“It's our second time we use Hannah's services. Our dog Rex was left with Hannah & her family and he was looked after very well. We were impressed by daily updates including photos several times a day which put our mind at rest. Hannah is very caring and loving pets person which we value at highest level. We highly recommend Hannah's services for her exceptional care and attention. We will definitely use Hannah's services again soon. Thank you very much ! xx”

“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.”

About: I’m a huge dog lover with over 4 years of experience caring for my two dogs since puppies and I also volunteer with a dog rescue, so dogs really are a massive part of my life! Having two dogs myself, I know how difficult and stressful it can be finding someone you trust to look after them, which is why I’m here to help! I’m a proud mum to my daughter, a huge cuddler, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved while they’re with me. Every dog in my care will be treated just like one of my own and I promise to send you updates so you feel at ease leaving them with me❤️ I’m currently on maternity leave, which means I’m around most of the time and can be really flexible with times, including those last minute plans! 🐾 In the New Year, I’ll be returning to full time work, but I’ll only be in the office 2 days a week and working from home the rest. Your dog will never be left uncared for. Me and my two cockapoos are always ready for walks, playtime or, most importantly, cuddles!❤️🐶 Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first! I have a fully enclosed garden with 6ft fencing, giving your dog plenty of safe space to play and explore. I also have two friendly cockapoos who absolutely love to play and will be more than happy to keep your dog company! Inside, I have a baby gate so dogs can be safely separated when needed. Dogs will have access to downstairs and will only go upstairs when accompanied by me, so I always know where they are and what they’re up to. I’m more than happy to take your dog out for walks during their stay. For their safety and your peace of mind, any dog in my care will always be kept on a lead when out on normal walks, regardless of how good their recall is. I also regularly hire a fully enclosed private dog field, where they can safely come off the lead, have a proper run around and play with my two! And of course… treats are never far away😂 I always have treats to hand, but if your dog has a favourite brand, allergies or specific dietary requirements, please bring their usual treats along so I can keep everything familiar and safe🩷
“Adele is a fantastic dog sitter. I left our Bessie with her for 2 nights and I can honestly say any worries I had about leaving her with someone else for the first time were removed straight away. She did everything I asked of her and beyond. Her lovely family and disband may sure Bessie was not anxious, had the run of the house and played for hours with her son. All I can say is if you want your dog looked after well whilst you’re away then you need to leave them with Adele. Thank you for the photos and updates and Bessie will be staying with you again when we need to go away.”

“Tanna and her partner have been absolutely incredible with our Golden Retriever Jackson! They boarded him for a week and looked after him in the first few days when he was sick (he had an upset tummy and vomiting because as a side effect of the deworming tablets we gave him). Tanna sent us daily updates, photos and videos and we loved to see how he became best friends with Nala! I would not hesitate to reach out to you again on our next holiday, thanks so much!”

“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.”

“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 😊 🐶”

“I almost don’t want to write a review so that I can keep Jill a secret! Jill is wonderful and an expert in her field. We felt totally relaxed leaving our dog for his one night sleepover. He had a great time and Jill made sure his time was just like being at home. We have struck gold with Jill and her lovely husband.”

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

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Tendring
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tendring on Rover is £28.75 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 567 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tendring. 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 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 .
