“We would highly recommend Megan. Our Reggie has been so excited to go to day care and spend the day with Megan, Tilly and Teddy. It is clear from Reggie’s reaction that he gets plenty of TLC from Megan and playtime with Tilly and Teddy. We will definitely be using Megan again.”

“Charlotte has been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process of providing our first day care for Teddy. Charlotte & her family are so lovely and welcoming and Teddy seems to have had a great time. She has been so helpful and accommodating throughout and we feel very lucky to have found her. We were regularly updated with photos of Teddy enjoying himself too which was fab to know he was having fun & settled in his new surroundings. We are looking forward to his next visit.”


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.
About: We have had dogs in our family since I was a child. My parents have a 4 year old cavapoo who I trained with potty training, crate sleeping and obedience. Absolutely love all dogs and caring for them. I often look after family and friends dogs as I work from home so can keep them company and look after them whilst they go on holiday. I have been using Rover since May 2025 and now have many regular families with different breeds of dogs that I have had the pleasure of getting to know and looking after. I’m my happiest when I am with a pup! I currently work full time but from home so am really flexible with having dogs for the day or visiting during lunch breaks, evenings and weekends. I would love to find some more regular pups to care for and build up a relationship with them and their families. I love keeping fur babies company, walking them and caring for them.. I fully understand that dogs are a member of the family and are so important. I live in a 1st floor maisonette but have a medium sized garden and live a 2 minute walk from a huge nature reserve which is super dog friendly with loads of lovely areas to run around on or off lead.

About: Hi, I’m Charly, a dedicated dog lover who knows that dogs are family, not just pets. I have over 20 years of experience pet sitting for friends and family, as well as 6 years fostering rescue dogs, helping them feel safe and settled while they waited for their forever homes. For the past year I’ve been walking dogs professionally, caring for a variety of breeds, ages and temperaments. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or a relaxed environment, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. My home provides a calm, welcoming space for dogs, and I have a fully fenced garden with plenty of room for safe play and exercise. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog, so I always aim to provide reliable care, regular updates, and a loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I am currently working as a professional dog walker and can make my schedule work around you and your family pets needs you ask you and I’ll plan I have a fully fenced garden, for morning play and evening zoomies. There are plenty of countryside walks with walking distance and even more a few minutes drive away for those that like to go for a small ride in the car.

“Gareth was great with Memphis! She’s quite an anxious dog and is nervous around new people, but he was really patient with her and kept me updated throughout the day. I really appreciated the photos too. I’d definitely recommend Gareth and would happily use him again!”

“Moose had the absolute best day with Nicola! He is so happy and absolutely finished from all the playing. Really appreciate the pics and updates throughout the day. Thank you Nicola for giving Moose a home away from home where I know he is cared for as much as we do.”

About: I have taken care of friends pets for many years and also done pet sitting when I was a student. I now have a Maltipoo who has brought so much joy to my life. I would love to help those who need a sitter to care for their fur babies. I can assure you I will keep to a routine you may have and encourage training if needed. I look forward to caring for your fur baby. Welcome discounts available. I work but I am flexible with my days as I also work at home.

I live in a apartment and have a balcony. Pick up and drop off can be added to the booking for additional fee however must live within 15 mile radius.
“Che is absolutely amazing! They’ve been so great with Woody and really understanding of him being a nervous boy so cater to all his needs perfectly. Which as his owner is super reassuring for me. Will always return to Che for Woodys care.”

