“John & Teresa are so caring, kind and do a fantastic job looking after Bailey when we leave him with them.Bailey loves his walks, playing with his ball blaster and he loves being with John & Teresa. They are both lovely and I never have to worry about Bailey when they are looking after him. Thanks Ann & Bailey”
“It was our first time having a sitter for Spark and I felt really reassured when meeting Tarnya. She clearly has alot of experience with dogs and I knew that Spark would be well looked after. Thanks so much for looking after him, I'm sure he will be back soon!”
“Sheena took great care of my dog over the New year and I couldn’t be more happy. She was brilliant communicator keeping me informed with loads of photos and texts. She followed his routine and even did extra walks. Charlie was very happy when I picked him up. I would be happy to recommend her and will be using her again. Thanks Sheena”
“We couldn't be happier with how Leah looked after Rufus. The photo updates and messages were so reassuring, and it was clear he was getting so much love and attention he looked so happy in all the pictures. We came home to a very excited and well-cared for dog. Thank you again, we will definitely be booking with you in the future.”
About: I have 20 years + experience of caring for dogs, I am DBS checked and first aid trained ( human). Now I have more time on my hands I would love to care for your pooch. I enjoy taking long walks with my own little fella and love being outdoors. I have experience with puppies, nervous and excitable dogs. I enjoy the socialisation puppy and dog ownership brings and love nothing more than engaging with our dog walking community. I offer short walks, long walks, cuddles, play, interaction with your precious and loyal companions. Whatever the weather you will find me walking my own fur baby, teaching him to talk and having fun. I would love to walk more pooches and give them the attention and love they deserve.
About: I've grown up around dogs all my life and they've always been part of my family. While I haven't owned a dog myself as an adult, I regularly care for my sister's dog, both in her home and in my own flat, so I'm comfortable with day-to-day routines, walks, feeding, playtime and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I work remotely from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to care for pets. This means I can accommodate daytime walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules and toilet breaks, rather than being limited to mornings and evenings. For dogs boarding with me, they will have company for most of the day and won't be left alone for long periods. I can provide regular walks, playtime and attention alongside maintaining their usual routine. I'm also available for house sitting and can work remotely from your home, allowing me to spend more time with your pet and minimize disruption to their normal environment and schedule. Your pet's safety, comfort and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a first-floor flat in a quiet area and take care to provide a calm and safe environment for any dog in my care. Although I do not have a garden, I live next to a canal, with plenty of nearby green space and walking routes, making it easy to provide regular exercise, enrichment and outdoor time throughout the day. As I work remotely, I am able to keep a close eye on pets in my care and ensure they receive plenty of attention and companionship. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I will always follow your instructions carefully to help them feel settled, happy and secure while you're away. I'm also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after.
“Monty had a wonderful week staying at your house. We can't thank you enough for how well you looked after him and for teaching him some new tricks too. We loved the many photos you sent whilst we were on holiday, as it was lovely to see how he was settling in. We will definitely use you again and highly recommend you to anyone. Thank you again.”
“I am extremely pleased with the care Jackson received today, from my initial call and conversation I knew that Jackson would be in safe experienced hands. Throughout the day I was updated with text and photos of Jacksons adventures, and a great one of him having a nap looking all at home and cosy. Exceptional service given.”
