“Debbie & Andrew are special people and it is clear that they have real knowledge and love of dogs. Robbie, our collie, had a wonderful time in their care. Despite the awful weather, they were outside giving the dogs in their care fun and exercise. Robbie had such a good experience! From start to finish, communication with Debbie & Andrew was excellent. This is our first time using Rover and certainly will not be the last thanks to Debbie & Andrew. I highly recommend them. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Irene & Robbie”
“Harry and his family were very attentive and made our little angel feel at home instantly. Ease of drop off and collection. It is clear that Harry loves dogs, they love him, as we came back to a very happy 4 paws. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I am a working from home dog mum to my Italian greyhound Cleo, with my schedule I have plenty of time in the day to take out your dog for lovely long walks and play time. Your dog will be treated as my own, with love, protection and care and will never be left alone. My house is clean , cosy and secure and Cleo would love a little companion in the day. Experienced owning small dog breeds and happy to look after your lively pup or older souls 🐶💜 I only board 1 dog at a time so they will have plenty of my care and attention during their stay with me 🐾 I work from home and have split days so I am available for a few hours every day to take your dog out with us on lovely walks and play dates. I like to take my own dog to open places away from cars and busy roads so she can enjoy a run but happy to also do lead walks if that is better suited to your pup. I am also available on weekends. I have a secured fenced and walled garden for your dog to enjoy ☺️ Your dog is free to sit and snooze on my sofa as they please or to have their own space if preferred.
About: Hello! My name is Inna. I recently moved to the UK and would love to spend more time with dogs again. I’ve had several dogs in the past — two wonderful Rottweilers, a playful Pug, and a sweet French Bulldog. They were all part of my life and my heart. At the moment, I don’t have my own dog, but I really miss the daily joy and energy they bring. That’s why I’m here on Rover — to walk, play, and care for your furry friends as if they were my own. I live in a quiet, comfortable home with a safe garden, perfect for dogs to relax and feel secure. I enjoy taking dogs on calm walks, giving them attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m reliable, calm, and responsible — and I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. Whether your dog needs a short walk, a friendly daytime companion, or a warm home for the night — I’ll be happy to help! 🐶💕 Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits in the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. I offer flexible pet care depending on your needs: – I can visit your home to feed, check on, or spend time with your pet. – I'm happy to take dogs out for walks in parks or quiet streets. – I can also host small or calm dogs in my home if you're away on holiday.
“I contacted Covadonga very last minute in the hope she'd be able to have my dog for a few hours while I visited Bath. The speed in which she replied was fantastic. Covadonga communicated so well with me, before and while she had my dog, it was so reassuring to know my dog was happy in her care. My dog had such a lovely time with Covadonga, I will definitely be booking with her again in the future, thank you!”
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life, so I am very comfortable caring for and looking after pets on a daily basis. I currently have a dog and two cats who get along very well, creating a calm and safe home environment. This has given me ongoing experience managing different animal needs. Through helping care for dogs for family and friends, I have gained experience with different dog personalities and care requirements, including walking and feeding. I aim to create a calm and safe environment so that every dog feels comfortable in my care. I understand the importance of ensuring owners feel confident and reassured that their dog is being taken care of properly. I'm currently a university student home for the summer and I also work as bank staff at the hospital. This gives me a flexible schedule, meaning I have plenty of time during the week and weekends to take care of your dog! Being at home also means I have lots of additional support around me, helping to ensure your dog recieves the best care at all times. I have a fenced and secure garden where your dog can safely run around and play. I also have pets of my own, which provides your dog with some company while they're here. Where I am located, there is a woodland area just a 2-minute walk away with a variety of extensive walking routes away from busy roads, ensuring safe and enjoyable walks.
“Laura is Professional, friendly, and reliable. She and her family took great care of my puppy. I really appreciated the updates and photos. Will definitely book again! It’s such a relief to find a local sitter you can trust.”
“Mindy and Marley had the most wonderful time with Jessica! They were utterly spoilt, with walkies, cuddles and snuggles on the settee. Jessica was excellent in her in her time keeping for pickup and drop off and made what was otherwise a very tough dayfor me so much less stressful. I can confidently recommend her superb care. Thank you so much, Jess💕💕”
“Thank you Matthew and Georgia! You absolutely saved us yesterday!! We had someone booked who then didn’t answered the door, I messaged Matthew and within minutes he answered, and agreed to care for Otis. They have cared for Otis before and he again, had the best time. Thank you both - would definitely have you look after our little boy again.”

