“Brunel had an awesome weekend with Raul and his family. He came back full of beans having had quality time, walks, trips out and family cuddles. Loads of updates on how he was getting on and excellent communication as always from Raul. Totally recommend their services and Brunel can't wait to visit again.”
“Kristina was wonderful looking after Marley. Reassuring from the start to the end. She messaged us with helpful updates but not too often! We will definitely come back to Kristina for another stay”
“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.”
“Milena and her family took great care of our 4 year old French Bulldog, Kaia, while we went abroad visiting family. We received regular updates and pictures and we could tell she was spoilt as if a member of their family. They even gave Kaia the present we left her for Christmas morning and sent pictures and videos of her enjoying it. It was very reassuring while we were away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Milena for dog sitting.”
“Millie can be a little nervous in new environments, so we knew this stay might take her a bit of time to settle. It did come with a few challenges, but Ornela handled everything with great care, patience, and understanding. Communication was excellent throughout, and we really appreciated the regular updates and the effort made to keep Millie comfortable and supported. We’re very grateful for the care and attention given — thank you again for looking after her so well. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ornela to anyone — she’s a very caring and understanding person.”
“It was the first time I had left my dog Skye with Varinder and I have to say that I could not be more happier. The service was excellent. She looked after my dog really well, listened to my instructions and kept me updated on holiday so I wouldn't worry. I would have no hesitation in using Varinder again. Thank you so much XXX”
“Sally was unbelievably helpful when I needed a last minute sitter! Communication and updates were very regular and I could see Kimi and Alfie were having a great time with her and the children. They actually didn’t want to leave on collection - I will be booking again! Thanks Sally.”
“We left our elderly Labrador, Daisy with Inese and her family. Daisy had a great weekend. She came back bright as a button and I could see that she'd been well-looked after. Including the taking of oral medication and strict dietary requirements. Thank you Inese.”
“Where do I even begin?…..Firstly a huge thank you Rebecca for taking such good care of Barney. He has spent his first few days back with us sulking clearly missing you and Huxley. You treated him like he was your own and had lots of adventures with him. Knowing that he was with you, safe and having fun allowed us to completely relax. I would recommend highly recommended you and would love for you to take care of Barney again. Thank you again so much.”
“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!”
“Valeria, has be faboulous in looking after my 1 year old Cavapoo Milo. I always get a pic or video during the day to put my mind at ease. Milo loves his time at Valeria's home and is very playful with her dog and he always returns a happy dogo! Thanks Valeria.”
“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 ⭐️”
“We had our golden retriever stay with Padma and the family. She has been amazing, always sending us photos and videos and kept us updated. Arya had a great stay we could see from her behaviour as she got back home that she really enjoyed the stay. Thank you for all your help Padma, definitely recommend!!”
“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!”
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.
“Ciri had an amazing time with Anita. Great communication during the whole time, we knew that ciri is in good hands. Definitely a worth recommending to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter in the area. Thank you !”
“As a first time boarder of an elderly dog, I was anxious about leaving Lady with strangers for a number of reasons. I didn't need to worry however. Greg and his family provide a positive and nurturing environment for dog boarding. Communication was good, he accommodated changes in timings and dates and was more than happy to oblige with needs for Lady. The house/garden are perfect with plenty of room, clean and safe. Lady entered a very calm and warm space and felt the benefit of it. I received adequate updates whilst I was away. She was very happy and settled when I picked her up and I felt she could have stayed longer. Massive thumbs up from us if you are looking for a calm, solid family to care for your pet. I wouldn't hesitate booking up with Gregory again.”

I cannot even begin to say how amazing Raul and good lovely wife are. They looked after our Mimi so well! Raul sent constant updates reassuring us with what Mimi was doing. We were so happy and completely assured of Raul and his love for our Mimi. Mimi is the visited water and us very queen in her personality, he understood everything we asked him to do with mimis routine and. He couldn't have been more attentive. He got her to eat which is a hard job in itself because she's very fussy. Thank you Raul and family we look forward to many more stays with yourself!!
Padma and Shanti done an excellent job looking after our 2 yr old German shepherd female, we wanted to leave Skye with genuine dog lovers and from the get go you could see both Padma and Shanti are exactly that, great communication, really happy with the service and Skye had an amazing retreat thank you !!

We were so lucky to find Gabriele when we were looking for a doggy sitter. Gabriele is very professional and great with dogs. We received frequent videos of Diego, enjoying pack life with Gabriele's other dog guests and it was evident that he was having the time of his life. Gabriele also offered to pick up and drop of Diego which was a big help when we were rushing to get ready for our holiday. This is what gold standard service looks like. Thank you Gabry!
Molly had a great time with Julia. She seemed very tired when she got home which is a sign she had a very good stay. Julia was really attentive, sending us photos of what Molly was up to. Also very grateful to Julia as Molly needed some medicine whilst we were away and Julia took over that with no issues. Julia was very easy to communicate with and responsive which was great.
Edita and her family were incredibly warm and welcoming — Skye settled in with them straight away. We loved receiving regular pictures and videos, and it was clear she was enjoying her walks, cuddles, and naps. Skye came home happy and relaxed. We’d highly recommend Edita, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again soon.
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!
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!

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 .
