“Shaun and Jackie were very accommodating for my dog Olives 1st visit. Olive was made to feel at ease and appears to have settled in as part of their family. We felt confident and were provided with updates over her visit. Olive will return to Shaun and Jackie’s on a regular basis and we are confident she is well looked after and safe. If people are looking for a great dog sitter, we would highly recommend Shaun and Jackie.”
“I can't thank Chloe enough for taking good care of my cat. Chloe was very easy to communicate with, we had to change times and dates due to me moving house too and she really helped and was very flexible. I was constantly updated on how my cat was settling and really nice pictures. Made me happy and I could just relax knowing she was being well care for. Will 100% book again!!”
“Absolutely amazing car for my parent’s dog, Winnie. My parents are so comfortable leaving her in their care - they get regular updates and reassurances. Winnie loves her time away. Thank you so much!!”
“My husky puppy was instantly at ease with Molly. She is a caring, professional, punctual and trustworthy pet sitter. My usually nervous husky was instantly at ease. Highly recommend.”
“we were very pleased to find Laurie to look after our dog (Toby), first time weve left him with anyone outside of family so we were a bit nervous about it. Laurie was great from the offset, very understanding and attentive to Toby's needs/requirements regarding walks, eating and habits etc. i would definitely recommend Laurie's services and will book with her again when needed, thanks again Laurie”
“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!”
“Bradley is a fantastic dog sitter. When contacting Bradley he was very quick to respond to the boarding request. I wanted to meet before my dog went to stay and Bradley was very accommodating with this. Unfortunately due to illness I had to cancel and rearrange without any problems and Bradley was very flexible to fit in with me. Meeting Bradley and the lovely Lincoln reassured me that I had chosen a great dog sitter. When Maple was staying with Bradley, he communicated regularly and I loved it that Maple was taken out for one of the days and had so much fun. The videos and photos were lovely and I could see that Maple was settled and clearly had made a new friend being Lincoln. Bradley loves dogs and Maple had such fun she was exhausted when we picked her up. Bradley looked after Maple like she was at her own home. I will definitely book in with Bradley again and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to others.”
“Amanda was absolutely lovely. Quick to respond when I initially started looking for a sitter. Lots of questions about my dog prior to dropping him off to ensure he was going to have a great time. Kept up to date on how he was over the weekend he stayed with Amanda and he appears to have a great time with her. Wouldn't hesitate to ask her to look after him again.”

“Abbie took our Pomeranian Coco into her home and treated her as one of the family. Abbie kept me updated sending photos and videos putting our mind at ease and Coco had a ball of a time. We will definitely book Abbie again when we go on holiday.”

Laura took Zelda on some wonderful walks in the fields, and sent us some very cute photos to keep us updated.

I have a fully secure garden with a 6ft fence, providing a safe outdoor space for play and exercise. I also have two friendly dogs at home who are well-socialised.

I aim to provide a calm, caring environment where your pet can feel at home while you’re away 🐾

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.
