“I cannot speak highly enough of Caitlin! This was the first time leaving our dog with pet sitter and she took very good care of him. She sent us frequent photos, which put our minds at ease. Our Ozzy came back happy and well cared for!!! Highly recommended! Thank you, Caitlin!”
About: Hi, I’m Keri! 👋 I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a busy, pet-filled household in South Africa, and I've been living here in the UK for the last few years. From massive, lovable Rottweilers and energetic German Shepherds to gentle Maltese Poodles, Labradors, and rescue cats, I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes caring for a wide range of dog breeds and cats, many of which were rescues, and each with unique personalities and needs. This experience has given me the ability to quickly adapt and provide tailored care for any pet. I know how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind, so my absolute priority is to provide a safe, comfortable, and affectionate environment where they can thrive until you get back. I currently work in a hybrid setting. This means that I have the flexibility to work from the comfort of your pets home to keep them company during the day. Alternatively, I'm available to sleep in Thursday to Monday or do evening check-ins during the week. For me, exceptional pet care comes down to consistency, safety, and open communication. Every pet has a unique personality and history, especially rescues, and I easily adapt my approach to make them feel comfortable and happy. * **Secure Environment:** I have a fully secured garden with a 6-foot fence, offering a safe space for dogs to enjoy time outside. * **Respecting Routines:** I strictly mirror your pet's existing feeding, exercise, and sleep schedules to minimize separation anxiety. * **Safety & Security:** I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensure all gates and doors are secured, and keep dogs strictly on-leash during walks unless in a designated enclosed area. * **Peace of Mind:** I provide regular photo updates so you always know how they are doing. Ultimately, my goal is to provide a calm, structured environment filled with lots of love and cuddles, giving you total peace of mind while you are away.
“Bad weather meant i got stuck in Lake District an extra day. Quick mesage to Michael and he sorted to take Archie another day. Amazing service and meant Archie got more fuss, attention and tummy rubs. Win-win”
“Luna stayed for 5 nights and was really well looked after. She can be a bit nervous, but settled in really quickly which was great to see. Samantha made her feel right at home. We got regular photos and videos throughout, which was reassuring and showed she was happy and comfortable. She really enjoyed her stay. Would happily use again and recommend.”
About: I’ve had Lola (working cocker spaniel) since a puppy for the last 6 years and have loved every second with her. She wins the ‘wildest and craziest dog’ award in many people’s eyes, so no level of energy from your dog will be too much for us (we also love a chilled afternoon). I am a teacher so very very available during school holidays and weekends. I am also DBS checked. I have looked over a variety of different dogs over the years and treat them just like my own. There will only ever be Lola and your dog, so they will receive a lot of attention and be part of the family. We have a nice sized house with lots of rooms if they wish to take themselves away and a fenced garden that they can potter around during the day. We also live 2 minutes from 3 parks, so will be walked daily either on or off lead (down to your preference). Feel free to message with any other requests or queries and I will get back to you :) On my available days - it is either on weekends or during the school holidays. This means I can be home as much as needed. Our routine will consist of lots of sensory play during the day (my dog loves hide and seek). Lots of cuddles on the sofa and either road walks or trip to the park (your preference). I have a fenced back garden and lots of rooms for your dog to chill in. We have room for a crate, dog bed or have beds they can sleep on if desired
“Sara looked after our dog for a long weekend. Did a great job of helping our dog settle as she was nervous at first. Lots of photos and videos of her walking and playing with our dog. Will use again”
“Another lovely sleepover for Bagel! She’s so comfortable with Chloe and Bianca now which really shows how much care and attention they give her ❤️ Thank you both so much! x”
“Zaria has looked after my dog many times now. I feel absolutely comfortable leaving my dog with Zaria, she ensures all my dog's needs are met and that she is most comfortable”
“This was our first time boarding with Palash as our regular boarders were unavailable. Palash was absolutely amazing and took care of our dog very well. He was also very accommodating with a last moment change in pick up schedule. Our dog had a wonderful time and we will definitely go back in future.”
About: Hi, I'm John Noden! I've grown up with dogs my entire life on a farm, surrounded by Border Collies and Labradors. My profile photo is with Tag, one of the Border Collies I was lucky enough to grow up with. I've experienced caring for dogs from playful puppies right through to 16 years old, giving me an understanding of their needs at every stage of life. I'm an active, outdoorsy person, so your dog will enjoy plenty of walks, playtime, and mental stimulation. Whether they love adventures or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I live in Springmount Mill Apartments in Stockport, where regular toilet breaks are quick and easy. I also work from home two days a week and can often be flexible with those days, meaning your dog will have lots of company and attention. While I hope to have a dog of my own one day, caring for other people's dogs is the perfect balance for now. I'll treat your dog like they're part of the family and keep you updated throughout their stay so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. I work from home two days a week in a 3D design role, so I’ll be around for plenty of company, toilet breaks, playtime, and attention. I do have occasional Teams meetings, but I can plan my schedule around your dog’s needs. I’m available from around 8:30am through to the evening on weekdays, with overnight stays also available. I can often have your dog stay from the evening before to make things easier. I live in a secure second-floor flat at Springmount Mill in Stockport. I have a small balcony which is safely fenced off with bamboo panels, and I’m happy to make sure it’s not accessed if needed. I can provide a comfortable and safe space for your dog and can fit a crate in my flat if your dog uses one. I’ll always follow your instructions and adapt my home to make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“Linda looked after our Jackhuahua, Bella, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We received constant photo pupdates which gave us complete peace of mind, and it was clear Bella was having the best time in Linda’s lovely home. She came back happy, relaxed, and well looked after. We’ll definitely be booking with Linda again - highly recommend!”
