“Thankyou to Rebecca and Edward who have been fantastic sitters. They welcomed Teddy into their home and looked after him brilliantly, treating him as one of their own. Thanks so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Cannot thank Rover and Alba enough this was my first time leaving Pixie so I was very stressed. Alba kept me informed with lots of photies and updates. When I collected pixie she wasn’t that excited to see me I think she would have liked to have stayed. I would not hesitate to recommend Alba and if I should need to leave pixie again it will certainly be with Alba Thank you so much”

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.
“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”

About: I’ve taken care of different breads of dogs from a young age, growing up with both a high energy Labrador retriever and calmer Cookerpoo. Currently living with my partner and our energetic sprocker spaniel, Pepper. We walk pepper atleast twice a day, often in local woodlands and parks as well as playing fetch in our fenced garden. Available for dog walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I currently work flexibly from home 3 days per week and often finish before 4pm. On weekdays I can offer walks or drop ins to suit you and your dogs needs. I do not work weekends so can offer overnight stays Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights as well as walks and drop ins on these days. I will be available to feed, walk and play with your dog anytime during their stay. Any days when I am not at home I will not include in my schedule. I have a securely fenced garden for your dogs to play in and a dog of my own for yours to play with. Our dog is also crate trained so if your dog needs some time to themselves this can be accommodated for.
“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*”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Lancashire on Rover is £29.9 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 .
