“Shay is lovely. We needed a sitter in a hurry and we're lucky Shay was available. Communication was good and she was very accommodating. Enough updates that we knew Laika was ok on her first stay, but not too many. It was in a really hot day, so Shay adapted walks, etc. to make sure laika could keep cool. I'm sure we'll use Shay again.”

“Skylar was amazing with our puppy and also very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times! She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent lots of photos as well. Our boy really enjoyed his time with her😊”

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) based in Milton Keynes, offering calm, reliable, and compassionate care for pets of all ages. I’ve spent years working closely with animals, and I love creating a safe, relaxed environment where they feel understood and genuinely cared for. My RVN background means I’m confident supporting pets with medication, senior‑pet needs, post‑operative routines, and recognising early signs of stress or illness. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or has specific medical or behavioural needs, I adapt my care to suit them. I can also follow and carry out your training routine. I’m gentle, patient, and very attentive, and I always follow your instructions carefully. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own. If you’d like to chat or arrange a meet‑and‑greet, I’d be happy to hear from you. I keep a flexible weekly routine, which allows me to fit pet care in comfortably and reliably. I plan my days around the pets I’m looking after, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, visits, and any extra needs. I’m also available for morning walks, which many pets enjoy as part of their routine. I never overbook, so your pet always gets calm, focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home: I follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure and settled. I take time to understand their habits, feeding schedule, favourite spots, and any medical or behavioural needs. As an RVN, I’m confident recognising early signs of stress or discomfort, and I always prioritise calm, gentle handling. I keep your home tidy and secure, and I send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in my home: I provide a quiet, relaxed environment with plenty of space for pets to settle in. I only take pets from one family at a time, so your pet receives my full attention and never has to worry about overcrowding or unfamiliar animals. I also have a very friendly resident cat who used to be a clinic cat — he’s calm, social, and used to meeting new animals in a gentle, controlled way. Introductions are always slow and safe, and I only allow interactions if everyone is comfortable. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first. I use my RVN experience to ensure safe handling, clean environments, and careful monitoring, while keeping everything warm, patient, and reassuring. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I aim to create a calm, predictable space where pets feel secure and understood.
About: I had a dog since I was 6 years old and took care of him through his diabetes as he grew older. I can administer insulin injections and eyedrops, and am good at getting dogs to swallow pills. Towards the end of my dogs life, I was able to feed him using syringes so am very experienced with older dogs, and can adapt to the individual needs of your dog. I have also dog sat for younger dogs as well as large dogs, so am able to deal with all ages and sizes. Im a university student, currently at home full time during my summer holidays. This means I will be available most times for pet care and am very flexible. I have a large garden with fences all around, making it impossible for the pet to sneakily escape, whilst providing a fun area for dogs to play in. I have air conditioning inside my kitchen so it will stay cool for the dogs during these hot summer days.
About: I’ve had pets all my life including cats, dogs, hamsters, Guinea pigs, mice, rabbits and birds! I’m a true animal-lover and working with them is my dream job. I’m currently working part-time (4 hours per day) so will have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur-babies. I am available during the week (afternoons and evenings) and at weekends most of the time. I have a large fenced garden and a dog and 3 cats to keep your fur-babies company. My children are also avid animal-lovers so plenty of people to give cuddles and play with.
“This was our first time with Lai Yan. Kasper really enjoyed his day. Such a clean, comfortable home. Very considerate about Kasper’s needs, caring and gentle and provided a lot of updates and pictures to reassure us. They are very friendly and patient. Highly recommend and will definitely come back.”


“Orsi is a brilliant dog sitter! My pup goes to see Orsi 3 days a week and always comes away happy, exercised and socialised! She sends me photos throughout the day so that I can see what they have been getting up to and is flexible around my chaotic work schedule! I've used 3 other dog sitters before and Orsi has been by far the best! Very pleased with everything she does!”
“Poppy had a lovely first visit with Mandy. She came home relaxed and happy and had obviously been well cared for. Mandy kept in touch with messages and photos which was very reassuring for me. I will happily book Mandy when I need care for Poppy again.”

“It warmed my heart to see Deyka happy playing well with Jackson, and vice versa. Reminds me that I've done a good job with him. And, it showed me how loved Jackson has been by Simon and Joanna. I had complete piece of mind throughout, and you can't put a price on that. Have already booked again, for more fun playful photo ops! 😋 Thanks, guys.”

