“Olivia has been amazing. Friendly, understanding and very kind. My dog had a great time with her. She is fully committed to attending the needs of the dog that is staying with her. I am so grateful and would absolutely use her services again and definitely recommend her.”
“Sheena took great care of my dog over the New year and I couldn’t be more happy. She was brilliant communicator keeping me informed with loads of photos and texts. She followed his routine and even did extra walks. Charlie was very happy when I picked him up. I would be happy to recommend her and will be using her again. Thanks Sheena”
“Looked after Mylo to the highest standard. Was welcoming, lovely and compassionate. I will be using you again to look after Mylo. You catered for his needs and looked after him as if he was your own. I appreciate the short notice and thank you again! 😊”
“Manuela looked after our Cavapoo Reggie for 3 nights, he had a great time. Manuela is attentive, caring and reassuring, she sent through daily pics, videos and updates. Fantastic communication. Would 100% recommend. Thanks.”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, and currently have a golden retriever two years old, called Sam. I work from home Monday Wednesday Thursday and can do weekends. Sam is playful and friendly and would love the company of another dog too, I have a spacious garden, and a cool house in summer. I work from home so can look after your pup. I am saving for a new house so I’m pretty much home all the time! a lunchtime walk and access to a large fenced garden and a cool living room/kitchen. I spend most of the day with a golden retriever so can offer human and mutt company for your pup!
“Leah was brilliant with our Frank, an older boy, they made sure he was well taken care of. Went a little off his breakfast with the heatwave but Leah couldn’t have been more helpful, even picking up particular foods to help him. Lots of pictures and updates to put us at ease. A regular for us now no doubt ☺️”
About: I've taken care of dogs of any kind since. I do my best to make dogs happy. I would love to take care of your dog. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs. I'm available for boarding at weekends. I have a fenced garden and some toys to keep your fur friend busy. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I always take dog for a walk.
“Thank you so much Jamie and Andrea for taking such good care of Otis. It was really reassuring to get regular contact whilst we were away and he was really well cared for and relaxed when we got home. Highly recommend and would love to have him board with you again”
“Emily had a lovely time with Tarnya and her family! Everything about her stay was perfect! She seemed very happy and content and we were sent daily feedback on her progress which was very comforting for both of us. Thank you for a lovely stay and we can highly recommend for any future visits! Thanks again X”
About: I have experience caring for cats, as I own one myself. As for dogs, I have never owned one, but I volunteered at a dog shelter for a long time. Currently, I work at the hospital from Monday to Wednesday. From Thursday through Sunday—unless I have plans to travel out of town—I am fully available to look after your dog or cat. . I have a CAT of our own, but he won’t have access to your pet; firstly, he likely wouldn't want that, and secondly, he is an elderly fellow. I am also the mother of a fourteen-year-old boy who, just like me, loves animals. I have a very decent garden, well-secured against a pet potentially escaping or uninvited guests from neighboring yards.
“It's wonderful to hear that Rufus had such a great time with Silvia, playing with Milo, and making new friends. Having someone care for your pet and provide updates can bring peace of mind while you're away. ?? Silvia was definitely amazing with Rufus!!! A must dog sitter your pet will be loved and very safe. Thank you again for Rufus’s great time, he literally didn't move last night and snoring was included ?, that's how much of a fab time he had. You will be seeing us again!! ❤️”
About: Your dog will be apart of our loving family with lots of cuddles, playtime, walks & treats (if aloud by owner) When we look after your beloved dog we will ensure their needs are put first. Unfortunately, we lost our bulldog Bonnie recently and this has given us the passion and desire to look after other peoples dogs. We always found this difficult and a challenge knowing who to trust with Bonnie and my goal is to help others feel at ease. We as a family have experience being around a variety of breeds including young & old dogs. I currently work full-time in the community, however I work from home majority of the working week. Also, if I am not home my mum is at home as she only works part-time. At the weekends everybody in the house is home. Your dog will not be on their own longer than a couple of hours at a time. I have a private secure back garden where dogs will have access to safely and securely. I will care for your dog as if they were my own. I am honest, trustworthy and have a genuine love & care for animals especially dogs!
“Amazing cat sitters !!! 10000% going back !! They were so reliable and so so thoughtful by sending me pictures and updates of my cat and made her feel so safe and loved (think she’s found her second parts). I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with such an amazing couple !!”
“Jordan is amazing! I couldn't find a better person to take care of Ringo! Jordan is very professional, she knows how to take care of big dogs. She also offered Ringo, while I was abroad, a home! Ringo loved Jordan and he also had the company of her own dog, Fudge. Fudge and Ringo became best friends and both enjoyed playing and habving long walks in the park. Usually Ringo suffers alot when I am going abroad, but this time, with Jordan, he settled very quick. I cannot thank enough to Jordan and her mom! Definitely, I'll ask again for Jordan's services in the near future!”
