About: I’ve taken care of many dogs while growing up. I used to take in homeless pets and take care of them. I also had my own pets, 2 dogs with puppies and one cat Milo which unfortunately not longer have :( I also had a rabbit and a parrot for 10 years. I have pet sit for my friends and neighbours and received good reviews. Now I am doing Petsitting when I have free time and have clients in the area that will provide good references. I have a very flexible work shift pattern, sometimes being off for 4 days straight. This allows me to be very flexible with my availability for pet sitting. I live in a spacious 2 bedroom flat on the second floor in a quiet residential area. The space is suitable for only 1 pet to ensure I provide the best care.

About: I've spent the past three years caring for all kinds of pets, from energetic puppies to laid-back senior cats, and it's been a truly rewarding journey. Whether it's pet sitting or dog walking, I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and needs. I've become pretty skilled at recognizing what makes them happy and comfortable, whether that's a game of fetch, a leisurely stroll, or just some good belly rubs. One of the best parts of this job is the bonds I build with both the pets and their owners. It's a great feeling knowing that pets are excited to see me and that their owners have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every pet I look after. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family, I'm here to help! Mornings start with cheerful greetings and energetic walks, setting a positive tone for the day. Throughout the day, I ensure pets receive timely meals, play sessions, and plenty of affection, all tailored to their unique personalities. Evenings are dedicated to winding down together, whether it's cuddling up indoors or enjoying a leisurely stroll before bedtime. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets in their own homes. I take extra care to ensure that their environment is secure and comfortable. This includes double-checking that doors and gates are properly closed and secure before any outdoor activities. Inside, I'm vigilant about removing any potential hazards like small objects or toxic plants that pets could accidentally ingest. I also maintain a routine of careful supervision during playtime and ensure that any medications or special instructions from pet owners are followed to the letter. By maintaining a safe and loving environment, I aim to provide peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their beloved companions are in good hands.

Max has looked after Mabel each Wednesday for the last 4 weeks and hopefully many more 😊. She is always happy to see Max and he patiently puts up with her barky arrivals! It sounds like she settles very well and makes herself straight at home! It works perfectly for me as my office is an easy walk from dropping her off. Would definitely recommend 💯

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 2 years. From daily walks and feeding to playtime and cuddles, I’ve gained hands-on experience in providing consistent, loving care. Living right next to a park means dogs in my care enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and fun every day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, especially as I work from home. I plan my day around walks, feeding times, and quality time with the dogs in my care. Living right next to a park makes it easy to include regular outdoor exercise and fresh air. Being home most of the day means pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and clean home environment where pets can feel relaxed and at ease. I always follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, walking, and any specific instructions. Living next to a park allows for safe, regular walks, and I ensure dogs are always supervised, whether at home or outside. As I work from home, pets are never left alone for long and receive constant care and attention.

