“Ayan was a very reliable sitter. He kept me updated regularly throughout Milo’s stay. Milo seemed to have had such a good time with his family & dog, Romeo. I will definitely be using his services again”
“Jake had another fabulous stay with Patrick and Hannah. They really get him and all his quirks and he is so happy there. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you both so much.”
“Bella had a fabulous time with Gary and his partner Anita.during her stay. Bella was taken for very long walks by Gary, which being a highly energetic Patterdale , was perfect as she absolutely loves her walks! Gary kept me updated everyday with how Bella was and sent me photos with updates, which kept me completely reassured that she was ok and was having great fun! She loved playing with lots of toys and also received lots of cuddles, which she loved and Gary & Anita treated her as if she was part of the family and she really loved being there with them both. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gary and will definitely be booking Bella in to stay there again in the future!”
“Nico was treated like a prince while staying with Chloe and Lucie. He had walks, outings, cuddles and even a bit of training! He loved Chloe and Lucie’s dog, Willow too as well as other ‘guests’. I received daily messages and pics and was totally confident he was in the best care. I can’t recommend Chloe highly enough.”
“Wilf boarded with Natasha for a few days. I think he fell in love with her lab. He was a very happy boy, no problems. Natasha sent me lots of lovely updates of Wilf. I would definitely use Natasha again when the need arises.”
About: Dog lover who is the go to person if family & friends need help with walks, feeding and caring for their dogs. Love going out for long walks with my own dog.

About: I'm in my 30s and I've been around dogs since the age of 4. Over the last year we've been doing a lot of dog sitting for friends and family and it's filled a huge void for us. We lost our beloved staffy (pictured) before Xmas. The house is so empty without her so having the company of other families fur babies brings a lot of comfort and joy to our every day 💕 I know it's a huge deal leaving your dog with a total stranger but we have a lot of love, attention and care to give! I work from home mostly, my work place is quite flexible with which days I need to go to the office, which works perfectly for dog sitting! We have a secure garden, and we're more than happy for dogs to be on the sofa! We're also very active people so we love walking as much as your dog needs.
About: I have got experienced with several breeds of dogs: dachshund, jack russell, golden retriever and american staffordshire terrier. I had my first dog when I was 15, he was an old dachshund, from that I have got experience on taking care of older dogs.I am currently with a american staffordshire terrier of 1 year and 4 months which led me to join the training course when she was 4 months which led me increase my knowledge concerning about dog behaviors and to help me with pet sitting. Even though I had only two dogs, I had many pet sitting experiences with the dogs i listed before. I am a university student currently doing my mechanical engineering degree. I like to make dogs feel comfortable, satisfying all their needs. If the dog needs to discharge energy I am willing to do several hours of walking and play, instead if they need only company, I can meet that requirement as well.
“Really glad to have found Gemma to look after our Cockerpoo while we went on holiday. We had a meet and greet and I could see straight away that Sam would be looked after very well. Gemma obviously loves dogs. She sent us lots of photos and he seemed to be very happy with her and her family.”
“Both dogs loved Ian and his family. They were looked after so well and given their meds when needed. We had regular updates and photos which really put our minds at ease. Would definitely use Ian again”
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

This is the third time Gary has looked after Toffee and once again he’s done an amazing job. We always feel completely comfortable leaving her with him, and he keeps us really well updated while we’re away, which is brilliant. Most importantly, Toffee absolutely loves being with Gary and his wife and always seems so happy and settled with them. It’s a massive peace of mind knowing she’s being so well looked after. Would 100% recommend Gary and we’ll definitely be using him again. Thank you both for taking such great care of Toffee!
We were really anxious about leaving our much loved dog. But we felt assured from the minute we made contact, that he would be well cared for. Kevin sent us an update and pictures every day, which was lovely. Kevin was really friendly, and Burt was well cared for, like home from home. We wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Lisa :)
Thank you so much for looking after our little prince so amazingly! It was the first time we’ve left River with someone who wasn’t family so I was nervous but Zara made sure I wasn’t worried as she always sent pictures and updates and was kind and considerate. River had two lovely days running around the garden and a nice walk too, he came back happy every day. Thank you so much will be booking Zara again in the future! 😄
We left Lara our Cockapoo with Isabella and Ben for a stay over two weekends. Lara got on well with their young spaniel Phoebe. Ben & Isabella kept us informed during Her stay and She settled in well and had a good time . On the second stay Lara run into their house , which is always a good sign . I would highly recommend and will be defusing again

Kasia looked after our 14 week old Bichon Frise puppy for 3 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. As first time puppy owners, we were naturally nervous as it was Tina’s first time away from home (she’s not even toilet trained yet!). Kasia was amazing with her, she clearly understands puppies and gave Tina so much care, patience and attention. Tina enjoyed lovely walks, plenty of playtime, and came home happy, relaxed, and very content. It was obvious she had been well looked after and genuinely enjoyed her stay. We completely trust Kasia and wouldn’t hesitate to leave Tina with her again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl!
Really glad to have found Gemma to look after our Cockerpoo while we went on holiday. We had a meet and greet and I could see straight away that Sam would be looked after very well. Gemma obviously loves dogs. She sent us lots of photos and he seemed to be very happy with her and her family.
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! 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Medway on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 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 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 .
