“I can highly recommend Ana Maria. She is absolutely wonderful and caring, with loads of doggy cuddles.

We would definitely use Vicky again and highly recommend her! ❤️”

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.
“My boy had a fantastic time. They undated me dally, sending pictures and videos. He settled in very quickly. He loves his Teddy rhat he found there and they kindly let him keep it. Would book again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up with dogs as part of the family. I now have a dog of my own and regularly look after family members’ dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I work from home, which means any dog staying with me will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone. Dogs are treated as part of the family in my home - they’re welcome on the furniture, get lots of attention and affection, and I’ll always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable and at home during their stay. I work from home, so I’m always on hand to give your dog plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day. I offer doggy daycare during the week, perfect for when you’re busy or at work, and I may also have some weekend availability depending on my calendar. Please feel free to message me for more information or to discuss your dog’s needs and routine! 🐾 All dogs are treated as part of the family in our home and are more than welcome on the furniture! I have my own friendly dog, Barney, so your dog will have a companion to play with throughout the day. We have a large, fully fenced garden and plenty of toys to keep them entertained. During the warmer months, the back door is usually kept open so the dogs can freely come in and out and enjoy the garden. In the colder months, I make sure they’re offered regular toilet breaks, usually every hour or so. Most importantly, they’ll get plenty of attention, cuddles and company and will be treated just like one of our own. 🐶❤️
“Hector seems fine after his stay with Charlotte. She managed him well after an incident when he reacted badly towards her. She reassured me and has offered advice on the way forward. Experienced and knowledgeable and hope to use her again”
“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.”
“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! 🐾❤️”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I currently have a cane corso. I am proficient with any size or breed of dog (please no banned breeds) I am passionate about keeping your dog happy healthy and comfortable. I can cater to nearly every desired schedule, wants and needs. The only service I don’t offer is boarding in my own home due to my big boy being young & a tad boisterous. I will follow your instructions to a tee, whatever your dog/dogs wants and needs are, I can facilitate & cater to. Timed medications ? Done, specific feeding schedule, done.
“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!”
About: Hi, I’m Lillian! I’m a genuine dog lover and I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I provide a calm, safe and loving home where your dog will be treated like part of the family. I only accept one owner’s pets at a time, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, care and affection. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. My goal is to make every stay as stress-free as possible for both you and your dog. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.
“I had such a wonderful experience with their dog‑sitting service. Chloe and Sam took amazing care of Scotch. I received regular updates and plenty of adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Scotch looked so happy and relaxed in every picture. Thanks 😊”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Stoke-on-Trent
We honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Our Frenchie Bobbi is incredibly special to us, and in the five years we’ve had him, this was the very first time we had ever left him with anyone. Naturally, we were nervous and worried about how he would settle, but from the moment we left him, we were completely reassured. Bobbi was cared for with so much love, kindness and attention, and it was clear that he was treated as if he were their own. Knowing our precious boy was happy, safe and so well looked after meant absolutely everything to us and allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away without worrying. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our Bobbi. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with you again, and that really is the biggest compliment we could give. ❤️🐾 Absolutely excellent service from start to finish — five stars simply aren’t enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We couldn’t recommend Elena-Adelina enough. She looked after our dogs who are both anxious for 8 nights and made them feel at home immediately. Whilst away we were able to relax in knowing that she had them and they were being looked after by someone who truly understood and cared for their needs. She constantly kept us updated and they settled in really well which is not common for our dogs in a new environment. If anyone is looking for someone to look after their dogs whilst away, Elena is someone we would 100% recommend and we will definitely use her in the future!
Vicky was great! She kept us regularly updated and sent us lots of photos, and communication was excellent throughout. She also came to our home beforehand to meet our dog and spend some time with her, which we really appreciated. Our dog clearly had a lovely time with Vicky, was happy and ate really well during her stay. We felt completely at ease knowing she was being well looked after. We would definitely use Vicky again and highly recommend her! ❤️
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!
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.
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Stoke-on-Trent
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stoke-on-Trent on Rover is £34.27 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,113 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 .
