“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!”
“Gary is absolutely fantastic host with excellent communication response to my messages instantly, update me everyday with photo and messages how my Oscar doing. 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.”
“First time leaving my belle with someone other than family and I felt very comfortable she was looked after well. Hannah treated her like her own and sent me lots of videos and photos :)”
“Christopher was an easygoing and flexible host. He was also very communicative, sending daily updates about Rocco. Rocco seemed to have a good match with him and Nina. We will definitely consider him for any future bookings! Once again, thank you for having Rocco for the last 5 days.”
“We left our greyhound Dolly with Sean for four nights and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. Sean lives in a quiet countryside location with a big garden, which makes a great place to have a dog. Dolly was very comfortable and enjoyed her walks, and we got regular updates from Sean. We will definitely use Sean again.”
“A big thank you to Danielle D. Wilf came home a happy dog and I would have no hesitation with leaving Wilf with Danielle and her girls in the future. I received lots of photos showing how relaxed Wilf was when in her care.”
About: I’ve always lived with dogs - childhood pets, dog sitting when studying and now having my own dogs. Currently we have a young setter whom we trained from a puppy. I have experience in looking after a range of dogs but the majority of my experience is with spaniels (my previous dog was a springer spaniel), retrievers and Labrador’s and their needs. I’m used to high energy dogs who need lots of walking and game playing. I have experienced first hand the transformation in a dog once it has sufficient exercise and stimulation, so will always look to ensure that your dog has enough walking and play. Our setter has suffered from separation anxiety, so I very aware of the challenges of this & the resulting behaviour. We have worked hard to overcome this & with the right routine in place can now leave him for a couple of hours. We are also working very hard with his recall & making progress, I have honestly found training a ongoing personal achievement and has strengthened our bond hugely. With active dogs, in and out of puddles etc. I am very aware regular brushing is essential to keep their coat untangled and clean. Personally I think this is a lovely way to spent sometime with your dog when they are calm in the evening and happy to spend time with your dog in this way. I’m work from home part time supporting my partners carpentry business. I have two children (4&7) so have school runs twice a day. I’m around the majority of the day otherwise. I walk our dog after school drop off for at least an hour, we go to local open spaces or drive to the country parks. I will take him for another shorter walk either before pick up or later in the day once my partner is home. I'm happy to take additional walks if this is needed for your dog or play scent games in the house & when I'm home they are always free to go in the garden. I have a two year old friendly neutered male English Setter in my home. He likes all dogs and if they are energetic he will play with them. If they are senior he respects this and is gentle. I walk with him for over an hour a day and often go for runs. I can walk other dogs with or without him. If your dog was in our home, they would be in the same space as him on the ground floor and in the garden. Dogs are not allowed upstairs in the bedrooms but provide beds in each room, so they are able to to be with me throughout the day & are not left alone. Whilst the dog will never be left alone around the children (and my children have been around dogs all their lives), it will need to be happy to be in a family environment. Our setter (like a Labrador) is happy to try and eat anything! During mealtimes, our dog and any visiting dogs will be put in a different room. He is a counter surfer and so surfaces and tables are clear of food aside from mealtimes, so they do not get anything that might upset their tummies. I'm very vigilant on keeping any non dog friendly foods well away (raisins, chocolate etc.)
About: Based in the Gillingham (Kent). I have taken care of many types of dogs and cats since I was a child. Many of my neighbours and family have pets and have relied on me to walk and feed them whilst they have been at work, away on holiday or in hospital. I work full time and will be mostly available on weekends. I work from home wed- friday so I will be able to house sit wed- sun 😊. I will take care of your pet any way you would like me to. Everyone is different and has different needs or expectations. Always best to allow the owner to take lead.
“Isabella was accommodating at last minute to my little puppy, she was very welcoming and attentive to all mine and Piccolino needs. I was naturally anxious for leaving Piccolino for the first time but Isabella was amazing. She has taken the time to understand Piccolino's personality and has made a real connection with him. I trust her explicitly and equally Piccolino adores Isabella and Sybil. She goes on great walks which engage Piccolino both physically and socially. Piccolino is well looked after and shown lots of love. I am very grateful for Isabellas help and would highly recommend.”
“I’d happily book with Bonny again: she was really friendly, ensured Juno had ample space to play around in, took her for walks, provided lovely pics and was just all around really helpful (and at short notice)! Juno seemed to have a great time!”
About: I have loved and looked after dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life. My house will be a home from home for your best friend. I am a trained Dog Mentor (previously working with dogs in schools). I’m a teacher so can only provide boarding and care on set weekends and some school holidays. I would love my own dog but my work demands mean that it wouldn’t be practical. I am really missing the companionship of animals and I’m not in it for the money though the money insures me and keeps us safe. I live on an estate with a closed in area ideal for dog exercise, a large green and I’m very close to riverside pathways for lovely walkies. I have an enclosed fenced garden and a dog savvy cat who will stay out of the way. My son has also been around dogs all of his life and has a gentle nature with animals.
About: Hello, I am Tracey and I have had dogs all my life and can’t imagine a home without one! I have lots of years of experience caring for them and my main aim is to make them feel like what I offer is a home from home experience when you can’t be with them. I offer a calm, loving home where your dog is treated as family and as one of our own pets. With my 3 grown up daughters and partner living at home this can be a busy household especially at weekends but there are enough rooms for quiet zones if your pet needs some time alone and there is certainly the opportunity for lots of attention and those all important walks, playtime and cuddles. Your pet will have the company of our family dog Winnie who is a 3 year old Lhasa Apso – she looks like a teddy bear – who will love the company and companionship of a new friend to visit every now and then! If you did want to consider us, then I would suggest a meet and greet to see if our furry friends are comfortable with each other. I only host one household at a time so your furry friend will enjoy a safe and exclusive stay with the use of a safe enclosed garden. I work from home everyday so I am always around to give them my attention. They will never be fully left alone without prior arrangement with yourself. Where we live is full of green fields and places to explore on walks. There is plenty of space downstairs in our house for your dog to be kept at night either with their own bedding or crated and off course before booking with us we would go through all of your dogs requirements and routine. I offer one offs and regular day care and overnight boarding. Please just get in touch to discuss what it is you are looking for… I currently work full time at home so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs and adjust to their needs when needed. I have a big fenced garden and my friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, I can easily crate your dog if needed/suit to their needs.
“Gabriele was amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog and she made it much easier she was very welcoming and sent daily updates and pictures! She made my dog and I feel so comfortable! Would definitely recommend!! 🩷”
“🌟 Exceptional Care from Shara! 🌟 We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care our German Shepherd, Storm, received while we were away on holiday. Shara was absolutely fantastic—warm, reliable, and clearly a true dog lover. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease knowing Storm would be in such capable and caring hands. Throughout our trip, Shara kept us updated with lovely messages and adorable photos, which made all the difference. It was clear that Storm wasn’t just being looked after—she was being genuinely cared for and loved. When we returned, she was happy, relaxed, and had clearly formed a lovely bond with Shara. We’re so grateful to have found someone who treats our dog like family. If you’re looking for a sitter who goes above and beyond, Shara is the one. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thank you, Shara, for taking such wonderful care of our girl 💙🐾”
About: I have experience caring for cats and providing dog walking services, and I truly enjoy working with animals.I am a patient and gentle sitter who takes the time to build trust with each pet. I’m especially good with shy or nervous cats, giving them space while helping them feel comfortable.I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, whether they are energetic or more shy, and adapt my approach to suit them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I am available in the early mornings for feeding and dog walking, as well as in the afternoons. I am reliable and make sure to stick to each pet’s routine. I also have more flexibility on weekends, so I can spend extra time with pets and adapt to their needs I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by following their usual routine as closely as possible. When visiting a pet owner’s home, I am respectful, keep everything clean and tidy, and carefully follow all instructions for feeding, walks, and care. I do not offer overnight stays in the owner’s home, but I can provide boarding in my own home for cats and small dogs. My home is a calm, safe, and secure environment, suitable for smaller pets where they will receive plenty of attention and care. I always prioritise safety by keeping pets secure indoors, using leads on walks, and making sure doors and gates are properly closed. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they are away

