“Opie had a great stay! From the start, everything felt really professional—they provided a form to fill out and arranged a meet and greet beforehand, which gave me a lot of confidence. During his day and overnight stay, I was kept regularly updated on how Opie was doing and what he was getting up to, which I really appreciated. It made me feel relaxed knowing he was in good hands. Overall, a very positive experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful service, thoroughly recommended, and will defo book again. Bailey was well looked after and I was kept up to date with pics and messages which was very reassurance. Thank you Megan xxx”
“Sonia and her husband great the dogs well. Both dogs really excited to see them. Happy to leave me and go with them. I had nice photos and updates when they were away. Both dogs looked very happy. Sonia is very patient with Pixie who can be very needy. Pickles also pushed boundaries at times but Sonia very relaxed about this. 2 very happy dogs. Very happy with care they were given. Would highly recommend. Thank you”
“Wonderful host!! Murray was so well looked after on his little holiday. Amy & family are the perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble, update photos & messages were lovely & reassuring as it was Murray’s first time away from home (& mine away from him!) Can’t recommend Amy & family highly enough - thanks so much.”
“I felt confident leaving Holly at Alison's. Alison was happy to update me on Holly and it's clear that Holly enjoyed her stay. I would most definitely choose for Holly to board with Alison in the future and would highly recommend Buck's Boarding. Thank you.”
“Trisha, Shane & Juliet - thank you so much for looking after Socks this week after i needed to travel away for work. Socks had a fantastic time staying with you & had lots of play with Juliet, snuggles and walks with you both. You did a fantastic job of keeping me up to date on how Socks was & what she had been up doing. Have no hesitation in recommending you to others to look after their furry friends. Socks is already looking forward to visiting you all again in August. Thank you again.”
“Saoirse was fantastic at looking after Milo for us. We received regular updates and photos, and he seemed like he had the best time staying with her. She took such good care of him and we can tell he was shown so much love and attention. I think he was a little sad his own holiday was over when we picked him up 🥲 Milo became very fond of Saoirse and we will be booking again for our next trip very soon and all future trips. 100% recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Benji came home very happy and tired after his weekend with Kieran and Otis. Kieran was very communicative both during the booking process and throughout the weekend sending updates and photos of Benji settling in and on his walks. An excellent pet sitter we will definitely ask again.”
“Molly was a wonderful sitter for our old girl Maisie. She was so patient and attentive and sent us lots of gorgeous pictures and updates. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again. Thank you Molly!”
“Could not have asked for better dog sitters. They looked after Martha, our Old English Sheepdog brilliantly. Provided updates and photos. Martha was happy and I think Michael and Selena a little bit smitten with her. Would not hesitate to recommend and use again. A big thumbs up and thanks.”
“For the first time in 10 years I decided to leave my dogs with a sitter so I could attend my daughters wedding in Dublin. Jay was fantastic from the first time I met her, my dogs took to her straight away. They stayed for 3 nights, I was sent pics and videos, of their shannigans, which looked like a good time. I was reassured they were OK. When picking them up I expected a big welcome from my dogs, but alas no, they did not want to come home, and sulked for a few hours, which told me they had a good time. Jay, thank you so much for looking after my dogs. I will be rebooking with yourself when I go away again as I know they will be in safe hands xx”
About: I have been around dogs for most of my life. Currently the proud doggie Mum to Luna the Cockapoo who is our world ! We are a family of 5, my husband is an optician, studying to become an optometrist. I work part time a couple of evenings a week. We have three older children (17, 14 and 13) who are all very fond of dogs and love to make a fuss of any visiting dogs! We have a calm house, suitable for dogs who are used to being allowed on the furniture and not being left alone. My own dog is never left alone due to separation anxiety so there is always an adult at home with her and it's almost always me ! I have business insurance to care for dogs, dog first aid and boarding certificates, an up to date DBS which can be seen and we have a very dog friendly home with a fully secure back garden and no hazards. We contemplated getting a second dog as a friend for ours as she loves company but I've gone down this route instead. We are based in Thingwall, can offer flexible days and times and will provide updates when required. Any dog who comes to stay with us will receive as much attention as they like, we can follow their usual routines if that's sleeping on a bed with a human or having belly rubs all evening. The house can be calm and serene, or if the dog is more used to long walks and adventures then we can do that - I want your dog to feel at home so lots of details will be taken to ensure your dog has the best time ! There is always someone at home - usually me. If I have to nip out to pick someone up I will take any dogs with me. Most days involve a trip to the park, beach or woods, a laze on the sofa with some TV and cuddles, another walk and more cuddles ! Fully secure fenced garden, non slip floors which are cleaned regularly, a very clean and tidy home with no clutter or choking hazards. Safety checks completed - working smoke detectors, fire extinguisher, dog first aid kit. The use of doggy seatbelts and car seats when travelling. My own vet is available in an emergency but all paperwork completed beforehand will go over anything like this.
