“Eszter has been amazing since (with very short notice) we started working with her in 2023. Totally reliable and flexible and everything we could ask for when it comes to both day care and dog boarding in a super friendly and homely environment.”
About: I grew up cats and dogs around me. I’m the one when family or friends need someone to look after their babies . I love spending time with pets. I’m not working at the moment so I have plenty of time to look after pets and go for long walks with them and be there for them all the time. I do not have a garden I have julliet balconies but covered with nets so it’s not a danger for pets. I do not have anything to cause danger for animals at home.
“I would like to say a massive thank you to Jakub and Jacub family! My puppy stay with them i couldnt ask for better people. they treat him as a family member. i was getting updates and photos very often. They are just lovely ! will recommend to everyone! Thank you again !”
“My puppy Billy absolutely loves his weekly dates with Scott, Fraser and Cleo! Scott is so lovely with him and sends lots of photos and updates! Would recommend to anyone, he’s a star, I’m so glad we found him 😊”
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!
About: They say you can tell if somebody is a good person when animals feel safe in their presence... Well, not to blow my own trumpet, but... toot toot! Animals really do seem to love me :-) I think it's because they know that I love them back! I've previously had a dog of my own, and then inherited my mum's dog a few years ago, who I'd bought & trained for my mum in the first place. I trained him off-lead too before giving him to her, so I think he'd always seen me as his real mummy & maybe thought my mum was just his girlfriend, ha! I'm a firm believer in making sure dogs get plenty of outdoor time & exercise- having moved up to Peterborough from London, my dog was previously an apartment dog so was used to being walked at least 3 times a day, and we've continued that up here, even though we have a large garden. I just don't think it's fair to dogs to let them sit indoors all day, so I'm always out walking with my dog, Baby. Family & friends have also always relied on me to take care of their dogs when they've been away, and I regularly meet up with friends & their fur babies for lots of dog socialising & fun. I work from home Monday to Friday until 2pm, which is when I pick up my 13month old daughter from nursery, but the nature of my job means I'm around for lots of cuddles & play throughout the day (even when I'm on Zoom calls!), and regular walks in the morning, at lunch time and in the evenings. I have a fenced garden and a fur baby of my own to keep your fur baby company if needed. My daughter has been around dogs since she was born, so she is used to patting dogs gently & not doing anything to annoy them. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and in any room that I'm in - it's their home too! However, if your dog has a tendency to moult, I'm afraid they won't be allowed on the beds.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cat of every kind since I was 10. I love animals and always have at home when I was younger. I’m currently working as a Molecular Biologist from home and in lab . I have few time’s available to care about your pets and I’m looking forward to it. I have a fence big garden for your pet and space to play . I have a big house .Looking forward to meet you !!😊
About: Hi, I'm Toby — dogs have been the best part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them, spent two years caring for other people's dogs around the Rushden area with my partner, and I've just made the biggest decision of my working life: I've walked away from a career managing big teams in busy warehouses because, hand on heart, I'd rather spend my days surrounded by dogs — giving them care, love and a proper home-from-home — than anything else. That's what Frisby's Dogs is. Not a kennel, not a cage in sight — just our home, opened up to your dog as one of our own. I keep numbers small and deliberately low so every dog gets real attention: proper walks (we're spoilt for green space around here), play, rest, and a comfy spot on the sofa. The heart of all this is Hera, our rescue from Romania. When she arrived, she spent three weeks hiding under the sofa, terrified of everything. Today she sleeps in our bed, is fully house-trained, happy off-lead, knows a stack of tricks, and is full of beans! Rehabilitating her taught me real patience and a feel for nervous, rescue, or just plain quirky dogs — so if yours is a little anxious or particular, they're in exactly the right hands. Hera's also a bit of a social magician: one of her best mates is a 60kg Rottweiler who won't play with any other dog on earth — but the second he sees Hera, he's zooming around like a puppy. It's mainly me looking after your dog day to day, with my partner Nadja — who loves the doggos every bit as much — working from home regularly and on hand to help. No kids, calm and settled, secure garden, brilliant walks on the doorstep. Your dog won't be "just another booking" here — they'll be part of the pack. Come join us! 🐾 Frisby's Dogs is my full-time focus now — so I'm not fitting your dog around a 9-to-5. I'm available and flexible throughout the day, which means a routine built around your dog rather than squeezed into my diary. Day care drop-off is usually 7–9am with collection 5–6pm, and walks are arranged flexibly to suit your dog. My partner works from home regularly too, so there's always someone about. Your dog is cared for in our home — a calm, adult-only house in Hampton with a fully enclosed, secure rear garden that's checked every day. No cages, no kennels: dogs have free roam of the ground floor and garden, with constant supervision and deliberately small numbers so nothing gets missed. Every dog meets me and Hera on a relaxed intro walk before any booking, so I know they'll be happy and safe in the group — and Hera's often the one who helps a nervous newcomer come out of their shell. It's a non-smoking home, there are no children, and I'm fully insured (public liability and care, custody & control). Vaccinations and flea/worm treatment are required for everyone's safety, and I keep a canine first-aid kit to hand. Whether your dog's a confident social butterfly or a shy rescue who needs patience, they're treated exactly like one of our own.
“Today was lazers first day with Brett and as someone who's used the same day care for the last 7 years safe to say I was slightly nervous but it's been fantastic. First off Brett was very welcoming and engaging, gave me great confidence in his genuine love of dogs and caring for them. And today is great evidence of that, we got regular updates of our pooch living his best life and being so comfortable. Thank you so much! Definitely be bringing Lazer back”
“Our dogs had a great day with Amy during there daytime stay. The photos of them all looking happy and relaxed were lovely to see. Amy and partner were lovely and we knew the dogs were in great hands from the minute we met them. Thank you again. Would highly recommend.”
