About: I'm a genuine dog lover who treats every dog as if they were part of the family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of different breeds, ages, personalities and needs, from energetic young dogs and puppies to dogs needing extra patience, routine and attention. My experience includes regularly caring for a Sprocker Spaniel named Obi for around two years, several times a week and often overnight. This involved multiple daily walks and runs, feeding, bathing, playtime, toilet breaks, following a specific diet plan and keeping his owner updated throughout the day. Through this experience, I learned the importance of consistency, exercise and understanding the unique routine of each dog. I'm currently helping care for a young French Bulldog called Coco, who is still in the early stages of training. I follow her owner's training programme, including crate training, toilet training, feeding schedules and exercise routines. This has given me valuable experience working with young dogs, reinforcing positive behaviours and maintaining consistency in their development. I've also cared for my cousin's Staffy mix called Saf, and her litter of puppies. During this time, I helped monitor both Saf and her pups, ensuring they were fed, comfortable and well cared for while supporting the routines recommended by the owner. Saf also had some behavioural challenges, which taught me how important patience, calm handling and following an owner's guidance can be when caring for dogs with different needs. More recently, I looked after a sausage dog named Louis for around four months after he lost his owner. During this time, I provided plenty of companionship, walks, affection and overnight care to help him feel settled, safe and loved. This experience reinforced how important emotional support, patience and understanding can be for dogs going through changes in their lives. What makes our home special is that I live with my mum and sister, who are also huge dog lovers. Dogs receive plenty of affection, attention and companionship throughout the day while still having the space they need to relax and feel comfortable. I work from home for most of the week, meaning dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy regular exercise, supervision and company. We're based in Stafford with access to plenty of green spaces, dog-friendly walking routes and a large enclosed garden. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime or simply having people around who genuinely care about them, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy and at home. For me, dog sitting and walking isn't just about supervision. It's about building trust with owners and creating a home-away-from-home environment where every dog is treated with the same love, care and respect as a member of the family. work from home four days a week and am generally available from 6:00am onwards, allowing me to fit pet care naturally into my day. Dogs in my care benefit from regular walks, playtime, companionship, feeding schedules and supervision throughout the day. With a large garden, dog-friendly local walks and a family of dog lovers at home, I can provide a safe, flexible and loving environment for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Every dog is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine, personality and any specific requirements before they stay with me or I care for them in their owner's home. Whether it's a feeding schedule, medication, crate training, toilet training, exercise routine or behavioural needs, I believe consistency is key and will follow the owner's instructions closely. In my home, dogs become part of the family. They receive plenty of love, attention, exercise and supervision throughout the day. I work from home most of the week and am generally available from 6:00am onwards, allowing me to provide regular walks, toilet breaks, feeding and companionship. We have a large garden, plenty of toys and access to dog-friendly walks and green spaces around Stafford. I've cared for a variety of dogs with different needs, including active dogs requiring multiple walks and runs each day, young puppies following training programmes, dogs with behavioural challenges, and dogs needing extra emotional support and companionship. I'm comfortable reinforcing owner-led training, crate routines and specialised feeding plans. When caring for a dog in an owner's home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I'll provide regular updates, photos and communication to give owners peace of mind while they're away.

“Nicole was absolutely amazing! I won't be using anyone else from now on (although it's not often we leave our little man behind!), she kept us updated for 5 days on everything Slinky did and gave us loads of photos and videos so I felt safe and relaxed on my trip knowing Slinks was so well loved! Definitely would recommend to anyone.”

“We’re so grateful to you both for looking after Melody again. She’s always so happy and well cared for with you, and it means the world to us to get your updates and lovely photos. Thank you for all the love and attention you give her! 🐶😍🥰”
“We booked our newly recused dog Zlata in for the weekend at short notice (purely because we can’t communicate plans to each-other in this house!) Zlata had the most amazing time and was looked after so so well. She is live wire and has a lot of energy and we learn new things about her. We were updated regularly how she was doing and sent lots of lovely pictures and videos!! I would 1000000% recommend booking! Thank you”
“A huge thank you to Laura for looking after our dog Reggie for a second time now! Laura is amazing around Reg, and instantly put us as owners at ease about leaving him with someone else whilst we were away. She is super friendly and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs - thank you Laura! 🥰”
“Man Choi was amazing with Biscuit! She sent lots of updates and photos to us during our holiday to put our minds at rest. Biscuit really enjoyed her time with Man Choi and Man Choi made sure Biscuit had lots of fuss and all her medication, food and drink and toilet breaks too! We would use Man Choi 100% again and are so happy with how she looked after Biscuit and treated her so well with lots of love and care. Great care and communication! Thank you!”
“Cloud is a very clever dog and I am quite sure he knew where we were heading on the train. The train dorrs opened and he almost leapt into Jo's arms he was so pleased to see her. I think Jo was rather pleased to see him too! Absolutely no qualms about leaving Cloud with Jo - in fact I've just requested another stay.”
“It was a perfect experience. Very nice people. Jimmy had a really good time. Just like two days of holiday. Very good communication. I don't even know what to say. All great. Many, many thanks 😊”
“Melissa was amazing with my 2 cats they are both indoor cats and Melissa kept them safe and made sure windows and doors was closed. Updated with pictures and videos everyday. They was both nervous at first, Melissa was so patient and loving towards them that they came out of hiding. I will definitely be using Melissa again when I go away next year. She was absolutely amazing with my 2 cats I highly recommend Melissa with her caring and loving nature towards animals”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Stafford
First time using Rover as family normally has my dog, however due to no availability I wanted to my dog to be somewhere that feels like home! I stumbled across Stephanie's page and what a great choice I made! Stephanie and her family have been amazing with Lola, they welcomed her like their own and updates along with pictures were sent to me regularly! I knew Lola had a great time due to seeing how comfortable she was in all the pictures Stephanie sent. They followed every detail from food and care, to love and comfort. They are very easy to talk to and reassure you that your pet is in the best hands! Their dog bailey is super sweet also! He was amazing with Lola and shares his home happily! We would highly recommend Stephanie and family. We will sure use them again!
This was Mickey’s second stay with Sophie having stayed for 2-and-a-bit weeks in August. He loved going back, went straight in and made himself at home. Unfortunately Mickey was taken ill while we were away but Sophie was amazing, taking him and picking him up from the vet, giving us regular updates - nothing was too much trouble. Thank you again for looking after our boy so well!

When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 1,356 sitters in Stafford, 72% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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.
