“Ludo had a great time with Ela for two days doggy day care. Ela clearly loves dogs, I have no doubt Ludo was well cared for with nice treats, cuddles and walks. Ela was so flexible to accommodate our short notice request, she took the time to meet Ludo in advance of the booking, and communication was great. Thanks Ela!”
“Buddy has his first week with Lee and he really enjoyed himself. Always very excited to go in and okay for me to leave him. When we pick buddy up and he goes home, he is shattered, sleeps all night. We would highly recommend Lee for doggy day care! He will be our regular dog sitter now as we feel very relaxed that Buddy is being looked after very well.”
About: From the age of 6 my family adopted a dog and I walked and cared for him. Since then I have always loved dogs and their very individual personalities. Every time I visit my father in Spain, I happily am the one who cares for his dog. I am currently looking for work that I can do online, so that when I do have work, I would also be able to be home with the dog. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I usually visit a friend to work on an art project, although should you require a full week of dog sitting, book in advance and I can rearrange this. The dog would have access to a fenced garden. There are a few parks locally where the dog can also relieve themselves and exercise. Dogs being pack animals do love attention and I love to pet.
“First visit and Marley was clearly happy when we collected him. Vanessa clearly has a good understanding of dogs and observant to his behaviour. More than happy to leave him with her in Jan.”
About: I am self-employed, which gives me a lot of flexibility with my availability and hours. I also have two animal-loving children who are at nursery and school during the day, allowing me plenty of time for feeding visits, companionship, playtime and check-ins 🐱💕 I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their cats are safe, comfortable and well cared for while they are away. I always make sure pets have a calm, clean and secure environment, follow routines carefully, and give them plenty of attention, reassurance and fuss. I am respectful of owners’ homes and will always keep communication open with updates and photos if requested 😊
About: We absolutely love experiencing and exploring new places with our doggies (as you'll see from the photos). I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and my first career was in veterinary nursing, which I practised for five years before welcoming my daughter into the world. Although that was some time ago, my background has given me invaluable experience in animal care, including administering medication, recognising changes in behaviour, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I now work in a school, which gives me plenty of availability during school holidays. My husband works from home, so there is usually someone around to provide company, supervision, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Our home is shared with our two friendly and mischievous Mini Goldendoodles, Philip and Wilbur, and our cat, Pumpkin. We offer a warm family environment with a secure walled garden, patio area, and spacious reception rooms with plenty of room for play, relaxation, and the occasional zoomies. We also have two animal-loving children (aged 8 and 11) who enjoy helping to give visiting pets lots of affection and attention. Every dog is different, so walks and activities can be tailored to suit their age, energy level, ability, and individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls, playtime, or simply a cosy place to relax, we will do our best to make them feel happy, comfortable, and part of the family while they are with us. I work part-time in a school, which means I have plenty of time available for walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the week and during school holidays. My husband works from home full-time, so there is usually someone around to provide supervision, attention, and plenty of fuss throughout the day. We are fortunate to have access to beautiful local beaches, woodland walks, and open fields, allowing us to tailor each walk to suit your dog's age, energy level, and individual needs. Most dogs can enjoy two walks per day, typically ranging from 40 minutes to an hour, alongside garden time, enrichment, and plenty of cuddles at home. Every dog is different, so their routine can be adapted to ensure they are comfortable, happy, and getting the right amount of exercise and stimulation. Whether your pup enjoys energetic adventures or gentle strolls, we'll make sure they feel right at home with us. On the weekend we love exploring and going for days out as a family, furries and all! We have a fairly big house with lots of space for relaxing, play and zoomies, accompanied by decent sized, grassy garden and patio area. We have plenty of room for your dog to be crated if desired. Our dogs are all friendly and your pet would be treated like one of the family.
“Our whippet, Cleo, had a lovely day with Jade. Jade asked lots of questions and made sure she had all the important info for looking after Cleo. She took her on a lovely walk and sent us photos so we knew she was happy and settled. Cleo looks forward to returning!”
