Daisy loved being looked after Lyudmila, she didn't want to leave. The communication was also nice and prompt. When we need daycare again next time I know who to ask first for someone I can trust. Thank you for all the photos too!

About: I worked at a doggy daycare for 2 years, as a van driver, carer and also dog boarding. Myself and my mum have dog boarded for over 13 years. I have been doing self employed doggy walks/boarding for 5 years now looking after many different breeds and some still come to me from the daycare I used to work. I work from home with my full time job 3 days of the week. Living with my family. I currently work full time. However, I work from home 3 days a week. Working from home means I can be at home with them. I'm in the office Wednesdays and Thursdays, but I am home latest 4:30 to then be with them in the evenings. I have a fenced garden. I have a porch door so no one can run out the front door. The garden is quite big and enough space for them to run around. I also have a park over the road if they are not good in cars.

About: Hi, I'm Angela! I live in a three-adult household of dog lovers with no children. We don’t have any other pets but have previously owned a Shih Tzu and a Golden Retriever who were both happy and healthy and lived to 17 and 14 years respectively so your dogs will be in great care. I am also physically active and will have no issues getting them the exercise and training they will need. I live in a privately owned flat in Sutton, with easy access to multiple green spaces and which is a 15-minute walk to a 24-hour vet. Your dog and their needs will fit seamlessly right into my routine. I'm a recent Masters graduate from UCL and currently on the hunt for a permanent job. This means I have a lot of time on my hands to spend looking after your dogs and giving them all the love, attention, and play time they deserve including weekdays and weekends. I am an active individual and typically start every other day with a run (or walk) around the neighbourhood which I would love to have your dog be a part of depending on their physical ability. I am also hoping to ease back into hiking and would be more than happy to have your dog with me if appropriate, and of course with all the necessary care being taken. The rest of my days are typically spent at home cooking and job searching, and in my spare time, having a quiet day in, leaving me available to spend time around your dog. If I do go out, it's just down the high street and around the area or to the city, which if appropriate, could involve your dog by my side! I believe a routine is incredibly important for all dogs and will take the utmost care sticking to the routine you have established with your dogs (e.g., meal and potty schedule, play time, down time, etc.) I live in a 3-adult household with no children and no other pets, but have cared for a puppy briefly so the flat is puppy (and dog) proof. I have some prior experience crate training a 3 month old puppy and so should have no problem introducing or enforcing this with your dog for longer or recurring stays. I can also work on other basic training with your dog (e.g., sit, stay, lie down, paw, drop/leave it, etc.) While I do live in a spacious flat, I have no private garden. However, I am surrounded by dog friendly green spaces, with the nearest park being less than a 5-minute walk away. In case of any emergencies, the nearest 24-hour vet is only a 14-minute walk/3-minute Uber from me.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with cats and have regularly looked after friends’ dogs and cats, as well as feeding and checking in on my neighbours’ cats while they’ve been away. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I always take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own, giving them lots of love and attention. I work from home, which means I can give pets plenty of company, attention and regular toilet breaks throughout the day. I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to fit pet care around my day. Whether your pet needs feeding, fresh water, walks, litter tray cleaning, medication (if required), or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work around their usual routine Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, and stick to your pet’s usual routine to help them feel settled while you’re away. Every pet is different, so I’ll adapt my care to suit their personality and needs.

I currently work from home 4 days a week with a very flexible schedule, allowing me plenty of time to care for your dog, play, and cuddle throughout the day. I’m also happy to dog sit overnight, and your dog is more than welcome to sleep in the bed! live in a flat with direct access to a secure, private, and fenced garden, offering a safe and enjoyable space for your pet to explore and relax. Inside, your pet is welcome to roam freely and make themselves at home—no furniture or bed is off-limits. If preferred, I can also set up a cozy, designated spot with their special bed or blanket to ensure maximum comfort and familiarity.

About: I have loved dogs and cats all my life. When i was little I wanted to become a vet so I can be closer to them, groom them, make them better, etc. I always adored washing them, brushing them, etc. But most importantly sleeping with them. I lived in a flat without any pets for a short period of time and it felt so "not home". I come from a family where we always had animals around and they were valued family members. Life had different plans and I didn't become a vet, but a nurse. And I have been looking after people for the past decade. But that doesn't mean cats and dogs are no longer my passion. They are my biggest hobby and my favourite therapy. All my friends count on me when it comes about pet sitting. I also got 2 cats of my own which I adore and that could not live without. I have a hybrid job, with at least one day from home weekly, sometimes two. I also have all weekends off. I am crazy about doggy day care but boarding too. I can also do local visits, both cats and dogs. I have a fenced garden. A spacious house. Two very low energy cats who like living in their own space. They don t like other cats in their environment but they accept dogs. If needed they can be separated as the house is on 2 levels

I was a bit worried leaving Kasper for the first time, as he is only 6 month old, but Sarah was so lovely and I could see that she would take great care of him. She took her time to talk through any special requirements and it was clear that she really wants get to know him well before our holiday later in the summer.

About: I'm experienced in walking, playing, training, cleaning, and taking care of every kind of dog (all ages and sizes). I have a lot of experience with puppies, senior, needy, and nervous dogs too. I volunteered for dogs in my hometown dog pound since I was 14. I live with my husband, and we don't have children or pets. In case your dog doesn't like to be around children or other pets - they would feel very comfortable and safe at ours. I'm also available for boarding any time of the week if your pup is most comfortable at home. I currently work from home full-time. My work schedule is flexible and can be easily tailored to fit your dog's needs. Lots of walks and playtime as I can take as many breaks during my workday as needed. I live in a house, so noisy dogs are not a problem for us at all. We have a fenced garden and there's a vast recreational ground right near my house where I can take a dog for a potty break during the day. Daily longer walks in the nearby parks - Morden or Beddington.

Cydney looked after our two 13 week old puppies Barney & Simba as we had a family bbq and I was worried keeping the pups at home with so many people there! Cyd was amazing. I was so nervous letting my precious new babies out of my sight for the first time but they had a fantastic day with Cyd & her family. Both boys came home so tired from a fun filled day of playing and went straight to sleep. I will definitely be using Cydney for all future doggy daycare dates going forward! Thanks for the best day - Love Barney & Simba xxx

We couldn't be happier with Otto's first experience at doggy day care. Georgina was incredibly caring, knowledgeable, and made Otto feel welcome from the moment he arrived. Throughout the day, Georgina sent us lots of lovely photos and updates, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Otto had an amazing time socialising and playing, and he came home happy and very tired! Knowing that Otto was being looked after so well made the whole experience stress-free for us.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Sutton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sutton on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 17,319 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Sutton. About 87% of Sutton 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 Sutton 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 Greater London 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.
