“Eva is so good, she has been amaizing. I have left my girl with her for 2 weeks which is a shelter dog, I adopted her at the end of April and it was her first time boarding and staying with a pet sitter. Eva is so organised, she took Oxa to the vet to have her booster, she gave her flea tablets, she has trained her to be more calm and to follow when having walks, she even bought a harness for Oxa and gave it as a gift to Oxa. She gave me advices, considering that Oxa is a shelter dog, which help me a lot. She answered to my messages even after the booking.Eva kept me up to date and sent pictures regularly too, which it was so reassuring. I definitely recommmend Eva, she has been briliant!”
“Pedro has looked after Chester several times now. Each time we feel completely at ease that Chester is well cared for and has a great time and trust Pedro implicitly. Chester is really anxious but he loves Pedro! We are always very grateful when Pedro is available when we go away as we know Chester is in the best hands!”
“Sid absolutely loved staying with June and Ben. He was spoilt rotten and really enjoyed having a playmate. Would not hesitate to recommend June and will definitely book her again when the need arises. Thankyou for taking great care of him. Mark and Julie x”
“We highly recommend Jessica !!! Our pup Mila stayed with Jessica and her lovely family for 4 nights. Jessica is extremely accommodating & flexible every step of the process. Jessica sends regular updates and photos. Mila was so well cared for and loved. I didn’t worry for one minute while she was in Jessicas care as she is so attentive and thinks of every detail. We will definitely be rebooking with Jessica again soon. 😊”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and have owned dogs throughout my life, giving me years of hands-on experience caring for different breeds, personalities, ages, and needs. My passion for animals extends beyond my own pets. I regularly volunteer with local animal shelters and have fostered numerous Basset Hounds through rescue centres, helping them transition from rescue life into loving forever homes. These experiences have taught me how to care for dogs with a wide range of temperaments, including nervous, senior, rescue, and high-energy dogs. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work from home full-time, which means your dog will have constant companionship, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day. They're never left alone for long periods and can enjoy a relaxed family environment. Our home is filled with animal lovers. I have two kind and respectful children who adore dogs and enjoy helping to give plenty of love and attention to our furry visitors. I also have chickens, ducks, a bunny, and a cat, making our home a place where animals are truly part of the family. I have a fenced yard. The yard is very large, loads of room to run around and to explore with my two golden retriever girls.
“Otis is a bit anxious and always very busy so we were nervous about leaving him in someone's home, but right from the start Kristy put us at ease. Krisy gave us daily updates about long walks and swimming, which, as it was our first time was really appreciated. Otis will definitely be holidaying with Kristy again!”
“I am so thankful for finding such a lovely person to look after Riley, he had the best time and I felt relaxed knowing he was being looked after in a lovely safe home environment with Shreya .”
“Would 1,000,000% book again. Tim’s first time being left with someone he isn’t familiar with since we’ve had him. Lourdes, your regular updates were fab and the kindness and compassion you showed towards him was really meaningful for us. Especially as we were unsure if he would settle. Thank you so much. Tim had a lovely time and clearly felt very comfortable being with you!”
About: I have had dogs throughout my life and have many years of experience caring for them. For 11 years, I regularly looked after Harvey, including caring for him when he developed diabetes and following his specific routine and care needs. I also regularly cared for my son’s dog, Hugo. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and understand the importance of keeping them happy, safe and settled in their usual routine. I’m a patient, caring and responsible person and genuinely love spending time with dogs. I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the needs of the dog in my care. I enjoy being at home and am happy to give dogs plenty of companionship, attention, playtime and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also happy to fit in walks and maintain their usual feeding and daily routine as closely as possible. I understand that every dog is different, so I’m happy to discuss their individual needs and routine with their owner beforehand. Your dog's safety and well being will always be my priority. I have a secure, enclosed backyard with solid brick walls, making it safe and escape-proof for dogs to enjoy some outdoor time. I will always follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine, and I’ll make sure they are supervised, comfortable and treated with patience and care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I will do everything I can to give you peace of mind while your dog is in my care.
“Our dog had a fantastic stay with Greg- he was so well looked after. We got sent so many photos which showed how happy he was and how well he settled! Definitely recommend!”
About: Although I am new to Rover, I have cared for dogs for family and friends for several years. I am reliable, caring, and committed to providing a safe, loving environment for every dog in my care. I understand how important it is for owners to trust the person looking after their pet, and I will treat every dog as if they were my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I am available for regular walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I live in a house with a fully fenced, secure garden, providing plenty of safe outdoor space for dogs to play. I also have a friendly young Labrador Retriever who enjoys spending time with other dogs. I always follow each owner's instructions and routine to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Our dog Biscuit had a wonderful stay. Great communication and so helpful as we booked the stay very last minute. Super updates with messages and pictures. They were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend.”
“Tilly is a nervous dog and is weary of strangers. However, Tilly was welcomed and made to feel at home when we dropped her off at Emma’s. Tilly was well cared for and we had regular updates on how she was doing. I felt comfortable in leaving Tilly with Emma and her family for her stay. I will be asking Emma to look after Tilly in the future.”
About: Hi, we’re Arno and Sarah! Having grown up surrounded by animals, caring for pets has always been a natural part of our lives. Between us, we’ve had experience with a wide variety of animals over the years. We grew up with dogs, as well as cockatiels, ducks, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, a chinchilla and even a pony. As adults, we’ve continued our love of animals and have been proud fur parents to a Cocker Spaniel, several cats and even a hamster. We work from home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. We understand how reassuring it is to know your pet is with people who are around to keep them happy, settled and treated as part of the family. We’re an active family and absolutely love being outdoors. We regularly head out to woodlands, beaches, parks and countryside footpaths, so your dog can expect plenty of walks, fresh air and adventure if that’s what they enjoy. Equally, we’re happy to adapt to dogs who prefer shorter strolls, slower-paced walks or simply lots of fuss and company at home. We are a busy but loving household made up of two adults, three teenagers and a four-year-old, all of whom have grown up around animals and are confident and respectful with them. One of our teenagers even works in a cattery, so animals are very much part of our everyday life. Our home has both a secure, fully enclosed garden and a separate enclosed yard, providing plenty of safe outdoor space for your dog to explore, play and relax. We also have a very friendly Cocker Spaniel who enjoys the company of other dogs, and our cat is well accustomed to canine visitors and happily keeps out of the way when he chooses. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we’d ideally like to welcome dogs that are comfortable around cats and aren’t inclined to chase them. We know that every pet has its own personality, routine and quirks, and we’ll always take the time to follow your instructions so your dog feels as settled, safe and loved as possible while you’re away. We’ll happily send regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, having fun and being cared for as if they were one of our own. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange a meet and greet, we look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! We work from home, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. Our schedules are very flexible, and when we do need to pop out, we can ensure we are away for no more than around three hours at a time. This means your dog can enjoy a calm, settled environment with lots of companionship, attention and reassurance while you’re away. We have both a secure, fully enclosed garden and a separate enclosed courtyard, providing plenty of safe outdoor space for your dog to explore, play and relax.
“Had a great experience as Beth looked after our mini dachshund pawfluencers (@haroldthehappyhotdog YouTube) including our clingy puppy but Beth did a great job knowing how to look after them and sent lots of update pics - definitely recommend as a dog sitter!”
“Thanks so much to Craig and his family for taking such wonderful care of Ted. They really listened to my instructions and followed them carefully. I appreciated all the updates and pictures, they really put my mind at ease. Ted came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m very grateful for the love and attention they gave him and would highly recommend them!”
“Lyn looked after my dog, Candy, for a week while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She is such a sweet, kind, and caring person, and it was clear that Candy was in safe and loving hands throughout. Lyn kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away without worrying. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for Candy was. I would highly recommend Lyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring to look after their pet. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Candy!”
About: **** Taking time out following the birth of my daughter, and while I have a couple of operations. Will be back available at some point soon!!! ***** I've had dogs since I was about 10, with a variety of breeds including a bearded collie, retrievers, a cross-bred rescue and my all time favourites, labradors. I enjoyed helping my parents train guide dogs too, and have used those skills many times over the years, helping train friend’s dogs when there was a need. I've also got plenty of experience looking after other people's dogs, as friends have often asked me to either babysit, drop in or fully take in their dogs when they've been away, something I've always been very happy to do, the latest being a fun mix with a shitshu with attitude and his very laid back buddy, an Alsatian😄 I don't have dogs of my own at the moment, however I would love to help other dogs if needed and is something I really enjoy doing, sometimes along with my partner. We are both very outdoorsy and love a dog walk, in all weathers! I'm available to help with any services for dogs at weekends (Fri evenings through to Sunday evenings) as I work full time in the week. We live in a house which has a large enclosed garden, and at all times, the utmost care is obviously given, with all rules and requests strictly adhered to. Photos will happily be provided, and I aim to please! As far as I'm concerned, anything else is unacceptable, as it's how I'd want my pets looked after.
“I cannot recommend Lai Yan highly enough! Her attention to detail when it came to caring for George was incredible, he almost seemed disappointed to go home! Leaving your pet is always hard, but she made it so much easier by sending tons of pictures and updates throughout the stay. A huge bonus was her own sweet dog, who was a wonderful, calming influence on George. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

Pedro has just looked after our dog Otto for a week. This is his second stay with Pedro. Otto is a rescue dog and can be nervous with new people and situations. Pedro was very accommodating and made sure he did all he could to make Otto feel at home. When we picked Otto up he was very happy and relaxed and was in no hurry to go home. We will happily use Pedro again and recommend him without hesitation.
Ralph had an amazing time with Andy and his family! He looked truly happy and settled from frequent photos and updates received. Andy took great care to ensure Ralph was as comfortable as possible during the heatwave. Thank you for welcoming Ralph into your home and treating him as one the team! We are relieved to have found a great sitter and friend for Ralph for the future! Thank you all so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 .