About: Dogs have always been a wonderful part of my life from a very young age. As a family our beautiful pets included Poodles, Yorkies and King Charles Spaniels. My own lovely old Jackadoodle passed away aged 16 over a year ago now but I have continued to care for all sorts of other little ones, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds and Frenchies, I love them all! I have plenty of experience in caring for elderly seniors as well as youngsters. As an experienced sitter, I offer excellent care to small breeds who will enjoy companionship, naps on the sofa, gentle walks and playtimes. My home set up is best suited to smaller dogs that enjoy a calm, peaceful and cosy environment. I provide kind, gentle and patient care, lovely walks, fun playtimes and plenty of cuddles on the sofa. I know that dogs are family, precious and loved. I have a large fully enclosed dog friendly garden with lots of trees, bushes and different areas for leg stretches, sniffs, playtimes, snoozing in the sunshine and regular toilet breaks. I never leave dogs unsupervised in the garden and I’m happy to use a lead if your dog is elderly, unsteady or particularly tiny for extra peace of mind. There are plenty of dog friendly walks on my doorstep for your dog to enjoy while they stay with me. Great for short walks for old legs or longer adventures for youngsters. Safety is my priority and I always keep leads on. I am happy to send daily updates and photos whilst you are on holiday or at work. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I enjoy getting to know each dogs personality, funny ways and little routines. This helps to make sure they feel calm, loved and safe with me until you’re home. I’m at home all day and so your dog will have plenty of company, cuddles and playtimes. They will be able to go in the garden whenever they want to and get the walks they need. I am usually available all week for boarding and Monday to Friday for daycare. Please be aware that I have uncarpeted wooden stairs which some dogs can find tricky, I am very happy to carry your dog up and down if needed if they like to sleep upstairs at night, but I do need to be able to lift them. Please keep this in mind if your dog doesn't like being carried. Dogs cannot access the stairs unsupervised. Dogs are allowed on the sofa for cuddles and upstairs with me at night in their beds if they are happiest staying close by. If your dog is used to sleeping in a crate, please bring it with you as I don’t have one.
“Communication was brilliant throughout. With regular updates. Very professional & welcoming. This was the first time we had left our dog & could not be happier with the whole experience. Would thoroughly recommend”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs for many years, as well as other animals including guinea pigs, hamsters, tortoises. I am a kind, caring animal lover that is reliable and trustworthy. I have owned a Labrador for many years and currently have our family cat Winnie who we adore. I appreciate the importance of having trust in someone to look after your pet, they are part of the family therefore getting the best care is vital. We have had a cat sitter for some time now for our cat and fully appreciate the reassurance we feel whilst on holiday having someone reliable! I work as a therapist in a school and I am looking for Friday animal sits/ dog walks in my local area as well as all holidays. Some weekends I am available too. For the most part of the week I work in a school, however every Friday and school holidays I work with animals in my local area. It's something I love as I can either animal sit in your home/dog walk alone or with my little girls depending on the family/pet requirements. I prefer to work from 9am until 2pm every Friday. I am flexible during the school holidays and some weekends. I feel calm and relaxed with animals and I see my job as such a pleasure. I prefer to care for your animals in your home. I am respectful of your home and your rules. I will always provide pictures of your pets if you wish with notes of the visit and how it has gone. I will provide details of timings/how much your cat/animal has eaten and behaviour of your animal. If I am a good fit with your family/pet we can discuss this on our initial visit. I hold all appropriate insurances/questionnaires to complete on initial visit. I will ensure to take your pet to the vet if they become unwell or injured. More details when we meet in person.☺️

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.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Maidstone
Nicola was fantastic with our 4 month old puppy - I was anxious about leaving her for the day but Nicola’s lovely, calm home was the perfect setting, and Bonnie was very well taken care of. I received photo updates throughout the day and picked up a very happy pup. I will definitely be booking Nicola again 😊

Gareth was great with Memphis! She’s quite an anxious dog and is nervous around new people, but he was really patient with her and kept me updated throughout the day. I really appreciated the photos too. I’d definitely recommend Gareth and would happily use him again!

Megan took great care of our Harry at very short notice! He was a very happy boy when he got home, and as a naturally nervous dog this was a great sign ☺️ Plenty of pictures throughout the day as well - I would highly recommend and would send Harry here to stay again for sure! Thanks so much x

Ben was doing dog duty today when i dropped off Beetle my foster dog . I was quite stressed as never left him with anyone before at a different house. Ben was very calm with him and spent time just letting him get used to the new surroundings. I had update and photos during the day, and was relieved to see he was fine and having fun He will be boarding there for 2 nights after Christmaa which will be much better for us now he has had his playday and was a happy boy on pick up time

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Maidstone
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Maidstone on Rover is £29 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £18 and £38 per day.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalised environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-to-one attention, and same-day collection and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose 'can host' section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socialising needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters 'Doesn't own a dog' and 'Only accepts one pet at a time' to find the right care.
Many sitters on Rover can help with collection and drop-off! You can find the cost of collection and drop-off in their profile under 'See additional rates'.
If you found a day care close to your home in Maidstone, you can also explore dog walking as an add-on service, which allows your sitter to collect or drop off your dog from their home to yours. Add your location to the search field to find sitters near you and message them directly about transport alternatives.
Day care on Rover takes place in the sitter’s home rather than at a commercial day care facility. At a sitter’s home, your dog’s care is arranged directly with an individual sitter. Depending on the sitter, the day may include walks, play, companionship, rest and care based on the routine you agree on together.
Day care facilities generally care for dogs in a commercial space. Their staffing, dog-grouping practices and available spaces will vary by facility.
Neither option is better than the other. Your dog’s unique needs will determine whether they thrive in a home or facility-based setting.
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 .
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