“Exceptional service! Arathi provided an outstanding care for Skye while we were away for a day trip. Her regular updates from Milton Keynes kept us reassured and informed, showcasing her professional and caring approach. Skye was happy and well-cared for in our absence, a testament to Arathi's dedication and love for pets. Highly recommend for anyone needing a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”

About: 💛 Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi, I’m Nicole — a loving pet sitter and proud mom to a five-year-old. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and even fish. From newborn animals who need gentle, round-the-clock care to senior pets who require patience and extra attention, I always adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. 🐶 Professional Experience & Training I hold a Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Training, which allows me to understand canine body language and respond in a calm, positive, and reassuring way. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, reactive, or simply needs companionship, I focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. 💊 Special Care Skills I am also experienced in administering oral medication (tablets and liquid), always prioritising your pet’s comfort and reducing stress during the process. 👩👧 Personal Touch As a mother, I’ve developed strong patience, empathy, and responsibility — qualities that naturally extend into how I care for animals. I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. As a mother, I spend most of my time at home, so I have the flexibility to care for pets and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. With years of experience caring for Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and fish, I provide compassionate, tailored pet care in my home or the pet owner’s home, depending on the service offered. My Certificate in Dog Behavior and Training enhances my ability to understand canine body language, ensuring calm and positive interactions, while my experience with diverse animals allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs, from playful newborns to senior pets requiring extra patience. In-Home Pet Sitting: In the owner’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, watering, and administering oral medications (pills or liquids) gently to minimize stress. I provide exercise, such as walks for dogs or interactive play for cats, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. For example, I might engage a Shiba Inu with a brisk walk or play feather games with a British Shorthair. I monitor health and behavior closely, offering reassurance to shy or anxious pets and maintaining a clean environment by tidying litter boxes or feeding areas. Dog Walking or Daily Visits: For dog walking, I customize routes and durations to suit each dog’s needs, from energetic Chihuahuas to senior pups, always carrying water and owner-approved treats. During daily visits, I provide feeding, play, or litter box cleaning, ensuring consistency. I send photo updates to keep owners informed. My gentle approach to medication administration and understanding of pet behavior ensure every animal feels loved and secure. I communicate regularly with owners to provide peace of mind, adapting my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether furry, feathery, or finned.
“Lucie was very friendly and took care of Nacho very well. She took Nacho for long walks and got him settled (as he was very excited at the beginning). She provided frequent updates and we were very happy with the service overall.”

About: DBS checked and experience with pets. Myself have 2 dogs and experienced in caring for cats and small pets of all personalities, from playful kittens to anxious large breed dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I focus on building trust, keeping routines consistent, and making pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to plan visits and spend quality time with each pet. Whether it’s a morning check-in, playtime, or evening cuddles, I can easily adjust my schedule to make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain their usual routine and sense of comfort. I make sure food, water, and litter are kept clean and safe, and I pay attention to doors, windows, and any house rules to prevent escapes or accidents. I take time to build trust with each pet — moving at their pace, offering gentle interaction, and creating a calm, caring environment where they feel secure and loved.
“Kai took excellent care of my girls, giving extra care and reassurance given the heatwave. Even my uber driver commented on how happy they looked when I went to pick them up :)”

Shay is lovely. We needed a sitter in a hurry and we're lucky Shay was available. Communication was good and she was very accommodating. Enough updates that we knew Laika was ok on her first stay, but not too many. It was in a really hot day, so Shay adapted walks, etc. to make sure laika could keep cool. I'm sure we'll use Shay again.

Shreya was so professional and exceptionally clean home! I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with her after having a great meet and greet. This was the first time my baby was away from me so I was very nervous but everything was perfect - loads of updates and beautiful photos! I got my baby back and she was calm and very happy! 5/5 and will certainly use Shreya again! And her own dog Riley was an angel too 😇

Leanne and her family were so lovely, we instantly knew we could trust her with our fur baby. She's a natural and she has so much love for the doggies, she puts all of her love and care into them. Koko loved her and so did we, Leanne will definitely be our new dog sitter from now. Koko came home do happy and so tired from having the best day ever!!!!!

Perfect dog sitters for Phoebe. Nothing seemed to much trouble! We were so nervous to leave her with someone new but were reassured straight away by seeing a video and pictures of Phoebe playing and relaxing! We will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much :).

Kristina and her partner were excellent. They helped me out with a super last minute booking after an issue with another sitter. They took excellent care of my German Shepherd pup and even gave him a thorough brushing! 100% recommend and would book with again.

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

There are 1,669 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Milton Keynes. About 87% of Milton Keynes 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 Milton Keynes 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 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.
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 .
