“Charly was excellent with Angel. Regular photo updates with Angel out having walks in nature, playing with her dog and lovely children. Charly was also really great to communicate with and we will definitely reach out again in future. Thank you!”
“Can't thank Barabara and Frank enough for how well they looked after my dogs (Cilla and Frank) while I moved house. Cilla has some food allergies and needs medication twice a day for a thyroid problem but Barbara and Frank took it all in their stride. Barbara sent me regular updates about how they were getting on; they were humerous and always relevant to Cilla and Frank not just generic one liners. The dogs were very relaxed when I collected them so I would have no hesitation in recommending Barbara and I will definitely be asking her to look after Cilla and Frank again.”
About: Hi! My name is Lauren and (along with my partner) I absolutely love dogs 💗🐾 I've been around dogs of all breeds since I was young, and have been dogsitting for family and friends for over 10 years. I've looked after everything from Dobermans to Labradoodles! I also really enjoy pet training, and have taught many family dogs basic commands. I currently have my own lovely Dachshund, who absolutely loves the company of others doggies. 🥰 I work part time and my partner works from home, so there is almost always someone at the house! Our routine always includes some training, lots of playtime, time in the garden and walks when needed! We live next to a lovely park for nice long walks. I have a fenced, secure garden with lots of space for your furbaby to run around! I have a dog flap so they can easily come in and out of the garden without waiting for someone, but we often leave the back door open too. Dogs are allowed everywhere in our house, and we have lots of cozy beds around. We also have a crate and a metal pen, if your dog prefers a separate space for sleeping.
“This was the first time using a dog sitter and Nicola was fantastic, Noo noo my Samoyed had a great time with Nicola, I got regular updates and photos. I was able to go away and relax knowing noo noo was being well cared for, I would genuinely recommend Nicola and will be using her again.”
“Monty was very happy at Stephen’s . He ate and slept well and was mad a fuss of. He also had a great time playing with Stephen’s dog Europa . We will definitely use Stephen again .”
“Gareth looked after our 8 year GSD for 10 days, and I would thoroughly recommend him. Gareth's communication and response time were excellent, he looked after Martha beautifully and she was clearly very happy there. He sent pictures and updates throughout the time and made everything very easy, I was completely at ease leaving Martha with him.”
“Wilf boarded with Natasha for a few days. I think he fell in love with her lab. He was a very happy boy, no problems. Natasha sent me lots of lovely updates of Wilf. I would definitely use Natasha again when the need arises.”
“We boarded Cody with Chelsea for a couple of days over New Yrs Eve. She went above and beyond and did so much to make sure our dog was comfortable and happy including stick to his training. We were updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay and from the pictures, we could tell he was happy and felt safe. We would highly recommend and will definitely board Cody with her again!”
“Mark looked after my 2 dogs for 2 weeks. They had a great time plenty of love and walks. Mark kept me regularly updated with messages and videos. Mark is a true animal lover and my two dogs had a great time. Would highly recommend Mark to look after your loved pets.”
“Our two mini dachshunds Cosmo and Max had a fabulous five nights with Zoe. They enjoyed a lovely home, and a secure back garden to wander around - and regular walks on the nearby Heath. We knew instantly they would be well cared for and it was clear from the amazing photos and kind messages (sent daily) that they bonded straightaway with Zoe and her partner. Zoe provided great updates, photos and communication. The photos were amazing and plentiful of their activities during the day and in the evening. Zoe really cared for our two fur babies and we would not hesitate in recommending her services.”
“Charlotte was very welcoming to both Bertie and I. Bertie was well cared for and had lots of stimulation attention and company that Bertie absolutely loves. Giving him lots of socialisation opportunities. I was provided with updates and pictures and didn’t have to worry. Would certainly recommend.”
“Thank you Charlotte and family for looking after Buddy. He made himself right at home! He is used to plenty of exercise and lots of cuddles and playtime and he certainly received all of these! Regular updates and photos reassured us Bud was having the best time.”
“Thank you Hannah and Patrick for taking such good care of my baby Sky. She came home tired but happy and had obviously had a wonderful time 😊 thank you too for the pictures which always keep my mind at rest. I will definitely be booking with you guys again xx”
“This was Jammy's and Boo's second stay with Sean and his family. I was a bit worried about leaving Boo as he hadn't been very well but Sean was a star and gave both dogs the best care I could have hoped for. The photos that Sean sent me showed them looking relaxed and happy. I'm am very lucky to have found Sean.”
“We were so lucky to have found Mo and Kelly on Rover. Dali loved staying at their home from home with all the comforts he is used to. He got on with Spud really well. The daily pictures sent gave reassurance and brought a smile to my face to see how happy he was. Mo and Kelly will be top of our list for dog sitting when ever we need them. We have booked again for June. Superb service.”

Charly was absolutely amazing with our dachshund Cannoli. She provided us with updates, pictures and videos at least once a day, and we could tell Noli was thoroughly enjoying her time and was very comfortable! Charly was great with communication leading up to the booking making it easier for us to organise meet ups and exchange information. Cannoli will definitely be back soon 🥰
Excellent dog sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received. They were kind, caring and very attentive, and it was clear from the start that our dog was in safe and loving hands. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happy, relaxed and clearly well looked after. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We will happily use them again! 🐶❤️
Gareth looked after our 8 year GSD for 10 days, and I would thoroughly recommend him. Gareth's communication and response time were excellent, he looked after Martha beautifully and she was clearly very happy there. He sent pictures and updates throughout the time and made everything very easy, I was completely at ease leaving Martha with him.
Outstanding from Lizzie looking after my cockapoo Odin. i haven’t trusted anyone to look after Odin since I got him as a pup, so I was very apprehensive about leaving him with someone I didn’t know. After the first meeting not only did Lizzie put my mind at rest but it certainly helped knowing all of our dogs got on well when we had a meet n greet. Plenty of pics and videos of his stay whilst we were away which was great, Odin looked very happy indeed. Will definitely recommend Lizzie and will be using her services again.
Charlotte was very welcoming to both Bertie and I. Bertie was well cared for and had lots of stimulation attention and company that Bertie absolutely loves. Giving him lots of socialisation opportunities. I was provided with updates and pictures and didn’t have to worry. Would certainly recommend.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Maidstone
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Maidstone on Rover is £34.5 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 5,469 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Maidstone. 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 .
