“Ann recently looked after my fur baby Molly. I was so impressed with her care and professionalism throughout. She is a lovely, kind lady and treated her as if she was her own following Mollys routine to enable her to feel safe and loved in the absence of her mum. I would highly recommend her to look after your pet.”
“Andy was loving and caring towards our two dogs! He was not only professional but easily contactable and replied promptly every time. We were not only comfortable with him looking after our dogs, we would consider visiting their family as they got along so well with our pups! We received images of the dogs and updates daily! Would highly recommend.”
“This was our first time using this service and I have to say I would highly recommend Lorraine, from start to finish she was accommodating with our 2 little pugs! She had them for 2 nights and kept us informed regularly of how they were and when they went for walks putting our minds at rest. I really can’t thank her enough and will definitely go back to her thank you Lorraine!! From Hayley Darren Princess & Betty xx”
About: About me: My rescue Dutch Shepherd passed recently at 14 after 12 years together. He was my family but he had reactivity and towards the end needed a lot of care around illness and dementia. Raising and training him has given me so much love for dogs along with a good amount of experience around dog body language (his and other dogs), training and general situational awareness. I also learned so much about clear requests and firm boundaries while advocating for him. Because of that he was able to have so many human friends and dog besties despite the reactivity. And I've done lots of walks and sits for those doggy friends over the years. I'm not ready to have another dog or cat myself, but I'd love to care for other folks' furry family. Things to be aware of Boarding: I have an elderly cat, so to board at my home, your dog will need to be good with cats. Unless your dog currently lives with cats I'll ask for a meet and greet at my home so that they can meet and I can assess. House sitting: I will accept house sitting visits outside of my set area if it is for multiple nights. There's no effective way to set things up that way on this site so please get in touch. I also can do longer than a week house sits for folks that I have done sits for previously. I work from home part time- Monday to Wednesday with plenty of flexibility around those working days. I can set my hours on those days as needed. And my days off are completely mine to schedule. The owner is always the best resource for how to care for their pet. My first port of call will be to go through questions related to behaviour and care, to make sure that I can meet everything that's needed. Aside from that I'm confident walking dogs of any size. Even if you're happy for your dog to be off lead, I will keep them on lead for the first few walks until I'm confident that they will recall to me consistently. Im happy working with spicy kitties who need extra time to build trust. My home is spacious and has a walled garden. I still have bowls, fountains, scratching posts, toys and crates from my previous pets that I can bring out of storage as needed.
“We could not have chosen a better place to board Duchess for our trip, or kinder, more caring and competent people to look after her. She had a great time, lovely walks, and we received many updates and photos. We are thrilled to have found such a wonderful home from home for Duchess and we will definitely book again.”
“Maisy was fantastic looking after Hector for the night, she sent updates and pictures throughout and took care of him as if he were her own! We will certainly be happy for her to look after him again.”
“Olivia was the best. It was the first time leaving Murphy, our slightly nervous rescue so we were understandable a bit nervous. But Olivia looked after him so well, her calm encouraging energy really suited Murphy. She kept us updated during the day which really helped put our minds at easy, would wholeheartedly recommend.”
“I am very happy with Vishnu. We had information about our puppy every day and we could see that he was very calm and that Vishnu was taking more than good care of him. I recommend him”
“So grateful to have discovered June. Our senior dog was so happy and really well cared for and we didn't worry about him for a second while we were away. We've already booked him in for his next holiday 🥰”
“I knew from the first time I've met him that he will be great with my dog! He's an open minded, funny, reliable, caring person. From the photos he sent I could see how happy and relaxed mu dog was during her stay. I genuinely recommend Andrew!”
“Pedro has just looked after our dog Otto for a week. This is his second stay with Pedro. Otto is a rescue dog and can be nervous with new people and situations. Pedro was very accommodating and made sure he did all he could to make Otto feel at home. When we picked Otto up he was very happy and relaxed and was in no hurry to go home. We will happily use Pedro again and recommend him without hesitation.”
“Marlowe stayed with Shreya and her partner for one night and he came back the happiest dog! Shreya gave us regular updates and took some amazing pictures which gave us peace of mind our pup was having the best time. We will definitely using her services again, would highly recommend.”
“This was Harvey’s third stay with Milla. He had a great time and I had a worry free time away. Milla understood that my dog is my baby and I really feel like she welcomed him into her home and her family.”
“Victoria was amazing! We have a rescue Pom who can be a little bit challenging and she was able to win his trust and deal with all his quirks. We got regular updates and photos so we did not have to worry about him and were able to enjoy our vacation. When we picked him up he was clearly a happy boy who had been very well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Cannot recommend Jane and her family enough! Peppa was quite happy and confortable as she was at home. They were kind, easy to communicate, I got photos/updates and all the food/medicines was administrated as requested. See you next time! Thank you.”
