“Nala was very looked after by Alba and looked like she was having a great time from the photo updates we received, as Nala is only young and this really reassured us. We will be using Alba again in the future!”
“Excellent! Would highly recommend. Rebecca & Edward were brilliant hosts, keeping me updated with photos and messages during Lunas stay. She came home a very happy dog and we will definitely be rebooking with them again.”
“We had a great experience with Ashleigh and would happily book again. We were kept updated with messages and photos and our dog had a great weekend playing with Theo! Thank you for taking such good care of Finn!”
“Gill, her partner and their dog Toby were great company for our dog Max! They were attentive and reassuring, patient and relaxed, and sent us updates and cute photos throughout our vacation. When we returned, Max already felt completely at home there! Very warmly recommended :)”
“Our dog had not stayed away from home for a long time, but settled in straight away at Karen's. They have a field in front of their home which is great for exercising, and Karen and Paul are caring , love dogs and were aware of our dog's needs. I would definitely recommend Karen as a dog sitter, have booked another stay very soon!”
About: I’m an experienced dog owner and have cared for Cooper as part of my daily life for years. I’m used to the responsibility that comes with owning a dog, from regular walks and feeding to play, exercise and giving them plenty of attention. I walk Cooper every day, come rain or shine, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and exploring the outdoors with them. I’m patient, reliable and will treat your dog like one of my own. work as a teacher during the week, but I’m available to board dogs during weekdays as well as weekends. I’m happy to spend time with them before and after work, including walks, feeding and plenty of attention. I’m also available for evening sitting and longer stays during school holidays. I’m happy to work around each dog’s usual routine and individual needs. I’m an experienced dog owner and understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone you trust. I have a safe home with a garden and experience caring for my own dog as part of my daily routine. I’ve always made sure my dog gets his walk after work, come rain or shine, so I’m comfortable keeping dogs active and well exercised. I’ll follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking and care instructions carefully while giving them plenty of attention and affection.
“I couldn’t recommend Olaniyi enough. This was my first time leaving Bailey with him and, naturally, I was a little worried about how he would settle, but Olaniyi was absolutely brilliant with him. He kept me updated throughout our holiday with messages and photos, which really gave me peace of mind. Bailey was initially a little nervous and even fussy with his food, but Olaniyi was so patient with him, took the time to understand him and even found a food he enjoyed. By the end of his stay, Bailey was completely settled, happy and following him everywhere! 😂❤️ It was obvious when we collected Bailey that he had been genuinely cared for and treated like part of the family. I would happily leave Bailey with Olaniyi again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone kind, patient and trustworthy to care for their dog. Thank you again! 🐶❤️”
“Maisie has had a lovely time and couldn’t have asked for a more lovely family to mind her while we were away on holiday. Sent photos and videos through daily and Maisie looked so happy with loads of cuddles and attention. Would recommend and book again x”
“Juisana recently looked after my Frenchy, Ziggy, for a week and she was brilliant. Ziggy was welcomed with open arms are looked after superbly. Juisana sent updates each day and it was obvious that Ziggy loved his stay. I thoroughly recommend Juisana and won’t hesitate to use her services again in the future”
“Nicole and her partner looked after our little Charlie for 5 nights whilst we had a short break away . They instantly made Charlie feel part of the family with their lovely dog Bueno being very welcoming Charlie is a dog that simply needs a lot of love and to be near you and Nicole provided that in abundance . We were kept up to date regularly with how Charlie was settling in and lots of great photos seeing him enjoying himself … and simply relaxing at times ! We would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone else needing a very caring dog minder . Thank you Nicole xx”
“Maria-Christina and her lovely family looked after my dog for a week really brilliantly. Taking note of all the information I gave, settling her in and sending regular updates and pictures that reassured me she was in safe hands. Thank you Maria-Christina!”
“Catherine was just brilliant with Stella...she can be a very tricky pup at times and Catherine welcomed her like her own. Catherine was happy to talk to me and meet up with Stella prior to booking and was very accommodating with times for drop off and collection. I was sent regular pupdates and I know Stella just had the best time at Catherine's . Thanks so much for taking care of my Stella Bella. I could see how happy she was with you and it was so reassuring as I hate to leave her. 5*”
“I cannot recommend Joyce highly enough! Leaving our dogs is always stressful, but she treated our pups as if they were her own from the very first day.We received regular photo and message updates throughout the entire stay, which completely put our minds at ease.It was clear from the happy and relaxed updates that our dogs were getting all the love, attention, and care they get at home.If you want total peace of mind while you are away Joyce is absolute perfection. We will definitely be booking again Hugs from Henry and Mabel”
“Maria created a very loving and calm environment for my dog Bertie. He is a very anxious dog and struggles to adjust to changes. He was very happy and healthy when I collected him after 16 nights and she kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay. Highly recommend, will definitely rebook.”
“Antony was responsive, reliable and easy to communicate with throughout. He was very accommodating to our schedule and my girls needs, which made the whole (first ever) experience of leaving my girl, stress free. I felt confident my dog was in great hands and would happily, and highly, recommend him. Our girl is rarely excluded from family adventures; this occasion was an unforseen need, however, should the need ever present itself again, I would not hesitate to reach out to Anthony in confidence my girl would be in very safe hands.”

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 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.
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 .
