“Splodge had a great time with Josh & Julie. It was during a heatwave and they gave him so much care to keep him cool and happy. Lovely couple who adore dogs of absolutely all shapes and sizes, will definitely use again. Thank you”
“My puppy stayed with Victoria for 2 days and 1 night, I was really impressed with Victoria's communication, I had regular updates on how my puppy was doing with photos as well. I felt completely at ease knowing she was doing a good job of looking after him. I Would definitely book Victoria again.”
“Moose absolutely loved staying with Laura and Otto, he was very well looked after and had a great time playing, going on walks and cuddling! Received lots of wonderful videos of how happy he was all weekend. Couldn’t recommend Laura more!”
“Bonnie had a lovely few days with Holly. I’ve never left her with anyone other than family before, but she was very happy and relaxed going to Holly’s. I had a last minute disaster where nobody could look after her for me and Holly organised to meet me very quickly and agreed to have her. The whole process was very smooth and Holly is very professional. She sent me photos and updates every day, which made me feel very very relaxed about where Bonnie was and what she was doing. I will definitely be using Holly again to look after my Cavapoochon and I can highly recommend her.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog, Bramble, received while we were away on holiday! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable and loving hands and that she’d have a playmate, gorgeous Buddy to hang out with too!! It was clear right away that Jo truly cares about the animals she looks after. Bramble was given plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles. We received updates on how she was doing with photos, which really put our minds at ease and let us enjoy our trip without any worry. When we returned, Bramble was relaxed and happy. It honestly felt more like she had a little holiday of her own! Would 100% recommend Jo to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much 😊”
“Macy took such good care of our little chap I think he misses her. The whole family were welcoming and some enjoyed walks and playtime too. This is obviously a dog loving household. Communication was great and we had lots of pictures and videos clearly showing a very smiley and happy dog. If there was anything that Macy was unsure of she contacted us directly which we appreciated. We would not hesitate to ask Macy to care for our very energetic little terrier again as we know he had an amazing time. Thank you Macy for looking after him as if he were your own.”
“Gary had a lovely time with Bronte, Sam and Teo. Would definitely recommend. We had lots of pictures and updates and they made us very comfortable leaving him knowing he would be well looked after.”
“Last minute booking due to a sitter having to cancel. Our pups had a good time and some lovely walks. Great communication and regular updates. Lots of outside space to run around and play!”
About: Hi there! My name is Rachel, I’m a 29 year old working professional based in Taunton and I live with my partner in a fully detached house with a large secure enclosed garden, giving dogs plenty of safe space to play and explore. I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs all my life, and featured in my photo is our family dog Coco, a mini Pomeranian who I absolutely adore. I regularly dog sit for friends over weekends and love taking their dogs out for walks and adventures in the countryside. I enjoy being outdoors and discovering new walking spots, so your dog will get lots of exercise, attention and companionship. I work from home on Mondays, meaning I’m around throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks, feeding and company. Although we don’t currently have pets living with us, our home is very pet friendly and calm, making it a great environment for dogs to feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m available on weekends and love spending time outdoors on long walks and adventures with dogs. Most of my friends have dogs and I love going for Saturday morning coffee and dog walks with them. I also work from home on Mondays, so I’m around all day for walks, feeding, toilet breaks and plenty of company. Your dog will get lots of attention, playtime and care throughout their stay! Your dog will be cared for in a calm, loving home with a large secure enclosed garden where they can safely play and explore. I currently don’t have pets, so your dog will have plenty of space and attention. I always make sure dogs are well looked after, exercised, comfortable and treated like part of the family!
“Charlie was very well looked after by Fraser and his wife. She was settled and happy and she appeared to have made herself very much at home and from the photos, enjoyed herself thoroughly. I would definitely recommend using Fraser and we will be booking again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our little girl.”
“Holly was amazing with our pups, Bailey and Chispa! She kept in touch throughout the night which gave us so much peace of mind. Her garden setup is perfect for dogs to run around and play, and she also took them on some really lovely walks. Bailey and Chispa were so happy and relaxed with both Holly and her partner Nelson, we could tell they were really well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Holly again and highly recommend her!”
