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.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my experience in handling pets at all stages of life—from playful puppies to senior animals with special care needs. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, like housebreaking and teaching commands, as well as offering extra attention and patience for older pets who may need assistance with mobility or medication. I have a strong attention to detail, ensuring your pet’s routines, dietary needs, and medical care are fully met. My commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment for each pet makes me more than just a sitter—I’m someone you can trust for dedicated, personalized care. I'm currently studying part-time from home, always happy to get up for early morning walks or long days at the park. Free most days of the week. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I aim to create a seamless, comforting environment by sticking closely to their established routines. I make sure pets are fed on time, walked or exercised regularly, and given plenty of play and affection to reduce stress while their owners are away. I also maintain the home as clean and orderly as I found it, including managing litter boxes, cleaning up after pets, and keeping their space tidy. In my own home, I offer a safe and pet-friendly environment where your pet will receive constant attention. I ensure there’s plenty of space for play (I own a very big garden), rest, and comfort, with regular exercise and breaks in a secure, supervised area. Both in-home and at-home, I prioritize your pet’s well-being and make sure they feel loved, secure, and relaxed. If I am studying while the pet is relaxing/chilling inside the house, I make sure that I am always in the same room as them so that they are not left alone/feel lonely.
“Super happy dog and owner! Excellent service! Stephane is very skilled in dealing with dogs. My puddle loved him instantly! He was happy to come and pick her up from the bus stop as I live a bit far away and had to take the bus there. But he made it all easy! Stephane took Yuki on long walks and kept her busy unless she wanted to have a nap. Excellent communication all along! Many thanks! I highly recommend Stephane and I will definitely book him again!”
“Elene is absolutely lovely! Firstly she helped me with a last minute booking, when I came in to her beautiful flat she offered me a drink! Above and beyond 🥰 Leon instantly loved it there and her two beautiful doggies got along with him so well! I could tell he didn't want to leave! Also she is so speedy at replying, sends such amazing videos and pictures honestly could frame them 🥹 such a beautiful area she lives and honestly absolutely perfect service! Best I've had on rover and I think I've found my star sitter 💕”
“BIZHEN was terrific. She took the booking at short notice and was welcoming and very communicative. The dogs had a wonderful time and bizhen took some fab photos. Great job. Many thanks. Grant.”
“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.”
“Wiola was great with Flossie. She met with us and Flossie before confirming the booking which gave us confidence that Wiola cares about being a good ‘match’ for each dog. Wiola has a warm aura and sent us regular updates. Flossie was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. Thanks!”
“Melek and her partner Turgut were great! Melek offered to meet us prior to the daycare day as an intro and Toby was very happy to meet them. I was really pleased with their service. Recommended 100%”
“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.”
About: I have been a life long dog lover and just recently got my own fur baby, a 6 month old miniature dachshund named Cadbury. I got Cadbury when he was just 11 weeks old so I have experience taking care of small puppies. I am also comfortable taking care of larger/ older dogs as I have looked after many dogs for my friends and family. If your dog has any behavioural or physical issues please do let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your pups so that they feel safe, comfortable and happy. I know how nerve racking and frustrating it can be to find a pet sitter for your precious pups so I am here to assure you that I am friendly, kind, responsible and will always have treats!! I am currently a full time university student at Kingston University studying biomedical science however, most days I do not have class and am available to pet sit or take your dog out for a fun walk I treat my mini doxie like the true king he is and will treat your fur baby the same way! I believe in positive reinforcement training which has worked well with my stubborn doxie!

“Trixie just doesn’t want to leave! She had a fabulous time at Sandra’s house and can’t wait to go back. Secretly we think she is spoiled by the kids as well. Thank you Sandra”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and understand that every dog is unique. I live in a calm, loving home with my 14 year old daughter and will care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles or simply a quiet place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away. We’re lucky to live just a short walk from the Common, with plenty of beautiful green spaces and walking routes nearby, so your dog will enjoy lots of exercise, fresh air and new smells to explore. I work full time, mainly from home, so your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day. They’ll have regular walks, garden access and lots of attention. My dog doesn’t like being home alone for too long so it’s a routine I’ve installed from when we got her 9 years ago. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my priority. I have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs are free to come and go as they please, enjoying fresh air whenever they want. My home is very dog-friendly. I’m not overly strict – dogs are welcome on the sofa for cuddles and, if they’re used to it at home, they’re welcome to sleep on the bed too. I want them to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible while you’re away. After muddy or rainy walks, I always make sure dogs are clean and comfortable. My own dog enjoys a full clean-up after wet walks, and I’m happy to offer the same to your dog at no extra cost if that’s something they’re used to and enjoy. I treat every dog as an individual and will always follow their normal routine and your preferences, so they feel safe, loved and right at home.
“Kobe really likes George and Georgina. He ran into their home this morning very happy to see them. And this was only the second visit. Rest assured, both George and Georgina are brilliant with dogs and we will continue to use their service going forward.”
“Veronica, Chris and Fluffy were amazing hosts for Charlie for the day. We’ve booked them in for a longer stay as they were so amazing. Great to have such thoughtful and trustworthy people to look after our Charlie. Thanks for everything!!”

Sam and family were wonderful. Great care and great comms! Their home is a lovely, safe space, perfectly suited to dogs of any temperament. Teddy had a really lovely time: she was walked, fed, entertained and she made herself at home very quickly! That’s all down to Sam and I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook in the future!
Princey had another lovely day with Jon . He was well looked after as always . Jon ensured Princey was kept cool and comfortable during the day with access to plenty of water as it was another hot day . Pleased with the updates too . Princey had fun playing with some new doggy friends . Princey looks forward to seeing Jon again soon . Thanking Jon once again for everything - greatly appreciated .
Amal was very attentive and kind to my dog!! She asked a lot of questions which shows how much she care about your dog. And she follow your instructions down to the T. She also noticed the heat and make sure my dog’s comfort is the priority! I really appreciate her attention to details and my dog had a great time with her!
Tilly had our whippet for daycare whilst we went to a wedding. She was great at making him feel at home, she asked us all the right questions to ensure she could look after him the best way, and she kept us updated on how he was doing. We would definitely book Tilly for daycare again.
Ashleigh was absolutely brilliant with Ralph! She was able to dog sit him for us at very short notice, which we really appreciated. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was lovely, reliable and clearly very caring with Ralph. It was such a relief knowing he was in safe hands, we wouldn’t hesitate to use Ashleigh again. Highly recommend!
Sophie did an amazing job. She took the booking at short notice and still found time to understand Winston and Maple’s needs and little foibles. The communication was terrific and she was friendly and loving with the dogs. They had a great time and I would certainly book with Sophie again. Great job.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Richmond on Rover is £32.2 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 16,610 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Richmond. About 87% 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 .
