“Absolutely perfect. It was my first time using Rover. I was so undecided whether to bring Odin for our weekend away as he gets a bit fed up being dragged around on lead but didn’t want to leave him in kennels. I felt doggy daycare for a couple of afternoons would be the best of both worlds. Maxine & hubby was so lovely, booked us in at short notice, responded to messages super quick and we felt 100% comfortable leaving him. Without a doubt if we come down this way again we would love Maxine to look after him. Thank you for being so wonderful!”

About: We had our own beautiful border collie for 8 years, who has sadly passed. We have also looked after dogs for friends and love getting out walking with them. We have the beach, woods, parks and fields on our doorstep. We would love to give your dog a comfortable stress free home whilst you are away. We would prefer to meet them first to decide if we, you and your dog would be happy for us to care for them. My husband and I are both retired. We have no other commitments so your dog would be our priority. There would always be someone here, so the dog would never be alone. We have a small fenced back garden and spacious living room area. We also have a crate if thats what your dog is used you.

About: I provide attentive, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I take the time to learn each dog or cat’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive care that feels familiar and stress-free. Whether it’s keeping up with puppy training, administering medications, caring for senior pets, or giving extra patience to shy animals, I treat every pet like family. I also keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands. I am currently working flexible hours during the week so I am able to suit around your animals needs and availability is totally free on weekends. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. I make sure each pet has a designated space for rest, access to fresh water, and meals provided on their regular schedule. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, free of hazards, where they can feel secure and relaxed. I provide plenty of playtime, walks and enrichment activities to keep them happy and stimulated. If a pet has special dietary needs or requires medication, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I also ensure that pets receive lots of affection and attention, so they feel right at home while in my care. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine and environment to minimize stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have access to clean water, and are given proper exercise through walks and playtime. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including administering medications, maintaining grooming routines, or using specific training cues. In addition to caring for the pet, I respect the owner’s home by keeping it clean and secure. I make sure the pet’s living areas are tidy, and I provide updates to the owner so they feel reassured that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11, family, friends and neighbours have always asked me to walk and care for their dogs when they are busy and give them a happy loving place when they can’t be around. I now have 2 dogs of my own a chihuahua and a French bulldog they’re both fully trained, they’re spoilt everyday with love and lots of play time. I love making a dogs day the best day possible while in my care. I’m available everyday from morning to afternoon and have plenty of time to play with your pups! You can always count on me to be ready to give your pets the best day! I have a dog to keep your fur baby company, we will have plenty of cuddles and play time. You will have no need to worry when leaving your babies with me they will always be in the safest hands having loads of fun.
About: I have looked after pets ever since I was a little boy, whether that was my own or a family or friends. When I was younger I helped my parents puppy train the dogs we had and I have done the same with mine ever since. My passion lies with animals and giving them all the care, love & attention they deserve. Working from home means I can do this :) I currently work full time from home so I can give your pet all the care and attention in the world along with plenty of playtime and love! I have a 4 bedroom house with a fenced garden where your pooch can feel at home. There are plenty of shaded areas also. When the weather is nice I can take playtime outside for them or at your wishes! I lost my 2 of my fur babies earlier this year and August of last year and have been devastated ever since. I now currently have just a small miniature poodle who is coming up to a year old. He is lovely & he loves all dogs and would love a friend to play with. If you would like your dog kept separate then that is of course fine as well. We have plenty of toys and treats here but feel free to bring your own if that makes them feel more comfortable :)

About: I understand how important it is to find someone reliable, trustworthy, and loving to look after your beloved companions. Whether it's feeding, walking, grooming, or simply providing cuddles and companionship, I'm here to ensure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved in your absence. I have personally owned cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and fish, and I also have strong experience caring for dogs. I regularly volunteer at the Norfolk and Suffolk Animal Trust, where I walk and help care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. In addition, outside of Rover I have dog sat for friends and family, both in my own home and in theirs. Whether I am providing care while an owner is on holiday, at work, or simply in need of extra support, I am always committed to delivering attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. I also help with regular dog walks, taking my in-laws’ Labrador and French Bulldog out each week. My services are tailored to suit your pet's unique personality and requirements. I take pride in maintaining open communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to offer peace of mind while you're away. Rest assured, your precious pets will be in capable and caring hands with me! I work from home, which makes it easy to help care for your furry friend. I can help out with dog walks in the mornings, in my lunch breaks (which are flexible) and in the evenings / across the weekend. I don’t have pets or children so your pet(s) can feel safe and happy in my home. We have a courtyard type garden, which your dog is able to make use of, but being within close walking distance to the beach / parks allows a lovely alternative for your pet.
“Willow had such a great time with her visits. She was loved and cared for so well. She was super excited to go back and didn't want to leave! Thank you again so much for having her :)”

About: We’re lifelong dog lovers and take a considered, personal approach so each dog receives plenty of individual attention. My husband and I both work from home full time, meaning dogs in our care are rarely left alone and enjoy consistent company throughout the day. During the week, our home is particularly calm as our two children (aged 6 and 8) are at school. We share our home with our own 3-year-old dog, who is relaxed, friendly, and well socialised with other dogs. Our children have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful, understanding when a dog needs space. We are best suited to dogs who are comfortable in a family environment and around children. Our home is spacious, with several quiet areas where dogs can rest if they prefer their own space, as well as the option to stay close to us in our home office. We also have a secure, fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time. Sleeping arrangements are flexible and tailored to your dog’s usual routine. We follow a calm, consistent daily routine, including at least one walk a day, and we’re happy to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, medication, and care. Ahead of booking, we ask owners to share any special requirements so we can provide thoughtful, personalised care. We’re always happy to arrange a meet and greet to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. We both work from home full time with our own rescue dog who we take for daily walks, so always looking for more furry company! As already mentioned, you can rest assured your dog is in safe hands - our garden is fully fenced. We can also go for on-lead walks for your peace of mind.
“Darcie had the most lovely day and has come back from Charlotte’s ready for a good nap! Also a lovely touch was her “report card” for the day.. written by Darcie telling us about her adventures!”

“Ruth done a great job looking after Marley for the day, Normally Marley is very excited to see me when I come home but at Ruths when I went to pick her up she barely took any notice of me as she was so happy where she was. Ruth is very kind and gentle and obviously loves and knows how to look after dogs and I would highly recommend her. I have booked an overnighter already.”

“Cara took really good care of our puppy Nala for the day. She listened and took into account Nala’s care needs and was really happy when I picked her up, would definitely recommend and consider rebooking in the future.”

“Plato enjoyed a lovely day with Sarah! He was very excited to see her when we arrived which was a great sign that he felt comfortable on his last visit. Great photos of him enjoying the garden and relaxing in her kitchen. Very happy to have found Sarah to look after him.”

“This is the second time Pinar and her family have looked after our dachshund Bramble. She took really good care of Bramble and sent us lots of photos of her throughout the day. Will definitely be using Pinar again”

There are 219 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Waveney. About 85% of Waveney 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 Waveney 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 East of 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.
