“Ralph has had an amazing time with Lesley. The pictures that Lesley shared were fab and we could see that Ralph had really settled in nicely and made himself right at home. Thank you do much”
“Alexandra and Chris were absolutely fantastic looking after our dog, Harley, while we were away in Cardiff for a few days. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in safe and caring hands. They kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to relax knowing Harley was happy and well looked after. It was clear she was getting plenty of attention, care, and affection. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Alexandra and Chris again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and trustworthy people to care for their dog. Thank you both for taking such great care of Harley!”
“Laura was fantastic with my golden retriever! He definitely had lots of fun and love! Lots of updates, pictures and videos throughout. Will definitely be using Laura again!”
“Wow what can I say. Angelika was so helpful from start to finish, Silva has never stayed with anyone else before and has had the best week, he's actually fuming we have now picked him up. He's been loved and looked after , walked , played with we have had regular contact and photos daily, we have all loved seeing his updates each day. Thankyou for everything we will be on touch very soon to book his next stay with you. ❤️”
“Scarlett looked after Wrigley perfectly. Sent updates and pictures of how he was doing and he settled in quickly. Would absolutely trust her to take care of him again in the future!”
About: I honestly think I love dogs more than life itself. I can’t walk past a dog without stopping for a chat and a cuddle. To me, a walk isn’t really a walk unless I’ve met a few waggy tails along the way! We recently lost our beautiful Border Collie, Toby, at the age of 13½. He was truly my world. It’s still painful to talk about him, but I know we gave him the happiest life imaginable. I even flew him home from Australia because he was part of the family and there was never any question of leaving him behind. My partner and I have two young children (aged 3½ and 1), and there’s a huge void in our home without Toby. We’d love nothing more than to welcome your dog into our family, whether that’s for a fun walk or caring for them in the comfort of our home. We promise they’ll be treated with the same love, care and attention as if they were our own. We’re both very flexible and will do our best to accommodate your needs. We simply ask that your dog is comfortable around young children, as they’ve grown up with dogs and absolutely adore them. I’ve been a registered nurse for 16 years, so caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do. But if I’m honest, working with dogs has always been a dream of mine. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d love to chat and see how I can help. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I hope to meet you and your four-legged family member soon! 🐾❤️ I’m currently on maternity leave so have plenty of time at home. The whole family is present at weekends. My children attend nursery 2 days a week. Your dog would rarely get left alone, or not at all if that is their preference. A fenced grassy garden with plenty of space for zoomies! A 2 minute walk to a beautiful park. A home away from home, whatever your dog requires I will endeavour to provide. Sleep in the bed? No problem Sleep in a crate? Also no problem A home with no resident dog so your dog will get 100% attention.
“Sevket was amazing with Luisa as we went on holiday. As soon as he collected her we knew she would be in good hands. Sevket kept us updated daily with pictures and videos of Luisa's numerous walks and feeding times etc. I would highly recommend Sevket to anybody and hopefully we will use him again in the future 😊 A genuinely nice guy and very professional, he made Luisa feel safe and welcomed from the start and now she misses him 😀”
“We left our beloved dog Blue for the first time ever with Walter and Angela. They were brilliant from start to finish. We felt instantly reassured that Blue was in good hands. He is an older dog with particular needs and they managed them with great care and easy. We had regular updates from them too.Plus their own dog Bonnie is a very friendly gorgeous dog with a wonderful temperament. I would highly recommend them. Thank you both!”
“Adam and Hazel were incredible pet sitters for Phoenix and Soot. They looked after my mum’s cats during a very difficult period which included my mum being in hospital and one of the cats falling seriously ill. Through it all, Adam and Hazel responded with calm professionalism and deep compassion. I could not have wished for better cat sitters for Phoenix and Soot and I would not hesitate to recommend Adam and Hazel in future.”
“Harry and his partner looked after Lenny for nearly two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for better carers. They kept me updated throughout his stay with regular messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the updates that they genuinely care about animal welfare and treat every dog as if it were their own. Their home is spacious and welcoming, and it's surrounded by plenty of outdoor space for walks, which Lenny clearly enjoyed. From the photos, it was easy to see he was having a great time exploring. When I collected Lenny, he looked happy, relaxed, and in excellent health, which says everything about the level of care he received :-) I wouldn't hesitate to leave Lenny with Harry again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring dog sitters.”
“Can't recommend Daniel enough! He made sure to let us know the whole holiday how our Eevee was doing with plenty of pictures and videos to keep us at ease, she had hours worth of walks every day too! We will definitely be using him again as Eevee loved it, thanks so much :)”
“Matthew was absolutely fabulous with Bear! Very understanding of his needs & sent me lots of updates to keep my mind at rest! Highly recommend. Bear had a brilliant time. Thanks so much!”
