About: We are a couple in our late-20s living in Surrey who love animals, especially dogs. We’d love to have a dog of our own one day, but in the meantime, we enjoy spending time caring for other people’s pets. Your dog would be looked after by both myself and Josh. Josh grew up in a household with dogs, so he has plenty of experience looking after them and understands their needs. We also regularly care for our friends’ and family’s dogs whenever we can. We look forward to welcoming your dog into our home and treating them like part of the family. Josh is at home during the day, and I work from home twice a week and both home every evening, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while they’re with us. We have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely play, as well as a huge field directly opposite our home that’s perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. We know how important it is to feel reassured while you’re away, so we’ll provide regular photo and video updates to keep you informed and let you see how much fun your dog is having.
“Valeria looked after milo for 6 nights, he took to her straight away and he and Valeria’s little dog became friends which was company for him. Will definitely use Valeria again.”
“Our girl cockerpoo had a wonderful time with her first sitter Gina. She did everything to make use feel at ease as this was new to us. Sent us photos and kept us informed - we were a little nervous because of the heat but Gina is an experienced dog owner and knows far more than us so we knew our girl was on very good hands. We will definitely be using Gina and look forward to building a long last relationship.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we're so glad we chose Varinder to look after Potter. Both Varinder and Josh were fantastic with our excitable Puppy, making him feel right at home from the moment he arrived. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Varinder kept us updated throughout Potter's stay with regular messages and photos, which we really appreciated. We wouldn't hesitate to use Varinder's dog sitting and boarding services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Tilly has had an amazing time with Nadia and her lovely family. She was loved by them like a family member and we came back to a very happy dog. We received lots of updates and Nadia even video called us to let us see her. We will happily leave Tilly with Nadia again.”
“Fiona looked after my little Jack russel for 9 days whilst I was away on holiday. My dog was very well looked after - she was well walked, she kept up with the multitude of medicines and eye drops my dog is prescribed and also sent me regular updates and photos! Would definitely use her again, she was very friendly and very enthusiastic about having Mia around.”
“Amy and family are delightful and clearly love dogs and making sure she had all the information needed for the stay. I know Wolfie really enjoyed his stay with lots of walks, a swim, cuddles and a large garden to enjoy! I was so glad that he had canine company too. Thank you so much for looking after our boy with care and attention. Highlyy recommended!”
About: My husband and I have been around dogs for many years and genuinely love caring for them. We are responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Friends and family have trusted us to look after their pets, and we always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in our care. We’re happy to follow specific routines and are comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. I work from home most days which gives me lots of flexibility and me and my husband would have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! I have a nice fenced garden and two cozy living room area where your pets can stay, play and have fun! I can create your pet if necessary and put pets in different spaces if they prefer to be more alone.
“Thank you, Roselyn, for your excellent care of Jasmine. She was very relaxed in your presence, and it was so nice for us to know that she had a kind and caring companion while we were away. And, thank you for the photo - Jas relaxing and taking in the scenery! Where were you?”
“Freddie had a wonderful time with Lizzy for a few days holiday. She was so kind and caring and respectful of his needs I don’t think he wanted to come home! Highly recommended”
“This was our puppy’s second stay at Kim’s and her first ever overnight away from us. Kim and her husband were so kind and accommodating. They really went out of their way to make sure Rosie felt at home. Kim also kept me updated as to how Rosie was doing. Highly recommended!”
“Our Basset Hound Quill stayed with David for 8 days whilst we were away. David was fantastic! He met Quill before we went away so he could get to know him and Quill familiarised himself with the surroundings area. Whilst we were away, he sent daily updates (photos and videos) of Quill so we felt constantly at ease. Most importantly, Quill had a fantastic time! We will definitely use David again, I cannot recommend him more!”
About: Had my own dog from puppy to old age and trained and enriched her life. Able to offer training and walks and care for hours and can work with your requirements (within reason!) I am currently between jobs so can commit to some week days and most weekends to help you out. Busy person but have time to make for dog walks and care I am not near a main road, have a closed in garden and have shared fenced space for short walks ans access to longer walks and parks for the energy walks. Dogs will be welcomed in to my house and can be looked after as one on one service as part of my home.
