“Miriam was excellent with Dash. He is a young, strong and excitable pup (currently 7 months). She made Dash feel at home and was able to give him the running and playing that a GSP needs. We’re very grateful to Miriam and Dash will definitely use Miriam’s services again.”
“Chloe was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Communication was fantastic and so helpful! Roxy our German shepherd isn't the easiest but Chloe made me feel confident and comfortable leaving her and did a fantastic job with her and us keeping us up to date with how she was doing! I highly recommend and would definitely use again! 😊”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience working with dogs through my previous professional dog handling background, which has given me confidence in caring for a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable looking after energetic puppies, larger breeds, and older dogs who may need a gentler pace and extra patience. What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every dog, I treat each one as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well looked after while in my care. I pride myself on being reliable, calm, and attentive to every pet’s individual needs. Due to Army commitments, my standard availability is weekends. However, with sufficient notice, I can often accommodate weekday bookings. My day typically starts early with a morning walk from 6:00am, followed by regular care and supervision throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive a lunchtime walk, an evening walk, and plenty of attention in between, with additional toilet breaks, garden time, and play sessions provided whenever needed. I tailor each dog’s routine to suit their individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, well-exercised, and cared for throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my priority. I live in an enclosed area with a small fenced garden for safe outdoor time and toilet breaks, and I also have easy access to the nearby old airfield for longer walks and exercise. Every dog in my care is treated like family and looked after in a safe, loving environment.
“Excellent sitter Karen and Mark are truly fabulous and so attentive to Coco, she has a really good time playing with Alfie and Jake. Highly recommend as always. Coco has stayed numerous times with Karen and loves it. Do not hesitate to book this sitter.”
“If I could give George 10 stars, I would. He's an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! He went above and beyond to take good care of Jasper. We highly recommend George -- and would book him again in a heartbeat.”
“Steven was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I recieved lots of photos and regular updates. He also went above and beyond to make sure Indy felt at home and had a wonderful stay, with lots of walks and pampering! I would highly recommend and will certainly be rebooking with Steven again.”
“Chiara was fantastic with our nervous boy, she had a great understanding of how to make him feel comfortable and relaxed, looked after him with fireworks and did everything she could to make him feel at home. Could not recommend enough!”
“Could not fault Sally and her partner at all. They looked after my Labrador for 5 nights and they kept me updated, send me pictures and were sure quick with responses. I can tell Hector had the best time and was looked after with so much care and also lots and lots of love! Will definitely be rebooking with Sally and could not recommend her enough!”
“Thank you Yhozmin & Uli for looking after Wilson. The picture you sent across showed he had a great time with you and the family. I would recommend the service to all!”
“Charlotte and her family made our boy so welcome, looked after him so well and he came home a very happy boy after a lovely stay with them. Great communication and it was really helpful to have a meet and greet before the stay. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Nadja was absolutely AMAZING!!! Bruce was super well looked after and received lots of love and cuddles on top of all his needs being fulfilled. She sent us pictures and updates every evening and honestly, I was worried Bruce will not want to go back home with us😂 He had the best time and is now bestie with Nadja’s spaniel Rolo🥲 He’ll be staying with them again in couple of weeks and i’m sure that will not be the last time!! Thank you so much Nadja🥰🙏🏻”
“It is very difficult to quantify how incredible and sweet Andreia and her beautiful family are. I could talk about how wonderful she was with our “less than easy” Spaniel, but there are so many other aspects of Andreia that makes her quite special. We had numerous complications with our holiday plans including a very last minute postponement as a result of American bombing in the Middle East. Andreia took it all in her stride. In summary, I would dare to suggest that if you are lucky enough to have Andreia take care of your dog, you can count yourself lucky.”
About: I’ve had 4 dogs and 2 cats in my lifetime as pets and I have volunteered at a rescue center and pet sat for neighbors and friends for over a decade. I have experience with timid and shy animals, helping them find their comfort and confidence. I am nurturing and have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home the majority of the week. I’m currently working a 9-5 job that is mostly from home. I stop in on the morning visits around 7-8am to give breakfast, then again for a midday check in or walk on my lunch break. I then go around when I’m off work, by 6 or 7 pm to serve dinner and a nightly walk or play session. This is my standard routine, but is tailored for each client during the meet and greet. I have a fenced in garden that is huge and clear for your pet to run around and play. My child is very used to cats and dogs, as she has visited with my mums dogs and is used to having pets we take care of come around. We have places in the house for your pets dog bed or crate, so they have their own space, but are happy for them to be on the furniture as well.
“Lisa and her family are amazing. Our girls had the best time. They loved their little holiday and it was so nice leaving them and knowing they were happy. Thank you Lisa!”
“It was a tough decision for us not to take Razz along for our 5 weeks abroad - but it was the right one. Jerry, Amy, their lovely kids and Rex showed her a brilliant time. She even accompanied them on their own holidays. She was well loved and cared for with exciting days. We got regular updates and pictures which put our mind to rest. We will book with them again in an instant and Razz will be thrilled to come back to play 🐕”
“Cathy is a lovely, warm, A* boarder. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was getting all the care and love he's used to. He had a great stay with her and her own 2 adorable dogs. Would recommend her wholeheartedly and will definitely be booking again.”
“We’re very pleased with our little dog’s stay with Monika and her family. He was treated with great care and attention . She sent us some lovely pictures while we were away. When we picked him up it was clear he’d had a very happy time and we would highly recommend Monika.”

George was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend boarding at his home. He was super responsive and very accommodating and mindful of Indy's requirements as a 12 year old greyhound. We did an intro with George's dog Daisy prior to Indy's stay, to make sure they got on and well, they had a blast - Daisy is a delightful and very happy pooch. George sent through regular updates and some lovely photos that were taken on a visit to a pumpkin patch. Indy was very much treated as part of the family and clearly had a wonderful time. I will be booking another stay soon!
A wonderful stay again at George's Hotel and Spa! Indy was a bit out of sorts with the thunderstorms and George took it all in his stride and managed to settle her in no time. She really has found a second home, and George is now very much my go to sitter! Thank you again :-)

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 East of 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 .
