About: What sets me apart is my flexibility and genuine love for animals. I work from home, so I can provide care throughout the day, including for pets that need extra attention or companionship. I'm also able to drive, making it easy for me to travel to your home. I've cared for pets with separation anxiety, high-energy dogs that need long walks, and pets that require more frequent care and supervision. I'll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Working from home allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs multiple walks, regular playtime, companionship, or extra supervision, I can easily adapt to their routine. I understand that some pets experience separation anxiety, so I'm happy to spend extra time with them to help them feel calm, safe, and comfortable while you're away. Every pet receives plenty of love, patience, and individual attention. While I'm unable to host pets in my own home because I have a cat, I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your pet in their usual routine. I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love while you're away.
“I have an elderly dog with multiple health issues and a complex medication regime. For this reason she cannot be left alone for long and I was very anxious about leaving her. I need not have worried. She had a fantastic week with Erin and Andrea. After her first trial visit, as soon as she saw there street, she was pulling to get to their door - very excited. Erin and Andrea made additional notes to mine and coped with the routine without a hitch. They contacted me during the trial nights to ensure they had fully understood, and for clarification on something I had overlooked. It was lovely to receive their updates and be able to see that my dog was loving doing her usual things. And I was able to relax knowing my dog was in capable and caring hands. I cannot recommend this couple more highly.”
“Suey is a wonderful dog sitter. I received regular updates and photos during my dogs stay with her and her partner, which made me feel reassured knowing my dog was safe and well looked after. Thanks Suey!”
“Mariana did a wonderful job looking after my dog Cosmo when he stayed with her. She sent me lots of photos and I could see how well her and her family were looking after him. I could tell she cared about Cosmo and she even bathed him (after checking with us first) so he was super clean when we collected him. I would definitely send Cosmo to Mariana again in the future.”
“Kinga looked boarded our energetic spaniel for multiple days, and her greyhound proved to be a great companion and play partner. We received multiple photos and videos a day updating us on his adventures. Our dog clearly had a great time and was sad to leave!”
“Tahiana was amazing with our puppy! She is a kind lady and she definitely played a lot with my dog as it takes a lot to wear her out and she was tired when we collected her 😄 We will definitely be using her again. Would definitely recommend for future dog sits!”
“Absolutely everything you would wish for from someone looking after your dog. Thank you, Julia! Kind and reliable, understanding about Gus’s quirks, plus easy to arrange the plan with. Hopefully see again you soon :)”
“We needed Cooper looking after for my works Christmas do. Having only recently got Cooper it was our first time leaving him. Marcus and Cheryl made us feel instantly relaxed and welcomed Cooper straight into their home on the meet and greet. They put our minds at rest and were extremely flexible for us, making sure we had a good night and Cooper was looked after. We got regular photos and couldn't have asked for more. Really impressed and also very much appreciate it. Very highly recommend and only have good things to say!!”
“Arthur had the time of his life staying with Teresa. He is often nervous around new people but Teresa was really good with him and he came out of his shell almost immediately. I was sent regular updates and pictures. I will definitely recommend her, and will use her again when needed.”
“Caroline and her partner were absolutely lovely and took such great care of Cooper! 🥰 He was clearly very happy and comfortable with them, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I’d happily leave Cooper with them again and would definitely recommend Caroline to anyone looking for someone kind and trustworthy to look after their pup! 🐶”
“Larissa was absolutely amazing with Banjo. He is an old dog and she cared for him so well. He has stayed with Larissa before and was very happy to return. I would highly recommend Larissa as a dog sitter. Thank you.”
“Max was an absolutely amazing host for our nervous dog. Him and his partner took great care of Thor and made us feel so comfortable and happy leaving him there overnight. They were really accommodating and gave lots of updates of him having a great time.”
“We were away for 10 days,And one thing we were sure that Teddy will not miss us at all .Keerthi look after him very well and Teddy was so much relaxed and very happy with them. I was getting regular updates about Teddy by pictures.They trained him in 10 days for crate sleeping in night which I was struggling .Would definitely recommend Keerthi 😊”
About: I am a responsible, patient, and caring person who truly loves animals. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with different personalities and needs, including energetic pets, shy animals, and senior pets who need extra attention and comfort. What makes me different is the love and attention I give to every pet. I understand that pets are family members, so I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I can help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic care, and maintaining the pet’s routine. I am also attentive to details, organized, and reliable, which helps pets feel calm and secure in my care. Pet care fits very well into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time to walks, visits, and overnight stays when needed. On a daily basis, I am available in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings depending on prior arrangements. I make sure to plan my day so I can fully focus on each pet without rushing, giving them the attention and care they need. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep the environment clean and secure, and make sure pets feel calm and comfortable at all times. I supervise them carefully, provide fresh water, food, walks, and attention, and treat every pet as if they were my own.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - South Cambridgeshire
Ellie had the most fab time with Lauren and her dogs and children while we were at a festival. Lauren kept us up to date throughout with videos and pictures, which was much appreciated. Lauren clearly has a good handle on dogs and we’d be very happy to leave Ellie in her capable hands again.
We had a great experience with James. He was really prompt and helpful with communication, and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay with regular photos, which was really reassuring. Our dog settled in really well and seemed very happy and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and would definitely use him again!
Ping (May) was so good with Robbie, going far and beyond anything to look after him for two nights while we were away. She sent regular updates too which was lovely. It is clear that she has a natural bond with dogs. Robbie was so calm and content when we collected him. Highly recommend.
We had a good experience leaving Momo here. He can be a bit cautious and is a picky eater, but she was very patient with him and took great care of his needs. It was wonderful to see him gain confidence and get along so well with her dog, Noura. Momo came home safe, happy, and well-rested. She clearly loves dogs and provides a safe, welcoming environment. We're happy to recommend her!
Shitong had Dexter while we were away and sent us daily updates to show how much fun he was having with her! He stayed with another dog and she is so lovely. She was so friendly and sweet to our boy. He was well looked after and had a fantastic time staying with her. We highly recommend Shitong and we will be using her services again in the near future!
Right from the meet and greet session, and throughout Willow's stay with Nova, she made us feel at ease, continuously reassuring her of Willow's wellbeing and status on food, walks, cuddles through messages and photos. She patiently took time to understand Willow's personality, preferences, medications and schedule. It was amazing to see Willow settle in so easily with Nova and her partner in just under a day. Highly recommend Nova to even nervous fur parents.

Kat did a wonderful job caring for our labradoodle, Otto! She is a dog lover and very knowledgeable about dog care and dog behavior. We met Kat twice before deciding on using her services. On the day of pickup , Otto greeted Kat like she was a long lost friend with multiple kisses! We were very reassured about leaving Otto with Kat after that greeting. Communication was excellent between us and Kat. Kat was flexible in addressing Otto's needs. She was very careful with Otto's daily routine during the recent hot spell in the UK. Otto returned to us happy ,and in wonderful shape . I am sure he will be excited to see Kat and her dog CJ again on his next visit. Thanks Kat!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Cambridgeshire on Rover is £41.4 per night (as of September 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 East of 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.
