“Kayley and Milly were fantastic with Goose. It was obvious from the start that they really care about the dogs they look after, and Goose settled in straight away :) They took great care of him and kept me updated, which was really appreciated. It was also lovely that Goose got to spend time with their dogs, Mabel and Ralph. They’re both such lovely dogs and Goose clearly had a great time playing with them. Goose came home very happy and well looked after. I’d happily book with Kayley and Milly again and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their dog, thanks so much xx”
“I’ve had my 2 Border Collies (Colin & Belle) from puppies, now both 2 years 3 months old. These 2 nights at Catherine’s were their first ever time away from me. I was so nervous! However, I had absolutely no need to feel so apprehensive about it. When I picked Colin & Belle up, it was so clear how much they had enjoyed themselves & how much they loved Catherine! I’ve already booked their next visit to Catherine’s!. Thank you so much, Catherine for being so brilliant with my dogs & for putting my mind completely at ease!”
“Very friendly and welcoming towards our 3 year-old Golden Labrador. He has clearly been well looked after and is the same relaxed, happy dog when we picked him up after 5 days, which is probably the best indicator of a successful stay.”
“Rachel is a great sitter. She made Jenny feel welcome and took her out for adventures with her own dog Lister. Jenny had a lovely time. She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. Fully recommended and we’ll definitely rebook in the future.”
“Gigi (Jack Russell) has had a fabulous stay with Megan for a couple of nights. She's been well loved and exercised with her favourite games. Megan has provided updates on Gigi throughout her stay which I have found very reassuring. Thank you for looking after her so well. Jon”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better couple to look after our dogs while we were away. From the moment we met them, they were warm, friendly, and clearly genuine animal lovers, which immediately put us at ease. They had the absolute best time — it was obvious they were well cared for, happy, and comfortable throughout their stay. We loved receiving updates and could tell they were being treated like part of the family. It’s such a relief knowing we can go away and trust that our dogs are in such kind and capable hands. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again in the future.”
“Fiona and her family have looked after my Shih Tzu for both day care and overnight stays and I'm hoping they will do so again on many occasions to come. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention they show. It's a great relief to know I can leave my dog in such good hands.”
“Never has anyone cared for my furry baby like Karen and Trevor.My cockapoo Instantly felt at home, wagging her tail and licking from the minute she was through their door. Not only was she well looked after in the house and garden, being actively played with and given so much loving attention, but she was walked twice a day along the canal routes parks and green areas which Boujee absolutely loved; all of this was kindly photographed for me and i could tell when I came to collect Boujee she would have happily stayed longer! Cozy friendly home from home 1-1 doggy care! Undoubtedly we will be seeing lots more of Karen :-)”
“Keely was absolutely fantastic. Catered for penny and made her feel at home (first time I had ever left her). Penny got 5 star treatment and was so well looked after regular pictures and updates too. I know where penny is going when I next go away. Thanks soooo much. X”
“I honestly could not recommend Mary highly enough! She was absolutely amazing looking after Pippa and went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment we met, I knew my dog was safe, loving and in capable hands. Mary kept me updated throughout with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind, and it was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable and so well cared for. She treated my dog like her own and gave her so much, love, attention and care. Coming home to such a happy and relaxed dog says everything! I am so grateful for everything she did and wouldn't hesitate for a second to trust her again. Truly an amazing dog sitter. Thank you for going above and beyond! Linda and Pippa ..”
“Aisha was amazing once again. I was able to book with Aisha a few days before going away for 4 nights after being let down by another sitter last minute and she was warm, welcoming and accommodating like last time. Bronx was so excited to see her and loved all the walks. Thanks again for looking after Bronx so well. Bronx and I would 100% recommend Aisha.”
“Mark has been great with my Nyla. He a calm to the storm of my dog, as she's energetic, can be needy, even though she's adorable 😊 She met his kids, which they wanted to keep her lol. I'm glad I have someone who I can trust to manage her tempermant & give her what she need (outside with her ball thrower) 😅 I'm happy for more overnight sittings while I am at work, as it's hard to find people who are good for your dog who you love and want to be treated well while you're away!”
“Elznbieta and her husband were both so lovely. So very kind and caring with my fur babies from the very 1st minute of meeting them! I was kept updated with pictures and videos and Barney and Suzie we instantly at home with them. Both my dogs were given lots of love and care and ectremly well cared for and looked after amazing and I'm so happy that I chose Elzbieta to look after them and I will most certainly be booking with her again!”
“Nice house, nice area, nice person, thank you so much Maryana! We got pictures and messages thoughout when looking after our 2 elderly dogs and was nice to know they were being cared for. Definitely recommended and will use again.”

I would recommend Beth to anyone, we have never left Jess with a dog minder before , but after meeting Beth she put our minds at rest, she is definitely a doggy person and sent us plenty of pictures and updates . Jess looked like she was on holiday too . Can’t thank her enough, x kiss from Jess
Gigi (Jack Russell) has had a fabulous stay with Megan for a couple of nights. She's been well loved and exercised with her favourite games. Megan has provided updates on Gigi throughout her stay which I have found very reassuring. Thank you for looking after her so well. Jon
She was a lovely mlady. I could see how much she loved dogs. I felt that Honey would be happy there, and when I went to pick her up I could tell she had been happy there. Nicola sent me photos and videos of Honey every day I felt I had no need to worry about Honey whatsoever. I will definitely use Nicola again without a doubt.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rochdale on Rover is £33.11 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 2,831 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rochdale. 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 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.
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 .
