It was Rita’s first time with Yewen and Ollie. They made her so very welcome, went on walks, played ball and I was sent pictures and videos of the time she spent there. Thank you Yewen, we will see you next week

About: 💛 Pet Care Experience 🐾 Hi, I’m Nicole — a loving pet sitter and proud mom to a five-year-old. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and even fish. From newborn animals who need gentle, round-the-clock care to senior pets who require patience and extra attention, I always adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. 🐶 Professional Experience & Training I hold a Certificate in Dog Behaviour and Training, which allows me to understand canine body language and respond in a calm, positive, and reassuring way. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, reactive, or simply needs companionship, I focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and understood. 💊 Special Care Skills I am also experienced in administering oral medication (tablets and liquid), always prioritising your pet’s comfort and reducing stress during the process. 👩‍👧 Personal Touch As a mother, I’ve developed strong patience, empathy, and responsibility — qualities that naturally extend into how I care for animals. I truly believe every pet deserves kindness, respect, and a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. As a mother, I spend most of my time at home, so I have the flexibility to care for pets and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. With years of experience caring for Shiba Inus, Chihuahuas, British Shorthair cats, stray cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and fish, I provide compassionate, tailored pet care in my home or the pet owner’s home, depending on the service offered. My Certificate in Dog Behavior and Training enhances my ability to understand canine body language, ensuring calm and positive interactions, while my experience with diverse animals allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs, from playful newborns to senior pets requiring extra patience. In-Home Pet Sitting: In the owner’s home, I follow their specific instructions for feeding, watering, and administering oral medications (pills or liquids) gently to minimize stress. I provide exercise, such as walks for dogs or interactive play for cats, tailored to their energy levels and preferences. For example, I might engage a Shiba Inu with a brisk walk or play feather games with a British Shorthair. I monitor health and behavior closely, offering reassurance to shy or anxious pets and maintaining a clean environment by tidying litter boxes or feeding areas. Dog Walking or Daily Visits: For dog walking, I customize routes and durations to suit each dog’s needs, from energetic Chihuahuas to senior pups, always carrying water and owner-approved treats. During daily visits, I provide feeding, play, or litter box cleaning, ensuring consistency. I send photo updates to keep owners informed. My gentle approach to medication administration and understanding of pet behavior ensure every animal feels loved and secure. I communicate regularly with owners to provide peace of mind, adapting my care to each pet’s personality and needs, whether furry, feathery, or finned.

About: I’ve looked after my neighbours dog and friends pets when they are away for holidays for a day or a week at a time I’m currently travelling back from America after being in USA for 4 months but when I get back I would love to just be around animals all the time. My home is as safe as it gets, my garden is all fenced up with a locked back door gate at all times. I also have a dog of my own but he is well trained and he loves to be around other dogs

About: Hello, I am Natalie.
I have a Pomeranian called Coco. I spent a lot of time with my fury friend, since she is already 14 years old, a very old lady. But she doesnt look like her age, still very energetic.
 Everynight I can't wait to see her and cuddle her to make sure she feels loved. I am so touched that I can share my special connections with her, she gave her whole world to me and love me unconditionally.
During weekends, I usually take my dog to the park. I love being connected with my furry friend and let her get social with other dogs. Due to my love for animals I am willing extend to take care of your animals, I decided to join as a pet sitter. Definately, I will take care of them like they are my own.
I have also went volunteering at homeless shelter which leads me to apply for the Grooming Programme to reach out to unfortunate animals and make sure they feel great with clean coat.
I could take care dogs during evening & weekends. 
I can do home visit 15- 45 mins depends on your pet needs and check up your pets. Please contact me if you would need more services.
Recently, I have graduated from the Dog Grooming Programme. I know all of the basic grooming, trimming & massage. I am available on weekdays and weekends, since I am working as part time, I am mostly free to visit all homes, please contact me thanks I have one friendly dog could keep your pooch company, regularly clean bedding, toys to sure hygiene.

