“We left our 18 month old cockapoo with Maria and Helen for 2 days and they took such lovely care of him. They kept us updated with lots of cute pictures and we'll definitely be using them again!”
“Absolutely fantastic!! Flo was well loved and looked after, long walks and plenty of cuddles. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a dogsitter. We will certainly bring Flo back whenever we go away next and are unable to bring Flo. Thank you, Sarah & family for all your support.”
“Thanks to Karmen again for looking after Madge for boarding twice in November. Madge is totally at home with the family and disappears into the house as soon as we arrive!! Thanks for the great care - I’d recommend Karmen and family to anyone for daycare or boarding.”
“If you’re looking a family environment for your dog to be a part of whilst you’re away. You’ve found it ✨ Our Labrador Moose stayed with Caro and her family for the weekend, whilst we were at a wedding. We met up for a walk before on the open fields in front of Caro’s house and after meeting Caro and Pepper (the families Labrador) and seeing where Moose would be staying, we felt couldn’t have found a more lovely family for him to stay with. We were fine to take his big bed, toys and whatever we needed and Caro was comfortable giving moose his allergy tablets. Communication was great over the weekend and we really enjoyed all the photos Caro sent us. Moose looked like he settled in really quickly - playing with Caro’s son. He was walked everyday and got to paddle in the stream and run in the fields - it looked like he had a happy holiday whilst mum and dad were away and we will definitely be rebooking. Thanks Caro, Pepper & family xx”
“Thank you to Marcus and his family for looking after my dog Bonnie keeping me informed all day and showing me a video on a long walk and she looked really happy they took great care of her and can’t thank them enough for welcoming her into their home truly recommend and will be booking again once again thank you”
“Nessa was a fantastic host, and her Cavs made great playmates for our Norfolk Terrier. Thank you Nessa for being so careful introducing our pup to your home. She will be back soon I'm sure!”
“Poppy had a great time. Zoe ket me up to date during Poppy's stay and sent over some lovely pics of her on walks. Lovely family home with 2 gorgeous spaniels. Collected a tired happy doggo, and had a stress free weekend away with dog care sorted.”
“Jordan looked after Bailey and Nova as if they were her own. She sent plenty or pictures and videos, they went on beautiful walks and I could enjoy my holiday without having to worry about them. The dogs looked happy in all pictures which shows the care and love they received. I would highly recommend Jordan.”
“It was Woody's first stay away, as soon as I arrived, I felt very comfortable with the family and the home, their son was brilliant with woody, I was nervous as woody can be anxious, but I was at ease immediately. I also struggled originally with the app but they helped me through getting it set up and the whole experience was brilliant. I will definitely use again and couldn't recommend enough, thank you so much”
“Pepper and Odin clearly had a great time, and were in fine spirits when we picked them up! Tristan was good enough to meet them before the booking as it was their first night away which was great. Comms were great and would highly recommend.”
“Daisy stayed over for 3 nights with Lauren, while we were away. She sent regular updates with photos and put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our time away, knowing that Daisy was being cared for so well! Thank you so much again x”
“Darcie clearly loves staying with Jenny. When I dropped her off last time, she was so excited to get into the house, which says everything. It’s such a relief to know she feels happy, comfortable and well looked after. I’d happily recommend Jenny to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking again.”
“My Bonnie had a wonderful time with Sarah and her family. Sarah was very quick to respond to messages pre booking and sent photos and updates every day! I would strongly recommend her and will ask her again when we go away next time!”
“We could not have wished for a better holiday home for our Labrador Indy. Karl and Nicky are very knowledgeable and offer a loving home from home. Their beautiful dog Albie was the perfect playmate and Indy enjoyed lovely walks to new and exciting places and lots of fun in the garden. We got regular photos and updates and knew that Indy was having a wonderful time. We will definitely want to book Indy in for another stay on our next holiday and could not recommend this lovely couple highly enough to take care of your beloved dog. Thank you so much Karl, Nicky and Albie.”