“I cannot thank Chrissie and her lovely family enough for taking such good care of our dog, Dexter. I was kept regularly informed with photos and videos of what they were getting up to and it helped to see him looking so settled and happy. He was so well looked after and I would absolutely send him again. Thank you so much Chrissie, family and pooches for making him so welcome xx”
“Booked last minute due to being let down personally, quick reliable communication, kept me updated the whole time. Ariel my dog loved being there, instantly felt at ease. Very friendly professional would use every single time I need somebody now thank you so much xxxx”
“Milo stayed with Carol and her husband at their wonderful house for 2 nights and is due to stay again for the week. They have a lovely outdoor area and are clearly spend plenty of time in the house getting attention! Milo was exhausted when he got back, so clearly had a lot of fun with the other dogs and playing in the dog field! Thanks! X”
“Beth looked after our 2 Cavapoos for a night. She was great - the boys settled well at her house and were well looked after, she sent pics of their stay and kept us well informed. Will definitely be using again. Thanks so much!”
“Max absolutely loved his few days with Jenni, Biscuit & family! Came home one very happy and relaxed boy. He got lots of attention, walks and we had great picture updates whilst we were away. Thankyou!☺️”
“Damien and Emma go above and beyond to make your dog feel at home. Our dog Isla loved being with them and she cried when she left them on the way home 😂. She was obviously well cared for, had some lovely fun walks and had the company of their own Vizsla. As Isla is also a Vizsla I was great to have someone to look after her who understands this sensitive breed. Highly recommended”
“Flo was brilliant, stepping in and taking Frankie at the last minute. Frankie clearly had a great time with Flo and she took great care of her. Communication was quick and simple & I would definitely book again!”

Ciaran and Sasha were next level dog sitters. We had a pre meet so that Ciaran could meet Wilf and have a good look around his large garden. During Wilf’s stay we had plenty of updates, pictures and videos. It was clear to see that Wilf was being treated very much as part of their family. We returned home to a very happy, settled and well cared for pup. I just hope they are free next time we go away.
Becky looked after Cleo and Beau overnight for us. This was the first time we’ve used Becky and it definitely won’t be the last. Great communication, and I felt totally at ease knowing they were both being so well cared for. Thank you so much again — we’ll see you again soon x
I honestly can't recommend Samantha highly enough. She looked after my two dogs, Rocco and Winston, for 10 days while I was away, and from the moment I met her at our meet and great, I knew they were in safe hands. The level of care, love and attention she gave them was just exceptional. My boys aren't the easiest pair, as one is older and one is younger, both with very different needs, but Samantha handled everything brilliantly. She kept me updated with lots of photos and messages of the boys playing and looking so happy, which meant I could actually relax and enjoy my holiday knowing they were happy and being so well cared for. When I picked them up, it was obvious they'd had an amazing time. In fact, I think Rocco and Winston would have happily stayed a little longer if they could 🤣! They came home relaxed, content and clearly very loved. Finding someone you trust completely with your dogs is priceless, and I've found that person. I won't hesitate to book Samantha every time I go away in the future. Thank you so much, Samantha, for treating Rocco and Winston like they were your own. You're an absolute star, and I couldn't recommend you more highly. 🐾❤️
Dexter has been to stay with Angie a couple of times now and each time he comes home truly relaxed and well exercised. She really goes above and beyond, handling his wellbeing and needs so thoughtfully through 2 heatwaves. I love getting the regular pictures and updates, and appreciated her getting up and out early and late to avoid the heat of the day. It feels like she genuinely cares about your pet having the best experience possible and she loves helping make that happen.
Micky and Becca were lovely and took really good care of Jasper. Really easy to communicate with, sent regular updates and I could tell that Jasper had a really good time. It made going away so much easier knowing that he was in good hands and being treated like their own. We’d definitely recommend them and will definitely be booking again!
This is the third time we have used this amazing Lady. Daily pics of our fur babies out walking. Updates are the same. We struck lucky when finding Sonia and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone who is looking for a dog minder that is hesitant about who they leave there dog with. Your dog may not want to go home with you lol Mike and Jackie
We were anxious about leaving our dog with a sitter as he is 15 and has never been to a sitter before. As soon as I met Linda a week before leaving Monty I knew that she would take great care of him. She was very open to his sleeping and pill taking routine. Pictures of him showed he was relaxed in her home. I would highly recommend her.
Sara looked after our Schnoodle Bear for the night. Sara was brilliant at replying quickly and organising everything was very easy. Bear had a lovely time and we were sent photos and updates throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again! Would highly recommend
This was our first time boarding with Palash as our regular boarders were unavailable. Palash was absolutely amazing and took care of our dog very well. He was also very accommodating with a last moment change in pick up schedule. Our dog had a wonderful time and we will definitely go back in future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stockport on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,895 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stockport. 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 North West 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 .
