“We were very apprehensive about leaving our beloved Stitch at doggy daycare but Ella made the whole process run smoothly. He settled well and enjoyed being with Scramble. Ella gave us regular updates with photos which was all very reassuring. A great service. Thank you.”

“I knew Laszlo would be in good hands with Annie as a fellow spaniel lover and he clearly had a great time with her. She was very accommodating and kept me updated with pictures and videos of him having fun and playing games. Very happy with everything and reassured to know Annie is nearby in future”

“Faith was brilliant with Ralphie. She took him at very short notice for the whole of my work day plus trains and she was amazing when he had an upset stomach unexpectedly. She dealt with it with maturity, grace and kindness. Her poodle Coco is so sweet and was a great friend for Ralphie.”

“Claire was amazing. Our dog is quite high energy while simultaneously anxious. Claire took her for a whole day, and sent regular updates and pictures, showing she was happy and relaxed! I think our dog might prefer Claire to us! You cannot go wrong. Thank you Claire!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 18, was a house sitter for multiple animals at the same time. Love going on multiple walks per day around the beach and parks local to me. Love having dogs socialise with each other as I have a dog myself, he loves playing with other dogs. Love spoiling dogs and giving them the world they deserve. I don't necessarily have any special training that I can provide for your dog, however I will always make sure they are well behaved! Working from home gives me a lot of time with the dogs , I will usually keep the back door open all day so they can go into the garden when they want to. Happy with big, small, medium sized dogs, as my dog gets a long with all dogs. He's an ex rescue dog and very shy around people. However around dogs he comes alive! I'm currently working full time from home. I have an online business, meaning I can work when I want. My typical schedule would involve my partner waking up around 5AM to let the dogs out as she leaves for work around 6AM. The dogs then come into bed with me until I wake up which is around 7-7:45AM. My work starts with a meeting at 8:15AM which usually lasts 30mins-45mins. After the meeting I typically go on a dog walk for an hour, this can be around the fields , parks or beaches near me. Then I come home and work through the day, the back door will be open all day so the dogs can go out. I then go for an afternoon / evening walk around 5-6pm. This usually is an hour however can change depending which dogs i'm looking after. I can also do 1 walk per day if that is all your dog needs (some dogs cannot be over-excercised). Pet-care very easily works around my daily life, nothing would change in my schedule if I was to look after your dog. I have a fenced garden, and a very friendly 10 -month old rescue puppy called Dexter. He loves playing with other animals and dogs, male of female. There are 2 doors to get in, 3 if you count the one without a lock. Meaning if they were to get out the door to my flat they wouldn't be able to get out to the road. My dog does not get protective over treats or food so eating wouldn't be an issue. My dog also does not get jealous , he's never been aggressive in the time we've had him, he's scared of people but loves animals ! My dog also does not bark ! If your dog was to bark or try to dominate him he would allow it to happen, he's very placid.
About: Dogs have been in my life for as long as I can remember but since meeting my partner (Cara) 13 years ago, we have had the responsibility of looking after our own dogs We lost our Australian terrier 6 years ago but now we have a cocker spaniel who is 5, very well trained with recall and tricks, although very excitable but this is due to the love he is shown regularly. Our dog is walked three times a day so you can guarantee any pet left with us will get exercise if desired. We are dog and animal lovers so they’ll be in great hands. I currently have a lot of flexibility in my job that allows me to work from home. This means I have the ability to care for your pet and also provide walks in the morning, lunch and evening. I’m outdoorsy and a keep fit kind of guy, so weather does not prevent me from getting my steps which is beneficial to me and your pets. Cara is unable to work from home but she makes it for our evening walks and our weekends are centred around our dog, we don’t go anywhere without him and even if we do he is left with our parents, not home alone. I have a fenced back garden, a very friendly dog named Jarvis (working cocker spaniel) which should provide some much needed company and entertainment for your pet.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have a 7-year-old Fox Terrier, so I’m very familiar with the energy, intelligence, and personality that comes with the breed. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs of different ages and temperaments, from playful puppies to more senior dogs who need a gentler approach. What sets me apart is the personal attention and patience I give to every animal. I understand that every dog is different—some need lots of play and stimulation, while others just want a quiet cuddle and a steady routine. I treat every pet like my own, and I’m always happy to follow any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy in my care. I work at a studio just 5 minutes from my home, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I can either bring a dog with me to the studio I create a calm and secure environment where pets can relax, play, and feel safe. I don’t have any children or other pets besides my own friendly Fox Terrier, so your pet will get plenty of attention and one-on-one care. I make sure the space is pet-proofed, clean, and suited to their individual needs—whether that means lots of play, quiet time, or regular toilet breaks.
“Amanda was great. Duke and Bobby were very happy. We had picture updates so we know they were ok,both ours dogs were very relaxed and happy around Amanda look forward to using her again.”

