“Romina lives very close to me so that is a huge bonus. We had an initial meet up mostly to see if our dogs would get on. Sparky(mine) & Buddy (hers) were shall I say a work in progress!! Today I left Sparky at Romina’s home for 3 hours and I am delighted to say all went well. Romina is patient and kind and has a good empathy with dogs she sent me photos which were reassuring as Sparky can be a tad anxious. I’m really happy and have now booked a further 5 sittings. The booking system is a little bit difficult to navigate especially if you are making multiple bookings but hopefully it’s going to work out For us☺️🐾”

“Kate was incredibly attentive and gave my dog her full care and attention. She came home happily exhausted after lots of walks and great mental stimulation. Kate was very responsive, well-organised, and accommodating to my needs throughout. I felt my dog was in very safe, capable hands.”


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!

About: We have always loved looking after pets of all different ages. We have looked after multiple dogs at a time of all shapes and sizes. Aron works full time from home. We are mostly in at weekends but love an excuse like a dog to get us out for walks. We have a fenced off long garden. Your fur baby will have free reign of the house and furniture so they can find a comfortable spot to relax

About: I have a dog of our own he is a rescue so has needed a lot of time and patience of which myself and I have plenty of. He is great with other dogs so if needed I could look to board a dog however happy to do drop ins or daycare if needed please just check availability. I also grew up with dogs so am very aware of how to read there behaviour to notice if they are happy, anxious ect so your dog will always be well looked after. I work from home and am also free most weekends/evenings if needed but please do reach out to see if I’m available. I have experience with all size dogs and am comfortable walking dogs that may be a bit of a pain. Our dog has regular training classes and is used to train other dogs too In my own home our garden is fenced there are plenty of toys and enrichment activities available. They will have access to a soft seating and have small paddling pool in the garden during summer months

About: I grew up in a busy household with a Border Collie mix and a Jack Russell, so I’m no stranger to high energy and big personalities! Today, I’m a proud 'sausage mum' to two miniature (well, 'in betweenie' size) dachshunds. I offer dedicated drop-in visits and walks throughout Swale, tailored entirely to your routine. Living in Swale with a flexible work from home schedule means I am available throughout the day and evening to give your dog the attention they deserve - I also drive so distance is not a problem! Having pet sat for family for years, I understand that every dog is an individual. Whether your pup is a high energy explorer or a shy snuggler, I adapt my approach to their specific temperament. I prioritise safety above all else; For your peace of mind, all walks are conducted strictly on lead and are exclusive to your household, ensuring my full focus is always on your best friend. Because I and my partner work from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to be there for your dog exactly when they need me. Whether it’s a mid-morning stretch, a lunch break stroll, or an evening check-in, I can easily work around your routin - I am available throughout the day and into the evening across Swale and the surrounding areas as I have my own car. My priority is providing consistent, reliable care so you can go about your day knowing your pup isn’t waiting by the door alone. Safety is at the heart of every visit. Growing up with high-energy breeds like Border Collies and Jack Russells taught me the importance of vigilance and control. For your peace of mind, all walks are conducted strictly on-lead and are exclusive to your household; I don’t do 'pack walks,' so your dog has my undivided attention. Whether I'm visiting your home for a drop-in or exploring the local area, I adapt to your dog’s specific temperament and triggers. I treat every dog with the same care and caution I give my own two dachshunds, ensuring they return home happy, tired, and safe.
About: I’ve always been around dogs as my family have a puppy and I used to look after friends dogs when they have needed me to. I have a fenced garden. Your pet is welcome to use the downstairs floor and we will be going out for as many walks are required
“Rusty LOVED his day with Flora and her family. She came to visit us for a meet and greet before dropping him off which made it feel all very comfortable. Flora also updated us with photos during the day- it looked like Rusty had a lovely day! Thank you so so much! We will be returning (if Yourll have him!?) xx”


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!
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.
“Willow had a great day with Sean and Jacy. So much so, that she was reluctant to leave! Lovely to receive photos of her day and hear that she made some doggy friends! Will definitely use again- thank you.”


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 believe dogs deserve more than just quick walks and feeding -they deserve real companionship, fun, and lots of love. When your dog stays with me, they’ll get plenty of quality time, long walks, and exciting little adventures. I love taking dogs out to parks, nature trails, and even beach trips whenever possible, so they can explore, sniff, and enjoy their day instead of sitting at home bored. I’m patient, affectionate, and genuinely enjoy bonding with each dog’s personality. I am interested in dog psychology and behaviour patterns, and love learning new things about dogs every day Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I have a golden retriever and a husband who are great helpers, so your pets get lots of attention. I work from home, and my schedule is flexible, so I’m present and available for most of the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent care, companionship, and regular walks without them being left alone for long periods. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. I also have a friendly, well-socialised Golden Retriever who loves the company of other dogs and helps visiting pups feel relaxed and at home. Each day includes proper morning and afternoon walks, playtime, and lots of quality time together. I love taking dogs to local parks, nature trails, and green spaces so they get both exercise and enrichment.

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. 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.

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

There are 2,647 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Swale. About 87% of Swale 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 Swale 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 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.
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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
