“Raul and his family treated Archie as if he was their own pet. Lots of lovely updates during the stay showed us how well he was being looked after. Total peace of mind whilst away on holiday. Recommended”
“Kim was fabulous! I was able to leave my young 1 year old Shiba with her while travelling for work for a day, zero issues. My pup had a great day playing with Kim, zooming around the garden and Kim provided updates too for peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book Kim again in an instant!”
“I was delighted when I met Mary and saw how my senior dog Tilly seemed at ease with her. I am very grateful to Mary for making Tilly feel at home and also for managing all Tilly’s needs. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing Tilly was in safe caring hands. Thank you Mary!”
“Blu had an other great time with Diane. She is always so well taken care of and seems to enjoy herself. I will gladly recommend Diane to other dog owners. She’s kind, loving and caring towards them.”
About: Hi, we’re James and Alice! We understand that leaving your dog with someone else requires a massive amount of trust. As experienced dog owners, our goal is to provide a safe, loving, and reliable "home away from home" where your dog can seamlessly slot into a healthy, happy routine. We share our home with two friendly resident dogs: Albus (a playful 5-year-old Shih Tzu) and Houdini (a sweet, 7-year-old rescue Kokoni who is an absolute lap dog). We are a predominantly adult-only household, meaning our home environment remains calm, predictable, and focused on the dogs. When we first adopted Houdini, he was a bit of a rescue escape artist (hence the name!). Because of this, we took no chances: our secure garden is now completely enclosed and 100% escape-proof. You can rest easy knowing your dog can explore the grass safely and securely. We generally prefer more chilled-out dogs who enjoy a mix of structured walks and relaxing while we work, but we are absolutely happy to welcome higher-energy dogs as long as they are friendly with other pups. Albus loves a good play session, and Houdini is always happy to share the space. Whether your dog wants to fetch a ball, enjoy a structured neighbourhood stroll, or just curl up next to our desks during a meeting, we can't wait to welcome them into the pack! Because we both work from home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. We have a wonderfully structured daily rhythm that keeps our dogs content, relaxed, and well-behaved: 7:00 AM: First walk of the day (30 minutes). If the weather permits, we head to the field to throw the ball for Albus. (Houdini remains on an extended lead - for obvious reasons 😂) 7:30 AM: Breakfast time, followed by a morning nap in the kitchen while we log on for work. 11:00 AM: A second 30-minute leg-stretcher walk around the local streets. Afternoon: Plenty of garden breaks for toilet trips and fresh air. 5:30 PM onward: Evening wind-down, dinner, a post-dinner snack, and plenty of sofa cuddles in the front room. Weekends: We love taking advantage of our free time with longer, scenic weekend walks. Because we have our own two dogs, Albus and Houdini, safety and harmony are our top priorities. All introductions start with a mandatory "Meet & Greet" in the days / weeks beforehand to ensure a great fit. Once a guest arrives, initial interactions are strictly supervised. Because we work from home full-time, guest dogs are under our watchful eye throughout the day, ensuring everyone plays nice and respects each other's space. Our home features a fully enclosed garden that we have made 100% escape-proof—a project we took very seriously after adopting our rescue, Houdini, who liked to "wander" early on. Dogs can enjoy the fresh air and toilet breaks safely without any risk of slipping away. We maintain a highly structured routine around food, walks, and rest, which inherently keeps dogs calm and secure. To prevent any resource guarding, dogs are always fed separately and given their treats in designated spaces. While we work, the kitchen serves as a secure, cosy hub for downtime, and we use separate rooms if any pup ever needs a quiet, undisturbed rest or a time-out to decompress. Our upstairs area is a pet-free zone, so we don't have guest dogs sleeping upstairs. Instead, bedtime is fully downstairs: our boys, Albus and Houdini, sleep comfortably in the kitchen in their baskets (or on the sofa), and guest dogs will join them in this secure, cosy downstairs setup for a peaceful night's rest.
“We are so grateful to Kristina for looking after our two doggies while we were on holiday. She kept us updated daily on how they were getting on and sent us photos. We will be sure to book again! Many thanks Kristina :)”
“Julia was truly amazing! This was our very first time leaving our pup with someone else, and she made the entire experience incredibly comforting (for both us and our dog!). From the start, she was attentive, responsive, and really took the time to listen to our needs and requests we had. She kept us updated with tons of messages and adorable photos, which made us feel totally at ease. Our pup settled in with her so naturally—it was clear he was happy and well cared for every step of the way. We are beyond grateful and would highly recommend Julia to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and loving caregiver for their dog!”
