“Absolutely amazing, thoughtful and responsive day care for my whippet. She had the best day with Becca and her pup Russell. Becca’s love and understanding of dogs is unmistakable. We will be returning, especially as I think Ripley has a new best friend in Russell!”
About: 🐾 A Calm, Licensed Home-from-Home Experience Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I provide fully licensed home boarding in a calm family environment where your dog is treated as one of the household, not as part of a kennel environment. Why choose me? ✅ Fully licensed by the local authority ✅ I work from home, so your dog enjoys company throughout the day. ✅ I board ONE household at a time, meaning your dog(s) are never mixed with unfamiliar dogs. ✅ Meet & Greets are encouraged before every first booking. ✅ Individual care tailored to your dog's routine, personality and needs. 🏡 Exclusive Boarding Unlike many boarders, I only accept dogs from one household at a time.This provides: • A quieter, less stressful environment. • Ideal for nervous, elderly or rescue dogs. • Individual attention throughout their stay. • No mixing with unfamiliar dogs. As availability is naturally limited, early booking is recommended, particularly during school holidays and peak travel periods. 🐕 Boarding Capacity To ensure every dog has sufficient space, supervision and comfort, I operate a 3-2-1 Maximum Occupancy Policy. • Up to 3 Small dogs • Up to 2 Medium dogs • Or 1 Large / Giant breed (All dogs must be from the same household.) Experience I have experience caring for a variety of breeds including: • Border Collies • Boxers • Cocker Spaniels • Corgis • Australian Shepherds • Labradors • Lhasa Apsos • Australian Labradoodles • Rhodesian Ridgebacks I'm confident handling energetic working breeds as well as smaller companion dogs, adapting exercise, enrichment and care to each individual dog. 🩺 Vaccination Requirements As a licensed home boarder, I am legally required to verify that every dog in my care has current core vaccinations. Before a booking is confirmed, please provide a copy (digital or paper) of your dog's vaccination record covering: • Distemper • Infectious Hepatitis • Parvovirus • Leptospirosis This helps keep every dog safe while ensuring compliance with local authority licensing requirements. 🤝 Communication I aim to respond promptly to every enquiry and appreciate the same in return. Because I only board one household at a time, dates remain available to other owners until a booking is confirmed through Rover. NOTE - Bookings are automatically cancelled / archived if the required paperwork is not returned within 72 hours of issue or by 72 hours before the boarding start date (whichever is sooner). No exceptions. 🐾 What you can expect • A genuine home environment. • Daily updates and photographs (if you'd like them!). • Plenty of companionship throughout the day. • Calm, patient handling. • Walks and routines tailored to your dog's individual needs. • Your dog treated with the same care and respect I'd expect for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I already walk 2–3 times a day, typically for around an hour each walk. I structure my day around providing consistent exercise, attention, and supervision, ensuring dogs get plenty of physical activity and stimulation throughout their stay. I’m at home for most of the day, so dogs are rarely left alone for long periods. My routine allows me to maintain a calm, stable environment with regular feeding times, walks, rest, and supervised garden access. I’m flexible and able to adjust my schedule to suit each dog’s individual needs, energy levels, and routines, including puppies or dogs that require more frequent attention. I provide a calm, safe home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family and their usual routines are followed, including feeding, exercise, and rest. I only board dogs from one household at a time, ensuring full attention, a stress-free environment, and no mixing with unfamiliar dogs. Dogs have access to a secure garden for supervised outdoor time, alongside tailored walks based on their individual needs and energy levels. I take a careful, responsible approach to care, prioritising safety, consistency, and comfort so each dog can settle quickly and feel at home. Owners receive regular updates with messages and photos for complete peace of mind while their dog is in my care.

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.
“Bowie had an amazing day at Sean and Ida’s today. He played with his new puppy friend all day. I was sent videos which reassured me he was happy as it was his first time away from home. He was picked up and dropped off to me which made it so convenient for me to go to work. They are lovely people and I trusted them implicitly. Would highly recommend!”
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: I had my own cat for 15 years. I have looked after friends and families dogs and cats. Done drop ins for feeding and attention. Done dog walks for small and medium sized dogs. I currently run a small mug business from home which takes up hardly any of my time which means I can be available any day of the week for walks, pet pop ins, day care, boarding ect. Flexible with days and times. I have no children or any other pets. I live in a decent sized home with a fenced garden. Me and my husband do not smoke.
About: We both come from households with dogs our whole lives. I’ve always had 2 dogs whilst growing up on a farm and Oli loved growing up with his dogs Bailey and Summer. The past couple years we have looked after a range of dogs whilst housesitting for friends and family. I am available all day and Oli works until 3 so available in the afternoon, leaving plenty of time to look after your pets! I work from home so there’s plenty of time for walking and attention for your pup. When Oli gets back he loves a walk and spend time in the garden. We have a fenced garden, with a park nearby and happy to take further if needed. Separate room downstairs for dog to stay in, but happy to have upstairs too!
About: My partner has always been raised with dogs as pets for 20 years, these have ranged from boarder coillies, cocker spaniels, terroirs to Rottweilers. I have alway grown up around family dogs and have loved taking care of them, Our home will be your fur babies home away from home when they stay with us. Bella was the fifth member to our family, sadly we said goodbye to her in May 25. But we would treat your fur babies exactly the same as we treated Bella. Both of our children have been raised around dogs, and love getting involved with caring for them. I predominantly work from home and my partner works a rolling shift pattern so your fur babies will always have company when they stay with us. Bella is set in her ways however we would be more than willing to follow the same feeding scheduling that you implement for your dog. We would welcome your dog’s blankets, toys and beds to make them feel comfortable during their stay. We also have space for your fur babies to sleep in their create if needed. We have a large enclosed garden that your fur babies will have constant access to during their stay.

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.
