“Dougal had a brilliant time again. He obviously felt at home, as soon as we got there to drop him off he rushed in to met the family and was so excited to be staying with Catherine and her family again. He's made friends with her dog Poppy and is obviously very comfortable. We are just so happy he loves it and comes home like he's had a little holiday too. Great sitter, cannot recommend enough.”
“Shelley and Dave looked after our puppy for the first time and were amazing and put our minds at ease!! They gave us regular updates on how he was getting on throughout the day - thanks so much!”
“Linda is amazing person with big hart❤️ for a dogs🐶 . We have daily updates with pictures and videos of our dog with really enjoying time spent with Linda . Highly recommended 👍👍 Thank you Linda”
“Upon meeting Fiona on the first visit I knew our dog will be carefully taken care of. Kira’s first boarding confirmed it. I felt completely at ease during her boarding, receiving regular updates and photos about her and how she was doing. Fiona really cares for the dog she’s looking after treating Kira as if she was hers. Fiona’s home is clean, spacious and really welcoming and Kira definitely enjoyed all of it. I would not hesitate next time Kira needs to be looked after for a day or more, and would bring her back to Fiona’s care.”
“We asked Rajat , to mind our cat for two weeks during holiday there was no way we could bring her with us , then Rajat was like family to her, he has a high sense of responsibility and respect for animals like no other , he was informing us daily about our cat reassuring us at any time , I would highly recommend him .”
“Alex was outstanding in her care and attention to our Bailey. He clearly had a wonderful time and came home a contented boy! She kept in contact during his stay with pictures and we felt happy knowing he was safe and being looked after. We have no hesitation in recommending Alex and her 5 ⭐️ care.”
“Lachie was well looked after. Donna was incredibly kind and accommodating. Lachie settled well and Donna kept me updated with plenty of photos. The dog looked very content and got lots of attention. Would definitely use Donna again and would highly recommend”
About: I've owned dogs all my adult life. I recently lost my beloved Cavachon Winnie and feel this is the right time to become a sitter. I miss the company of having a dog and feel this is the ideal solution I'm retired so your pet will fit into my routine easily. I have a huge park literally across the road where I take your dog for a good run or leisurely walk My house is dog friendly in every aspect. The garden is fully enclosed. If you dog sleeps on the bed they sleep with me. If your dog is allowed on the sofa he's allowed on mine. Home from home is my home
“Sarah was great. Stanley, our cocker spaniel, had a wonderful time and we loved seeing the photos and videos that Sarah sent on almost a daily basis. He’s was exhausted when we got him home 😊”
“Left my baby with Arron for a few days. She was well looked after well cared for and loved. We met before hand for a meet and greet and that went well. I will be booking again instead of using any kennels. Thankyou again Arron”
“We have used Nathalie three times now and our dog Milo just loves going there! He adores Nathalie's dog Tilly, who has a lovely temperament, and we just know that he is good hands because both Nathalie and her husband are such dog lovers. Milo has also stayed over twice there now and he was very settled both times. I will certainly use Nathalie again and would definitely recommend her.”
About: Growing up surrounded by dogs and cats, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the past 6 years I've become the go-to sitter for my sister's dogs — regularly looking after them for weeks at a time while she's on holiday. And it's not just family — back in London during grad school, I also looked after my neighbours' dogs, so I'm well used to understanding different dogs' personalities, routines, and quirks from the get-go. Friends and family have always trusted me to give their pets that extra bit of love and attention when they're away, and that's something I genuinely take pride in. I work from home full-time with a very flexible schedule, which means I'm around most of the day and able to give dogs the company, attention, and routine they need. Weekdays, evenings, weekends — I'm available and happy to accommodate whatever works best for you and your pup. I'll always tailor my care to your dog's needs — whether that's gentle walks and a calm environment, specific feeding schedules, or longer play sessions for a more energetic dog. My priority is always making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and right at home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine — I work from home full-time and never need to go into an office, which means I'm available around the clock, seven days a week. Weekdays, weekends, no problem at all. Dogs in my care will never be left alone for long stretches — I'm always home and happy to give them my full attention. My home is a calm, loving environment where pets are treated like family. I have a small backyard where dogs can go potty and get some fresh air, and I'm lucky to live close to some beautiful parks that are perfect for walks and a good run around. I always respect the owner's instructions to the letter — whether that's diet, exercise levels, medication, or any other specific routine — so dogs feel as safe and settled as they do at home.
“Veronika took care of my 2 year old Frug for a week as a very last minute request. The care and attention given to him during his stay was outstanding, Veronika is so kind, attentive and tuned in to all of the needs of the animals in her care. It is very clear to see she has a deep love and appreciation for dogs, and hours of planning goes into their stay. He was given long walks, tried new foods, lots of cuddles and understanding and space plus fun. I received lovely pictures and videos throughout his stay, and she has continued to check on his wellbeing since. I cannot recommend Veronika highly enough. Not only is she an incredible dog boarder, she is a genuinely kind person too.”
“Sarah and Leigh looked after our dog Chip for 1 night whilst we went away. They were absolutely brilliant! Sarah listened to all our requests and really took the time to understand Chips personality and little ways. I felt 100% reassured that he was in great hands. They sent messages and pictures to update us on what he'd been up to which was lovely. I'd have no hesitation in recommending this lovely couple to look after your fur baby. And Chip cannot wait to go back! Thank you Sarah and Leigh for taking such good care of our precious boy! ❤️”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats since I was a child and have always been comfortable around animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends and family have regularly trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets while they were away. I understand how important patience, attention, and routine are to keeping pets happy and comfortable. I’m currently working from home, so I have plenty of time to look after your cats and dogs. I’m available for boarding during both weekdays and weekends. We have a fenced front garden where pets can safely play and enjoy some outdoor time. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines, to help pets feel comfortable and at home. Since I work from home, I’m able to supervise them throughout the day and keep them company.
“Very friendly and relaxed dog sitter, which was great for my more anxious dog. I got regular updates and my dog came back after clearly having a great time. Over three days my mind was absolutely at ease with Jas taking care of my dog. He was also very flexible when I was caught in traffic and late for pick up. Overall, I couldnt rate his professionalism and care of Joiner any higher.”
“Thank you so so much for Sadie’s wonderful stay (again!) She loves her walks with you and had lots of fun playing with the other dog staying with you. We love receiving the photos of what she’s up to, thank you! We’ll definitely be booking her in for another stay next time we go away.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Stevenage is £35