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the very beginning, it was clear that my sitter genuinely loves animals and takes their responsibility seriously. Katie kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It’s obvious they were given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I also really appreciated how professional and reliable the sitter was—everything was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Dash and Marby enjoyed their stay with Joanne she really put us at ease leaving them. Joanne was patient with Dash who is very weary of people and he looked at home and comfortable when we picked him up. Thanks Joanne we will defo book again.”
About: Myself and my partner, Hayden, have grown up around dogs our entire lives and adore their company. We have experience of puppies all the way through to elderly dogs, well-behaved and those with behavioural issues. We have both been zookeepers in the past too so that really shows our love for animals and understanding of animal behaviour. We are both good with training, providing play and enrichment, and ensuring the environment is suitable depending on your dog’s needs. Our own dog just adores other dogs. She is a 2 year old German Shepherd x Rottweiler, and is still a playful pup. For this reason we do not accept the smallest dogs just in case her play is too boisterous. As you can tell in the photos, we are active people who love a long walk, and enjoy providing enrichment and play time. I am currently working full time from home, so will always be available to meet your dog’s needs. Also, my partner is around more often to provide care if I was to have a meeting. We are huge dog lovers so your dog can really treat our home like their own, including sofa cuddles, playing with our dog and joining us on days out. As we have a dog of our own, we will always fit a walk into our day. This can be done however best suits your dog I.e. multiple short walks or one big long walk. We would allow your dog to sleep anywhere downstairs in our home. Unfortunately, we do not allow dogs upstairs as this is very much our cat’s domain. We can ensure that our dog is kept separate to yours overnight though if this is best. Our home has a fenced garden with ample space to play with our resident dog. Our home is a work in progress, so we are not precious about anything. If something is damaged by your dog we will not blame them or punish them. We also don’t expect a perfectly trained dog.
“We couldn't be happier with the care Luke and his family provided for Bailey and Benji! The boys absolutely loved their time with them — it was clear from the moment we dropped them off that they were in wonderful hands. We received regular updates throughout their stay, which gave us such peace of mind. The photos and videos of their walks were a highlight — it was lovely to see them so happy and well looked after. Luke and his family are just the loveliest people, and it really shows in the way they care for the dogs. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a warm, attentive, and reliable family to look after their fur babies. We'll definitely be booking again!”

Luke & his lovely family made sure Barney had a proper home from home. Lots of updates with photos showing him enjoying his regular walks, cosying up with family on the sofa & generally having a wonderful little holiday of his own ❤️ Thank you Luke, Caz & Eddie xxx
Alison and Andy took great care of my Chihuahua, Otto, for a couple of nights recently. From the moment I met them a few months ago, I knew they were going to be diligent, careful and responsive in the way they would look after Otto. I had no hesitation in booking Otto to be looked after by them. Otto was looked after exceptionally well by Alison and Andy. They are very experienced at looking after dogs and were very calm with Otto which helped him settle in. I gave them lots of information about Otto and they ensured they got all details before I left him with them. He had a thoroughly good time with them and they were very patient and understanding of him being unsettled at times as this was the first time he had been looked after by them. Otto had a great time and slept soundly most of the afternoon and evening after he came home! A big thank you to Alison and Andy for taking such good care of Otto!
Meg has just returned from her 2 night trial with Jack and Izzy who are a lovely couple 😊 We got updates and pictures of Meg who had clearly made her self at home , which is all we ask for. We will definitely will be booking again soon , knowing Meg is in safe hands 🐶
Andzelika was really good looking after our dog Stella when we were away on holiday. She provided daily updates and photographs including videos. Stella was clearly looked after and cared for, even given visits to the beach on a regular basis. I wouldn't hesitate to book Andzelika in the future.
My first time leaving Coco for a 7 day holiday. Visited Isabel at home & we also met up with her dogs & COCO. This really helped me knowing she would take good care of him. While away sent me photos & messages. I think he didn't miss me as much as I thought as he had Tank & Mabel as company. A big thank you to Isabel & boyfriend for making Cocos stay fun. X
Megan had my dog Max for the day while we moved house. He had the best day with her!! , Megan is lovely and Max adored her as soon as they met. I have never left him with anyone (he’s 4), I was nervous but her calming and lovely nature made me feel at ease. She also sent updates through the day telling me how he was. He loved her and probably didn’t even want to come home ha ha. I definitely recommend Megan :-)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wirral on Rover is £36.8 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,146 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wirral. 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 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 .
