“Bruce had a great time with Aurora. She was very kind and took him on lots of walks. She also sent lots of photos and videos to show us how he was getting on. Thanks Aurora, we will ask for you next time we go away!”
“Oksana did a lovely job taking care of Holly for me. I could tell from her photo updates Holly was looking very happy and relaxed. Oksana was great in communications and even told me not to worry and to drive safe when I was 35 mins late picking Holly up (due to being stuck behind an accident in traffic). I really appreciate your help - thank you!”
“100 stars! Kimberley was a godsend and helped with our dog Coco at short notice. Coco was well cared for and I was sent messages and video/pics during his stay. As a dog owner its greatly reassuring that you can go away and our beloved family pet is loved and looked after so well. Thankyou so much Kimberley xx”
“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!”
“Dominika has been fantastic with my boy…. She went above and beyond to make sure his stay was relaxed and fun. He has made some furry friends along the way who he will not forget. It broke my heart the day I had to leave him to go on holiday but she sent me pictures and updates on him daily and that put me at ease. 100% recommend to anyone who’s looking for a dog sitter. She simply is the best and Rex adores her. Shall definitely be using dom again in the future. ☺️❤️”
“Fabulous Family, An absolute Gem. We have never left our 5 year old Springer with anyone so to say we were reluctant is an understatement, but needs must. I contacted a few people on Rover but Hannah and her family stood out so I contacted her again. Hannah could not have been more helpful and understanding. She accommodated us with 2 visits prior to our booking and she’s just absolutely lovely. They welcomed our Pup into their home and treated her like their own. We had twice daily updates and lots of photos, we could have not asked for more. We are so grateful to Hannah and her family, and can’t recommend highly enough. Sally and Neil Grogan”
“Sylwia K was amazing. I recieved regular updates with pics and videos. Venus loved her stay and came back super tired from all her time playing with Sylwia and her family. Definitely recommend”
“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”
“Anthony was Brooke’s new found best friend, and guess what they ended up sleeping together!! I was so happy that she was connected while I was away . Loads of walks and cuddles. Thank you Anthony will definitely use you again .. Chrissie &Brooke X”
“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.”
“Kerry looked after my dog who was only 6 months old and he has had a great time she has looked after him great and sent me loads of videos and photos of his stay will definitely book again thanks”
“Lauren was truly outstanding. She cared for my 1‑year‑old Maltese with genuine attention and warmth, treating him as if he were her own. From the moment I dropped him off, she made sure I felt completely at ease. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire dog‑sitting period — regular updates, photos/videos, and quick responses that kept me fully reassured.She paid close attention to his routine, his temperament, and his little quirks, making sure he stayed comfortable, happy, and well‑looked‑after. It was clear she understood how important it is for owners to feel confident when leaving their pets, and she went above and beyond to provide that peace of mind.I came back to a relaxed, content dog, which says everything about the level of care she provided. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Pickle and Sushi had a lovely stay. Lots of cuddles ,treats and fuss. Also a good walk, they were tired out😁👍. I had photos and a video so I knew they were happy while I was away. I look forward to using Emily's services again. Thank you Emily and Atlanta. You have two new best friends🐶🐶”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Puppy Sitter! 🐾❤️ We honestly couldn’t recommend our puppy sitter highly enough! From the moment we went for our meet and greet with Patch and Daisy, we knew straight away that our pups were going to be in safe, caring hands. This was the first time we had ever left our puppies while going away on holiday, so naturally we were a little nervous. But we really didn’t need to be! From the moment we dropped them off, we were kept updated with lots of photos, videos and messages, which gave us so much reassurance and allowed us to enjoy our holiday knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. Patch and Daisy were treated as though they were part of the family, not just dogs being looked after. They had so much love, attention, cuddles and care, and it was lovely to see how settled and happy they were throughout their stay. Everything was so professional, friendly and reassuring, and it genuinely felt like a home-from-home for our two babies. ❤️ We came home to two very happy puppies, and it was obvious they had absolutely loved their stay. 🐶🐶 Thank you so much for looking after Patch and Daisy and giving them such a wonderful holiday of their own! We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to use you again. We’ve found someone we can completely trust with our babies, and that means everything. 🥰🐾 5 stars really don’t feel enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thanks again Kate, lewis & family and of course patch and Daisy 🐾”
“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 :)”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have my own dachshund, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your dog. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs, and I’m patient, attentive and caring. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, walks, playtime and cuddles while you’re away, and I’ll always treat them like my own. I work from home Monday to Friday, 8:30am–5pm, so I’m around throughout the day. I can provide regular attention, toilet breaks and company, with walks before or after work and plenty of time for longer walks and play in the evenings and at weekends. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone you trust. I have had dogs all my life and will provide a calm, safe and caring environment. As I work from home, your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day.
“This was the first time that we had left Lotta with anyone and were a bit apprehensive how things would go... but Diana was excellent and kept us informed by text and photographs with how things were going, we found Diana very obliging and helpful and wouldn't have a problem leaving Lotta again, thank you Diana hopefully will see you again soon ❤️”

We booked Glenda to have our young frenchie who had never stayed away from us before so obviously we were very nervous owners. However there was no need for that at all! Glenda was super accommodating with 2 overnight stays before the actual break as trial runs and she took fantastic care of him. I loved getting the daily photos and updates of him out on his little adventures and its clear he really loved staying there. Our first time using this service but it was seamless start to finish so will definitely use again in the future. We cannot recommend Glenda highly enough to anyone looking for your pet to have 5 star treatment whilst you are away, contact her you won't be disappointed, absolutely fantastic 👏 thankyou so so much for taking such good care of our fur baby!
Thank you Antonio and Patrycja, you were absolutely amazing. This was the first time we had used a dog sitter, we met at the park to see if Lottie would get on with Peanut and Snoopy and they were fine, I felt instantly at ease knowing she would be well looked after, Antonio and Patrycja we happy to follow instructions and gave regular updates (as many or little as you would like) lots of walks and cuddles. We didn’t expect Lottie to go into season half way through her stay (she is an older dog and her cycle had become irregular) but they took it in their stride and adapted her care to keep her safe and away from Peanut and Snoopy. We can’t thank you enough for the care and help in a difficult situation with two male dogs to also care for. I would happily recommend them and will 100% be using them again. Thank you so Much Steve & family , not forgetting Lottie 🐶 the spaniel
Bear was obviously very well looked after with Sandra- I was super nervous leaving him as he is only young and never been away from me, but we picked up a very happy puppy after a weeks stay with Sandra. She went above and beyond to keep him for an extra night last minute when we broke down on the way home from the airport which relieved so much stress for us! Thank you Sandra!
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
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
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!
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Sandwell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sandwell on Rover is £32.2 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 1,330 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 .
