“From the meet and greet, it was clear that Helen is a sensible, down-to-earth person who genuinely cares about the dogs in her care. The meeting was relaxed and unhurried, giving Shadow plenty of time to get to know Luna and the other dog staying at the time, as well as allowing plenty of opportunity for questions from both sides. The pre-stay forms were reassuringly thorough, covering all the information Helen would need to ensure Shadow’s needs were fully met. On the day of Shadow’s stay, Helen kept me regularly updated, and it was clear he was having a wonderful time — not only playing with the other dogs, but also, importantly, feeling comfortable enough to relax. It was a very hot day, and Helen did a great job of striking the right balance between giving the dogs enough exercise and keeping them cool. The set-up is fantastic, with plenty of safe indoor and outdoor space for the dogs to roam and relax. 10/10 — I will definitely be booking again!”
“I had Josh and Julia look after Marley and Lola for a day for doggy day care I booked last minute. Josh and Julia were really quick to respond, super friendly and most importantly great with the dogs. They took them out for a walk and I could tell how well they looked after them by how much they slept on the long drive after. Highly recommend and will be using again!”
“Really good with keeping you informed and up to date. Bella has enjoyed herself and came home happy and relaxed. Victoria took really good care of Bella, she is a natural at looking after dogs and I would 100% recommend her to anybody. We will be taking her back again.”

“I’ve just picked Blue up after a day with Quentin and family and he was clearly well looked after. I received updates and photos during the day and all went just as we hoped. Would definitely recommend”
About: I own a gorgeous mixed dog breed so have direct experience as well as my childhood home hosting various cats and dogs. I have dealt with heartbreak and pure pleasure. Currently in between jobs so could do with some extra money. Each week I can be flexible. Evenings are also a possibility as well as weekends. I have a modest sized house with sufficient fencing. I live alone. No children. I own a dog myself so I am very aware of what is too much .
“Hetty had a great time with Charlotte and clearly loved her day out with a new friend Mylo too :) Photos and updates through the day were hugely appreciated and I will certainly be contacting Charlotte again for more day care, thank you for looking after my pooch so well!!!”
About: Hey! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m currently available for day sitting. I’d love to have some company around the house and give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ve been looking after pets for friends and family for the past 10 years and absolutely love animals of all kinds. I’m also an amateur photographer, so if you're happy with it, I’d love to snap a few cute portraits of your pet while they’re with me! I work full-time, usually from home but with the occasional day in the office, but this is planned well in advance. Typically, I’m available for sitting Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays and Fridays. I have a small fenced garden, however live right by several parks and some very scenic canal and river walks, so that won’t be a problem!
About: I’ve had spaniels the best part of my life, currently sharing a house with a 2 year old sprocker called Mylo. Firefighters as my full time job so have a good amount of time to take dogs for walks when on my days off! I work a 2-2-4 pattern, so 2 days, 2 nights, 4 off, so have ample time to fit in dog walks around my shift pattern. Fully enclosed large garden for dogs to play in, am able to walk dogs alongside my spaniel Mylo. Happy to keep on lead if that is what the owner requests.
“Mia has been excellent - would highly recommend and happily book with her again. Communication was excellent, Otis loved her and she was incredibly patient and understanding of him being a young pup.”
About: Caring, reliable and passionate about dogs. Years of experience with all kinds of breeds, age and temperaments. I will always treat your pets like my own. Fully insured with certificates in first aid and dog psychology Availability any day/time. Dog walking and pet care is my main job, and I also schedule drop ins and boarding when required. I am fairly flexible on times and availability I predominantly offer dog walking and drop in services. However we do offer dog boarding occasionally when we are available. We have a lot of experience with various breeds and temperaments.
