“We were absolutely delighted with Tue service that Emily provided, Winston was at home from the start, we received photos during his stay and he was cared for as if he was at home. We would definitely recommend Emily and we will certainly use her again.”
About: My family has a long history of rescuing dogs! We rescued our much loved Australian sheep dog when I was 15, I helped train him and look after him for 9 years. I also cared for both my grandparents rescue dogs up until their old age I work from home full time. Fully remote! Would love a dog keeping me company in the house. The house is a bit of a renovation project I care for all animals with safety and respect. Happy to walk, feed, water, play with whenever they need. We have a walled garden and plenty of green space near by
About: I have taken care of peoples pets for a good few years now and decided to join Rover. I have experience with both cats and dogs. Feeding, walking, regular check ins, playing etc, all depending on the animal and the requirements. I have boarded at my home before. I have also been trusted to stay at other peoples homes while they've been away to look after their pets. I am available for bookings and can work my weeks to accommodate them. There are two people in my home, adults, so if boarding there will always be someone in the house to provide the care and attention for your dog. I must stress if boarding your dog MUST be cat and dog friendly. I offer various services of care other than boarding so please see my information. I am DBS checked with a basic clean certificate to hand so trusted in other peoples homes. A non smoker, I live in a smoke free and substance free home where your dog would get full roam of the house and garden. My garden is fully fenced with high panels. I also have cameras in and around the home for extra security. I live a minute from 3 large fields, I am also surrounded by huge acres of land. So your dog would get all the exercise they require if they require. Not to mention less than a mile from Stafford Castle.
“Thanks for looking after floss and Stanley today. Great location. Samuel was fine with meeting us at the house. Dogs seemed to have had a nice time. Samuel advised us on how dogs had been. Very grateful for him looking after our dogs for us”
About: We love spending time with dogs and have plenty of experience with them, having both grown up surrounded by dogs and until recently were proud dog owners, having had our boy since he was a pup. We’ve also got some outside space that borrowed dogs can use. We both work from home so have full availability on weekdays! We also won’t leave any dog in the house by themselves whether they’re happy to be left or not. We had a dog who had quite bad separation anxiety so we’re used to working our schedule around any furry friends! Your dog will have our full attention, we have a fenced garden so they’ll have space to wander as well. We also have bowls and beds already from our old pup.
About: Me and my partner are huge animal lovers, we have grown up surrounded by pets of many different breeds- with many dogs in our family, from cockapoos, collies to German Shepherd's. Due to this we I have developed a good understanding of their needs. We have lots of experience dog sitting for family members and friends pets for up to 2 weeks. We walk the dogs up to twice a day and will take care as if they're our own. I puppy trained my own dog and can orally give medication if and when needed. We provide doggy daycare, doggy boarding. Dog walks will be between 30-60 mins depending on their age and needs and/ or specific requests. We offer boarding of 2 dogs at the same time due to space and the attention to each dog that we want to give our full attention to. We will ensure all dogs receive lots of love, care, attention, playtime throughout the day. Working remotely allows us to attend to their needs at all times. ! I’m currently on maternity leave with my 4 months old son Harrison, my partner works remotely! Which means we can give your pets lots of care and attention. I love getting outdoors for long walks and doggie cuddles. We are happy to dog sit any sized dog, have access to a gated garden outside our home and and have lots of local parks one within a 1 min walk. We are able to fit in regular toilet breaks for your pet as our schedules are flexible. This means your pets won’t be alone at any time of the day.
“My dog absolutely loved his time at Hayley's and came home worn out and contented. Hayley's love of dogs is obvious and I thoroughly recommend her for watching your furbabies.”

Great experience! He looked after our dog for 2 days while me and my partner were at work and took really good care of him. We got updates throughout, and our dog seemed very happy and comfortable. Reliable, friendly, and easy to communicate with — would definitely book again!
Top notch service, met up and walked my boy to make sure they were happy with him and vice versa. They all got on like a house on fire and then the day I dropped Rocket off to Hannah, she was already at the door to greet us before I got out the car, sent me a photo and messages checking what Rocket was like in different scenarios. Extremely thoughtful and considerate and will defo be using again in the future. Highly recommended.
Sophie had our 2 year old working cocker spaniel for the day and we are so thankful!! She had no issues taking care of Nala and gave her a lovely walk. Nala came back very happy and we are so grateful to Sophie for looking after her for the day especially at short notice.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Stafford on Rover is £27.6 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,257 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Stafford. About 86% of Stafford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Stafford commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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 West Midlands 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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
