“Lucy was fantastic with Bella who has a wonderful time on her 1 night break. Lucy double checked with us about her food and being off lead before we left. Lucy also kept us updated with photos whilst Bella was with her. Would definitely recommend Lucy and would have no hesitation in booking Bella with her again”
“Could not recommend Emily and her partner enough! Kindly accepted our request as we were let down at last minute from our usual sitter and we’re going on holiday in a matter of days. They made Ella feel like part of the family and she has come back absolutely full of life. Emily sent us pictures and updates throughout Ella’s stay and for future holidays will absolutely be using Emily again! Thank you :)”
“Meisha was absolutely brilliant! She booked a meet and greet for us, and her and Freddy hit it off from the start. We fully trusted Meisha, and Freddy felt so at home there - he even got to visit her family which was super sweet, a real “one of the family” feeling. She went above and beyond to make Freddy comfortable and stick to his usual routines, and knew everything about him (we really appreciated it and knew he was in safe hands). We’ll definitely book Meisha again - can’t thank her enough! x”
“Karen was a perfect person to care for our Border Collie, Siân. She has a wealth of experience with and understanding of dogs, but she is also very kind, welcoming and accommodating. She really took care to think what would be best for Siân. Moreover, we really enjoyed meeting Karen and wish we lived closer to be able to have her as a regular person in our and Siân's lives!”
“Shelby and her partner were really attentive with our Daschund, Minnie. Minnie is a really needy dog and suffers from separation anxiety but settled really well with Shelby:) she was really well looked after whilst we were away for the weekend and could relax knowing Minnie was well cared for. highly recommend Shelby to care for your dogs!”
“Our little schnauzer Ike enjoyed his stay and enjoyed the company of other dogs. He's quite anxious and quirky but got on well with Camerons dog and others who visited. Cameron was very good with him and put my mind at rest!”
“Absolutely outstanding dog sitter. Diego was so well looked after and cared for throughout. I received constant messages, photos and videos which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. You can genuinely see the love and attention given to him, and I could not have wished for a better person to look after my dog. Highly recommended and I would not hesitate to use again.”
“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tracy and family. Our 2 dogs had the best stay and Tracy went over and above with care of our little Daschund who had recently hurt her back. Tracy’s husband is like the dog whisperer and our nervous dog went straight up to him on her first visit which is unheard of. Amazing service, such lovely people and home.”
“I am just incredibly grateful and happy I found Joseph C. We had a really big dilemma finding someone to look after our miniature schnauzer ahead of a week’s holiday planned in September. My mind was already at ease when we went to meet her - Lola was so relaxed when we went there (she can usually barks when she first meets someone but she didn’t at all!!) While we were away, we were sent updates and I can clearly see from the images that Lola had a great time. 5 stars from me - thank you for looking after our baby 🥰”
“It's been an absolute pleasure to leave Lola with Sue, she is such a lovely lady and took such good care of Lola. We are very confident that we have found the right person to leave Lola with whenever we need to. I actually think Lola didn't want to come home. Thank you Sue”
“Very professional and friendly service, very knowledgable around dogs, even larger breeds like mine. She kept me updated the whole way through, even sending photos/videos. Would highly recommend and use services again.”
“Fabiana is a fanatic host. It's clear that she pays a lot of attention to each individual dog and their needs. She took the time to get to know our dog and made sure he was introduced nicely to her own dog, home and family. Our dog had a great time and we'll be booking again with Fabiana soon!”
“I would 1000% recommend anyone to choose Ellie to look after their dogs. She’s an absolute angel and you can really tell she loves looking after them, both Ellie and Liam took amazing care of my dog and treated her like their own, we also received regular updates on how she was doing as well as picture and videos which was really sweet. We couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely use her again and again 🫶🏼🐶”
“Meg was really good with Alfred, she was excellent at communication and followed all instructions. Thanks A lot for looking after Alfred, he came back happy and relaxed. Recommend and would definitely book Meg again!”
“Theo had a good familiarisation stay overnight with David before his main holiday with him in August and he got on very well. David kept us well informed of things and provided photos.”
“This was my first using Rover and subsequently George and Rebecca. I was a little anxious as we we have only had our rescue Doberman 6 months and this isn’t our usual boarder. We also have a GSD who is used to boarding so no worries with her. We met with George and Lemmy initially and the dogs all got on fantastic, we left the dogs with them for 10 days and we got updates daily, pictures of their amazing walks and routines. I found that very reassuring and they looked like they were just in their own home. Our Dobe is raw fed and this was no trouble. Will definitely leave Lando and Luna with George and Rebecca, no hesitation. Very much appreciated, thank you Sarah, Andy, Luna and Lando”
“We were very pleased with the care our dog got whilst staying with Jo and family. He was very anxious at first but with help from medication and Jo’s interaction he settled towards the end of the week. She had him at short notice and he had a few meetings with her beforehand. Overall, we made a great decision for our dog to stay there. Thank you Jo and family x”
“We used Rover for the first time in May 2022. The service was very straightforward and efficient. Our Jack Russell Buddy went to spend a week with Becki. We arranged a meet and greet before he went. Which made us feel really comfortable that he would be fine. During our week Becki sent photos, videos and kind messages. She was amazing with Buddy. He had a brilliant week and I would definitely recommend Becki to others. Thank you so much we'll certainly be in touch in the future.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in North East Derbyshire is £30
Dog owners share their Rover experiences - North East Derbyshire
Buddy has been to the kennels in the past when we couldn’t arrange with close family, but we had a terrible experience. Never again we said. So we began looking for the right person. Meg came to meet us and buddy on a cold icy morning, which doing so spoke volumes as she gave up her own time. Meg asked all the right questions and it was sealed when buddy leaned against Meg, which is his way of showing he trusts someone. After a couple of day boarding successes he stayed for a few nights last week and after de briefing us, Buddy said he had a great time. We had plenty of updates. Thanks Meg ☺️👍🏻 Thank you.
Shelby was absolutely wonderful with Sky. From the moment we met her, Sky was relaxed and comfortable, which gave us great peace of mind. Shelby was fantastic at communicating throughout Sky’s stay, keeping us updated regularly and sending lots of lovely photos. It was clear that Sky was having a great time, and when we picked her up, she looked so happy and content. We couldn’t be happier with the care Shelby provided during Sky’s sleepover. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, caring, and trustworthy to look after their furry family member!
Antonia was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! I booked with her at very short notice and dropped by dog off without a meet and greet (my choice) but my dog settled straight away. I received pictures and updates throughout the weekend and picked a happy doggy up! I was also a few hours later than anticipated but Antonia was very understanding. Thanks so much Antonia, I highly recommend you :)
Wilf had his first sleepover at Nicola’s and seems to have loved every minute. No anxiety and slept through the night despite it being his first night away from us since we got him. Feel really reassured now that he’s fine staying away from home when necessary. Nicola did everything to accommodate his routine, sleeping arrangements, new food, and aslo gave him the meds he’s on this week. Thankyou! ❤️
Amazing! Our 15 year old dog Penny had a great time staying at Claire's house for 3 nights. Claire provided provided detailed updates regularly with plenty of photos. She also drove to our house to collect Penny's food that Amazon delivered after we left for our trip. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Claire again and highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in North East Derbyshire on Rover is £31.05 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 .
