“Bethany gave a disagree, efficient and caring service. I had regular updates and videos of a very happy dog. Was almost convinced she wouldn’t want to come home.🤣. With Bethany’s expertise I was able to have a night away wait hour any worries and will definitely use her services again. Thankyou 😄”
“Our two dogs Lucy & Chester had a fabulous first holiday with Alicia. They have never been left with anyone other than family before so I was little worried how they would settle. However Alicia was amazing with daily updates and our doggos were so very happy, settled in her home and enjoyed there stay. I would highly recommend Alicia for anyone looking for a home from home feel for there dogs. 5 star 🌟 . We will be back for future bookings!! Thank you Alicia x”
“Joanna is an excellent dog sitter. We had regular updates whilst we were away which were lovely to receive and put us completely at ease. Bob our frenchie pug loved his time with her. She took him on lovely walks and we couldn’t have asked for any more. We’ll be booking again if we ever need dog cover”
“Excellent care for my Sheba Inu even although he was not as behaved as he should have been. Natalie is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as she is both skilled and knowledgeable about dogs and the care taken is exceptional.”
“Nunu was a dream for our two dogs. They loved her straight away. She was brilliant with us too - super communicative. It was great to leave our 1 year old and 10 year old with her because she was so competent, fun and friendly. Will definitely use again!”
About: I have been caring for pets for more than 10 years and grew up with dogs, cats and even tortoises of my own, so animals have always been a big part of my life. More recently, I spent two years house and pet sitting full-time through TrustedHousesitters, caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels and routines. During that time, I earned more than 40 five-star reviews from pet owners. What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention I can give each dog. I work remotely from home and keep boarding intentionally small-scale, usually caring for dogs from just one household at a time. This allows me to follow their normal routine closely and help them feel settled, rather than treating their stay like a busy kennel or daycare environment. I am patient, calm and confident following detailed care instructions. With younger dogs, I can reinforce the training and boundaries you already use at home, including toilet routines, lead manners, settling calmly and rewarding positive behaviour. I am not a professional dog trainer, but I understand the importance of consistency, particularly when a puppy or young dog is adjusting to a new environment. I am also comfortable adapting care for older dogs, including gentler or shorter walks, more frequent toilet breaks, medication schedules and plenty of quiet time to rest. I understand that senior dogs can be especially attached to familiar routines, so I will take the time to learn what makes your dog feel safe and comfortable. Above all, I am reliable, organised and communicative. I will treat your dog as an individual, follow your instructions carefully and send regular photographs and updates throughout their stay. I work remotely from home, so pet care fits easily into my normal routine. I can provide regular toilet breaks, company and attention throughout the day, with walks before work, during my lunch break and again in the afternoon or evening, depending on your dog’s usual schedule. I also have a small garden where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time and regular toilet breaks. We live just a five-minute walk from beautiful Alexandra Park, which is ideal for daily walks, sniffing and exploring. My working hours are generally earlier in the day, leaving plenty of time for longer walks, play and relaxed time together later on. At weekends, I have more flexibility for longer outings and can adapt my plans around the pets staying with me. I keep boarding small-scale and usually care for pets from one household at a time, so I can follow their normal feeding, walking and sleeping routine as closely as possible. I will always ask how long your pet is comfortable being left alone and make sure their stay suits their individual needs. I aim to create a calm, comfortable environment where every pet can settle at their own pace. I usually care for pets from one household at a time, allowing me to give them plenty of individual attention and maintain a peaceful home. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines. Dogs are supervised in the garden, kept on lead unless otherwise agreed, and never left alone for longer than they are comfortable with. Before a first booking, I arrange a meet and greet so we can discuss your pet’s personality, habits and any health, behavioural or safety needs. I will also ask about recall, reactivity, separation anxiety and how they behave around unfamiliar dogs and people. When caring for pets in their own home, I treat both the animals and the property with respect. I keep to their usual routine, leave the home clean and secure, and send regular photos and updates so owners can feel confident that everything is going well.
“Both dogs looked like they had an amazing time. Frankie was very accommodating with my change of plans and facilitating a pick up and drop off with my ex for jezza. She took some amazing pics of Jeremy too.”
“Mostly when leaving your dog with someone any owner is looking for reassurance that they will be well cared for. Robert gave us that confidence and reassurance from the moment we met him. Calm and caring towards our dog. Would happily recommend.”
About: We have a standard poodle in the family, she is pretty much the centre of the family. Our children love her and the best friends of her. Over the years, we always have animal with us ,dog , cat, at the moment we still have 3 chicken in the garden. We walk the dog twice a day in the woods or in the open fields. Happy to answer any enquires. We will treat your dog as part of the family, as we all know our fury friends are family members. Daily Photo and videos will be sent to the owner to “settle your emotion for your fury baby”😊 Most times We have people at home, we have a restaurant which is fully staff operated, only needs to manage remotely and occasionally pop in to the old town to make sure everything is running smoothly. I have a fenced garden to make sure dog and chicken in the safe environment. There are two or three big fields and park nearby, will also make sure dogs have plenty exercise.
“Matt and Kaitlyn were brilliant with my dog Lola. They kept me updated throughout with lovely messages and photos, including some Idyllic shots of her watching the sunset, which was really reassuring. Lola looked completely relaxed and happy, and it was clear she was having a lovely time in their garden. They were communicative, thoughtful and clearly cared about making her feel comfortable. I’d happily book with them again and would definitely recommend them!”
“Chelsey welcomed our doggie into her home in such a warm way that we knew instantly she would be really well looked after. We appreciated the updates during the evening and our doggie felt very much at home. Would definitely recommend! And thanks Chelsey!”

Amy & Kiran took amazing care of our retriever Mylo! They kept us up to date with photos and messages while we were away for the evening and he seemed relaxed and happy in their company which was reassuring to us as it was our first time using a dog sitter. Would definitely recommend them! Thank you again x
This is the first time I’ve ever left a pet in a stranger’s care but I knew right from initial contact with Rebecca that Arnold would be in safe, caring hands. Her communication is excellent and she’s made sure Arnold feels welcome and loved. Arnold has had huge fun with her dog Finn! He’ll definitely be back!

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 South East 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.
