“Jenny and Chris are really lovely people and it’s clear to see that they love dogs very much. Our girl Mabel was very happy at their home, had lovely long walks and lots of cuddles. Jenny stayed in touch and sent lots of photos to put our mind at rest that Mabel was happy and contented. I would definitely recommend Jenny and Chris and wouldn’t hesitate to ask them to care for Mabel.”
About: I’ve always had a keen interest in dogs and cats, from walking dogs from around my local area to feeding the strays and getting them vet treated. I sleep and dream of animals, I love each and every animal and truly believe I'm blessed to have any kind of pet. I have worked with large and small pets and nothing is too much trouble, I thrive from being in such an environment. I have experience with young and senior cats/dogs. I have a clean DBS and currently work from home as legal advisor, I have lots of time to share! I am first aid trained and can administer medication. I’m currently a work from home mother as a legal advisor, I fit my life around my work needs with the flexibility my job does allow me. I wake early, and welcome anyone on an early schedule. I feed the animals and like to walk any dogs before there sun fully comes out especially summer months. I provide healthy snack options where diet restrictions are not an issue such as fruit and vegetables or a fun broth popsicle. Animals are entertained and I don’t skimp with supervised toy play. Winding down for the evening, meals are prepared and walks are taken into consideration. I have plenty of land around for excellent nature walks and at times take dogs out in the bus to get to more scenic areas! I can provide bedding and bowls as I do have plenty any additional requests are most welcome. I have a large fenced garden and three doors including porch which keeps any animals safe and secure during day hours and night time. Dogs are free to roam throughout the home unless pet parents have a preference. I shall respect any boundary requirements to the full extent to support with on going training.
About: A loving, patient and experienced home-from-home for dogs and cats. I’m a huge animal lover with a real soft spot for both dogs and cats. I appreciate everything about them — their little personalities, their quirks, their loyalty, their independence, and the joy they bring into a home. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to care for and spend time with many animals, both at home and during my travels. My profile includes photos of some of the wonderful dogs and cats I’ve looked after or met along the way, as well as testimonials from people who have trusted me with their much-loved pets. During my time working overseas, I worked closely with local animal shelters in my spare time, helping to care for and rehabilitate some of the most vulnerable dogs. That experience taught me the importance of patience, trust, gentle reassurance and understanding that every animal needs to feel safe in their own time. I know that no two pets are the same. Some dogs need playful energy, long walks and adventure, while others need calm reassurance, patience and a softer approach. Some cats love attention and company, while others prefer space, quiet and time to settle. I will always take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality and comfort levels so they feel safe, happy and cared for. I currently live in a child and pet-free home due to regular travel for work, so I’m really looking forward to welcoming animals back into my home and giving them the love, attention and comfort they deserve. Whether your pet needs a walk, day care, an overnight stay or a longer visit, I will treat them as if they were my own. Your pet’s happiness, safety and routine will always be my priority, and I’ll do everything I can to make sure they feel relaxed, loved and completely at home. I work from home on Weekdays and will be available various Weekends also. Please ask me any questions you have. I know your pet is super important to you so having your mind at ease whilst they are here is super important to me. My home is currently child-free and pet-free, offering a calm and relaxed environment where your pet can feel safe and settled. I also have a fenced garden, giving dogs a secure outdoor space to play, stretch their legs or enjoy some fresh air. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves playtime, or prefers a quiet, cosy space to rest, I can adapt to what makes them feel happiest. I’ll give them attention, affection and reassurance when they need it, while also respecting when they may need a little space and quiet time.
“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”
“I think Chris is a secret dog whisperer! She is so experienced in caring for your dog that it really does make you feel Iike they have a home from home. My cavapoo is quite anxious and sticks to me like Velcro at home, she was not phased by this at all. Would highly recommend!”
