“Inga and her family took great care of our dog Daphne. We were provided with regular photos and updates which showed Daphne was settled and happy and had lots of playtime and walks. Thank you so much Inga!”
“Alix and her family looked after Saffy for us overnight. She was well looked after, got to know their pup Toby and we had regular updates and photos so kept up to date with how everything was going. Brilliant boarding ??”
“First class care for our very special boy, he had such a good time, I don’t even think he missed us. Jan kept in touch regarding how he was getting on, he had ball games in the garden and a lovely walk in the country. Thank you for looking after him so well.”
“Philip was absolutely brilliant looking after my greyhound, Coco. She came home very calm and settled after her stay. He took her on some really nice walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which was very reassuring. Philip and his wife have a lovely home and it was clear Coco felt comfortable there. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and would happily recommend him to others. Thank you very much!!”
About: I have plenty of time and love to give to your dogs. I have lots of experience with caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages. I am confident and comfortable with all different dog personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs, dogs with medical conditions and young puppies. Just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs. I have had my own dog for the past decade, a Jack Russell who I rescued in America who has now sadly passed and now we have a lovely ex-racing greyhound. I truly understand the importance of your dogs and that dogs are a member of your family. Please read my recent reviews. Here is a link for £15 off your first Rover booking https://www.rover.com/sit/jd37374 I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time and attention throughout the day. If your dog is staying with us then I will ensure I am at home all day, so they get the attention they need, with the exception if I need to run short errands of less than an hour (quick trip to supermarket etc). I absolutely love walking dogs and spending time outside. I have experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes. I live in a detached home in a quiet area with a large secure fully fenced garden (7ft fence). Your dog will have access to the garden whenever they need. There are lots of nice places to walk near my house including fields, woods and walking trails. Your dog can have the entire run of the downstairs of our home while they are here. We also have a dog gate for the kitchen door to ensure safety at night. Our dog, Coco, likes spending time with other dogs. When I’m caring for pets, their safety and comfort always come first. During walks, I make sure each dog is securely leashed with properly fitted gear, and I stick to safe, familiar routes. I pay close attention to their behaviour and surroundings to help keep them calm and happy at all times. For drop-in visits and dog sitting in your home, I follow the owner’s routine closely from feeding and playtime to any special instructions or medications. I always make sure pets feel comfortable in their own environment, keeping things tidy and ensuring they have fresh water and lots of affection before I leave. Communication and trust are key, so I keep owners updated with photos and messages after and during visits if requested. Please note for walks during hot weather, if it is too hot to safely walk your dog I will switch their walk to a drop-in visit (if required) where I take them out for a toilet break/let them out into the garden, spend time with them and ensure their water/food is topped up. That way they are still comfortable and have their basic needs met whilst you are out of the house.
“Effie has had another lovely week with Caroline - we were updated throughout with daily photos & videos. It’s reassuring to see how happy she is staying there. She’s looking forward to her next stay!”
About: Growing up in a house full of rescue cats and dogs ignited my passion for animal welfare, which goes above and beyond in both my professional and personal life. I understand how daunting it can be leaving your furry one in someone else’s hands and I ensure the best quality care catering to any specific needs, and guaranteed photos of your pet so rest assured you know they’re having fun. I’m able to be flexible working with your house sitting and home boarding needs. At home, I live with both a very friendly dog and loving cat, so your pet would have to be okay with this, otherwise I’m happy to house sit! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions 🤗 I'm experienced in walking dogs of all sizes, chihuahuas to great danes, and can promise walking routes and lengths dependant on your dog's requirements. I'm experienced in house sitting for both dogs and cats, and to ensure your mind is at ease, I keep in full contact with photos of your loved ones throughout time away from them.
“Simon put us at ease straight away and Jeffrey was at home from home. Jeffrey appeared to settle in well and Simon sent regular photos. We were very happy with the care Jeffrey received whilst staying with Simon and we would definitely book him again in the future. Thank you Simon and family”
“Janet had a lovely home to take care of Lobo in. She was relaxed and friendly and Lobo who can be nervous when we leave her, was happy to be there. Janet took her plenty walks and took good care of her. Would definitely use Janet again.”
About: I’m Lee 🐾 I’ve always had a big heart for animals, and caring for them is more than a job—it’s my passion. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playful adventures, or just a quiet cuddle, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra care and patience. My approach is gentle, reliable, and tailored to each pet’s unique personality. I am currently working part-time, but soon looking to care for animals as my full time job. I am currently available most afternoons and early evenings with some weekend availability when I can. Anything considered, where I am available. I have a fenced garden, that even keeps in my very Senior cat of 19 years for her daily wander around. Along with my 2 friendly playful dogs.
“Katy and her partner were absolutely fantastic with Ella, who had a lovely time with lots of walks, ball throwing and cuddles. We received regular updates with a great video and would highly recommend Katy. Ella is already looking forward to her next visit and thank you once again! Marea & Ella x”
“Martin looks after Pippa whenever we go away. I trust him and know that Pip has an amazing time in the home from home environment at Martins. I cant thank or praise Martin and his family enough for the love and care they give to Pippa, and the total peace if mind this gives to me. Thank you Martin we will see you again soon.”
