“100% recommend, took great, professional care of our cat, Franca, during our holidays. Franca came back extremely relaxed and was visibly happy to be there. Regular communication and updates. Yanf is clearly animal lover with passion.”
“Melissa was absolutely wonderful looking after my little sausage. She arranged a meet and greet a few days beforehand, which I really appreciated as it helped my dog feel comfortable from the start. She kept me updated throughout with plenty of messages and videos, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was so reassuring to see how well my dog was being cared for. I could tell my dog was having the best time, It genuinely made such a difference to be able to relax, knowing she was in such good hands. I’m so happy to have found Melissa and will definitely be using her services again.”

He felt like at home in very cosy environment. Well recommend and will definitely leave Bruno with Nikki again.”

“Claudia was fantastic at looking after Yahoo. She took care to find out our dog’s routine, likes and dislikes. She took him on lots of walks and gave us updates and photos! She is very responsive to text messages and we completely trusted her with our dog. She is an excellent dog sitter and will definitely be rebooking with her!”
“Simba had such a great time staying with Nina and her family! I really appreciate how well Nina took care of him; even though Simba is still a 10-month-old puppy with a lot of energy, she handled him perfectly. He came home happy and completely relaxed. I highly recommend Nina to anyone looking for a loving and attentive dog sitter.”

About: My wife and I adore dogs (any animals really!) We help our family and friends regularly with dog sitting or walks. We have recently moved into our home which has a large, safe and secure garden. Our home has plenty of fields/parks nearby or quieter side streets to suit your dog’s needs and preferences whilst out on walks. We can provide your dog with love and affection all day as we both work from home so there is no need to leave your family pet alone. We would love to help where we can! My wife Lauren and I work solely from home so we are always around. We are in our early 30’s so have plenty of energy to give your pet. Our home is safe and secure with a big garden. We are both active so walks will be no problem, whatever breed you have and the needs they require, we will ensure we meet them. We have a lot of love to give. We have a fully fenced garden with plenty of grass for them to run around. We have a spare bedroom to make your pet feel at home, or if they need to be kept in a crate overnight and would prefer being downstairs, that’s not a problem either as we have plenty of downstairs space. We can be adaptable to your pets needs.
“Tamara is wonderful!! Chestnut & Dinky we’re so happy with her whilst we were away. We received video and photos from Tamara almost daily. The dogs enjoyed the love they received from her and her partner, enjoying long walks and lots of cuddles. Will definitely be using Tamara again!!! Thank you Tamara ??”
“First time we’ve ever left Indi without friends or family so was naturally apprehensive, Petra and her family did an amazing job at putting us at ease and making Indi feel like part of the family for the weekend. Communication was regular with lots of photos and Petra was incredibly accommodating. Would absolutely book again.”
“Kara was an excellent sitter! Great communication, plenty updates, smooth drop off and pick up. Nova had definitely had a great time with her and was looking very happy when we collected her. Would recommend!”

Beth and Tom are a lovely couple who looked after my whippet. They were very caring, kept us updated with lots of photos and communication was great throughout. They handled everything really well and Lola was very happy when we picked her up. Would definitely recommend! 🐾❤️
Melissa has been absolutely amazing with my dog! This is already the second time she has looked after her, and my little one is always so happy to stay with her. Melissa treats her like a princess, is incredibly attentive, and always keeps me updated with lots of photos and messages. It’s so lovely to see how much of a great time my dog has with her and how well cared for she is. I 100% recommend Melissa and will definitely use her again whenever I can! ❤️
Simon was super with Odie. Asked all the right questions and clearly understands dogs and what they need. Simon, introduced Odie to his dog ahead of the stay which was perfect for both dogs to get to know each other. He kept us updated with photos and videos whilst we were away.
Kuanjira is a wonderful dog carer- she was really helpful - communication throughout Lunas stay and sent me lots of photos to reassure me as I hadn’t left Luna with someone she didn’t know- I will definitely ask her again to take care of Luna when I need - highly recommend
Lucy was great with helping me along with my first booking through ROVER app. Very attentive and we had a meet & greet a month earlier which meant I knew Millie would be in a lovely safe and friendly family environment. Millie had a great time with Lucy sending me pictures that showed a chilled out Millie & a busy Millie . Made me feel happy knowing she was enjoying her day. I will be ever so happy to leave Millie with Lucy and her family again. ⭐️🤩
Petra and family looked after our dogs for the third time. We have no hesitation leaving our dogs, they are treated as part of the family and love going there. Recieved lots of lovely photos, and our dogs are very happy after they visit. Defiantly be using again, and thank you again so much 🐕 😀
Such safe hands! If you are looking for someone who truly loves animals and will treat your dog as their own, look no further! Me and my family got such great vibes from Gina and her partner, and felt reassured straight away, Gina sent me pics and updates which my son especially loved! You can tell they love animals, and are really lovely people too 🥰 Lando will miss you and his new pal Rudy! Feel free to visit us anytime, and maybe I can get you a drink to say sorry for Lando’s accident!! Thank you guys xx

FAQs for Boarding - South Gloucestershire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Gloucestershire on Rover is £33.35 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 1,614 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Gloucestershire. 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 West 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 .
