“Hannah & Teddy, Looked after our fur babies for 3 days. Everything ran smoothly. They care for them like their own loved pets. Infact, neither dog appeared to want to come home! Will be in touch again next time we need a dog sitter. thanks very much”
“I am a returning customer and now Charlotte is Beni's fairy Godmother 🥰🐾, helping me out when I need to be whole day out. Beni truly loves to stay with Charlotte, doesn't stress when I leave and I pick my puppy content and relaxed, with plenty of pictures to enjoy about their day. I cannot recommend Charlotte more for care of your beloved pet when you need.”
“Molly had a lovely Christmas break with Linda and Rob. They were very welcoming and Molly was comfortable straight away. Linda was very patient with me whilst I was making Christmas plans and her communication was great. If we lived closer would definitely use again!”
“Having a business function 5 hours from home and needing to find suitable care for our needy French Bulldog was potentially stressful. So glad we found Cathryn and her wonderfully calming approach. She (and her husband) were super accommodating, communicative, helpful, reassuring. Instantly connecting with Merlin when we dropped him off, and sending photos and messages throughout the evening to reassure. When we are in Staffs again and need repeat care, we will be 100% returning to Cathryn. Highly recommended!!”
“Venetia and Chris are fantastic. They made cody feel right at home and took exceptional care of him. They provided regular updates and pictures which helped put my mind at ease. I have no hesitation in recommending Ventia and Chris to look after anyones dog. Thanks guys.”
“Freddie had the perfect stay. It’s always worrying when using someone new but Samantha and her husband was so friendly and asked lots of questions about Freddie which was reassuring that they were making sure they knew things about Freddie to make his stay perfect. The updates were also very much appreciated. The resident dog, Eddie was perfect for Freddie and gave him space. Hopefully Freddie will become a regular visitor as will not hesitate to use Samatha again.”
“Jimmy had an amazing day with Jo and Dave. It was evident from the photos and when we picked him up that he had made himself at home. A lovely couple who we felt completely comfortable leaving Jimmy with.”
“Dina was a fantastic host for Betty our Border Terrier. She and Dina’s dog Daisy got on so well. Betty was obviously very happy in their home. Drop off and pick up were convenient and easy. We would definitely use Dina again”
“Molly and her family did a wonderful job looking after our Rocky, daily updates on how he’s doing with photos and videos were all received with pure joy. Will continue to use molly in the future for all of Rocky’s future staycations”
“Heather looked after our Vizsla while we were away and she was fantastic. Our dog was treated like one of the family and heather sent loads of pictures and updates. I would definitely book Heather again”

“Coco has been very well looked after by Calley and her family, she’s really enjoyed her stay with them. I love that I was updated every single day with a message and photos which really put me at ease. We’ve never left her with anyone before and I 100% recommend this sitter to anyone. A very loving family who love dogs and treat them as their own. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you so much 😊👍🏼🐶🐾 ⭐”
“Paula and John were just fantastic. Paula sent us updates which was very reassuring as we hadn’t left Rosie before. I felt so lucky to have found them. Rosie was treated like a princess and a real home from home. I can thoroughly recommend Paula and John. They gave Rosie so much care and attention as if she were their own. Rosie went to sleep in Johns arms whilst having tummy rubs !!”
“Maverick had a great time on his 2 week holiday with Tess! I know this from the regular pictures and videos of him either playing or cuddled up comfy on the sofa. I'm so pleased to have found Tess on Rover and will definitely let her look after Maverick again... I might even book him in for a day or two just so he can play with Tess' dogs who he made friends with and will miss!”
“Archie our cockerpoo was very happy staying with Lisa, Len & Lily. They took him on a nice woodland walk, he slept beside Lisa and seemed content in their home. They are lovely people and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
About: Hello! I'm Aryane🐾🐶 , I'm Brazilian, I live in the United Kingdom, and I've always loved animals. Since I was little, I've always felt naturally drawn to pets and have always enjoyed being around them. Caring for animals has never been "just a job" for me; it's something I truly love and feel privileged to do. I believe that every pet deserves to be treated with patience, affection, and respect. I dedicate time to getting to know each animal, understanding their personality, and ensuring they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you're away.I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you truly trust. That's why I care for each dog and cat as if they were my own, offering lots of affection, attention, and a calm and welcoming environment.My goal is simple: to provide complete peace of mind and ensure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for at every stage.🐶🐾 Currently, I dedicate myself 100% to caring for pets. It was the first job I've had since I arrived, and I always want to continue. I have a beautiful fenced garden at my house, I live in a village that has many parks for walking and playing with the children.
“Absolute lifesaver! I was let down at the last minute for my son's wedding and Laura saved the day. I received updated info and photos during the weekend which put our minds at rest. He was treated like a prince and loved his new found friend, (her dog). I am using her again in July knowing that he will be very, very well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate recommending her to anyone.”
“Hayley was great, very easy to communicate with and we would definitely be happy to leave Henry with her again. He was taken on plenty of walks and came home very tired. Thank you Hayley ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Derbyshire on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,654 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Derbyshire. 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 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.
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 .
