“Manuela kindly looked after our puppy for the day while we were attending my son's university graduation. Both we and the dog were really happy, and I can't recommend her too highly. I will absolutely ask her to dogsit again if the opportunity arises.”
“Here’s a warm, polished review you could post: We needed someone to look after Rupert due to a change in our work commitments, and we’re so glad we found Olivia. Olivia was absolutely fantastic with Rupert. It was clear from all the photos and videos that he had an amazing time and really enjoyed spending time with both Olivia and Jasper too! Seeing how happy he was throughout the day gave us complete peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and Olivia kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos. They really made me smile during my workday and reassured me that Rupert was having the best time. Thank you so much, Olivia, for taking such great care of Rupert. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”
“Toby loved his first stay and can’t wait to have more, two walks, cuddles and treats. Jordan and her parents are brilliant and Toby was so well looked after. Pictures and updates were fab x”
About: I have a gap in fostering dogs right now and would love to offer help with your furry friends so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I have my own business and work from home so am pretty flexible to whatever your pets requires to feel at ease. I’m often around and can pick up last minute requests. I’ve joined rover as a sitter because I usually foster dogs and have struggled to find reliable, local sitters and so understand the importance of what is needed when you leave your loved one with a sitter while you are away. Whether it be while you’re at work or on holiday, rest assured your baby will be loved and cared for. I have a small but enclosed garden with 6 foot fencing which is perfect for a run around. I offer a tailored service so we can talk about what best suits your dog when we meet.
“Enola had a fabulous time with Rachel. She was really great at communicating before and during the visit and gave a really detailed update in the report card which I thought was so nice! I’ll definitely be using Rachel again and would really recommend her too 😊”
“Its so wonderful having a warm loving home for my darling Lulu to go to when I'm away with work. Odeta is so good with her; Lulu's always so happy to see Odeta when she arrives. Pictures and videos throughout the day assure me Lulu's walked, cuddled, fed, and gets lots of attention and play time. Odetas home will be for sure, a place for Lulu for a long time to come 🙏🥰”
“First stay with Jamie and hopefully will not be the last. My dog was very well cared for and he was content on picking up. Jamie and his partner were considerate and made sure they understood his behaviours. I would happily leave my dog in their care again.”
About: Having had our dog, Koda, since last August, we have experience looking after a highly energetic little dog. As one of us is always working from home, we are able to provide ample care both inside and outside. We are able to provide pet care at any time providing there is enough notice for our dogs to meet first. One of us will always be at home so your dog will never be unaccompanied. We have an enclosed garden that is a nice size for a small run around. We also live a few minutes walk away from a number of parks that are very dog friendly.
“Laura was absolutely fantastic. Treated Nala to a lovely day of walks and an all round pleasant day, keeping me informed throughout. Would 100% recommend Laura to anyone in the Nottingham area if they need someone to look after their dog. Thanks Laura!”
About: I owned two dogs when I was in Italy. I was responsible for caring for my dog since I was 13. My dog lived 15 years and the second is now 12 but he is in Italy with my sister. We went for walks in the forest and loved going to the park to play with other dogs. I have experience in walking different sizes of dogs. I also have 8 years experience in looking after guinea pigs. I have 2 cats that can be separated from pets boarding in a different room I am currently off work until the middle of July, so I will be at home most of the day. This means I can provide regular walks, plenty of playtime, toilet breaks, feeding, medication if needed, and lots of attention and companionship. Your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. Lots of cuddles and stimulation. Always supervised and have a pet camera. I make sure to follow the pets routine and keep owner up to date with messages and pictures
About: I am a very friendly and athletic female. Enjoy long walks and even jogs with dogs, very careful and responsible. Absolutely convinced that a dog is a pupil's best friend. Am very motivated to create a bond with every dog I meet Used to walk two border-terriers for about 3 miles around the golf course which is an amazing path for the dogs. Would love to take care of your dogs and have a nice playful time with them! Working from home Monday to Friday, have plenty of time to go on a walk during the day. I have a pretty laid back schedule I have a big garden for a dog to enjoy, big gate and fencing, I live at Mapperley park with a lot of parks and greenery outside
About: Since being a little girl, I have found so much peace being among animals. I have owned nearly every furry under the sun (dogs, cats, rabbits, guineas, mice, hamsters and more!) and love the unique personality each animal has. I have a soft spot for rescues, most of my pets have been strays and love being able to show them that the world can be a good place with the right people in it! A few years of my working life was spent in a kennels and cattery, and have recently been running a Nature School for children, where we explore and care for wildlife, animals and the world around us. It has been great to pass on my love for the animal world, to the next generation. All ages and stages of life are welcome, from pups and kittens, right through to the OAPs - and the care I offer is tailored to each animal as an individual. I will ensure I follow your instructions and care plan to ensure everyone is as happy as they can be. I've spent my entire life working with animals and children - and yes maybe you do need to be a little crazy to do that! But I do thoroughly enjoy the chaos and pure love they bring everyday. I'd be honoured to care for your beloved pets, and give you peace of mind for when you can't be there. From July, I will be working from home, so can offer the flexibility you desire. I have my children's school run twice a day, so have ample time between 9am and 3.30pm to accommodate your furry friends. I will also be available most evenings for later visits and walks if required. Weekends I can also be flexible. My large car can fit any size dog in, so can drive to green spaces for walks if desired! I have a large tiered garden, consisting of artificial turf, a bark area and decking. The house is a detached 3 bed, with 2 downstairs sitting areas, so your pets have plenty to of space to choose where they feel most comfortable.During warm weather, dogs can access an outdoor animal friendly paddling pool, and our outside space has plenty of trees to provide natural shade and a cooler temperature.
