“Superb - friendly dog loving home My first time using Rover could not have been better. Despite short notice, Catherine and her daughters gave superb care to my spaniel for 3 days Lots of messages, pics and videos for me too! HIGHLY recommended”
“Louie had the best time and he was very well looked after. It was nice to get so many pictures and videos. I highly recommend Angelika. We would definitely use her again in the future”
“Nathalie was absolutely amazing with Nala while I was on holiday, she took care of her like her own and Nala had a great time. We got daily updates and she even went above and beyond to train Nala off the lead. Thank you! Highly recommend and would 1000% use again x”
“Alex agreed to look after our beagle Bailey for the 3rd time. It was unbearably hot and she took great care to make sure he was as comfortable as possible including late evening and early morning walks to avoid the heat. Alex kept us updated with everything plus pictures and we can highly recommend her without hesitation. Thanks Alex!”
“This was the first time that we had left Freyja with Fiona and I’m so glad we did! Freyja had a wonderful weekend and Fiona was so good at sending us pictures and updates. I will definitely book for Freyja to stay again - thanks so much Fiona!!”
“Unfortunately, just before our holiday, our dog had to have an operation. This meant that extra care was needed as Alfie had to wear a buster collar and go back to our vet to have his stitches out. Helen took all of this in her stride. She sent us an update every day and I was completely happy that he was in her safe hands. I would thoroughly recommend Helen to look after any dog. I will use her again without hesitation. Debbie & Alfie”
“Donna and Simon are fantastic. They look after our 1 year old male Cocker Spaniel so well that he loves going round and cries with excitement as we arrive. Our boy has made their home his second home and adores Donna and Simon to bits. We have booked a one night and a 7 night stay. On his stays we get daily updates with photos. We’re so happy to have found Donna through Rover and will definitely book with her again.”
“Another great experience with Shelley and Dave! Our little Jack had an amazing time with their family and we could not be happier with their care and dedication”
“Sarah and her pugs took great care of Freya on her first ever overnight stay with a sitter. Freya can be a bit anxious but I could see she was happy and calm in all the many updates Sarah sent. Sarah made Freya feel at home and even administered antibiotics as needed. Her warmth and understanding accommodated our uncertain travel plans and made the booking go smoother than I could’ve imagined. I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough. We will definitely be contacting her when we’re next in the area. Thank you Sarah!”
“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.”
“Zeyu was incredibly caring and patient with our kitten Moka, she was very nervous and spent a lot of time hiding, however Zeyu did everything she could to keep her comfortable and fed. And I got photo updates when she did show her face”
About: I'm a huge animal and nature lover and a very caring person. Always had animals in my life and know a lot about dogs, cats, small animals, plants and even fish. :) Currently live with a middle aged calm and quite Chihuahua, who never stays alone. I am not working at the moment, so if you need a summer break, short or long, be in touch and I can help with your small, calm fur-baby, who will be looked after like a real baby in my home. I'm currently not working and home full time. Can take one little dog in time on board during September month if you need to take a break. Please see my availability. Also, can walk or visit any of your pets in your home. I live in a flat next to a lovely park, where I walk my Chi every day, 3 times per day. I also have a secure balcony for "emergencies" during a night or a day where I have arranged dog's pee arear. My dog has a bit poor eye sign and scared of any dark objects. So, she won't be happy with any fully black or chocolate doggy. As well as with a puppy, which are full of beans (sorry puppies! ) However, she is very friendly with all other animals, including cats, rats, etc :) She also lived with them previously and raised 3 lovely kittens. Overall, she is a very gentle, well-trained, silent and calm "girl" and she will love a little friend, with who she can sleep on my bed.
“Heidi took excellent care of our Whiskey and sent lots of photos during his stay with her. Also her home has a dog flap so Whiskey was free to wander in and out as he pleased to the secure garden at the rear. Thanks very much for taking great care of Whiskey!”

Any questions, feel free to ask Pet care is already part of my everyday life. As a dog owner who works from home most days, I can provide regular companionship, supervision, walks and toilet breaks throughout the day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Oscar! Julia was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She kept us updated every day with lovely photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Oscar wasn’t just being looked after — he genuinely became part of Julia’s family and was showered with love, attention and care. He looked so happy and settled in every photo, and we knew he was in the very best hands. It’s obvious that Julia absolutely loves dogs, and her genuine care and affection for Oscar really shone through. She is kind, caring and trustworthy, and we came home to a very happy and contented Oscar. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Oscar with Julia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog as one of their own. Thanks again Julia! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our pup has been going to Alex for about 2 years for daycares and walks, but this week had her first overnight stay, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she received. Alex always has regular communication with us and sends photo and information updates. Ljuba has plenty of walks, playtime and affection - always having strokes and extra treats! She is spoilt with love and we would definitely recommend Alex for other dog owners 😊
King absolutely loved his time with Linda! She was brilliant with him – really thoughtful, caring and attentive, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. He came home very happy and clearly had a lovely time. We’d absolutely recommend Linda and would happily have King stay with her again!
This was Barney’s first stay with Heidi, but he soon settled in. We had a meet-up before hand & Heidi asks questions & took notes about Barney & his routine. This certainly helped, when we picked him up he seemed very relaxed & happy in her home. I would definitely recommend Heidi & book her again.
I had a wonderful experience with Zeyu as my puppy (Coco) ‘ sitter. From the very beginning, she showed genuine care and attention to Coco’ needs. Zeyu was responsible and kept me updated with cute photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. My puppy was happy, relaxed, and well-looked-after throughout the time I was away. I highly recommend Zeyu to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friend. I will definitely be rebooking in the future! Kemi
I’m so pleased I found Helen Everyone should have 100% faith in Helen . She went over and above the Rover terms ! Picked Kasha up and delivered her back .(reluctantly I think as she fitted in with the family so well) Kasha happy and healthy. Was flexible when we were bit later coming home . I would have no concerns about recommending her and the family she lives with .
We have had Lucia walk our dog and have ahad an overnight boarding. It is very obvious our dog loves being around Lucia, he gets very excited when they come to pick him up. I would highly recommend Lucia! We will certainly be continuing our bookings as our dog loves spending time with them.
I couldn't have asked for a better person to look after our puppy whilst we were on holiday. Layal was incredibly patient, attentive, and followed all of our routines. Our puppy is still training so Layal took the time to understand how we would treat him and would check with us if there was anything she could do to make him comfortable. We received regular updates, photos and videos which helped when being away for so long. We knew Leo was in safe hands!!! Highly recommend!
Veronika really took time to understand and accommodate Rosie's personality and make her feel safe. Rosie had a lovely walk, lots of well supervised play, loads of attention as well as chews to keep occupied. Great pictures and detailed feedback about the day. Great to finds someone with good knowledge of dog interaction and behaviour. I won't hesitate to book again and can 100% recommend.

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 .
