About: Our family have been around and owned dogs our entire lives. My husband and I have been looking after family and friends dogs together for nearly 5 years. We are newly established as a licensed home boarders taking 2 doggy guests at a time alongside our two neutered boys, and we want to offer as much flexibility and tailoring as possible for you and your pets comfort! I work from home weekdays so dogs have plenty of company! We can do walks at breakfast, lunch and dinner time, and weekends we can go for nice long and more adventurous walks (weather and dog dependant!) We have a large fenced back garden, half grass and half stone/slabs, and a smaller fenced front garden with grass and stone, the dogs can go anywhere in our home except my daughters room in case of teddy theft! We have a huge sofa so there is plenty of space for cwtches! We are pretty relaxed, flexible and happy to make accommodations to make sure all dogs are as happy as possible.
About: Grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve wanted to be a veterinarian when I grew up but I couldn’t as I wouldn’t be able to do the things they do to animals cause I get so emotional. I did animal care training with ACT and worked with all animals. I’m a stay at home mam so dogs won’t ever be left alone during the day unless I drop my daughter to school which is only 5 mins down the road from where I live so can talk toe dog or dogs with me to drop her off at school then take them for a long walk around my local park I have a small garden with a gate right down to the floor so they can’t escape. They will have free roam of the house (except upstairs)

About: Hello my name is Lucia 🙂 I have grown up around dogs and cats and I have always had them as part of my family, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I have helped with feeding, walking, grooming, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. Being around dogs and cats for most of my life has taught me how to understand their needs, personalities, and routines, and I am comfortable caring for them of different ages and temperaments. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my day at home. On weekdays, I only leave briefly in the morning to take my child to nursery from 10:00 to 11:30, and then I return home for the rest of the day. This means I can provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and companionship for your pet throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can enjoy fresh air and play safely. Pets will receive lots of love, attention, and care while staying with me. I also enjoy taking dogs on regular walks, so they can get exercise, explore, and have fun during their stay.

I currently have a friendly Rough Collie called Hugo, who has given me plenty of experience with daily walks, feeding routines, grooming, playtime, and understanding canine behaviour. Friends and family regularly trust me to care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, lots of play, or simply companionship and cuddles, I will ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. As I work from home, I have lots of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day, ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well looked after while you’re away. I provide a safe, caring, and home-from-home environment for pets in my care. As I work from home, pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I follow each owner’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication requirements, and any special instructions. In my home, dogs have access to comfortable living spaces and regular exercise, and they can enjoy social interaction with my friendly Rough Collie, Hugo, if suitable. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I ensure their routine remains consistent, keeping them comfortable and settled while providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Georgia and Cadi took great care of Bruce, with plenty of playing and cuddles and regular pictures to reassure our anxiety at leaving him for the first time. Georgia and Cadi were really accommodating and seemed to really enjoy spending the day with him, which was lovely. We're very grateful for their kindness and for looking after him so well.”

“We made a last minute booking with Amy, she responded quickly to our request and was great. Amy gave us regular updates of how they were doing throughout the day and sent pictures of them snoozing after their walk. We will definitely be booking her again!”

“Tirion had a great time. From the initial meet and greet to the actual day care I felt confident to leave her with Michelle and the lovely Teddy. Great questions asked about Tirion's needs, and a lovely, secure home and garden which made me feel very comfortable leaving her for the day.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Merthyr Tydfil commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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 Wales 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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
