“Mike was amazing and Toff loved his stay. Mike sent updates over the weekend on how Toff was, the walks they went on or even them both chilling on the sofa. Really reassured us when away and full peace of mind. Couldn't fault at all and will definitely rebook Mike.”
About: I understand that caring for animals means exercise and interaction, as well as a feeling of security. I can promise all three at my Maidstone home. I have a hybrid role, meaning I'm typically at home three days a week. My wife works part-time hours and returns home around 2pm each day. We have two sons, one is away at uni, the other is going into Year 11. However, the only people in my home who will be caring for animal visitors will be myself with assistance from my wife Dorota. We have a fenced garden and a number of lovely walks near Tovil, just a few minutes from our doorstep. I have transport too so can visit your home to check/feed/walk your cat or dog.
“Charlotte and Ben did a fantastic job of looking after our dog with the help of their lovely 3 children. They treated her like one of the family and we had lots of updates and photos to keep us in the loop of her activities during her stay. We will be back thank you. ?”
About: I've been around dogs for over 15 years and have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they're away. I understand how important it is to keep dogs safe, happy, and comfortable, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I'm patient, reliable, and always happy to follow your dog's routine, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and individual attention. Regular photo updates and communication come as standard, so you can have complete peace of mind while your dog is in my care. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I can accommodate regular walks, drop in visits, daycare, and boarding with plenty of time for exercise, play, and companionship. I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages while your pet is in my care. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where every pet is treated like family. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special requirements. Whether in my home or yours, I'll ensure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and care, while keeping you updated for complete peace of mind.
“Bella had a fabulous time with Gary and his partner Anita.during her stay. Bella was taken for very long walks by Gary, which being a highly energetic Patterdale , was perfect as she absolutely loves her walks! Gary kept me updated everyday with how Bella was and sent me photos with updates, which kept me completely reassured that she was ok and was having great fun! She loved playing with lots of toys and also received lots of cuddles, which she loved and Gary & Anita treated her as if she was part of the family and she really loved being there with them both. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gary and will definitely be booking Bella in to stay there again in the future!”
“Toots was made very welcome. It was incredibly hot in the UK and she was kept cool and happy. Visited the beach too! Charly kept us updated regularly which gave us full peace of mind that all was well. Couldn’t wish for a better arrangement.”
“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.”
“Lily was exhausted from.having fun with the other doggies and obviously had a great time. Thanks Megan for looking after her so well and the daily pics and updates. See you again soon!”
“Stuart looked after "Milo", my Springer spaniel, for three nights. I would highly recommend Stuart, very flexable, provided loads of great walks for Milo and sent regular updates and photos. Would happily book with him 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.
“We couldn't be more thrilled with the care Sean provided for our Vizsla, Coco. From the moment we dropped her off, Shaun was professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about dogs. Throughout Coco's stay, Sean kept us updated with numerous pictures and messages, which reassured us that she was in great hands. It was wonderful to see Coco having such a good time, and it truly made our time away from her much more enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend Sean to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. His dedication and love for dogs are evident in every interaction, and we will definitely be using his services again in the future. Thank you, Sean, for taking such fantastic care of Coco!”
“Lisa was absolutely wonderful with my senior Staffie, Honey. From the start, she was patient, gentle, and clearly experienced with older dogs and their unique needs. Throughout the stay, Lisa kept me updated and made sure Honey was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lisa to anyone, especially those with senior dogs who need a little extra care and compassion.”

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.
Milo had a great stay with Barbara. It was his first time, staying for 2 days - he went in happily and was ready waiting to be picked up, still in a happy mood. I messaged Barbara to see how he was, and she responded quickly, then messaged the following morning to say Milo had had a good night and was off on a walk. Thanks for a smooth booking - I would certainly use Barbara again.
Lisa was brilliant from the get go. Iv never left any of my dogs with anyone before especially someone I dont know so I was understandably a bit nervous about doing so! Our puppy being only 18 weeks old too! But lisa came highly recommended, glad i gave her a chance because she was great! Communicated and kept us up to date everyday with messages and photos, and she followed our boys routine with ease. He was more than happy around both lisa and her partner upon picking him back up so he obviously enjoyed his week with them too 🥰 glad to have found such a lovely lady that I know will take care of my boy as if he was her own. Will 100% be using her again ❤️
Charly has been great with our two boys from start to finish. I quickly knew she would welcome them both into her home with open arms. She made sure to let me know by way of texts/videos and pictures every day that they were doing well and had integrated well with her family and dog Blue. I can’t recommend Charly enough and will definitely be bringing the boys back again for another holiday.
Michael has looked after our 18 month old staffy and she had a brilliant time. Michael took time to get to know her and her routines and then took her on some lovely walks around the local area. He shared lots of updates as well as a tracking beacon so we could stay up to date. She loved her stay. Would highly recommend
Lauren looked after my dog for a whole week, and after an initial meet and greet it was obvious that she would take great care of our dog. She regularly updated us with photos and news of how our dog was doing, and was a real pleasure to deal and communicate with. I'd definitely recommend Lauren and will use her again.
We love Jessica, our Teddy has as much fun as we do on holiday, he loves playing with her Rosie & Jim spaniels, he loves making friends and is well looked after, we love the pup-dates, I thoroughly recommend Jessica and when we go away, Jess is our first call to see if he can stay. Thanks again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Maidstone on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,405 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 .
