“Highly recommend Manuela. It was our first time leaving our puppy since we’ve had her. We received regular updates, photos and videos and Luna had great fun! Thanks again!”
“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”
“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 🙏🥰”
About: I am a Volunteer foster carer for an animal shelter and have taken care of multiple dogs over the last couple years. My experiences mainly focus on small-mid sized dogs, such as Pomeranian, Bichon, Yorkshire terrier, Staffordshire, Doberman, etc. I have a cat myself so I fully understand dogs’ and cats’ everyday needs, I have the right mindset for understanding their behaviours and am equipped with basic training skills. I’m working part time so am reasonably flexible. I live in NG5 area, but I could travel further as I drive. I’m open to short notice booking too. My partner (who’s also a volunteer foster carer) is home most of the time, although I will be the main carer giver in terms of walking the dog or playing with them. The house has a fenced garden, a spare room for the dog if they prefer, and it’s ideal for dog that doesn’t cope with being alone very well. Except from our bed, doggies are welcome in all around the household.
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.
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.
“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 😊”
About: Since I’ve loved dogs all my life, I’ve read a lot about their behaviours in my spare time. We have one dog and look after other dogs including senior dogs of family, regularly. Both me and my partner Alex have had dogs since we were children. Experience with training dogs and puppies too. We have a large secure garden for roaming and sniffing. We love to go for morning and evening walks every day and there’s a great walking path close by, perfect for dog walks. On the weekends we tend to go to local parks for fresh air whatever the weather! If your dog needs a loving holiday home with a stable routine for a while, plus a very friendly happy well behaved dog and two children who adore dogs but give them space, then we would love to welcome your fur baby from your home to ours. Get in touch :) I work from home with opportunity to play, cuddle and look at your fur baby. I have dog called Jasper, who loves to have friends over so will keep your dog company. We love being at home and one of us is always around. A typical day would be a morning sniff and runaround the garden first thing, or walk and then breakfast. Around lunchtime is also treat time and a little play and fuss, 5pm we’re in the kitchen/garden, and it’s playtime before dinner for dogs as and when adjusted to their needs. Finishing the day with an after dinner walk and snuggles on the sofa. I have a large fenced garden to keep your dogs safe, with my dog loving company. I can happily crate your dog if needed. We have a few areas downstairs if dogs would like their own time/ sleep without being disturbed too.
About: I have many years of experience with dogs and have been president of my university’s dog society which was a pleasure to be able to walk and interact with local dogs and their wonderful owners! I have my own little doggo at my family home called woody too :) I now work in a vets myself too 😊 I am a dedicated animal carer so a I am very happy to either pop in multiply times a day, walk your furry friend or do overnight stays, whatever works best for you and your pet! :) I have lots of experience looking after my own pets and others so will make sure to be very vigilant and keep them very safe and happy whilst they are in my care! I’m happy to answer any questions and queries you may have.
About: Hi, I have had dogs as a child and now I have my 6 year old cavvie. Before I got him, I also used to look after the neighbour's dog while he was away. My boy is super friendly so can only accept other dogs that are frindly as I don't want him to be bullied. He is intact, however, he is very chilled and not territorial. All dogs can be considered if up to 15kg as long as friendly but I would avoid looking after girls that are not neutered for obvious reasosns. I work from home full time. I currently have a dog, so a typical day would look like this. Take the dogs out first thing in the morning. Then time for breakfast and relaxing till midday. Then time for lunch break walk and relaxing after. Then pre- bed quick outing for the dogs to do their business. While at home, I will also play with the dogs so they don't get bored. I have a velcro cavvie that is my baby and intend to treat your baby the same. I will ensure your dog is looked after to the same standart as mine (which is extremely high)
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.
“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”
About: I have years of experience looking after pets, I grew up around cats and dogs and even looked after a family friends tortoise when they went on holiday. Nowadays I have my own cat and dog who I love and take care of every aspect of their lives, from playtime, walkies, litter trays, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience working on a farm and assisting with looking after the farmyard animals and am attuned to their unique needs and feeding schedules. I am currently studying at university full time so I have plenty of free time to help with walks or check-ins. I keep my calendar up to date and on my days off and weekends I am flexible I take your guidelines very seriously and your pets safety is my priority. I will ensure that your dog is kept on the lead at all times and maintain good road safety. I make sure to keep them away from other dogs. I will ensure there are no escape routes from the garden when letting your cat/dog outside and that the house is secure so they cannot get into rooms they shouldn’t have access to. I keep your pets in my sight at all times and can provide updates for you.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
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 😊
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 £25.3 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,017 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Sherwood. About 85% 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 .