“Colin and Melissa were amazing with our big German Shepherd, Solo. Solo got very excited to see them both for his sleepover at theirs, after his first meet and greet a few days prior. He absolutely loved running around in their garden and you could tell that he had been well walked and played with as he slept all evening when he got back to ours! They took our booking on at short notice, being very adhering to our needs. They had great communication with us, from arranging the booking, to giving us Solo updates whilst he was at theirs. Thanks again; we would definitely recommend! ?”
“Edita was extremely accommodating of my dog’s needs. She can be nervous with new people but was instantly at ease in Edita’s home. My dog was relaxed and happy when we collected her after 3 nights, and had clearly a lovely stay with lots of care and attention.”

“My dog Dolly stayed with Laura last night, and overall it was a good experience. She seemed happy and well looked after when I picked her up. Communication was great, and I got a couple of updates while she was there, which was really nice and reassuring. The place seemed safe and Dolly settled in quite quickly. I feel it went smoothly and I’d be happy to use her again in the future.”
“If I could give this lady 10 stars I would. We have a very anxious dachshund who is scared of most things. He has now stayed with Barbara twice and he absolutely loves it. Barbara is exactly the sort of person you would want to look after your dog while you are away. She is kind, caring and gives her dogs all the time and loving they need I would not hesitate to recommend her”
“Donna was excellent and I would definitely trust her to look after my dog again. I really appreciated the updates and photos as it helped put my mind at ease. Thank you for everything!”
“Paddy had the most wonderful time. Shelagh and Pete gave him the best holiday - lots of cuddles and plenty of fun running in their field with their dog Spike. We couldn’t have asked for more. When we picked him up he seemed completely at home so we wouldn’t hesitate to book him in for another stay. Very grateful for all of Shelagh’s care and attention.”

Josh and Julie are very welcoming and are very committed to their boarding service. We recently had to leave Blue and Tully in their care in a heat wave. They were fully kitted out with fans to keep them cool. They walked them early morning to ensure no heat stress. We were updated all through their stay providing us with reassurance that Blue and Tully were having their own little holiday. We would recommend Josh and Julie as perfect dog boarders.
We left Rex with Joel while we attended a wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the care he received. Rex is a large rescue dog, so finding someone who understands his needs is incredibly important to us. They were fantastic—attentive, calm, and shared some pictures. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Rex was in safe hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking again. Highly recommended!
I can't express enough how grateful I am for Victoria’s exceptional dog-sitting service! While I was away, she took care of my dog, Pippin, with such love and attention. From the moment I met her, I knew Pippin was in great hands. Victoria kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which really eased my mind. She took him on long walks and made sure he felt loved and comfortable throughout my time away. When I returned, Pippin was happy and relaxed, a true testament to her dedication. It's clear that Victoria has a genuine passion for animals, and her nurturing nature made all the difference. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾❤️
Bailey was well looked after and he got on well with her lovely dogs and had fun playing and wearing each other out! I had regular updates and photos from Holly and I felt assured he was well cared for and that I didn’t need to worry. Highly recommended. Thank you H&J
Ashleigh was a superstar. She went above and beyond for Winston. She not only cared for him at a high standard, she went thar extra Mile and played stimulating sniff games with Winston with rewards of chicken and even took the time to do some sit/stay training with him. I could not recommend Ashleigh enough and we will definitely be rebooking in the future. 5 stars is not enough. If I could give 10 I would
Fantastic couple who I cannot recommend highly enough. I left my two large dogs with them while I was away and the care they gave them was wonderful. Despite my dogs being very grumpy at times, Amy took them for multiple walks and handled them with complete professionalism and empathy. She even gave them a brush ❤️ Amy and her partner were very friendly, welcoming, and are clearly very knowledgeable. My two had a wonderful time. If you’re looking for a dog sitter she is the one to book. Thank you again! Xx
Above and beyond! Monika sent us daily updates while we were away and Luna honestly had the best time, she clicked so well with Willow and looked completely at home. We actually joked that she might not want to come back with us! Couldn’t recommend Monika and Ben more. We’ll definitely be booking them again next time.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Taunton Deane
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Taunton Deane on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 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 .
As of June 2026, there are 507 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Taunton Deane. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
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 .