About: It’s safe to say that I absolutely love dogs, every breed, every size, and every personality. From tiny Chihuahuas to big German Shepherds, I truly believe every dog is unique and reflects something special about the people who love them. That’s what makes them so fun, lovable, and rewarding to be around. Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and spending time with them genuinely brings me happiness. I’ve been surrounded by dogs for most of my life and have always felt a natural connection with animals. The most special bond I’ve ever had was with a Dalmatian named Happy, whom I helped raise together with a close friend in Germany (I’m blonde in the photos). Being involved in his daily care taught me how to balance love, patience, and gentle discipline — building trust while encouraging good behaviour. Over the years, I’ve also cared for many dogs belonging to friends, neighbours, and family. A lot of the dogs you see in my photos are ones I’ve regularly looked after and built strong bonds with. From energetic puppies to older, more relaxed dogs, I always adapt my approach to suit each dog’s individual personality and needs. I now live in England with my partner, Oliver, who shares my love for animals. We have a cosy home with a fenced patio where dogs can safely relax, play, and feel comfortable. Oliver also grew up with dogs (especially Buddy the Goldie!) and is just as caring and attentive. Together, we create a calm, loving environment where pets feel completely at home. Because I have a flexible work routine and can organise my time freely, pet care fits very naturally into my everyday life. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, company, affection, and consistency throughout the day — whether for boarding, walks, daycare, or drop-in visits. I truly enjoy long walks, peaceful routines, and creating a safe and happy space for every dog in my care. I also have experience with other animals, including cats and birds, as I grew up around parrots through my Brazilian background. For me, pet sitting is much more than just a job, it’s something I genuinely love. You can trust that your pet will be treated with kindness, patience, and care, just like I treated my biggest love, Happy 🖤🤍 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, as I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to fully adapt my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. During the week, I can take them out for a walk early in the morning, again in the evening, and also fit in walks, playtime, or quick trips outside throughout the day. Because I’m working from home, I’m always nearby to give them attention, company, and care whenever they need it. I also have the flexibility to take breaks when it suits the dog’s routine, whether that’s heading out for a walk, spending time playing, or simply giving them some affection and reassurance. This means they’re rarely alone and always well looked after. I live in a house with a fenced patio, so your dog can safely enjoy outdoor time whenever they like. Overall, my lifestyle allows me to provide a consistent, attentive, and loving environment throughout the day. When I care for pets in my own home or in the owner’s home, I always make sure the environment is safe and free from anything they could accidentally get into. I keep a close eye on them at all times and give them my full attention, creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere where they can feel comfortable and secure. Additional information: I’d also like to mention that my partner has a small fish tank at home with a few tiny fish (similar to goldfish, I don’t know the species). These do not have any interaction with visiting pets and usually go completely unnoticed. If a dog were ever to show interest or feel unsettled by it, the fish tank or fish can easily be moved to another room, as he has another fish tank in another room, to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I’m not involved in caring for the fish, my partner takes care of them, so they don’t play any role in the pet care I provide. For this reason, I haven’t listed them as pets on my profile, as they don’t affect the environment or the care of visiting animals in any way.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on pet-care experience - and one very stubborn 2 year old mini sausage dog- who’s also my best friend ❤️ I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so I’m fluent in tail wags, belly rub requests, and puppy dog eyes.” Friends and family have relied on me for years to look after their little ones, and I’m basically the cool uncle.. As I have just started back uni, I am very flexible and reliable. I will make it my TOP priority that your pet will get the same love, care, and spoiling I give my own little sausage boss. Before I started back to uni, I had been working full time so I understand how difficult it can be to find someone too look after your pet but to also trust someone. You would never have to worry about this, your pet would be in the best hands 🐶 When I’m not on placement ( February 4 weeks & the summer) I am pretty flexible- I can offer weekdays and weekends. (AM & PM) In my home, pets get a safe, cozy space, with plenty of playtime and lots of attention. I follow each pets routine closely including feeding, walks and any special requirements. In owners home - same applies however I keep pets comfortable by sticking to their familiar environment and routine. I provide regular updates, photos and videos.

It was my first time using Ang for a meet-and-greet for Alice ahead of her boarding stay, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Alice was so settled and happy, which gave me great confidence that she was in the best hands. Ang was warm, welcoming, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. I’m really pleased we found her and would happily recommend her doggy day care and boarding service to others.

About: I love providing care for pet parents, and showing their pets as much love as I show my own. I care for my friends dogs when they're away and they have an opportunity to socialise with Bella (the toy poodle) and Oscar (the labradoodle). We'd love to open our home to other pets so they have somewhere to go when their paw parents are out at work. Bella and Oscar love being around other dogs (and people). I work flexibly and the days in which I accept referrals are on my non-working days. This is to ensure that I can provide my full attention to our guests. I have a fenced garden and friendly fur children who are there to keep your pet company when they're bored of humans. I will provide close supervision of your pet at all times, and I will not leave them unattended in the home.

This is Saffie & Bailey’s second stay with Charlotte (unfortunately our first review wouldn’t post for some reason!) Both dogs were extremely eager to visit with Charlotte again, pulling to meet her, which is always a reassuring sign. Charlotte sent a couple of photos during the day - one of which showed a clearly grinning Bailey, who was obviously missing us - not!! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Charlotre, in fact we found her through some fellow dog walkers who regularly use her. Thanks for returning 2 very happy dogs :)

Mo has very evidently got a wealth of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I felt immediately comfortable during our meet and greet at her place and she met Charlie at the car when I dropped him off for day care and he keenly trotted off with her to play with Rocco and say hello to the cats. She also gave me some really useful guidance to help train him as he moves from puppy to adolescent. Would recommend Mo to anyone, and I didn't worry about Charlie for a single second while he was there, I knew intuitively he'd be well looked after and having a lovely time. Thanks so much!

I'm always nervous when Rollo spends his first day with a new sitter because he’s so strong-willed, but I needn’t have worried with Helen! She was so lovely with Rollo from our initial meet and greet, and knowing he can be safely off-lead in her secure enclosed field means I know he’ll always be safe. Rollo cried all the way down the drive as we were leaving Helen and Ben, so I’ve already booked his next day of doggy daycare with them. The first of many more days I’m sure! Thanks Helen x

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Warrington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Warrington on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 2,552 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Warrington. About 88% of Warrington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Warrington commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.

Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:

  • Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
  • Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
  • Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
  • Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
  • Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible

Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.

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 North West England 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.

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.

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 .

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

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.

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.
