“Beth and Ross made me feel at ease, as soon as I dropped Snoop off. You can tell they are absolute dog lovers, and snoop took to them instantly. I received plenty of updates and pictures whilst I was away, and they seemed upset to see him go. I will 100% use them when I next need a dog sitter.”
“Amanda and her husband are amazing - Bonnie had a great week with them which meant we could get married without worrying about the dog! Thank you so much - Bonnie has told us she wants to come back already x”
“Where do we begin… right from the initial communication Georgina and Stu were fantastic, answering all our questions and putting our minds at rest. It was our first time using a dog sitter, so we were quite apprehensive, but the service we received was amazing. Georgina and Stuart initiated a meet and greet and then a visit again closer to booking which really helped us. Our beautiful girl Nellie loved her time with them and they kept us updated several times a day with videos and photos which were greatly appreciated. They kept to Nellie’s routines, administered her ear drops for us and took really good care of her as if she were their own. We would definitely use them again if they’ll have us and would highly recommend.”
“Bernard was loved and cared for like he was their own. The updates and comms were fab and we felt at ease knowing Bernard was enjoying his time as much as we were on holiday. Thanks so much!!! We will definitely be booking again.”
“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!”
About: We have a 3 year old cocker spaniel Teddy who we’ve raised since a pup he’s the most loving boy and so so playful just looking for others to join us on walks play dates or playing in the garden! I currently work full time but do 3 days from home! Our boy gets walked 3 times a day and so would yours! We love to go out and enjoy sunrise or sunset walks. I have a fenced garden for the dogs to play in, Teddy will be happy to play and keep them company all day! We allow dogs inside, on furniture and upstairs in our home!
“Zara was amazing with Maple. Maple went off her food so Zara made her alternative meals, she took her on walks and sent me picture updates. Would have no hesitation in recommending zara, or rebooking with her.”
About: I love animals more than anything and as such, I have decided to turn my passion into more of a business. I have been providing care for my family & friends pets for the last few years. As i work from home I am here all the time. I do have my own little lhasapoo who is my magnet, and is used to having other dogs sharing her environment for daily, overnight and weekly stays. I don't like leaving my little furgirl in a kennel, she would not survive that environment which is why I want to be able to provide the level of care that i would expect my furgirl to have in a home environment. There is a local park which we frequent a couple of times a day and we join other friends and their dogs. It is great for socialisation and really helps shy and nervous dogs build confidence. I will not let a dog off their lead in my care unless i am paying for a private enclosed field. I work from home so i am available all day to ensure that your dog is cared for and can get regular breaks and walks. I have a fenced garden and a key locked gate and your dog will be supervised when in the garden. I will keep all dogs on a lead when on walks. They will have the run of the house like my dog and can sleep wherever they want. Equally happy to follow any training that you are doing with your furbaby. Cats can happily roam around unless you would like them separated.
“Kate was fast to reply to my messages and to answer my questions, and she was kind enough to let Peppa visit before I made a booking. I was a bit apprehensive at how Peppa would settle with a new sitter given she has separation anxiety, but upon arrival it was obvious that she immediately felt at home. Kate kept me updated throughout with pics and messages letting me know how everything was going. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks very much, Peppa can't wait to come back!”
“Charlize was so lovely and welcoming from the offset, taking the time to do a proper intro with Luna and I, to get to know her and her partner. Luna stayed with Charlize for 4 nights and looked like she had the best time! Charlize asked what level of communication I'd like and went photos across every day. 100% recommend Charlize and will be rebooking as soon as I need her again 😊”
“Ruby had another wonderful stay with Karen and Trevor, she ran in as if it was her own home and was very settled when we collected her. I'm not sure she actually wanted you leave! We're so happy to have found Karen and Trevor who we know lavish so much love and care on Ruby when she stays...thankyou so much x”
“From our first meet and greet with Andrew and Nicky we felt confident that our dog Amber was in safe hands. She stayed with them for 6 nights and had the best time visiting family with them, staying over in a hotel, visiting pubs and even the garden centre. Our nervousness at how she would behave as she does have some anxiety issues around other dogs did not faze Andrew and Nicky, they are extremely compassionate and caring. Amber had a wonderful time and I only wish we had found them sooner!! Thank you both!🥰”
About: I’ve always loved animals and really enjoy spending time with dogs. We have a dog of our own, a 20-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m very used to energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, attention, and routine. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your dog is being properly looked after while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and keeping to your dog’s usual routine as much as possible. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I give my own, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine. I work from home, so I’m around during the day and able to give dogs plenty of company, attention, toilet breaks, and care. We also have our own 20-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping a good routine are already part of everyday life for us. We especially love weekend walks with the dog, so I’m very used to active dogs who enjoy getting out, having a good run around, and then relaxing afterwards I know it’s a big deal trusting someone with your dog, so I’d always look after them like I do my own. At home, I’d make sure they’re safe, comfortable and kept to their usual routine as much as possible — walks, food, toilet breaks, sleeping arrangements and anything else they’re used to. We have a 20-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, so I’m used to active dogs and would always make sure introductions are done slowly and carefully. We have a fenced garden and our dog crate trained too
“Couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters to watch our British bulldog whilst we went away for the weekend, from asking them if they had dates available to watch our dog to going to collect himst the end of his stay, so polite and always answered any messages we sent across, was so lovely of them to send us photos of our boy whilst he was there and really made us feel better about leaving him, our dog fudge really seemed to have settled in with the family and I couldn’t thank them enough.”
“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.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have long relied on me to check in, feed, and play with their pets. I truly love animals and prioritize giving them the same care and attention I would give my own. I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility and dedicated time to play with, exercise, and closely supervise your dogs! I am fully available for overnight boarding on weekends. On weekdays, my schedule opens up completely after 2:00 PM, making me perfect for afternoon walks, playdates, and evening care. I can easily adapt to your pet's regular feeding and potty routines. I love making pets feel right at home, whether they are staying with me or in their own familiar space! I stick closely to their favorite routines, feeding times, and potty schedules so they feel safe and comfortable. You can expect lots of belly rubs, fun playtime, and plenty of cute photo updates while you are away!
“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”

Luna and Annie really enjoyed their stay with Jamila and Martin. They came home happy and you could tell that they were well settled when we picked them up. Jamila provided regular pictures and updates. They treated them as if they were their own and made them feel at home.
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.

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 .
