“I can't thank you enough for taking such great care of Yoshi! Your regular updates with videos and photos gave me complete peace of mind, and it was clear that Yoshi was happy and well looked after. Your attention to detail and care made all the difference. I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“We can always relax when Thomas is with Kevin and his family. We know he is in good hands and will have lots of fun. The children love him even though he steals their teddies. 😂 on this occasion Thomas stayed overnight and came home a very happy boy. The children had also drawn some lovely pictures which was a lovely surprise when we unpacked his overnight bag. A huge thank you for taking such great care of Thomas. We would highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their furry family members.”
“Lovely family, made me feel at ease I knew our dogs would be well looked after, we got regular updates and pictures, they enjoyed lots of attention and cuddles here! Thanks again for looking after them for the weekend!”
“Thank you very much indeed ! This was the first time we left Poppy with anyone and had lots of photos and videos to reassure us. Poppy had a wonderful time and was very much loved and cared for. She made some lovely friends both 2 and four legged. Would not hesitate to leave her in such genuinely loving card again whenever we need. Thank so very much.”
“First time I had ever left my doggy Kevin and I have to say that Natalia put my mind at ease, she sent me regular updates and photos which was lovely x Kevin had a lovely time x x”
“Milly had a fantastic two week holiday with Lea & Lucas. I would thoroughly recommend them. We always felt happy in the knowledge that she was with them and we knew that she was safe and having a lovely time. They are trustworthy, considerate and up for giving your pet the best experience possible.”
“This was the first time being away from my dog, I was understandably a bit nervous. I’m so glad I picked Mauricio. Max was like a member of the family. He was very well looked after, I truly appreciated the photo and video updates. He came home cleaned and smelling fresh too!”
“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.”
“Sherlock has stayed with Arpana a few times over the past couple of weeks while we had lots of family visiting for a wedding. We’ve never really felt comfortable leaving Sherlock before, but after seeing Arpana’s profile and how much of a dog lover she is, we decided to give it a try — and we’re so glad we did. From the very first meeting, Sherlock took to Arpana and her family straight away. She kindly welcomed him into her home when we dropped him off, and it was clear how dog-friendly and welcoming the environment was. Each time we brought him back, he would pull eagerly on his lead and sniff his way right up to the door, excited to see them again. A big part of that is down to her children, who clearly adore dogs and were wonderful with Sherlock — he had the best time playing, especially with her daughter. He always came home tired out, but in the happiest way. Arpana kept in touch with regular updates, which was really reassuring for us as slightly anxious owners leaving our dog for the first time. She was also very patient with our many questions and flexible with timing, which we really appreciated. Overall, the experience has made us feel so much more comfortable about leaving Sherlock with a sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again — I don’t think Sherlock would forgive us if we didn’t!”
“Nicole and her family are extremely lovely I felt at ease knowing Mabel was in safe hands and we will Defiently be using her again and cannot recommend her enough to anyone that is looking for boarding for their dog.”
“Rita and her family were all very lovely. She took excellent care of Tubby and Tammy and her love for animals shone through. She needed very little direction or guidance, and when I first met her she asked very good questions which showed her knowledge and care for dogs. She was extremely patient and understanding. I would 100% recommend her services!”
“Bentley was very happy with Daniel and was looked after very well. Daniel kept a n touch with photos and messages so that we could see how well Bentley had settled in. We would definitely rebook Daniel again.”
“Fantastic family! Made us feel welcome and embraced our dog straightaway. Kept us at ease with the regular updates and pictures. Thank you so much and we look forward to using your service in the future”
About: We have our own 2 year old Toy Poodle, Toastie who absolutely loves meeting and playing with other dogs so your pup may even make a new best friend! Our home is a calm, dog friendly environment where we aim to keep your dog’s normal routine as much as possible. We’re happy to follow your instructions around meals, walks, sleeping arrangements, medication and any little routines that help your dog feel comfortable and settled. Meet & Greet First Before accepting a booking, we’d like to meet you and your dog first. This is important to us because we want to make sure your dog is comfortable in our home and that they’re a good fit with Toastie too. We’ll take a little time to get to know their personality, how they interact with other dogs, their energy levels and any particular needs they may have. Our priority is that all the dogs in our care feel safe, happy and relaxed. We’d also love to hear about your dog’s normal routine what they eat, when they sleep, how often they go out, what they enjoy, and any quirks or rituals they have! What Your Dog Can Expect * A home environment rather than a kennel * Someone at home throughout the day * Plenty of affection, attention and companionship * Playtime and interaction with Toastie, where appropriate * Regular toilet breaks and walks appropriate to your dog * Their usual feeding routine wherever possible * Plenty of rest and quiet time when they need it * Photo/video updates during their stay, so you can see how they’re getting on * Individual attention and care based on your dog’s personality and needs * A genuine effort to make them feel like part of the family We understand that every dog is different. Some want to play all day, some prefer a quiet corner and some need a little extra reassurance when they’re away from their owners. We’ll always try to work with their individual personality rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. Additional Services We’re also happy to accommodate requests that fall outside our standard care for an additional fee. We’re very happy to discuss your dog’s individual needs before booking and agree any additional charges with you in advance, so there are no surprises. A Few Things We’d Like to Know When you enquire, please tell us about your dog, including: * Their age, breed and personality * How they are with other dogs * Their normal feeding routine * Their exercise requirements * Whether they are house-trained * Any medications or health considerations we need to be aware of * Any fears, triggers or behaviours we should know about * Their sleeping arrangements * Any favourite toys, treats or comforts * Any routines or little rituals that make them feel at home Come and meet us and Toastie, we’d love to see if we’re the right home away from home for your pup! My wife (Kim) and I are home throughout the day, so we’re able to give your dog plenty of attention, care and companionship. We offer weekday doggy day care, walks and boarding, as well as weekends OR longer term boarding for dogs whose owners are going away on holiday or need care for an extended period. Every dog is treated as an individual, with their own needs, routines and personality taken into consideration. We provide a calm, caring and attentive environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled. Our home has a secure, fenced garden, as well as baby gates on each floor, allowing pets to have their own space and time to relax while also keeping them safe and supervised.
“Gabriella has looked after Milo twice and has done a fantastic job! Milo looks forward to going to her house and is wagging his tail non stop when he realises we’re going to her house. He’s settled in very quickly and got along with the other dogs she had at the time. Would definitely be using her services again”
“Liu looked after Bailey whilst we were on holiday as a family and he had the best care. Liu provided us with constant updates and photos. Bailey was made to feel so comfortable whilst away from home which meant we did not have to worry at all. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Liu again and highly recommend her services.”

Chloe looked after Leo for a week and i couldn’t have left him in better hands. It gave me peace and confidence knowing that he was in the care of lovely people. I would definitely recommend Chloe to any sitters, provides regular updates and communication. I would definitely use Chloe’s again 😊
My two dogs are always well looked after by Laura and her partner. Laura makes sure that they are walked, comfortable and that they have their food. One of my dogs needs extra care and needs medicines and Laura takes care of that too. I can leave my dogs with her and know they are well looked after.
Claire looked after our Cockapoo for 4 days and we honestly couldn’t have been happier with her. He can be a little tricky around food and other dogs, so we were a bit nervous about leaving him. Claire was so reassuring from the beginning and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. When we picked him up, he was happy, settled and clearly had a lovely time. It was such a relief knowing he was being well looked after while we were away. We’d definitely book Claire again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable and experienced to look after their dog.
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
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

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Thurrock
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Thurrock on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .
