“Louie really enjoyed his stay with Tanna, especially playing with her dog Nala. It was so cute to see them hanging out together. Tanna communicated throughout the day with messages and photos. Thank you so much. I think Louie is hoping we take a trip to Reading again soon!”
“Hannah has been absolutely fantastic with Teddy and they really bonded. Teddy loves it when we tell him he's going to Hannah's. I can sincerely recommend Hannah to look after your dog.”
“This was Rylee’s first visit to Jill. She kept me updated on how she was settling. Rylee seemed to settle quickly, going out for a walk first thing, enjoying cuddles and watering the garden. Wonderful experience, thank you x”
About: What sets me apart is the constant care and attention your dog will receive. I spent a lot of time with our family bulldog Drax, who has since passed, so I have real, hands-on experience with daily dog care and a deep understanding of their needs. I work from home, so dogs are never left alone and get plenty of companionship throughout the day. Depending on the age and health of your dog we can make walks on my lunch break longer or shorter, and adjust any weekend activities! I have a sunny, fenced garden with patio doors so your pup can enjoy being indoors and out, we also have a field at the back for nice walks.
“Dylan had a fantastic day with Michael! He was so well looked after, with lots of playtime. The location is perfect, with a large and secure garden, plenty of space inside and a fun walk nearby, away from roads. Highly recommended!”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Tendring
Jane and Roger were a great choice for doggy day care for my Staffie, Lili - she seemed to have a really good time and was very happy when I picked her up at the end of the day! They took on board everything I requested and were flexible with timings. Lili seemed to warm to them immediately and I felt confident with her being in their care. Would absolutely use them again if needed :)

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Tendring on Rover is £23 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 596 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Tendring. About 89% of Tendring 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 Tendring 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 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.
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 .
