Zulu truly loves coming to yours and spending time with all the family especially the spending time with the kids and making you all smile alot.

Thank you so much for the service and the update with photos and videos of zulu first time trying the car and the beach. You guys are truly outstanding and love the fact that you guys get to enjoy spending time with Zulu and enjoy her just like i do ❤️”
“Just got my pooch back after a week of been with Lucy and her family. Cannot recommend them enough, cookie was well looked after and given plenty of love throughout her stay.. It was the first time ive ever left a pooch anywhere and Lucy really put my mind at ease.. We met prior to the booking date to ensure cookie was comfortable and both parties were happy with the plan, all my worries and questions were answered and cookie seemed at easy with the family immediately... I was provided regular pictures and updates whilst away and will definitely be using Lucy for future sitting requirements.. highly recommend 👌”
“Hannah & Jordan took such wonderful care of Woody, he has had a brilliant time with multiple walks per day in different locations, swims, brushes and cozy sofa time and cuddles. We felt really bad that we couldn't bring Woody away with us and were nervous leaving him but Hannah & Jordan sent us lots of photos and messages each day. They were also flexible when we were delayed by an hour. It feels as though Woody has had a holiday and has been so well cared for! We would definitely recommend Hannah & Jordan.”
“Mabel absolutely loved her Christmas and new year stay with Amber. She was well looked after and happy. We had regular photos and updates. This is the second stay over for Mabel, we will definitely be doing a return booking for later this year. Thank-you Amber 😁.”
“Excellent dog sitter. Provided care and fully attention to Freddie. Lots of photos and videos to let me know what he was up to. Very much recommended, hopefully rebook again soon. Thank you Sophie.”
“Annie looked after Nora for 10 nights. She waa so patient and kind when Nora was extremely anxious. Even Annie's husband gave her time and space to get used to him. We will definitely book Nora to stay with Annie again and can"t recommend her highly enough!!”
“I would give Nikita and her partner more than 5 stars if I could, to evidence how grateful we are for the seriously top notch care they showed our dogs while boarding them. Our dogs were clearly very well cared for, exercised, and given lots of affection which is more than we could have expected as this was their first time with Nikita. As our dogs have never been boarded, we were really nervous about how it would go but we were instantly put at ease when we met Nikita in her home on short notice. It also helps that our dogs took to her immediately, and seemed really happy in her presence. Nikita and her partner boarded our two (rather boisterous) dogs for two days. We were sent regular updates and photos, and Nikita was always responsive when contacted. They were also extremely accommodating when we were delayed in picking our dogs up which was very appreciated. They went out of their way to show our dogs a great time. Nikita was very professional and thorough in her prep, asking us all the relevant and necessary questions which no doubt comes from a place of significant experience caring for animals. Big bonus is Nikita's love for rescue animals! She and her partner are complete naturals and they made us feel like our dogs had a second home when we were away. We will no doubt reach out to her without hesitation the next time we need someone to care for our dogs, and strongly recommend her to anyone else looking for a safe, comfortable boarding experience for their animals. A big thank you to Nikita and her partner!”
“I had such a great experience with Julia as my dog sitter! She took wonderful care of my mini dachshund overnight and treated him as if he were her own. Julia is very detailed and attentive, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I also really appreciated her flexibility — being able to pick up my dog as early as 8am was a huge help for my schedule. I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and I’ll be happy to book with her again!”
“Wonderful! Joanne is such a caring and attentive sitter for our collie, Harry. He was part of the family and came home very happy. We recommend Joanne very highly in all respects.”
“Barley really enjoyed his stay with Alison. Alison is very dedicated and was very good with Barley and I would not hesitate torecommend Alison to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. Thank You Alison.”
“Couldn't of asked for a nice person to look after Rocco would highly recommend her and her lovely family Rocco didn't want to come home he had a lovely stay and Stacey up loaded pictures for me everyday. That made me feel very at ease as he's never stayed any were before ❤️”
“Charlie slept well after his adventures. Thanks for entertaining him and getting out with him despite inclement weather conditions. He seemed just as excited to see the housemates. He clearly feels part of the pack!”
