“Joanne was excellent. She took great care of my dog. She kept in touch with updates and photos and I felt confident that my dog was happy in her care. My dog can show signs of anxiety, but he was calm relaxed and happy when he came home, so I know he had a good time. Thanks Joanne. You’re a star!”
About: In the last 10 years I've regularly looked after several dogs owned by family members. This ranges from cockapoos to German shepherds of various ages. I live within walking distance to Crosby beach with my fiance and our lazy cat Lei. I work from home 2 days a week with weekends free. On days when I'm working in the office, I'm back home by 17:30. My partner runs a restaurant in town which opens in the afternoons, so is free most mornings. We have a walled patio garden at the back of the house and are within a 5 minute walk to Crosby beach which is perfect for dog walking.
“Saoirse was amazing with my dixie xx I couldn’t have found any one better. Dixie hasn’t had the best experiences with boarding which has left her extremely stressed and we really needed someone to have patience, love, cuddles and time for her xx And that’s exactly what she got with Saoirse xx I received pictures, updates which made me feel incredibly calm knowing she was comfortable and in safe loving hands xxx I can’t thank you enough and how amazing and chilled she was returning home xx I will absolutely because using Saoirse again xxx see you soon xxx”
“Amazing experience from start to finish! I was feeling anxious about leaving Archie for the first time however I felt completely at ease with instant updates and pics 😊 can tell Archie had a lovely time as he’s very happy and relaxed! Jack really stepped up to help us last minute as another sitter cancelled on us and was so flexible and helpful. Thank you so much Jack! We are very grateful and Archie is looking forward to staying again in august! 😃💙”
“Trisha, Shane & Juliet - thank you so much for looking after Socks this week after i needed to travel away for work. Socks had a fantastic time staying with you & had lots of play with Juliet, snuggles and walks with you both. You did a fantastic job of keeping me up to date on how Socks was & what she had been up doing. Have no hesitation in recommending you to others to look after their furry friends. Socks is already looking forward to visiting you all again in August. Thank you again.”
“Arnold stayed with Tiffany & Matt for two weeks and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We received regular updates and they let Arnold treat their home as his own. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!! Can’t thank them both enough!”
“Cristina was amazing with our pup, she made us feel completely at ease leaving clover for the first time and I think clo really thrived being around Zelda! We are really grateful that our big girl was completely understood as the big excited puppy she is, we would 100% use Cristina again!”
“Opie had a great stay! From the start, everything felt really professional—they provided a form to fill out and arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which gave me a lot of confidence. During his day and overnight stay, I was kept regularly updated on how Opie was doing and what he was getting up to, which I really appreciated. It made me feel relaxed knowing he was in good hands. Overall, a very positive experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”
“One of the best sitters we've had the pleasure of meeting. Extremely patient and flexible for our dire circumstances. Was always available and happy to help out. If you need a dog sitter, Violeta is the best choice you will make.”
About: I’ve taken care of different breads of dogs from a young age, growing up with both a high energy Labrador retriever and calmer Cookerpoo. Currently living with my partner and our energetic sprocker spaniel, Pepper. We walk pepper atleast twice a day, often in local woodlands and parks as well as playing fetch in our fenced garden. Available for dog walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I currently work flexibly from home 3 days per week and often finish before 4pm. On weekdays I can offer walks or drop ins to suit you and your dogs needs. I do not work weekends so can offer overnight stays Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights as well as walks and drop ins on these days. I will be available to feed, walk and play with your dog anytime during their stay. Any days when I am not at home I will not include in my schedule. I have a securely fenced garden for your dogs to play in and a dog of my own for yours to play with. Our dog is also crate trained so if your dog needs some time to themselves this can be accommodated for.
“Mike was great with Rupert, our old fox terrier, who is almost fully blind! Mike's flat was great for Rupert to roam around and he felt at home soon after I left him. I would highly recommend Mike if you are looking for a sitter.”
“Kelly was AMAZING. Every time we go away I’ll be booking her! Her home is beautiful and her family all loved Raj. I had loads of pics, vids and updates and I loved seeing Raj so happy. Raj has a sore paw and he was cared for so well. I am so happy. You would be so lucky to have Kelly mind your pet xxx”

Kayleigh is welcoming, friendly and experienced in caring for dogs and their needs. Our frenchie was totally at home and we were kept updated with messages, pics and videos. Would totally recommend booking with Kayleigh - we’ll definitely be rebooking when we next need a sitter. 👍🏻👍🏻
Simon boarded and took care of our German Shepherd for a week in May. He took him for regular walks and took into account the hot weather, so in the evening on the local park and beach when it was cooler. We could tell as soon as we met Simon, he was a dog lover and our Max took to him straight away. When we picked Max up, he looked comfortable at Simon's place and we'll looked after. Would happily ask Simon to look after him in the future.
Hannah looked after our Labrador Retriever Eddie on fairly short notice, for 2 nights. She was brilliant, keeping in touch with us and sending photographs. Eddie seemed really settled and at home with her and we really had peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hannah and would certainly have Eddie spend time with her again

FAQs for Boarding - Sefton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sefton on Rover is £36.8 per night (as of July 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 North West England 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 .
