“Shelley had my labradoodle last minute for me whilst I went to work. She sent lots of photos all day to update me with how he got on. He looked like he had a lovely day and would definitely use Shelley again! Thankyou so much xxx”

About: I’ve looked after my neighbours dog when I was younger for money. My partner had always had dogs. His is now 5 and had him since he was a pup so went through the training. We look after him when his parents are away as well as our other family members and friends dogs too! My partner and I both work full time on weekdays however one of us is always home or only gone for a couple hours at most. We would love a dog ourselves but we are not ready for that currently so looking after dogs temporarily is a perfect solution for us dog lovers! We have a secure fenced garden. We don’t have any other pets so your dog/s will be our sole focus on making sure they are happy and healthy

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.
“Fiona was great with Rocky! She made us both feel at ease from the moment we met her and Rocky had a great day. He is looking forward to his next play date and his little holiday there in a few weeks! Highly recommend.”

About: I have chosen to be a pet sitter as I am now retired & have lots of time on my hands and a lot of love to give. I have had cats and dogs all of my life right from when I was a child. I recently lost my cat at the grand age of 20 and am lost without a pet to care for. I would love to board a cat or dog on a short-term basis. I am a kind caring lady who has a lot of love and affection to give to anyone’s pet. I currently work as a home help 3 days a week. The longest I’m away from the house is about 2 1/2 hours at a time! So I’m around most of the time. I live in a lovely 100 year-old cottage that is very spacious - I’m happy for cats to have the run of the whole house ! I also have a lovely garden which is very secluded and quiet. I have plenty of time for affection & love!
About: I've grown up with dogs as part of the family all my life. Over the years we've had a variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, a Boxer, Bichon Frise, Shiba Inu, Japanese Spitz and Dachshund. I'm the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, trusted to provide loving care and make sure their pets are happy, safe and well looked after while they're away. I took on a 6 month old rescue GSD with behavioural issues and trained him to be a well behaved, reliable and trusted member of our family. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having company, I'll make sure they're treated like one of my own and given plenty of care, attention and affection. As I am currently home full time I'm able to provide constant care and attention for your pets throughout the day. They'll have my full presence and support, ensuring they're never left alone and receive the companionship and care they need at all times. I have a large fully fenced private garden, providing plenty of outdoor safe space for play and relaxation. This can be easily accessed via a dog flap when required. I aim to create a comfortable homelike environment for your pets. If you have specific preferences, I am happy to follow your guidelines to ensure your pet's stay aligns with their routine.

