Dog Boarding Swale

“First time using Darren to dog sit Jack over night. Very impressed and felt at ease with Darren and his family on greeting during and on collection. Received updates during the stay as well, highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Will be using Darren again. Thank you again!”

“We left our greyhound Dolly with Sean for four nights and we couldn’t be happier with how it went. Sean lives in a quiet countryside location with a big garden, which makes a great place to have a dog. Dolly was very comfortable and enjoyed her walks, and we got regular updates from Sean. We will definitely use Sean again.”

“Yevgeniia took great care of Toby and was supportive with his needs and made him feel relaxed and settled whilst we were at work. With a lot of knowledge of dog behaviours, I would feel confident in Toby staying again and would recommend. Thank you for your support :)”

“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.”

“Romina is an absolutely lovely person, so smiley and friendly and completely set my dog and myself at ease. My rescue dog Emmy stayed with her and her husband and dog Buddy for three nights and was so well looked after. Emmy was a little nervous about going for a walk at first and Romina was very sensitive about this and handled it very well - by day two Emmy was walking happily and enjoying cuddles and belly rubs! I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Romina to look after Emmy again and would recommend her to any fellow Rover users without hesitation.”

About: I am a genuine dog lover and a pet parent myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, kind and patient to look after your pets. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs day to day, including feeding routines, walks, toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles, basic grooming care and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I currently care for my own dogs, including a larger energetic dog and a smaller companion dog, so I am comfortable with different sizes, temperaments and routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, likes, dislikes and boundaries, and I always try to follow the owner’s instructions closely. What sets me apart is that I treat pets like family. I am patient, gentle and attentive, and I will make sure your dog receives plenty of care, affection and reassurance while you are away. I can help with regular walks, feeding, playtime, companionship and keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I am also happy to provide updates, photos and messages so you feel reassured while your pet is with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I already care for my own dogs every day. I am used to regular feeding times, morning and evening walks, toilet breaks, playtime and keeping dogs settled throughout the day. I have a flexible routine, so I can plan walks, visits or care around each pet’s normal schedule. I understand that consistency is important for pets, so I always try to follow the owner’s instructions closely and keep their routine as familiar as possible. I care for pets with patience, attention and respect for their individual needs. Whether I am looking after a pet in my home or in the owner’s home, I make sure they feel safe, calm and comfortable. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medication if required, toilet routines, sleeping arrangements and any house rules. I keep pets supervised, avoid unsafe situations, and take care when opening doors, walking near roads or introducing them to unfamiliar places. In my home, pets will be treated like family in a clean, caring and comfortable environment. I also understand that some pets may feel nervous when away from their owners, so I give them time, reassurance and gentle attention. I am happy to send regular updates and photos so owners feel confident that their pet is safe and well cared for.

“Bill was absolutely brilliant with our Tilly. He went above and beyond to make her comfortable, especially during the hot weather. He gave us regular updates, and took her for lots of walks. We would highly recommend and use him again! Five stars! 🌟”

“Our Cleo had the best stay in such a loving home! We had regular updates throughout her stay and felt confident Cleo was in a comfortable home! 100% recommended!”

About: Hi, Our names are Lucy and Chris. We are a couple in our 20s and have recently bought our first house together. Lucy has grown up with a Cocker Spaniel called Lottie who is 10 this year and since moving out we have noticed a doggy shaped hole in our lives! Lottie stays at ours occasionally and we have also had the pleasure of caring for a few of our friend’s dogs but would love the chance to meet some new doggy pals! 🐾 We enjoy cuddles with dogs on the sofa and love a walk! Getting out in the fresh air and being in nature is something we both enjoy so will do our best to incorporate some fun and long walks into your dog’s stay with us. 🍃 Our jobs mean that one of us can always be working from home in the week to provide doggy daycare services and boarding services from our home. We are also around on weekends but request two weeks notice for any weekend bookings! If a dog is arriving in the week we kindly ask that they are dropped off in either the morning (before 9am) or after 4pm. We have a secure, fenced in garden with grass which dogs can run around in. We live in a quiet close so there isn’t much traffic noise or many loud noises to unsettle pets. We like to be cosy and will invite dog visitors to have cuddles with us on the sofa (if the owner is comfortable with them going onto furniture) We work from home and are able to let dog visitors out for frequent toilet breaks and provide regular water refills. We understand dogs have different dietary needs and are happy to accommodate this so they can have a comfy stay. We have a few dog toys for our dog visitors to play with but if dogs have certain toys they love please bring them along and we will incorporate these into playtime! We not only want to build trust with our dog visitors but also owners. We understand that different owners will have different rules for pets at home. We will do our best to continue any good training / behaviours you are teaching your pets. We do not tolerate or use unkind behaviour towards animals.

About: A work from home companion for your dog. I have had dogs for over 10 years now, with experience of different sizes and breeds! Alongside this, I have experience admitting medication. I have 2 loveable fluff balls, Henry (Labradoodle) and Winnie (Golden retriever). They love adventures of all kinds, whether this be exploring in the woods just over the road from the house, swimming in the sea or a charge about in a private field. Alongside the beautiful doggy’s I live with my partner Ant (who works in London) and young daughter. Ant occasionally joins us on walks but all dog care would be undertaken by myself. Your dog would be treated exactly the same, a home from home with cuddles on the sofa and a large garden for playtime. I work from home full time so your dog will have constant access to outdoor space. Weekends revolve around the dogs, trips to the park etc. The longest your dog would be left is 2 hours. Alternatively, if they are happy in places like town, we are also happy to take them with us when we go for coffee. I have a large fenced garden and 2 fur babies for your dog to play with. Alongside walks at the field, we regularly go to private fields for a run off leash. If you prefer your dog to be crated at night, also absolutely fine!

“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”

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.

“Jack and his family were so nice sending photos and updates to us. Our dog was really happy with them. We were nervous about leaving her but she had a great time.”

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.

“Holly was amazing with Brinkley and he clearly had a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend and hope we get to have her sit for Brinks again.”

“Emily was just so friendly, kind and flexible, with such short notice she had Tilly overnight. Emily was so gentle with Tilly. Emily gave me updates and all was well. When I picked Tilly up she was all ready to go and I think Emily waa a little sad to see her go, we will definitely be using Emily again. Tilly certainly had a fab time.”
