“Bethany was really great with Bonnie and provides a great service. Great communication and reliability. Bonnie was happy and well looked after, she had great plays with their dog Bruce during the day. I really recommend her”
About: Me and my partner Josh, 22 & 24 have had pets all of our lives and would love to take your pets in as our own! We have lots of free time in the day, plus being able to give your pets the holiday of a lifetime is so much fun :) Me and Josh won’t need to leave your pet on its own as there will always be one of us in the house based on our jobs. We both work away at different times of the year and this is a great opportunity for us to fill a pet sized whole in our life’s as a young couple. I have a fenced garden with lots of space to run around. Alarmed and CCTV house. More than happy to keep your pet in its normal routine and also happy to take for extra walks and special care as it’s your pets holiday too!
“Cannot recommend enough. I was a very nervous booking and they treated me and Sheldon with kindness and the communication was second to none. Sheldon was very well cared for and so was I. Nothing was too much trouble and they made my holiday so much easier. Would recommend in a heartbeat. Thank you 11/10”
“Lorna recently looked after our Jack Russell, Toby, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she gave him. From the moment we met her, she was warm, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to get to know Toby and made sure he felt comfortable and settled. It was obvious throughout that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Toby came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lorna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Toby – we’ll definitely be booking with you again!”
“I’m so happy with Ashley’s care, my dog absolutely loves him and couldn’t contain his excitement when we pulled up to Ashley’s house for more doggy day care. Would recommend to everyone! X”
“Samson has had the best day with Lauren and all the kiddies. He got so many cuddles (which is his favourite thing ever!) They've spoiled him with treats and lots of playtime. He is only 10 months and it was his first time away from his mum and dad and he's had such a lovely, fun day. He's sound asleep now! Thank you so much Lauren xxx”
“Buddy had a lovely day with Harry and came home happily exhausted from all the fun and cuddles! Great comms beforehand and pics sent to keep me informed on the day, can't ask for more!”
“Charlotte was a wonderful carer for our terrier. She was extremely flexible when our plans changed and was available at short notice. Charlotte shared plenty of photos and updates throughout the day and even gave him a new toy. I highly recommend Charlotte for dog caring needs!”
“Sydney, Tom and Bonnie looked after our dog, Paolo and he had such a great time - he actually didn’t want to leave! Sydney and Tom were friendly, and very flexible when we were running an hour later than expected. They were also flexible with drop off times which was very helpful for us. Bonnie their dog got along very with Paolo, and so we are looking forward to them having our dog again. Thoroughly recommend them to look after your dog! 🐶”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rochford on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 8,768 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Rochford. About 87% of Rochford 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 Rochford 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 East of 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.
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.
