“Elly was super accommodating and agreed to look after our two dogs for the first time at short notice. She took great care of them, kept us updated with pictures while we were away and they came home super chilled and relaxed (which is unheard of!). Would definitely recommend Elly and plan to use her again.”
“Diane was fantastic with my cockapoo, Oakley. Very informative while i was away by sending photos and messages keeping me updated. Oakley.was very relaxed for a nervous dog. I would highly reccomend 🙂”
“Mollie was brilliant with Rusty from start to finish. From the start, her communication was clear and reassuring, both before and during the stay, which really put us at ease. When we picked Rusty up, he seemed happy and relaxed. It was obvious that she genuinely understands dogs, including their individual needs and little quirks, and took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”
“We decided to book Ewa's home boarding services quite last minute when our original plans fell through. We were quite apprehensive at first, as we were worried our 1 year old schnauzer would be too much to handle and wouldn't settle with Ewa and Patrick's dog JJ. The whole time we were away on holiday Ewa kept us updated on Cole with lots of pictures, videos and messages on what he was up to and how he was during the day. The frequency of communication between us really put us at ease as we hadn't done anything like this before. We were really pleased to know that our dog Cole was so well behaved and seemed to have a lovely time on his own little holiday. I would definitely recommend Ewa's services to anyone, she is very professional and a lovely person who you'd be happy to leave your pets with. I would book Ewa's services again anytime in the future if her and Patrick are avaliable. Thank you for everything!”
“Helen did a wonderful job looking after our dog, Hollie, for a few days over Christmas. She was caring, reliable, and clearly attentive to Hollie’s needs and sending several photos of Hollie out and about on walks. We felt completely at ease knowing Hollie was in good hands, and it was clear she was well looked after and happy when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen and would be very happy to ask her to look after Hollie again.”
“Absolutely brilliant. Seren looked after my dog Rupert for the week and he was very well looked after. Had lots of updates and pictures of his time which was lovely. Will definitely use again.”
“Jeff and his wife were absolutely brilliant with Derek. They kept us updated throughout his stay with lovely little videos and photos of his adventures by the lake, which made such a difference and really put our minds at ease. Derek is our one and only little dog child, so leaving him is never easy, but it was clear he was happy, relaxed and having the best time. They have such a lovely home for dogs to stay in, and you can tell they genuinely care about every dog they look after. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Derek in with them again. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
About: My husband and I currently have an 11 year old cockerchon who is friendly with other dogs and with humans. We’ve previously had a bichon for 10 years prior to that. My husband and I are both retired and so have lots of time for dog walks. We have fields at the end of our cul-de-sac for local walks. We also regularly go to beaches and other parks around Cardiff. We have a safe enclosed rear garden which is dog friendly. We also have a dog flap for smaller breeds! We happy to take dogs that are friendly. We would want to meet your dog along with ours prior to confirming the first booking. We’re retired, so are able to be around for your pets and give them regular walks. We’re happy to feed them as per your instructions. We have a safe fenced garden which is dog friendly. We have experience in also looking after friend’s dogs. We’re happy to have dogs upstairs with us at night if this is what they’re used to. We’ll send you regular photos of your dog to put your mind at rest.
“Mac had a great time with Jack and Dexter. I will definitely be asking Jack to look after him again and would highly recommend him for boarding. Mac was relaxed and happy when I collected him.a great find on Rover”
“Sara was brilliant! Our dog is pretty big and very high energy so can be difficult to handle but it looked like he had a great time with Sara and her dogs. We got tons of updates, photos and videos which was great. Would 100% recommend!”
“Sophie looked after Ted and his sister at quite short notice. Sophie was fab in all aspects of the planning and visit and we will definitely use her again. We were keen to arrange a visit before their stay and Sophie was able to accommodate this. Sophie was lovely with us and the dogs and listened and was eager for info to make the stay go as well as possible. We were really happy to leave them with Sophie as she quickly understood their personality and their needs, rather than imposing her approach / rules on their them. Thanks Sophie.”
About: I have been surrounded by dogs my entire life and come from a big family of pet owners, making dog care second nature to me. I'm proud to be a truly safe pair of hands for dogs of all sizes, from large breeds to small toy dogs. Family and friends always trust me with their pups when they go on holiday, knowing they'll get a loving home environment. Plus, I live right by huge parks, so your dog will get plenty of fantastic walks, fresh air, and dedicated attention while you are away! I work weekdays from 8 am to 4 pm as a tax advisor, but your pup will rarely be alone! My partner works from home 2 to 3 days a week, providing excellent midweek availability and continuous company. On the weekends, I am fully free and readily available for dog walking and boarding services, even on short notice. Whether it's a structured midweek routine or a last-minute weekend stay, we can easily accommodate your pet's needs. We live in a wonderful flat that features a completely private, securely fenced garden. Because it can only be accessed directly through our back door, it provides a perfectly safe, controlled environment for your dog to explore and roam around freely without any outside interference. Our home is also situated right next to a massive park, making it absolutely ideal for long, fun daily walks. Your dog will enjoy a peaceful, secure home away from home with plenty of outdoor time!
About: I’ve got a 1-year old Cavapoo that absolutely loves other dogs. I take him for at least 2 walks a day, sometimes three, being very active myself and situated within a short walk to two parks. To me dogs are too good for us humans. I believe their good nature should be rewarded with love, affection, walkies, cuddles, and all the belly rubs they want. I’m self employed and work from home so they’ll never be left on their own for long, if at all. I’m home most of the time, being self employed and working from home. When I do go out, I tend to bring my own dog with me so I know all the dog-friendly places. So just as my own dog Edgar is well looked after, so will your beloved fur baby. I have a fenced in garden and a three bedroom home which is fully open to your pup. I have a small crate if needed and all the necessary things since I have my own small dog.
“Rhian looked after my two dogs with upmost care, it can be hard to find someone trustworthy and who can understand the unique ways of two very different dogs. She worked around the hot weather to ensure they were walked at the coolest points of the day and sent photos and updates. I would feel confident leaving my boys in her capable hands again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a quiet home boarding environment.”
“Thank you so much Khalid as it was short notice. Khalid is a lovely young man my dog was so happy to be with him, he has a very caring nature. I was Updated on how my Maddie was doing. I just can't thank you enough. Kim & Steve and Maddie x”
“What an amazing sitter! Beata was so kind, friendly and accommodating to me and Fidget! A lovely home with a wonderful big garden. She has a wealth of experience with dogs and Fidget clearly had an amazing time! Thank you so much!”
“Vivian is a WONDERFUL dog sitter. She took great care of our elderly Labrador & sent lots of updates while we were on holiday for a week - thank you :) Highly recommended”