About: I was a dedicated dog owner for several years and gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and administering routine care. Looking after my own dog taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine, as I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate pets’ individual needs, including feeding times, walks, play sessions, companionship, and any special care requirements. I am available throughout the week and can adjust my routine to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. I live in a clean, secure flat that is suitable for caring for pets. I make sure pets have constant access to fresh water, regular feeding according to their routine, daily exercise and playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. I maintain a safe environment by keeping hazardous items out of reach and ensuring doors and windows are secure. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their instructions closely regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and household routines to help pets feel comfortable and maintain consistency while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: Hi, i’m an artist and part time yoga teacher, I work from my studio at home. I love animals, something I discovered about myself eighteen years ago, whilst living on an idyllic holiday resort on the Greek islands. It was there I found an abandoned helpless puppy, thrown into a trashcan on the sidewalk. I didn't know it then but this was to be a defining moment and would change my life forever. The love from an animal is always unconditional and has filled me with joy!!! I’d never experienced this kind of love, what a blessing! Some years later we returned to the UK together. He lived a full and happy life and when some, three or so years ago, we lost him to cancer, I was totally crushed. I’ve since adopted a Greek rescue and he`s adorable. I love all dogs and cats alike. I make it my primary focus to give them long walks, the best of nature`s lush and green. At least an hour plus in the mornings and again in the evenings, I'm a firm believer that getting a dog outdoors for plenty of fresh air and meandering walks, makes for a more happy and contented dog. These walks in nature have helped me too. I never walk less than an hour. And I tend to gravitate to more remote areas. I've grown accustomed to the great outdoors my days wouldn't be complete without this lush of green open oasis. I’m around Totteridge and Whetstone area, so lots of interesting walks to be had. I tend to go to Whetstone stray fields, Dorlands nature reserve, Totteridge fields reserve and Brook farm, alternating between these areas to make it interesting for your dog. I’m available for walks in the morning or evening. This is an area full of woodland, pretty meadows, lakes and open fields. These style walks offer your pets everything they need, foraging sniffing and chasing/playing, both soothing and invigorating for all dogs of all breeds and ages. I administer medication on a daily basis for my pet dog as we manage a condition he has called Leishmania. I am flexible/responsible and accommodating to all the needs of pet care. I can tailor the walks to suit your pet/pets. It’s important to me he/she is comfortable and relaxed around me or other dogs. I will only ever have 3 dogs on any walk. And this reflects my fee. I consult with the owners as to their personal preferences. But on the first few walks I prefer to keep dogs on leads just until we build a bond. I like to inquire from the pet owner on specific dietary needs and how frequent the walks should be. I like to be informed on everything before I take on any job.

About: Why choose me? 🐾 Grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses and farm animals. 🦮 Comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. 📍 Based in Pimlico (SW1) and happy to travel across Westminster, Victoria, Belgravia, Chelsea and nearby areas. 🕒 Flexible availability during weekdays, evenings and weekends. 📸 Regular photo and message updates, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. 🏡 Happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting and overnight care. I've been around animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Suffolk, I was fortunate to be surrounded by dogs, cats, horses and farm animals, which gave me a genuine love and understanding of animals from a young age. Dogs have always been a big part of my life. My family currently has three Labrador Retrievers, including a certified therapy dog and a young puppy, so I'm familiar with caring for dogs of all ages, personalities and energy levels. During the four years I've lived in Pimlico, I also cared for our much-loved West Highland Terrier, Nelson, giving me experience supporting a dog through his senior years. I recently returned from three months of travelling, with Costa Rica being my favourite destination thanks to its incredible wildlife and natural environment. Spending time around animals has always been something I've loved, whether exploring nature or caring for family pets. I'm based in Pimlico (SW1V) and am currently searching for my next full-time role, which means I have excellent daytime availability and a flexible schedule for dog walks, drop-in visits and overnight care throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I'm also happy to travel across Pimlico, Victoria, Belgravia, Chelsea and the surrounding areas to care for your pets. I know every pet is unique, and I'll treat yours with the same patience, kindness and attention that I give my own family's animals. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. I'm currently searching for my next full-time role, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. This means I can accommodate morning, lunchtime and evening visits, as well as longer walks and overnight stays. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I can build my day around ensuring each pet gets the time, attention and routine they need. My schedule is also flexible at weekends, so I'm happy to help with both regular and last-minute bookings where possible. Your pet's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I'll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime and any specific instructions you provide, to help them feel comfortable and settled. At home, we have a secure, fully enclosed walled garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time. Our downstairs is open plan, giving pets plenty of space to relax while remaining part of the household. We love animals and provide a calm, caring environment where they'll be treated as one of the family. We also have a friendly family cat who comes and goes as she pleases, so I'll always make sure any boarding dogs are comfortable around cats before accepting a booking. When caring for pets in your home, I'll respect both your pet's routine and your home as if they were my own. I'll provide regular updates and photos, and I'm happy to bring in post, water plants or carry out other small tasks while you're away.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - London

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in London on Rover is £31.05 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 16,794 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in London. About 86% of London sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your London commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:

  • Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
  • Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
  • Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
  • Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
  • Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.

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 Greater London 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.

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.

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 .

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

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.

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 .
