“Linnet looked after our 7 month old pup whilst we went out of town for an event for the night. Being a Viszla X Collie our pup is highly energetic and driven but Linnet provided a safe place for him to be away from his usual home. Linnet kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the booking which was highly appreciated. ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ definitely recommend”
“This is the second time I have used Dorothy and once again, she was absolutely fantastic. I could tell she really enjoyed having Kora and could tell Kora really enjoyed her stay. A great sitter, who tailors things to suit you and your pet perfectly. Thanks Dorothy”
“Amber is missing Wilf! Thank you Graham, Amber had a lovely stay with you and so pleased that Amber and Wilf have become besties! The photo's and updates were brilliant, especially as Amber has not had very good previous boarding experiences from so called "local licenced boarders in Seagrave and Seilby in Leicestershire". We will definitely be using you again!!”
“Victoria was brilliant from start to finish. Quick and easy to communicate with for the booking and during Mylo’s stay. Mylo was happy during his stay and well cared for. I would have no hesitation using Victoria again and would highly recommend her. Thank you Victoria! ☺️”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love having them as part of the family. Growing up, I had a Labrador who was my best friend and now I have a friendly Golden Cocker Spaniel puppy who loves meeting and playing with other dogs. I live right next to a large field where I take my dog for walks every day, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and enrichment. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply exploring new scents, I’ll make sure they have a fun and enjoyable stay. I work from home on the days I offer pet care, which means your dog will have company throughout the day. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention while you’re away, so I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication requirements, and any special instructions. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is having a great time. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! Why choose me? * Lifelong dog owner with experience caring for Labradors and Spaniels * Friendly resident Golden Cocker Spaniel for companionship and play * Daily walks in a large nearby field * Work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone * Plenty of love, attention, and regular updates for owners * Happy to accommodate individual routines and needs I work from home so have plenty of time at home to look after your pup. I walk my dog three times a day, morning, lunch and in the evening. But am happy to accompany to your dogs exercise needs. I have a fully fenced garden with grass to explore. I have a golden cocker spaniel who loves other dogs and to play. I also have a crate that can accommodate a cocker spaniel size or smaller if needed. We also have child gates in the house to make sure they are safe.
About: 🐾 I'm a genuine dog lover who has grown up around dogs my whole life, so I'm very comfortable caring for them and understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. 🐾 I love spending time outdoors and enjoy long walks, so your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. Whether they love energetic adventures or a gentle stroll, I'm happy to match their pace and make sure they have a great time. 🐾 I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust. I'll treat your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Along with walks, I'm always happy to provide lots of fuss, playtime, cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and companionship to help them feel relaxed and loved. I work part-time, which gives me the flexibility and availability to provide your dog with the time, care, and attention they deserve. I love being outdoors and regularly go on walks, so your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, fresh air, and companionship. Whether it's a longer countryside walk or a stroll around the local area, I'll make sure they're happy, active, and well looked after throughout the day.

Whether they're relaxing indoors or exploring the garden, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for throughout their stay.
“Pamela was absolutely amazing!! Our pups loved their time there with such a big garden to play in! I look forward to bringing them over again soon hopefully as I know they would love to go back!”

Georgia and George have just home boarded my spaniel, Daymer, for a long week end for the first time and everything went very well. Over the weekend I had a number of updates and photos and Daymer was clearly very relaxed and happy. Thank you Georgia and I will certainly be using your services again. JG

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Newark on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 East Midlands 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 .
