“Mac’s stay with Emma was great. I think he had a nice holiday while I was away on my holiday. He settled back into his routine at home quickly and he is very happy so that shows he was well looked after by Emma and her family. Thanks Emma.”
“Perfect… Barley loved his time with Hannah and the family and was definitely well looked after! Brilliant communication and attention to detail. I’ll be in touch for the next booking :-)”
“Tanna was great! She sent us several photos every day, and updated us on our dog while we were away. The best part was that our dog had a little friend — her sausage dog, and Tanna sent us photos of them sleeping next to each other which was very cute. I would certainly trust Tanna to look after our dog again?”
“Debbie had our dog Harley for one night. Prior to having him we met her at her house and had a good chat about Harley’s food, sleep, walks etc. he really took to both her and her husband, they are genuinely lovely people and really want to take care of the dogs they are looking after. A few weeks later Harley went to see Debbie for an hour and we left him to see how he would be, he was very settled and Debbie took the time to send a couple of pictures showing him chilled out. Subsequently I had no worries at all leaving him overnight. Debbie took really good care of him, sent a couple of pictures to reassure me and I think he thoroughly enjoyed his stay. I would have no hesitation in using Debbie again and have already booked another stay 😊 🐶”
“Absolutely incredible, my two dogs had the most wonderful day & night staying at Jill’s home! Jill kept me informed throughout their stay with a video & photos, they were both looked after with such care, taken on walks and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! Will definitely use Jill again when we need care for our two dogs, highly recommended.”
“Michael took excellent care of my dog in his home while I was away for a few days. Michael kept good contact with me and sent me photos of a very happy dog - I returned back to a very happy dog and even more great photos! I've got full faith in Michael and would fully recommend him I'll be contacting Michael in the future.”

Rylee had a lovely stay with Jill. We were so grateful for the regular photo and videos updates. Rylee was so relaxed and settled in her home. Jill has an info sheet we completed that records all of Rylee needs and quirks which is really helpful. 100% would recommend and rebook.
Leah was absolutely amazing with Axel — I couldn’t have asked for better care. She kept me updated every day with photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease, and it was clear he was happy, relaxed and being well looked after the whole time. The photos she took were incredible — honestly like professional shots! We love them so much we’re planning to frame them. Leah was also incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout. She really went above and beyond to make Axel feel comfortable and settled, and even helped us out on pick-up by bringing him to the station, which made things so much easier for us. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Axel was treated with so much warmth and attention. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you again, Leah 🤍 xx
Adele and her family were fantastic sitters, I would not hesitate to recommend her pet boarding services. My Alfie enjoyed a lovely weekend in their home, I had regular updates with pics and I felt reassured he was fine. We will certainly use Adele’s services again if we need to go away. Nanette

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 East of 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 .
