“Inga and her family took fantastic care of our dog Milo! We got loads of updates and felt very reassured throughout the booking that he was being well looked after and happy. I’ll definitely be booking with Inga again!”
“Bentley had a great stay, Philip kept us updated regularly so always felt relaxed that he was ok and settled. Bentley had plenty of exercise with long walks and a trip to the dog park. Would definitely recommend and use again. Many thanks”
“Alix was amazing first time I have ever used rover or any kind of dog sitter and she made it really easy. I got photos and videos twice a day. Had a check in before the trip. Jessie even came home with a bag of treats. Amazing”
“Annalise looked after our Boston Terrier, Duncan, whilst we were away for a wedding. She was absolutely great with him and provided regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lucy loves Dogs & hit it off with Charlie. I did not have to worry about leaving him for the first time ever with Lucy. I got daily updates & pics of Charlie having fun and Lucy dealt with his medication for his ear infection which was great! Lucy is a lovely young Lady & I’ll be booking her again.”
“This is the second time Simon and Emily have looked after our lab Stanley. The communication is always excellent and Stanley really enjoys his stay with the family. The home feels large and safe and their pup Buddy is a delight. Thanks for the regular pupdates. Would definitely recommend”
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.
“Issy had a wonderful time with Shaun and his family.he was excellent with our energetic Staffie and we were really confident leaving her with him. They supported our routines as well as including her in their family life. He sent regular updates and the meet and greet beforehand was really beneficial and made us feel really comfortable that she would be well cared for. A very experienced family who looked after our Issy really well.10/10 would recommend.”
About: Having either coveted or owned pets since childhood, and recently experienced my daughter hosting dogs in our family home before flying the nest on her next big adventure, I’ve decided to take over the family business. Yes, I know inheritance does not usually work this way but, hey, hosting your fur balls has been such a joy, and I have such a perfect space here, why not? Familiar with separation anxiety, medication administration, and all that comes with family pets. Very fond of long walks. Well aware from personal experience how daunting it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and totally committed to ensuring their comfort and safety. Rest assured your pets will be well cared for - and lots of cute photos and updates will be sent. I’m self employed and work from home. My dog, Mo, and cat Gem, are well socialised and happy to accept well behaved comrades into their space. I have a big, secure fenced garden with lots of room to run around, and a comfortable living space where pets are welcome, including on the sofas. I’m respectful of other people’s needs and spaces, whether I’m visiting your home, or your pets are visiting mine, I’ll make sure their - and your - needs are met. Expect lots of photos - and possibly a short story, or poem from your pet.
“Lisa was really nice and attentive to the need of our dog, he had such a great time at her house and she always sent me updates and videos of how he was doing. I recommend her and I will for sure have her watch again over my furry baby”
“Second time having Jane watching Morris and she’s always brilliant taking care of him! We could tell that Morris had a blast, with lovely walks, playtime with Juno and cuddles on the sofa too! Jane was amazing, keeping us informed all times with pictures and videos, and also being very helpful in continuing Morris’ training with the lead and manners with other dogs while he stayed with her. Jane, thanks again for taking such good care of our Morris!!!”
“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.”
“Our boy Labradoodle, Aslan, felt immediately at home in Carolyn's house. Sometimes he takes a while to warm up to the sitters that we leave him with but that was not the case at all. She was very accommodating to our hectic pickup and drop off schedule. Though we always miss him when we're on holiday, we never felt too far away from our boy with the plethora of pictures and videos that were sent to us throughout the day.”
“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.”
“Fantastic service! Natalie treated my dog as if it were her own, will definitely be using again. Responses were very prompt and I was kept updated throughout the stay. Thank you very much!”
“Katy responds quickly to any enquiry. She arranged to meet Coco prior to the overnight stay and was very thorough in ensuring that she knew all about Coco. After this initial meet up Coco ran enthusiastically into Katy's house to stay overnight and greeted both Katy and her partner enthusiastically. When we picked her up it was clear that Coco had had a great time. We would certainly use Katy again.”
