“Rocky had the best time with Dani and Dougie. We got regular updates about all his walks and the people he met who all loved him. We got photos and you could see how happy he was everytime. Dont think he was happy about us picking him up from his holiday from home. He was spoiled. Would recommend to everyone and will book again without a doubt. Thank you Dani and Dougie 🐾”
“Monica was really lovely and friendly. She was accommodating for willows needs and was also communicative throughout willows stay. She sent photos and updates consistently, which were really appreciated as this was my first time leaving Willow with anyone. I would definitely recommend Monika!😊”
“Kirsty was really quick to respond for a last minute sitting. She was amazing in keeping me up to date with how Harris was adjusting. He clearly seemed to have a great time as there was no energy left in him when he got back home. Kirsty is very reliable, professional, and accomodating. Could not recommend her more!!!”
“Jemma was amazing watching our dog Alfie for our wedding. She sent us photos and videos while we were away and kept us upto date with how he was. Highly recommended her 🩷”
“When we left our four month old puppy, Tweed with Derek it was the first time we had left him. So, inevitably we were worried as to how he (and we) would cope. But Derek welcomed us and Tweed and any worries we had soon ebbed away. Frequent updates with videos and pictures told us that Tweed was having a great day and being well looked after. We were able to relax and enjoy our day too. We don’t even think he missed us (not even a little bit Tweed?). Many grateful thanks to Derek and his wife from us and Tweed. We will be booking again.”
“Nicky watched our wee pomeranian Snowy & she is absolutely amazing with him ❤️ Snowy fell in love with Nicky straight away & guarded her with his life 🤣 He wouldn't even allow her husband to go near her🙈🤣 Nicky is so sweet, welcoming & kind, she sent me lots of photos of Snowy & any updates 💕 We will definitely have Nicky watch Snowy again 💕 I highly recommend Nicky 💯💕”
“Thank you Jessica for looking after Isotta! She’s obviously having is absolutely shattered and I think has very much enjoyed all the walks and attention ☺️ doesn’t even seem all that thrilled to be home 😔”
“What a lovely couple and so nice to get Skye back well exercised and clearly having enjoyed her time. Claire sent me a message daily with an update on how Skye was with a photo or video which meant we could totally relax that she was in good hands. Clare was incredibly accommodating when I had to change details and really quick to reply. In short, I would not hesitate for a second to recommend your dog stayed with Clare, she was amazing.”
“Judit and her family were wonderful, I don't think Minnow wanted to leave! Judit sent me regular updates and was very considerate of Minnow and me. Would 100% recommend and use again! Thanks :)”
“Bluebell is quite particular about who gets let in to her inner circle and Avril and Clark are now definitely members. I was a bit anxious since she was diagnosed with diabetes earlier this year as she has to eat to get the insulin and she can be funny with new people and places but I needn’t have worried. She had a lovely time, I got loads of updates and I would definitely recommend Avril.”
“Fi had a lovely stay with Michael. He did everything to ensure that Fi was as comfortable as possible and made sure that Fi's meal times were exactly as they were at home. He sent me beautiful photos of Fi daily and I could see how happy my girl was enjoying her stay. I can't thank him and Sandra enough. Your 4 legged friends will be well looked after during their stay.”
“Nicole - Claire is amazing. She cared for our very precious labradoodle for a week in September. We got regular updates which were super reassuring and great to see him having such a wonderful time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and am sure we will be asking her to have him to stay again. This is the first time we have used Rover and it’s been a very good experience.”
“Oh my goodness, I cannot praise Kim highly enough, she was absolutely brilliant with my very sensitive poodle from start to finish - plus I received regular reassuring updates throughout his stay - I shall definitely be booking with Kim again, Kipper loved her!!”
“I couldn't recommend Marcela enough! This was the first time I'd left my puppy with a dog sitter, so I was naturally a bit little nervous, but she made the whole experience so easy! She made sure I felt comfortable, kept me updated with lots of photos and videos, and it was clear Picanha was happy and well looked after 😍 Marcela was also really reliable and flexible with timings, which I really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I'll definitely book with her again in the future, and I'd happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter. Thanks so much, Marcela ❤️”
About: I grew up with large dogs breeds and have owned my Rottweiler for 7 years. She is currently on an extended visit with my parents so there is no other dogs in the home. I recently closed my business so I will be able to dedicate 100% of my time and energy to caring for your dog. As someone who owns my own dog, I know how stressful it can be to trust someone to care for them - I can provide a safe, loving home with a large fenced garden offering security and peace of mind. I recently closed my business and am taking some time to recalibrate and rest. This means that I have no daytime commitments beside your furry friend. I have a fenced in 1 acre garden that your pet will be able to enjoy fully without any risk. I normally have two dogs, a spaniel and a Rottweiler but both are with my parents till the end of the year so it’ll be just me and your pet/s.
“Excelent care for my 9 months puppy. They have a happy and caring environment. Nick and Gin are very kind and helpful. Constant communication during the 10 days my puppy was with them. We will repeat with them for sure Well done both!”

Absolutely unbelievable boarders, we left our Doberman with this lovely couple for 2 weeks, we felt anxious as our dog is a big nervous boy but these guys welcomed him in like their own and looked after him so well that we were scared he wouldn’t want to come back! Would highly recommend and will be using solely their services from now on. Amazing!
Anne was great with Baxter. We left Baxter with Anne while we were away on holiday and it was great knowing he was in such good hands. He was really well looked after, happy and clearly had a brilliant time. Anne provided regular updates which gave us real peace of mind while we were away, and we wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with Anne again in the future. Thanks so much for taking such good care of him!
Highly recommend Jemma and Keira. They looked after Freya as if she were their own and despite being timid, she was so comfortable by the end! Also provided plenty of updates for me upon request, and were flexible when I asked for another day of care. Really impressed!
Nicky watched our wee pomeranian Snowy & she is absolutely amazing with him ❤️ Snowy fell in love with Nicky straight away & guarded her with his life 🤣 He wouldn't even allow her husband to go near her🙈🤣 Nicky is so sweet, welcoming & kind, she sent me lots of photos of Snowy & any updates 💕 We will definitely have Nicky watch Snowy again 💕 I highly recommend Nicky 💯💕
My rescue dog Bonnie had the best time with Emer. I got some lovely updates while we were away on their activities which included a trip to an agility dog park and a pup cup... Bonnie seemed disappointed to be leaving them at the end of the weekend, which is a huge testament to the care and attention she would have gotten. Thanks so much to you both for giving Bon such a wonderful weekend 😊
Jo looked after our dog for 2 weeks and was very accommodating of his little quirks. I felt like he was in a really safe pair of hands, as well as having doggy company with Jo’s own dog. Jo has great communication both ahead of the stay and regular updates while we were on holiday.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Cassandra and her family. They were honestly amazing with our dogs and made the whole thing so easy for us. Even when there were a couple of little tummy issues with one of our dogs, she handled it so calmly and kept us updated, which really put our minds at ease. It’s never easy leaving your dogs with someone else, but we felt completely comfortable knowing they were being so well looked after. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for better. Such a lovely family — would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone to care for their dogs.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Midlothian on Rover is £31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £25 and £46 per night.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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 953 sitters in Midlothian, 68% 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.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
