Great communication from introductory visit to picking them up, girls had clearly had a great time, plenty of cuddles and attention. Highly recommend Jess, and will be using again for any future requirements, also thanks to George for doing the morning walks!”
“This was our first experience using Rover, and Marcus and Kathleen made it an exceptionally positive one from start to finish. Before booking, we met Marcus and his dog Bailey for a one-to-one introduction, which went incredibly well. Marcus was warm, reassuring, perceptive, and genuinely interested in getting to know our precious Puggle, Pippa. It was clear from the outset that he understands dogs and takes the time to learn about their individual personalities, routines, and needs. We also arranged a home visit before Pippa’s stay, which gave us a great opportunity to see the environment she would be staying in and where the dogs spend their time. As Pippa is very much a scent-driven Puggle, she loves investigating new surroundings, sniffing every corner, crack, and cranny as she settles into a new space. Being able to explore the house and garden beforehand, as well as meeting Kathleen, helped her feel comfortable and familiar with everything. Throughout Pippa’s stay, Marcus and Kathleen kept us regularly updated with messages and photos covering her daily walks, snoozing sessions, and overall demeanour. This was particularly appreciated during the heatwave that coincided with our holiday, as it gave us complete confidence that Pippa was comfortable, well cared for, and having her individual needs thoughtfully considered. Their communication was supportive, engaging, and exactly the kind of reassurance we would hope for from such well-rounded and experienced sitters. Throughout the whole process, Marcus and Kathleen were welcoming, professional, and clearly passionate about providing a safe, caring, and enjoyable environment for the dogs in their care. They gave us complete confidence that Pippa would be happy and well looked after. We would have no hesitation in recommending Marcus and Kathleen to other dog owners and would gladly trust them with Pippa again in the future. Five stars from both us and Pippa. 🐾”
“So pleased to find a home from home for Alfie, who plainly had a very good time with Louise and her family. Louise is unflappable and took into account all of Alfie's food issues. I am delighted that Alfie is booked in for a longer stay in the new year, we will be able to enjoy our holiday knowing that he is in very safe hands.”
“Victoria was really friendly & helpful in accommodating our dachshund Frank. She met with us before the stay to make sure we were happy & our dog would feel happy. Communication was good. Would recommend :) Thank you, Victoria!”
“Casper had a wonderful time with Arlina and her family, we had regular updates, and could see he was very happy. Truly a home from home and highly recommended. Thank you 😊”
About: I’ve had dogs for the past 12 years growing up with 2 working cocker spaniels on a farm and have cared for them from puppyhood through adulthood. Family and friends regularly rely on me to look after their dogs, trusting me to give them the same care and attention I give my own pets. I’m calm, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I also love exploring and being outdoors, so dogs in my care can expect fun walks, and plenty of stimulation alongside lots of affection. I am a Financial accountant who can work from home for up to two weeks. I tend to go to CrossFit in the mornings and if it’s suitable to the dog I will bring them along, followed by a walk before the day job starts. I like to spend some time in the garden with them at lunch to provide some midday stimulation, followed by a short 30 minute walk after work before settling down for the evening. I have a fenced garden, with no escape routes near Newbury town centre, with lots of options for walks around the local conservation trail and local greenham common.
“Laura was an absolute godsend, I had seen someone previous and it just didn’t work so I was panicking, Laura took a meet and greet last minute for me and was so calm with Evie and looked after her the next day, I had such peace of mind. Such a lovely family and my pooch was spoiled and had the best time with the other doggos there. Thanks Laura xxx”
“Poppy had a lovely time staying with Pedro and his family. She enjoyed playing with Oliver, his little dog. Pedro’s garden is generous and dog secure and he took Poppy for plenty of walks. I would recommend Pedro to any dog parent!”
“Amy was fantastic looking after our mischievous Beagle. She provided Willow with everything she needed and sent updates and images whilst we were away. She was keen to understand Willow's usual schedule and requirements and ensured she was comfortable. I will certainly look to book with Amy again in the future.”

Meeting Oliver and his partner beforehand really put us at ease. They were both so welcoming and friendly that we felt confident Billy would be well looked after. We loved receiving the regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Billy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Berkshire on Rover is £36.8 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 2,475 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Berkshire. 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 South East 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.
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 .
