With hands-on experience in both puppy training and senior care, I’m able to provide: Puppy support: basic training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement.

About: Your dog will be apart of our loving family with lots of cuddles, playtime, walks & treats (if aloud by owner) When we look after your beloved dog we will ensure their needs are put first. Unfortunately, we lost our bulldog Bonnie recently and this has given us the passion and desire to look after other peoples dogs. We always found this difficult and a challenge knowing who to trust with Bonnie and my goal is to help others feel at ease. We as a family have experience being around a variety of breeds including young & old dogs. I currently work full-time in the community, however I work from home majority of the working week. Also, if I am not home my mum is at home as she only works part-time. At the weekends everybody in the house is home. Your dog will not be on their own longer than a couple of hours at a time. I have a private secure back garden where dogs will have access to safely and securely. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I am honest, trustworthy and have a genuine love & care for animals especially dogs!

Ruben stayed with Maria and her family for 2 nights. I would highly recommend Maria and her family. They were so warm and welcoming to Ruben and myself, I had no worries when leaving him. Maria took on board how Ruben is cared for at home and was really accommodating with what he needed. Ruben was so happy and I could tell he was calm and settled when I collected him. Maria kept in touch with photos an let me know he was happy and that was really reassuring. A huge thanks to her and I will definitely look to Maria for care for Ruben whenever I may need agsin 💕

About: I was raised in a home with four legged friends and therefore built a natural way of being with them, especially dogs - they have a special spot in my heart. A large chunk of my experience with dogs comes from my late rescue dog, who at her arrival knew no commands and had never been indoors. She thought me plenty about the realities of taking care of a dog, as well as patience and importance of sticking to set rules. Her speciality was to eat everything even remotely edible, so I've learnt to be careful with where their mouths go, both indoors and outdoors. I have also helped friends with their dogs, taking them on walks and dogsitting over night a few times. I really love dogs but don't think owning one would currently be the best decision, meaning that I will take care of yours as if they were mine - with your rules and guidance. To put everyone's mind at ease, I will strictly follow your guidance when taking care of your dog. This will also help them to settle into the new environment easier. I would like to think myself as a reliable person with common sense. I am down to earth and have a calm and regular lifestyle - there's no loud music etc in my home, nor regular visitors. I also like to keep active, so regular walks are a bonus to me. I work regular office hours on Monday to Wednesday, making me free full time for the rest of the week. I am also able to occasionally work from home for a day or two. With no other regular commitments, I am happy to use that flexibility to work around your schedule as best as I can. I provide a safe, calm and caring environment in my one-bedroom flat, where your dog will receive plenty of attention and supervision. I live alone, so your dog will have a quiet, stress-free space without other animals or loud noise. The apartment block is very peaceful, with only two flats on my floor, meaning there is very little foot traffic or noise from neighbours, helping keep the environment calm for dogs. I’m located near a canal for regular walks, and I can also take a bus to larger green spaces like Colwick Park, depending on your preferences and with your approval. Inside the home, I make sure all potentially dangerous items are securely stored in enclosed cupboards, and I can restrict access to certain areas, such as the kitchen, using a gate, if needed. I follow your dog’s usual diet closely, including exact feeding times, portion sizes, and any specific instructions such as allergies, sensitivities, or treats allowed, to keep their routine consistent and safe. I’m also keen to know about their other individual needs, including any triggers or situations that may cause stress, so I can avoid them and keep your dog comfortable and relaxed. Dogs are welcome on the sofa and bed, so they can feel at home during their stay, and I always prioritise safety, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated for peace of mind.

About: I have experience with rescue dogs and building bonds and trust. I know the importance of understanding what your dog needs no matter the temperament. I enjoy training new tricks and taking them for adventures. I believe I can offer your dog fun and make their stays like a holiday I work from home most of the week. My mornings start by walking maple first thing in the morning, on my lunch break and after work. With plenty of playtime in between. I am very lucky to be living with a veterinary nurse who is always on hand to help where needed. I am very flexible to your dogs routine and will aim to mirror this. Maple is very adaptable and loves having other dogs as company. Most days I aim to take them out together. If your dog prefers walks alone then this is available

About: As a passionate and experienced animal lover, I offer reliable and caring dog sitting and walking services. I'm a 19-year-old who has been around dogs my whole life, and I've been walking family and friends' dogs for years. I've always loved animals, which is why I pursued a Level 3 Advanced Diploma in Animal Care, providing me with a strong foundation in animal health, welfare, and behavior. My practical experience includes working at a dog groomer that specialized in handling dogs with various behavioral issues, so I'm well-versed in understanding and managing different temperaments. At home, I have two friendly dogs of my own who are great with other pups, ensuring a harmonious environment if your dog stays with me. Your furry friend's safety and happiness are my top priorities! Regarding my availability I work part time but rest assured there will always be someone at home to let them out for the toilet. As when I leave for work everyone else arrives home from work. At home, I have two wonderful dogs; A boy toy poodle (unneutered) and a girl labradoodle (spayed). Both are very friendly and get along wonderfully with other dogs. However for everyone’s comfort I will arrange an initial meet and greet away from home to ensure all dogs are happy together before going ahead and booking you in. We have a large fenced garden that we are currently sorting out but the dogs still have full access which they will always be supervised. I also drive so can offer pick up services if you have any issues with transport.

