“Rebecca made me feel so at ease from the very beginning - it being my first booking on Rover. She kept me informed and updated throughout the sit and I was sent loads of pics showing just how relaxed Tommy was in her care. I booked her again that same week! Will definitely use again and am so glad I found someone I can trust.”
“Balloo had a great weekend with Sarah, we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Sarah kept us up to date with how Balloo was doing and all the fun things like making new friend with Sarha’s grandson, which I know Balloo loved, his new doggie friend Daisy who he seems to be his best buddy. He had walks and played in her garden lots of cuddles snuggling up and her grandsons lap. I would recommend Sarah highly.”
About: I am new to Rover however, as a Dachshund owner myself and having had and looked after dogs my whole life, I will provide your pet a safe, warm and loving home whilst you are away. I only accept one Dachshund at a time. I will only have one Dachshund at a time so your pet will have my full care and attention alongside my own pet. I provide day boarding or cover for holidays. I have one miniature Dachshund called Rosie so your pet will always have a gentle play mate to have fun with. I will always try to match your home routine eg breakfast time, length of walks, favourite treats etc so that your sausage will settle and feel at home. I am within a mile of a reputable vet if any medication is needed. A meet and greet is welcomed before you decide to commit to a booking with me. I have a secure fenced large garden and plenty of beautiful countryside on hand if your pet would like additional walks. My house is single storey and there are no areas that your pet is not welcome…even on the couch! I have plenty of toys and bedding but I’m happy for you to bring along whatever you need for your pet to make them feel at home. If required I send pictures and updates whilst you are away so you can relax and enjoy yourself knowing that your pet is having a wonderful time too!!
“Jasper had a really great stay with Jamie! Can really tell they’re dog lovers, they kept me updated with videos and pictures & Jasper looked like he had an absolute ball with George! I had a very happy & tired dog. Would absolutely recommend, thank you again! 🐾”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and owner of a big, very lovable Labrador, so I know just how much our dogs are part of the family. I’m confident with larger dogs, enthusiastic walkers and those who are particularly enthusiastic about food! I’m calm, sensible and reliable, and very happy getting out for a proper walk rather than simply doing a quick lap around the block. Most importantly, I know how much trust is involved in leaving your dog with somebody else. I’ll look after your dog as I’d want someone to look after mine, with plenty of attention, affection and reassurance, and I’m always happy to keep you updated while they’re with me. I have two cats so any dog coming to stay needs to be on good terms with cats and does not chew furniture! I work from home, so dogs can fit very naturally into my day. They’ll have company throughout the day, access to the garden and a proper lunchtime walk, usually in one of the two parks close to my home. My own Labrador is always around too, so there’s plenty of opportunity for play, company and snoozing afterwards. I have a safe, fully fenced grassed garden and a friendly five-year-old Labrador who loves having company. Dogs are welcome to make themselves at home and will be treated as part of the family while they’re here. I’ll follow your usual routines around feeding, walks and rest, and I’m very happy to accommodate individual needs. I would always want our dogs to meet first to make sure they’re comfortable together before their first stay.
“Sarah took an amazing care of Berni and we can highly recommend her! Berni was happy and comforted and I it looks like he had a great time with Sarah! Very good communication. We will book Sarah again.”
“Liam is a wonderful dog sitter, considerate and thoughtful, sending lots of updates. We feel very lucky to have found somebody who cares for our dog and we trust implicitly”
“Ana made sure Roxy had a holiday of her own! I received so many beautiful photos and felt so happy knowing she was taken care of so well. Would definitely use Ana again.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Anya is a true dog lover, and made Olga feel right at home. I got regular updates and photographs of Olga out and about, snuggling in Anya’s bed, and huddled together on the couch with the family. Would recommend 100%, and will definitely be sending Olga there again”
“Karolina was amazing!! Barney was given lots of love and care whilst staying at Karolina’s house. He was part of the family and have lots of lovely walks!! Would highly recommend Karolina. Thank you for taking care of Barney!!”
“Joanna and her bf were wonderful hosts and super lovely. They have an adorable dachshund that’s close to Cosmo’s age too. We met for a play date 2 days earlier to introduce them to one another and it went well. Joanna was also knowledgeable in general Spitz behaviour which made me more comfortable. Cosmo has separation anxiety but she kept him company whilst ensuring she gave him his space when he wanted it. She kept me up to date, sent me photos, and was responsive. Glad Cosmo made new friends and will definitely visit again! 😊”
“Lovely couldn’t recommend more he came to us very last minute picked my dog up and dropped him home and sent us updates during the day my dog arlo had the best time with him would definitely recommend!”