I booked my boy Buddy in for his holidays with Kevin and wow, he’s home and been washed and so has his blanket, he appears to be sulking or having the holiday blues now! I was updated daily with messages pictures and videos and will definitely be using Kevin again. Before I went away we did a small meet up and confirmed any insecurity I may had and also while away and injured myself Kevin brought Buddy back to my home. Couldn’t get better , a real gem of a find!
Gemma took amazing care of Ziggy. He was unsettled on his first night there (due to his anxiousness) but Gemma was very caring and Ziggy was soon settled and very happy. Gemma was friendly, communicative and went the extra mile for Ziggy for which I was really grateful. Would definitely book again!
Thank you so much to Zarala and Alex for looking after Bella so well! She had the best time with you both, going on lovely long walks, playing in your garden and playing with you both with her toys, especially “Tug”, which is her absolute favourite and she loved all her cuddles and strokes, thank you . Zarala sent me lots of photos and videos everyday, which was lovely to see her so settled and happy and reassured me, when I knew she was having a great time and was being looked after so well. I can’t thank you both enough for your genuine love and care that you gave her and I don’t think she actually wanted to come home, that’s how happy she was! 😊
Kasia is absolutely lovely. This was the first time we left our Jax with someone. Kasia kept us updated with photos and Jax was very happy and content. I don’t think he wanted to leave! 😂 She took him for lots of walks and he had lots of love and cuddles. Will definitely be using Kasia again in the future and will 100% recommend. Thank you Kasia!

Cristina has been amazing with our black lab, Lily! She’s calm, incredibly caring and really attentive to Lily’s additional needs as a senior dog. Lily settled in right away during both her day care and overnight stays, which made us feel so comfortable leaving her in Cristina’s care. We also loved getting the photo updates and messages throughout the day. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter — highly recommend Cristina!

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 .