“Coco is so attentive with the dogs that stay with her. I have no doubt that Obi prefers her meals to the ones he has at home and loves the company of her dog and others that stay with her. We get loads of updates and pictures whilst we are away, too. We highly recommend Pui Yan (or Coco)!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! Her gentle nature with Rufus made it obvious that she treats your pets like her own family members. She shared plenty of photos and videos and is a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her, and we will absolutely be back. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Rufus he had a great time! x”
About: My boyfriend and I both grew up with family dogs, and ever since moving in together had our own dog. We trained her via doggy school since she was a little pup and took her on many adventures that went as far as moving to the UK with her. We regularly looked after our families dogs as well when they went away on holiday. We unfortunately had to say goodbye to our little girl recently due to age. While we are looking for our next sweetheart, we have an abundance of love, walks and empty spots on the sofa for your furry friend! I work from home, but I occasionally have to travel for work and my partner is only 10 minutes away - both with flexible hours. This allows us to plan our days around your dogs needs! We live less then a minute walk from a big park and can easily go for multiple walks a day if they’re up to it. We also have a fully enclosed garden with space for running around. We’re flexible with your dogs needs, whether they require a crate to sleep in, prefer to sleep on the couch or on their doggy bed, just let us know. Near the end of her life, our dog became blind with different health issues. Going through this gives us experience to also take care of (senior) dogs who have a complex medical history. We have full flexibility for how we plan our working days. Whether we wake up early to go for a walk before breakfast, use our lunch break, or swap our evening sports for a long walk, we will adjust based on your dogs usual routine. With our enclosed garden, there’s plenty of playtime opportunities as well! In the weekend, we are able to make sure one of us is at home for most of the day if required. The garden is spacious and dog friendly. The house has enough room to place the dog’s personal bed or crate if needed. They are more then welcome to join us (and sleep) on our sofa as well. Feeding and walking are arranged to what they are used to, no matter how many times a day. Different medical routines are easily incorporated - experience with eye drops as well as regular pills.
“Edwin amd Josh are fantastic. Just lovely, friendly, polite people. They took amazing care of Cody for me, along with plenty of photo's and updates. Absolutely no worries leaving Cody and will definitely be using Edwina and Josh again. Couldn't recommend more. Thanks guys x”
“Leo had the best time with Slyvn. He had plenty of walks and cuddles, getting all the attention. Slyvn has excellent communication and provided an update daily which helped put my mind at ease while away. Deffo will use Slyvn again”
“Aphrodite had a lovely weekend with Gary. She loves going to his place and really enjoys the company of the other dog who was staying too. Hopefully he won't be too busy when we need him next 👍👍👍”
“Manu and her family looked after my temperamental frenchie for 10 days, and i can confirm he loved it. Didn't even seemed to want to come home! I got sent videos and pictures daily, he had plenty of exercise and fun play time. Got him back happy and relaxed. Loving family environment, home to home for our pooches. So happy i gave it a try! Thank you! Stitch and Csilla ☺️”
About: Since I’ve loved dogs all my life, I’ve read a lot about their behaviours in my spare time. We have one dog and look after other dogs including senior dogs of family and friends, regularly. Both me and my partner Alex have had dogs since we were children. Experience with training dogs and puppies too. We have a large secure garden for roaming and sniffing. We love to go for morning and evening walks every day and there’s a great walking path close by, perfect for dog walks. On the weekends we tend to go to local parks for fresh air whatever the weather! I understand the needs of different types of dogs, whether that’s energy levels, age or personality and cater their day to suit them. It is so important to be that they feel happy and comfortable with us. If your dog needs a loving holiday home with a stable routine for a while, plus a very friendly happy well behaved dog and two children who adore dogs but give them space, then we would love to welcome your fur baby from your home to ours. Please get in touch :) I work from home with opportunity to play, cuddle and look at your fur baby. I have dog called Jasper, who loves to have friends over so will keep your dog company. We love being at home and one of us is always around. A typical day would be a morning sniff and runaround the garden first thing, or walk and then breakfast. Around lunchtime is also treat time and a little play and fuss, 5pm we’re in the kitchen/garden, and it’s playtime before dinner for dogs as and when adjusted to their needs. Finishing the day with an after dinner walk and snuggles on the sofa. I have a large fenced garden to keep your dogs safe, with my dog loving company. I can happily crate your dog if needed. We have a few areas downstairs if dogs would like their own time/ sleep without being disturbed too.
“We’ve had a great experience with our cat sitters – they were absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, it was clear how kind, gentle, and genuinely caring they are. Our cat Tibby had never stayed away from home before, so we were naturally a bit nervous, but Leah was so reassuring and made me feel completely at ease. Throughout Tibby’s stay, we received regular updates and photos, which meant so much to us and really showed how well he was being looked after. It was so comforting to see him relaxed, happy, and clearly in such good hands. They treated Tibby like one of their own, and we could tell he was extremely well cared for. We’re beyond grateful to both Leah and her partner for their kindness and attentiveness, and we would gladly have Tibby stay with them again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for loving and reliable cat care!”
