“We were a little apprehensive leaving our little lady especially for an overnight stay but we didn't need to be. Dominka kept us updated with photos and took care of Kyra like she was her own. We will certainly be booking in with Dominka again and we know Kyra will be well cared for and enjoys Shogo's company too! Thank you Dominka for making her feel part of your family xx”
“Michelle, Jase and Ella looked after my precious Cash for 2 nights/3days. I was so particular about finding the right family to care for him and was prepared to go the extra distance if I found them. I am so glad that Michelle became available because straight from the meet and greet I just felt that Cash was going to be nurtured with love and care. Everything was right. Michelle followed the guidance I’d sent, she sent updates and photos throughout. I could just see that Cash was living the dream so much so I wondered if he’d want to come home! He was so chilled when I went to get him and I could just tell what a positive experience he’d had. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cash with Michelle, Jase and Ella in future. Thank you so much guys 😘😘😘”
“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.”
“I would highly recommend Mark and Sue, they are a very caring couple and made Harley and I feel very welcome, it was like I had known them for years, nothing was too much trouble for them. I’ve never left my fur baby Harley with anyone before, so booked him in for a sleepover before my main holiday at the end of June and he was more than happy to stay with them, he was loved and looked after as if he was their own. I know I can go off on my holidays knowing he will be very well looked after, it will be home from home for him now. Will definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a loving home to look after their pet (fur baby). Thank you both from Harley & Sue xx”
About: I’ve looked after all different breeds of dogs for years, with experience in different temperaments and health issues. No dog is too much trouble :) I work from home so the dog will never be alone, I will work around your dogs usual schedule including feeding, walking and sleeping times depending on how they would normally live their lives so nothing has to change for them. I have a secure garden with grass and patio for whichever your dog prefers to use, the home is completely dog friendly and there are no restrictions on where your dog can go in my home.
“We have used Chris multiple times now to look after our 2 cavapoos. Both are classic “velcro dogs” and even for us it can be overwhelming at times. Chris however is not phased by this and is happy to accommodate any needs you have to make your dog feel like they are at home. Both dogs are very picky eaters and on the most recent occasion she was so helpful in trialling new foods with them and letting us know which seemed best for them. We found it very amusing that on arrival to collect them, our dog was running round with her sock, which is exactly what he does at home! Thanks Chris. See you again next time!”
“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.”
“Slinky had his first sleep over with Nicky and her family last night. I was updated throughout the time he was there, and could tell he was having a great time (pretty sure Nicky’s dogs will be pleased of the peace and quiet now he’s gone) Thank you so much x”
“Bella has had a amazing time with Saran, lots of walks cuddles and fuss time. Saran kept me updated with photos and texts which made us happy knowing Bella was comfortable. Would higher recommend an will definitely be using Sarans boarding again. Thanks again 🙂”
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 20 year from my families to neighbours and other peoples from small dogs to large dogs. I absolutely love looking after dogs and if they get dirty I will even bath them to make them shine for the return. I am a stay at home mum two 1 but goes on losts of walks and park trips more out going on long walks out in the open I have fencing all round, lots of toys for them to play with so never get bored. I have a dog of my own. Ruby a cocker spaniel so will always have a fury friend to play with. Lots of space and lots of treats for good doggy's. And trips to the park and open field for plenty of excersise.
“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!”
“Had a trial overnight booking to see how my dogs would be as never been away from us before. Was out completely at ease and received video updates. Can’t thank you enough. Now gives us the opportunity to go away and trust that our boys are in safe hands. Will definitely be booking again !!”
“Jack always loves going to see Yoko! Another lovely day there for him, he’s definitely enjoying himself and she always sends me such fantastic photos of him. He gets on with their dog so well, he gets excited now when he knows we’re there!”
“Phillipa took very good care of our dog Lola. We received photo updates and could clearly see that Lola was enjoying her stay and having a good time 😊 thank you 🐾”
“Couldn’t recommend Sylvia highly enough. Leaving your beloved pet wth a stranger is daunting but Sylvia treated our dog Pudding like her own. The regular updates and photos gave us peace of mind and as it was clear to see Puds was enjoying herself. I would definitely use Sylvia again and Puds simply adored her.”
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 ❤️

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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Walsall
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 .
