“We would highly recommend Flora! She looked after our 5 month old puppy brilliantly for his first night away! She was very friendly, extremely trustworthy and kept us updated with lots of pictures throughout - we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Can’t recommend Darren more highly. We arranged to meet a week before Watson’s stay with him and I knew then that Watson would be very well looked after. Darren sent regular updates, photos & videos so we knew Watson was settled & happy. I will definitely be trying to book Darren again for future trips!”
“Romina was amazing! If I could put more than 5 stars I would. Romina was so flexible with me with the dates and times as I was due to move and needed someone to look after my German Shepherd. My dog is nervous due to being a rescue and usually takes a while to warm up to someone but as soon as Romina welcomed us into their home, it was like she had been there already! Drop off was a smooth process although my dog knew I was leaving this time so got a bit anxious, but within 30mins I got a message and photo showing me how at ease and happy she was. Romina kept me updated with messages and photos during the duration which kept my mind at ease. Could not have wished for a better dog sitter for my Luna! All positives so thank you Romina!”
“This was Jammy's and Boo's second stay with Sean and his family. I was a bit worried about leaving Boo as he hadn't been very well but Sean was a star and gave both dogs the best care I could have hoped for. The photos that Sean sent me showed them looking relaxed and happy. I'm am very lucky to have found Sean.”
“We will definitely use Yevgeniia again. She sent a photo shortly after we dropped Jimmy off and he was relaxed and snoozing. She sent photo updates throughout Jimmy’s stay and answered any questions about arrangements quickly. Her dog is a placid gentle soul and he and Jimmy got along well.”
“We were worried about leaving Henley, but could see by the photos and updates that he was having a good time. He is quite a sensitive boy, he soon relaxed with Chris and Caroline, he even slept on their bed. We will definitely ask them to have him again.”
“Claire was absolutely amazing! She loved Coles like he was her own, arranged a meet before boarding to acclimatise her dogs with Coles before the booking. She sent pictures of them all on their walks, even one of Coles tucked up in bed. Would recommend unreservedly! Thank you Claire x x x”
“Very good & very reliable, had no worries of leaving Larry with Aiva, there was a genuine love for animals from the whole family, Aiva kept us updated with videos & photos of Larry which was lovely to receive, Larry had a lovely time & was a very happy boy, would definitely recommend.”
About: I am from the north east of England where I live in a small town surrounded by countryside (before spending 16 years in London and moving to Kent in 2020). I love animals, in particular dogs. From when I was born I grew up around cats and dogs we had in the family, rabbits too and other animals on my aunties farm horses, cows, sheep and chickens. My auntie was also a dog trainer and attended crufts. I work in Mental Health and animals are a huge part of the family. They also help to reduce any stress, live in the moment and make us smile. I also have a pet first aid qualification. I am mainly available Friday (8am) to Sunday (10pm) for day care and/or over night. Depending on the time of the year and my work I may be available for other days/longer stays. My home is firstly my dogs home. He is allowed on the sofa and has access to a secure garden. There are no dangerous wires or objects which could cause injury.
About: I have over two years of experience providing reliable and caring dog sitting and dog walking services. As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of ensuring every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. During this time, I have looked after dogs for friends, family, and a range of other clients, giving me experience with different breeds, personalities, and routines. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I always make each dog’s wellbeing my top priority. I take pride in being trustworthy, responsible, and treating every pet as if they were my own. I have just finished full time education and want this to be my full time job. Therefore i am fully flexible and can provide my care any day at any hour! I have a large fenced garden with a lot of space for your furry friend to run around. I have a dog myself, she is lovely and very friendly. I have a huge field opposite me for good walks.
About: I’ve had two dogs of my own over the past 20 years, and have cared for them through every stage of life — from energetic puppies to elderly dogs needing extra patience and care. This hands-on experience has helped me understand different temperaments, routines, and individual needs. I’m also dog first aid qualified, giving extra reassurance that your pet will be in safe and capable hands. I’ll always treat your dog like one of my own, making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am fully available to spend 24/7 catering to your doggos needs. Your dog will be played with to their hearts desire, have lovely walks, constant fresh water, a couple of cheeky little treats, and as many photos and videos of your fur-baby as you like throughout the day. Pets in my care will be treated like part of the family in a safe, relaxed, and loving environment. I live in a static caravan with a secure, decent-sized decking area where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and choose to come and go freely while supervised. I also have a grass area for toilet breaks and playtime, along with plenty of lovely walks surrounding me, perfect for keeping dogs happy, exercised, and mentally stimulated. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for, whether in my home or in the owner’s home following their usual routine.

“Lucy & Chris are the best dog sitters. Initial communication was great and they were happy to come out to do a meet and great with our dogs beforehand. During their stay we were kept updated with pics and messages. Would highly recommend. Stanley & Pumpkin will definitely be returning.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have a Golden Retriever called Leo, so I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life, from puppies and adolescent dogs to senior dogs. Through attending training classes with Leo, I’ve learned positive training techniques and am happy to continue any training or routines you’re already working on with your dog. I understand that every dog is different and will always follow their individual needs, routines, and preferences. Most importantly, I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while in my care. I work from home, so I'm around during the day and can be flexible to fit around your dog's routine. I have a garden and walk my Golden Retriever, Leo, in the morning, on my lunch break, and again in the evening. Whether your dog enjoys lots of exercise or prefers a quieter pace, I'm happy to work around their needs. We have a secure garden, with a fence. A baby gate, a crate too, so dogs can be separated to make sure they get enough sleep throughout the day. We have a friendly dog called Leo, who knows when to play and when to settle.

Romina was absolutely wonderful with Crumble, we are so grateful that she was looked after by somebody so warm and lovely on her first ever stay away from home. Thank you for the regular updates so we could see all of her adventures with Buddy! Would definitely recommend Romina, and would love to book you again when Crumble needs looking after! 💛
Aiva is absolutely wonderful. Although I had a very difficult time with both drop-off and pick-up, she was incredibly understanding and accommodating. She regularly sent me photos and videos of my puppy, which gave me peace of mind and showed me that he was having a great time. Her children are also very kind and clearly love animals—they were so gentle and caring with my puppy. I would 100% recommend Aiva to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! Thank you Aiva , your are star x

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Swale on Rover is £34.5 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 2,480 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Swale. 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 South East 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.
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.
