“This is the fourth time Pru has stayed with Tahra and I feel so comfortable with her being there. I receive regular updates and photos. Pru enjoys her time with Tahra!”
“Hannah is a great sitter. Putting our anxious minds at rest with her total commitment and attention to detail. Bella was made very welcome and part of her family for the week. I would highly recommend and most definately I will be using again.”
“Could not have asked for a better place for our dog. We have a Belgian malinious mix, large and energetic - and so was hesitant to how he would be whilst we were away… but Steven and the family gave our dog a great home for over 7 days whilst we were away. Keeping us up to date with walks, and pictures - and even bought a dog toy to keep our dog engaged. Would recommend.”
“Tammy was amazing from start to finish. She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. Tammy is friendly, reliable, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you again, Tammy – we will definitely be booking with you again!”
“We booked Sylwia for the first time on Saturday 27 June 2026 to look after our 5 year old Labrador, Otis. We had a pre meet a few weeks prior. Sylwia was great ! Great communication when we first made contact and she sent us photos of Otis's stay. He was happy and his usual self when we collected him the next day. We would definitely book again. Thank you Sylwia ! ❤️”

“Emily took very good care of my 8 months old cockapoo Remy. This was Remy’s first time staying away from home. I was originally meant to be away for 4 days, very last minute Emily agreed to extend his stay to 5 days and was very flexible with his collection time. Whilst away I received regular updates and pictures. When Remy returned he was still in his routine and very happy. Thank you Emily, see you again soon !”
“Laura and Ben are great with our Dottie. She loves playing with Leo (and apparently bossing Oscar around) and comes back to us tired and happy (and little sad missing the boys). We feel confident and reassured she’s in good hands :)”
“This is the 2nd time Iveta has looked after Milo and we had the same excellent communication which kept me reassured Milo was being well looked after. I am looking to book again soon.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog and understand the importance of routine, patience, and attention. I provide regular walks, a calm home environment, and personalised care based on each dog’s needs. I only accept dogs that are comfortable living with another dog to ensure a safe and relaxed stay. I structure my daily routine around pet care, ensuring regular walks, feeding times, and supervision throughout the day. I’m home for most of the day during the week, allowing me to maintain a consistent routine, and I’m fully available on weekends for attentive pet care. I live in a clean, and cosy apartment that’s well suited to calm, indoor living. I also have a friendly cavapoo girl at home who enjoys gentle company and helps visiting pets feel settled and relaxed.
“Jodie was lovely, great communication throughout, very flexible and understanding. We were moving house and she looked after our dog Stanley whilst we unloaded the van so he was a bit stressed but she made him feel very loved, comfortable and safe. We would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Shortie was perfectly cared for, I got loads of updates, and he seems to have had an incredible day. Zoey was super responsive and accomodating and understanding of shorties little peculiarities. Thank you guys so much!!”

Lauren and her partner were the perfect sitters. Great communication that made me feel 100% reassured that Bill was getting looked after and loved while I was away. He came back calm and relaxed (and knackered from playing with their dog). I would book with them again
We couldn't be happier with the care our dog Bella received. Glenda is reliable, friendly, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages throughout the stay. Bella was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable in her care. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was being looked after so well. We would definitely book again and highly recommend Glenda to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Sarah is amazing, she has looked after Zeus on a number of occasions for us now and as soon as Zeus gets there he knows exactly where he is and walks in the house like he lives there 😊😊 Fantastic communication and always happy to adjust dates/times if needed. I really wouldn’t want to leave my boy anywhere else since meeting Sarah. Thank you for always treating him as your own. Xxx
Our Golden Retriever Nellie had a great time with Sandra while we took a week's holiday abroad. Sandra is very friendly and was always responsive to messages. She provided reassurance which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would not hesitate to use Sandra again, thank you so much!
Paddy absolutely loved his stay with Rachel. She looked after him so well. Took him out late in the evening when it was a bit cooler and her son spent hours throwing balls for him. She kept us updated the whole time. We will 100% be using Rachel again for dog care for paddy and would highly recommend her!
Antonio and Patrycja looked after Missy really well, she settled down well and was taken lots of walks which she enjoyed with their two small Yorkies. Antonio sent me photos 3 times a day and I was comforted that she was being well looked after. They genuine dog lovers and I would hesitate to ask them to care for Missy again.
Lola & Ruby had a lovely time staying with Laine and her hubby. We received regular updates and photos and felt comfortable that our babies were being very well cared for whilst we were away. They came back to us happy, relaxed and in good condition. Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sandwell on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,319 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sandwell. 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 West 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 .
