“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.”
“Annabel was very friendly from the start. Straight away I felt comfortable when we first met on our get together prior to our booking. Whilst looking after our girls, Annabel sent numerous photos whilst out and about and at home. I would thoroughly recommend Annabel and will definitely book her again to look after my girls”
“Keziah was great! Communication was awesome and she kept me updated the whole time with messages and pics. My puppy was clearly well taken care of and happy. I felt totally comfortable leaving her in her care and would definitely book again! 🐾”

“We were very nervous about leaving our puppy and looked into lots of different options before speaking to Rita. We were away for 18 nights and I couldn't recommend Rita enough. She replied straight away and arranged a house viewing. We went with our pup, Teddy, and she answered all our questions. Whilst we were away she kept us updated with photos and check ins. Teddy had a wonderful time. We are away again next year and won't hesitate to leave him with Rita and her family again.”
“We found Sheila was extremely helpful and most accommodating. our holiday plans changed but we were still able to get away and leave our lovely Pip in safe care thanks to Sheila. Pip appeared to feel at home as soon as he went through the front door and enjoyed his stay. We hope to return again soon. Thank you Sheila.”
“This was the first time that Mica and Charlie had looked after Bertie. After a few teething problems he settled down and had a whale of a time. We were kept updated with pics and videos the whole time we were away which was lovely. I think he had a lot of fun staying there.”

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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Maldon on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .
