“We felt really comfortable leaving Bronte with Lesley and Howard. Lesley sent photos of his stay which was very reassuring. The meet and greet beforehand is brilliant. Lesley writes down all details of Bronte’s needs and ways. It gave us confidence that he would be safe and well looked after, which proved to definitely be the case. We would highly recommend Lesley to look after your much loved dog. Brilliant!! Many thanks.”
“Thank-you for taking good care of Poppy, thanks for sending us photos it was lovely. This was the first time boarding with Poppy and she looks like she has had an amazing time xx”
“Alexandra and Chris were absolutely fantastic looking after our dog, Harley, while we were away in Cardiff for a few days. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in safe and caring hands. They kept us updated throughout our trip with regular messages and lovely photos, which gave us real peace of mind and allowed us to relax knowing Harley was happy and well looked after. It was clear she was getting plenty of attention, care, and affection. We couldn’t have asked for better sitters, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Alexandra and Chris again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and trustworthy people to care for their dog. Thank you both for taking such great care of Harley!”
“We left our beloved dog Blue for the first time ever with Walter and Angela. They were brilliant from start to finish. We felt instantly reassured that Blue was in good hands. He is an older dog with particular needs and they managed them with great care and easy. We had regular updates from them too.Plus their own dog Bonnie is a very friendly gorgeous dog with a wonderful temperament. I would highly recommend them. Thank you both!”
“Maddie and Alex boarded our ten month old Doberman puppy again last weekend so we could attend a wedding. When Roxy arrived at their house her tail began to wag and she was eager to get into the house, and play with them both. She was happy to see them knowing she would be looked after. She went on lots of long walks in the countryside and was very well cared for. I am fussy who we leave Roxy with, but would highly recommend this young couple to look after your pet. They are knowledgeable about dogs and go out of their way to accommodate your requirements. Again would highly recommend. Thanks again from Julie and Mike.”
“Aaliyah looked after Dylan for a couple of days whilst we got married and she was just amazing. Kept us updated with photos and reassured that he was happy (and being very much spoilt)! Thanks so much Aaliyah x”
“Olivia watched our two dogs for the weekend, including a new puppy, and she went above and beyond. We got daily updates and photos, and it gave us total peace of mind while we were gone.”
“Thank you Vivian and your husband for taking such good care of my two cats. You gave me daily updates right on time, spent extra time playing with them and even looked after one of them who has some respiratory issues with great attention. You were friendly, polite, and very thoughtful. I’ll definitely come back to you next time I need cat boarding!”
“Harry was excellent! -helped me out last minute -communication was easy and responses were quick -felt safe and comfortable dropping my dog off and ossy was in good health and good spirits when I collected him. Would recommend highly and would book again! Thank you Harry!!”
“Fabiola was amazing with scooby. She gave me regular updates with messages videos and photos . Scooby felt at home and having a friend ( Bandit) made a huge difference. I would definitely book Fabiola again for taking care of scooby in future.”
“We're very happy with the care our dog received staying with Larissa and will definitely be booking with her again. As this was the first time we have used an online boarding service and the first time leaving our dog we were a bit unsure how she would react to boarding. We needn't have worried, she didn't seem stressed in any way when we picked her up which says to me she was well cared for. Very happy with Rover and happy to recommend Larissa.”
“Laura and her family took a good care of Bagel for 6 days. Bagel really loves them as always. Laura updated me with photos and videos every day. I will no doubt trust and choose Laura again.”
About: I have two dogs age 7 and 5. I love my fur-babies and yours will feel part of our family when they stay with me. All my children are adults so I can concentrate on your dog and make sure they are feeling happy and loved while you are away. I love to go walking so your dog will have plenty of exercise and then plenty of cuddles at home on the sofa relaxing. I want it to feel like a home away from home. My day is already centered around my dogs, I go for daily dog walks with my husband round Worden Park which is a stones throw from our house. I'm always cuddling them and always talking to them!! Plenty of toilet breaks and playtime. I have a big garden with lots of grass and a patio area. My home has high secure locked fences. In the summer I spend lots of my free time in the garden which our dogs love.
About: Previously, I worked in kennels for 2 years and a dog boarders for another 2 so I have experience dealing with almost all breeds. I also come from a family of dog boarders so have grown up caring for dogs all my life. I am equipped at administering medication if needed and also have no dogs of my own at the minute so if you have a dog that may not always get on with others then that’s not a problem. I’m currently working part time 3 days a week so Friday-Monday I am free to take care of your lovely pooches. I am happy to pop in during the day to feed/let them out to toilet or take them on a nice walk and take care of them overnight. I have a fenced garden and no dogs of my own at the minute so we have a really safe and secure area. I also have a lot of fields and green/pond areas a 5 minute walk from my home so it’s a really great area for them to stay/be walked.
“Albus was calm and comfortable staying with Inna. She is wonderful and caring, with lots of love and attention to give to Albus. Thank for making him feel at home, he is very much looking forward to his next visit.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in South Ribble is £30

Absolutely made up with finding Lesley and her husband to look after Annie for us. Brilliant service and Annie was so settled in their home. We loved the photos and updates over the weekend of how Annie was. Will be our go-to if they have availability. Thank you again! Xx
I was so nervous to leave my furbabys while I went on holiday. But from start to Finnish Karen and Cole eased my mind. We had a little visit first. Then when we dropped them off they made themselves at home straight away. I was kept updated with pictures and messages. The furbabys had the best holiday going out for long walks and to the beach. I would definitely use them again. Thankyou so much 😘 xx
Jess and her family did a truly fantastic job looking after our dog. The pic updates were wonderful - great to see him so relaxed and happy. I’m pretty sure he was sulking/missing them in the days after we picked him up!🤣 Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back 😁
We couldn't of wished for a better place for our little Bailey to stay. He is a king charles cavalier who is only just 9 months old and very clingy so we were anxious about leaving him for the first time. Mark and Natalie were both amazing right from the start. Bailey settled into their family home no problem. We were sent daily photos and message updates of how he was getting on with his new little pals 🐶🐾🐕 They cooked their own fresh food for him every day which he loved. They took exceptionally good care of him especially in the latest heatwave. We couldn't be more happy we have found Mark and Natalie for Bailey and have already booked them again for our next holiday 😊

Amy sent regular updates and photos. She was also honest about Poppy shaking when she first arrived (she often does this) Amy reassured us she had wrapped Poppy in a blanket and had snuggles on the sofa which stopped her shaking. Poppy was made to feel safe and comfortable and included in Amy’s family home. We would highly recommend Amy.
Sian was incredible, so accommodating and my little jack has fallen in love with her. He came back tail wagging, better behaved and nice and sleepy. Sian kept me regularly updated the entire time to ease the stress of being away from a member of the family. Could not recommend her more, will definitely book again in future.
Chloe was great! As soon as she opened the door, I knew my dog would be in safe hands. She kept in touch with me for the full stay - keeping me updated and sending me pictures. She treated my dog as though she was her own dog - Even gave her a bath! My dog came home very tired - which is always a good sign! Our new favourite sitter and will definitely be using again if we are welcome. Thankyou so much 😊xx

FAQs for Boarding - South Ribble
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Ribble on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,417 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Ribble. 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 North 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 .
