“Sonia is a Fantastic dog carer, regularly filming and reporting lots of secure space outside the house. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Sonia again, highly recommended! Excellent service! A huge thanks to Sonia and their family”
“Leo has a great time with Chiara and her family. He became part of their family, was well loved and cared for by Chiara and her kids. We left our little Cocker Spaniel pup Leo with her for almost five weeks when he himself was just three months and he just became their family. So happy to have chosen Chiara and will surely recommend her services to anyone.”
“Leonie is reliable, punctual, empathetic, kind, intuitive and incredibly knowledgeable in all things dog! This was our dog’s first outing with Leonie and she came back clearly loving her! We’re looking forward to booking Leonie again for her kind care.”
“We’re so happy with the care Charlie received! This is the 8th time they’ve looked after him, and once again everything was fantastic. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Charlie came home happy and relaxed, and it’s clear he was well cared for and loved. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Vamsi & Nitya again and again — highly recommend!”
“Our dog, Bailey, is generally nervous with new surroundings and strangers, but he easily warmed up to Jenny which says a lot about her character. We met her in person a month before we left just so Bailey will get acquainted with his new home for 2 weeks, and for us to have a proper chat about his boarding. I reckon Jenny’s calm demeanour has drawn Bailey in which is VERY RARE, and we couldn’t be any happier! We had good communication with Jenny – her responding right away to our follow ups and sending us photos of Bailey. Thank you very much for taking good care of our sweet boy!”
“Lovely couple. 🌟🌟🌟 Cannot recommend Lydia & James enough. We left our Springer with them for the first time for 4 days and they took such good care of our fur baby! She had the best time. Was taken on lovely daily walks, and doing her favourite thing chasing 🎾. They kept us updated with daily photos and messages which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely use them again 🐶💕 Thank you!! xx”
“We’re so grateful to Amy and Connor for looking after Bodhi so often. He always comes home happy and tired – a clear sign of lots of playtime! He absolutely loves going to see them, which is obvious from the enthusiastic greeting he gives. And no, I’m not offended at all, lol. Honestly, it means so much to us to know that Bodhi is in such capable, caring hands, where he’s happy, comfortable, and well looked after. That means everything to us. Thank you!”
“Jesse was brilliant with my Mindy. I received photos and updates on her every day. My dog was so happy to board at her place. I will definitely use Jesse's services again in the future.”
“Roxy had a great time, Roberta sent me lots of photos and updates and I know she was so well looked after. You can see that Roberta loves dogs and I felt so confident leaving her there. Roxy will definitely be back thank you”
“Lily was sensitive to our anxious dog’s needs and we were very happy that Tess had a good day and was really well cared for by Lily, going for several walks and enjoying a quiet environment. Thank you Lily!”
“Boden felt right at home with Izabela and her family. She was gentle and caring, introduced him to other dogs slowly, and even let him sleep in the bed. Great communication too. We would definitely use her again!”
“Sophie and Joe took such good care with Lando, we couldn't have wished for better! They really did treat him as if he was their own and we had such peace of mind leaving him with them whilst we were away. Couldn't recommend more and we will definitely be bringing Lando back - thank you again so much! <3”
“Jago loved staying with Alissa’s family and settled in straight away. We had plenty of updates and we was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Thank you ! We will definitely book again.”
“Martina and her family was great with my very energetic boy Hank, he had a lovely time staying with them and would 100% be using them again anytime we go away and need someone to have Hank”
“This was Dusty's second stay with Veena and it was so wonderful to go on holiday with the peace of mind that she was in such good hands. From the moment I dropped her off she was excited to be back there and it was so reassuring that Veena remembered all her quirks and needs so well. From all the videos and photos it was evident she was having a great time and was relaxed and being so loved and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Veena to anyone! I'm sure Dusty is already looking forward to going back again sometime! Veena also gave her special birthday treats too, lovely personal touch. Thank you!!!!”
“Charlotte took great care of Cosmo overnight for us. We received plenty of relevant information beforehand including helpful advice. He seemed right at home from the get go and he looks forward to a longer stay soon whilst we’re on holiday.”
“Nicola responded quickly to my last minute plea for a day sitting on the same day, and kept me updated of the activities during the day as well as drop off time. I would gladly recommend her as a responsible and happy poppy sitter!”

We left our very traumatized Rescue dog with Sonia - and she was wonderful with her! Sonia treated her with such sensitivity and empathy, that our dog settled in immediately. Sonia was also so good at keeping her nervous mommy informed with updates, photos and videos! We will definitely use her again!!! 😘
Kelli was absolutely wonderful looking after our cavapoo! She is such a lovely, caring person, and it was clear from the start that our dog was in the best possible hands. She kept us updated every single day with photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. Our cavapoo had the best time and clearly adored being there – tail wagging in every picture! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with Kelli again. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - South Bucks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Bucks on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 South East 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 .
