“Laura was amazing with Stwrling we felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Being a younger dog only being a year old and full of energy Laura knew exactly how to handle him. We got plenty of updates throughout the day and were sent lots of photos and a video. We would highly recommend her. Once sterling has recovered from being neutered we will for sure do another trail”
“Daria took care of our little dog over Easter. She was fantastic! Daria sent regular videos and photographs to let us know he was doing well - he came home very happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again!”
“Thomas had an amazing stay with Kevin and his Family. Kevin provided updates and photos which we loved as Thomas is only 6 months old and this was his first board. Kevin took Thomas out on regular walks and is a hit with his children so had plenty of playtime. We can really be at ease when Thomas is with them and know that he is being well looked after. We are very thankful.”
“As soon we met Wendy, I knew I would be happy leaving Terrance with her. She looked after him really well and it sounds like he made himself at home during his stay, so he was obviously very comfortable there. Would definitely book with her again.”
“I had a great experience with Irene as a dog sitter. She was very welcoming from the start and seemed genuinely attentive to Bam Bam’s needs. Her home was clean, calm, and spacious, which instantly gave me confidence that he would be well looked after in a safe and comfortable environment. I really appreciated her warmth and professionalism — I’d definitely recommend her and would happily use her again!”

“Lea was really great both times she looked after Nole at my flat. She was flexible and very communicative, she updated me when she arrived and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay. She took Nole for nice long walks and he was happy and tired out when I arrived home. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Very good service. Lovely family, instructions followed .In detail updates regarding my dog everyday with photos and videos. He looked very happy and settled. Will be bringing my dog back again.”
“It was our first time leaving Bentley, so we were naturally nervous. We met Wayne and he immediately put us at ease. From his lovely clean flat, his knowledge of how to look after dogs, and his cheery personality, we felt much happier. As promised, he sent pics and pupdates, and (thankfully) Bentley behaved himself 😉 We can't recommend Wayne highly enough. Thanks Wayne, much appreciated.”
“Gabriella was fantastic. Dolly settled in very quickly and Gabriella ensured that her stay was comfortable and relaxing. I would highly recommend a stay with Gabriella.”
“Mauricio & his family looked after our two dogs for one night and we couldn’t be happier. We got lots of regular really lovely updates and pictures of them with their dog and kids. We don’t leave our dogs very often so always have to get a good feeling when leaving them and once we had a meeting prior to leaving them we instantly got a really nice feeling of a welcome family home. You and your doggies won’t be disappointed in leaving them with these guys. Really lovely & nice for us to know we have two sitters we’ve found now who can look after our pups :) Thanks again”
“We left our boy( dog) with Michelle for 10 days while we were away, and WOW was the best decision to give our dog to Michelle and Ava ( who helped and our dog become attached to her 😊). Michelle kept us updated with pictures and daily messages about our boy. I didnt felt that we left Fidel with a stranger. Michelle and her family and Wilf and Ralf embraced and welcomed Fidel. He felt at home straight away. I will definitely bring Fidel back to Michelle and highly recommend the complete package that she offers.”
“Such a lovely guy, looked after my 2 dogs so well, sent lots of updates and they seemed so happy and comfortable with him and enjoyed the company of his dogs too, I think they had a better holiday then me 🤭”
About: Hello :) I have 2 children, as well as my beloved cat Liza. We love animals very much, so we would be happy to adopt your pet. We become friends very quickly.

Laura looked after Cassi as an overnight trial for a stay at the end of the month. It is clear Laura loves dogs and Cassi had a great time with Laura, her dogs and the other guests. She gave us regular updates and pictures throughout the stay and Cassi came back happy and relaxed.
If I could give 10 stars, I would! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bilqees and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog Muni! From the very first meet and greet, we knew they would be the perfect family and home for him to stay with. Muni stayed with Bilqees and her family for six nights, and we received daily updates and photos, so we always knew how he was doing. It was clear that Muni felt completely at home, and we knew he was being loved and well looked after. 🥰 Bilqees made us feel so at ease and gave us complete confidence that Muni was in the best hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and will definitely be returning. 🙂 Bilqees, thank you so much again for taking such wonderful care of Muni. We really appreciate everything you did for him. ❤️ x
Rolo had the best time with Nicole we received daily updates along with photo's which helped as this was the first time he had boarded away from us. I spoke to Nicole a couple of times and she made me feel at ease. I would definately use Nicole again in the future and would recommend her as well. Thank you Nicole x
Dari is simply wonderful — I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust with my Luna. From the moment Luna went to stay with Dari, I felt completely at ease. In just a week or two, it was clear that Luna wasn’t just being “looked after” — she was truly welcomed as part of the family. That kind of warmth is rare and means everything to a dog owner who has to be away from their beloved pet. Luna came back happy, relaxed, and full of love, which says it all really. Dari has a natural, genuine way with dogs that you simply can’t fake — Luna felt safe and at home, and that peace of mind was priceless to me. She’s my first choice when comes to leave Luna again with someone. Thank you Dari for everything you done for Luna ❤️🐾
Sukritee was absolutely amazing with my dog. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented, asking about his daily routine, toilet breaks, and how many treats he should have, which immediately made us feel confident leaving him in her care. Throughout our time away, she kept us continuously and timely updated about how he was doing, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. She is extremely kind, warm, and genuinely loves animals, and it truly shows in the way she cares for them. Communication with her was effortless, and she went above and beyond to make sure our pet was happy and comfortable. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Sukritee to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate! 🐶💛
Loretta looked after our boy Dodge overnight. We arranged a visit before hand to meet, discuss arrangements and see if it was a good fit. Loretta and her family were warm and welcoming and Dodge took to them right away. We were so happy with the care, attention and affection Loretta showed Dodge and he settled well. We were kept up to date regularly with pictures and videos. We wouldn't hesitate to use Loretta to look after our noy again
Billie looked after my adorable Teddy (pomapoo) for two weeks whilst we were away on holiday. I was very anxious about leaving my Teddy as he hasn’t previously been left with anyone he hasn’t known. However, he loved it there and settled in so well. I received daily pictures and videos of Teddy whilst I was away. I felt reassured knowing he was being looked after so well. He looked happy and was having a holiday of his own. Good communication throughout booking process and during his stay. I will defo be booking again with Billie. Thanks again for looking after Teddy.

FAQs for Boarding - Thurrock
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Thurrock on Rover is £36.97 per night (as of July 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 .

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 .
