“This being my first time leaving my dogs, i can honestly say i've never been more happier. Both dogs were more than happy with Bradley which was great to see from my more nervous people cocker spaniel and my puppy was clearly enjoying herself and having fun playing with Lincoln. Whilst ollie the older cocker spaniel enjoyed quuer cuddles. Bradley sent us plenty of pictures of them which was really reassuring and responded quickly to any questions we had. Will certainly use Bradley again as its always nice when you find a home from home that your dogs are settled and comfortable with. Would also recommend to friends.”
“Would highly recommend Laura. She clearly absolutely loves dogs and was lovely with our very energetic pup! Laura took Zelda on some wonderful walks in the fields, and sent us some very cute photos to keep us updated. We felt like Zelda was in really safe hands and was clearly very happy while we had a night away. Thank you, Laura!”
“Veronika and her family were lovely and made Teddy feel very welcome. We were updated daily with lots of photos while we were away. I dont think Teddy wanted to come home.”
“This is the first time I have tried this service for looking after dogs as an alternative to kennels. Sarah suggested that I bought Jack my border terrier to her premises before making the booking to see if there were any apprehensions, she made Jack feel at home straight away which eased any doubts I had about this type of dog sitting. Sarah has been superb with Jack throughout his stay,keeping me informed by text of his daily routine and sending me occasional photos of jack which showed him being cuddled and well attended too. I can thoroughly recommend Sarah for her care and love of dogs and I won't hesitate to use her again to look after Jack.”
“I had a fantastic experience with Angeliki looking after my dog, Darcy . She's a lively bouncy little dog with a great personality and loves lots of attention. Angeliki was brilliant with her from the start, it was clear Darcy received plenty of attention, care and playtime, which suits her perfectly, I also really appreciate the updates, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away . When Darcy was collected , she was happy , relaxed and clearly had a wonderful time, it's such a relief knowing she'd been so well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would highly recommended Angeliki to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog boarder.”
“Maggie and John are absolutely fantastic caring and easy to communicate with. We had no worries about our Dobby staying with them at all as we knew he would be taken good care of. We got regular updates how is Dobby doing with pictures of Dobby and he looked very happy. 💖🤗”
“Linnet was a great communicator, both before and during our dog’s stay. She listened to his needs and routines and we felt confident he would be very well looked after. He enjoyed playing with other dogs and a trip to the pub during his stay. We would highly recommend Linnet and would be very happy to book her again.”

I work from home 4 days a week and one in the office and will make sure you’re loved one is never left alone. Happy to go on short or long walks with your pets, whatever they enjoy. Will happily give medication if required, this is something we have experience in when looking after our own pooch. Currently work from home 4 days a week so your pet will never be never feel lonely. Also allows me to get out as frequently as needed for walks / garden play. I have a small fenced garden but we are abundant with fields and great walks where we live. Whether it’s playing with a ball or just a walk around the field on a lead, I’m happy to accommodate.
“Emma and her family are the loveliest people who genuinely care about pets. They treated my dog and others like they were their own. Which is so lovely to see in the many updates and pictures sent back to me whilst on her 2 night stay. I felt at ease whilst away knowing my dog was having a lovely time and being treated extremely well. I highly recommend Emma to anyone needing love and care for their pets and wanting guilt free time away. ❤️ thankyou Emma. X”
“Brooke did an amazing job looking after our dog! It was definitely a home away from home for our boy and we felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands and being looked after so well. We got lots of pictures and updates on how he was getting in whilst we were away which was brilliant. Both her dogs Poppy and Moose were also very friendly and adorable and we have made some new doggy friends for our boy!”
“Albert I know had a lovely time. Zuzanna looked after him for 2 weeks and he is an older dog we didn’t want to use kennels. I was updated with photos and messages Will definitely use Zuzanna again. Thank you kindly”
“This was the first time I had left Bruce with anyone other than family and naturally I was nervous but Jessica and Jonah made me feel reassured that he was in the best possible hands throughout his visit with them. They sent regular updates and pictures of him having a great time on plenty of walks and of him snuggling on the couch. Will definitely be booking with them again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better people to look after our dog, Layla. From the very beginning, it was clear that she was in caring, capable, and genuinely loving hands. Caroline and Andrew took the time to understand Layla’s routine, personality, and little quirks, which made a huge difference. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away—it was obvious Layla was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Layla wasn’t just “looked after”—she was treated like part of the family. We’re incredibly grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the couple to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly passionate about dogs. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Layla—we will definitely be booking again!❤️”
“Ottie absolutely loves coming to stay at Victorias! She has been a few times now, including a full week, and we wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. We received frequent updates on Otties stay and how she was getting on, we couldn’t have asked for more! Victoria really treated Ottie like one of her own and this made leaving her worry free.”

Bradley and pip were amazing with Callie! They truly spoiled her and treated her like one of their own, she went on lots of runs and outings. Lots of reassuring photos and videos were sent. Callie has had so much fun that she isn’t happy to be home and away from her new friends. We will definitely be using again!
Our dearest Bronte is an elderly lady and we couldn’t have found a better home away from home. Bradley was so warm and welcoming on our initial visit to meet him and put our minds at ease about leaving Bronte in his care. We received a daily update and that certainly put us at ease. Leaving your loyal and loving companion with someone is always a worry but Bronte has returned home happy and has fallen into her daily routine as if she hasn’t been away, all that is left, is to say; Thank you!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - North Kesteven
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in North Kesteven on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of July 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 .
