“Lucy was incredible start to finish. We were unfortunately let down 5 days before our wedding and were left with no sitter for our lovely Alfie. We met Lucy ahead of the date with her gorgeous family and all our reservations and worries were put to ease. She’s been nothing short of amazing sending regular updates and pictures and saved us in a time of need! We would highly recommend Lucy and her family, they really did treat our Alfie as one of their own! What a stunning family! X”
“Francesca was very friendly, allowed two visits prior to Eddie and Charlie's stay, answered all my questions and left me feeling reassured. Francesca sent photos and messages whilst we were away which further reassured me that the dogs were OK. I would be happy to leave my dogs again with Francesca. Thankyou”
“Reggie loved his stay with Oliver. Oliver was great with him and is clearly very knowledgeable, it was a heatwave when Reggie stayed with Oliver and he looked after him very well. Oliver sent update with photos to let us know that Reggie had settled in ok and that he was being a good boy, which was very reassuring. We would definitely book with Oliver again.”
“I was very impressed with Ingrid and the care she gave Teddy. Communication was great throughout and prior to booking Ingrid even replied to my booking request whilst she was on holiday abroad! I was uncertain how Teddy would be with Ingrid's 7 month old female puppy as Teddy is not neutered but I was reassured by photos that all was well. When I collected Teddy from Ingrid he continued to give her kisses and cuddles whilst I sat talking, all of which is a good sign that Teddy was comfortable with staying at Ingrid's. Thank you!”
“I was a bit worried about leaving Myloe but he seemed at home at the meet and greet and when we dropped him off. Judging by the photos he seemed to enjoy himself especially with the children. However as Myloe is quite sensitive he did stress as he rarely away from at least one of us and had several accidents. Full marks to Amy who took everything in her stride and let us know how things were going. Thanks Amy for looking after him, trying to destress him and what probably felt like endless mopping up. Myloe came back happy from his holiday and we felt reassured he was being looked after well”
“This is the first time using a service like this and it’s definitely been the best I’ve felt leaving our Cavapoo Barney. Hayley and her family were great with him, I had photos and text updates and he had a lovely day out at the beach with them! Came back worn out! Thank you for taking such good care of him 😊”
“Megan was wonderful with Ned and so patient with us! You can tell that they really are dog people and treat your dog like their own. Will 100% aski be them to have Ned again in the future!”
“Lowri and her family looked after our two springers like they were their own. We had regular pictures of beautiful walks and updates on them. They were considerate of each dogs needs and we would love her to have them again.”
“Kristina was great. Welcomed Maggie to her home and gave time for her to settle in her new surroundings. Provided plenty of updates during her stay and looked as if she was enjoying herself in the numerous photos that was received. Would recommend Kristina as a good host.”

Bronwen made sure she kept his usual home rules and routine to avoid confusion. Would highly recommend and would definitely use again! Thank you”

About: Hi! I’m Santosh, an experienced dog lover dedicated to keeping your dog safe, healthy, and happy. I know every dog has its own personality, energy level, and daily routine. Whether your pup loves long, invigorating walks or prefers calm companionship and backyard playtime, I tailor my care to match their exact needs. Both my husband and I work from home, which means your dog will rarely, if ever, be left unattended. They will enjoy constant company, frequent attention, and regular breaks throughout the day. Morning: A brisk morning walk, fresh water, and breakfast following your exact schedule. Mid-Day: Mid-day bathroom breaks, playtime breaks, and casual companionship while we work. Evening: An evening walk to burn off any remaining energy, dinner feeding, and quiet wind-down time on the couch. Having two adults home full-time allows us to maintain a calm, attentive environment while easily sticking to your pet’s precise routine. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my absolute top priorities. Because both my husband and I work from home, pets in our care receive continuous supervision, eliminating long periods of isolation and ensuring a secure, watchful environment at all times.
“Thank you for looking after joy so well. The pictures showed how relaxed she was with you. Happily sniffing in your huge back garden and playing with your son. She had lovely time. Thank you.”
“We have had a brilliant experience with Beata! This was our first time using this website after only using Kennels in the past, and our dog has thrived during his weekend with Beata! Beata was friendly, caring and attentive with regular updates and pictures. We were unsure how our dog would be with other dogs but Beata is clearly a natural with introducing them and ensuring they are happy. We had an early start and return and Beata was able to collect and drop Alfie back to our home. Alfie came home well cared for, content and sleepy after plenty of playing and walks. Thank you so much Beata, Alfie clearly had a great time with you and we are so grateful. We would 100% book again in the future, and also highly recommend to our friends and family ⭐️”
“As soon as we arrived, I immediately felt like our dog Bertie was in safe hands. Bethan seemed like a calm and very capable dogsitter, even having a spare bed and water bowl for Bertie to make up for my last-minute chaos. We were sent texts and photos to reassure us how he was getting on. An excellent sitter.”

Abigail and Jose hosted our rescue pup for a trial night which was his first time staying away from home since we’ve had him. Their care and attention to detail was phenomenal and instantly made us and Tiggy feel safe and comfortable. So willing to work around our dogs needs and he had the most amazing time, he wanted to stay and go on another scenic walk in the countryside. ☺️
Ingrid was so lovely and helpful. She helped us out after we'd been let down last minute and needed someone to look after our dog during our wedding week. We'd never left Gizmo with anyone before but we were put so at ease and knew he would be well taken care of. We will definitely be using Ingrid's services again and highly recommend her to others!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,413 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across the city of Torfaen. About 89% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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.
Availability for collection and drop-off varies by sitter. Check the rates section of the sitter’s profile for any listed collection or drop-off fee. If no fee is shown, message the sitter to ask whether they can accommodate the request and whether an additional charge applies.
When requesting a booking, confirm the collection and return times, handoff locations, transport arrangements for each pet, and any additional costs.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 1,413 sitters in Torfaen, 67% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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.