“Many thanks Tom and your lovely family, for taking good care of Daisy yesterday. Our labradoodle is 11 now and it’s the 1st occasion we have left her with Tom. He sent through some lovely photos of Daisy with the children, which was very reassuring and gave us the confidence to know that she had settled in and will be fine when we leave her again. Hopefully next time the weather will be less soggy for your walks !”
“I had a great experience with Carla and Jim! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. From the start, they were incredibly friendly and approachable, which immediately put me at ease. They arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which was a really thoughtful touch and helped both me and my dog feel comfortable before the stay as it was my first time using Rover. During the time they were looking after my dog, they provided regular updates and photos, which was so reassuring and showed how well my dog was being cared for. It was clear that my dog was happy, relaxed, and getting plenty of attention. I really appreciated the level of care and communication throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Carla and Jim again and would definitely recommend them to other dog owners looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after their pet! Thank you!”
About: Myself and my husband are experienced dog owners, and have been around dogs our whole lives. We are happy to consider any dog breed and can handle large or small dogs. We had an Alaskan Malamute weighing 48kgs in her prime, sadly we lost her in August at 14 years old, so no trouble handling big and stubborn breeds! We do have a 14 year old cockerpoo called Alfie who is very tolerant and misses his companion - therefore dogs coming to us must be okay with other dogs. He is neutered. We have a loving family home with husband and wife team and grown up children who are always happy to play with dogs walk, entertain, exercise etc (children are 16, 19, 22 and are dog lovers like us!) We have a large enclosed garden for dogs to roam around in and are a cat free home. Boarding and doggy day care welcome, we often go to the seaside too, so if you pooch likes the beach they'd be welcome to come with us if they can travel in the car okay. Happy to answer any questions, or set up a meet and greet with your furbaby. I work part time 3 days a week and my husband works from home full time, so there is always someone around to keep you dog company and give them the love and care they need. Evenings and weekends we have 3 grown up children that are dog lovers like us, and are more than happy to help keep your dog entertained (children are 22, 19, 16 so not little kids). We have a large secure fenced garden for dogs to roam around in as they please. There is always someone at home. We have a 14 year old cockerpoo who misses his companion who we lost this year. He is a gentlemen. Happy to crate if needed, though we do not have a crate at the moment so this will need to be provided.
About: I've taken care of multiple dogs since I was small, with variations in size and breed. I have experience with energetic young mixed-breed dogs as well as older dogs with special medical needs. Nothing is too much to provide the care, affection, and training our furry friends require! New to official formal sitting, hence the "1 year". I'm a researcher and a writer working from home in the middle of Peterborough, so I can easily fit let care into my weekly and daily routines. My time is my own to organise, so if a pet needs full attention and care I can give them that, or if they just need company I can bring my work to them! When caring for a pet, that let becomes my main priority! At the moment I'm keen to provide care in the pet owner's home, or indeed outside. Details depend on the pet caring circumstances, but I'll maintain high standards of safety by building trust and maintaining a relationship with the pet and the pet owner.
About: I have a amazing lurcher Nala and I have also had pets in my life ever since I was a baby,I have been all through collage getting every thing I need to work with animals expecially my 4 legged friends.I think its amazing the bond we can all have with out pets and I want to see every animal happy and thriving in life.I believe animals are anyone's best friend and we could all do with one to complete our lives and create special memories with them and our other baby's as I know the bond between them is everything to see.

From the outset Joanna made the whole booking process so easy for me by sending prompt replies and informative messages. When I first took Stan to meet her, and her two adorable dogs it was obvious she is calm, caring, knowledgeable and truly adores dogs. This gave me total confidence when leaving Stan with her for the first time. He had a super visit and this was clear in the lovely photos and video Joanna sent me during the day. Stan now has new friends in Joanne's dogs and I know he will be keen to visit again. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanna's services to anyone.
Our dogs had a great day with Amy during there daytime stay. The photos of them all looking happy and relaxed were lovely to see. Amy and partner were lovely and we knew the dogs were in great hands from the minute we met them. Thank you again. Would highly recommend.
Jakub and his family were really helpful when I was booking for Coco. She is an anxious dog, but when I took her on the day, she settled in perfectly well. Jacob was great about taking special care of her extra needs e.g. extra pee breaks because of her age (15), and not letting her jump too much due to her arthritis. When I picked Coco up, it was great to see that she was happy. This is the best recommendation. I would definitely book Jakub again, I think Coco would be excited to go back. I will also definitely recommend him to other owners.
Erika was absolutely amazing. I dropped my boy with her for the day and she was super communicative sending me updates, pictures and videos while I was away. This was very reassuring and my dog looked very happy with her! Erika was also very kind and flexible. I had to arrive a bit later than what I had arranged and she was able to accommodate that bit of extra time. That was a life saver. Thank you so much. I will use her services next time I go to Peterborough. Highly recommended 💯
It was lovely meeting Benjamin and his wife. They are such beautiful souls and very friendly. Simba had sooo much fun whole day. Thank you for taking him for lake side walk I'm sure he loved his first experience to that. We will meet soon. Thanks alot. Forever friend Simba and his parents.
We had a fantastic experience with Brett when he looked after our puppy, Izzy. Brett made sure she got lots of time outside, and really helped with her socialisation by introducing her to another dog in a calm and positive way. Izzy had a great day and was clearly well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Peterborough on Rover is £27.6 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 691 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Peterborough. About 87% of Peterborough 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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Peterborough commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
