“Tom had Stanley while we were away in Majorca and it was clear from the pupdates he was enjoying his holiday as well!! Tom was even kind enough to give him a bit of a pamper which he hates at home!!!! I would have no hesitation in booking Tom again and highly recommend him if your fur baby needs looking after while you’re away. Thanks 🤩 🐾”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was great, and we got daily updates with pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs — that put us at ease knowing he was enjoying himself. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking again!”

We had lots of pupdates with pictures and could see our fur baby was really cared for. We will definitely be using these lovely people again and would highly recommend them.”
“Many thanks to Kayleigh for being so kind in looking after Bella. We expected her to be a little stressed as it’s her first visit, but she wasn’t. Bella was excited and happy to arrive and see Bailey, which was very reassuring for us. She seemed to have a lovely time and was obviously well cared for. We are looking forward to her next stay with Kayleigh. Thank you!”
“Elizabeth was fantastic from start to finish. Always put the needs of the dog first and that was evident by how happy our dog was with her. Totally put our mind at ease and was very communicative. Would recommend Elizabeth to anyone.”

“Fatma is exceptional, highly recommend. Her family took such good care of my two dogs for 5 nights. Communication was excellent she sent so many lovely photos and videos of them enjoying their stay and going on lots of walks. Would definitely book again when we next go away. Thank you so much Fatma to you and your family.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs since I was about 15 years old. I often helped my grandmother and close family friends with their dogs — walking them, feeding them and looking after them when they were busy or away. Through this experience I learned how to be patient, attentive and responsible with dogs of different personalities. I enjoy spending time with them, going on walks, playing and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I work night shifts from Sunday night until Wednesday morning. On the other days, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time for pet care. I am available for walks, visits, or overnight stays on most days, and I can adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. I provide a clean, safe, and comfortable space for pets, whether at my home or theirs. I follow all instructions carefully and always supervise pets to keep them happy and secure. Owners get updates so they can relax while I care for their furry friends.
“Jo and Ian were the perfect sitters for our Millie. They keep us updated throughout her stay re how she was getting on and sent photos so we could see how relaxed and happy she was, as well as being perfectly spoilt throughout her stay. We would definitely use them again.”
About: I have had dogs all my life and I'mexperienced with a variety of breeds. I have an 8 yearly old rescue springer spaniel who is my world. He had broken legs that weren't treated properly and I have given everything and more to make sure he has the best life and treatment he deserves. Your dog will be well cared for in a home from home environment with regular updates and photos, and given all the love that I give to my own pets. I am a registered paramedic and work shifts. I will only be accepting bookings on my days off and annual leave, meaning I will be home the majority of time with your dog during their stay. I will require a meet and greet prior to the booking to ensure our dogs get on well and make sure we are the right fit. This will also hopefully put you at ease before the booking. I'm very experienced with senior dogs with medical conditions such as arthritis and joint issues. I work as a paramedic and do shifts. I have blocks of days off and will only be accepting bookings on my days off and annual leave. This ensures I am home for the majority of time for your dogs stay. I have a fully enclosed and gated garden with a lock. I also have the ability to separate off my stairs and lounge area if needed. However, there are no restrictions in my home and dogs are allowed on the sofa and bed (if they wish)

Mandy was such a lovely and down to Earth woman. We arranged for our two dogs to be boarded with her for a week while we went on our honeymoon. Mandy reassured us that our lovely doggos were settling in and kept us updated throughout the week with photos and videos. The dogs absolutely adored her and have been so happy. We would recommend Mandy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring person to look after their pets. :)
Jo and Ian were the perfect sitters for our Millie. They keep us updated throughout her stay re how she was getting on and sent photos so we could see how relaxed and happy she was, as well as being perfectly spoilt throughout her stay. We would definitely use them again.
Shannon was absolutely lovely and took great care of Simba during his overnight stay 😊 This was a very last-minute booking for us, so I really appreciated how accommodating, reassuring and communicative she was throughout. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear Simba was well looked after and comfortable in her home. Shannon was very attentive to Simba’s routine and even tried different things to encourage him to eat as he can be quite fussy 😂 Nala was also very sweet and Simba seemed to enjoy having company during his stay. I would definitely recommend Shannon and would happily book with her again in the future 😊
Christina and her family were fantastic with our dogs Our dogs had never stayed away anywhere outside of our own home, but we were so happy that we found Christina and family. From the minute we met them we knew and felt really happy The dogs were going to be very well looked after. Thank you once again and we would absolutely highly recommend!
Absolutely 5 star!! Raya loved her weekend and was treated like a princess. We received lots of photos every day and it looked like she was having the time of her life. This was very reassuring for us and meant we could have a few days away without worrying especially as she’d already been out on walks with her.
Kelly looked after Izzy overnight at short notice and did a really great job. She took her out on walks and made sure she was well looked after the whole time. Izzy got on brilliantly with Kelly’s dog, Lenny, and her daughter, and it was clear she felt comfortable and happy there. We felt confident she was in excellent hands and Izzy seemed to really enjoy her stay. Highly recommend & thank you Kelly!
Ayse and her husband were very welcoming and made me feel at ease leaving my dog with them as Simba had been using a different sitter for 2 years who are no longer sitting. I felt a bit nervous having to use a completely new sitter again. When I picked up Simba he looked very happy and relaxed. I will definitely be using Ayse in the future for my baby
Oakley has some quirks and Sarah managed these brilliantly, he looked very comfortable and happy. More than happy with everything Sarah did looking after Oakley for us, and would highly recommend! Thank you so much Sarah, it was lovely to know he was being so well looked after and seeing him enjoying his little self!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Peterborough
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Peterborough on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 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 .
As of June 2026, there are 708 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Peterborough. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 of England 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 .