About: Hey! I am passionate about providing calm, reliable, and compassionate pet care. With hands-on kennel experience and years of caring for my own rescue dogs, I have a strong understanding of dogs with anxiety, reactivity, and additional care needs. I believe every dog deserves patience, love, and care that works for them as an individual. Offering dependable dog walking and drop-in visits designed to keep your pets comfortable, exercised, and happy in their own environment. I have a retired racer greyhound and a Romanian mongrel rescue and so I am very keen on looking after dogs ranging in needs and different approaches. I am happy to look after all breeds of dogs and listen to how best to take care of your dog⭐️ I work Monday-Wednesday as a Dental Nurse and am home Thursday-Sunday to offer walks and drop ins for your doggies. I can work around you and your schedule on these days to make sure your dogs are looked after and happy. I provide calm, reliable, and personalised care tailored to each pet’s individual needs and routine. In a pet owner’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment by maintaining their usual feeding, walking, play, and toilet routines. I also provide companionship, enrichment, fresh water, medication if required, and regular updates for owners’ peace of mind. I will take lots and lots of photos don’t worry!🫶🏼 With experience working in kennels and caring for rescue dogs throughout my life, I am confident handling dogs with additional needs, anxiety, or reactivity. I approach every pet with patience, understanding, and positive handling to help them feel secure and relaxed. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family, with plenty of attention, exercise, rest, and one-to-one care. Obviously if they were in my home they would need to be happy to be around my two babies but as long as they’re okay mine are very friendly!
“Fabulous. We left our little dog with Jane whilst we went away on holiday and think he had a better time than us. We felt total peace of mind having him with Jane and she even taught him some tricks and trained him alittle in the week we were away. Cant recommend highly enough. 6 stars 🌟 if possible”
“Stanley had a lovely stay at Bob's lovely pet friendly home. Really helped me out of a short notice calamity. Lovely people , We couldn't of been made more welcome and Stanley was very well taken care of. I have no reservations in recommending Bob to look after your pet.”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with family dogs and was lucky enough to own a lovely Spaniel myself, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I also have spent eight years working alongside working dogs in the Civil Service, which gave me great experience around dogs with different personalities, needs, and routines. Above all, I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday to Friday and have the flexibility of working from home on certain days. However, when I agree to look after your dog, I will ensure that I am not working so that I can give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I enjoy being active and love going on long walks, so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and outdoor adventures. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy time outdoors, and I live just a 5-minute walk from a large open playing field, perfect for walks, exercise, and playtime. I take great pride in caring not only for dogs but also in maintaining a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment.
“After initially feeling nervous about leaving Pip for the first time, I needn't have worried at all!. Karen and Anthony went above and beyond to make her stay a happy one. We had regular updates and pictures & videos & could see she had settled into their home & was very content. Both Karen and Anthony have an obvious love of dogs, & have a wonderful home with beautiful surroundings & we will definitely be asking them to look after Pip again.”
“This was our first time using Cayman and we will definitely be using her again! She was very easy to communicate with to schedule a meet and greet and was absolutely amazing with our pups for the week she had them. Thanks again for such a great experience!”

Katie is a natural with dogs and a very experienced dog handler. As a repeat customer, I feel completely at ease that my dog is not only in good hands, but genuine caring ones. With lots of walks, cuddles and updates I feel totally reassured when I’m away. Katie is very friendly with great energy and an amazing doggie person.
Katy was very friendly when we had the meet and greet. Archie loved her house, it was very clean and well looked after. They also had a good spot for him to look out the window to people watch lol. Good sized garden for him to use and lots of places to sunbathe. She sent pictures so i knew archie was happy. He was very comfortable enough to snuggle with them as he loves napping. There are plenty of places for them to walk, even for a quick walk or longer depending on what is needed, Archie usually has short walks and sometimes we go longer and katy was able to do both. Her partner is also very friendly and was helpful to katy and they work well as a team. I would be happy to book her again.
Indie had a wonderful time with Andy and Laura. We received updates throughout the day, which was so lovely and reassuring to see how happy and settled Indie was. We would absolutely recommend Laura and Andy, and we’ll definitely be using them again. Thank you so much!
I was really sad at the thought of leaving my puppy for a weekend, and I couldn’t face the idea of putting him in a kennel. I was completely stuck because I had to be away for a wedding I was part of. Then I came across Jane’s profile which gave me the confidence to give this a try. Meeting her in person absolutely confirmed that I had made the right choice. While I was away she sent lovely updates that showed my pup was having the best time. He became best friends with her kitten Apollo, and with Juno too, and I honestly think he didn’t want to leave. He came home happy, relaxed and delightfully sleepy after a very active and stimulating stay. Jane also shared some really thoughtful feedback about him which has given me great ideas for training and adjusting the routines I have in place. I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Jane and her family. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone genuinely kind, responsible and empathetic to care for their pet. The icing on the cake was that Jane offered to drop my dog home along with his crate and bits once she realised I was travelling by taxi, which was incredibly kind. Thank you so much, Jane. Five stars from us.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - St. Edmundsbury
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in St. Edmundsbury on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 633 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across St. Edmundsbury. 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 East of 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 .