About: While I'm newer to professional dog-sitting, I've spent years building real hands-on experience with dogs. For years, I lived with my family's Shih Tzu (Simba) and took an active role in his daily care including regular walks, feeding and making sure he felt loved and comfortable. I've also taken care of other family dogs including labradors and a cavapoo. These experiences have given me a genuine understanding of a dog's routine and needs. I'm a careful, attentive caregiver who treats every dog like family and I'm excited to bring that same warmth and dedication to your pup! I am typically at home during weekdays with plenty of time to take care of your pet(s). Availability on weekends is also possible on request. I love an active lifestyle so happy to take dogs for a walk anytime if day. I have a fenced garden for your dog(s) to run around and let off some steam. Different rooms inside the house for activity/spending time or quieter places for rest and relaxation for your dogs.
About: Had pet dogs all my life. I've been working with hearing dogs for deaf people for 12 years as a volunteer, training dogs through from puppy to fully registered assistant dog. I work part time from home with a flexible routine. I can adjust my day around your needs if required, but mornings are my preference. Routine is important, so I aim to fit in with your pets normal routine. Dogs love a chat and a bit of company which I am happy to do.
“We took Barney, who is blind, to visit Laura in her own home. Barney was really happy to meet her and Troy again and he enjoyed exploring the garden and coped well with the new surroundings. Laura is extremely kind and patient and we feel she would go out of her way to ensure Barney is safe and happy when he is staying with her.”
About: Hiii, I have had dogs my whole life and love learning their weird little characters. I’m well versed in medicine and special care due to precious pets having specific needs. I work from home full time and am a very active person and love walks. I know what it feels like having to trust someone with your pet and how scary it can be. So I can send you as many pictures and videos of your little doggie and help make you feel safe with your choice . I’ve got a little Noodle myself who will also take care of your doggie. Hiya! I am lucky enough to work from home and usually set 2 hours free everyday to go to the gym. I walk my own dog for 1hr plus everyday and can cater for longer and shorter walks depending on the pet. My whole day is orientated around my own doggie and therefore nothing will change when looking after yours. My home is big enough to adventure around and can allow your dog its own personal space if they want that. I have a garden which is accessible all day and the doors are always open so that they have access to play whenever they want. I have a forest and field behind my home which is perfect for walking. I sometimes have to go to the office on a Wednesday morning and am back at lunchtime, however, I have a friend and neighbours that checks in on my dog and can do the same when pet sitting if needs be. I have a good size garden and a massive forest and fields behind my house. Which is absolutely amazing and can cater for doggies that are scared of car journeys. I have a little sausage that is very playful and loves other dogs and would love to have a little friend join her :)). The patio doors are open all day long to allow for doggies to come in and out when wanted. I have a two storey home however don’t allow my own dog to run up and down the stairs. She does however come up with me at night and stay with me in the bed. She is more than happy to share her sleep space but if doggies prefer to be alone they can have whatever space they need in the house. We can cater for any weird habits your dog has picked up or any requirements that are needed. :))
About: My name is Lucia and together with my fiancée Lara, we offer dog walking, pet sitting and house sitting services. Since I was a child, I have always been around animals and my family owned anything from gerbils, rats, hamsters, to cats, dogs and even a horse. I have studied veterinary nursing for 4 years and worked at vet clinic, pet shop, doggy day care, and volunteered at animal shelter. I have experience with different breeds and sizes of dogs, all kinds of temperaments, and rescue dogs and cats, as over the years I have fostered many puppies, dogs and kittens. I really enjoy working with animals, as it’s something I have always wanted to do. If you entrust me to take care of your beloved pet, I will make sure they are having great time and treat them as my own. Currently this is my main job, and I am very flexible with my time, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends. I live in a flat next to a park, and woods close by, so there is plenty of dog walking routes near by. I have very friendly dog that can keep your dog company while in my care.
About: I have been a pet owner since the age of 10, starting off with a rabbit and guinea pig. I have been working with and studying animals for 13 years. I have a degree in Zoology and a PGCE. I am a dog trainer so have a huge amount of experience with dogs of different breeds/sizes/ages/temperament. I have lots of experience working with a wide variety of species and am qualified to handle and care for aquatic, exotic, small animals, farm animals, and companion animals. I have assisted dogs in giving birth, cared for and bottle fed both newborn puppies and kittens, nursed elderly dogs with health concerns, and much more. I have a lot of experience working with dogs that suffer with separation anxiety and behavioural issues. I can carry out any training you are doing with your animal consistently and see to any medical requirements they may have. I am looking to get back into work following a period of sickness. I am currently very flexible and able to care for a range of species. There are many ways in which we care for our pets. Small animals need their cages spot cleaned or full cleaned, food and water, enrichment and affection. Exotic animals have very specific requirements, temperature and humidity control, live feeding of invertebrates, and supplements. Cats and dogs need companionship, exercise, and enrichment. My experience and education have prepared me for carrying out all the above and much more. Keeping the environment clean and tidy to reduce bacteria build up and reduce the likelihood of accidents. Ensure the property is secure e.g. windows and doors locked, alarm set, no strangers entertained or allowed in to the property. Ensure the animal is being monitored and kept safe during its activities.
“Sarah is great and Stanley, my cocker spaniel loves being with her for walks and lots cuddles. Sarah is very friendly, responds quickly to my questions and is very flexible. She is a great find.”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Stevenage
Alex is absolutely wonderful and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She looked after our dog Seker, who can sometimes be anxious around new people, but from the very first interaction, he was calm and at ease with her. That says everything. Before the booking, Alex arranged a meet and greet and came prepared with thoughtful questions to get to know Seker properly about his routine. It was clear she genuinely cared about understanding him as an individual, not just ticking a box. Throughout the day, her communication was brilliant. She was highly responsive and sent lovely updates so we always knew Seker was happy and well looked after. That peace of mind is priceless. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is attentive, caring, and truly goes the extra mile, Alex is the one. We'll absolutely be booking again! 🐾

Tillie was fantastic with our dog Lola & looked after her for a couple of days while she was in season,as our usual dog day care would’nt take her. We appreciated this enormously,and would definitely book her again in the future. Tillie sent photos to show how our dog was getting on and looked after her brilliantly,I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

There are 15,389 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Stevenage. About 87% of Stevenage 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.

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 Stevenage 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 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.
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 .