“I honestly cannot recommend Millie and Sam enough!! Morris stayed with them for the weekend and I felt completely at ease the whole time. They kept in touch throughout with updates and lovely photos which made me feel so reassured that he was happy and being well looked after. I could tell that they genuinely cared about Morris and he had the best time. Sam even came and picked him up and dropped him back which made everything so easy and stress free for me. They made me feel so comfortable leaving him and I trusted them straight away. Morris came home relaxed and clearly very well cared for. I would 100% recommend them to anyone and will definitely be using them again and again. Thank you both so so much!! ❤️🐾”
“Abby was so lovely and amazing with Norman! We felt really at ease leaving him with her, and got some great photos of him having the best time. Would definitely recommend, thanks so much Abby!”
“I was initially nervous to leave Woozle as she has always stayed with family before but Haley was wonderful with her. She sent plenty of pics and video updates and Wooz was clearly happy and well cared for throughout. I can't recommend her highly enough and would definitely use her services again!”
“Having already met Liza and Mike for a walk and visited their house, Liza had Henry for the first time last weekend and he clearly had a great time! He went on some lovely walks and was very well looked after. Liza kept us supplied with photos which was very reassuring. All Henry's 'stuff' was packed and ready for collection and he was completely at home with Liza and her family. We have already booked Liza again and plan to use Liza as our main dog carer for future holidays.”
“Found an instant bond with Tracy from the minute I met her and I knew I was leaving my dogs with a loving family in a lovely home. I received daily photos and could see my dog’s were enjoying their holiday as much as I was mine.on my return I could tell my dogs had enjoyed their stay. Would highly recommend and will defiantly be using Tracy again.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t recommend Julia highly enough! ❤️ Hildi felt completely at home during her stay, and it was obvious she was loved, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. Knowing she was in such wonderful hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I was especially grateful that Julia was able to help me out at such short notice. I urgently needed boarding because of an important family event abroad, and she went above and beyond to accommodate us. That meant the world to me. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter or boarding experience. If you want to be absolutely certain that your dog is in the best possible hands while you’re away, I can wholeheartedly recommend Julia. She genuinely cares for every dog as if they were her own. Thank you so much for everything! I really hope Hildi will be able to come back and stay with you again. 🐾❤️
Amber looked after Bertie for two nights for us. We received daily updates which were detailed and reassuring that he was settling in. When I messaged Amber, I got a response quickly. It was very hot during Bertie's stay and this was taken into account regarding his care (doggy lollies were enjoyed!) I was extremely happy with the care provided and would completely recommend Amber as a boarder.
I left for a much needed trip with my Hudband for 8 days and Anindita treated my dog as her own with love, care , hospitality and total professionalism. She sent us updates regularly and photos and even a few videos ; which relieved our minds of any problems or quirks with our dog Jimi . We have a sensitive dog with a quirky tummy at times and Anindita went above and beyond to help him with some special dietary assistance. She is the best sitter I have ever had and as a special act of kindness ; she gave our dog a little birthday celebration with s video ; since we could not make it back home until the day after his special day . I highly recommend her and her dear husband was very kind with my doggie as well. Thank you so much , as a person with a sensitive dog always worries and through this app Rover I have found the best sitter ever !

Kate has been excellent in looking after my rather skittish dog, Lola. Lola is quite high energy and can be reactive, Kate was very understanding and dealt with her very well. Lola was taken on good long walks that match her energy levels, and we got lovely photos!. Will definitely book Kate again.
Bridget was absolutely brilliant abd you can tell how much she loves dogs. Charlie is so precious to me and therefore its very important to have someone look after him and would care for him as I would. Charlie seems to have had a great time despite being restricted to garden walks only as he had a ligament injury and his medication was administered as instructed. We were updated with photos and videos daily so could see he was happy and content. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending Bridget.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Plymouth
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Plymouth on Rover is £32.2 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 205 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Plymouth. 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 South West 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 .
