“As with previous visits, a positive experience for Mia who really enjoyed her visit. When we pulled up outside, Mia ran into the house with tail wagging. Enough said.”
“We have had several sitters from Rover and have been very pleased with them all. This was a fairly last minute request to board our pup Ziggy for 4 days. So lucky to find Jamie and Cara. 100% + recommendation on every aspect from prompt booking communications, arrangement to have an initial meet and greet walk together with them and their lovely friendly dog Jarvis; thorough prep arrangements for Ziggys stay; great and frequent photos and messages, all very reassuring for us. Most important of all our dog Ziggy had a wonderful time as part of their family, he was happy and relaxed and came home content. Do not hesitate to book with Jamie, perfect Rover hosts. Thanks so much Jamie and Cara.”
“Our dog Cleo enjoyed her stay with Jolene and her family. Jolene reassured Cleo was fine and sent me numerous pictures and a video of her time with them, it was so nice to see. We would definitely recommend and use Jolene again to look after Cleo in the future. Thank you again.”
About: I have had a dog of my own for 12 years and I have experience in all stages of a dogs life. I have undergone puppy training as well with my own dog. I have plenty of spare time to spend with your dogs and give them the care they need. I can offer boarding, day care, drop in visits and dog walking 7 days a week. I have a dog friendly house and garden. Fenced and secure. I have stair gates to prevent dogs from going upstairs and a gated front garden. I also have ramps to help get out into the garden.
“Wanling took great care of my coco over the weekend. She sent me lovely picture updates and it was nice to know coco had a dog buddy to play with. I’ll be booking again!”
“This was our first time leaving our 6 month pup and we were feeling very anxious, but Fern and her partner were incredible. From our first meet-and-great they were friendly, communicative and reassuring. They have a beautiful home well set up for dogs and Robin had a wonderful time. Every update he looked relaxed and well loved, and we’ve come home to a very happy boy! We’d highly recommend and we’ll definitely be booking Fern again for future trips. Thank you so much!”
“Our dog, Huxley has just stayed with Becky while we were away for the weekend. He was really excited to see her again and looked instantly at home. He came back on Sunday, tired, relaxed and very happy. Becky sent us pictures and was really friendly and professional throughout. Really helpful too, when I needed to adjust all the travel plans due to train changes. We saw Hux went on some fab walks and looked really settled at her home. She made the whole experience really easy for us and we're looking forward to using her again. We highly recommend Becky!”
“Thomas was brilliant with my pomchi Bowie he had had him 3 days and i was regularly updated with messages and pictures. He was very comfortable there and i will happily use him again when we next go away. 100% recommend!”
“Marcelo is an exceptional dog sitter who took wonderful care of our dog, Bilbo, for three days. Bilbo was happy and relaxed when we returned, clearly having enjoyed his time. I highly recommend Marcelo to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter.”
“Caterina is a very lovely and kind person. I felt straight away very comfortable leaving our dog Lexy with her. Her little pug is adorable and gave Lexy confidence whilst staying with them. Thanks again for looking after Lexy, she had the best time with you guys 💛”
About: I have always loved animals particularly dogs and have owned many myself over the years. I look after all my friends and families pets ranging from dogs to cats and I also provide dog training in my local area Currently walking and doing drop ins for family and friends pets so more dog walks will fit right in to my day. I absolutely love to walk and explore new places and having a friend beside you just makes it even better. Extremely responsible and trust worthy. I have a fenced garden and a friendly dog myself for company or can do solo walks and drops in for reactive dogs.
About: I will look after your pets like they're my own! I have had cats and dogs from a young age and I am experienced in looking after them and each of their unique quirks and how they mix together. Of course all animals are different so I will work with you to look after and care for your fur babies and their individual needs exactly how you would want them to be cared for. I work full time Monday to Friday and on average I work from home 2 days a week over the month. Which days I choose to work from home are completely flexible. So have plenty of wiggle room for caring for you pets at home (either mine or yours) for drop ins/walkies. My weekends are my own so I am pretty available and flexible. I have my own cats so for dog sitting in my own home they would need to be non-aggressive towards cats. I have a lovely garden that is fenced at the back (backs onto an alleyway) and low walls to neighbouring gardens.
“I was so nervous to leave my puppy overnight but robert was so reassuring and kept us updated with photos and messages. Henry came back and seemed very happy. We look forward to leaving him with robert again.”

Faith was terrific. I had never left Evie before, other than with family. Faith put my mind at rest immediately and Evie was at her second home. She was happy with Faith who looked after her so very well and kept me updated with pics each day. I thoroughly recommend this excellent and experienced sitter. Thank you Faith.
Annie was lovely and warm and Percy immediately seemed at home. He had a lovely weekend with her and Annie kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout. Annie took on the booking quite last minute and was totally relaxed. Percy had a great time and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you!
Fern is amazing!! Winston clearly loved spending time with her: long walks, cuddles and treats. What more could he want 🥰 Thank you for being so kind for collecting and delivery him, as that made a busy weekend so much easier. Really appreciate how thoughtful you are about him, I know I send a lot of information and you made me feel so much less anxious with all the beautiful photos! Thank you again xx
Caterina is a very lovely and kind person. I felt straight away very comfortable leaving our dog Lexy with her. Her little pug is adorable and gave Lexy confidence whilst staying with them. Thanks again for looking after Lexy, she had the best time with you guys 💛
Delighted to leave a 5* review for Nicola, Brenda and all at Doggy Dream Garden Retreat. What a wonderful place full of special people, lovely pets, care and kindness. Monty adored his time there and all of the new friends he made, furry and otherwise! Can't recommend highly enough and feel so lucky to have found them.
Cyndi had a lovely time staying with Ella and Scramble, where she was treated as one of the family. Ella sent daily updates and pictures so we could see Cyndi was really well cared for and very content. We recommend her unhesitatingly and will definitely be booking Cyndi in again. Thanks Ella!
Darren looked after my German Shepherd puppy for several nights. Literally, nothing was too much trouble. A very calm and clean household. Darren is visibly experienced and well suited to dogs of all ages. I was kept updated with photos and messages. It was like leaving my dog with a well trusted family member! Drop-off and pick-up was smooth and simple. When I arrived to pick my dog up, he was happy, calm, relaxed and freshly bathed. Darren is a highly recommended, tried and trustworthy boarding option for anyone in need of true pet care.
I could not recommend Matt enough, he was absolutely brilliant with Sherlock and went way beyond what I expected. Matt showed Sherlock so much kindness and Sherlock clearly had a wonderful day. You can be absolutely confident and content with Matt, he’s a very safe, thoughtful sitter.
I can't speak highly enough of Tina. She jumped in very last minute when I was let down by a friend with cover for Angus. Tina was quick to respond and was super accommodating. Communication throughout was brilliant and Angus loved his time there with Tina and her two boys... maybe a bit too much as he didn't want to leave when I went to pick him up! I would highly recommend Tina.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Thanet on Rover is £43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £29 and £60 per night.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 407 sitters in Thanet, 72% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