“I can't recommend Jacqueline enough! She mentioned this was her first time boarding, but you’d never know it - she’s an absolute natural. My dog had an amazing time with her! I got tons of adorable photos showing her smiling, exploring parks, and relaxing in the garden. It was clear she felt right at home and I’ve already booked our next stay. Thank you, Jacqueline!”
About: Since being a little girl, I have found so much peace being among animals. I have owned nearly every furry under the sun (dogs, cats, rabbits, guineas, mice, hamsters and more!) and love the unique personality each animal has. I have a soft spot for rescues, most of my pets have been strays and love being able to show them that the world can be a good place with the right people in it! A few years of my working life was spent in a kennels and cattery, and have recently been running a Nature School for children, where we explore and care for wildlife, animals and the world around us. It has been great to pass on my love for the animal world, to the next generation. All ages and stages of life are welcome, from pups and kittens, right through to the OAPs - and the care I offer is tailored to each animal as an individual. I will ensure I follow your instructions and care plan to ensure everyone is as happy as they can be. I've spent my entire life working with animals and children - and yes maybe you do need to be a little crazy to do that! But I do thoroughly enjoy the chaos and pure love they bring everyday. I'd be honoured to care for your beloved pets, and give you peace of mind for when you can't be there. From July, I will be working from home, so can offer the flexibility you desire. I have my children's school run twice a day, so have ample time between 9am and 3.30pm to accommodate your furry friends. I will also be available most evenings for later visits and walks if required. Weekends I can also be flexible. My large car can fit any size dog in, so can drive to green spaces for walks if desired! I have a large tiered garden, consisting of artificial turf, a bark area and decking. The house is a detached 3 bed, with 2 downstairs sitting areas, so your pets have plenty to of space to choose where they feel most comfortable.During warm weather, dogs can access an outdoor animal friendly paddling pool, and our outside space has plenty of trees to provide natural shade and a cooler temperature.
“Pip had a great overnight stay with David and Angie. He was treated as one of the family as soon as he walked through the door. They followed Pip's routine ensuring that he felt welcomed and at ease and it was lovely to receive photos to keep us updated about Pip's day. We're so pleased that we've found such wonderful sitters who provide a fun, loving and caring, home from home experience. Thank you!”

Vikki has been the perfect match for my pet. She is so sweet and reliable, couldn't be happier, especially because my dog is very sensitive and being a rescue too, he needed extra attention. I explained all the needs to taking care of Apricot and she did her best to make us, and especially him, feel at home. Can't recommend enough, will definitely book with her again.
Thank you so much for having Pip and for looking after him as one of the family. We know that his latest holiday with you, Angie and Rolo will have been enriching and fulfilling, and he has obviously been very happy in your care. It means so much to know he is so well looked after, and we look forward to next time.
Anastazja and her partner were absolutely AMAZING!! I received daily photo updates and I could tell that Aria loved staying with them. Anastazja is the most caring and attentive dog sitter I have ever met. Leaving Aria when I am on holiday is always stressful and worrying but honestly, it was the best experience for me and my baby girl! :)
I am extremely pleased with the care Jackson received today, from my initial call and conversation I knew that Jackson would be in safe experienced hands. Throughout the day I was updated with text and photos of Jacksons adventures, and a great one of him having a nap looking all at home and cosy. Exceptional service given.
Bertie was very chilled when I collected him and seemed quite sad not to be staying for longer. He obviously had a lovely time and had become quite attached to you during his stay. Thank you so much for looking after him so well on his first experience with a sitter.
Would definitely recommend, Alicja is friendly and the updates during Macy’s (our dog) stay were very reassuring. Macy looked very comfortable, almost like home from home! I left a lot of instructions and food prep to store for Macy, as she has a sensitive stomach, but everything was followed and Macy has returned home with a happy tummy 😊 10/10
Charis and Joe were absolutely amazing. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better people to look after Meadow. They instantly put my mind at ease, and it was so lovely seeing how Meadow warmed to them and how patient they were while helping her settle in and feel loved. They gave me daily updates and pictures, which was wonderful, it was great to see how happy she was. They followed all the instructions I left and, most importantly, spoiled her with lots of cuddles and love. I would absolutely trust them to look after Meadow again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rushcliffe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rushcliffe on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 East Midlands 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 .
