“Absolutely lovely family who have really made every effort to ensure that our pup has settled in well with them. Our dog rushes up to the front door, tail wagging, in the mornings which tells me all I need to know 🐾”
“When I went to pick up Freddy he was running around the garden having the time of his life with magdalena and her daughter. Was so nice to see, he was very tired after the day (good sign) and I could tell he had a great time. Good communication throughout with pictures and updates. 100% rebooking”
“Our dog has been staying with Laura for a few months now. He always has the best time. She has lots of other friendly dogs that day board which means he always has a special time and comes back nice and tired. Laura has also been great to leave Milo with at holidays, with lots of regular updates to keep us involved.”
About: Hi! We’re a caring and reliable family of 3 who absolutely love animals and understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. Animals have always been a big part of our lives, we’ve had both dogs and cats growing up and throughout our adult life, so caring for pets comes naturally to us. We currently have a beautiful Golden Retriever called Charlie, who we brought over with us from South Africa when we immigrated, and our cat Jag. The two of them are the best of mates! Our home is full of love, attention, and plenty of experience with animals of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. For us, pets are family. Our animals are allowed on the furniture and beds, and they’re treated as part of the family every single day. We want every pet staying with us to feel relaxed, comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away. We know every pet has their own routine and needs, so we always make sure they feel safe and settled. Whether your dog enjoys long walks and playtime or simply relaxing with company and cuddles, we’re happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. As a family, your pet will receive lots of attention throughout the day, regular exercise, affection, and supervision. We’re also happy to stick closely to feeding schedules, medication, crate training, and any special routines to help your pet feel secure and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always our priority, and we’ll care for them as if they were our own. What you can expect: • Regular photo and video updates • A loving family environment • Plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and affection • Pets treated like part of the family • Safe, clean, and welcoming home • Reliable communication and flexible care We’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, feel free to message us with any questions or special requests! Either myself, my wife or son will be home during the day. We never leave our pets alone for longer than a couple hours. Weekends we love to take Charlie to the park for walks and play time. We have a large fenced off garden for our beautiful friendly golden retriever called Charlie and our loving Cat Jag, they both sleep in our room, most of the time on the bed.
“Gina was very welcoming and our dog was happy to be with her. There is a good secure garden for dogs to to run around. Our dog can be nervous in new situations but seemed very settled with Gina. Would definitely ask Gina to care for our dog again.”
“It's been very hard trying to find someone to look after my two rescue dogs, one of whom is very nervous but Julia is lovely. They were excited when they arrived at her property and when I picked them up I could see they had really bonded with her. Very pleased!”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time dog mum and work from home, which means your dog will have company, supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ve had two dogs in the past and now share my home with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Baileys. Raising her has given me hands-on experience with puppy training, daily routines, positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll care for them as if they were my own. Whether they enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved. To ensure a positive experience for everyone, I only accept fully vaccinated, friendly dogs who are comfortable around other dogs, as they’ll be spending time with Baileys. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout most of the day. Walks, playtime, toilet breaks and rest will all be tailored to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm and smoke-free home with my friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Baileys. I only accept fully vaccinated dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, medication (if needed), walks and any house rules, to keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible.
About: I’ve looked after cats & dogs for years and have always had pets in my family. Friends and neighbours always rely on me with their pets.

About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I had a cavalier King Charles spaniel with diabetes when I was a child so that taught me a lot about dogs and being strict on diet and medication. All our family friends have had dogs and my uncles have had dogs. I adore them and would be around them all day every day if I could My beautiful 2 year old Milo is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet, being brought up in a pub environment since I got him he’s been around people and dogs his entire life too. Any dog big or small I’d happily help with your needs! I currently working part time hoping to make this my full time so will have plenty of time to look after your four legged friends! I have a fur baby myself with a balcony that backs on to a park that is 2 minute walk away so plenty of space and time to be able to take them out!

“Marla had a great time with Richard and he handled her with care and with respect for her individual personality traits - namely nervousness and energy! He is obviously very comfortable with dogs and sent me updates throughout her days so I never had to worry about her having fun without me. Would highly recommend Richard for your furry best mate's needs :-)”

We couldn’t recommend Louisa enough! This was the first time we had ever left our 9-month-old Golden Retriever with someone, so we were naturally a little nervous, but Louisa was so lovely, reassuring and accommodating from the very beginning. Archie seemed to have the absolute best time with her, and we loved receiving photo updates throughout the day — it was so reassuring to see how happy and settled he was. Louisa made the whole experience incredibly easy for us, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Archie with Louisa again. Thank you so much for taking such lovely care of him! 🐾💛
Eloise was really attentive to my dog and good at understanding my dog's quirks. It was really great that she was able to handle my energetic and excitable dog, and my dog looked so happy in the doggy day care photos Eloise sent. I would definitely recommend Eloise as a dog sitter, not only is she great with dogs, but I found her to be a polite, kind and responsive to my messages.
Rodney had a brilliant time. Normally he gets anxious when someone else looks after him but yesterday he was very calm and relaxed. We are very grateful to Camille and Dean for taking Rodney for us at such short notice. We would definitely ask them to take him again in the future. Many thanks!
Dhriti was amazing with Milo! She took such great care of him—making sure he was fed, walked, and happy throughout the day. I really appreciated the regular updates, which gave me total peace of mind. Milo clearly loved his time with her. I’ll definitely be rebooking—highly recommend!
Sophie was so thorough getting to know our boy before she took care of him - she made sure she knew his likes, dislikes and quirks beforehand and sent pics to us whilst looking after him. He clearly had a lovely time as was snuggling with Sophie when I arrived to collect. He was super tired after his day/walk so sleeping like a dream now!
So great to have found Holly to help me out with the dogs. They settled in very quickly and from the photos/video she sent during the afternoon, they were having a lovely time with her getting lots of attention. If I'm ever in that area and need help I wouldn't hesitate to go to Holly again - I'd highly recommend her.
Sophie looks after Teddy twice a week and we honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better. She is incredibly accommodating, flexible and always so helpful. Teddy has the most fantastic days with her and it is clear how much she genuinely cares for the dogs in her care. She keeps a lovely record of their time together, sends regular photos and updates, and is always so enthusiastic. The space she provides is amazing, with plenty of room for the dogs to run, play and just be dogs. We feel so lucky to have found her and are truly grateful for the love and care she gives Teddy.

There are 16,484 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Runnymede. About 87% of Runnymede sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 Runnymede 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 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.
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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