“What an amazing couple. Lexi absolutely loved it and felt tight at home. She suffers from separation anxiety and didn't seem to struggle at all. She absolutely loved her stay and I can't thank the 2 of them enough. Absolutely first class, amazing care for our little doggo. Thank you so much guys and we will be putting plenty more dates in the calendar. I think she's missing you both since she's got back ❤️”
“Holly was fantastic with Rupert and looked after him so well. It was clear he was really comfortable and happy in her care. She kept us updated and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We’re so grateful and would happily recommend Holly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their dog.”
“Tammy was brilliant, prompt responses and saved us by looking after Cookie very last minute following a cancellation on our end. Tammy sent lovely updates of Cookie, took her on some brilliant walks to allow her to run around properly and overall make us feel as ease. Would definitely recommend Tammy for any sitting in the future ☺️”
“2nd time we’ve booked Jackie to watch our 2 French bulldogs. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially if feeling anxious about leaving your dogs. We were kept up to date with plenty of pictures, making our holiday much more relaxing and enjoyable, knowing that they were both being looked after and safe.”

Adrienne and Lyle were great! Our girl Pickle is a sensitive soul and a velcro pup but has clearly fallen in love with this lovely couple. We can’t thank them enough for giving our pooch a home while we were away. Regular updates and lots of walkies! We’re very grateful, thank you!!
Tilly is a nervous dog and is weary of strangers. However, Tilly was welcomed and made to feel at home when we dropped her off at Emma’s. Tilly was well cared for and we had regular updates on how she was doing. I felt comfortable in leaving Tilly with Emma and her family for her stay. I will be asking Emma to look after Tilly in the future.
Nadine is fantastic, she looked after our dog for a week and gave him a perfect home away from home. Lovely home suitable for our dog and Nadine is very experienced. I would highly recommend and looking forward to many more doggy holidays with Nadine and her family.
Great communication from Maria throughout Arlo's stay with her. He was very well looked after and we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for someone to look after their dog! We will definitely choose Maria if we need another sitter. Thanks for taking such good care of our Arlo!
We met two times before we went on holiday and we went Sent lots of photos and videos of there time together. And when we picked him he hugged. Kerrie has been extra attentive and if anyone is looking for a dog sitter I would highly recommend her. Kerrie was always sending pictures and what they were doing.
Maisy is amazing! I had a terrible time with the last dog sitter so was a bit worried at first but Maisy and her partner Kyle are just fabulous. He did well with his food and got plenty of walks. I was sent videos and photos with updates. I couldn't be happier with the care they gave to Teddy. Thank you and see you very soon 💞
We are so happy with Victoria! They’ve taken care of our dog so well! He was so well looked after, walked loads, played loads and was never left alone. He also got on really well with their 2 doggies. He definitely had a holiday with them while we were away. Such a friendly family! Cannot recommend them enough!
Several visits in with Christine and Brian was so content he barely registered I had arrived to collect him. It is important that we feel Brian is at ease with his sitters as that's when he shows people who he really is, and that is clearly the case and we cannot wait to drop him off again so he can hang out.
Highly recommended sitters. Our cockapoo Alfie has just returned from his third stay with Gosia and her partner. They are such a lovely couple who genuinely love dogs and know how to take good care of them. Alfie settles with them instantly and is always well looked after. Gosia also keeps us regularly updated with plenty of photographs so we can relax knowing he is in safe hands . Thanks again to you both xx
Absolutely astonishing care 👌 Callisto spent a few nights boarding with Carrie, Nemo and Archer whilst my partner and I were on holiday. Wonderful meet and greet beforehand where we explained how Callisto was with different family members for the start, and end of our holiday, but she was excellent in being a part of the planning, settling anxieties and being a 10/10 hilarious, compassionate human who is outwardly disability and LGBTQ+ friendly. We received photos, videos and updates throughout Callisto's stay and we are very very happy with the care, companionship and adorable play and nap time she got. Carrie is a diamond, as are Nemo and Archer. Very highly recommend ✨✨
Laura and Simon were fantastic! We have an anxious dachshund and always worry about leaving him but after Rufus met Laura and Simon we knew there was nothing to worry about. They made sure Rufus had a great day filled with play and cuddles! The photo and video updates put us at ease. We would definitely book with Laura and Simon again!
Kerry looked after Harry overnight until the next evening. I am on holiday and I had arranged for a friend to pick Harry up and carry on with his boarding. Unfortunately they were later than anticipated at picking Harry up, but Kerry was excellent and said it was not a problem. I would certainly recommend Kerry and I would definitely let Kerry look after Harry again.

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 .