Nala & Loki were really well looked after for an extended weekend. They were happy and had walks with other doggy friends which is just lovely. It was extremely warm this weekend and Fiona cared for them so well. I am very happy and got great videos/pics of their walks. I have no doubt they will be very happy to go to stay with Fiona and her family again.
Poppy looked completely at ease and enjoyed her stay with Catherine and her family. I received lots of photos and updates while we were away which were reassuring seeing Poppy having a nice time. I would thoroughly recommend Catherine as a caring and reliable sitter/boarder.
I am a nervous "father" of a cat and a dog but meeting Rajat and his partner I was re-assured very quickly that my pets are in good hands. His place was super clean, calm and his cat a lovely friend for Fidel. Highly professional and recommended. Rajat thank you for taking care of Puffina and Fidel. Without you we wouldn't be able to do any holidays.
Ishtaars home is very animal freindly. Willow loved it there as was shown on the pictures we recieved. We were updated every day and there was always communication. Willow is routine and ishtaar kept to it. Willow was comfortable with the whole family and made freinds with them all. We are very picky about our sitters as is willow. We would recommend her 100%.
When we met Dawn she was very calm, kind, professional and trustworthy. She welcomed Lexi into her home and really got to know her so that Lexi’s care would be as close to her home life as possible. Lexi settled with her immediately and Dawn sent us photos and videos of Lexi’s walks and her day. We feel so lucky to have found such excellent care for our little Lexi when we are away.
Sophie was absolutely amazing with Lucky! She accepted our booking last minute and was very flexible with the timing, even accommodating an early 6:30 am drop-off, which we truly appreciated. She took great care of Lucky, spent time playing with him, and handled his medications with complete ease and confidence. Her professionalism and genuine care really gave us peace of mind. We’re very happy with her service and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! 🐾💛

And Chip cannot wait to go back! Thank you Sarah and Leigh for taking such good care of our precious boy! ❤️
Alison was lovely and did a wonderful job of looking after my Troye for the day. It was the first time I had left him with someone he doesn’t know and I felt he was in great hands and could relax on my day out. She kept me informed with pictures and updates so I knew how he was. Will definitely be using Alison again! X

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my dog, Milo, while I was away on holiday. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely cares about animals. She looked after Milo with so much love and attention, keeping me updated with photos and messages the whole time. What really impressed me was that she even cooked food for him! It’s clear she went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, healthy, and comfortable in my absence. When I came back, Milo was calm, content, and clearly very well looked after. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind while they're away. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Milo!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Stevenage
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stevenage on Rover is £40.25 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 14,616 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stevenage. 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 .
