We received picture updates dialy, which put us at ease having never left our dog with anyone else other than family. I would highly recommend and would definitely use this dog sitter again. Many thanks Lucy and family. 😀”
“Oliver has been such a wonderful dog sitter! Flexible, super responsive, kind and so generosity with our dogs. I’m especially grateful given the last minute booking, we will definitely be using Oliver again. Cooper and Molly are especially grateful for the chicken filled trip to the cafe.”
“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.”
“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.”

“Frankie is 16 year old dog so I do worry about him while I am away. When I returned for holidays Frankie was a bundle of fun so obviuosly had been well looked after. He was even allowed to sleep in Aggies bedroom. I highly recommend this service.”
“Karen is an amazing sitter, can’t sing her praises enough! Prada was super nervous when I dropped her off but Karen was super patient and worked on getting a bond with Prada really well and always kept us updated. Prada had a blast with JoCee and the 2 puppies. Will definitely be booking another dog holiday with Karen ♥️”
“Georgia was absolutely amazing with Ronnie! He is my whole heart, so I was naturally worried leaving him when his eyes and ears haven't been great, on top of managing the heat. But Georgia treated him like her own from start to finish. She kept me updated with lovely photos and videos, kept his eyes and ears so clean, and Ronnie had a lush time with her lovely dog, they got on amazingly well! Knowing my boy was in such loving, capable hands meant everything to me. Highly recommend and will 100% book again!”
“Caitlin was really good with Frank. He can be a bit nervous first meeting people but he immediately went to her and seemed comfortable in her home! Frank was very happy when I picked him up and had a great time. I will definitely use Caitlin again in future 😁”
“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. ☺️”
“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...”
“Piper had a great overnight stay with Amanda, can tell she had lots of cuddles and she came back happy! Booking was easy and Amanda was kindly very flexible on timings for drop off. Good communication, will definitely book Piper in for another stay.”
“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.”
“First time using boarding and can't thank Sean and his partner for looking after our dog, pearl, especially at short notice (as attending my mum's funeral) Sean has been amazing! Messages and pictures sent throughout the evening and morning, showing her out on walks and settled within the home. Pearl has always been overexcited when we pick her up from the kennels but this wasn't the case today, she was very calm so know she must have felt safe and settled staying with Sean and his family. Thanks so much again Sean! Would highly recommend”
“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!”
“Gloria took such good care of Winnie. We picked Winnie up and she was very happy. My husband said he could tell Winnie had fallen in love with Gloria. Gloria kept us up to date with Winnie and helped Winnie settle in a new home. Highly recommend for dog sitting.”
About: I adore dogs. I have experience caring for a wide range of breeds, from large dogs like Great Danes, Bloodhounds and Lurchers to smaller breeds such as Chihuahuas and, now, my own French Bulldogs who I co-parent with a family member. So my dogs are with me twice a month. My father brought me up with dogs, he had seven greyhounds and lurches so I’ve always known a home full of dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality, exercise requirements, temperament and way of communicating, so I always adapt my care to suit the dog in front of me. Whether it's a long walk for a high-energy dog, a slower pace for an older companion, or plenty of play, affection and reassurance, I want every dog to feel safe, happy and loved while they're with me. Dogs are a passion of mine and one of my biggest interests. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and take great pride in making sure they're well looked after, comfortable and treated as if they were my own. I work from home so I will be at home to give your fur baby my undivided attention! Please get in touch if you have any questions. Thank you, Charlotte Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and part time, which means I have the flexibility to give dogs the time, attention and exercise they deserve rather than trying to fit them around a busy schedule. Walks, playtime, enrichment and cuddles are all things I genuinely look forward to. I love getting outside, whatever the weather, and I'm happy to tailor each day to suit your dog's routine and personality—whether that's an energetic adventure, a relaxed sniff-filled stroll or simply keeping them company at home. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can also provide plenty of toilet breaks, stick to feeding and medication routines, and make sure your dog never feels rushed or left alone for long. I'll care for them as if they were one of my own, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my own home or in their owner's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed and loved. I know that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, favourite activities, quirks and any specific care requirements before they stay with me. I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible, from feeding times and walks to play, rest and bedtime. I believe dogs thrive on familiarity, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and mental stimulation throughout the day, while always respecting the boundaries and training their owners have put in place. Communication is really important to me too. I'll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, settled and being cared for as if they were part of my own family.

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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Torfaen on Rover is £31.05 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 1,365 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Torfaen. 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 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.