“Our Nala had a great time with Jess & Dom. We were sent lots of photo and video updates throughout her stay. She looked like she was was having the best time being spoilt!”
“Emma is very welcoming and caring. She accommodated an early drop off which helped us make our train which was really helpful. Emma sent us regular updates how our doggy Blue was settling in and enjoying her stay. We’ve already booked Emma again and would do so in the future. Recommend 100%. Blue was well looked after, thank you Emma.”
“I cannot recommend Hollie enough - she has been an absolute dream to deal with. Kind enough for me to pop over ahead of the booking so that our dog, Barney, was introduced to her and her lovely dogs. Hollie very thoughtfully kept us in touch with what Barney was up to and really taking care of him during the intense heat we’ve been experiencing. She loves dogs and it really shows through. Thank you Hollie - it’s really appreciated and I have another date to talk to you about! xx”
“Steph and her boyfriend have been amazing with Zaky! We met a week in advancd so that Zaky could see them and the flat.

Sarah is amazing! I can’t recommend her enough. She looked after our 2 dogs while we went on a last minute Summer holiday. She and her family provide a real ‘home away from home’ and after 5 minutes of meeting her I knew our dogs would be well cared for. We had a meet and greet session prior which was really useful - and she provided pictures almost daily. Would highly recommend 5⭐️
Lovely couple who took such excellent care of my lively working spaniel. I could see how content and well cared for Pippin was. They gave us regular updates and photos too! They even brought Pippin to our wedding so we could get some photos with her. Would highly highly recommend
Tristan and his family were very welcoming to my dog Dora and I when we arrived for Dora’s first boarding with them. Tristan was very easy to keep in touch with in the lead up to Dora’s stay and while she was there. He kindly sent me a couple of photos to update me regarding how Dora was settling in. I was very happy indeed with Tristan’s service and I would not hesitate to recommend Tristan as a friendly and helpful sitter.
Bobby has just had another fantastic stay with Karmen! He gets lots of attention and exercise, just as he likes it. He is always happy to arrive at Karmen's, and we have peace of mind knowing he's getting the best possible care. Thank you, Karmen, Gandalf and the boys! :)
We are so happy we found Christina and Reece to look after Indie. They gave her such a loving and fun environment while we were away. They shared updates and photos which really helped us to know she was having a lovely time. We would thoroughly recommend them to look after your pets.
Lydia, Toby and their lovely dog Hector looked after our Border Terrier while we got married. They sent regular photos and updates and even went to the trouble of sending us an excellent of photo of our dog Leo next for a sign they had made wishing us a happy wedding. They truly went above and beyond and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave Leo with them again. Their dog Hector was so friendly and Leo has made a new friend. Thank you so much!
Jordan was extremely warm and flexible with our dog Phoebe. We loved how Phoebe had ample space to run about and have fun. It was such a warm and loving environment in Jordan’s home, which Phoebe thrives in. She is an anxious dog but Jordan had a lot of patience with her. There were also regular check-ins and pictures provided to give us some reassurance that Phoebe was doing ok! Jordan was fantastic from the start and we will definitely book with her again.
Jenni was really interested in the dogs, looked after them well and we had great communication, keeping us informed about everything. We had a visit with her prior to our stay, so everyone could meet, we could see where the dogs would be staying and discuss all the needs of the dogs and their routines, which was very useful. Jenni is very kind, considerate and mindful of all requirements for the dogs and making sure their humans are kept informed. Many thanks.
I was so impressed with Lara and Simon, they did a fantastic job with my old pointer, Tilly. Tilly's very clingy and has a special diet, so she's not the easiest to look after, but they were really accommodating and did such an amazing job of making her feel welcome and keeping her happy! I would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking for a dogsitter ❤️

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Mid Sussex
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mid Sussex on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,085 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mid Sussex. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