“Sally was unbelievably helpful when I needed a last minute sitter! Communication and updates were very regular and I could see Kimi and Alfie were having a great time with her and the children. They actually didn’t want to leave on collection - I will be booking again! Thanks Sally.”
“Offered to help board at the last minute to give my wife and I the opportunity to spend the weekend away. Dogs were looked after really well in a clean and large home. Taken for walks, lots of adventures and lots of playtime”
“Jacqe has been great with our puppy Ryder while we went abroard leaving him for the first time. Lots of pictures and reassurance. We will definitely be using him again when we go away in the future. Happy puppy and happy family!”

Erika is amazing! My little dog had such a happy time staying with her. She was always attentive to Chuck’s needs and never forgot to send me photos, which really helped us feel reassured while we were away. She is definitely a wonderful pet sitter, and I would absolutely choose her again to look after Chuck! 🐾❤️
We needed a boarder for eight days with relatively short notice. Catarina was available, and we were lucky she was. We just picked up our dog today and he seems like he had a fantastic time with her. He has his personality quirks, just like every dog, but she handled everything my dog could throw at her with the highest level of professionalism and competency. I can’t recommend Catarina highly enough!
MJ seemed to really enjoy his stay. Valeria has a lovely home and nice big garden for the dogs to explore. She was communicative and kept us updated on how well he was doing. We appreciated her extra touches - indoor camera to keep an eye on him overnight and using a tracker, just in case he managed to get out. We would definitely be happy to use her services again.
Such a lovely dog sitter. I had best experience with her. Even I could tell my dog was happy with her. She updates me every single day for his walk ,food etc. Always send me pictures. Defo. Recommend. Previously I used other different dog sitters from rover. But I found Louisa one of the best so far & main thing is my dog was happy with her. Usually I pick him from dog sitter he behave bit upset with me. But this time he was alright. Which is good sign. Thank you so much for great service. Defo. I’ll book again with Louisa.
Once again, I booked Tyler to take care of Riley while I had a short break away. Dropped off Riley on the evening of 12th and picked him up on the evening of 17th May. Received a lovely update with photos to show me how chilled and content Riley was. Since Riley had been with Tyler on two previous occasions I was very confident that he would settle and enjoy the additional company of Tyler and his family. I feel very lucky to have found someone so caring and close to home. Looking forward to Riley spending more time with Tyler in the future. Should anyone reading this be thinking about boarding their dog with Tyler, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
Anastasia and her partner were fantastic with Pippin! He can take some time to warm up but quickly felt comfortable and happy with them. She gave lots of updates and we felt great knowing he was in good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have pippin stay with them again!
couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my dog. She took care of him for 5 days and did an absolutely brilliant job from start to finish. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such safe and caring hands. She kept me updated the entire time I was away, regularly sending messages and photos, which meant so much while I was on holiday. It was clear from the updates that my dog was happy, comfortable, and being genuinely cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again! Bear was very loved the whole time. Thank you so much. See you soon.
Amazing! Elysia has looked after our dog in the most caring and loving way. Not for a moment that I was worried even though my dog wasn't never left with anyone apart from friends and family. Elysia made him feel like he was home and always kept us updated about his adventures. I would 100% recommend and book again Elysia.
Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after my dog. She was amazing from the start – so friendly, easy to talk to, and really reassuring. She kept sending me loads of photos and videos, which meant so much and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for the whole time. I would 100% recommend her to anyone. 💛
We had a great experience with Shyla. She is so energetic and spreads her positivity around. She was so caring, attentive, and very loving. Our dog was well looked after (she even cooked the food and fed him), and we really appreciated the communication and updates. It meant so much knowing our dog was in such safe and loving hands. We would absolutely use them again and recommend them without hesitation.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Runnymede on Rover is £37.95 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 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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
