“Raymond and Jo took such great care of Olaf for 4 nights, we are really grateful. We aren’t from the area but needed somewhere for Olaf to stay while we were on a break nearby. Reading the lovely reviews by others, we felt this would be a good choice and we were right! Ray kept us regularly updated every day, sent lovely pictures, and asked lots of good questions to ensure Olaf would have everything he needed. Olaf seems relaxed and happy and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we are in the area. Thank you so much.”
“Leanne looked after our dog Blanca over the weekend and I couldn't have felt happier with the care that she recieved. I was given multiple updates throughout the stay, with videos and photos as well! Blanca loved playing with Leanne's dog Nala too! Whenever I'll need Blanca looking after in the future I'll definitely be using Leanne again!”
“Bronte had a wonderful time with Laura and came home a happy and tired dog! Laura was great at keeping us updated with photos and videos. I’d definitely recommend Laura and we’ll hope to book again when we next need a sitter for Bronte. Thanks Laura!”
“Helen and Becky were super friendly and accommodating. It’s a little nerve wracking using a new sitter for the first time but I had lots of updates and pictures to help me feel reassured Daisy and Ralph were in good hands. Daisy and Ralph enjoyed their stay and settled well. Would definitely recommend and will hope to book again in the future 🐾”
“I was really nervous initially as I’d never left my dogs with a sitter before. Eleanor and partner were really reassuring and kept me up to date with pictures. Daisy and Ralph were well looked after and enjoyed their stay. Would definitely re-book.”
“Another amazing pet sit from Karrie, always keeps me updated on how my dog Mia is and sends lots of photos. Even keeps me updated on Mia’s progress with the chickens since she’s terrified from them🙈🤣! Mia always has lots of cuddles when she is there and has a great time with Karries dog Willow, will 100% bring Mia back 🥰”
“Coming up from south wales with no recommendations for dog care in the area I found Wayne.. Wayne looked after Blaidd out GSD brilliantly, he kindly had her the whole weekend while my husband raced in Olivets mount. He gave me constant updates and photos. I think Blaidd enjoyed her stay so much she was reluctant to leave and watched him disappear through the window after being put in the car upset to be going home. Great service. Next Olivers mount we attend will 100% use Wayne.”
“Catherine was brilliant with our Dog Remy, she truly went above and beyond when looking after Remy and sent up videos of him having a great time! Can’t recommend Catherine enough 10/10”
“Went to a caravan for 3 nights and had to get a dog sitter for my wee dog Mia as she just wouldn’t settle. Helen was absolutely amazing I can’t express that enough! She answered straight away when I booked, she sent me pictures of Mia to let me know how she was getting on and kept in touch with texts to keep me updated. She has her own three dogs and you can tell they’re all pampered pooches 🥰 if anyone is looking for a dog sitter in this area I would 100% recommend Helen and will definitely be back myself 🙈❤️”
About: We (Alex and Catherine) are licensed and insured home boarders in Scarborough, offering a genuine home-from-home experience with a large secure garden and full run of the house. Our household routine means dogs have company throughout the day. We’re experienced with a wide range of personalities: energetic dogs, anxious dogs, first-time boarders, and dogs who prefer a real home environment instead of kennels. We follow all licensing requirements, including structured routines, safe supervision, hygiene protocols, and clear communication with owners. With a fantastic coastal location just moments from Scarborough’s North Bay we offer great walks and a true family stay for you dogs. We're an early-rising household, so dogs start their day with a proper beach walk before 8am. After that, breakfast is served and dogs can relax around the house while the humans get on with work. Dogs are never left alone, and they have easy access to our secure garden throughout the day for toilet breaks, sniffing, and exploring. Lunchtime usually includes a short walk with plenty of sniffing and a bit of play. Afternoons are a chilled part of the day while the humans work, with dogs free to rest, potter about, or enjoy the garden. Evenings include another walk often a bit longer,as needed, followed by downtime, attention, and plenty of cuddles before bed. Dogs stay in a licensed, home-from-home environment where safety and supervision come first. Our home is fully accessible to visiting dogs, with clear routines, safe spaces, and a secure garden they can use throughout the day. We manage introductions carefully, follow all licensing requirements, and tailor the environment to each dog's needs - whether that's extra reassurance, structured downtime, or enrichment to keep them settled. Dogs are supervised at all times, with consistent human presence and a predictable household rhythm. We maintain hygiene routines, safe feeding practices, and clear communication with owners, including regular updates and photos. Our aim is to make every dog feel comfortable, happy, and part of the household while staying safe, relaxed, and well-cared-for.