We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. They took excellent care of our dog for several days and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We received regular updates and lovely photos throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We truly appreciate the kindness, care, and professionalism, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

About: I live on my own and own a very active Cockerpoo. I've looked after and taken friends and family dogs for around 10 years. I live next to woodthorpe Park which is ideal for your dog to have a adventure day ! If it's a case of me looking after your dog/dogs on there own then that is totally fine. I have family that would be more than happy looking after ziggy for a while if you dog isn't comfortable around others. I currently work part-time so, so have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I am available during most of the week and also weekends I have a fenced garden which has lots of grass and greenery to run around in. I also live close to woodthorpe park which is ideal for your dog to run around and have adventures.

About: I've looked after dogs in the past for family and fostered Guide Dogs in training. Dogs love the large garden and I have a park within walking distance. Paddling pool and toys to play with. Lots of play and walks. I'm retired but have active hobbies that I can work around. Friends visit and if your dog is pub friendly we can visit the local that has a dog bar that has treats and water bowls. I have a large fenced garden with paddling pool in hot weather and shaded areas. There is a park nearby. Comfy beds and toys in the house. Snuggles on the sofa watching tv allowed.

Grace recently looked after our reactive rescue staffie Daisy when we went away for the weekend. We did a meet and greet , which was easy to organise and Grace was very welcoming. We hadn't used Grace before for daycare, so we were a little anxious about Daisy stopping overnight as her first visit but she settled really fast and had a great time. We received regular updates and photos (where we could tell that Daisy was genuinely happy!) and our advice regarding Daisy's routine was followed well 🙂 we will definitely be asking Grace to sit Daisy again in future and would recommend her to anyone.

About: Hi, I’m Ellie, I’m 27 years old and live in Long Eaton. I’m a Junior Marketing Manager by day, fitness enthusiast by night. I really love spending time with dogs and have lots experience in taking care of dogs over just a normal day whilst I work from home, or when people need their dogs looking after whilst they’re away for a week or so. There’s nothing better than having a little buddy following you round! I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children. I’ve got a large fenced garden that dogs can run round safely. I’m looking for a lovely dog that I can take for walks and have at home as well whilst I’m WFH. I’m also available for long weekend stays too! I currently work from home on Fridays, so can look after dogs from Thursday night to Sunday evening ONLY. No long holiday stays, I live too far away from where I work to provide the best care to your dog. THURSDAY PM - SUNDAY PM ONLY. I live in a semi detached house with a large clear fenced garden so your dog can run round freely without any risk of escape or hurting themselves.

Daniel looked after my two dogs while we were abroad, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they received. He was amazing with both of them, especially my senior dog, making sure all of her medication was given correctly and that she was comfortable and well looked after. I received daily updates and lots of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind and made it so much easier being away from them. It was clear that my dogs were happy, relaxed, and treated with genuine care and affection. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be asking him to look after my dogs every time we go abroad from now on. Thank you so much! for looking after Lizzie and Bella 💖🐶

Odeta was an excellent sitter. I’m very grateful for the way she and her partner looked after Remi. From all the photos and updates, he looked happy, well cared for, and it was clear that he had settled in very well with them. Odeta kept me updated with every detail. Since it was the first time we had left Remi with someone else, it meant a lot to know he was in good hands, and she made sure we knew he was doing well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take good care of their puppy.

What can I say other than Tatiana and her beautiful family are amazing!!! Dodge has stayed a few times now and he absolutely loves it, it’s all very familiar for him and he soon settles in to his own routine when he stays, he is so well cared for and loved like part if their family Nothing is too much trouble, Tatiana is so accommodating and helpful and without her it would be impossible for us to have a family holiday We are truly blessed to have found this wonderful family to take care of our precious boy when we go away I was worried about leaving Dodge especially during a heatwave! But i needn’t have been, he really was given the 5 star treatment on his very own little holiday Tatiana made sure he had early morning and late evening walks, ice lollies, fun in the paddling pool, cooling blankets and lots of shade and cool areas and sent me daily photos and updates of Dodge so it was so comforting to see how happy and cared for he was Dodge is looking forward to his next stay soon

She is very friendly, and genuinely caring, and has looked after Marley brilliantly over the past couple of days while we were away.

FAQs for Boarding - Nottingham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Nottingham on Rover is £32.2 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,067 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Nottingham. About 93% of Nottingham sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Nottingham pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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 .

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 pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
