“Had Lucy look after our Roxy, this is the first time we have ever used a dog sitter and I will say without a doubt we will be using Lucy in the future as long as she would like to. We had pictures sent on a daily basis as well as messages. We were worried as we have never done this before but we had complete peace of mind due to having regular communication with Lucy. She was made to feel like part of the family (there’s no doubt about that) during her stay. Really can’t Thankyou enough for the welfare and giving us peace of mind. Infact we have already referred her to family and friends. Thankyou and we look forward in dealing with you in the future. A+++ in my books”
“I can highly recommend Sophie. She recently looked after my 7 month old golden retriever and she was fantastic. He was well looked after and we received regular updates and photos. She even ensured his training continued and he had exposure to other dogs, which was invaluable for his development. We will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I’m from the UK doing a ski season at mount Washington due to the lack of snow I’ve got a lot of time on my hands. I would like to spend it with some furry friends. I have over 10 years experience in dog walking and dog care and over five years experience in housesitting. I am the owner of three cats and me and for four dogs so I understand all of their basic and not so basic needs I am available for anything from a quick half an hour dog walk to bath and overnight care :) Due to the lack of snow, I currently have many days off with where I am available to help out. I have a standard of three days of a week and I am able to pick them so I can fit in with anyone’s care needs I live in an apartment with my partner we are non-smoker and have access to many trail walks and parks We have a closed door balcony, so when looking after feline, they will be nice and safe
“Frazer was amazing and so helpful; coming to the house to collect Mira and dropping her back too. Sent pics the whole way through and kept us informed. A great sitter, and I’d recommend him to anyone needing a caring and attentive doggy lover.”
“Harriet really helped us out of a tight jam super last minute. We’d had a mix up with our normal kennel just 2 days before we were due to go on holiday for a week and she responded to our plea immediately. The dogs loved their time with her, she gave us regular updates and photos and it was clear how much care she took of our two dogs whilst they were with her. Nice long walks, beaches, cuddles they had a blast. She was even kind enough to collect and drop them off, and she shampooed them before returning. Couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend! Would happily use Harriet’s services again xx”
“Lucy was always keeping me updated with Sky, she was very attentive and loving! She provided us photos and regular texts throughout the stay ensuring we knew how Sky was. Sky was well cared for and her needs was fully met as was mine. I would 100% recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a safe home & person to care for their pet.”

“Tracie and Sarah are incredible. They were amazing with my puppy Dotty. There were patiant with her and really looked after her as if she were their own. I had regular updates through messages and photos. And was a home away from home for Dotty. I will be using Tracie and Sarah again when I need to. Thank you guys sooo much”
“Morgan helped us out last minute with our 8 month old puppy. He has had the best time! She sent some lovely photos, gave him a proper little holiday, popped on some relaxing sounds to settle him at night. Woody was really well taken care of and has come back knackered and happy all of which has made leaving him for the first time so much more stress free! Lovely home and partner, great environment for a puppy, great communication and really accommodating - couldn’t ask for more. Thoroughly recommend!!”
“Hannah and Jordan looked after our two chihuahua for 2 nights. We were sent pics and updates throughout the days. Beccie and Milo were really settled and were obviously happy with there staycatio! We fully intend to use them again in the future.”
“Our puppy Phoebe had the best time staying with Emilia for one night whilst we were at a wedding in the area. She was great at adapting to Phoebe’s needs as a young pup & Emilia kept us updated with what they were up to including pictures which we loved! Would use her time and time again if we lived in area - thank you so much!”
“I would highly recommend Imogen for your dog sitting! They are a very competent family and made my puppy Rusty feel quite at home. I was super confident leaving Rusty with them for the weekend. Rusty had so much fun with Norman too. Thank you so much!”
“I was worried about Winston going away as he rarely goes anywhere. Mark and Fee allowed us to visit first and made me feel far more relaxed and reassured. Winston was more than happy to stay with them and calm and happy when we picked him up. They updated me to let me know he was ok. Highly recommended, thanks Mark”
“The first boarding attempt! It turned out to be that Kai, who normally takes longer to settle in less familiar places, slept through the night, while Jet, who is normally easy-going, had trouble calming down and falling asleep. Alison was very patient, and correctly analysed that Jet (the brightest and the most sensitive between the boys) realising that my husband and I were not going to be with him during the night was the cause. I was glad that Alison gave me her honest opinions. She also showed good undersanding of the boys' behaviour and showed great care for them. Thank you Alison, and have a good rest! Hopefully, it'll be better next time!”
“It Nora's first time not being with family. Anie was so welcoming and patient with her. She sent lots of photos of their day together which was so reassuring. I am definitely rebooking and would highly recommend.”
“Petrina did a lovely job of taking care of Biscuit for 5 days. It was our first time leaving her since she joined our family and Petrina helped us feel comfortable and at ease with check-ins and updates throughout. Will definitely book with Petrina again for our next holiday away! Thank you so much! xx”
“Maggie treated Barry like one of the family. She had two other dogs and they all got on well. She gave me daily updates, which I found comforting. I would definitely ask her again to look after my fur baby 😁”
“Big thankyou to Sam and Millie for looking after Henry, whilst we went on holiday. He has been truly spoilt and had lots of attention and cuddles, and made himself at home. Had some lovely photos sent to us. Would definitely use their service again, thankyou both so much x”
About: When I was younger we had guinea pigs (6 over the years). I am an auntie to 2 gorgeous bunnies, who I regularly take care of. Also a cousin of 2 very energetic dogs who have various sleepovers with me and lots of walks! Frequently take care of our neighbour's cats. I am currently a remote worker so have flexibility on location. I am out walking most mornings and evenings and would be great to have a little friend to accompany me! My house has a big back garden- and plenty of downstairs space to accommodate furry guests. I am also situated right on the moors great for walking.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 328 sitters in West Devon, 71% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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.
