“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 ☺️”
“Liam provided exceptional care for Kevin. Kevin is an old dog so can be a little anxious around change but he settled really quickly with Liam who provided a very calm environment for him. I was kept up to date with photos and messages. I would absolutely recommend Liam for pet care needs and would certainly go back again”
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life and have owned and cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, personalities and sizes—from small lap dogs to much larger breeds. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them, whether that means playing in the garden, enjoying a good game of fetch, giving plenty of fuss and cuddles, or simply relaxing together on the sofa. I have been providing home boarding for six years, so I understand that every dog is different. Some arrive ready to explore and play, while others need a little extra patience and reassurance before they feel settled. I take the time to learn about each dog’s personality, usual routine, likes, dislikes and individual needs so that I can help them feel safe, comfortable and completely at home. I am home throughout the day, meaning my guests receive plenty of company, attention and supervision without being left alone for long periods. I also have a huge, fully enclosed back garden where dogs can safely stretch their legs, play, sniff, explore or find a sunny spot for an afternoon snooze. My resident dog is Shelby, a wonderfully calm and chilled German Shepherd who is accustomed to sharing her home with visiting dogs. Her relaxed nature helps make my home feel welcoming, whether a guest wants a playmate or prefers to enjoy their own space. I am also first-aid trained, giving owners additional reassurance that their dog is being cared for by responsible and experienced hands. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave a much-loved family member with somebody else. I provide the same love, patience and care that I would want for Shelby, creating a genuine home-from-home experience filled with attention, playtime, affection and plenty of wagging tails. I am home throughout the day, so my schedule is flexible and dogs receive plenty of company, attention, playtime and supervised garden time. I aim to follow each dog’s normal routine, including their usual mealtimes, exercise, rest and bedtime, helping them settle in and feel at home. I have six years of home-boarding experience and am first-aid trained. My home provides a calm, loving environment with a huge, fully enclosed back garden for safe play and exploration. Visiting dogs are carefully introduced to Shelby, my relaxed German Shepherd, and I follow every owner’s care instructions closely.
“Hubert had a great time with Alex. She was really warm and lovely as a person. Alex took Hubert for a walk to Coate water, lots of pictures were sent and Hubert left very happy. Thank you Alex. We would definitely use you again if you’ll have us. Xx”
“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.”
“What a lovely couple. Bailey enjoys going to visit with them, he's off into their house without so much as a goodbye! Which is wonderful to see as it means that he is happy there.”
“She and her family are very friendly for us. My dog usually doesn't like to interact with other dogs, but she was showing interest in this family's dog. It's a sign that she's very relaxed. I would like to ask them to day care again!”
About: Hi, Ours names are Wilson and Georgia. We don’t have dogsitting experience, but we have been loving dog parents for years. Our rescue Rufus lived to 17, which sadly died of cancer. And we now have Bud who is just over 4. We have always loved dogs, but we are a little biased towards Jack Russels. We have trained Bud from a puppy. Everyone who meets him says he is a nicely tempered dog and has a happy demeanour. However, he does love to bark to let us know someone is coming to the door. We both work part time and im currently working from home. We will have plenty of time for your little one. We can also give them as many walks as they need. We have a big fenced garden where they can sun bathe if they enjoy it. The house is cool if they struggle with the heat. They will also have Bud as a friend to keep them company. If you need a crate I have a big one available which we used to puppy train Bud. We are happy for them to be as comfortable as they want to be.
“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.”
About: I've recently lost my best friend, a jack russel called Theo. And not ready to get another, but realised I miss dog walks and pouring my love into dogs and furry animals. I'm a real animal lover. I have experience of puppy care and senior care after 15 years with my own dog. I'm currently having a break from teaching young children and am available during the day during the week and weekends to spend time caring for and loving your pets. I have a fenced large garden and plenty walks near my home, in a quiet neighbourhood. But also available to visit your home and be guided on good walks in your area. I enjoy walking and being in nature and I love animals, so perfect combination.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I've had experience caring for my dog for the last 9 years and absolutely love looking after and loving on animals. Having recently lost my best friend (Percy the cockapoo) to cancer, I am keen to care for others furry friends and miss having the company. I work from home most the week so have availability to look after and give good attention to your loved ones. I currently work from home so am always available to care for pets. My schedule is very flexible so can respond to the animals needs accordingly ensuring they have plenty of potty breaks, time for play, and cuddles on the sofa. My garden is fenced and is situated in a secluded countryside cul de sac. There is very little traffic near me and plenty of walking places nearby. The village is relatively quiet.
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.
“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”

Liam provided exceptional care for Kevin. Kevin is an old dog so can be a little anxious around change but he settled really quickly with Liam who provided a very calm environment for him.

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!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Swindon 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 1,652 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Swindon. About 86% 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.
