“Rosie had a wonderful time with Sarah and Kevin while we were away on holiday. We did a meet and greet beforehand, which was great as it meant everything was familiar for Rosie when we dropped her off. They also took the time to ask about her usual routine and kept to it while we were away. Rosie had plenty of walks and was clearly very happy and settled. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos and loved seeing what she’d been up to. Thank you both for making it a real home from home for Rosie while we were away.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and current owner of Seamus the Sprockerpoo. I grew up with collies and labradors, and I love going on long, energetic walks. I'm currently on teacher summer holidays so I'm available throughout the day for walks, toilet breaks and meal times, I can cater to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced garden with a friendly male sprockerpoo for company, with quick access to the canal for walks. Dogs have access to the whole house.
“Matthew was excellent with my dog, Luca. I immediately got a sense of calm when I went to visit before her stay which is important for her as she can be quite anxious, but I knew from then on that she would have the best time, especially when Matthew asked if she liked long walks. You can tell they are a family of genuine dog lovers and they went out of their way to make sure that Luca’s stay was as enjoyable as possible. I highly recommend Matthew!!”

“Louis was cared for very well by Nicola. She had a clean & safe environment for Louis. He was walked no matter the weather which I’m sure he thoroughly enjoyed. I was kept up to date with picture and videos where he looked nothing but happy. He’s come home content, calm and clean! Nicola bathed Louis from his walk which just shows how caring she is. I will 100% be using Nicola again! She even dropped him home. Thank you so so so much 🩷”

Absolutely amazing from start to finish — 10/10! Sonny was looked after so well and came home happy, settled and clearly had a brilliant week. Communication was great, there were absolutely no issues whatsoever, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Updates and pictures were sent to me everyday which was great. 😊 I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would 100% use Ka man again. Highly recommend! 🐶❤️

Thanks again to Eva and Mike for helping us with looking after Pebbles in the chaos of the days out during the school holidays. Pebbles was looked after and in her usual loose routine and was a very happy and settled dog in their company and house. I would highly recommend both Eva and Mike xx

June and Dave are absolutely lovely and provided a true home-from-home experience for our dog, Bonnie. She spent a week with them in July and was so well looked after. We received regular photo updates showing just how happy and settled she was, and their communication throughout was excellent. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. Thank you both so much – we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you!
Many thanks Dawn for looking after Theo while we attended our sons wedding. Theo is a massive part of our family and to know he is being looked after so well, with special care and love, allowed us to enjoy our special day. The photo updates of Theo enjoying his time with you, were great and so ensuring knowing he was so happy and contented. Thanks again Dawn, we will be in touch when Theo next needs his time away, John, Xxx
Megan was great with Albie. We met beforehand and Megan showed me around her home and where Albie would be staying. We also met her dog to check they got along. (He's lovely!). Communication was great and Megan was really flexible. It was Albies first time with a sitter and he seemed to be really happy and settled. Thanks Megan and Tom!
Thank you Maisie for taking great care of Caesar like he was your own. I got regular updates with pics and could see Caesar was having a great time. Lots of sniffy walks :) You took the time to understand his usual routine and adapted to his needs when he needed to eat chicken and rice. I wouldn't hesitate to rebook with you in the future.
Amelia and Loui did an amazing job of looking after Ethel. We are really pleased with the level of care given both before the booking and during Ethel’s stay. They included her in there day to day activities which is brilliant… sorry you ended up carrying her ! Ethel Was clearly happy at their house which speaks volumes. Fantastic couple who clearly love dogs and do a great job. Highly recommended . Thanks Ben & Emma

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Trafford on Rover is £34.5 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 2,868 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Trafford. 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 North 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.
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 .