About: I have taken care of dogs cats and other pets from a young age. I have walked, cleaned up mess, picked up poo and played with pets many times. I am confident that I can look after any pet. I don’t currently work so I have lots of free time to look after your pet. I’m free most days apart from a few hours between 11-3 on Wednesday. I am very flexible and happy to change my schedule at short notice. I live on the first floor and I have a shared garden with a fence. My flat is fairly spacious for its size. I’m happy to petsit in your home ,if required, and I will make sure you pet is looked after very well.
About: Caring for pets isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I have hands-on experience with small to medium dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need patience and gentle care. I’m especially attentive to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level, because I believe great pet care is never one-size-fits-all. I have experience administering basic medications, following special dietary needs, and recognising early signs of stress or illness. Safety is always my top priority, whether that means careful leash handling, secure environments, or close supervision during playtime. I also understand how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, so I provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication to give owners complete peace of mind. I also have two welcoming and playful resident 5 year old Shih Tzu's Teddy and Dolly who love to meet new friends. I’m retired, which means I’m home full-time and able to give your dog constant attention and companionship throughout their stay. I only board one dog at a time (unless pets are from the same household), so your dog will never be overwhelmed and will receive truly personalised care. This quiet, low-stress environment is perfect for dogs who enjoy one-on-one attention, seniors, or pups who don’t do well in busy boarding settings. Your dog will be treated like family and cared for as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and fresh air throughout the day. I’m also certified in Ofqual Level 3 Home Boarding, which means I meet high standards for safety, welfare, and professional pet care. This training allows me to provide knowledgeable, responsible care in a calm home environment, giving pet parents confidence that their dog is in experienced and capable hands.
“Tom and Abbie took time to make sure Luna was comfortable in new surroundings and took good care of her whilst there. Will get an other introduction walk arranged before Luna stays for a week, thanks !”
About: Hello Rover community! I am writing this while currently on a Housesit/dogsit for another site. I have had dogs in the family for 15 years and have spent the last year looking after our 4 legged friends on and off for family and friends. Just recently, I became a digital nomad (work from anywhere, anytime) so I am exploring things to do alongside my work to give me some balance - so far, dog sitting has been the answer! As a digital nomad (work from anywhere, anytime) as long as I get my hours done, I can work around the schedule you have established with your pupper. I am available pretty much everyday, but later part of the week and weekends are often better. I will follow your established routine. In this way, it's a seamless transition for your dog. I love a good walk in the park, local woods, or the like - and if your pupper does too, we will get on just fine. I won't hesitate to call you should that be needed, but equally, I am keen to give you a break if that's needed (or alternatively, send you lots of photos if your missing your pupper). Your companion will be in safe hands.
About: I have looked after dogs throughout my childhood. I have had my own dog for the last 9 years. It’s been the best 9 years of my life. I work part time as a nurse. I am free during the week and weekends. Always make time for dogs. They are my essence of my life. I have a secure back yard. No chance of escape. Dog are more than welcome to sleep on my bed. Can adopt to the dogs needs and routine.

My little one was in the daycare and had a wonderful time. Georgina was caring, attentive, and kept me updated throughout the day. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. I would happily recommend her services and will definitely use her again.
Scarlett and her partner were absolutely amazing looking after Sasha. They were really flexible with both drop off and pick up and their communication was great throughout, with regular pupdates 🐶 They kept her active, engaged, and really took the time to understand her individual needs. I could tell she was very happy and well looked after! Thank you 🐾
Merlin had a fantastic day with Daniel. From the moment we arrived, he was so welcoming and reassuring, and it was clear Merlin was going to be very well looked after. He came home happy, relaxed and clearly had a great time. The videos and photos Daniel sent from Merlin’s walk were brilliant and gave us real peace of mind, especially seeing how happy and settled he was. We would 100% recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thank you!
Mindy and Marley had the most wonderful time with Jessica! They were utterly spoilt, with walkies, cuddles and snuggles on the settee.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Preston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Preston on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 2,006 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Preston. About 87% of Preston 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 Preston 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 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.
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 .
