“Very happy with Rebecca and her doggy day care. She was flexible in taking my last minute booking, which I was grateful for. It was the first time leaving my 7 month year old pup with someone and I couldn't be happier and was extremely well informed of how she was getting on during the time I was away. I will definitely book again and again with Rebecca”
“Natalia and her partner had Benny for a few hours to test how they’d both get on and from the pics and updates, it looks like he had a great time. Communication has been great and quick/detailed replies to messages have been super reassuring. Benny will likely be doing a full day with them asap and I bet he will be very excited to see them both ☺️”
“Mark looked after our puppy Emrys for the day. It’s such a relief to be able to leave Emrys with someone we were able to trust straight away. It’s evident Mark loves animals and we felt Emrys got the best care.”
“Alex looked after our pup so well, we know how full on Molly can be, however Alex took it all in her stride, and Molly came home relaxed, and happy. This is our first experience of using both Rover.com and the services of a dog carer, and we were impressed. Love the portal, and the ability to see photos during the day. I have no hesitation in recommending Alex, and hope to use her again in the future.”
“I am so delighted we've found Joanna. Our dogs absolutely loved spending the day eith her and her pup, they all got on so well. She had spare beds and blankets, toys etc for them to make them feel at home. Couldn't have been more at ease leaving them with her, and will definitely be booking again!”
“Cara was amazing with my dog. Roxy absolutely loved and trusted her with all I heard. Booked at the last minute with her and she took care of Roxy well. Will love to bring Roxy to her again next time.”
“Sigita did a great job of looking after our puppy Cookie, and went above and beyond to help us out. Great communication with updates and photos. would recommend and book again”
“Fritz our beagle had a lovely day! Made to feel very welcome and given the run of the large house and garden, and he was given toys to play with. He was taken on a couple of walks and we were sent photos and updates. Definitely recommend and we are already booking another day.”
“Lidiya was absolutely brilliant! I made a last-minute enquiry, and she handled everything so well. She took great care of my puppy and kept me updated regularly, which gave me real peace of mind. Highly recommend! Thank you Lidiya.”
About: I’ve always loved caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m experienced with both large and small breeds, energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime, and calmer dogs who prefer cuddles and quiet companionship. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to adapt to your dog’s routine to help them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping up with exercise needs, providing extra attention to older dogs, or making sure nervous pets feel relaxed and secure, I make sure every dog gets plenty of love, supervision, and affection. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and regular companionship throughout the day, and I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I provide a calm, safe, and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled while you’re away. I have a secure fenced garden for supervised outdoor time, as well as nearby walkways and parks that are perfect for walks and exercise. I always follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific preferences they may have. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a pet owner’s home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Mandy and her husband are great and so attentive to our dog when he goes there. You can always tell when a dog is relaxed and he runs in amd doesn't look back and is content when we pick him up. Fully recommended”
“John is a great sitter. Billy had a very happy day! Everything went well from start to finish -I had great directions to Johns house, and a warm welcome. Billy was very at home. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and genuinely love spending time with them. During this time I’ve looked after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities, so I understand that every dog has their own needs and routine. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them plenty of attention and cuddles, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also reliable and responsible, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure your pet gets the best possible care. I work from home 3 days a week and then the other two days I do volunteer work local to wear I live so am able to come back a fourth through out the day. I walk everyday so always love when I have some company. I have a spacious flat where your dog can feel at home. I do not have a garden but am near lots of fields so we’d have plenty of places to walk too.
“Louise, Mark and lovely Timmy provided excellent doggy daycare for my Cockapoo Matilda today. This has been the most positive experience to date using Rover, and I can very highly recommend Louise to care for your dog. Thank-you ever so much for proving Matilda with a wonderful day!”
“Buddy was well looked after. The meet and greet he had with Shelby prior to staying went very well and I was happy to take him to Courtney for the day. I also received some lovely photos of Buddy, taken during his day care.”

Rhea and her mum looked after Simba so well, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were both incredibly welcoming, kind and friendly from the moment we met them. Before the booking, Rhea was happy to arrange a meet and greet, which really helped put our minds at ease and gave Simba the chance to get to know them beforehand. They also kindly accepted our lastminute booking, which we really appreciated. Throughout Simba’s stay, they kept us updated with plenty of messages and lovely photos, which really put my mind at ease knowing he was happy and being well cared for. I would highly recommend Rhea to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter, and we would definitely book with her again. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of Simba!
Great to have our labradoodle Emrys spend the day with Mark and his family again. He had a brilliant time, well looked after and we’re very happy to have a trusted sitter in the books for future events. It’s great to be able to have Emrys socialise with other dogs in a safe environment. Thank you so much, Mark!
Joanna and Chris took great care of Donut today. We’ll definitely recommend them and use them again in the future. They sent loads of photos and videos throughout the day, which we really appreciated and helped keep us updated. As it was our first time using Rover, we were a little hesitant at first, but they made us feel completely confident and reassured that Donut was in good hands. Thank you both for taking such good care of Donut!
Ted has been to Sophie’s multiple times now and he is absolutely thrilled everytime we turn up at her door! Half the time he doesn’t even say bye to me because of the excitement of seeing Soph! She is the best and I 100% trust her 🤍 such a lovely girl and would re book again and again and again!
Laura looked after my 10 week old puppy Louie last minute. She took good care of him, his needs were met and his routine was implemented. He was loved and cared for and felt he was in safe hands. Louie missed Laura when we drove away. I would definitely recommend her.
I left my dog with Olivia for the first time. Izzy seemed relaxed and happy when we went to collect her. We were able to enjoy our day out without any worry. We will definitely get in touch with Olivia again when we need someone to look after Izzy in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Swindon on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of August 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 1,635 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Swindon. About 85% of Swindon 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 Swindon 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 West 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.
