“Millie was fantastic with our dog. Our dog is very nervous and takes a long time to trust people. Millie was great in looking after our dog and getting her to trust her. By the next morning our dog didnt want to leave. Would 100% be happy to leave our dog with Millie again”
“Highly recommended dog sitters. Laurie had our whippet over the weekend and he loved his stay. He was very relaxed and happy when we collected him. We received updates and videos on his walks.”
“Veronika and her lovely family looked after Che as if she was their own well loved family pet. She had a very nice sleepover with lots of cuddles and walks. Veronika was very kind and sent pictures and updates. I especially liked the picture of Che making friends with a cat.”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, communication was great, and we got daily updates with pictures and videos of him playing with the other dogs — that put us at ease knowing he was enjoying himself. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Amanda was amazing! Completed a meet and greet with our two pups and made them feel right at home. Lots of walks and treats to keep them busy. She attended to the different dogs needs so well - one high energy gundog and another recent mixed rescue. Thank you so much!! 🐾 🤍”
“Bradley and pip were amazing with Callie! They truly spoiled her and treated her like one of their own, she went on lots of runs and outings. Lots of reassuring photos and videos were sent. Callie has had so much fun that she isn’t happy to be home and away from her new friends. We will definitely be using again!”
“Thank you so much for looking after Sydney again! Great photos and videos during his stay keeping us updated. It’s such a lovely location with so much space to roam around. We would love to book him in with Graham in the future, highly recommended host!”
“Alice was amazing! We had never left our dog before and she gave me all the reassurance I needed. We did a pre visit which was lovely and Alice kept us up to date with as much information as we wanted. He came back looking super shiny in his coat and was fully worn out from playing outside. We could not be happier with the care Alice gave.”
“The first time in years we have left out 10 year old very nervous dog with anybody other than family was was a little apprehensive how he would settle for 2 nights while we were at my sons wedding . Tom & family were absolutely fantastic with Paddy . Tom send us regular updates & photos to reassure us . When we went to collect Paddy he was really pleased to see us but didn’t go crazy with excitement like he usually does , in fact think he would have been happy to stay longer ? I would recommend Tom & his lovely family 100% .& are planning Paddy’s next stay Thank you Tom”
“Jakub and his family were amazing from start to finish. He kept me updated as to how Bella was getting on and sent photos of her (having a lot of fun!) She has returned to us happy and well cared for. We used to put her in kennels when we went away, but having met Jakub and his family and seen how well that looked after our pup, we will only use Jakub in the future.”
“From the pictures Cordelia sent me throughout his stay he clearly enjoyed his stay. He had lovely walks and well looked after. He is now having a little rest on this sofa as he is tired. Thank you very much. I have no reservations in recommending her to other dog owners.”
“As always, Harvey was super excited when he arrived to stay and really not that interested in coming home again 🤣 thank you for all the great videos of him playing with his sqeaky tomato and rolling in the long grass on walks, he looks so happy and relaxed - l feel quite guilty insisting he comes back home with me! Until the next time, thank you so much for taking such great care of my boy!”
“Simon had our 2 dogs for a weekend and it was like a home from home for them! Both dogs were walked, fed and loved just like they would have been at home! We received lots of photos and updates of 2 very happy dogs!! Would definitely use Simon again, amazing pet sitter.”
“Would highly recommend Laura. She clearly absolutely loves dogs and was lovely with our very energetic pup! Laura took Zelda on some wonderful walks in the fields, and sent us some very cute photos to keep us updated. We felt like Zelda was in really safe hands and was clearly very happy while we had a night away. Thank you, Laura!”
“Kay and her family looked after our dog overnight and he had the best time! A very lovely family with a super friendly dog, Hera, who really cared for Arnie. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thank you 🤩”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Kesteven on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of August 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 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.
