From the day we meet and greet to the day we picked him up my Oscar was so happy being with Gary Oscar was so relaxed at Gary’s home and have a very large secure garden for Oscar to run around safely. We knew we have picked the right dog seater for him . Thanks again Gary and sure Oscar will see you again. I will highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for a good and reliable dog seater.”

“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.”
“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.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, currently have a miniature dachshund called Frankie, so very aware of dachshund needs. My family have cockapoos and German shepherds so very aware on their needs. I am cabin crew, who is currently off work with going through IVF, so I am home full time and available. I like to go on long walks with the doggies, especially in the evenings when it’s nice and cool. I have a garden which is secure, I have a miniature dachshund so the garden is secure for her. I live 2 minute walk from vineyards fields, lots of walking around my house. I am happy to come to your home and look after your pet.
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 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!”
“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 .”
“This was the sixth time Mark has cared for Wilbur and they always have a fabulous time together. My go-to no 1 carer for Wilbur. He comes back well looked after, happy and normally very tired too, which for an energetic black lab is an accomplishment! I have complete peace of mind whilst we are away which is priceless!”
About: Hi! I’m a responsible and caring dog lover with personal experience owning and looking after dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll take the time to get to know your dog’s personality and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and settled while you’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, relaxing at home, or simply having someone around for company, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I only recently lost my own dog and have decided to try pet sitting for a while before I consider getting another of my own. I currently work full-time from home but have plenty of time for walks and play. I would relish the company. I can also work remotely at your house. I have a long fenced and secure garden. I also back onto a field where there are lovely walking paths. If I am sitting at your home I will be happy to follow your routine.

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.
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 ❤️
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

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 .