“Absolutely perfect boarding experience, lovely family, plenty of photos and updates! Max was playing with the little girl in the garden and went on a long walk! He’s been fast asleep since I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave, bless him! Would definitely recommend this sitter! Thank you so much xx”
“Bluey and haggis had a lovely time with Janice. Highly recommend. Received regular updates and photos of Bluey and haggis, made me feel better about leaving them in their friendly and loving home. Thank you very much x”
“Thank you for looking after my Storm. On hand over my mother said she wanted to get back in your car so I think that says it all 🥰 Thank you for the pictures and updates throughout. She looked super happy 🐾🙏 I will be in touch soon x”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Preston
Debbie and Andrew are quite simply Mabel’s favourite holiday mum and dad! The moment we pull up, she is practically standing on their doorstep, giddy with excitement and desperate to get in and see D&A and her pals Django, Biscuit and Suki. She always has the best time and comes home happy, relaxed, and somehow even friendlier and better behaved than when she left! The brilliant pupdates are the icing on the cake, giving us complete peace of mind and plenty of smiles. We honestly could not recommend Debbie and Andrew highly enough, although Mabel might prefer we kept them a secret all to ourselves! 😊
Scarlett came highly recommended by Merlin’s owners. I needed to make sure bagel had the best care as he is a rescue dog from Cyprus and so very anxious doggie. Scarlett kept me updated all the time with regular contact and sent photos of bagel also. He seemed happy loved and content in Scarlett’s company and will be coming back end of October. Would highly recommend. 🐶 ❤️
Matthew and Laura have been brilliant from start to finish ⭐️ Our 1 year old Rottweiler stayed with them for 2 nights and they kept us updated regularly and really put us at ease 👌 They are both so knowledgeable with dogs and Matthew even worked on some training with Marty during his stay, which is so crucial at his age and with his breed. I couldn’t recommend them enough, and I trust them fully looking after Marty - thank you so much! 🫶
Daniel looked after Merlin for a few days whilst we were away again and was absolutely brilliant with him as always. Merlin was always happy and excited to go in, so it was clear he felt comfortable and well cared for. Daniel was friendly, reliable and reassuring throughout. I’d happily recommend him and would definitely ask him to look after Merlin again.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Olivia enough! 🤍 She looked after our dog during our wedding and was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was so kind, reliable, flexible and incredibly accommodating, which made such a difference during such a busy and stressful few days. She went completely above and beyond what we ever expected, even helping us out during a last minute wedding emergency without hesitation! 🥹 Knowing Otis was happy, safe and so well looked after meant we had one less thing to worry about and we were able to enjoy our wedding knowing he was in the best hands. We are genuinely so grateful to Olivia for everything she did for us and Otis. She made our wedding week that little bit easier and I would trust her with him again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Olivia & Tim! 🤍🐾
Georgina was fantastic with Finn while we were away. She made him feel completely at home and it was clear from the updates that he was happy, relaxed and being really well looked after. Knowing he was so settled made us feel much more relaxed about leaving him too. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgina and would happily leave Finn with her again.
Mark and Natalie were warm & friendly from the moment we booked. They took excellent care of Maisie and Poppy, our cocker spaniels. We received regular communication re their well being. The girls returned home having had a happy time whilst we were away. We would have no hesitation booking our dogs in with Mark and Natalie in the future or in recommending their service to others. Many thanks for taking great care of M & P. Chris & Sarah
Isabelle was amazing! She looked after my puppy for 4 days at very short notice. She made sure she did all the right things to ensure the best care for him & he had a great few days. They took him on long walks & comforted him when he was a little nervous the first day. She sent many updates throughout & great communication. Her dog Beemer & her cats are also very friendly with other dogs. Would 100% recommend her to dog sit!
This was my first time leaving Rocco and I was very nervous about leaving him with someone I didn’t know, but Racheal gave me so much confidence with looking after him… she was absolutely amazing! I was sent regularly photos and videos of him while I was away which I found very comforting. When collecting Rocco he was extremely excited to see us but once settled he went straight over to Rachel and gave her plenty of cuddles and kisses which I think says everything…. He loves her 🥰. Will definitely be using you again in the future… thanks for everything.
Lisa was INCREDIBLE! She took care of Oscar and Theo our two toy cavapoos so well! I don’t think they wanted to come home. They had lots of walks and cuddles which is what they LOVE. Also all the ‘pup-dates’ were amazing!! Really appreciate Lisa looking after our two babies and we will be booking her again!🩷 thank you so much Lisa.

When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 2,176 sitters in Preston, 72% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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.