“Used Rachel again after she had Patch for the day and he had a great time. Rachel and her partner provide such great care for dogs in their care, they treat Patch like their own and they even took him for his swimming lesson. Rachel is such an enthusiastic person about dogs and couldn’t ask for a better service.”
About: I have 20 years + experience of caring for dogs, I am DBS checked and first aid trained ( human). Now I have more time on my hands I would love to care for your pooch. I enjoy taking long walks with my own little fella and love being outdoors. I have experience with puppies, nervous and excitable dogs. I enjoy the socialisation puppy and dog ownership brings and love nothing more than engaging with our dog walking community. I offer short walks, long walks, cuddles, play, interaction with your precious and loyal companions. Whatever the weather you will find me walking my own fur baby, teaching him to talk and having fun. I would love to walk more pooches and give them the attention and love they deserve.
About: Hello, We are a family of five, with a 14-year-old and 5-year-old twins. Dogs have always been a big part of our family. I (Louis) grew up with our family dog, Bruno, and both my mum and sister have dogs of their own, Ed and Stan, who we spend lots of time with. My partner, Ellie, also grew up with several dogs, including Stanley, Macca and Lola, and her family currently has Rufus the Dachshund. We're absolutely ready to give all our love and care to a dog of our own. However, as Ellie and I are currently in the early stages of launching our own businesses, we've decided that caring for other people's dogs is the best fit for us right now. It allows us to enjoy spending time with dogs while making sure we can give them the attention and care they deserve. We'd love the opportunity to look after your dog and look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Louis, Ellie, Theo, Marcie & Daphne Pet care fits naturally into our routine. Ellie and I both work flexibly while building our own businesses, so we're able to plan our days around a dog's needs. Daily walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention would all be part of our schedule. As a family, we also enjoy spending time outdoors, so any dog staying with us would get lots of exercise, company, and affection throughout the day. We treat every dog as if they were our own. We'll always follow the owner's routine for feeding, walks, medication (if needed), and any house rules to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether in our home or yours, we'll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and exercise, while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you know they're happy and well cared for. Our garden has fences on 2 sides and a bush on the other. Dogs are able to get through with some persistence but we just put dogs on a lead when sniffing around or going to the toilet. No incidents to date.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Sherwood is £30

Monika took Benji very last minute for a week, he’s dog reactive but this didn’t phase her at all! She and her children looked after him as if he were their own dog, we got plenty of updates/ pictures and they really went out of their way to make sure Benji was happy! I couldn’t recommend her enough and I won’t hesitate to use her again :)
Rachel had just looked after a Labrador Paul for us… he had the best time there. We had lots of updates and photos and we can see he was loved and cared for exactly as he is at home. I don’t think he wanted to leave. Thank you so much and you will definitely be our first choice in the future.
Odeta was an excellent sitter. I’m very grateful for the way she and her partner looked after Remi. From all the photos and updates, he looked happy, well cared for, and it was clear that he had settled in very well with them. Odeta kept me updated with every detail. Since it was the first time we had left Remi with someone else, it meant a lot to know he was in good hands, and she made sure we knew he was doing well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take good care of their puppy.
This was our first time leaving Daisy with a dog sitter and we’re pleased we picked Jordan. We thought Daisy might get stressed, but Jordan clearly put her at ease and Daisy trotted off with her for a walk without even looking back! Jordan is very responsive when making arrangements and kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. We’ll definitely leave Daisy with Jordan again.
We’ve used Rhiannon a few times now and our beagle absolutely loves going there! They make him feel at home and always provide updates. He literally cries when we get to the door he’s so excited to go. It’s great having peace of mind knowing he’s happy and being looked after so well while we are away. Couldn’t recommend more. Thanks again both of you - Franklin seriously loves you!
Emma was fantastic with Toby. Communication was swift, she helped us out last minute and was absolutely fabulous with Toby, and nothing was too much trouble. Emma will fit around your dogs routine, which was great! He was so settled when I went to collect him and Emma was in contact sending updates and pics during Tobys stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Toby with Emma again, he loved his holiday! Thank you so much!!!
Jennifer deserves all the stars! She took exceptional care and considered all of Willows needs. She asked lots of questions to ensure Willow had the best stay! I had regular photos and video updates while I was away which was very reassuring. Jennifer is a kind considerate person and this showed through her care of Willow. No hesitation in rebooking. A home from home. Thank you Jennifer!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sherwood on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 1,095 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sherwood. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 East 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.
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 .
