“Winter throughly enjoyed his 2 weeks away. A lovely family who provided plenty of video/photo updates throughout the stay. They looked after him so well and when we were stuck abroad they really put us at ease by taking care of Winter until we were able to get back. Winter clearly misses them and their dog, Mia. We highly recommend them.”


“Thank you for having our lovely boy winston. I know he can be quiet challenging with his separation anxiety but he seemed to fit in perfectly with you guys. Got sent some great pictures of winston enjoying his stay whilst we were away and always kept in contact. Couldn’t of asked for a better experience, we were nervous leaving him with some one new for the first time, but we needed not to worry he had the best time ever! ❤️”


About: Hi, I’m Keeley! I’m new to Rover, but grew up with dogs and regularly host my friends and families dogs whilst they are on holiday! I adore dogs of all kinds and would love to care for yours with the same love and attention as you do at home. Your dog/s will be the only pet in the home (aside from some friendly fish!). My aim is to provide a safe and welcoming environment full of lots of playing, cuddles and walks (or whatever else your dog might prefer). I live in a house, where the dogs are welcome to roam and relax as they please. I also have an enclosed garden and only offer bookings on days where I will be available all day, so you don’t have to worry about your pup being left alone. I am also near to some great walking and sniffing spots! I can provide updates as frequently as you would like and am happy to discuss any particular requirements your dog may have! Please feel free to reach out :) thank you I work in healthcare and do three long shifts per week, so I only offer availability on days and nights where I am completely free to spend time with your pup. I live in a house with an enclosed garden and near to lots of great walking and sniffing spots. I am home all day/night when dogs are booked in and am happy to accommodate any particular needs or routines.

“Our dog Marley went to stay with Denise for the day and had the best time! Updated with pictures and told about his day on pick up. Marley also made a friend in her little dog Dottie (who is very lovely!). Will definitely be using Denise again. Thank you :)”


“Chelsea was fantastic with our dog Neville. She kept in contact, and was happy to react to any information we gave. Would be happy to leave Nev with her whenever needed.”


About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—dogs, horses, cats, rabbits—you name it. A country girl at heart, now living in town on a quiet private lane, just a short stroll from lovely dog-walking routes. I’ve had my dog Nelson for 10 years and have cared for friends’ and family’s pets with ease, from energetic pups to senior companions. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for cuddles, toilet breaks, and a good daily walk. Animals have always come naturally to me, and I pride myself on being kind, calm, and reliable. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily drop-ins, I make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and completely at home—even when you’re not. I work from home, so I’m around all day for toilet breaks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I offer boarding during the week and weekends, with flexibility to suit your needs. Whether it’s a full day or just a few hours, your dog will be in calm, caring company—with a daily walk guaranteed. I live on a quiet private lane with a big, secure, and wonderfully wild garden—basically a dog (or cat!) advert’s dream. There’s plenty of space to sniff, explore, and relax. My home is peaceful, animal-loving, and just a short stroll from lovely walk routes. I’ll always follow your dog’s routine and preferences—whether that’s crate training, solo time, or social snuggles.

“Our dog Maggie had a fantastic time with Carlie and her family while we were away on holiday for a week. Maggie seemed to have a great holiday too! She got on really well with Buddie and seemed to miss him when she got home! Carlie is so lovely and will definitely be the first person we contact next time we're away!!”


“Charlie was great- she cared for Rusty brilliantly and was very helpfully flexible with pick up and drop off. She also provided good communications with us about how things were going. Would recommend!”


“Charlie came back happy, so I am happy :-)”


“Both my dogs Eva and Luna really enjoyed their stay with David and Ronnie. One of mine is more nervous around strangers and David really understood, and gave her time and lots of affection. They were looked after so well, got taken out on different walks and I received a lot of photos which gave me peace of mind! 10/10 would recommend! And Ronnie is such a character!! ???”


“Echo came back happy and incredibly well looked after, Amy was super friendly and constantly updated me throughout the weekend! Was like a puppy holiday”


“Well, what can say Woody has the best time is so comfortable around Caroline and our home I have nothing but positive things to say I feel so relaxed that Woody has been looked after how I look after him”


“Hayley’s a lovely girl. We left our two Poochon pups for 5 days whilst on a trip to Disneyland Paris. They were very well cared for and judging from the photos Hayley sent us they had lots of fun too !! Would definitely book with Hayley again without a doubt x”


“Ziggy always has a great time at Lucy's. He gets excited as soon as he realises we're going to her house, and enjoys plenty of long walks and care from Lucy and family while he's there.”


“Craig was great. He was really prompt replying to queries, very helpful and reassuring. It was the first time we had used Rover and we would not hesitate to use Craig again. Amber was her normal happy self when we picked her up which showed that she had felt at home. Highly recommend Craig, thank you!”


“Secil and her dog Coffee were a perfect fit for my boys right from the start. She accommodated my dogs needs in terms of feeding times and medication schedule. She took care to maintain their routine with regular walks. She sent me photos daily and didn’t hesitate to ask questions. My dogs bonded well with Secil and felt comfortable at her home. They also found a playmate in Coffee. This was Secil’s first assignment through Rover and the first dog boarding experience for my young Frenchies: I would definitely keep Secil on speed dial in the future. I gave her 5stars and I would also recommend her to anybody looking for an attentive and kind dog boarder.”