About: I am 52 years old and have fed, walked, mucked out and administered medication (pills) to: dogs, cats, budgies pigs, pigeons and a rabbit. I have had a loving connection to animals since childhood. I respect their right as individuals being mindful of their needs for companionship and down time. I can provide caring and respectful interaction with your companion animal and carry out instructions for feeding and their other routines as well as make sure that your property is kept secure and tidy. I am physically fit, (running, cycling, swimming and climbing). I love to get out and about especially hiking/walking/running at your dog's pace and I love to play them at their own games, tug of war and fetch! I provide regular photo and video updates and supervise their care routines. I have 11 years of monthly volunteer experience at a vegan ran animal rescue sanctuary, which keeps rescued pigs, sheep, cows, turkeys, geese, ducks, an alpaca and also had a sadly departed rescue deer. I have also volunteered at Kerala animal rescue in India for stray dogs (rescue, neuter, vacinate and release). I can provide references upon request. I'm currently working from home and enjoy taking breaks to exercise and interact with companion animals. We usually play their favourite game or walk/run either locally or on an exciting trip. I usually sit with companion animals in their home, and get a sense whether they want to play or chill out. I also provide their food and medication per regular routine.

“Excellent service received from Tina. I left my puppy with Tina for the whole day. It was the first time I had left her with anyone, so I was a little bit worried how she would get on. Tina was very reassuring and even messaged me during the day and sent me photos of my puppy enjoying her stay . Lovely lady, I will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was a child. I’ve owned everything from rabbits and guinea pigs to goats and cats and have looked after dogs of all ages and temperaments. I work from home on a flexible schedule so am available for companionship, feeds and walks all day…and even in the night. I also walk on the cliffs, parks or beaches regularly and welcome the company. I have a large fenced garden and home with areas that can be closed off for safety and cleanliness. I believe in positive reinforcement with respect for space and building a bond with individual animals.
“Jolene was great with my dog! My dog looked very contented when i picked her up and i received alot of info from Jolene on how my dog behaved and how she was on her long walk out and also how she was being left for the first time. I received a photo of her which i didnt get till nearly pick up time due to Rover not informing me that i had a photo on the app. Would i leave my dog with Jolene again? Absolutely! Thank you Jolene!”

“First time using the service and so pleased to have found Stephen. Warm and welcoming home which put both myself and George at ease. George had a great time on his first visit and was excited when we arrived for his second stay. Highly recommend.”


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've trained my Dobey, my Rotti, my Yorkshire terriers, and Vlaamse Rose rabbits. I have a fountain of knowledge and buckets of love to give. I would like to dog sit nearer my children who all live in Berkshire, occasionally. I really love living by the sea but I do miss the Chiltern hills. If anyone from Berkshire would like a reliable, experienced, fun sitter please contact me. I don't have a pet anymore. I'm totally independent. I think that makes me pawfect for the role of reliable dog/cat/house sitter. Love to walk! Your pet would be part of my family. I'd make sure they were comfortable and felt loved from the moment they arrive. A calm space.
“Charlotte was absolutely wonderful! Stanley had two lovely walks, they played, he slept! Stanley was happy to stay with Charlotte, I had lots of update and photos. If Charlotte would have him, I will be rebooking no doubt about it!”

“Tessa was wonderful! I had a last minute trip out and had to leave Truffle for the day, and Tessa was so quick to respond, flexible on time, and gave us updates on Truffle. Since we are moving to her area we hope to have more puppy time with Tessa when Truffle needs company. She truly loves dogs and it shows”

This was my first time leaving Bud with a stranger. Thomas is just one of those people who puts you at ease and made the whole experience so much easier. And was available the next day for me which was amazing. Bud was wagging his tail and came out really happy so he must have enjoyed himself or he would have been really moody. The updates in the day are great and I’d certainly have Thomas sit for him again.

Communication was great and Faith was so calm, patient and understanding. She had everything prepared for the heat to look after my 2 dogs for the day. Great pictures and updates during the day too which was reassuring! Will definitely use her services again. I was nervous as my 2 hadn't done anything like this before and she saved the day while I was having work done in the house for the day as previous sitter had let me down the week before her reassurance was perfect. Thank you!
My dog settled in so well with Rosi! I received lots of lovely photos of him resting, walking, and playing, which gave me great peace of mind. He was clearly happy and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend Rosi to anyone looking for reliable and loving dog care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Thanet on Rover is £27.6 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 406 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Thanet. About 87% of Thanet 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 Thanet 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 East 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 .
