“Thank you Sarah, Ronnie had another fantastic stay. I couldn’t be happier with the care Ronnie received! He absolutely loved his stay and came home relaxed and happy. I was kept updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear he was treated with so much attention and affection. Highly recommend—already looking forward to booking again!”
“Rex had the best over night stay with Steve and he came back absoulutely knackered! We had photos through out his visit and Steve was very accomodating around us with drop off and pick up, he was so friendly and treated him so well! I knew Rex would be happy as soon as we dropped him off! Thank you Steve!”
“Our 9-month-old whippet/staffy mix had a great time with Kelly! Her three other dogs kept him entertained, and Kelly sent us daily updates and cute photos from the dog park. He came home happy, healthy and tired! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone else who is looking for a really capable sitter.”
“We could not recommend Emily more highly and will absolutely be using her services again in the future. It is obvious that she loves dogs and she asked lots of questions to tailor things for Alfie, who looked like he had the absolute best time! Emily also sent lots of lovely updates and photos which gave us peace of mind whilst away. He was completely happy and relaxed in Emily’s care, playing away and even dreaming! Emily is an extremely reliable, trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you so much!”

“Wendy and her husband made me feel at ease leaving my dog with someone other than family for the first time. You could see they had built a relationship up really quickly! I received photos and updates the whole time he was there. I will definitely use Wendy again. Thank you so much.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Odie’s first time away from family members we thought kennels wouldn’t be the right solution for Odie as he needs a quiet space being an older dog and after hours of scrolling for the right person we came across Michael. Reading his profile gave us reassurance and confidence that he would be the right person to look after our boy with his home offering a home from home environment, quiet space, meeting routines, patience and understanding of his personality he ticked all the boxes! Michael was quick to respond with any queries before we went ahead with booking. We received lovely pictures and videos of Odie out on walks and snuggled up at his home and he looked very happy and content throughout the whole Holiday.We had no worries or concerns at any point. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future with Michael as he was very kind, approachable and genuinely very caring. Thanks again Michael for looking after our Odie boy and it was an absolute pleasure meeting you. Enjoy your thank you gift🍾 Craig, Kerri, Kids and Odie”

About: As a lifelong dog enthusiast, I've traveled the world volunteering and caring for pups. This has been for friends, family and neighbours in Hong-Kong, Nepal, Brunei and the United Kingdom! Additionally, for the past 2 years, I've been an active volunteer on 'Borrow My Doggy', where I've found great joy in dog-sitting and walking my furry friends. While I don't have any pets of my own, spending time with dogs brings me immeasurable happiness. Their energy, loyalty, and companionship are unmatched, and I'm committed to providing them with the best care possible. I have glowing references from trusted owners who can attest to my exceptional dog-sitting abilities, so you can rest assured your beloved pooch is in loving hands with me. Due to a recent lay off from work, my current schedule is very flexible, as a result I am able to provide unparalleled comfort & convenience in caring for your beloved pet. As a result, I can most definitely house sit and dog walk your precious pet any day of the week, 7 days a week and anytime! In fact, I can 100% guarantee that I can adapt to YOUR schedule with ease. Currently, I am living in a spacious apartment enclosed with a private balcony. I only live with my boyfriend and we have no pets. I live seconds away from Clapham Junction one of the biggest train stations in the UK, therefore I have no issues with travel to and from my apartment. Additionally, my apartment is extremely dog friendly and I live next to countless parks with Battersea Park being the most popular one for dogs of all kinds!
“Dobby had the BEST time again with Kathryn! He came back so happy. He gets lovely walks and all the cuddles. He thinks Kathryn’s dog Alba is his best friend… she’s probably glad to see the back of him and get some peace but Dobby has the best time keeping them busy with his craziness! Thanks again Dobby will see you soon xx”
“Jane is a wonderful lady who looked after our dogs as if they were her own. I received pictures and videos of the dogs which was so comforting and reassuring that they were happy and relaxed with Jane and Gary. I've already got my fur babies booked in for our next trip away.”
“Holly took great care of Pepper at very short notice due to a family member being ill. She was extremely accommodating and caring and thoughtful. Holly kindly sent lots of updates and photos of Pepper having the time of his life during his stay. He had the best time - running around with his ball, playing with Gary the Gull, meeting and playing with his new buddy Ronnie, swimming at Easby Abbey. I knew Pepper was in extremely capable hands from the moment I dropped him off. He was immediately at ease and that had a huge impact on me. I’ve already arranged for Pepper to go back to see Holly in a couple of weeks and Holly would be my go-to person for all future stays for Pepper. Thank you so so much Holly.”
“Our wee cavapoo, Barney had a wonderful time with Carolyn and was looked after so well! Carolyn provides a real home from home and I can't recommend her highly enough! He came back a very happy pup with a waggy tail! He is looking forward to his next stay with her in May! ?? X”
“Lulu had such an amazing time with Becky. She helped me out last minute when I was working in the area, which was really appreciated. I got gorgeous photos of Lulu out on walks and lounging around the house and garden—she was clearly having the best time. She was quite reluctant to leave when I picked her up, which says it all. Becky is so lovely and clearly brilliant with dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
“Elizabeth looked after my 2 year old dachshund over night & he absolutely loved it. They are great sitters and looked after him quite short notice. I was updated on how he was doing with a photo and he had a blast playing with Bailey! Would recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a great pet sitter to leave your fur baby with! x”
“Ella was an absolute lifesaver for us having Douglas while we went to Kynren. 10 stars. Highly recommended Really chilled, lovely home, clearly loves animals and felt confident and reassured we’d left Doug with someone nice while we swanned off to the show. Thanks again for your patience when we were stuck in the traffic getting out of there too. And you managed to take some lovely photos of him something I’ve not managed to get him to sit still for in 6 years! Thanks again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Richmondshire on Rover is £27.6 per night (as of August 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 .

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 Yorkshire and the Humber 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 .
