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.
“Eden was great with Otto, she was a life saver and agreed to have him for me on such short notice! You can tell just how much she loves dogs and I felt really comfortable leaving him with her, Otto can't wait to see you and Bertie again ☺️”
“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.”
“Laura was a great dog day care host. Luna enjoyed her time. It was so nice to know that she was safe, exercised and having loads of fun playing & socialising whilst I was at work! Luna slept all evening after she'd been there all day! Receiving a photo link at the end of the day is good, too!”
“Julia is fantastic with my dog, she understands him and his quirks/needs completely. She treats him with as much love and attention as though he were her own pet and I have been able to leave my fur baby and go to work this week with complete confidence that he is in the best of care and comes home one happy pup! Thank you 🌟”
“Tyler is a fabulous dog sitter! I would highly recommend his services. He’s looked after our old German Shepherd, Alfie, for us a few times and we’ve found someone we trust. Thanks Tyler!”
“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”
“We booked Sri for the first time yesterday and were genuinely impressed. From the moment we arrived, they welcomed our puppy so kindly and made her feel at ease straight away. Communication was excellent throughout — they took the time beforehand to understand her routine, preferences, and any little quirks, which gave us real confidence. During the day we received thoughtful updates, photos, and videos, which were such a reassurance. When we collected her, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable — exactly what you hope for as a dog owner. Our puppy was truly in safe, caring hands, and we’ll absolutely be booking again.”
“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 :-)”
“Vanessa did an amazing job of caring for my large labrador with little notice and loads of flexibility. She asked great questions that suggested she wanted to do the best job possible and sent loads of updates. Rudy loved her! Absolutely the best!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and caring for them is second nature to me. I currently have a beautiful Working Cocker puppy, so I’m very comfortable with training basics like potty training, leash manners, and reinforcing good behaviour. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness, and extra attention they may need. Whether your dog is young and energetic or older and more relaxed, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I run my own business based on a local farm, which means I’m usually at home throughout the day and only pop out to the farm as needed. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship rather than being gone for long hours. I care for pets in a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. I live in a detached house with a large, fully fenced back garden where dogs can play and explore securely. Downstairs has tiled floors, which are ideal for muddy paws and easy cleanup. After walks, especially on muddy days, I have a warm dog wash station in the back garden so dogs can be cleaned and dried before coming inside. Whether caring for pets in my home or a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to their usual routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, to make sure they feel relaxed and well looked after.
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. I work from home and my job allows me to have the flexibility and time to look after your pets needs. Have a 6 month year old puppy to who is good with other dogs as long as they are friendly and like puppies. Live in a terrace house with a safe garden. I have an almost 2 year old dachshund so the house is very dog friendly and safe.
About: Hello, I’m Debby, a lifelong dog lover and owner for over 15 years. I work from home with Teddy, my friendly working cocker. I offer a true home‑from‑home experience: cosy spaces, plenty of affection (only if your dog wants it), long walks, and a secure back garden for safe exploring. Your dog will be treated as part of the family from the moment they arrive. For everyone’s wellbeing, I ask that visiting dogs are fully vaccinated. I'm committed to providing a safe, healthy and happy environment for all our furry guests. I'd love to meet your dog and make their stay relaxed, fun and comfortable. I work full-time from home and have a flexible schedule to meet all your dog's needs. If you let me know your dog's own routine, I will happily accommodate feeding schedules, sleeping arrangements, and other preferences wherever possible. I have a fenced garden to play in and am close to parks and a golf course for walks. Teddy, our friendly young spaniel, is always ready to make new friends. Furry visitors are welcome to use our furniture but must be comfortable sleeping downstairs. Teddy is not crated but happy to crate your fur baby if desired. Any questions, please message.
“Kim and John were great with Lola, keeping her entertained all day and even managing to tire out her high energy levels. Felt comfortable Lola with them in their conservatory and enclosed garden”
“Dovile was incredibly kind, attentive, and made Mocha feel completely at home from the moment he arrived. It was clear that Mocha was very happy and relaxed in her care, we could tell he was truly treated like family. Her dog Hugo is absolutely wonderful as well. Mocha and Hugo got along beautifully, which made the whole stay even more special. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Mocha had a gentle, friendly companion to play with.”

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. 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 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 .
