“We were so pleased to have found Wayne on Rover, especially as we needed to make last-minute arrangements due to a change in plans. From the moment they met, Ronnie took to Wayne straight away, which immediately put our minds at ease. Wayne kept us updated throughout Ronnie's stay, and it was clear he was being well looked after. When we picked Ronnie up, he was relaxed, happy, and completely himself, which is always the best sign that he's been comfortable and cared for. Thank you, Wayne, for looking after Ronnie so well. We wouldn't hesitate to use your services again and will definitely be back if we need help in the future.”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! I’ve had experience looking after and walking big dogs since I was 10, so I’m comfortable around larger, energetic dogs and know how important it is to give them plenty of exercise and attention. I especially love going on walks with dogs and seeing them happy and excited to explore. I’m patient, caring and responsible, and I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and well looked after. I’d love the chance to meet your furry friend and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away! I'm a driving instructor and when I am free I would love to spend time with pets. I enjoy getting out for walks and spending time with dogs, so I’d be happy to include walks, playtime and plenty of attention throughout my week. I’m flexible with my time and can work pet care around my other commitments, making sure each dog gets the exercise, care and company they need. I’d love to make pet care a regular part of my routine! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for in their own environment. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, playtime and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m happy to spend time with them so they don’t feel lonely, and I’ll make sure they have everything they need while their human is away. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and what they enjoy. Most importantly, I’ll treat every dog as if they were my own and give them lots of care, patience and love!

“Eleanor was kind enough to look after our pups while we had a lovely day trip into Scarborough. Great comms in advance of the booking and she took the time to get to know our pups during an intro walk and to get to hear their likes, dislikes and quirks. Eleanor was super friendly and is clearly a dog lover. Would def use again and recommend. Thanks again! Xx”

About: I’m a retired professional with plenty of time, patience, and energy to give your pup the care and attention they deserve. As someone who enjoys keeping active, I love getting outdoors for walks and exploring local parks and countryside trails. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply some company and reassurance, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m reliable, flexible, and will treat your dog as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I’m retired, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for pets without having to fit them around a busy work schedule. I enjoy being active and getting outdoors, so dog walks are something I genuinely look forward to. I’m also happy to provide company, feeding, playtime, and check-ins for cats and other pets. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can be reliable and consistent, helping pets maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. I always aim to keep pets comfortable by following their usual routine as closely as possible. In a pet owner’s home, I’ll ensure they have fresh water, meals at the correct times, plenty of attention, exercise, and any playtime or quiet time they enjoy. I’ll also keep their living areas clean and tidy and provide regular updates with photos and messages. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, where they can relax and feel at home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while respecting any specific instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, or behaviour. Every pet is different, so I take the time to understand their individual personality, needs, and preferences to ensure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for.

About: We’ve had dogs all our lives and currently care for two of our own, so we’re confident handling all ages, sizes, and personalities. We also foster dogs until they find their forever homes, which has given us hands‑on experience with nervous dogs, unsure rescues, and dogs with behavioural challenges. Through fostering and personal experience, we’ve become comfortable administering medications, building trust with anxious dogs, and creating calm, safe routines for pets who need extra patience and reassurance. Pet care fits easily into our routine because I work from home and my partner works part‑time, so there is always someone at home. This means dogs are never left alone, get plenty of attention, and can enjoy regular playtime, and a calm, consistent environment throughout the day. We provide a calm, dog‑friendly home where pets are always supervised as one of us is always in. We keep routines consistent, follow all feeding and medication instructions carefully, and make sure walks and garden time are safe and secure. Whether in our home or yours, we focus on creating a relaxed, trustworthy environment where every dog feels comfortable.
“Karrie had our girl for the day whilst we took the kids to Flamingo Land and was great with her. Karrie's dog is lovely and so mellow, ours soon settled with her and had a lovely day.”
“Claire is very friendly and is obviously used to looking after dogs, having sadly lost her own last year. Our elderly cockapoo had a wonderful time enjoying two walks and a sit on Claire’s sofa! Highly recommend and intend to book again; thank you Claire!”
“Duke my german shepherd had a fantastic time with Tammy and thank you so much for taking care of my boy. He was so worn out and loved i wouldn't hesitate to rebook Tammy when I visit Birmingham again”
“My pup Beni really enjoyed his day. This was his first day without immediate family around. Sitter, Frances, advised he was a good boy. Enjoyed playing in their home and was comfortable with her. Will continue to use as Beni likes her. Hoping to have a sleep over soon. Thanks again.”
“Catherine took excellent care of our dog for the day. She was professional, reliable, and kept us updated throughout. Our dog was well cared for, and we would happily recommend her services.”

About: I have been a petsiitter, walker, companion for many years. I love all fur babies, recently looked after chickens too. I am First Aid trained and can administer medicines. I have a car, i cover the Ryedale and surrounding areas. Will consider further afield but a minimum of one continous week. Always recommend a meetup before a booking for a cuppa and maybe a biscuit 😉 Recently retired. As i am an animal lover and experienced pet sitter for cats, dogs, chickens i can't think of a better way to spend my time. I cannot look after pets in my own home sadly. I can only offer pet sitting, Vet visits, Pop-ins for all fur babies, chickens, feeding, comforting, walking. Sadly I cannot look after reactive dogs because of past experience.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Scarborough is £25

We booked Robert very last minute while we were on holiday and needed someone to look after our two dogs for a few hours, and I’m so glad we found him. I was a little nervous about leaving them with someone new, but Robert was so calm and relaxed when we arrived. He knelt down to greet them, they were both immediately wagging their tails, and when he took their leads they happily followed him straight inside without a backwards glance! He didn’t make a big fuss of the handover, which actually made leaving them so much easier. He let us know they were both okay and that Dusty had found herself a ball pretty much immediately! We ended up running late collecting them and Robert was completely understanding and just told us not to worry. When we picked them up they were both so bright, happy and relaxed. Dusty came out happily on her lead and Nacho came jogging through the house with his tail wagging before running out to greet me. They were really calm and settled afterwards too, which was probably the biggest reassurance that they’d had a lovely time. I’d absolutely recommend Robert and wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dogs with him again. Thank you for taking such good care of them 😊

Absolutely brilliant. First time leaving Willow with Eleanor for a full day doggy day care. Willow had a lovely time and didn't want to leave! I never worried about her once throughout the day as I knew she was in good hands. More bookings have been made in the future and I would highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Scarborough on Rover is £33.35 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 125 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Scarborough. About 86% of Scarborough 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 Scarborough 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 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.
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 .
