“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”
“Had my dog short notice after being let down by another sitter, my dog had such a lovely time and was so happy with this lady. She has amazing space for the dogs and will definitely use again. My dog was very looked after. Thank you so much.”
“Thanks Mohitha for looking after our cockapoo Cece when we were away on holidays for a few days recently. Mohitha and her wonderful family did a fantastic job in their lovely home. It was clear Cece enjoyed her time as we got pictures and videos every day which was great to ensure us that she was being well looked after. I’d highly recommend Mohitha if you need a pet sitter. Five stars from me.”
“Our two dogs went to stay with Christine and she was just wonderful. She respected requests as a first time stay and dud everything to help keep them cool during a heatwave! We received lots of updates and photos and Lulu and Albie came home very happy!”

I am now based in the UK and continue to offer reliable, loving, and attentive care, making sure every pet deles safe . Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available throughout the day to provide walks, feeding, playtime, and supervision.

I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and respect, as if they were my own.
“Shivani was such a great sitter ! Coco loved his time with Shivani and Kai and came back knackered the next day from all that playing. Shivani sent me constant updates and pics of Coco having fun. Thank you !!”
“Laura was great with my Lab girl Drama. She sent lots of pictures and videos and Drama is always happy and relaxed around her family and dogs. You can tell they enjoy having her around and she taking walks together. Looking forward to board Drama with Laura again.”
“Pandora was amazing with Archie. He seemed to feel very much at home with her and I she made me feel very comfortable with leaving him. Will definitely be coming back.”
“Vamsi & Nitya were fantastic with Enzo, they sent daily photos/videos to keep us updated, and followed our routine as requested. Enzo clearly enjoyed staying there, and we would not hesitate to use them again.”
“Roberta was so wonderful! We have a very shy dog, so it was great to be able to trust that she’d be in good hands. It was also lovely getting photos of her throughout the day. We will definitely be using Roberta again!!”
“Amy and Conor were great and Alfie clearly felt at home with them. They kept me updated on his activities and were very approachable - they were great when I had to make a last minute change on account of the Tube strike- such a relief!”
About: I have reared puppies and looked after pets all my life. Animals are my passion and bring me much joy. I have vast experience looking after other people’s pets having worked in my friend’s dog sitting franchise for many years. I've also done countless dog/cat sits with another site and have glowing testimonials which I am happy to share. Now that I'm semi retired and can work from home I can spend even more time caring for your pets. I'm extremely fit and love nothing more than going for long dog walks in parks and the countryside. I'm happy to dog sit in your house or can have small dogs at my place. I live in a maisonette with a huge park 3 seconds from my front door. I've had 2 dogs while living here and pride myself on making sure they were always kept stimulated and had at least 2 walks per day. I'm a very responsible, dependable and trustworthy person who you can rely on to look after your pets and home. I am semi retired and work for myself via my laptop. My hours are totally flexible allowing me plenty of time for pet care. I am happy to look after pets in your own home while your away or have them in my own home. I am very much a home body so your pets won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I live opposite a very large park and am also close to some beautiful countryside. Walking is one of my hobbies so your dogs will get plenty of exercise to keep them stimulated. I am in the process of doing a dog behavioural course to better understand how our furry babies operate. I’m used to looking after all sorts of dogs and cats - both large and small.
“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!!!!”
“Chiara looked after our Persian 4 year old very well. We were kept informed about her regularly with photos and videos throughout the 10 days we were away. We will most certainly be leaving our cat with Chiara without any hesitation. Highly recommended.”
“Excellent care given by Nicola. Our dog, Monty seemed happy and relaxed when we left him and when we collected him. Felt confident leaving Monty in Nicola’s safe hands and she was great at communicating with us, including photos, videos and updates (all much appreciated!).”

Sonia looked after my little anxious dog Oscar for a long weekend whilst I was away. He appears to have had a great time, ate well and enjoyed the company of Sonia's dog. She provided photos and an update whilst I was away. Oscar came home content and exhausted. All the dogs are treated as if they were Sonia's own and I will certainly book with Sonia again.
Leonie was the perfect sitter for our little dog Enzo. We normally have a family member look after him when we go away, but we were going to a wedding so had to find a sitter for the first time. We are so happy we found Leonie! She had just Enzo and no other dogs, which we needed as he’s is nervous around some dogs. He was able to sleep on the sofa, was taken for loads of lovely walks, and we got lots of updates which we really loved. Leonie also took the time to meet Enzo before his stay, which we really appreciated and was really reassuring for us. Thank you so much ♥️
I was so happy to meet Amy. She was incredibly kind, welcoming and really took the time to understand Raffie’s needs. As a dog mum to a beautiful Staffy who doesn’t always socialise well with other dogs (naughty boy! 😂), that meant a lot to me. She completely understood my concerns, reassured me, and made me feel confident that he would be well looked after. She also followed up on my request, which I really needed as I was being so hectic at the time, and that extra effort meant a lot. The grounds are beautiful, and it really has that home-away-from-home feel. When I collected him, he did have a slightly sore bottom. We talked it through, and Amy genuinely cared about it and was happy to keep an eye on it if it happened again. That gave me even more reassurance because things can happen with dogs, but what matters is knowing they’re in caring and trustworthy hands. I really do feel Raffie enjoys his time there, and I’ll definitely be using Amy again. Thank you for looking after my little one so well!
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 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 July 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 July 2026, there are 15,615 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Bucks. 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 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 .
