“Teddy had a great time with Matthew and his partner during his daycare session - they were communicative, flexible around our drop off/ pick up needs, and kept us up to date with how Teddy was getting on. Teddy loved all the fuss he got, and the big secure garden to cool off in during the warm weather!”
“Indie stayed with Elsa for the day whilst I attended an appointment. I was initially nervous due to Indie being so young but I needn’t have worried as Indie had the best day and was so well cared for by Elsa… lots of playing, sleeping and a walk. Elsa was friendly, quick to communicate and sent lots of photos & videos. Thank you Elsa, Indie would love to stay with you again in the future!”
About: - I have my own insurance - I have my own puppy, currently 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 am a care worker however I have a lot of animal experience. I have an equine science degree, worked in a zoo, volunteered at rescues a lot and I have a lot of my own animals. My rota is a set 2 week rota - One week I work Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday half day, Saturday, Sunday then the next week I work Wednesday, Thursday half day, Friday. I try to update my calendar availability the best I can! On my days off I enjoy exploring and walking for longer periods, we particularly enjoy Nicky Nook or Beacon fell or a canal walk to guys thatched hamlet. 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.
“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!”
“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.”

About: I have had a strong interest in all animals since being young. I regularly cared for family & neighbours pets from being a child. I now own four rabbits, a hamster, a turtle, fish and a 7 month old puppy named Ralph! Happy to deal with any training and care needs as I regularly train my own puppy and administer medication for my rabbits. My partner Lewis and I have opposite shift work so there is always somebody available. Caring for animals is my passion and I will enjoy the company. We can work around your needs to make it work for you. Happy owner, happy pet! I have a fenced garden and a sociable and friendly dog, so your dog always has a play mate. I have a spare bedroom that includes a crate so we can create a safe space for your dog if needed. I have a field close by and if your dog is not great with recall we have long leads available so they can get the exercise they need. With guidance from you, I would be happy to help with training and socialising your dog to keep them in a routine as much as possible.
About: I offer calm, attentive care with a strong focus on keeping pets comfortable and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I work from home, so I’m around for most of the day and night. This means pets get plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, close supervision and more individual attention than they might receive in a busier environment. I also keep numbers low and prefer caring for one household at a time. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including pets with reduced mobility, slower walking needs and more structured routines. I’m happy to adapt walks, feeding, rest periods and general care around older pets rather than expecting every dog to keep the same pace. I’m also comfortable with puppies and younger dogs, including frequent toilet breaks, feeding schedules, play, basic routine reinforcement and the extra supervision that comes with younger pets. I don’t claim to be a professional dog trainer, but I’m happy to consistently follow the owner’s existing commands and training routine. I can also help with: - Medication where clear instructions are provided - Senior and lower-mobility pets - Puppies and young dogs - Nervous or unsettled pets that benefit from a quieter environment - Feeding and dietary routines - Regular photo and message updates - Cat care and multi-pet households - House sitting and maintaining the pet’s usual home routine My approach is simple: low numbers, plenty of company and care tailored to the individual pet rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. I work from home and am around for most of the day and night, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. This allows me to provide regular feeding, toilet breaks, walks, play, companionship and supervision without pets being left alone for long periods. I keep bookings deliberately manageable so I can give each pet proper attention rather than taking on too many at once. I’m also happy to follow established routines for feeding, medication, walks, sleep and rest times. I keep the environment calm, clean and secure, with care adapted to the individual pet. I prefer low numbers and, where possible, pets from one household at a time so they receive more individual attention. Before a first booking I like to understand the pet’s normal routine, temperament, feeding, medical needs, behaviour around other animals and anything that may cause stress. I follow owner instructions closely and provide regular updates so you know how your pet is settling. In an owner’s home, I respect the property and aim to keep everything as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible.

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.

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

There are 2,036 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Preston. About 88% 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.

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 .
