“Daniel and his partner were amazing. They were very friendly and welcoming. They were very thorough in getting to know my dog, took notes even. My dog really enjoyed being there with them. More importantly I was very confident and happy to leave him under their care. Highly recommend them. Would definitely use them again.”
“Scarlett and her partner looked after our two dogs, Teddy and Benji, while we were away on holiday, and we couldn't have been happier with the care they provided. Before our trip, we arranged a meet and greet, and Teddy and Benji felt comfortable in their home and with both of them straight away. From that moment, I knew they would be in good hands and had no worries or concerns about leaving them. Throughout our holiday, Scarlett kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which was so reassuring and lovely to receive. It was clear that Teddy and Benji were having a fantastic time and were being well cared for. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of them. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you and would happily book again in the future!”

“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!”

“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!

“It was the first time we had ever left Roxy overnight. We were really worried about leaving her at all. However we were greatly impressed with the young couple who looked after her. They went above and beyond to make Roxy feel at home and cared for her exceptionally well, sending us regular pup dates on how she was. They have a great set up and large garden, and are close to a large country park for walking and adventures. We both are very fussy people but we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high standard of care for their dog. We have already booked with them again, as we know Roxy will be well cared for.”
“Laura and Matt took such great care of Zola during the 2 days she stayed with them. A few days before the boarding, we scheduled a meet and greet so they could get to know Zola’s daily routine and habits, and so Zola could become familiar with her surroundings. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Laura and Matt again. You can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and treat them with so much love, care, and attention. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl 😊”
“My Storm went for a sleep over as an extended meet and greet to see if Tracy and her were a match.. I could tell instantly that Storm was comfortable. I got photos and updates.. and when Storm was dropped off she was happy.. and as soon as Tracy's back was turned Storm jumped back into her car.. although I wasnt impressed that Storm was happy to go back off with Tracy it gave me comfort that she had clearly given her the care and love that she receives at home... have already rebooked for a longer stay.. I just hope I get a better greeting off Storm after my trip. Thank you, 🐾”
“We were very apprehensive about leaving our dog Hugo in the care of people we have never met.. but we needn’t of worried.. As right from the start Natalie and Mark put are minds at rest. Kept us updated with pictures videos and story’s what Hugo had done in the day.. they are brilliant with Dogs and really professional at what they do!! We are already booking in with them again .. Are nearly 10 year old Spaniel has had a fabulous time. He will miss his doggy friends. Thanks so much to Natalie and Mark for having Hugo and making his holiday special with you.. Karen and Darren Pinner”
“Megan and her family were fantastic. We were so worried about leaving Henry with someone I’d just found on the Rover website! But I needn’t have worried! Henry had the time of his life . He became part of their family. He loved going for walks with Megan and her 2 children . Megan sent regular updates and lots of photos. He was certainly a spoilt little dog ! I would highly recommend Megan and her family to look your dog without a doubt!! What a lovely family ❤️”

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 😀
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
Olivia was great from the time of booking to me picking him up! As the owner of a very spirited 8 month old retriever, I’m always concerned that people are put off by his energy and enthusiasm for everything! However, Olivia put my mind at ease when I met her and took everything in her stride. Olivia was easy to contact and great at responding. She sent pictures throughout the day and also gave some great general advice about retrievers (having one herself)! Heston looked like he was having a great time in the pictures and enjoying his walks! Couldn’t recommend Olivia enough! Thank you!!
Well what can I say, I left Ellie with you both and I was not disappointed. You settled my nerves by having multiple meet and greet days before hand, which not only helped me but also helped Ellie. Not that she needed it, as she was settled after a few minutes of meeting you both - which never happens! Whilst I was away for the 2 weeks, you made your home Ellie’s home, kept me updated with texts and pictures and honestly - she looked like she had a better holiday than me. Thanks so much, would 100% reccomend and will 100% use again! Thanks both, you’re both superstars!
I left Rosie for 10 nights with Georgina and her lovely family, it was the first time Rosie had been left with anyone but family as she is an anxious dog and I was a little worried, but the amazing updates of pictures and messages everyday soon put my mind at rest, Rosie looked so so happy and settled, I couldn't have asked for a better family to look after her she was so happy and looked very well when she came home, I would highly recommend Georgina and family 110%, I will certainly be using her again next year, Thankyou so so much
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Preston on Rover is £33.35 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 2,078 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Preston. 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 North 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 .
