“Wendy was absolutely wonderful! I was anxious about leaving Tado over night unsure how he'd cope but he soon settled, I was updated with images throughout his stay. I could not recommend Wendy enough and wouldn't hesitate for Tado's next holiday !”
“Our two dogs settled really quickly in Kate's home. It was the first time we'd left them anywhere overnight and we felt happy and relaxed that they were in good, safe, caring hands. Would definitely recommend 🩷🩷”
“We are so lucky we found Pete, Emma and Sirius the dalmation to look after our dog Misty while we were in holiday, they are such a lovely family and they welcomed Misty into their home for a week making her part of their family. We got regular updates, messages, photos and videos which made a massive difference to our holiday actually seeing her having a fabulous holiday of her own. Everything from the first contact via Rover to the end of Misty's stay was smooth and stress free for us, Pete and Emma are such calm confident people, at our initial meeting at the park we felt very confident they were going to look after Misty as their own and that reassured us we had chosen correctly. I would not hesitate to ask the family to take care of Misty again and if I could give 10 stars in this review that still wouldn't be enough to show how highly we rate them.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience! ❤️ Teddy was so well looked after and clearly felt completely at home. I received regular photos and updates throughout the week, which was so reassuring that I genuinely didn't worry about him at all. They were incredibly kind, caring and attentive, and I could see how happy and relaxed Teddy was with them. I think he had such a lovely holiday of his own that he wasn't particularly keen to come home! 😂 I couldn't have asked for better people to look after him and would happily leave Teddy with them again. Highly recommend! ❤️”

“Kay and her family gave Lady a home from home experience. With regular updates and photos of the fun they have had while Lady was in their care. Kay made me and my partner feel very comfortable and reassured Lady was in safe and loving hands. I am wholeheartedly thankful for Kay for making not only Lady’s but our experience so blissful. As it was our first time leaving Lady since we took ownership of her when my partners mam sadly passed a year ago. We could not recommended Kay more.”
“Ellie was fantastic with Grace. Easy to talk to and arrange, quick at replying, trusting and sends photos if requested. Lovely home Grace came out very happy will be booking Grace in again 😊”
“I cannot thank both Alice and Timmy enough for looking after our spaniel Bella. We've always been fortunate to have family available to mind Bella if we go on holiday, but with a family wedding, it required us looking for someone to mind her. We were quite anxious picking someone but needn't have worried once we chose Alice. She was extremely responsive throughout, asking all the right questions which put our minds at ease. Very much appreciated all the pictures she sent whilst we were away, we feel like Bella was cared for just like their own. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking - we will certainly be booking again should we ever need! Xx”
About: I've been around dogs for over 30 years and love them. A wonderful friend suggested dog sitting and i think it's a fab idea. I know dogs are not humans and need gentle and loving car . . . Actually a bit like humans! But without the explaining, i guess I work, but generally between 09:00 - 14:30 max. With 30 minutes travel time. The work day would start and end with a walk. Food afterwards. I feel it better to eat after exercise. I like to share, sofas, beds and little treats from my meals _ if ok I have a fully fenced rear garden, with lawn & hedge. Open lawned front garden. North facing, rear kitchen diner with patio doors _ so nice and cool and quiet (but with plenty of birds and an occasional cat to add interest). Doggie height front room window to say 'hello' as the neighbourhood passes by. Wooden floors and sofas downstairs and a my bed to sleep on upstairs _ unless suggested otherwise. Dog walking field a few minutes one way and duck pond ten minutes the other. Wonderful beaches at seaton canoe 20 mins away.
“Sian made me feel comfortable and at ease to leave Reggie with her she was very welcoming and nice Reggie absolutely loved it she kept me up to date with pics and messages and this helped a lot knowing he had settled absolutely perfect sitter !”
“Catherine looked after my sisters 2 dogs exceptionally well. The 2 daschunds are v nervous and wary of people but Catherine did a great job of settling them in and caring for them at short notice. Lots of photos and updates throughout the stay, would not hesitate to recommend her especially if you have quite nervous dogs, thank you Catherine x”

“Having been let down by another sitter we found Andrew what impressed me was the personal write up on his profile, due to the fact we have 2 rescue dogs we thought Andrew’s previous experience would be perfect and this turned out to be correct Dexter & Holly have just returned after a one night trial and all has gone well, before booking this we went through with the dogs to see if we could introduce them and see how it went Due to Andrew’s perfect calm nature the dogs settled to our amazement really well and Holly fell in love with Andrew The overnight stay has gone well even though the dogs seemed more anxious when dropping off Dexter who we thought may be an issue settled straight away but through patients and staying away Holly settled after 2 hours I would highly recommend Andrew but reluctant as I don’t want him to become too busy so we can’t get back booked in 😂 It has been a pleasure dealing with Andrew and his lovely partner Sian we feel blessed to have found such a lovely caring perfect dog sitter and now booking up for our dogs when we go on Holiday Regards Colin & Nicky”

Great service and excellent communication. Mabel went to Ellie at very short notice due to family sickness. Ellie made things very easy and worked around our schedule to accommodate us. Mabel settled in really well and in her photo looked very chilled. We thank Ellie again and would definitely recommend her.
Rusudan & her lovely Family took wonderful loving care of my 6 year old Cockapoo Dog Rocky over Christmas for 4 days recently. We had an initial 40 minute meeting with Rocky at their house, a week before, to get everyone acquainted. I knew from the moment I stepped into their house, how welcoming and warm they were & how settled immediately Rocky and I were. During Rockys stay with Rusudan & her family, communication was great. Lots of photos, and letting me know how he was. As soon as I messaged every morning to check on him, I got an immediate response. I’d highly recommend this lovely family to take care of your dog anytime. I will most certainly be asking them to look after Rocky again in the future. Thank you so very much Rusudan & Family, for taking such good loving care of Rocky. I appreciate you all greatly. Kind Regards, I’ll be in touch again soon. Lots of Love. ❤️🐶🤗👏🐕🎄 xx

When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 317 sitters in Middlesbrough, 72% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
