About: I grew up around animals and have a love for dogs and cats in particular although I have been known to cuddle a piglet or a bearded dragon at times! I have always had one or two dogs as an adult. A house just feels empty without them. My love of animals motivated me to complete a degree in animal behaviour. This gave me a really good insight into canine behaviour and the ability to look at a situation from a dogs perspective, this has been invaluable at times. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes and personalities, from energetic young dogs to older pets who need a calmer, more gentle approach. I understand that every dog is an individual and I pay particular attention to how the dynamics between the dogs change when they are living together so that we can keep everyone happy. I always take the time to learn their routine, preferences and needs so they feel safe, comfortable and happy while in my care. I can also carry on training habits or administer medication whilst they are with us. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping to their usual routine, I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. My partner Mandy and I are both working from home at the moment so there will be someone available most of the time for back door opening, company and cuddles. I'm flexible and can usually accommodate your dog's normal routine, helping them feel settled and comfortable while they're with us. Your dog will be part of the pack in our home from home environment. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. We have a loving family home with three children—two teenagers and an eight-year-old who has grown up around animals and is always gentle and respectful. We also have two friendly, dog-tolerant cats, so any dogs staying with us will need to be comfortable around cats and children. Outside, we have a securely fenced area of the garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors. In the summer, they have access to their own paddling pool. We also have a larger garden for exercise and play, although this area isn't fully escape-proof, so adventurous dogs with a talent for finding gaps may need to stay on a lead or enjoy the secure area instead. I always tailor each dog's access to outdoor spaces based on their personality and level of recall to keep them safe. I only accept dogs that I feel will be happy and comfortable in our home environment. This helps ensure a safe, relaxed and enjoyable experience for your dog, our family and our own pets. To determine this, we always like to have a visit from you and your dog to our home. We just want to be as sure as we can that everyone is going to be happy during their stay!

I am currently at home full-time, giving me complete flexibility to dedicate my entire daily and weekly routine to loving, unhurried pet care. I have got a plenty of time to take care of your puppy I provide a fully enclosed, secure garden and a very fun environment with my two friendly British cats and plenty of toys for continuous stimulation and safety.

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.

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.
“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.”
“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 have my own puppy, currently nearly 6 months old. - I care for my parents and neighbours dogs when needed. - Experience working with rescues, volunteering at local rescues since 12. - I worked in a zoo with all kinds of animals, lemurs and cotton top tamarins were my favourite. - Animal welfare is my priority. - I have a big fenced garden if required. - I do not have children, my home is me, my partner and my animals. - I don’t mind reactive/challenging animals. I currently work nights shifts on a consistent pattern of 3 shifts on, 3 shifts off. My boyfriend is home at night, most of the time there is only 1 hour alone. I walk my dog as soon as I get home and then me and/or my boyfriend walk them again in the afternoon/evening time. On my days off I enjoy exploring and walking for longer periods. I have a set routine with my own animals to ensure their welfare needs are always met. I have worked in a zoo and on equine yards so I have experience checking boundaries are secure. I can follow specific instructions for individual pets as I understand how important routine and consistency can be for some.
“Wow what can I say, I've never felt so at ease leaving my baby with somebody as I have leaving him with Matt. Constant updates, so much love, care and attention to detail. I'd book in with Matt in a heartbeat.”
About: Hi, I'm Emma! 👋 I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember and genuinely can't imagine life without them. Having grown up with dogs since I was eight, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and little quirks, and that's exactly what makes them so special. When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. Whether they love long walks, playing with toys, exploring new places or simply curling up on the sofa for cuddles (Cuddles are the best) I'll make sure they feel safe, relaxed and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, so I'll always keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind. I'm experienced with dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments, including those who may need a little extra patience or understanding. I'm confident handling dogs on walks and always take the time to get to know each dog's individual needs, ensuring they have a happy and enjoyable experience. My aim is simple: to make your dog feel as comfortable, cared for and loved as they do at home, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands 🐶 I am currently available Mon - Sunday so I have very good availability and will always try and work around things unless I have pre booked plans. I have a fenced garden & live very close to some beautiful walking spots. I’m also happy to put doggies in their crate if required. Whatever suits the owner.

“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!”

Harry has been absolutely fantastic. Teddy was given plenty of exercise, lots of attention, and came home happy and relaxed after each visit. He’s already stayed overnight once and has been back again for a full day of daycare, and each time he’s run straight in without a second thought which is reassuring and speaks volumes about the care Harry provides. I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended.
Massive thanks to Matthew and Georgia for hosting Ruby! Matthew was really professional from our first contact, ensuring that Ruby was treated the same in his and Georgia's home as in mine. She had a great time and was clearly very relaxed - thanks to Matthew's updates and photos throughout the day, so was I. Thoroughly recommended; If we lived in the area, Matthew and Georgia would be top of our list for doggy day care. Thank you again :)
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. 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Preston on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 2,011 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 .
