“Yan and her husband were amazing and most accommodating--they came and picked up Campbell and were very patient with her when she didn't exactly want to go! And then they brought her back to the pub where we were after the play. Great great experience! Will use them again--which is much higher of a compliment than anything we can say in a review!”
“Absolutely superb care for our dog, who came back with a spring in her step after a week with Megan. Megan has lots of open space to explore safely, in a lovely area. She helpfully accommodated a necessary last-minute change and is approachable and friendly. Can't recommend her enough.”
“I booked Chloe at short notice after another arrangement fell through, and from her first message I knew Yoji would be in safe hands as she asked all the right questions. I received regular photos and videos, and came home to a very happy, tired pup. I’d happily book with Chloe again.”
“5 stars++. We didn’t have time for a proper meet and greet, but Ka Lam immediately put us at ease. She clearly cared about Madi from the start and treated her like her own. We got regular updates showing Madi out on walks, playing, eating well, or doing little sniffing games indoors when it rained. It was obvious she was happy and comfortable the entire time. Madi came home cheerful and calm — we couldn’t have asked for better care. Thank you, Ka Lam!”
“Jenny and Pascal looked after Winnie on her first time away from us. They were very kind and sent us lots of photos and comments which put our minds at rest. Thanks a lot - we would definitely recommend them.”
“This was only the 2nd time of leaving Bella so I was very apprehensive but after an initial meet and greet I felt sure she would be OK. As soon as I asked, I got pictures and reassurance that everything was fine which meant that I relaxed and enjoyed my holiday. On picking her up, although she was pleased to see us, she also had time for Lisa which showed a bond made in such a short time. I will be using Lisa from now on, if she'll have us :-) and would totally recommend her.”
“Lara was absolutely amazing with Olive and Bailey. They both are full of energy and Lara made sure they get enough of exercise. We also received regular updates with photos and videos. I could see they both were well looked after and happy. I highly recommend Lara and would love if she looked after Olive and Bailey again.”
“Deborah is fantastic! We loved how she would send us pictures and updates frequently letting us know how our dog was doing during the stay. Knowing our dog was being watched by someone who is so kind and attentive gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our time away. Our dog can also be a bit stubborn, but Deborah was extremely patient and was absolutely the best dog sitter we’ve ever experienced.”
“Winnie had a great time with Martine and Alex! They kept us updated with photos and videos which kept my mind at ease. And we’re super accommodating! Already rebooked them for next month!”
About: I have grown up with pets and we had our own lovely little housecat Saffy for fourteen years, and now have had our gorgeous cockapoo Pip for six years. I also have a ten year old daughter and a four year old son. Our house is perfect for a dog looking for lots of cuddles and attention - we have lots of space and a large secure garden. We are also lucky enough to have a fabulous private walk on our doorstep. I am here 24/7 to look after everyone. This also means that I can keep to your dog’s preferred schedule (if there is one!). I have a large secure garden to run around in and love going for walks on the farm next door. Our dog Pip is a lovely, excitable Cockapoo who loves to play and run around but is equally as happy cuddling on the sofa while we watch a film. He has been neutered.
“Phoebe had such a lovely time with Imogen. She loved spending time with Imogen’s two friendly dogs, and the overall environment of her home was safe and friendly. I would highly recommend Imogen, and will look to use her again when needed!”

Willow spent a lovely weekend with Deborah and Paul, who kept her safe and comfortable during the heatwave. Willow loved spending time with Deborah’s two dogs and they all got along really well. I always have complete faith that Willow is in safe and competent hands with Deborah. Thank you.
Yan and her husband were amazing and most accommodating--they came and picked up Campbell and were very patient with her when she didn't exactly want to go! And then they brought her back to the pub where we were after the play. Great great experience! Will use them again--which is much higher of a compliment than anything we can say in a review!
I can’t recommend Emma highly enough, this was my dog Winston’s second stay with her and it was so lovely she see how keen he was to go into her house. Emma was great at keeping us updated with lots of lovely photos and videos which all showed that Winston was calm and happy. It was so nice being able to go away without worrying about whether Winston was happy and taken care of, thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stratford-on-Avon on Rover is £36.8 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 .

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 .