Alice made Willow feel safe and secure, like a home from home. Willow is a sweet dog, loves to be close to people for cuddles and tickles and she got that and more from Alice. Willow has a few quirks to her nature but Alice managed her well We would definitely use Alice again
I cannot thank Jeff enough for looking after my little doggy. Their lovely home and warm welcome to us made me feel very at ease leaving my dog with him. Photos received throughout the day so I knew she was in good hands Would very happily use again! And Lola had a great time too
Phoebe and her family were superb! Really reassuring and accommodating of my last minute request. Phoebe was really thorough with checks which was really reassuring when it came to leaving Barney with somebody that I hadn't met before. Her set up is beautifully set up for looking after dogs, she has a cute little sleeping area and loads of dog toys which put Barney at ease straight away. I'm super grateful and would highly recommend!
Emily was great with our dog Sandy! Sandy stayed with Emily for a week whilst we were away. Emily sent us updates of Sandy and photos. Emily listened to everything we told her about Sandy and took her on lovely beach walks. Sandy came home happy and with a waggy tail which she didn’t when we used kennels in the past. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough! Thank you Emily! Would definitely use again!

Danny & Georgia were absolutely brilliant! It was our first time leaving our puppy, Bodhi, for an overnight stay and we were a little anxious, but they immediately put us at ease. Bodhi and Dougie got along so well, and Bodhi seemed settled and comfortable right from the start. Danny kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos throughout the day, which we were so grateful for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

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 .
