“If you are looking for dog sitters who will love your dog as deeply and genuinely as you do, Janie and Derek are quite simply everything you could hope for and more. From the very start, they went above and beyond. They met us at our home first so we could chat and get to know each other properly and then invited us to their beautiful home so we could see exactly where our dachshund, Ralphie, would be staying. They immediately put us at ease, warm, open and welcoming and it was incredibly reassuring hearing them talk about their own experiences with dog sitters, and how they understand just how hard it is to leave your pet when you’re away. While we were away, Janie and Derek kept in touch with daily updates, photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the way they spoke about Ralphie that they had really taken the time to get to know him and all his little quirks. Seeing him so relaxed, happy and cuddly with them made our worries disappear, especially when we discovered he’d even earned cuddles on their bed! They didn’t just look after Ralphie, they truly loved and cared for him as if he were their own. We came home to a happy, content dog, which says more than words ever could. Janie and Derek aren’t just dog sitters, they are genuinely special people and finding them feels like winning the dog sitter lottery. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Ralphie again, and we already can’t imagine anyone else looking after him. Ralphie didn’t just stay with Janie and Derek, he was treated like he was their own, loved, understood and completely at home, and that is all any dog parent could ever ask for. They provide genuine care, affection and peace of mind. If you’re reading this and wondering whether to book them — stop wondering and book them. You will never regret the best choice you will ever make for your pet!”
“Hugo had a wonderful time staying with Lucy, Luke and family. I received loads of updates and photos over the weekend. Hugo absolutely loved it. When we have used kennels in the past, he cries the minute we pick him up but after picking him up from Lucy, he was the same, happy bouncy dog. He has high energy but Lucy managed to tire him out and I have no doubt beautiful Gwen, their puppy labrador, helped too. I would never return to normal kennels after this experience. It was home from home for Hugo. Thank You! Would 100% recommend. 🤎”
“Our Autumn 🍂 went to mels today , she was so spoilt and was treated like their baby .. 3 walks today abd even went to Pets at Home and mel bought her a toy .. Autumn has fallen in lucky with mel and im so blessed with findin mel, and her gorgeous husband josh ❤️”
“Dora appeared to have settled in quite well with Sophie and her lovely family straight away... I was very happy to have left Dora after an intentional introduction visit, Dora was fussed by both Sophie and her daughters and made very welcome.... I would recommend Sophie and will be using her service's again in the future...”
“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!”
“Julie was absolutely fantastic and made both me and Buster very welcome in her home. This was the first time I had ever had to leave Buster with strangers but, made me feel completely at ease and kept me updated throughout the duration of the booking. Not only did Julie take care of him but it was very clear that he had had fun there and even met a new friend.”
“Georgia was brilliant with Woody! Over the past few days he’s had the best time playing with her lovely dog, Smol, and going on plenty of walks. It was clear from the updates that he was happy, well cared for, and treated like one of her own. Georgia went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and entertained, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again, highly recommended!”
“Lucy was brilliant, it was the first time we had left our fur baby, Lucy made us feel so comfortable, she provided loads of pupdates and her own dog Edie is a real sweetheart who was best friends with our dog in no time ! Would thoroughly recommend Lucy to anyone. Thank you and we will be back soon!”
“Dougie stayed with Amy and her family for a week in May whilst we were abroad. Amy arranged a meet and greet to help Dougie get to know their family and took great care of him whilst we were away. Would 100% use Amy again and highly recommend!”
“Amanda was absolutely fantastic and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She is a very kind, warm and caring person who took excellent care of our two Jack Russells. Will definitely be using her services again. Nel and Daisy thoroughly enjoyed their stay!”
“Karen was brilliant with Pearl. She was very understanding of her needs. We got regular videos & updates. Pearl came home very happy & will definitely be returning 😊”
“My big German shepherd/malinois stayed with Alisha and Sean. They cared for him beautifully and they took the time to understand what he needed. They very much allowed my boy to feel right at home. Looking forward to his next stay with them in October :)”
“Absolutely amazing! So lucky to have found Frithia! From the second we walked through the door she was so warm and friendly and clearly had loads of experience with dogs. Our cocker had a fabulous time we were kept up to date with how he was doing and even received some nice pics of him out on his walks . Thank you so much for looking after our fury baby highly recommend xxx”
“Needed a dog sitter at short notice after being let down at the last minute a few days before we went on holiday. We could not have asked for better as Crystal & her family made our Roxy feel so at home. Had daily updates & photo's which was very reassuring. I would high recomend Crystal as I found her very caring & professional.”
“Excellent dog boarding with frequent and clear communication. Lots of updates and videos on how Smokey was doing. Also very accommodating with his meal times, medicine, and walks. He loved staying with Gloria and will definitely be back when next needed :D”
“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. ☺️”

I knew myloe was going to be fine and as soon as he got to Sophie's because he started to explore. He settled straight in. I'm not sure he wanted to come home. He seems to have had a great time playing with the children and Sophie was really caring. He's come back home tired out which is a good sign that he's enjoyed himself. We will be booking Sophie again soon as we're very happy with the service she has provided

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!
Tanya and her Husband Finbarr, were great sending us plenty of videos and pictures of Dewi's stay, Dewi didn't want to leave, We would defiantly ask Tanya to look after Dewi again if and when the occasion arises. Watching the videos we could see that they both looked after Dewi as if he was theirs, which was nice to know Dewi was being loved as he is a very loving dog. Many Thanks
Rachel and her partner looked after our two pups like they were their own. We went on holiday for two weeks, Rachel had the puppies for 5 days and walked them for us in the first week while they stayed with family. They are both so lovely and kept us updated with photos and messages, gave them so many lush walks, wouldn’t hesitate to use her again! Thankyou so much both.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Torfaen on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of July 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 .

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 Wales 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 .
