“Tahra was a super sitter - very patient with our sensitive soul who takes a wee while to settle into a new place. Lots of sofa cuddles and natural treats were offered to our hound and the property has a high secure garden - great for big sighthounds that can jump! Definitely recommend Tahra. Thank you ! 🙏”
About: Hi, We're Lauren & Mike! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of our lives and caring for them comes naturally to us. We have a combined 15 years of experience living and caring for dogs, from playful puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience. We're comfortable with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and giving plenty of love and attention. If needed, we can also handle, crate training, special diets, etc. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, so we treat every pet like our own — with kindness, respect, and lots of snuggles. Whether it’s a long walk, a cosy cuddle session, or just making sure your pet feels safe while you’re away, we've got you covered. We have a young Sprocker Spaniel called Archie who absolutely loves to play, so your best friend will be in very good company. We'd love the chance to meet your pet and give them the care they deserve! 💕 Mike works from home and I finish at 3:30pm on Thursday & Fridays. There will be someone here 24/7 while your pet is with us. We are available weekdays & weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. When caring for pets in our home, we make sure the environment is clean, pet-friendly, and free from hazards. We keep a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, and playtime so pets feel secure and relaxed. If your pet stays with me, they’ll get plenty of supervised attention, a safe space to rest, and lots of love. We have plenty of space in our garden for your pet to get lots of exercise and we're a short walk from some lovely trails. We will treat them as if they were our own — with patience, affection, and safety always in mind.
“Millie has had two days with Steven and his family and received star treatment. She settled in really well and I could go to work knowing she was in excellent hands. I will definitely be using Steven again when he has availability and would recommend him to all friends and family.”
About: I currently work within a school environment and I am a big animal lover. I’ve always had dogs, ranging from small breeds to the larger breeds. I have experience with cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, hamsters, birds and horses. I also possess a HND in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I am currently working within a school, animals are my passion and hobby, so would like to combine the two and get to meet lots more animals to look after. I have two children who also are big animals. We currently have a greyhound x saluki, two cats and fish. I have a secure house and garden with the space required. Animals in my care would receive the best love and care from me, that they need.
“Sylvia was very welcoming to Ralph and very set up for dogs. She sent us photos of what they had been up to and had very good communication. We plan to use Sylwia again soon.”
“We had a great experience with Simran. He looked after Zeus all day and he was reliable, caring, and attentive throughout. We got updates during the day which gave us real peace of mind, and it was clear our dog was happy and well cared for. We’d definitely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable sitter. When I picked Zeus up I could see he had a great time with Simran and he had enjoyed spending the day there.”
About: I am a very caring person that has been looking after animals for the majority of my life. From looking after my elderly dog, pet sitting for friends and family, as well as volunteering at animal shelters and taking care of the animals on my friends farm. I am also completely trained in animal first aid and CPR (Level 5) along with passing a IMDT Level 3 daycare and boarding course. I work from home so I am able to give your pets the undivided attention they deserve, by giving constant companionship as well as being able to provide them with long walks I keep pets well fed and watered throughout the day as well as giving them treats. Make sure that they go out to use the toilet regularly. Take them out daily for walks and runs on the park and through fields. Give them a bath if necessary or requested. Give them a warm bed and a blanket to sleep with if they are not wanting to sleep on the couch or bed (which they are allowed). There’s plenty of toys around the house for them to play with. I have a fenced back garden to ensure the safety of all fury babies.
“We had excellent contact with Antonio & Patrycja including an introduction meeting prior to Lola spending the day with them. We also had regular updates throughout the day. We are really happy with how Lola was looked after and would definitely recommend booking them.”
