“Jakub and his family were amazing from start to finish. He kept me updated as to how Bella was getting on and sent photos of her (having a lot of fun!) She has returned to us happy and well cared for. We used to put her in kennels when we went away, but having met Jakub and his family and seen how well that looked after our pup, we will only use Jakub in the future.”
“Many thanks for the great experience! Ayse is fantastic; Polly was very happy with the care and attention she received. Very friendly sitter and great communication, would highly recommend!”
“It was my first time using Eszter and she was brilliant. She came round to my house to meet the dogs beforehand. My dogs are rescue and unfortunately were unsettled during the night (absolutely no fault of Eszter) but she reassured me that this can happen occasionally. I was sent lots of photos during their stay and I felt they were very well looked after. Would definitely recommend this lady”
“Christina was so great! This was our first time using Rover and she put us at ease instantly, Cody was immediately at ease and we every update was just a smiling, happy dog!”
“This was our first and definitely not our last experience of booking a sitter. After the initial communication we arranged a visit to ensure Bonnie would feel happy to stay away for the night. The sitters were friendly, attentive and showed a great love for dogs. We would definitely recommend anyone to book and would have no concerns to have Bonnie stay here again. Thank you for taking good care of Bonnie while we went to watch Oasis.”
“Loki was so well looked after! He loves Tom and his family, and is always excited when we turn into their road. Tom sends updates regularly so that we don't worry. Can't thank them enough.”
“Evellin is great and clearly loves to be around dogs. Ernie settled in quickly, was walked daily and well cared for, and I could tell he enjoyed his holiday too! We had regular updates and a few pictures, which was very much appreciated. Highly recommended!”
“Carla and Jim looked after our 6 month old puppy for the weekend and we couldn’t have been happier with the love and care our Betsy received. 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.”
“Juno had a wonderful time with Kayleigh, she was well looked after and even though she's anxious with new dogs, she got on fabulously with Bailey! 100% recommend and we will be booking again:)”
“What a lovely and friendly family I found to look after Cleo for me. Gya was very welcoming and sent regular updates and pictures to keep me reassured everything was fine. Would happily recommend to others.”
“Ayesha was absolutely amazing. She stepped in and accepted our booking for a 2-night overnight stay with less than 24 hours’ notice after another sitter cancelled at the last minute, which was such a relief. Our dog has separation anxiety and usually struggles being left with new people, but from the moment we dropped him off it was clear he was in safe, caring hands. Even after a difficult first night, Ayesha handled everything so patiently and professionally, and he settled really well the following day. She kept us updated throughout with regular messages, videos, and photos, which really put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“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!”
“Peanut had a lovely week with Irina, I was kept updated throughout the week through messages and pictures, Peanut enjoyed all her fuss and attention, would definitely recommend Irina”
“Mandy agreed to look after our dog with very short notice, we arrange a quick meeting and trusted her straight away. Lovely, warm person who loves animals. Our dog was in very good hands. We got few updates (pics & video) which was much appreciated. Thank you.”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and being around them is just part of my everyday routine. At home we have two very friendly Eastern European Shepherds, so I’m very used to living with large breeds and helping with feeding, brushing, playtime, and keeping dogs calm and happy. My parents have lots of experience with dogs, and my dad is an IMDT‑qualified puppy instructor, so I’ve learned a lot from being involved in training sessions and understanding different dog personalities. It’s taught me how to stay confident, gentle, and patient with all kinds of dogs. I’m currently home from uni, which means I have plenty of time to devote to looking after dogs like walking, drop‑ins, or giving them a safe, comfy area in our 3 storey house, away from the shepherds if needed. There are also lovely woodland paths and fields close to our home, so dogs get plenty of chances for fun walks. If you’re looking for someone who’s grown up in a dog‑experienced home, is confident with small and large breeds, with lots of time to give your dog attention and care, I’d love to help! I'm currently at home from university, so I am free any day of the week to look after your dogs and available for boarding/walking any time! We have a fenced garden and a very dog friendly household where your dog will be treated like a member of the family. There are lovely walks nearby and your fur baby will get lots of attention and plenty of cuddles while they're here!
“Scott is so helpful, friendly and responsive. Great meet & greet , very comfortable leaving our dog in his care. The photos and videos were great to receive. Will be booking Scott again. :-)”
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.
“Kelly and her family were fantastic! It was my first time using Rover but it was perfect. I was kept updated with messages and pictures throughout the week I was away which was perfect and Kelly listened to everything that was needed as my dog has specific food allergies. I would definitely use again, thank you!”
“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.”

We have never left our dogs with anyone but family, sowe were so nervouse using a sitter for the 1st time. We found Mandy very understanding & put us at ease straight away. Mandy welcomed them in & after the meet & greet they seemed happy to go off & sniff. When we collevted them they were happy, with tails wagging. Although mandy only had them for the night, she had taken them for a long walk whch was lovely, & they got to sleep on the bed. We would not hesitate to ask Mandy to sit for them again. She is a lovely lady & the dogs had a lovely stay.We give her 5 stars. Thankyou Mandy for caring for them.
Sarah is absolutely fantastic, Oakley (my dog) can be a little tricky with food and nervous around people/dogs but Sarah does such a good job with him that he is completely comfortable there (huge for him) and I can completely switch off knowing he's in the best hands. Sarah gives regular updates with photos that I love seeing and Oakley has the best time with lovely walks and there is literally nowhere else I would take him, can't recommend enough! Very reliable and I completely trust Sarah to not only look after Oakley but to treat him like one of the family!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Peterborough on Rover is £34.5 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 686 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 .
