“Simona made our dog sitting experience very straightforward. She made sure we had the opportunity to meet before Myst actually stayed. We were sent a few updates during Myst's stay. Myst seemed very relaxed when we picked her up.”
“Maria and her children looked after Dexter for 3 nights whilst I was away on holiday. Dexter was upset on the first night and Marie’s comforted him to make sure he settled in quickly. Her children were great with him too and I received updates during his stay. Thanks for looking after him so well”
“Alison is a lovely lady and along with Alan they both obviously love dogs. They sent photos during Rinka's stay, showing her out on walks and snuggled up on the sofa. They were very easy to communicate with. I will definitely be booking Alison again.”

“Jaine and Marllon were amazing with our Melody! She stayed with them overnight and was so well looked after. They kept us updated with photos, videos, and messages, which made us feel totally at ease. It was clear she felt right at home, had fun and attention! They’re super sweet, caring, and responsible — we’ll definitely leave Melody with them again and totally recommend them!”

“Cloud is a very clever dog and I am quite sure he knew where we were heading on the train. The train dorrs opened and he almost leapt into Jo's arms he was so pleased to see her. I think Jo was rather pleased to see him too! Absolutely no qualms about leaving Cloud with Jo - in fact I've just requested another stay.”
“Can I firstly just say Jessica and her family are amazing 💞!! We left our little Patterdale Noodles 🐕with Jessica for 5 days, she agreed to have her at very short notice and was absolutely brilliant with her. We had never left Noodles with anyone other than family before so we're a little worried, but I can say she was truly amazing with her, she set my mind at reat as soon as I met her and when we saw her whole families true love for dogs, we knew she was a perfect match for us and Noodles. We had absolutely nothing to be worried about. Jessica sent me pictures/videos daily and updates on what she was doing, how she was, and she was always there if I just wanted to check in on Noodles. She was so happy and playful when we picked her up so I know so was in excellent hands and was looked after like one of Jessica's family. I will definitely be sending Noodles there again as she loved her time with Jessica and her beautiful family and I would highly recommend anyone to let her look after their little treasures. Thank you so much Jessica, you and your family are gorgeous and an extra special 😘😘😘🐾🐾🐾 from Noodles who misses you all lots already xxxxx”
About: I have most weekends available for boarding at my home. I have a dog of my own who is very very friendly and gets on with all dogs she meets. She loves to play and she will share her toys!! Due to her not being neutered I do not accept male dogs at the moment. I would love to take care of your dog in my home, perhaps you need a weekend break. I have a genuine passion for dogs and there will be lots of love, care and treats available. I do not drive so your pet would need to be dropped off and picked up at agreed times :) I work during the week and have my own little sweetheart, 🐾 I am available at weekends and some Friday nights can be agreed also with notice. I have a small terraced house with small secure garden for toileting. I am happy to walk your dog at the local church/park a few mins down the road where there is plentiful grass and space to roam.
“Jessica was absolutely brilliant with our dog Ben! She looked after him overnight for us the night before our wedding, which gave us one less thing to worry about during such a busy and important time. She was so caring and went above and beyond by even bathing Ben for us! He came back happy, clean and clearly very well looked after. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to look after him, and we would definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much! 🐾❤️”

“Hayley looked after our border collie, Bella for 11 days while we were on holiday. From the initial contact she replied to messages quickly was friendly and accommodatiing to any requests and after the "meet and greet" I had no concerns about Bella being well looked after. Hayley sent us regular messages and photos to show Bella was living her best life! I would have no hesitation in recommending Hayley to anyone and would entrust our dog with Hayley again in the future. Thank you for giving us the peace of mind that Bella was ok so we could enjoy our break.”
“Pep had a great stay with Jasmine. They made him feel very welcome and it was great to receive lots of photos so we had peace of mind. Jasmine was very responsive in advance of the stay, checking to see if there were any particular requirements for Pep. Would definitely recommend!”
“We used Lauren for 2 night's boarding and would highly recommend, Lauren and her Husband are enthusiastic dog loving people and this made our trip more relaxing knowing Rolo was in safe hands. First time using this platform and communication from Lauren has been great, Lauren will definitely be our go to for Rolo.”
“Colette and Rich were both brilliant. I could relax during my holiday knowing that Sienna was well looked after. Had numerous updates and pictures for peace of mind. I'll 100% be using them both again in the future if they can put up with Siennas energy again. Thank you both so much”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very young. I have 3 dogs currently (staffy, Labrador and husky cross collie) and I take them on multiple walks daily. I also trained them from when they were puppies. As well as that, I used to pet sit my families golden retriever puppies and their cats as well. I also have 2 cats and I know my way around them. I am currently working full time, however I am available Mondays and Tuesdays at any time. My schedule changes every week but your dogs will get the exercise they require. I won’t be able to take your dogs into my home, due to not having sufficient space in the house or garden. However, I will be able to take them for long walks.
About: Recently had two very active dogs who sadly passed away. Lovely countryside walks to take dogs on down quiet lanes. Always had pets since a very young age, so love looking after animals. I currently work from home so I can take frequent breaks to take care of your pets needs whenever necessary and will always have an caring eye on them. typically walk dogs once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once before bed. I have a large garden in the countryside for pets to roam around in. The garden is lined with walls and fences so dogs can't escape. Located in the countryside on a quiet lane with lots of nice walks on the doorstep.
“Sofie looked after our Cyril for two nights and we don't think he was ready to leave! He must have had a great time. Her regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. Would highly recommend.”

Helena was absolutely wonderful with our dog during his week-long stay. He had a fantastic time and looked so happy, relaxed, and comfortable with her. He was unwell at the time and needed medication, and Helena handled everything with such care and attention. She kept me regularly updated, reassured me that he was doing well, and gave me complete peace of mind throughout his stay. Helena has such a lovely, caring attitude, and it was clear that our dog felt completely at home with her. We are so grateful for the wonderful care she gave him and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter!
Simona was brilliant with our Lyla. We went to a festival for the weekend and Simona looked after our springerpoodle. Simona was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We felt really safe leaving Lyla with her. We will definitely use Simona again when we next go away. Thabk you
Amazing dog sitter! They kept me updated with photos and messages throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Our two dogs (21 months and 5 months old) stayed with Anca-Andreea at very short notice when our plans for holiday cover fell through due to unforseen work commitments. We found her to be very good at communicating and she was kind and gentle with the dogs, who clearly bonded with her. We felt confident they were safe and well cared for and she met their needs so we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. Thank you Anca!
Elena was able to offer boarding just one week prior to our holiday after we were let down by a family member. Bandit is a rescue, and so we were incredibly nervous about leaving him for a full week, however, Elena was nothing short of incredible. From the initial enquiry, she was warm, pleasant and clearly cared a lot about caring for animals. For the full week we had daily updates, pictures, videos and reassurance that our dog was happy. So happy infact, he didn’t want to come home and ran straight back to Elena when we tried to load him in the car at pick-up. 5 stars is truly not enough and we will 1000% be using Elena again. Thank you for everything!!!!
Eleni was amazing with our dog! She handled him so well and showed him love and care. He’s a Akita x Malamute and we were careful when booking a sitter as we wanted to ensure we got someone who knew and could handle big dogs - Eleni was that person! She sent regular updates and photos and was super responsive! Sam will be back to have another holiday with Eleni!
Jessica’s communication and flexibility was very much appreciated due to a family emergency I was quite stressed but she put me at ease. She provided a daily update and a video to let me know that Nelly was doing well which again allowed me to focus my time on my family. I am grateful to you and your family. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stoke-on-Trent on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,087 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stoke-on-Trent. 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 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.
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 .