“Dottie had such a lovely afternoon and clearly had a great time! We felt completely confident she was in safe, caring hands, which meant we could enjoy our day out. We really appreciated the updates as well 😊”
“Josie had a lovely time with Diana. She made me feel at ease that Josie was being well looked after throughout the day and she came home a very happy pup! Definitely recommend and will be using again. Josie already misses Izzy!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had dogs since I was young and now have one of my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I am constantly around all types of animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn. I also want to add that it is me and my sister that provide services and we take care of them with the same amount of care and love. I am home full time so we start of with a morning short walk,come back to eat then they have the freedom to play ,around 2-3 hours later we go for a longer walk and mabye some of lead play, come back eat lunch, play the rest of the afternoon then eat dinner then we tend to run into my doggy friend that live around me so we just end of letting them play for about an hour then head to bed around 9-10 I have a dog myself and she is very friendly once she gets to know your furry baby. We do live in an apartment but we have a gated area where they play of lead.Also there are plenty of dogs around that are always open to meeting new friends
“Alex is great! Our dog Sunny absolutely adores her and they had the best day together. Alex kept us updated on Sunny through the day. We both felt at ease she was in good, caring hands. The report card was a really lovely touch and we'll definitely book in again :)”
About: I have looked after my own dog since she joined our family as a puppy 4 years ago. I am well skilled at training younger puppies and enjoy handling energetic dogs as she can be quite boisterous. I also now have experience sitting and walking dogs on Rover too. I’m currently studying Dentistry full time at university so weekends and week evenings are best for me. Unfortunately, my landlord does not allow pets so I’m not able to dog sit at my flat. Other than that, I am very keen on looking after dogs since I miss my own so much since moving out of the house! After learning how to train my own pup at home, I understand the different ways of using play and treats to make sure dogs are well behaved. I am a very clean person and will treat your home with same respect as if it were mine. With regards to safety, I’m experienced at handling very active dogs and am also DBS Security checked.
“Yesi had a great time with Zoey and Pudding. Zoey is very caring, replies promptly, is on time and sends tons of pictures throughout the day. Highly recommend! ❤️ Would definitely use again!”

I cannot recommend Tahra highly enough. My dog is very anxious, and this was the first time we had ever left her with someone she didn’t know, so naturally we were quite nervous. From the moment we met Tahra, we could see how calm and comfortable our dog was around her, which immediately put us at ease. We received updates very quickly, and it was clear that our dog had settled in and was happy and relaxed. Tahra is incredibly kind, caring and professional, and it’s obvious how much she genuinely loves animals. Finding someone you can completely trust with your pet is priceless, and we are so grateful to have found Tahra. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of her!
My Howie is quite anxious and usually takes a little bit to warm to people, but within three minutes of meeting Emily he had his feet on her shoulder and was licking her ear! She was wonderful with him, looked after him on a very hot day, and he came home contented. I’ll absolutely use Emily again, she’s brilliant!
Lorren has such a warm and welcoming personality. Positive vibes all round, Ronnie took to her straight away. All that matters to me is that baby is comfortable and the sitter comfortable with Ronnie. There was continuous communication with updates. I will definitely be in touch with Lorren when needed and would recommend her 100%. Thank you Lorren xx
Our two doggos absolutely loved their day with Alberto and Kira. They came home and slept all evening. I will definitely be using Alberto for our regular dog sitting. After initially feeling anxious about leaving the dogs with another person, we immediately felt reassured that these guys would take good care of our dogs as soon as we walked in their very welcoming and loving home. They both have a new best friend in Kira and a home away from home. Thank you guys. See you soon!! 💗
Rachel was great looking after our 14 week old golden retriever puppy. She kept us updated throughout the day on his activities and feeding as well as sending us pictures and videos. This made us see and feel at ease with our first puppy daycare. Our puppy came home after enjoying a fun filled day, playing, napping and out to the park. Rachel was prepared with all the dog necessities and it always clear she is a dog lover and handles dogs really well. We definitely would use Rachel again and recommend her! Thank you Rachel!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sandwell on Rover is £26.45 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,310 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Sandwell. About 87% of Sandwell 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 Sandwell 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 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.
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 .
