“Wow wow wow! When our usual dog sitter cancelled, we were really sceptical to find a new one. But honestly, Sarah and her family looked after Ottilie as if they were one of her own. She went on adventures to local cafés and local parks and is honestly the most tired I’ve ever seen her. Sarah provided photo updates everyday and Ottilie always looked happy. Thank you so much for everything! Ottilie loves her new toy! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
About: My partner and I have had pets for our whole lives. I have mainly had experience with smaller dogs and cats that crave the attention and love I provide, whereas my partner has experience looking after larger dogs such as staffs, huskies, and german shepherds. We both adore animals and have passion for pets that we rarely get to indulge in. We can't wait to take care of your pet in our home and treat them like our own. We usually wake up around 6am and go to the gym to be back in the house by 8:30. My partner works from home 9-5 whereas I am currently unemployed and have free time all day to look after your pet. If I do for some reason need to leave the house, it will not be for much longer than 2 hours, so your pet will always have someone close by. If morning pick up or drop off is needed, I am very flexible and will move my schedule around to fit your needs. I have an unfenced garden but have anchor points if your pet would like to go in the garden on a lead. I have a little Jack Russel terrier who is calm with any dogs in his presence once he has had a feel for their vibe. We don't have a crate, but we do have the space for one if you would like to bring your own, and we have a bath in which I can bathe your pet and trim or file their nails if you would like (this will cost extra).
“If you want your dog to be with a lovely family and well taken care of then choose Phoebe. I am so happy with the way she cared for my dog. We went away for 8 nights and I needed someone who was great with shy dogs as my dog is a rescue and can be a little unsure at first. We had never left him before so I was nervous, Phoebe reassured me and she and the family bonded with him straight away. I was sent plenty of update's and photos and he looked so happy. I will definitely be sending him back.”
“My first time using rover and Helen was absolutely fantastic ! You can tell her and her family really love dogs she made my dog Izzy very comfortable and the transition was amazing! I had regular updates and she cared for Izzy as if she was her own dog took her out for walks and even allowed her to have the same routine with sleeping so that Izzy was comfortable. I would highly recommend Helen to care for anyone’s dog she has knowledge and is just a really caring person who is kind and wonderful with dogs.thank you very much Helen I will definitely use your services again in the future thanks Claire and Izzy x”
“Kirsty looked after Spencer so well, he had a great time - think he’d have been happing staying! Plenty of activities, walks, playing and cuddles. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, and would definitely take him to Kirsty again. Kirsty also sent lots of photos and communication was really good! Very happy indeed.”
“Jack is just the best - the dogs adore him and are so comfortable with him. They run straight in and don’t look back! Lots of updates and funny photos. They’ll defs be back!”
“Emily was really helpful in the run up to having our retriever to stay, and I could tell our dog felt comfortable the minute she walked into her house so we'd definitely use her again. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Pixel stayed with Chloe for 3 weeks while I had a major operation. I must say that Chloe looked after Pixel beautifully especially since this was his first time away from me for this long. I would recommend her highly.”
“The absolute best dog sitters you could ask for. Elle and Tom looked after Oggie on our wedding day last Saturday. We met before-hand and it was immediately clear they are 100% the biggest dog lovers and the right people for the job! They came and picked him up just after the ceremony on the day which helped out so much. Honestly they are both wonderful people who were fantastic with our big boy! 10/10 I would recommend any day. THANK YOU.”
“Caradog is a very kind and considerate young man and after having taken care of freya for 10 days I have no reservations in recommending him or using him again. Freya is a very energetic young cocker spaniel with regular exercise and attention requirements and Caradog looked after all her needs.”
“Alice was absolutely brilliant with Derek yesterday. It was quite a last-minute booking, and I’m so grateful she was able to take him on — especially as there were a few little changes our end because of work, and she was so kind, flexible, and easy to communicate with throughout. We got lovely photo updates which made such a difference, and she was really reliable with timings too, which I appreciated so much. Derek clearly loved it — he ran straight in without a second thought, had a good sniff around, spotted a burger toy and made a beeline for it straight away 😅 then settled in for cuddles like he owned the place. You can always tell when he’s happy somewhere, and he really was. Such a calm, caring environment — we’ll 100% be booking again. Thank you so much, Alice”
“Louise and her dog Hugo were amazing with Max while we were away, specially in the middle of the heatwave. Louise kept us up to date on how he was doing, including photos and videos. He's a happy dog and will surely be back to stay with them in the future. Recommended!”
“Paraskevi was great at accommodating a last minute request after we had a cancellation. Honestly couldn't recommend her enough, she provided lots of pictures and updates about Jamie during his stay and he was definitely treated well :)”
“Totally recommend Sam! William had a great time making friends with Benny, definitely will use again. It’s great to find someone who understands dachshunds and their personalities which is a real plus.”
“Zhan & Lauren looked after Quinn wonderfully! They are responsive and we’re really happy to have a meet -up beforehand - it was Quinn’s first sleepover away from home, so we were a bit anxious, and Zhan & Lauren were very reassuring and put us at ease. We were kept updated with lovely photos & a video throughout Quinn’s stay, and Quinn clearly had a lovely time! He mastered the stairs he’d been a bit scared of, and got loads of lovely walks and tummy rubs! I can’t recommend Zhan & Lauren highly enough, and Quinn will definitely be back!”

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!
Phoebe looked after our dogs for six days when we went to Portugal, and she couldn't have been more caring and responsive to our needs, giving us lots of updates. It was so easy to communicate with her. I felt very happy knowing that our dogs were in her care, and I'd love to use her again in the future and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone else looking for someone to look after their pets. Thanks, Phoebe!

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!
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!
Thank you so much to Lillie and Ash for taking care of Barney for 2 nights. Lillie was amazing with communication and providing updates so we felt completely at ease the entire time. The experience from start to finish was just brilliant and it was lovely to know that Barney had Marvin (their Beagle) for company 🥰 Couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Vale of Glamorgan
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Vale of Glamorgan on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,363 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vale of Glamorgan. 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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
