“Alison's poodle, Bella, is the most chilled dog ever and she got on well with Moray, our young Jack Russell. Moray loved Alison from the start and he went on some really good walks and got lots of cuddles. I couldn't be happier to leave Moray with Alison again.”
“Joanne has been an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She is kind, caring, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was so well looked after and felt completely at home with her lovely family. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dog was in such a warm and loving environment. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joanne to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
About: Both myself & partner work from home so are able to give lots of cuddles and walks. We have a gorgeous puppy called coco who loves being around other dogs. We have grown up around dogs and would love to have our coco around other dogs as often as possible. We are able to stick to routines that your dogs have and allow full access of the house & garden (if this is what you want for your dog) x I work from home so plenty of love to give, lots of walks & cuddles. I have a cockapoo too who loves other dogs and would love the company. We have a fenced garden totally safe and big to run around, plus a very loving home that they are free to roam wherever they would like.
About: My boyfriend and I are huge dog lovers and would absolutely love to have a dog of our own one day, but we’re holding off for another year (we also love our holidays!). In the meantime, we love opening our home to four-legged guests! We regularly look after his brother’s dog and my parents’ dog (both pictured) - who we used to live with before we moved in together. so we’re very used to different personalities, routines, and plenty of cuddles. Your pup will be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, playtime, walks and a comfortable home environment while you’re away. We can’t wait to meet them! I regularly work from home so your dog will have all-day company. I’ll take them on a morning (8am) & afternoon (5pm) lead walk. Please note i’m not comfortable letting dogs off the lead until I’ve known them for a considerable amount of time and trust their recall. We have a good sized garden, in the summer I’m happy to leave the patio doors open so they can come and go as they please whilst I work upstairs. Dogs are welcome and even encouraged on the furniture. My boyfriend would prefer for dogs to sleep down by the side of the bed, but I cave to puppy eyes easily 🤭 We have a fenced and locked garden. We are tidy couple so rest assured there won’t be anything left out for your dog to chew/choke on. We can crate your dog if you prefer. However if I were to nip out I’d be happy to leave them in the down stairs front room and kitchen area as it’s hard floor (opposed to carpet upstairs). Our house is very quiet other than the occasional doorbell ring from a deliver driver.
“Joanna was absolutely amazing for my 2 dogs over the weekend. Kept in touch with videos at home and on walks an they seem to of had such a great time I will be definitely booking Joanna again in the near future. 10/10 highly recommend.”
“Bean boarded with Carle for 10 nights. He had such a great time. Carle was super with him being very patient and gentle while he settled in. It didn’t take long for him to make himself at home. He was thoroughly loved and while he was pleased to see us was reluctant to leave. He would love to stay with Carle when we next go away. I’d highly recommend Carle”
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m a passionate animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! At home, I’m proud pet parent to two mischievous cats, Bobby & Milo, and one fun-loving dog, Rolo, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless cuddles, playtime adventures, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion while you’re away, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and always treat every pet as if they were my own. For your complete peace of mind, I am fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, ensuring your beloved companions are in safe and professional hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and plenty of wagging tails and purring cats! 🐶🐱 I’d love to meet you and your furry family, so please feel free to get in touch. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! Pet care is a huge part of my daily life. As the owner of two cats, Bobby & Milo, and a dog, Rolo, caring for animals is already built into my routine every single day. From feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and cuddles to making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need, I’m very experienced in managing the different needs and personalities of both cats and dogs. I structure my schedule around providing reliable, consistent care, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I look after. Whether it’s morning walks, daytime visits or evening feeds I enjoy incorporating pet care into my week and genuinely love spending time with animals. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s something I’m passionate about. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I always aim to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I always provide care that is tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, cleaning litter trays, and, of course, plenty of affection and companionship. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel relaxed while their owners are away. For dog walking services, I ensure dogs receive safe, enjoyable walks suited to their age, energy level, and requirements. Whether they enjoy a brisk adventure or a gentle stroll, their wellbeing and safety are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself to two cats, Bobby & Milo, and my dog, Rolo, I know how important trust, communication, and reliability are. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can have complete peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I am also fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, offering an additional level of reassurance that your beloved pets are in safe and professional hands.
“Alison looked after our puppy Luna for the day and overnight, Luna was very well looked after, cared for and given lots of attention and affection. Alison was great at understanding Luna’s needs and communicating with and also sent pictures and videos of Luna so we could see how she was getting on throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend. Thank you so much 😊”
About: I have grown up in a home caring for many animals including dogs, cats, chickens, and more. I have recently relocated from Surrey and have availability to take on new clients. I previously volunteered at a dog rescue in Portugal. I loved my time there! The experience has made me comfortable around dogs of all sizes, abilities, and temperaments. I am currently working privately as a carer. My hours are casual so I am very flexible with my availability and can be available at short notice. I would prefer to look after pets in their own home. I can stay with them all day or I can do regular check ups.
About: As a dedicated dog owner to two high maintence dogs myself, I understand how important routine, patience and affection are in helping dogs feel safe and settled. Alongside caring for my own two Chow Chow’s Winnie and Bertie, I’ve looked after friends’ chow chows and a variety of other breeds while they’ve been on holiday, giving me plenty of hands‑on experience with different temperaments, ages and needs. Whether I’m supporting a playful pup or a more sensitive dog, I always tailor my approach to their individual personality, ensuring they feel loved, secure and part of the family. My two chows are very friendly and love to make new friends and welcome them into their home. My female Chow has various health issues, so I am very experienced in giving medication and following instructions and promise to love and care for your dog like they’re my own! I have a Smoke free / clean home and there’s plenty of space. I can bath your dog for you on request, I have lots of experience in home grooming due to having two very fury chows! And have a professional blaster for drying. Your dog/ dogs must be ok and friendly with other dogs to stay in our home. Meeting your dog beforehand is a must before they board or come to doggy day care with us to make sure they are ok with my dogs and to understand their needs properly. I mostly work from home, giving me plenty of time to focus on your dog’s needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for consistent, flexible care. I have a secure fully fenced garden and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, and can easily crate your dog if needed. My dogs are treated like family, and yours will be too!

I’ve worked with pets of all sizes and temperaments and am comfortable following detailed care instructions. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priority. I’ll make sure they feel loved, entertained, and cared for while you're away! Im currently self employed therefore I am available whenever your pets need taking care of. I can do anytime weekends or weekdays.

Millie our Cockapoo stayed with Alison (and Bella her dog) for 2 weeks and the level of care and attention was beyond all our expectations. Alison provided regular updates and numerous photos and really did ensure that Millie was cared for throughout her stay with regular walks and given lots of love and attention. Very highly recommended. Thank you
Well where do I start?!? What an absolute amazing service Alison provided Day one Regular photos & updates Bentley was treated as one of the family Long walks & runs certainly tired him out, If anyone is looking for a home from home boarding for your dog Alison is your lady Bentley is missing the family and her two lovely dogs already! Thank you for your amazing service Alison and we were truly blessed to find you 🐾
We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better dog boarder. From the moment we met Gonca and her family, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She treated our boy as if he were part of her own family, and it was obvious how quickly he settled in and bonded with her and her lovely family. They welcomed him with open arms, gave him so much love, attention, and care, and made sure he felt completely at home. We were kept updated every single day with photos and videos, which was so reassuring and lovely to see while we were away. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he wasn’t just being looked after, he was being cherished. Our dog absolutely adored his time there and it was so heartwarming to see how much he loved her family too. We are beyond grateful for the incredible care she gave, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone. She really is amazing, and we feel so lucky to have found her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Maldon on Rover is £36.8 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 1,717 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Maldon. 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 East of 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 .
