“She was wonderful with Wilford, we were greeted with warmth when dropping him off/picking him up and felt safe leaving him there for the night. Constant pictures and videos of his evening and morning whilst we were out ourselves which we loved”
“Sarah looked after my dog Diva with love and care. This is the very first time using the site and no doubt I will re book Sarah again. Diva had a Fantastic stay.Even though I was apprehensive leaving my dog with anyone, Sarah did us proud. Well done Sarah!”
“We were really nervous leaving our Cockapoo Puppy, Enzo overnight with a stranger. Enzo suffers from separation anxiety and we had never previously left him for more than a few hours. We visited Maria before confirming the booking for an overnight stay. We found her and her partner to be a lovely couple with a genuine fondness for dogs. We were still apprehensive when we dropped Enzo off for his stay and a little concerned that Maria also had another dog staying. However Enzo soon settled down and was very relaxed when we picked him up the next morning. Maria sent regular updates with video clips and text msgs to show how well Enzo was getting on throughout his stay. We would not hesitate to use Maria again or recommend her to anyone.”
“Cannot thank Ruth enough, the care she gives and the wonderful walks she takes my dog on, always highly recommend her, she goes above and beyond. Thank you Ruth from me and little Lulu. x 🐕”
“Sue and her husband looked after our 10 month old border terrier for 8 nights. Sue kept us updated with brilliant photos of all the wonderful walks Reg was having and I could see he was loving his time there. I would not hesitate to book with Sue again.”
“Wonderful boarder for our dog 🥰 so grateful for all the care. Dog walks, playtime, cuddles in abundance. Stuck to the dogs home comforts to help her settle in . Loads of pictures to update us on her adventures. We were so grateful. 5 Star boarder. Would hesitate to recommend and use again.”
“Our previous sitter cancelled on us at the last minute and Beatrice stepped in with almost no notice to look after Sasha. She was really easy to deal with and made us feel completely at ease about leaving her. She kept sending photos and you could tell Sasha felt welcome and really enjoyed the walks to the beach. She looked properly happy and relaxed the whole time. Beatrice’s dog also welcomed Sasha home and was so playful and relaxed with her, which made a big difference. We’ll definitely be asking her again. 100% recommended.”
“We had never left Matilda with non-family before so were worried but we had a lovely meet with Patri before our booking date and this really put our minds at rest and we knew that Matilda would be well looked after and we had nothing to worry about. Patri asked all the right questions to ensure she gave Tilda the best care. When we left her she was not at all bothered and Patri sent us photos to show she practically went straight to sleep :) Thank you Patri, we certainly enjoyed our event more not worrying about Tilda and knowing she was in good hands,”
“Dawn sent loads of photo updates and kept us updated through out Bronson's stay making us feel at ease. Bronson and Obi had a great time together with loads of walks locally and sun bathing in the garden.”
“Sharon is the first person I've used on the app and she was absolutely brilliant! She immediately made me feel comfortable, and kept in touch whilst I was away sending photos and videos of my pup with her family, on walks and looking very content which eased my nerves. Sharon was really accommodating when we were caught in traffic and unable to make it back at the stated time. Thank you Sharon for making Hollie so welcome.”
“This was our labrador, Riku’s second stay with Angela and we couldn’t be happier. Riku was excited to be there again, and he was extremely well looked after by all the family. We had regular updates with lovely photos which is much appreciated. Big thank you to you all!”
“If you need a kind, professional dog sitter and trainer, look no further than David. He took on our newly rescued dog (urgently) with behavioural issues and worked absolute wonders. He was so kind, understanding, and professional from the very first moment. Our dog improved impressively during his stay. David also spent time coaching us on how to practice at home. Super professional and genuinely nice—we highly recommend him!”
“Thankyou for having Lily and looking after her so well , we really appreciate all the attention and care you put into making her feel so at home with you and highly recommend your services to any owner wanting their dog looked after .”
“Rachael lives and breathes dogs. It was our first time leaving Franky with someone else but she was so friendly and understanding and put us at ease. Franky stayed with her for 4 nights and had the time of his life. It was like his own little holiday! He also learnt quite a lot about interacting with other dogs during his time there.”
“Excellent experience with Rakesh and Gillian. Lots of updates on how Bumble was doing and some lovely photos. They were very accommodating when I had to change my dates / times slightly. Both appeared very loving and caring with Bumble. It’s very apparent how much they both love animals especially dogs. I will have now hesitation booking them again xx”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our cat received ( coco and loki ) From the very beginning, Piotr was kind, caring, reliable, and clearly passionate about animals. It was such a comfort knowing our cat was in such loving and capable hands. We received updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind and made us feel connected even from afar. Our cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after when we returned. We would highly recommend Piotr to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring. We will definitely be booking again! ❤️🐾”
“An absolutely amazing experience right from enquiry. Couldn't ask for more. Communication was great all through, with pictures and videos. Harper seemed very at ease and happy too. I would use agai and recommend.”
“I collected Molly today after a 2 week stay with Will. She seemed happy and like her normal self. I was pleased to hear she had been on lots of adventures & would like to thank Will for all the photos he provide of her. Thanks”

Monty love going to Sue's. We don't have to worry about him and she away let's us know what he is doing. You can tell he loves it there as he is knocking on her door as soon as he can get out of the car. I can't praise her treatment of him enough. It means we have a relaxed holiday to.
Our experience with Natasha has been absolutely amazing. She has been very welcoming of our quirky dog and turned him into a dream! When we booked Natasha, our Frenchie was not a fan of other dogs and has never been, we've collected him today after staying for three nights, now walks with others and been an absolute angel! We are so grateful for Natasha having Kobe, and for helping change our future walks for the better! Will certainly be returning for your sitting in the future! We received regular photos and kept updated with how Kobe was. He's come home almost sad to leave her! Thank you very much 😊

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Purbeck
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Purbeck on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 432 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Purbeck. 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 South 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 .
