“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.”
“I have used Nicole a few times before. M dog, Leo, is excited when we get to her house. She is consistent; flexible when I’m running late and she sends pictures of his stay. I like her sitting my dog.”
“Nita was so bubbly and welcoming when I took Leo to her - she immediately put my mind at rest. Her little dog was part of the welcome too. She was very understanding about unavoidable changes to the schedule and very flexible. Leo was very happy when I picked him up and tired out for the rest of the evening.”
“This was the first time using rover and leaving our frenchies with new people. Lea and Lucas made us feel so at ease, kept us regularly updated with messages and photos! They really made sure Peppa and Frank felt at home. The dogs looked like they had a great time from the updates and when I went to pick them up. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much, highly recommended!”
“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.”

About: Hi, I’m Jordan! I’m a full time professional dog carer based in Greenhithe, Kent. Caring for dogs isn’t just my job, it’s my passion and lifestyle.

I provide a home from home environment where every dog is treated like part of the family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles on the sofa or simply relaxing, your dog’s happiness and wellbeing always come first. As pet care is my full time occupation, dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of love, attention and supervision throughout the day. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality and individual needs to help them feel comfortable, settled and happy during their stay. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax and enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Why choose me? ✔ Full-time professional dog carer ✔ Home-from-home environment ✔ Dogs are rarely left alone ✔ Regular photo and message updates ✔ Tailored care to suit your dog’s needs ✔ Trusted by returning clients and recommendations If you’d like to see more of what we get up to, including daily adventures, photos and updates from our guests, feel free to visit my Instagram page: Nothing means more to me than knowing owners feel confident leaving their dogs in my care. I look forward to welcoming you and your four legged family member! Pet care is my full time job, so my entire day revolves around the dogs in my care. From walks and playtime to feeding, enrichment and plenty of cuddles, I make sure every dog receives lots of attention, exercise and companionship throughout the day. Because I’m home full time, dogs are rarely left alone and can settle into a relaxed, loving environment. Your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities. I provide a safe, calm and loving home from home environment where dogs can relax and feel comfortable. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine and individual needs, and because I work from home full time, dogs are always closely supervised and rarely left alone. Regular updates and photos are sent throughout their stay so you can have complete peace of mind.
“Tanvi was looking after Pedro for 2 full long days and she’s been amazing! She’s been updating us constantly on how he got on, sent pictures and videos throughout. And even though he’s been a little naughty devil, nothing was too much for Tanvi. Pedro is a new addition to our family and we were quite nervous about leaving him for the first time, but he’s been looked after so well that I wouldn’t hesitate leaving him with Tanvi again. Thanks so much! ❤️🐾”
About: I have an extensive history of working with dogs. I have owned working therapy dogs and have been working at a dog sanctuary for the past 2 years, handling dogs from all walks of life and all sizes. Dogs give so much love voluntarily and deserve that back. I insist dogs are walked for a good few mikes daily unless medically incapable. I will ensure they are fed to your specification and will follow any behavioural instructions you may have in place to ensure continuity. I am open to any questions you may have or to alleviate any concerns you may have. I am freely available for any pet care needs all I ask is for the advanced notice stated. I also have to collect my son from school on a Wednesday and every other Friday so the dog would need to be ok for a short period of time alone. I have a gated garden and a big field and woods near by. I can crate your dog if required. I am flexible and will work around your needs. If boarding, then dog/cat would need to be dropped and collected from my property.
“Tania looked after Cheeku on the 10th June, Cheeku displayed some separation anxiety when I dropped him in the morning but she distracted him which settled him soon. She provided me with regular updates throughout the day. Cheeku was very happy, his usual self when I picked him in the evening. Tania was also very flexible and accommodating with the drop off and pick up times. Very satisfied, will surely use her services in the future”
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.
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I’m patient, dependable, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, basic grooming via my daughters groom room, giving lots of attention, and keeping routines consistent. I understand how important pets are to their families, and I’ll care for them with kindness and responsibility. Pet care is already part of my daily routine since I care for 5 cats of my own. I’m used to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular check-ins, updates, and lots of love and patience for your cat while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and stress-free. Along with caring for my 5 cats, I also care for my elderly dog who takes 2 medications daily, so I’m familiar with senior pet care, routines, and giving medications responsibly. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I take time to help them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. 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.

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 🥰
Jessica has looked after my puppy Bam-Bam a few times now, and I’ve been really happy with the care she provides. She’s attentive, kind, and genuinely engages with him. Bam-Bam always comes home settled and happy, which gives me peace of mind. He absolutely loves spending time with her dog Milo — they get on so well, and it’s lovely knowing he has a buddy while I’m away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a sitter who truly treats your dog like her own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Thurrock on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 15,442 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Thurrock. About 86% 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 .