“It was the first time for me to leave Monty for this time as he’s only 15 months old and a very precious family member. Monty met Zach and did a getting to you know session and then spent 5 days and nights with Zach - Monty has clearly had a “holiday” I arrived home and he was full of beans and had clearly been very well cared for.. thank you Zach. You will be top of my contacts for any future doggy daycare/sleepover needs.. I can’t thank you enough ..”
“We needed someone to look after our pet dog Lucky for a weekend and found Jaye and her husband on Rover. They were an excellent find and took really good care of him. They welcomed him into their home, nothing too much trouble, plenty of walks and sent us photo updates. He had a great mini holiday and settled right in. Will definitely ask them to look after Lucky again in the future.”
“Great. From leaving the girls to collecting them, I felt confident that they were safe. When they got home they slept for hours. These means to me that they have had a fab time will defo use again.”
“Mica was very chilled and we felt at ease after meeting her. Luna warmed to Mica straight away. The house was clean, tidy and safe. We would definitely use Mica again. Luna returned happy and playful. Grest over night stay. Mica is close by to the Scarborough open air theatre , as we were attending a gig there that evening the location was perfect.”
“Absolutely wonderful. Willow was extremely well taken care of. Walked and fed as required. She had so much fun she was so tired when we got home she fell asleep and started snoring :) Would highly recommend and will use Chloe again!”
About: I’m a confident, reliable and caring pet sitter with experience looking after a wide range of animals. I’m comfortable around dogs of all sizes, including larger and stronger breeds, and I understand the importance of keeping every pet safe, happy and comfortable. I previously owned an XL Bully, so I have hands-on experience caring for a large, powerful breed and understand the responsibility that comes with them. I’m happy providing dog boarding, house sitting, dog walking and drop-in visits, including feeding, exercise, playtime and giving your pet plenty of attention. I’m confident handling energetic dogs as well as more relaxed pets, and I always aim to treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have plenty of flexibility to give pets the time and attention they need. I’ve owned and cared for many different animals, including various species of reptiles and a dog, so I’m confident handling animals with different needs, personalities and routines. I’m happy to provide walks, feeding, playtime, toilet breaks, companionship and general care. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for, whether they are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home. I have a fully privacy-fenced, high-walled garden, giving dogs a secure space to enjoy some outdoor time. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime and toilet breaks, while making sure they receive plenty of attention, patience and companionship.

Excellent care of our dog, Brodie from start to finish. Genuine care for our dog. He returned home very happy, relaxed, which was great peace of mind. Leanne & Daniel truly love animals and go above and beyond to ensure wellbeing. I would highly recommend their services and not hesitate to leave our dog in their care again.
Eleanor was incredible looking after my Dottie from start to finish. She treated her exactly like one of her own, and made sure Dottie could just be herself right from the very first moment. Dottie can be quite nervous around new people at first, but Eleanor was so patient and understanding. She settled in amazingly quickly, which put my mind completely at rest. I loved getting regular updates and lovely photos throughout Dottie’s stay; it was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed she was. 100% recommend Eleanor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind and genuinely great with dogs. Thank you so much! 🐾
I left my anxious dog, Yani with Wayne for an afternoon- what a lovely guy ! He sent me photos of Yani and videos as well as regular messages to let me know how he was … and Yani took over the bed and looked really relaxed . Thanks Wayne , you are obviously a real dog lover and all-round good guy . Thank you so much !!!
Molly is a bit of a stress head when she knows we are packing stuff up to go away, as she knows she will be staying somewhere else. She has returned from Kayleigh's though a happy dog. A lovely dog friendly house where I feel sure she will have made herself at home. Looking forward to her going again soon.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Scarborough
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Scarborough 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 .

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 Yorkshire and the Humber 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 .