“Kezia looked after our Weimeraner, Salto, and we can't recommend her enough. This was Salto's first time away and as he struggles the separation anxiety, we weren't sure how he would cope. Well we had no need to worry, Salto settled incredibly quickly and had a fantastic time, he has come home super happy and relaxed, which is better than any review I can give. Kezia kept us updated the whole weekend with plenty of photos, which we really appreciated and nothing was too much to ask. I've already started looking at more weekends away and won't hesitate to use Kezia again. Thank you! ✨”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life quite literally, my first present as a newborn straight out of hospital was a gorgeous black ball of fur aka Tyson a German shepherd puppy and from that day on we were inseparable…. Needless to say now gsd’s are my favorite breed and will always be my favorite butttt and that’s a very big but all dogs of all shapes and sizes hold a special place in my heart. I get on with dogs better then I do humans forming special bonds and an instant attachment to any dog I lay eyes on. I can’t go anywhere without stopping whoever has a dog and asking them if I can make a fuss of them so I thought I would put this love or obsession whatever you like to call it to good use and help others and welcome your dogs into my home where they will be loved like my own and part of our pack… food bowls washed throughly after every use and water bowls washed every time it’s refilled. Long walks every day or even 2 times a day and no I’m not talking a hour at a time I’m talking 3-4 hours I believe dogs should be outside exploring not inside all day… mental stimulation is a must…in absolute no circumstances will my children be climbing pulling or disrespecting your dogs as they have been taught from a young age and are always supervised to make sure I maintain good behavior around dogs… I’m not saying I’m perfect I’m just saying I know what I’m doing and your dog/dogs will be made to feel at home, loved and as happy as my own 🥰🥰 I am currently a stay at home mum who is looking for an extra income to contribute more to my household and my family? So I have availability pretty much all day every day from 10 AM up until 2 o’clock I am free and from 4:30 till whenever you need I am free. I will have my children with me if you are happy with that I have a baby and a toddler that don’t go to school yet if it’s at the weekend, then I will be Child free. This does not affect my ability to do my job as I have pets myself and I look after them with my children. If your dogs are other dog friendly, I’m happy for your dogs to join us, if not that’s ok too I can take them separately. I have two dogs myself who are more than happy to keep your dogs company. I can crate your dog for safety, If it is needed I have a garden and children that would love to play with your dogs if your dogs are at my home or you are happy for my children to play with your dogs then my toddler is more than happy to if my other two are at school. I have plenty of fans in my house for this hot weather and they are on all the time. If your dog is at my home, there is freshwater everywhere in my home. I have no rules in my house for dogs, being toilet trained is preferred but if your dog is old incontinent or still a puppy, it is absolutely fine. I have hardwood floors and dogs have accidents happen. It’s easily cleaned up. Your dog will be more than at home here they’ll be allowed up on the sofas in our garden.
“If I could leave 10/10 I would. The dogs had a wonderful stay with Karen and Anthony whose kindness and care for the dogs' individual needs was absolutely evident. I very much appreciated the peace of mind of knowing they were safe and having the best time. Thank you both. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and hope this is the first of many stays.”

This is our 2nd year using Kate for our two dogs and she is the best! She’s so sensitive to their needs and so kind and generous with them especially when they really need her. Our oldest dog had a poorly tummy and didn’t make it outside quite in time, but Kate was so kind and looked after her so well despite the mess. We will definitely use Kate again and again if we can. ❤️
Holly looked after our dogs for us at short notice whilst we were having our garden landscaped. The dogs had the best time and they probably didn’t want to come home!! Holly took such good care of them and we will absolutely be booking Holly again and again to look after our pups!
Saiorse looked after Zoey for us for two nights while we were away, we received lots of photos during her stay and communication was excellent. I'm very confident Zoey loved her time with Saiorse and was well looked after. I would have no hesitation in recommending Saiorse and would happily book again myself. Thank you.
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 £34.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 651 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 .