“I couldn’t have asked for more! Julie was incredible and Poppy adored her. I got regular updates and photos and felt confident that my little girl was being well cared for while I was gone. Would recommend Julie to anyone and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future. Thanks again Julie xx”
“I was quite apprehensive to leave Winnie with anyone other than friends or family as she tends to be a little nervous, But Lucy put me at ease straight away. Her communication and updates were amazing, and I knew Winnie was being so lovingly cared for while I was away for work. A true 5-star doggie holiday! I’d absolutely recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a calm, home-from-home experience for their pup 🐾💛”
“Lauren was fabulous. I needed someone in an emergency. She took Dixie while I was in hospital. Dixie got spoiled rotten. I would take her back to Lauren in a heartbeat. 💗”
“Would highly recommend Bryony and Matt. They had Milo for a long weekend and I felt so at ease and comfortable, they treat Milo like he’s their own and kept me updated. Milo gets very excited to them. Thank you x”
About: We are a semi retired couple and our beloved black Labrador left us a few years ago. We love dogs and have the time to provide a temporary home - all dogs welcome. We have a big detached house with a secure garden. Our friends all have dogs and regularly call on us to dog sit. We are both mainly retired so have plenty of time on our hands to look after a dog (our adult kids are also dog lovers and would probably come home just to help out. We don’t really have a fixed routine so can provide flexibility if we are around. We are however on holiday a lot so can’t always be always be available. We have a big detached house with a secure garden. If you have a crate you are welcome to provide this alternatively we can throw down a dog bed in a choice of rooms. We have a footpath right outside our front door leading to many adventures.
“Chrissie is absolutely wonderful. Rolo stayed with Chrissie for the first time for 3 nights this week and he obviously had a wonderful time. I got lots of pics of him out on his walks and at home with the family and snoozing peacefully. He returned home very happy and relaxed and straight into his normal routine. Huge thanks!”

Samara looked after my dog, Freddie for 11 nights when we were away. She and her family looked after him really well and he came back happy and healthy. He is a little needy like most cockapoos but she reassured me he was settling in well and gave me updates while we were away. We would use Samara again.
Joanna and her bf were wonderful hosts and super lovely. They have an adorable dachshund that’s close to Cosmo’s age too. We met for a play date 2 days earlier to introduce them to one another and it went well. Joanna was also knowledgeable in general Spitz behaviour which made me more comfortable. Cosmo has separation anxiety but she kept him company whilst ensuring she gave him his space when he wanted it. She kept me up to date, sent me photos, and was responsive. Glad Cosmo made new friends and will definitely visit again! 😊
Verity was able to help us out very close to the week we needed her, which was just fantastic. The dogs were excited to see her again after our meet and greet and spent a lovely week with her. Communication was great too. I’m sure our dogs would like to stay with her again!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Natalie looked after our young cocker spaniel beautifully. Communication was excellent throughout. She was quick to respond to messages, reassuring, and kept us fully updated. We came home to a very happy puppy! We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Natalie.
Flora (and Griffin) were absolutely outstanding in the level of care and attention they gave Holly over the Christmas holiday. Holly is normally a very shy and timid dog who takes a while to trust strangers but, in a very short space of time, Flora literally had Holly eating out of her hand. We were so impressed - and relieved!! We were sent tons of short video clips of a happy Holly in various key activities. The house was brilliantly set up for looking after dogs with a lovely garden and high walls. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Flora to anyone anxious to find top quality dog minding. Thank you guys!! Mike, Sarah and Holly
Thank you so much for taking such lovely care of Bitey while I was away! She came home happy and clearly well looked after. It’s always a bit nerve-wracking leaving her the first time, but Annika sends daily updates, which really put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend you to other dog parents.
Jakub and Luka and their little French Ivy took fantastic care of Louis. You can tell instantly that Jakub and Luka not only love dogs but are also very experienced dog handlers. They are so friendly and relaxed and made me feel very at ease. Louis had a great time. They provided regular updates and I’ve taken away many tips as well on how to improve Louis’s diet and food! I would thoroughly recommend Jakub and I hope to be able to use them again! Gaby
Rebecca was exceptional with our puppy Maple. She had the most wonderful time and returned to us better trained than when we’d left her! We would definitely trust Maple with Rebecca next time we go away, knowing that she’d had a wonderful time in excellent hands!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Tonbridge on Rover is £42.45 per night (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 11,531 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Tonbridge . Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
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 .
