“Louise and Dean looked after my dog Tukka so well, and took her on such great walks that she didn't want to leave! Tukka stayed overnight and enjoyed cuddles on the sofa and snuggling up in bed. It is obvious that Louise and Dean absolutely love dogs - and with Tukka the feeling was definitely mutual. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Louise again or recommend her to others.”
“Sarah looked after George for two weeks. The photos and videos that were sent were great. Sarah was amazing. I could see how relaxed and comfortable he was there interacting with the family. Will definitely be booking George’s next holiday with Sarah. Thank you Sarah”

We can tell how much our girls love staying because this time when we dropped them off they ran to the front door!”
“Anna and her husband looked after Koko over the weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. They were very responsive from the start and kept us updated throughout his stay with messages, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. They were both incredibly supportive and helpful, and it was clear that Koko was well cared for and comfortable. I truly think he really enjoyed his little staycation with them! We would absolutely recommend Anna and her husband and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“We needed a dog sitter for our 2 dogs so we could go out for a birthday meal. Adele is friendly, professional, confident & knowledgeable about dogs.

Adele’s dogs are extremely happy & friendly & I wouldn’t hesitate to use Adele’s services again. Many thanks xx”

About: I have 6 years of veterinary care experience, I spent 4 of those years working for a mobile veterinary business so I have plenty of experience visiting other people’s homes to look after their fur babies. I have also done pet sitting for 5 family’s throughout the years. Building my own special bonds with their pets. I have looked after dogs of all ages ranging from puppies to 16 year old golden oldies. I am currently working full time, however have a flexible job in which I could work from home, as well as plenty of free time on weekends and evenings. I live in an apartment with a park just opposite, your pet will have access to plenty of greenery in order to do their business. I live in a coded entry apartment so there is no risk of your pet running outside

Ashleigh is brilliant! My little old dog Obie is blind and very bespoke and I could tell immediately that he was going to not only be fine with Ashleigh, but happy. She is totally dog focussed and I felt at ease straight away and was able to leave Obie without any worries. In fact when I dropped him off he was barking at the front door as he remembered where he was going and liked her and her dog Winnie. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
Booking with Elise was simple. Prior to the boarding Elise popped round to our home with her dog to ensure everyone was happy. Dropping of Lucy who is still a pup was easy and not as stressful as what we thought thanks to Elise. With Lucy still bring a pup and not understanding Elise's home was not a toilet there were some teething problems with toileting but Elise took this in her stride and dealt with it. We were given frequent updates and pictures of Lucy enjoying herself with Roxy. What is clear is Elise has has true passion for caring for dogs and from Lucy's reaction in saying goodbye to Elise when the boarding ended it was also obviously apparent that Elise looked after Lucy well. Lucy gave Elise about 100 kisses before leaving. If Elise was not a caring pet sitter Lucy would not have shown the affection towards Elise she did. Highly recommended even if Lucy does get barred..... Thank you Elise.
Rachel did a wonderful job looking after Leia for a few hours while I had a meeting. She was warm and friendly and I can tell Leia had a great time! Rachel even washed out Leia’s food bowl, and didn’t complain when I was late picking Leia up (sorry again!) Thank you so much!
Collette was amazing, updated me on everything during the booking, took amazing care of my puppy on an overnight stay and was so lovely in the lead up, during the stay and drop off. Great communication, excellent care, her doggie Reggie was my little pups bestie by the end and is a sweet gentle angel, and I would recommend Colette to anyone who wants peace of mind when leaving their precious fur babies with a sitter.
What can I say from first meeting Victoria I knew milo was in good care and going to be well looked after. We had regular updates , and Milo really enjoyed his stay, I will definitely be going back to Victoria she's a absolute Angel after we had to book Milo in at very short notice.,I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone wanting a dog sitting service. Thankyou Pauline Jimmy Sarah ❤️

Our baby has just came back from a week stay with Haylie and had the most amazing time! It was our first time being away from him and we felt so at ease with Haylie, we did a meet and greet before he went to stay with her which we felt very comfortable about and the whole stay she kept me updated with daily photos and what he had been up to. Gordon is still a puppy and still a little bit naughty but Haylie understood his quirks and he was well looked after. Highly recommend Haylie to anyone and will definitely use her again! 😊

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 North East 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 .
