“This was our first time using 'Rover' and it went really well. We are very happy to recommend Colin, who looked after Kiki for us while we were at a wedding in the area. As soon as we arrived, we could tell that Kiki was going to be looked after really well. Thank you Colin! Much appreciated.”
“Monica had Milo for the day, ahead of looking after him when we have our holiday. Milo had a great time with lots of attention, play time and walks. We can 100% recommend Monica and feel totally happy that Milo will receive all the care and love he enjoys.”
“Thank you so much for making my boys totally at ease. I recommend Sarah 100%, without hesitation, for anyone who wants the best doggy daycare 😁 I collected two very happy doggies after their day with Sarah. Brilliant space for them to run about … no negatives - only positives x”
“Thanks so much to Christian and Sarah for taking such good care of our lovely young dog Bryn. Bryn who we have adopted recently is still quite hyper and also prone to pushing limits and it was great to know he was in safe confident hands. Will certainly hope that he can come back again soon. Thanks!”
“Dougie had a great time with Frances. He came home very content and sleepy so I’m sure he had a great day. Frances was amazing with communication as well - won’t hesitate to use again!”
“Kezia looked after my 14 week old cockapoo puppy today. It was a big step to leave him for the first time, but Kezia and her partner were really lovely, helpful and accommodating from the initial 'meet & greet' a few weeks ago though to the drop off and collection today. Kezia provided pics and updates during the booking which reassured me that Ben was having a great time. I intend to use Kezia again, I have no hesitation in recommending her to others. She was simply brilliant. Thank you so much! Clive”
“Thank you for excellent puppy day care for Snoopy! She must have had a fun day as she was very calm and sleepy all evening. Plenty of videos and pictures as well to see what she has been up to. She will be excited to come back next week 🐶”
About: Grown up with a range of different dogs and have owned different types of animals including cats dogs tortoise fish and rabbits. Currently own no pets but do look after family and friends animals occasionally and have experience giving medication to both cats and dogs including tablets and daily injections. I can offer both drop in visits and boarding while off work. I can offer daily exercise to pets around the local area. I'm currently working full time 4 on 4 off. during my days off in available anytime day or night. While working I'm available before and after I have fully fenced in garden and live close by to fields and parks for short/long walks for dogs. Plenty of space inside for them to be comfortable in.
About: Must be child friendly 💜 One of my favourite things to do when taking care of dogs is taking them on days out and visiting different dog friendly places with them - if that’s also their thing! We love to go on a lot of walks, staying active and stimulated. We also have a cemetery moments away which is popular to us dog walkers for all types of dog personalities due to the lead only rule - great for those that prefer to be on a walk uninterrupted. I know that some dogs do struggle with separation anxiety which is why one of my strategies is to take them out on a walk almost immediately after a drop off as it rather quickly settles them and helps them to form a bond and trust with me. They will receive lots of love, attention and play - your dog’s happiness will be my top priority. I believe that I am not providing just a care for your companions but also in a way, their owners too. You will receive lots of photos and updates throughout their stay, that is something extremely important to me to provide for you as I know how at ease it’ll make you feel whilst you’re away from your pets and I will want to make sure you can enjoy your time away with all the reassurance you need! - I lock in prices so if my fees are to go up in the future they will always remain at the original price for you. I work early during the day whilst my partner works during the night, there will always be someone here at the house for your dog! I will like to know your routine to keep it as similar as it is when they’re at home I can. We will love for you to bring their home comforts.
About: Life long dog owner. Very comfortable with both Small and large dogs. Countryside environment with exercise paddock as well as walking. Mature dog experience and experience with simple medication. I currently have no dog right now so can provide single dog care for a dog that does not wish to compete for company! I like to keep numbers small on purpose. Good fit for friendly dogs that enjoy outside space, dogs from the same household, dogs happy to walk on lead or recall if in paddock. Good for fit bouncy dogs as well as older placid friends. I prefer to meet dogs before their first stay and ask owners to provide food and any medication. Happy if you wish to provide a favourite bed for overnight dogs. I work to my own flexible schedule so can build it around dogs needs rather than dogs needing to fit around me. Despite always be a dog family we currently have no family dog so I am very flexible. I live in a country location with fenced areas to exercise in. I walk at least 3 miles a day even with no dog so there is plenty of opportunity for short or long country walks depending on needs, age, size, type.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, having a dog throughout my childhood into my teenage years and then walking, feeding and looking after friends and family’s pets since. I frequently petsit for a 1 year old and 13 year old dog so am comfortable looking after pets of all ages and care needs. I am currently working part time - roughly three 8 hour shifts a week. I get shift allocations 1-2 weeks in advance so can’t always let you know my pattern far in advance but always have plenty of time to devote to your pets:) I have an hectare of part fenced garden surrounded by open land and woodland, the perfect place for long walks and plenty for your pet to explore whilst staying safe and under supervision. I am happy to follow any guidance on how you’re comfortable for me to look after your pet, whether this is in you’re own home or mine!
“Thank you Milly for taking care of our furbabies for doggie day care for the first time. Milly gave great direction for home stay and the car park. Brilliant communication throughout the process. Giving excellent update, activities and photos.”
About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover with hands-on experience looking after dogs. I have my own 3-year-old Cavapoo called Archie, so I have plenty of experience with day-to-day care, walks, feeding, playtime and training. I’ve also helped look after friends’ dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines and needs. I understand how important it is to know your dog is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away, and I’ll always treat them with the same love and attention I give Archie. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to give pets attention, walks, playtime and company. I can care for dogs at my home or stay at the owner’s home, depending on what works best. If I’m staying at the owner’s home, Archie would need to come with me as he is my own dog and is very friendly. I always put a pet’s safety and wellbeing first. I have a completely fenced and secure garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. Archie is friendly and is used to roaming freely around the house, but I also have a stair gate and a crate available if either dog needs some extra space, separation or a quiet place to settle. When caring for a pet in their own home, I would follow their usual routine and make sure they feel comfortable and secure in familiar surroundings. I’m respectful of people’s homes and understand how important it is to build trust with both the owner and their pet.
About: I work from home and live with my little 3 year old Labrador. I’ve looked after many dogs previously and quite often end up with my families dogs coming to stay as well. I’m up and out by 7ish with my Labrador, and she gets 3 good walks a day, either at the park or the beach or longer on a weekend when we can go exploring I have a fenced garden with grass and patio, my dog is very friendly and sociable so will play nicely along with others. I work from home so plenty of toilet breaks and multiple cuddles during the day
About: I've been looking after dogs for the last 20 years. Very responsible and dedicated dog sitter and walker. Will treat your dog like my own I provide reliable, in-home pet care and dog walking services right here in Felixstowe. Because I work from home, your furry friends will receive constant companionship and personalized attention without the stress of being left alone.

Since I am an avid walker, I am more than happy to take your furry friend on long, invigorating walks during their stay

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Suffolk Coastal
Chelsea took our spaniel for day care at very short notice. She is very competent sitter and a lovely lady. She had plans for introducing our dog to her own dog as they hadn't met before (or to keep them separate if necessary), and for managing the hot weather. She was very reassuring, and I felt she would navigate any potential crisis calmly. Throughly recommend.

There are 417 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Suffolk Coastal. About 87% of Suffolk Coastal 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 Suffolk Coastal 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.
