“Aron and Beth were amazing with Angus and he clearly had a lovely time with them. From going through arrangements beforehand, the updates throughout, and being extra helpful and understanding when I was delayed for pick up Aron was a pleasure to deal with, he and Beth clearly care very much for animals and think they were sad to see Angus go... Angus was also was reluctant to leave! 😂 I wouldn't hesitate to use Aron again in the future!”
“I was very comfortable leaving Mars with Darren. He was great at communicating and made sure to find out about Mars including a meet and greet in his home beforehand. I During the stay I was kept updated daily and returned to a very happy dog. I will definitely keep Darren in mind for future sitting.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, from rabbits and guinea pigs to parrots, cats, dogs, and horses. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. For 17 years, I was lucky enough to have grown up with three Pomeranians who were my little companions. I miss them every day! Because I travel for work, I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own right now, but I still really miss having that special animal companionship in my life. I’m very experienced with the day-to-day care, routines, and companionship dogs need. I’ve also regularly house-sat for friends’ dogs, caring for them in my home and making sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping to each dog’s individual routine. Rover gives me the chance to enjoy all the cuddles, walks, playtime, and personality that comes with having a dog around, while giving you peace of mind that your pet is being cared for by someone who truly loves animals. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own — with patience, affection, and plenty of attention. ❤️ I travel for work seasonally so when I’m not working I have so much time to care for your dog! Can be available sometimes for days/weeks! I have a 4 bedroom home with a fenced garden. Loads of space for your dog to roam and get fresh air, and equally as secure and safe! I go for walks multiple times a day so they’ll be active and entertained!
“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.”
“Flora is highly professional and very caring. I felt very confident leaving our dog with Flora and the family. Flora kept us updated with photos according to our preferences and Jasper was obviously relaxed and happy in the household.”
“Kate and her partner were very accommodating for Marley and our request. Marley was well looked after and came home very worn out. Kate and her partner sent regular updates and made so much effort with Marley getting him toys and printing his picture for us to take home. Marley can’t wait for another holiday with you both xx”
“Sean and Jacy have become out regular dogsitters because they are so great. Very accommodating and flrxible. They seem to genuinely love my dog, which puts my mind at ease. They send me regular updates about what he's up to. My dog runs in to their house now as it's such familiar territory!”
“Toffee, our 12 yr old Golden, stayed with Yevgeniia and Ringo, her own lovely retriever, for four days while we took a short trip away. Toffee had a couple of medical issues that needed dealing with (slight incontinence and a ‘hot spot’) both requiring medication and close management. Yevgeniia has been looking after dogs from a young age, and her experience shows! She was very thorough in managing Toffee’s issues: by the time we picked Toffee up, her wound had greatly healed and she had not required a diaper for the most of the stay. Yevgeniia sent daily photos, videos and updates, including very funny reports on the on - off romance between Toffee and Ringo! Toffee came home her usual happy self, and I was glad she had a ‘home from home’ experience, with the added opportunity to socialise with the very gentle Ringo! I highly recommend Yevgeniia and will would not hesitate to book Toffee with her again, and am already planning to use Yevgeniia’s day care service when required. A very big thank you to Yevgeniia from Toffee and I, for the the diligent care you have shown during her stay!”
About: I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog with someone else, so my priority is always to make them feel settled, loved and completely at home while they’re with me ❤️ I don’t currently have pets of my own as I love travelling and exploring when I get the chance, but I love looking after friends/families doggos as I miss having one around! I work from home so I’m always around for plenty of company, attention and toilet breaks throughout the day. The dogs will be walked twice a day, and I live close to the countryside with plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. The garden is also fenced and secure and available whenever they need! I usually start and end the day with a walk at my local country park or along nearby countryside routes. I then work from home so am always around for company, toilet breaks and anything else needed. At weekends I love getting outdoors, exploring new places and going for walks. If your doggo enjoys car journeys, cafés, pubs or little adventures, I’d be very happy to include them, while always adapting plans to what they’re comfortable with and used to! I live in a 3 bed home over two floors with a fully fenced back garden, so there’s plenty of room for a dog to make themselves at home. The dogs can sleep upstairs in their own beds or I can make the spare room cosy for them. There are a few basics here like food, treats etc. but I’ll always stick to the routine/diet you specify. More than anything, I want them to feel relaxed, included and treated as part of the household while they’re here!
“We found Chris and Caroline very last minute, but they were amazing from the start! They were so friendly, caring, and really went out of their way to accommodate us. They looked after Pixie so well, sending us regular updates, taking her on lovely long walks, and making her feel completely at home. When we picked her up, she was so happy and healthy! Their beautiful home and big garden were a huge plus too. We’ll definitely be using them again whenever we need a dog sitter and couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Really lovely experience using Rover for the first time. From meeting Saadia, she was so lovely and instantly put me at ease. I was quite anxious about leaving Oscar for the first time, but Saadia kept me updated with photos and a video, which was so reassuring and made me feel much happier knowing he was settled and being well looked after. Couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Would definitely recommend and will 100% be using again! ❤️”
“Claire was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Very responsive and she sent constant updates and pictures. Plus she has adorable children and 2 cute dogs. Autumn our Jack Russell had a wonderful time. Thank you Claire!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a very young age. My family and I rescue dogs and cats. I’m caring, reliable, and genuinely passionate about making dogs feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m happy to care for puppies, energetic dogs, and senior pets, including keeping to feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines. I’m also patient with young dogs who are still learning basic manners and training. Above all, I treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I will be the only one caring for any dogs while in my care. As I’m currently not working, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. This means I can be available for walks, visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also able to be flexible around your dog’s usual routine and give them the attention and care they need. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a calm and secure environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of your home and your instructions, and I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and personality. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own.
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.
“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.”
“Charlie and Cooper stayed with Callum for a long weekend and from the initial meeting I had no concerns. My dogs have been thoroughly spoilt whilst we’ve been away and know they have been cared for, I have regular updates, photos and videos and response times to any comms has been immediate. Will absolutely ask Callum to look after them the next time we go away!”
About: **Please message me as the fees are not set and Rover doesn't allow me to change some of them. Every dog and it's needs and its pawrents situations are different so costs can differ!** 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.

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.

From the moment we dropped chopper at Darren’s house we felt at ease This was choppers first time being with a dog sitter and he stayed overnight without any problems and Darren made sure he took photos to put me at ease to show that chopper was happy and settled and I will be contacting Darren everytime I need a dog sitter in the future thank you Darren
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

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Swale
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Swale on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 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 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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
