About: Hello fellow animal lovers! My name is Brendan and I live in the centre of Richmond with my wife and our two adorable and very friendly dogs. I've had them for 6 and 7 years respectively and before that also had 3 cats and various other pets when I was younger. I absolutely love being around pets, especially dogs as my wife and I spent a lot of time with our wonderful dogs over the last few years thanks to our flexible working circumstances, meaning that I especially get to be at home with them a lot and am now happy to share that availabilty with other fellow pet parents. Due to my work set up (working from home more than 90% of the time) I have plenty of time to support pet parents in and near Richmond (and beyond) and am available for regular walks, drop-ins and of course boarding. I looking forward to meet you all and your pets! I work full-time, primarily at home (going to the office once every week or two weeks). Very flexible whilst working at home and able to help with multiple walks, drops and more. We live in a safe gated community with ground floor access and will assess each pets individual needs carefully to ensure a happy booking everytime.

Thank you, Vera, and your family for looking after Biscuit so well. She looked happy and well cared for when I collected her. It’s such a relief to know that she was in good hands while we were away.

Elizabeth has been a fantastic carer. My little dog suffers from severe separation anxiety yet Elizabeth was able to comfort her so that she was completely relaxed and happy. She kindly sent me photos while I was out to reassure me. I would thoroughly recommend her.

About: As a 39-year-old professional who grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and their unique personalities. With years of experience pet-sitting for friends and family, I’m passionate about providing top-notch care, ensuring every pet feels loved, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I’m active and enjoy long walks, and I’d be thrilled to take your furry friend for a stroll through beautiful Richmond Park or other local spots. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or an adventurous outing, I’m happy to cater to your pet’s energy levels and preferences. I also have a car, so I can take them for longer trips to explore new walking routes if desired. Running my own business allows me to tailor my schedule around your pet’s needs, ensuring they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I love getting to know each pet’s quirks and character, and I’m committed to providing detailed updates to reassure you that your pet is thriving in my care. Living in a second-floor flat means I can’t have my own pets, so I’m so excited to share my love and energy with yours. Whether it’s cuddles for a cat or an energetic walk for a dog, I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home with me! As a 39-year-old professional running my own business, I have the flexibility to integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine seamlessly. My schedule allows me to prioritise the pets' needs, ensuring they get ample attention, exercise, and love. Daily, I can structure my work around morning and evening walks, feeding times, and play sessions. For example, I love starting the day with a long walk in Richmond Park, which is perfect for energetic dogs, and I’m happy to spend time cuddling or engaging with cats during breaks in my workday. My active lifestyle means I’m always up for multiple walks or outdoor adventures, and I can drive to different locations for variety if needed. I can adjust my commitments to accommodate overnight stays, regular check-ins, or extended care every week, depending on the pet’s requirements. Since I don’t have pets of my own due to living in a second-floor flat, pet-sitting fills that gap and brings joy to my routine. I also make it a point to observe and understand each pet’s personality, providing tailored care and detailed updates to owners to ensure peace of mind. Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my flexible, pet-loving lifestyle! Dog Walking: I offer fun, safe walks in Richmond Park or beyond, matching your dog’s energy. Walks include water, cleanup, and photo updates. Drop-In Visits: I visit your home to feed, play, and cuddle cats or dogs, clean litter boxes, and follow care routines, sending photo updates. House Sitting: I stay overnight in your home, maintaining your pet’s routine with walks, feeding, and attention, keeping your home secure and sharing updates.

I met Bizhen for a 10 min chat and meet up of our dogs before dropping Ezzie off for a full day of care. I dropped Ezzie off and got a message that she was settled. I then picked her up in the evening and she seemed very calm and happy. All good signs. I then got a full report card and a few pictures of my dogs stay. Communication was good and i felt my dog was well cared for. I will definately use Bizhen again.

At such short notice we were delighted to find Sam to mind our dogs while we went to Wimbledon. He was exactly what we hoped for & needed. We had a meet & greet beforehand to make sure our dogs got on with Oscar & it was fine. Sam was flexible to the unpredictable nature of Wimbledon. Shadow & Luna were extremely well looked after & we were given updates throughout the day. It was so good knowing they were in good hands & we didn’t have to worry about them! I can’t thank Sam enough. I am happy to recommend him as 5* Doggy Daycare! Thank you Sam!

I cannot recommend Rita enough! Leaving frank behind is always tough, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. From day one, it was clear that she treats every dog like family. We are picky with who we leave Frank with and Rita’s outstanding level of attentiveness means that we don’t worry at all. She’s incredibly reliable, followed all care instructions perfectly, and sent regular photo and video updates that truly put my mind at ease (and made us laugh!) If you are looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and genuinely passionate about animals, look no further. We will absolutely be booking again- I mean we’ve booked 3 times in the last 2 weeks - I feel like that says it all!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Richmond

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Richmond on Rover is £32.2 per day (as of July 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 16,704 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Richmond. About 86% of Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Greater London 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 .
