friend(s) are never left alone for any extended periods of time and given the company they deserve. I'm based in Lichfield and live in a house of my own. I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your pet isn’t great with children.

“Helen and Kevin are a lovely couple who looked after our excitable red fox Labrador puppy with confidence, kindness and patience. She returned home a happy and contented little puppy. Many thanks to you both”
“Kirsty was great looking after our dog Kevin. She was really welcoming and communicative with us. Kevin has a few extra needs which she was really understanding of and accommodating for. We will be using Kirsty to look after him again!”
“Hannah was so accommodating and friendly, we were happy with her care and flexibility, our red Labrador was settled and unstressed on return. Thanks very much and happy to use her again.”
“Thank you so much to Sharlene and her partner for taking care of our princess and treating her like one of the family. Kyra appeared to have the best time and certainly enjoyed some playtime with one of thier own pooches. Will certainly be using again xx”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets in the household and I’m now lucky enough to be the proud owner of Betty, my 2 year old Cocker Spaniel and Coba my 6 year old male Bengal. Both are great with other animals as they’ve grown up around them. I believe pets should be treated as part of the family so I will look after them like they’re my own and am happy for them to cuddle up on the sofa with me. I also live near fields and woodlands which is great for dog walks. I am currently on maternity leave, meaning I am at home full time so can be very flexible with bookings and am available evenings and weekends. I have a fenced garden and two friendly pets of my own for your fur baby to play/cuddle up with. I also live walking distance from parks, fields and woodlands that are great for dog walks. I live in a 3 bedroom house so plenty of room for boarding and doggy day care and I have a spare crate that can be used if needed as my own puppy is crate trained.
“I felt totally confident leaving my nervous dog, Honey with Jas. I was working in the area and needed doggy day care. Would definitely recommend as absolutely worth the five stars”
About: I’m a proud and loving dog mom to a Cockapoo and have hands on experience with both Cockapoos and Cocker Spaniels, especially working dogs. Over the years, I’ve raised multiple puppies from their earliest stages, so I understand the patience, consistency, and extra attention they need to grow into happy, well adjusted dogs. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs, providing the gentleness, patience and a routine they rely on. My personal experience as a lifelong dog lover and caretaker means I treat every pup like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, whether we’re on a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together. Because I work from home five days a week, I have plenty of flexibility and time to give pets the attention they need throughout the day. I already take myself out for two walks daily, so it’s easy to bring a dog along for fresh air, exercise, and a change of scenery. This routine means I can offer regular toilet breaks, playtime, and cuddles :) I have a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for playtime and fresh air, and I can easily accommodate crates if your dog is more comfortable with their own space or routine. I also share my home part time with my own Cockapoo - Alfie, who is super friendly and well socialised. He’s with me about 2 out of 4 weeks a month, and he loves having a playmate around. When he’s here, I make sure all introductions are done slowly and safely so everyone feels at ease.
“Thank you both for looking after Oatmeal! I messaged last minute and they accepted my booking without any hassle. They gave me updates, with videos and photos, and I could tell that Oat felt at home with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Matt again in the future!”

Luca had the best time with Thomas. Plenty of walks and lots of picture updates. Luca came out both days very happy and happily went with Thomas straight away both days, especially the second day, he ran towards him and didn’t even look back! Will definitely be rebooking with Thomas!
This was the first time we had ever left Molly with anyone, so we were a little hesitant about it. There was no need to be, Claudia was superb. We had already had a pre meeting with her and from then she put our minds at ease. On the day, she sent us messages and pictures of Molly to show how she was getting on. Claudia is a lovely girl and is experienced in looking after dogs and dedicated in doing so. If ever we need a dog minder in the future, we would not hesitate in choosing Claudia.
Evie looked after my dog for the day at very short notice and was incredibly flexible which I really appreciated. She put me completely at ease when I dropped my dog off and it was lovely to receive photos throughout the day. I was very happy with the care she provided and would definitely use Evie again. Highly recommended!
Coco enjoyed her stay with Shuang. She seemed comfortable and relaxed in her home and got taken for a couple of walks throughout the day. We got regular updates and Shuang was very flexible on our collection time (we were running a bit late). We would definitely book for Coco to stay again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Lichfield on Rover is £23 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £17 and £34 per day.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalised environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-to-one attention, and same-day collection and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose 'can host' section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socialising needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters 'Doesn't own a dog' and 'Only accepts one pet at a time' to find the right care.
Many sitters on Rover can help with collection and drop-off! You can find the cost of collection and drop-off in their profile under 'See additional rates'.
If you found a day care close to your home in Lichfield, you can also explore dog walking as an add-on service, which allows your sitter to collect or drop off your dog from their home to yours. Add your location to the search field to find sitters near you and message them directly about transport alternatives.
Day care on Rover takes place in the sitter’s home rather than at a commercial day care facility. At a sitter’s home, your dog’s care is arranged directly with an individual sitter. Depending on the sitter, the day may include walks, play, companionship, rest and care based on the routine you agree on together.
Day care facilities generally care for dogs in a commercial space. Their staffing, dog-grouping practices and available spaces will vary by facility.
Neither option is better than the other. Your dog’s unique needs will determine whether they thrive in a home or facility-based setting.
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 .
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.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
