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 :-)”

“Sam was really great for day care with our sometimes nervous whippet Flash and his owners! Fun, mixed and social walks, and lots of rest and cuddles in between. Great and frequent communication, with lots of photos and thoughtful touches to ensure Flash had an enriching, exhausting and well cared for day. Sam also picked and dropped off Flash which was super handy, and she ensured everything could be done to build and reassure us with access to our house. Her experience, insight, calmness with all juggling and asks was very appreciated and took lots of pressure off ensuring Flash was 150% looked after, very well. Thank you! Can’t wait to rebook!”

“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.”

About: I'm an American expat looking to make some four-legged friends! For 3 years I lived with my sister and our 3 cats but after moving away, I've missed having the companionship. I also have 2 years experience with walking a nervous dog. I'm an accountant that has the flexibility to work from home during the week, so I'd love to spend hours with your pet, giving head scratches and spoiling them with attention. I also go for long walks in the afternoon, as there is a park nearby my house. I'm also willing to travel anywhere within a 30 min drive. I have a fenced back garden and a 2 bed house for your pet to roam around. I don't have any children and live in a quiet area.

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.
We used this as my daughter wanted to go to Legoland whilst we were in London for half term. I was a bit nervous as I have never used it before. Charlotte kept us updated and took a few photos. There was no need to be nervous as Charlotte said Chief was good as gold and no problems at all. Thankyou Charlotte as my daughter had a great time at Legoland 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Runnymede on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 16,334 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Runnymede. About 86% 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 .
