“Marina was an excellent sitter. We met in a local park close to where he would be staying before first so he could have a good sniff around before his daycare. Benji settled in well. Marina provided lots of feedback and photo updates throughout the day, was very communicative and approachable. Would definitely use again 🐶 thank you!”

“Anna has been taking care of Willow, my nearly 1 year old cockapoo since she was about 4 months old either for walks or doggy day care. She knows about dogs and I've learnt a lot from her. She is kind, compassionate and so reliable. I get lots of updates throughout the day which is reassurinf.

I can't recommend Anna enough.”
About: Along with caring for friends’ and family dogs, I had my own dog for 16½ wonderful years, which gave me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities, including senior care. I provide loving one-on-one attention, walks, playtime, and a calm home environment where dogs can feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I live in a spacious house with a secure, pleasant garden where dogs have plenty of room to run, play, and relax. Morden Hall Park is just across the street, so daily walks and outdoor time are always part of the routine. Dogs staying with me have access to comfortable beds, toys, fresh bottled water, treats, and lots of one-on-one attention throughout the day. When I go to my office, which is based in the same area, dogs are welcome to come with me, where they also have a cozy space with beds, toys, water, and company. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and included at all times. For senior dogs and dogs who don't like long walks, pram is available for their comfort, so they can still enjoy plenty of outdoor time. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable home environment for dogs staying with me. There are currently no children or other pets in the house, which allows me to give each dog plenty of individual attention and supervision. I only board one or a maximum of two dogs at a time and only accept small to medium-sized friendly breeds to ensure a relaxed and stress-free environment for everyone. Dogs are supervised at all times and are never left alone for long periods. My home has a secure garden for safe outdoor play, and Morden Hall Park is just across the street for regular walks and exercise. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines, and any special care needs to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and at home.
About: Hi ! I’m Gina, nice to meet you guys 🥰 Dogs have always been my biggest passion. Back home, my family raised more than 10 family dogs, giving me extensive experience with senior dog care as they aged beautifully over time. I am a proud owner of a 1-year-old male Pomeranian (fully vaccinated, unneutered) who is currently living abroad (Temporary). Because he’s far away, I miss the companionship of dogs so much. I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, particularly small breeds, and I know exactly how to keep them safe, happy, and loved. ❤️ If you would like me to train your dog, please feel free to ask! You can easily add this service by booking a 'Dog Walking' slot along with your main booking to cover the training fee. I run my own business and work completely from home, which means I am a homebody who rarely goes out. Your little ones will never be left lonely, as I am available to provide them with full-time attention, love, and care throughout the entire day. I live in a flat that has a comfortable indoor area for your dogs to run around and play. There is also a lovely communal garden nearby where I can take them for safe and fun walks. Additionally, I have a playpen available to keep them safe and secure whenever necessary.
About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a gentler pace. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so long walks and plenty of exercise are something I genuinely enjoy — even better with a dog by my side. My priority is always making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a teacher, my schedule gives me a great balance for pet care. During school holidays and weekends, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and company. I’m naturally very active and love being outdoors, so caring for dogs fits perfectly into my daily routine. I have a fenced garden and a very secure spacious house for the dog to feel at home in. The area is very quiet and dog friendly.

“We have left Rocky with Aleksandra a few times over the past few weeks. Rocky loves it, you can tell he feels really at home and is really calm and happy when we pick him up (he’s a very anxious boy usually). Can’t reccomend enough! Has been an absolute game changer to have someone we trust, who is also super flexible around work plans changing etc. thank you!!”
“Brandy was very happy as soon as he went in and we felt very comfortable with him there- would definitely go again and Brandy along with us are very thankful to Daiana for a lovely day . Thank you so much”

“This was Thandi's first daycare session with Stefanie and it can't have gone any better! Stefanie was happy to have us pop over beforehand, so we could all meet and Thandi could become familiar with her home. She asked all the right questions and is clearly caring, calm and experienced. On the day, she was punctual, shared lots of pics and updates and Thandi came back happy and tired after lots of lovely walks. She can't wait until next time!”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Merton
Keshav (our Golden Retriever) has been having a wonderful time with Marcia. He settled in very quickly from day one, and since then has enjoyed well-balanced days filled with walks, playtime, and plenty of time to rest and recharge. Marcia has a fantastic understanding of dogs and their individual needs, and it really shows. Keshav comes home happy, relaxed, and content after every visit. Even more telling, he's genuinely excited to see Marcia each morning, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he is in her care. Communication throughout the day has been excellent. As first-time owners leaving him in a new environment, we were naturally a little nervous at first, but Marcia quickly put our minds at ease with regular updates, messages, and photos. She has a real knack for capturing perfectly timed photos of our fur baby, and we genuinely look forward to receiving them throughout the day. Seeing how well Keshav is being cared for has been incredibly reassuring, and we couldn't be happier with the care and attention he receives.
Iggy had a great day with Kirsty! She took really good care of him and he came home v happy. She was very communicative and I could relax knowing that Iggy was being well looked after. I will definitely ask Kirsty to look after Iggy again and recommend her to others!
Hannah looked after TJ brilliantly. She was very attentive throughout and kept communication excellent from start to finish, making sure I was always updated on how he was doing. I particularly appreciated how mindful she was during the hot weather, keeping a close eye on his wellbeing and reassuring me that he was comfortable and well cared for. It's clear that Hannah genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and I felt completely at ease knowing TJ was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and conscientious dog sitter.
Pickle had a lovely day with Emily and Tony, I would definitely recommend them and would not hesitate to leave Pickle with them again. Pickle is an older dog of almost 11yrs who is quite anxious and has only known one dog minder previously so I was a little worried about leaving him with someone new but I need not worry. He made himself at home on the sofa, got a nice sunny spot at the window and made friends with Tony. Emily kept me up to date with how Pickle was getting on with photos, mostly snoozing which shows he was more than fine and very relaxed. He has come home a happy dog!! Thanks so much!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Merton on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 17,107 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Merton. About 86% of Merton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 Merton 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 Greater London 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 .
