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.

India came to the rescue last minute and was excellent with Stella. Stella settled super quickly in her flat and I received plenty of updates throughout the day. I could tell Stella was in great hands -we'll definitely come back to India again!

Couldnt have felt safer leaving Eleven with Matilde. Matilde was amazing with Eleven, I dropped Eleven off and she took to Matilde instantly, she is a very kind and gentle person, caring, attentive and welcoming, Eleven had an amazing time, I got plenty of photos and updates throughout the day, Eleven had lovely long walks, nice chilled time and plenty of fusses, I would highly recommend Matilde, id not leave my dog with anyone else, I was running late to pick Eleven up, Matilde was kind and happy to keep Eleven until we got there, I was 45 minutes late and I only had kindness and understanding from Matilde. Any dog would be safe and cared for with Matilde.

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.

About: I live with dogs since I was a little baby. I had many dogs during my life and they were my best friends. I am from Brazil and there I have 5 dogs. They make me very happy all that time, so take care and walk with dogs isn't even considered a job to me, because I love to do this! But now I am living in London without them and I looking for some way to hang out with these lovely babys as I used to do in Brazil and I miss it so much. I have a flexible schedule during the week, as I run my own business and can set my hours. I’m available throughout the day on weekdays for walks, check-ins, or playtime. Weekends are a bit busier for me, but I’m still flexible and happy to find a time that works for you and your pup. I don’t offer pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their familiar environment. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, always making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, feeding, playtime, or simply giving them company, I follow the pet owner's instructions closely and treat each animal with kindness and respect—just like I would with my own dog

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: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life, from hamsters and cats to dogs. I began walking and looking after my neighbours’ dogs as a teenager, and since I was 17, I’ve raised my own Corgi, Guffy, who lives with me and my partner. I take her to the dog park daily because I believe dogs deserve plenty of exercise, play and enrichment, not just a quick walk around the block. I also work closely with an experienced professional dog walker who has cared for dogs across London for many years and continues to guide me. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes: I’m strong and comfortable with larger breeds, while smaller dogs are always great fun. I’ve also successfully trained Guffy to live happily alongside my recently passed cat Bessy, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I'm work as a freelance architect/designer from home so I have all the time in the world to organize my day and take the dog for a walk 2-3 times a day with always a big walk at the dog park daily for socializing with other doggies. I provide a calm, clean and secure home where dogs are treated as part of the family. My apartment complex is dog-friendly, and the apartment is spacious and air-conditioned to keep pets comfortable during warmer weather. There is also a secure glass-fronted balcony where dogs can enjoy fresh air and watch the neighbourhood while supervised. As I work from home, I can monitor them closely, respond quickly to their needs and maintain the consistent routine that is so important for their well-being. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise and daily habits, while providing fresh water, regular toilet breaks and a comfortable place to rest. Dogs are introduced gradually to my own dog to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed. Walks and activities are adapted to each dog’s age, health, energy level and temperament, with daily park visits to support exercise, socialisation and mental enrichment.

About: With over 15 years of loving and caring for pets as my own, I'm more than just a pet sitter – I'm a trusted companion. Whether your pet needs daily walks, overnight stays, or special attention, I'll treat them like family. I understand the unique needs of each animal and provide a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. Let's make your pet's stay with me a memorable and enjoyable experience. Recently moved to a new area and new to Rover! I work from home most of the time and can easily fit morning long walks and short brakes when needed as well as playing during the day I live in the apartment with 2 gardens around for walks or a big Regents park for an extended walk. Cuddles on the sofa and bed are allowed and encouraged.

About: Hey there! I'm Antonela, a lifelong dog lover who just can't get enough of these furry companions. I've been lucky enough to raise Micky since I was a baby, and I've also had the pleasure of watching Mosher and Wilson grow from adorable puppies into amazing dogs. Right now, I'm the proud owner of Barton, a German Shepherd who never fails to make me smile. Even though I miss having my own dogs around since moving to the UK, living and working in West London has given me the chance to connect with other dog owners and offer my services. Spending time with pups is something I genuinely enjoy, and it's so rewarding to see them happy and healthy. If you need someone to take your furry friend for a walk, feed them, or just keep them company while you're away, I'm here to help. I know how important trust and reliability are when it comes to caring for your pets, and I promise to treat your dogs with the same love and attention that I give my own. So if you're looking for a caring, dependable person to take care of your pups, I'd be thrilled to be your go-to gal. I can't wait to meet you and your adorable dogs and give them all the attention and affection they deserve! Antonela I use a hybrid working model, which means I spend most of the week at home. As a result, I can offer pet-sitting services while I'm there, and I'm extremely flexible on weekends. I currently reside with my partner and we do not have any children or other pets. This allows me to dedicate my time and attention to taking care of one dog at a time. The location of Kensington Gardens is conveniently close by and I am able to take the furry friend for a walk up to four times a day.

I can’t recommend Sophia enough! Our usual dog care hasn’t been available so I really wanted to find someone for Ollie that I could trust. Ollie can be a bit nervous but Sophia approached him super positively, and he went happily on his way! I had all the trust that he would be okay. We got updates during the day and pick up was so smooth. I could tell whether intentionally or not, some leash training was done and he was wrecked when he got home! So certainly got all his steps in. Will definitely be booking Sophia again ❤️

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 September 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 16,949 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in London. About 87% 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.
