“Benji was so excited to return to visit Dominika. She greeted him with hugs and made a fuss of him so he was immediately comfortable. He was so well cared for and I will certainly use Dominika again.”
“Tammy was amazing from start to finish. She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. Tammy is friendly, reliable, and genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you again, Tammy – we will definitely be booking with you again!”
“We left our anxious/anti-social dog with Christine for the first time over Christmas. Christine was fantastic at making him feel settled and she provided us with frequent updates. We would 100% use Christine again and had a really good experience from start to finish. Thanks Christine! xxx”
“Just days before we were due to go away on holiday my existing dog care arrangements fell through. So I was so grateful to Diana taking Sephe at very short notice. Luckily we had just enough time to meet in advance especially as Sephe has never stayed with children before. I felt confident to leave Sephe with Diana as I could see from the visit that Sephe would be ok and pleased that everything worked out. I would definitely leave Sephe with Diana again.”
“Karen kindly stepped in to help us on the same day with very short notice. She looked after our dog with so much care and made sure he had a great time. We’re really grateful for her kindness and flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times – it made everything so easy for us.”
“Lauren was truly outstanding. She cared for my 1‑year‑old Maltese with genuine attention and warmth, treating him as if he were her own. From the moment I dropped him off, she made sure I felt completely at ease. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire dog‑sitting period — regular updates, photos/videos, and quick responses that kept me fully reassured.She paid close attention to his routine, his temperament, and his little quirks, making sure he stayed comfortable, happy, and well‑looked‑after. It was clear she understood how important it is for owners to feel confident when leaving their pets, and she went above and beyond to provide that peace of mind.I came back to a relaxed, content dog, which says everything about the level of care she provided. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Briana was absolutely brilliant with Daisy. It was Daisys first time stopping over and Briana truly made it a home from home experience for her. Daisy returned to us a very happy little beagle …thanks Briana we will definitely be booking again x”
“I can highly recommend Mark & Sue for the superb way in which they looked after Harley for 9 days while I enjoyed my holiday. Knowing he would be happy and well looked after made me feel happier too, it’s like home from home for him now. Will be booking again when I next need someone reliable and loving to look after him. Thank you, love from Harley & Sue xx”
“Rachael treated Mollie our little Shih Tzu with the same level of affection and care as she treated her own dog- what more could I ask for! She was very helpful at all points of contact and I felt very much at ease knowing she was caring for Mollie, Many thanks Rachael.”
“Jas and Natasha took such good care of our Rottweiler and put us massively at ease while on holiday. They really treated her as their own and we will 100% be booking on with them again. Can’t recommend enough.”
“Benji seemed to thoroughly enjoy his stay with Saran, this is our first time using Rover and Saran made us feel at ease. She sent photos and videos of Benji and followed the instructions about his care.”
“Sharlene and her partner Ste are absolutely fantastic. Sharlene provides regular communication consisting of photos and general updates as well as extremely fast response times. Our pug Graham got the chance to spend two nights with their own pugs and a few other furry friends. Graham came back to us, clean and happy - we will 100% be booking again for our next trip!”
“Milo had a wonderful time with Katarzyna and her family. Milo is probably the most energetic dog in the world and I'm sure he wore everyone out. We can't thank you enough for having him for us. He can't wait until his next stay.”
“We booked Sylwia for the first time on Saturday 27 June 2026 to look after our 5 year old Labrador, Otis. We had a pre meet a few weeks prior. Sylwia was great ! Great communication when we first made contact and she sent us photos of Otis's stay. He was happy and his usual self when we collected him the next day. We would definitely book again. Thank you Sylwia ! ❤️”
“Excellent stay for our Frank. We love how settled Frank is at Phillippa’s home, he’s treated like one of the family which puts us right at ease. Thank you so much 🩶”
About: I’ve always been passionate about animals and have gained experience caring for dogs through working in kennels and at a dog daycare, dog walking and completing an animal care college course. I’ve cared for dogs of many different breeds, sizes and personalities, and I love getting to know what makes each dog unique. I also study dog body language and behaviour, which helps me understand dogs better and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also train dogs using positive only methods and provide enrichment through play, and one-to-one attention. My goal is to give every dog a happy, relaxed home-from-home experience where they can stick to their routine and feel loved while they’re away from their family. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate my time and planning according to your baby and their needs. I enjoy creating a routine that works for each individual dog, including play, enrichment, training sessions and plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a strong interest in dog behaviour and body language, which helps me understand each dog’s personality, comfort levels and needs. I’m happy to follow each owner’s routine, including feeding, commands and habits, so their dog feels settled and comfortable. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel reassured that their dog is happy and well cared for. The safety and comfort of every animal in my care is my top priority. I care for my own pets by providing a safe, clean environment, a consistent routine and making sure their individual needs are always met. Because I have a strong interest in animal behaviour and body language, it helps me understand each animal as an individual and see and understand their needs. I’m passionate about positive training and believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical stimulation, building trust through patience and communication. I have even trained my own cat to learn tricks and basic obedience! 😂 My home has a large, secure fenced garden, giving dogs a safe space for supervised play, enrichment, toilet breaks and training sessions. I work around each dog’s routine rather than expecting them to fit around mine, including following their normal feeding, sleeping and comfort habits. If a dog is crate trained and their owner uses a crate as part of their normal routine, I am happy to continue this while they are in my care. On top of all this I provide frequent updates with pictures and videos of your fur babies so you can see how they’re getting on ❤️
“Jack has a fantastic day with you guys! He’s come back happy and shattered. Great to be able to book him in at such short notice, much appreciated and you guys have been great. Photos during the day put our mind at rest, and he had a fab time!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Walsall is £30

Diana accepted our booking as a last minute request which we were very grateful for. After reading the great reviews we felt more comfortable leaving Buster in her care. We had regular updates and Diana was responding to messages swiftly. On collection we can see Buster has had a great time. We will definitely be booking with Diana again when we need to, Thank you so much Diana
Rachael treated Mollie our little Shih Tzu with the same level of affection and care as she treated her own dog- what more could I ask for! She was very helpful at all points of contact and I felt very much at ease knowing she was caring for Mollie, Many thanks Rachael.
I can’t recommend Michelle and Jason enough! It’s so obvious they genuinely love dogs—Henry was completely spoiled and treated like family. I loved getting all the photo updates while we were away; it totally put my mind at ease to see him looking so happy. Henry honestly had the best time and is already waiting by the door for his next stay with them. Cannot thank you both enough 💖
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Kacey and partner. From the very first message she was friendly, reassuring and genuinely cared about making sure Mylo and Marlie felt at home. She kept us updated throughout their stay with lots of messages, photos and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was lovely seeing how well they settled in and how much fun they had playing with her dog. They were clearly treated like part of the family and absolutely adored. We’ll definitely be booking with Kacey again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and loving home from home for their dogs. Thank you so much for looking after our two so well!
Lily had the time of her life. Alex and Christie integrated her straight away with their family and included lily in everything from school runs to leisure pursuits. We would thoroughly recommend them and their lovely family home to anyone wanting to have their dog extremely well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Walsall on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,431 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Walsall. 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 West Midlands 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 .