“Michelle and her family looked after our dog Rosie amazingly for us. Rosie was treated as their own during her stay and was taken on walks and outings every day. Our dog has medical issues which require a tablet regime but Michelle handled this perfectly and kept us constantly updated with messages and pictures. By the time we picked up Rosie it was clear that she felt very at home in their house and was very relaxed with all members of the household. Thank you Michelle for helping us feel completely at ease with Rosie being away from home and for looking after her so well!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life and believe dogs are not pets but family members. Your dog will be in the safest of hands and will be spoiled rotten, whilst you're away. My dog goes to doggy day care, when I go on holiday so I understand how people feel when leaving their family member behind (this isn't easy to a lot of people). I have my own dog and i've looked after family members, since the age of 21 (when they go on holiday). I've had and looked after a variety of dogs from Cockapoo to Staffy's to Grey Hounds. Currently have a 10 year old Cockapoo, that doesn't tend to have an interest in other dogs. Your dog will be walked, allowed on the furniture and beds and they won't be left on their own. I can bath them (at an additional cost) if required. They can also sleep on the bed or you can provide a crate, if this follows their usual sleeping arrangement. Currently work Monday to Friday so my availability is for weekend stays only. During the weekends, I will always be in unless i've notified you of anything different in advance. I have a fenced garden and live a 2/3 minute walk to a large park. I'll be in all weekend so no pets will be left alone. Your family member can sleep on the furniture or our bed. You can provide a crate for them to sleep, if this is the usual arrangement for your dog. Have access to the whole house. If I wanted to take your pet anywhere, I will always request this with yourself first.
“Karen is a reliable and caring dog sitter. She kept Mollie happy and relaxed while in her care. I felt completely confident leaving my dog with her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving sitter.”
“Alex & Christie were amazing. My dog was very anxious staying with them and they arranged to look after him at my house while I was away. This was very last minute but they put my dogs anxiety first. Alex came to visit my dog regularly and put Dave(my dog) at ease. Highly recommended. Would give 6 stars if possible!”
“Buster has just finished his second stay with Briana and he loved it once again! He seemed very happy to be back and once again Briana was brilliant! With a photo update that is always reassuring. Thank you again!!”
“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!”
“Phillipa and her family were excellent with our little shitzu for the weekend. Very professional, attentive and kept us updated with photographs throughout the weekend. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter for their pooch.”
“100% positive recommendation for Jozef and his family. Our dog Charlie had love and attention during his stay. We had the warmest of welcomes on our pre stay visit and left fully confident and trusting in their care. Jozef sent us pics and messages during the day. Charlie is a newly adopted dog with limited eyesight so we wanted him to have special care which he truly did. A lovely family and we will not trust anyone else now with Charlie. Thank you Jozef”
“Kira & Max absolutely loved staying with Tahra, a perfect home from home where all their needs (& extras) were met ☺️ I was very comfortable leaving them in Tahra’s capable hands, such a lovely, kind & experienced person who is absolutely a genuine dog person. So glad I’ve found Tahra for Kira & Max 🥰 thank you so much.”
“Hiu Ling was amazing. We left our kitten with her for 4days and it was the first time we were leaving him. She did a meet & greet with us a few days before we were going to drop our kitten off to her. She was very polite and she also has 3cats of her own. Our kitten has never interacted with other animals so we were a little hesitant about this but she reassured us and we felt better knowing she has plenty of experiences with cats. She sent us up to date videos and photos throughout the 4days and took very good care of our kitten. Simba came back to us happy and healthy. She is someone we will use in the future.”
“Loki has had an amazing holiday with Jas. Very friendly sitter. Plenty of updates throughout our holiday. Was definitely a home from home stay. Loki was very happy from the moment he arrived. Definitely will use Jas again for my baby. Thanks again Jas from one very happy doggy owner.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Dominika. From the moment Raven arrived, she kept us updated with lovely messages, photos and videos every day, which gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear Raven was being treated like one of the family—making friends, enjoying plenty of exercise, and getting lots of love and attention. Seeing how relaxed, happy and settled she was throughout her stay meant the world to us. We picked up a happy, healthy dog, and we’ll definitely be booking with Dominika again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Raven—we highly recommend you to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter! ❤️🐾
Michelle and jason and daughter were absolutely brilliant with Our 3 shitzu's were loved and cared for like they were their own,we got regular updates and photos which was brilliant. Highly recommend them they are a lovely couple aswell. Will definitely be using them all the time. Thankyou so much michelle & jason X
We booked with Diana as a last minute request after reading her excellent reviews and we couldn’t be happier. We had regular updates and we could tell Coco was having a great time! Diana was great at assessing Coco’s behaviour and recognising how comfortable she was with other dogs in her space. We felt at ease as soon as we dropped her off. We will definitely be booking with Diana again when we need to!
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 1,387 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 .
