“Stan has just had another holiday with Millie, he adores her! Millie is so attentive to Stan’s needs (& quirks!) she administers his medication, as an older boy, she happily goes with the flow regarding his walks (he can refuse sometimes ☺️) we feel so relaxed leaving him with her as she treats him like her own, which means the world to us. He equally loves his holidays with her & always returns home a very happy boy. Thank you Millie for being so wonderful with our boy x”
“I can't thank Chloe enough for taking good care of my cat. Chloe was very easy to communicate with, we had to change times and dates due to me moving house too and she really helped and was very flexible. I was constantly updated on how my cat was settling and really nice pictures. Made me happy and I could just relax knowing she was being well care for. Will 100% book again!!”
“This is my 2nd time of having Ann, she is amazing with my 2 dogs , I got a message every day and a photo. Kept me updated about them both and I know my dogs enjoyed staying there. Also a very good handover on my return Definitely recommend to anyone that is looking for a dog sitter”
“Laurie was amazing with my boys and they now have another friend to visit. When we initially met she was thoughtful with the questions she asked about my boys and considered things I hadn’t thought of. She sent pictures of her adventures with my boys as well as being snuggled at the end of the day. I was fully reassured that they were having a great time as much as I was. Will definitely ask Laurie again and would highly recommend.”
“I am glad we chose Karina as our pet daycare nanny. The house was well equipped and welcoming for new explorers! Although my cat is an introvert and prefers to spend time alone, Karina has amazing pets, especially the dog who was very friendly and tried to befriend my cat. She created the necessary accommodations so he is less stressed as he does not like being away from home. Thank you Karina!”
“Rebecca was brilliant with Twiglet! Went above and beyond to ensure she was happy and well fed! Thank you for everything Rebecca! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures throughout of Twiglet playing with Rebecca's dog!”
“We have never left our cockerpoo off with anyone but family! but Stacey was brilliant. Oliver had a lovely time with Stacey’s family, he loves children and other dogs so he was in his element! Thank you for giving us a worry free break where we knew Oliver was in good hands by receiving photos and messages throughout the stay. 10/10 service would highly recommend. Stacey also took this booking very last minute with very quick responses which is very much appreciated! Thank you for looking after Bobby !”
“Liga was great once again, taking perfect care of our little pup (big pup now!). Marley is such a gentle giant with her too. Would highly recommend and Hunny will come and stay again ❤️”
“Simon had our 2 dogs for a weekend and it was like a home from home for them! Both dogs were walked, fed and loved just like they would have been at home! We received lots of photos and updates of 2 very happy dogs!! Would definitely use Simon again, amazing pet sitter.”
About: I am happiest when with dogs, they really are man’s best friend. I am always pottering in the garden when it’s nice, or reading by the fire when it’s not! We also have lovely woods to walk in nearby. I have had dogs for as long as I can remember, but no longer have my own. I am retired and love spending time with dogs. We live in the beautiful Burghley estate so are truly spoilt for walking spots. I am up early to feed the chickens and more often than not, tending to my garden. Would be happy to have some canine company. I have a fully dog proofed garden with large lawn and plenty of space to explore. We have a long driveway, and gate, not that many cars come this way! We walk a minute to beautiful wooded areas
“We could not recommend Abbie highly enough. We have two little dogs, one of which is not dog friendly. We were a week and a half away from going abroad for our wedding and were truly concerned we weren’t going to find anyone willing to take on our little handful but Abbie was so kind, took time out of her day to meet with us twice to ensure her dog and our dogs were fine, and then cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She send lovely videos and photos from their adventures on walks and sunset bbq’s and Bo came back happy that he hadn’t just made friends with Abbie’s little dog Bumble, but two large hound pups that I would never have believe Bo would tolerate. She saved our bacon and we are so happy we have her now for future holidays when we need the dogs to have a home from home x”
“Jakub and his family were amazing from start to finish. He kept me updated as to how Bella was getting on and sent photos of her (having a lot of fun!) She has returned to us happy and well cared for. We used to put her in kennels when we went away, but having met Jakub and his family and seen how well that looked after our pup, we will only use Jakub in the future.”
“Shaun and his family looked after my dog so well - he had a wonderful time. They are very caring and they were very happy to walk and play with my dog. I am very grateful and I will certainly be calling on them again. Thank you!”
“Lunar and Sol had a great time. I found Victoria very communicative- sending us an update of the pupskies each day and you could see them start to settle into it. They enjoyed lots of treats and cuddles and had some great walks and didn’t seem to miss us too much! Would definitely recommend in the future, thanks Victoria!”
“I don't like leaving our dog anywhere really but I did feel confident that he was in safe and caring hands leaving him at Tara's. I received pictures and videos of him whilst we were away and it was great to see him enjoying himself. Thank you!”
“After dropping Latrell off I received regular updates and photos from Paige which really put my mind at ease and it was clear Latrell was happy and having lots of fun with her and her extremely cute cockapoos Malibu and Cleo. When I picked Latrell up he was relaxed and in no rush to leave which was great to see. I’m very grateful for the updates and attention Paige gave to Latrell throughout his stay. I will defiantly book again when I needs someone to look after him and I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for someone that they can trust to look after there dog like there own.”
“We will be using Cordelia again, no doubt. She looked after our fluffy son really well, treat him as one of her own and kept us updated with plenty of pics along the way. Thor looked like he had the best time ever with her and made friends for life with her dogs, too, which he absolutely loved. 🥰”
About: I have had dogs since I was 5 years old - a variety of breeds. I offer a home from home service and try to keep to your dogs normal routines. I have 2 dogs of my own - a Golden Retriever and a Cockapoo - both have exceptional temperaments and are very used to other dogs visiting. I currently work part time from home on Monday to Weds lunch time hence my available times showing as Thursday to Sunday although the beginning of the week isn’t totally out of the question. When I have dogs staying I will ensure that I am around all the time. I have a large secure garden and two friendly dogs. No other pets. I will keep your dogs routine as close to their normal pattern as possible.
“Emma and her family are great. A really friendly and welcoming home. Winnie had a fantastic time. Definitely the doggy home we need when we go away. Your pooch is in safe hands here. Thank you guys.”

FAQs for Boarding – Rutland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rutland on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 942 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rutland. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
