“Manuela was amazing with Rocco, she sent me so many videos and pictures of him throughout the day. Rocco had the best time with her and she played with him all day gave him all the attention and cuddles he needed! Manuela was overall the best and would recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a dog sitter Rocco will definitely love to come back?”
“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 🙏🥰”
“Willow had a fantastic time at Olivia’s! Olivia had great communication before, during and after Willow’s stay. She was also really understanding around our timings which we really appreciated. Thank you so much!”
“Sam was amazing with Archie. Kept us updated throughout the day, took Archie for 2 walks (despite the rain!), sent photo updates, and was overall very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely use Sam again!”
“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 😊”
“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”
“As a first-time puppy owner, I was very anxious about leaving Frankie for the day since it was his first time away from home. However, Laura’s incredible experience, enthusiasm, and genuine love for puppies instantly put me at ease. Knowing he was in such caring hands made all the difference. I couldn’t recommend Laura highly enough—we’ll definitely be coming back!”
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 only take bookings the weekends when I am at home to ensure your pet will not be left alone for long periods and will receive consistent care throughout the day. I may be home some days during the week and I will update my calendar accordingly. 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 have always looked after dogs and other pets. My part time job when I’m in my home town is an assistant at a doggy day care. We have always had dogs and pets growing up and used to live on a farm. I’m very used to always being around lots of different dogs and absolutely love them. I’m a caring responsible hard worker. I am currently at university and attend 3 days a week maximum 4 hours. There is always someone in the house as we are a house hold of 5. Everyone in our family loves dogs. We have a large garden and are about a 5 minute walk from a huge dog park. I have a fenced garden and large space for the dog to run around. Our house is big and we do not mind the dogs on the furniture. I would make sure that your pet is cared for to the best of my ability
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.
“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.”
About: Me and my partner, Myles, are lifelong dog lovers and the designated dog sitters for all of our family and friends, now looking to open our home up to more dogs. After losing our senior rescue chihuahua last year, our house feels very empty without the pitter patter of paws following us around! We have many years of experience with a vast array of breeds and ages and I have also previously volunteered at a doggy daycare centre. We really do just love dogs of all sizes, shapes, temperaments and age and we would love to take care of yours! Please send me a message for more info about me or if you have any questions. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays and Myles works from home all week. We are free most evenings and weekends and available for long-term boarding We live in a semi detached house which your dog would have free roam of and a secure fenced off yard. We already have many dog beds and blankets for your dog to get comfy in, along with a few sofas and an armchair that they would be welcome to take a snooze on. Your dog will never be left alone in the house, we understand it may take time for some dogs to trust new people and we are experienced and knowledgeable on building up trust safely with new dogs. Your dog will never feel pressured by us, and in turn we hope this means you will trust us with your dogs too!
About: As a couple we love to have dogs in our lives and routines 🐶🐾 Bruno grew up with dogs being part of the family and, from a young age, was used to looking after them. I didn’t have the chance to have a dog of my own until a few years ago, mainly because my living arrangements were not ideal for pets. Over two years ago, when we bought our home, we started looking after dogs for friends and neighbours. We really enjoyed it and soon realised how much we wanted to have our own furry companion. So, six months in, we welcomed our little Faye into our family. Even then we continued looking after other dogs. It has been a lovely way for Faye to socialise, while also giving us the chance to meet more four-legged friends and their owners in our local community. We’ve looked after dogs with a wide range of personalities — from excited young pups who need plenty of attention, play, guidance and boundaries, to older dogs who prefer a quieter environment and a slower pace. We know that every dog is different, so we are committed to adapting to their usual routines and needs as much as we can. Most importantly, we want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, safe, cared for and part of the family. I work from home and Bruno is currently home all day too, so your dog will not be left alone. As we also have our own dog, feeding, walks, playtime and cuddles are already a integral part of our day. We would start by introducing your dog to our home environment and giving them some time to feel comfortable and settled in. We’ll always keep their safety and wellbeing in mind and make sure they feel secure in their new environment. We understand that trusting your dog to someone can be difficult and feel like a big decision, especially for the first time. So we want to make sure we provide a calm, caring and safe environment for all dogs staying with us. To give you some peace of mind, we are happy to send updates 📸 as frequently as you’d like. We can agree on this together when making the booking. We only take dogs from one household at a time, to ensure they get all the care and attention they need, while also reducing the risk of dogs not getting along with each other, becoming anxious around unfamiliar dogs or having interactions forced upon them. As we are always home, your dog will never be left alone and will have plenty of company and attention. Because we have our own dog, Faye, we take introductions seriously. Faye is very friendly with all the dogs she comes into contact with, but we never expect two dogs to become best friends immediately. We allow them to meet calmly, give them time to get used to each other and always pay attention to their body language and comfort levels. We are also able to keep your dog and Faye separated within the house if they need some quiet or alone time. Our Home & Environment 🏠🌳 Our main living space is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area leading to a fully enclosed garden. Providing it’s not raining or extremely cold, we tend to keep the door to the garden open so dogs can access the garden whenever they like. We also have at least three different parks within walking distance of the house, and a couple of others within a 5–10 minute drive.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved caring for them. I have a dog of my own who lives with my parents, and I’ve been taking care of him since I was growing up, so I’m very comfortable with the responsibilities that come with looking after a dog. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow their usual schedule and give them plenty of attention, care, and affection. I’m also comfortable staying in someone’s home and making sure both their dog and home are well looked after while they’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. 🐶❤️ As a university student, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. My days can vary, but I’m able to work my routine around a dog’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company throughout the day. I really enjoy having dogs around, and I’m happy to give them plenty of attention and make sure they get the exercise, care, and companionship they’re used to. My flexible university schedule also means I can be available during the day and adapt to different routines and requirements. 🐶🐾 I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while they’re in my care. I take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, and any specific needs before looking after them. I’m responsible and respectful of both the pet and their home. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on pets when they’re outside, and follow their feeding, walking, and medication routines if needed. I also keep their environment clean and tidy. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always do my best to give them the same care and love I would want for my own dog. 🐶❤️

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Sherwood
It has been such a pleasure leaving our puppy with Zoe knowing she is going to be very well looked after whilst she is away from home. Zoe has taken a lot of interest in the puppy making sure to provide the same feeding schedule and routine wherever possible. Nala has received plenty of cuddles, walks, play and attention and we couldn't thank Zoe and her family enough for taking good care of her. Receiving regular updates and photos has also put our mind at rest knowing Nala is in good hands whilst she is away. The booking process was a breeze and we would definitely be booking with Zoe again when the opportunity strikes in the future. A very trustworthy dog sitter and I would highly recommend!
Brilliant meet and greet and day care provided by Odeta and Daryl. Everything was thought about. Nervous dog well cared for and work to the dog’s rhythm. Positive and calming energy for the dogs. Plenty of exercise, good opportunities for rest, sniffing, interaction and play. Fab updates provided throughout stay and genuinely cared about Barney and settled him well. Definitely 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sherwood on Rover is £24.15 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,062 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 .