“I completely recommend Louise, I felt I could trust her 100% and not only was she great with my dog but she’s a sound person too. I would not hesitate in using Louise again, she is reliable and knows what she is doing”
About: I've grown up always surrounded by pets. My home always had dog's and cats and i currently am the proud owner of 3 cat's. My oldest cat is now 15 and starting to slow down. I regularly look after my brothers beloved pooch who absolutely loves coming here! Love all animals dearly and studied animal care in college but sadly didn't go down the career path of working with animals. Your pets will be loved and adored and probably quite spoilt in their time in my home. My home is a very sofa and bed friendly house for your fur babies! I work part time so i am able to spend lots of quality time with your pet's. Weekends and all school holidays i am off of work. I will only take on a sitting service if i absolutely have the time for them and know that i will be home (not out for a full day or a festival ect). In my home your pet is allowed to get straight into comfort on my sofa or off upstairs in my bed. If this is something that you would prefer your pet to not do, i can also make sure they stay off. I also have a fully enclosed garden. I own 3 cats but they are easily separated if needs be. If I'm in your home then I'll only do what you have asked me to do. I'm a very tidy person so I'm happy to clean poop trays, food bowls, poop ect.
About: I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats of all ages. I adore animals and I have actually been doing sitting for a little while now. I can stay with you if that is easier, I am flexible as I work from home I currently work full time from home so I have lots of flexibility to look after pets. I go walking and to the gym in my spare time. I am a mother to an 9 year old boy, he has done sits with me too but I can also sit on my own if that’s not convenient Please note I cannot do sits longer than a week in school term unless you are local to Bridgwater/Puriton area or within a short drive for school run. ***Im happy to travel but for bookings further away or shorter visits a small travel adjustment maybe required*** The service I would offer would be at your home if possible as I have cats but I have a fenced garden and I am home all day

Charlotte was great looking after our boy and we really appreciated the update we got. It was very relaxing to know that he was somewhere safe and cool during the horrible heatwave. He came back very tired so we suspect he had a great time playing with their dog Milo. Many thanks, would highly recommend.
Holly was excellent from start to finish. Holly communicate with us very effectively and was an eay process. We had a lovely meet and greet a few days before and Purdey gelled well with her two new fury friends and Holly. We got lovely photos of Purdey with updates on the stay over with Holly. Would highly recommend. Was a great experience for Purdey and us.
Joshua was absolutely amazing looking after Nala today. Thank you so much for all the updates, pictures and videos throughout the day — it was so lovely and reassuring to see how happy and well cared for she was. It’s clear that Joshua genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Nala had a wonderful time, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. We’re incredibly grateful and would highly recommend Joshua ☺️
We left Rex with Joel for the first time recently and couldn't be happier. Joel was lovely to deal with, and it was clear from the start that Rex was in great hands. Rex had a fantastic time and seemed so happy and settled when we picked him up. We’ve already booked our next stay and highly recommend Joel to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter in Taunton!
Emily is fantastic with Poppy. It is the first time that she has been left with someone outside the family and Emily put me at ease. She kept me updated through the day, and I had total confidence that she would care for Poppy. Poppy had a lovely time and was really tired. We would recommend Emily and have already rebooked.
Chocs said "Laura was great; she should come back every time you swan off on this and that". And I believe every little thing Chocs tell me. How else could I know how it all was good? I wasn't here for the six hours that Laura reigned supreme. What I am sure about, is that it was all mutual smiles when I returned. Top Marks!
Victoria has looked after our cockapoo, wonderfully, whilst we have been on holiday. He has loved visiting each day and being cared for in every way. Victoria is very professional and we couldn’t have wished for a better experience. We will definitely be asking her to have our dog again
Thank you so much for entertaining Charlie for the evening Kate … and for introducing him to the harmonica !! It was nice to see settled easily. You rescued him from being sat in the car for far too long. He’ll have much preferred human company … and live music !! Thanks once again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Taunton Deane on Rover is £26.45 per day (as of September 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 551 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Taunton Deane. About 85% of Taunton Deane 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 Taunton Deane 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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
