“Amazing. Thank you so much. You took so good care of my 2 dogs yesterday. They had so much fun with lots of cuddles and play. I had regular updates throughout the day to put my mind at ease that they were safe and happy. Would 100% recommend Tahra and will be using her again.”
“Lauren was so friendly and easygoing! Our booking was short notice but Lauren fit in a meet and greet a few days before. Sully absolutely loved playing with Archie and we received updates and pics. You can tell she cares about the dogs she looks after. Thanks Lauren and will definitely see you again!”
About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been a huge part of my day to day life. Over recent years we've had numerous Labradors in the family, including raising multiple litters of puppies. I've helped care for the pups from birth, through those chaotic puppy stages and we even kept one of them, Milo! We also still have his mum, who has had two litters. I'm regularly trusted to look after our family pets when my parents are away, including three dogs and a cat, so I'm very comfortable managing a busy household with multiple pets and different routines. I've also looked after friends' dogs including one of the puppies from our own litter as well as helping care for my partner's three dogs. Because I've been around dogs of different ages my whole life, I'm comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need plenty of attention and playtime to adult dogs who just want their usual walks, routine and plenty of cuddles. I'm a huge animal lover and I know how important it is to be able to leave your pets with someone you genuinely trust. I'll always treat someone else's dog with the same care and attention I'd give my own. I run my own online fitness business, which means my schedule is pretty flexible and I can work from almost anywhere with my laptop. This works really well with pet sitting as I'm more than happy to bring my laptop with me and work from your home, meaning your pets can have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I can work my day around walks, feeding times, playtime and your pet's usual routine, and because I manage my own diary, I have good flexibility during the week for walks, drop-ins and house sitting. Wednesdays are my main client check-in day, so my availability is much more limited then, and my weekends can often be quite busy too. Outside of that, I'm generally very flexible and happy to discuss what you and your pets need. 😊 I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, so my priority will always be making sure they're safe, comfortable and cared for as if they were my own. When caring for pets in their own home, I'll always follow the routine and instructions you give me - including feeding times, walks, medication if required, where they're allowed in the house and any individual quirks or needs I should know about. I'm very respectful of the fact that I'm also being trusted with someone's home, and I'll always leave it exactly as I found it. I'm happy to send regular photos and updates too, so you can actually relax while you're away rather than wondering what your furry child is getting up to. For dogs who would be more suited to staying with me, I also have access to my nan's home, so depending on the dog and their individual needs, this may be an option we can discuss. I'd always want to understand your pet's personality, routine and needs beforehand so we can make sure whatever arrangement we choose is safe and comfortable for them.
“Amazing service. Tamara was amazing with our dog. When we took her back for the second day she literarly climb the door when she heard Tamara's dog. We will definately book again.”
“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.”
“Iveta was very attentive towards Maya & treated her as part of the family. I had no concerns leaving Maya at her house & received messages & pics throughout the day with updates. Thank you so much Iveta for looking after Maya, will be booking again with you in the near future!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Diana looked after our boy for the day. He is an old boy and normally sleeps a lot. On this occasion, he didn't sleep at all but Diana was very patient with him. Even though he was only there for the day, we still received pictures to put our minds at rest. Thank you, Diana. Comes highly recommended 👌”
“Cece was really great at keeping us informed about Rupert while he was with her. She was very attentive and went the extra mile helping my mum when she collected him. Thanks so much!”
About: I am a personal assistant, mostly working from home. I love what I do as I have two fur babies myself. Misiah is a rescue who is 14 years old and I have had Maya from birth for just over 10 years now. I know how hard it is to leave your furry companion behind but needs must and I would love to help!
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

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!

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalised environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-to-one attention, and same-day collection and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose 'can host' section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socialising needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters 'Doesn't own a dog' and 'Only accepts one pet at a time' to find the right care.
Many sitters on Rover can help with collection and drop-off! You can find the cost of collection and drop-off in their profile under 'See additional rates'.
If you found a day care close to your home in Sandwell, you can also explore dog walking as an add-on service, which allows your sitter to collect or drop off your dog from their home to yours. Add your location to the search field to find sitters near you and message them directly about transport alternatives.
Day care on Rover takes place in the sitter’s home rather than at a commercial day care facility. At a sitter’s home, your dog’s care is arranged directly with an individual sitter. Depending on the sitter, the day may include walks, play, companionship, rest and care based on the routine you agree on together.
Day care facilities generally care for dogs in a commercial space. Their staffing, dog-grouping practices and available spaces will vary by facility.
Neither option is better than the other. Your dog’s unique needs will determine whether they thrive in a home or facility-based setting.
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 .
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
