“Doggies had a great day with Laura, lots of pics of their time there and going for a nice walk. They've both crashed out tonight and are fast asleep, shows how much fun they had. Highly recommended.”
About: I've been around dogs for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with a dog has taught me how different each one is, and I really enjoy getting to know their individual personalities. When I was younger, I even started a little dog walking business in my local area because I loved any excuse to spend more time with dogs! I have These days, I regularly look after friends' and family's dogs whenever they need a hand, whether that's for walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, so I'll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I'll treat your dog like they're one of my own, so you can relax knowing they're in safe hands. I have had experience caring for elderly dogs, dogs who have just undergone serious medical procedures and puppies, so I have a range of experience that allows me to provide the right care for your friend. I have a flexible schedule thanks to my zero-hour hospitality job, meaning I can dedicate lots of time to looking after your pet. I’m an active person who enjoys daily walks and being outdoors, so I’d love the opportunity to include your dog in my routine. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’d love to provide your pet with plenty of care, companionship, and attention, whether that means exciting walks, playtime, comforting company, or regular check-ins. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I’ll always adapt my care to suit their individual needs and make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I’m happy to offer pet sitting in my own home, but I especially enjoy caring for pets in their own environment where they feel most relaxed and secure. Keeping their familiar routine and surroundings helps them feel at ease while you’re away.
“Milos second time with Nicole & he had a really good time. Milo was well looked after and has seemed to have warmed up to Nicole and her family. Nicole kept to his routine and let me know how he was doing during the day.”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing and we have found a sitter for Milo for life! (Or for has long as she’ll take him - he’s a very hyper pooch!!). Before we booked Milo in, Nicole asked us to go round to make sure we were happy with everything and that Milo and her beautiful dog Nala got on - and they did! Milo has found a playmate for life 🥰 We were kept updated throughout the whole day with pictures and videos and Milo has come home absolutely shattered which is always a good sign.”

“Kevin is an excellent dog sitter and his children are great with our dog too. Our dog seems happy and relaxed with him every time. We always receive updates with photos and videos, which is perfect. We had to book last minute (again, sorry) and he made himself available, so helpful (thank you again for that). Communication is great and he replies promptly every time. Highly recommend!”
“Daniel was brilliant and highly professional throughout. He responded promptly to messages and kept us updated with photos of our Levi. We would definitely recommend his services and will be using them again in the future.”
“We have ran out words to describe how good choco has been kept. Choco did throw up during his daycare and he was cleaned and kept well and always informed. Choco is so happy to go and stay in Lea/ Lucas home 🏠.. They keep a gps update of the walks done and send videos/ photos throughout the day.”
“We’re so grateful to Nita for stepping in at very short notice to look after our dog, Leo. She welcomed him into her home and made him feel completely comfortable and cared for. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Nita clearly has a natural way with dogs, and Leo settled in right away. We’re really looking forward to booking with her again in the future, highly recommended!”
“Excellent dog sitter. Tanvi was very caring and loving towards my Lottie and I know she got lots of hugs and attention. I was a little worried as Lottie does get anxious when I’m not around but the photos showed how relaxed she was with Tanvi and her husband. I would not hesitate to use her again. Thanks Tanvi ?❤️”

“Natalia was absolutely amazing. It was my first time leaving my 14-week-old puppy with anyone, so I was a little nervous, but after meeting her and seeing how she was with him, I knew I’d made the right choice. From the meet-and-greet to the actual day, she made me feel completely comfortable. On the day itself, Natalia sent lots of photos and videos, took him out for walks, and gave him so much love. I think we’ve found a match made in heaven!”

I always make sure food, water, litter boxes, and living spaces stay clean and well maintained, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.
About: I currently have a doggy who has been teaching more than I ever expected. It'd be great to have her around other dogs and improve her socialisation. I spend a lot of time at home so I generally have availability throughout the day, therefore, I'm able to be attentive and meet various needs. I have a fenced back garden and plenty of room in my house to accommodate larger animals. Easy access to open space for walking outside.
“I left Rusty with Gabi for the second time and he had a lovely day. He was looked after really well on an extremely hot day and came home tired and happy. It's such a relief to have someone you can trust to take care of your fur baby!”
“Katie has once again been a great sitter for my Milo! Everytime I pick him up I feel guilty because I know he’s had an amazing time! She kept to his schedule & actively engaged him into different things, even some activities that I hadn’t tried before (thanks for the tips!).”
“Luna spent the day with Diana and she had a fantastic stay. I picked Luna up happy she was well exercised and I was kept up to date with lots of pictures throughout the day and she made another furry friend. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for dog sitting.”

Murphy absolutely loved his time with Clare, he’s had a full day of love, play and affection , full on tail wagging and big smile when we picked him up. Highly recommend , we have already rebooked Murphy in for an overnight stay. He has come home a very tired and content pup. Thank you again Clare for taking such good care of our boy :) xx
Absolutely fantastic! Our little girl is normally anxious but Laura worked with us to set up a play date. She had a great time and came home ready for a sleepies ☺️ We received videos and photos of the day, not only was our girl smiling, it made us smile too. Very communicative and reassuring throughout.
This was the first time I have ever left my pup with someone outside of her own home and as you can imagine I was incredibly nervous about it. I needn't have been! Emma is such a lovely lady and took such good care of my little girl. She was even kind enough to meet up before hand to put my mind at rest and Erica was so excited to get into her front door the next time! I had regular updates throughout the day and really made me feel sure Erica was being looked after and loving her day! Thank you so much 🥰

There are 15,424 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Thurrock. About 87% of Thurrock 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 Thurrock 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 .