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!
About: Hi, we’re Leah (you can call me Leah – my legal name is Youngkyung) and Cameron, a cat loving couple based in Nottingham! 🐱💕 Cameron grew up with his beloved cat, Tiger, who was by his side for 22 wonderful years. Tiger taught Cameron the true meaning of love and care, and I (Leah) joined his life 5 years ago, having the privilege of caring for her as well. Even in the short time I spent with Tiger, I learned how special the bond between a person and their pet can be. As Tiger became a senior, we developed our skills in caring for older cats, learning to provide specialized attention to their unique needs. This includes administering medications, understanding dietary requirements, and ensuring they have a comfortable and safe environment. I am currently dedicated to full-time Rover cat sitting, while Cameron works full-time in retail management. This arrangement allows me to promise full availability and a reliable backup plan, ensuring your precious kitty receives the personalized attention they deserve whenever needed. One of the greatest benefits of choosing us as your kitty’s sitters is our heartfelt commitment as a couple to provide flexible and loving care. We’ve both missed having a furry companion in our lives! We live in a cozy, cat-friendly flat, perfect for welcoming your kitty into a quiet and safe space. Our flat especially has a door separating the living room from the entrance to ensure a secure environment for your cat. We’re non-smokers, and our home is peaceful and warm. Ideal setting for your pet to feel relaxed and cared for! 🌿☀️ Let us be your kitty’s next best friends! We can’t wait to meet them and give them all the love and attention they deserve. With us, your kitty will always feel right at home! 💓💓 P.S. I can take the best pictures of your kitty while you’re away!
“My partner and I came down from Canterbury for the CrossFit European championships and were looking for someone to mind our dog Shadow. Rhiannon saved us as we thought we were going to have to leave him behind. Rhiannon was great with Shadow! He stayed with Rhiannon Saturday and Sunday day and was excited to be back on Sunday, which was lovely to see. Rhiannon lives with house mates and they all got on so well with Shadow. Can’t recommend enough, they were so accommodating to Shadow and sent me lots of updates and pictures. Shadow got lots of cuddles and walks during his stay and was tired both days we picked him up, which meant we could relax! Thanks again Rhiannon, Shadow had a blast!”
About: I love all animals and I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 20 years. I also look after family and friend's pets often. I work from home 5 days a week (mon-fri) and I can fit visiting/walking your pets easily. I am very flexible over the weekends and late afternoon/evenings. I will respect your home whilst I keep company to your pet. I will follow your instructions on how to get to your house and look after your pet.
“My dog was extremely happy and anxiety to have some play buddies for a couple of hours! He was well looked after and I’m extremely grateful especially when it was such short notice! Thankyou so much! Highly recommend”

Silvia took good care of our Bella when she stayed for the day. Bella enjoyed playing with Silvia’s dog Milo and she came home happy & tired. Would be happy to leave Bella with Silvia and her family again. Communication was excellent from Silvia and she would always reply quickly.
Emily was brilliant with Bathsheba. She was lovely and set me at ease. We did a meet and greet the week before and she asked all about what Bathsheba needs and what she enjoys. She is a bit restricted at present due to an injury and also can get over excited. Emily took this all into account and also let me know Bathsheba was doing ok during her stay. Emily and her partner are experienced with dogs and I was confident Bathsheba was safe and happy during her first stay. She would love to go back.
Bathsheba needed an environment where she would be the only dog due to an injury so can't go to her usual day care. Laura stepped in to help out. I am always so anxious about leaving Bathsheba (although she loves meeting people) but Laura instantly put me at ease and I was confident she would take the best care. Laura is obviously experienced with different dogs. She checked in with me about her care needs and was in touch with me after I'd dropped her off so I knew she was fine. The location was also very convenient for me as I had a meeting in town and Laura met me near where I parked up. She also suggested where I could park very close to her building. I wouldn't hesitate to book Laura again. Bathsheba was happy and relaxed enough to have a sleep, and I felt she was safe in Laura's care.
Eleanor looked after our energetic, but slightly nervous, spaniel so well that I think he had an even better holiday than we did! Her warm and calm manner meant that he felt immediately at home and he obviously enjoyed lots of great walks and cuddles. I would definitely use Eleanor again and recommend her for dog sitting, boarding or even just walking.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sherwood on Rover is £27.6 per day (as of July 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 1,032 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Sherwood. About 86% of Sherwood 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 Sherwood 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 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.
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 .