“Edita was an instant favorite of our two boys. She is so friendly and put Ben and Riley at ease within the first few minutes. Her home is lovely and very dog friendly as is her garden. She was so sweet and sent us pictures and videos of the boys throughout the day. They clearly enjoyed snuggling and napping with her on the couch. We have other little trips planned and are definitely booking with Edita again. 7+stars ⭐️”
“Milo had a lovely time with Gina. First time we’ve left him with a boarder so was very apprehensive but shouldn’t have worried he had a great time. Lots of updates via photo and video. We definitely use Gina again.”
“This was Kaia's third visit to Milena and family. We were kept updated with photos. Kaia was taken care of really well in the sweltering heat and definitely enjoyed her stay again!”
About: Hi! I’m a full-time dog mum and work from home, which means your dog will have company, supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ve had two dogs in the past and now share my home with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Baileys. Raising her has given me hands-on experience with puppy training, daily routines, positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’ll care for them as if they were my own. Whether they enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved. To ensure a positive experience for everyone, I only accept fully vaccinated, friendly dogs who are comfortable around other dogs, as they’ll be spending time with Baileys. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so your dog will have company and supervision throughout most of the day. Walks, playtime, toilet breaks and rest will all be tailored to your dog’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a clean, calm and smoke-free home with my friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Baileys. I only accept fully vaccinated dogs that are friendly with other dogs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, medication (if needed), walks and any house rules, to keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible.
“Jacqe has been great with our puppy Ryder while we went abroard leaving him for the first time. Lots of pictures and reassurance. We will definitely be using him again when we go away in the future. Happy puppy and happy family!”
“This is the second time we have asked Sally to have our dog now and she and her lovely family did not disappoint. I Would highly recommend, she sends regular photo updates, is very quick to respond and is really lovely ☺️”
“This was the first time I have used Rover and I’m so glad I found such a lovely, friendly, and caring couple to look after my dog. They were really kind and made my dog feel completely at home. My dog absolutely loved being there, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring doggy day care experience.”
About: My husband and I have been around dogs for many years and genuinely love caring for them. We are responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Friends and family have trusted us to look after their pets, and we always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in our care. We’re happy to follow specific routines and are comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments. I work from home most days which gives me lots of flexibility and me and my husband would have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! I have a nice fenced garden and two cozy living room area where your pets can stay, play and have fun! I can create your pet if necessary and put pets in different spaces if they prefer to be more alone.

Jacob was great! He accommodated to my schedule, I really appreciated his flexibility. He sent me pictures and updates all the time, as requested. I left my cat and my dog with him and both enjoyed their stay there. Ona can notice that through pictures and videos! We’ll be back!
Raul is the most caring and patient sitter, we wouldn’t trust Archie with anyone else. We received daily updates, photos and had peace of mind while we were away. Raul and his family took Archie out to explore, he relaxed in the garden and enjoyed some play time! He came back a very happy boy <3
We needed a boarder for eight days with relatively short notice. Catarina was available, and we were lucky she was. We just picked up our dog today and he seems like he had a fantastic time with her. He has his personality quirks, just like every dog, but she handled everything my dog could throw at her with the highest level of professionalism and competency. I can’t recommend Catarina highly enough!
Cosmo loved the week at Padma’s, they took care of him as it he was their own. The family took great care of Cosmo and gave him lots of love, care and attention he was right at home with them and enjoyed every moment 😊. Thank you Padma and Family for looking after Cosmo so well. I will defo be booking him in again.
I was delighted when I met Mary and saw how my senior dog Tilly seemed at ease with her. I am very grateful to Mary for making Tilly feel at home and also for managing all Tilly’s needs. I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing Tilly was in safe caring hands. Thank you Mary!
Vanessa was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter for Rex. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so much easier for us. She kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which was really reassuring. It was clear that Rex was not only well looked after, but truly happy and comfortable the entire time. He settled in so well with her, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
This was our first time using Liliana and she was so lovely. She took great care of our dog for the night and made the whole experience really easy. We received lots of updates throughout, including pictures and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. We would definitely recommend Liliana and would love to have her look after our dog again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Spelthorne on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 South 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 .
