“So glad I booked a day for Button with Linnet! She was so lovely greeting us at the door and sent photos and updates throughout the day! Couldn’t have asked for better! Fantastic lady and fantastic attitude and I would highly recommend Linnet and will definitely book in the future for other days/nights when needed - thank you!! 🩵”
“Our old doggy Bob stayed with Nigel for two nights. He recently lost his owner and had to relocate to our home so we were looking for a home setting so as not to disturb him too much. We found the perfect place, Nigel was warm and welcoming of us and Bob along with all his little quirks! When we picked him up he had made himself very at home. He certainly had a lot of love whilst he stayed with Nigel, thank you so much for looking after Bob so well. Would thoroughly recommend Nigel as a trusted carer.”
“Victoria did an excellent job of looking after Juniper for a couple of nights. Her home is spacious and dog friendly, with an enclosed garden. We had a good number of photos showing how Junie was getting on, both out on walks and relaxing at home. It's obvious that Victoria is both very caring but also practical and organised in her approach to looking after dogs. We'd highly recommend her.”
“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”
“Charys is a lovely lady who , loves dogs . She connected with our dog Betsy at the initial meet and greet and totally reassured us with her knowledge and care of looking after dogs. Charys has a lovely home and enclosed garden and was very relaxed about Betsy having the freedom to explore . Whilst away Charys gave us daily updates with photos. I highly recommend Charys and Betsy will definitely be back for another stay.”
About: I’ve had experience with dogs, especially for the whole of my life. Since I was born, I had grown up around dogs so I know they mannerisms quite well. From a HUGE mutt who loved to chase rabbits and a Feisty jack tussle to a tiny yapping sausage dog I’m capable of either. To ease your mind, I have also studied animal management for two years, and I have a certificate and a diploma to show for it. while I attended I walked a few of the resident dogs who had a wide range of behavioural issues such as reactivity. And lastly, I also worked with a greyhound rescue for awhile so it’s safe to say I am very used to dogs that like to pull! I am working full time so Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with most Saturdays I will not be free. Unfortunately my schedule is tricky but I’m always willing to find the perfect time to help manage your own busy schedules. For now I’m only going to provide dog walking services around your own area, so I will be driving to you. I will not provide any leads, harnesses or muzzles so please make sure your own dog has the appropriate restraint.
“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!!”

“We are so grateful to have found Ian & Asli, they took such good care of our dog (1yr old cockapoo). I was nervous as it was my first time leaving her with someone new, but I immediately felt comfortable after the meet & greet, and dropping her off for her stay. Ian & Asli kept us updated with lots of photos and videos of her playing, relaxing and out on walks. We’re looking forward to Lily returning for a longer stay in June. We would recommend Ian & Asli to anyone needing care for their dog!”
“Ellie was great with Basil! Good communication and it was lovely to get some photos of him while I was away. He settled quite quickly, I understand, which gave me reassurance. Really recommend Ellie to anyone! Thank you for looking after my boy so well.”

Thank you Pamela for taking such good care of Florence. She had a wonderful time during her week with you. Being able to relax on holiday knowing that she was happy, well cared for is the best feeling ever. Getting the daily photos and little videos were something to look forward to and much appreciated. It’s a 90 mile round trip for us but I wouldn’t leave Florence with anyone else! I know that she’s in the best possible homely environment and well loved! Thanks again and sorry she stole your dinner 🫣
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 .