About: Dogs have always been my world. From raising my own border collie to caring for others, I’m relied on for love, reliability, and peace of mind. I work part-time from home, so I am available to give your pup as much attention and time as possible! I will do a morning and afternoon walk, with plenty of playtime in between! I have a fenced and secure garden with plenty of space! My border collie Max, who is very friendly, would also love the company. This is a smoke free home, and my partner and I take good care of our home and our pets wellbeing and safety.

“Carly was incredible. I couldn't have asked for more for Pilchard. She was so kind, patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. Pilchard isn't the easiest of pups at the moment and is in full puppy stage but she got him to nap, gave him lots of exercise, sent beautiful photos, and let him spend time with her lovely children which he clearly loved. He was a very happy, content pup when I collected him. Thank you Carly, I can't tell you how much I appreciate how well you cared for him.”
“Ernie’s waggy tail on arriving at Jacqui & Ralph’s home showed that he knew that he was going to have a fun day playing with their dogs. The videos and pics that Jacqui sent me during the day showed that Ernie did have a great play day 🐶”
About: I have had dogs within my family since i was a young child, they are great company and ive always loved being around them. In recent years i have looked after family and friends dogs whilst they go on holidays , work trips etc. i heard about Rover through a friend who suggested i should turn my dog sitting services into a little buisness, so here i am! Im currently in the process of completeing a Dog training/sitting course , then going onto First aid for pets . I currently home school my daughter who is 12, she also has a love for dogs and is always more than enthusiastic when looking after family and friends dogs . We are at home the majority of the week. I live in a quiet area , where there is plenty of calm space to walk dogs , whether its around the houses or a big field 5 minutes walk away, there is plenty of fellow dog walkers along the way. i also have an ample sized , grass garden that is partly decked .
“Molly was great with Freddie. We came down for a holiday down to Paignton and Molly took care of Freddie for the day which was really helpful. Her communication and photo updates were very much appreciated”
About: I have had dogs snd cats since I was little. I have looked after and walked people’s dogs since I was 18 and I love bonding with different breeds and ages of dogs. I currently live with my partner and his family and we have 6 of our own dogs…we’re a bit dog mad! They also do dog sitting and walking, so I have a lot of experience! I have helped train puppies I’ve looked after in the past and also helped care for dogs on the older side. I adore all animals and would be happy to look after yours if needed! I am free most days, Monday to Friday but also happy to pet sit over weekends. I provide dog walking from 10am - 4pm on weekdays I live in an old farm house with a huge fenced off garden. Dogs are allowed free range of the house most the day but will be shut in separate rooms at feeding time. They have constant access to the garden and will be able to toddle off in the house and find somewhere comfy to chill out!
“Indie was so amazing with Molly. Really kind and professional and I really appreciated the pics/vids sent to update me how she was doing 🥰 Will definitely be using her service again in future ✨”
“5 stars! Bridget and Nick along with their adorable pup Presley made Stanley's stay a great one. Stanley was immediately comfortable with them and their beautiful home, and the enclosed yard is a major bonus! I enjoyed the text updates and pictures they sent to me, but mostly the level of comfort I have leaving my precious buddy in someone else's care!”

Susan was a life saver! Lol! We had just moved house one week (& 2hrs away from our dog sitter) before our Son's passing out ceremony at BRNC and although the apartment I booked up for the day before accepted dogs, they chucked us out at 10am! Luckily Susan came to our rescue answering a call out on Rover from 1am that I put on! She looked after our dogs on the passing out day and had a lovely, large home with a fully gated and fenced in front garden. Our dogs were completely happy for the few hrs she looked after them and she even took them for a little walk for us too! I would thoroughly recommend Susan to anyone looking for dog care. Thank you once again Susan, you really helped us when we were in need!
Hayley was great with Bonnie, and I felt confident leaving her there for the day. She sent lots of photos and I could see Hayley and her family were treating her as if she was there own and the she was relaxed and happy. Will definitely be bringing her back again, thank you so much!
Claude very much enjoyed going to Georgia. He was very settled straight away. Georgia kept us updated throughout the day, sending lots of pictures and videos. Definitely recommend using Georgia if you need someone to look after your dog. We will be using her again. Thank you.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Torbay on Rover is £18.4 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 320 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Torbay. About 89% of Torbay 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 Torbay 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 South West 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 .
