Every dog is treated as part of the family, with plenty of care, attention, and affection. Our aim is simple—to provide a safe, loving, home-from-home environment where you can feel completely confident leaving your dog in our care.
“Katie has been absolutely fantastic from start to end. She gave us reassurance over the settings (house and garden) as having a rescue dog, we were a bit worried our dog may want to get out. But Katie went the extra mile and measured and photographed her fence and also used a tracking device on our pooch. I truly felt our dog had an amazing holiday too whilst we were away. The whole family has looked after her brilliantly and cared for her as if they were her owners. I was also amazed by how highly communicative Katie has been the whole time with pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend Katie to others but also we will use her services in the future.”
“Loki had the best time with Shubham! I was sent lots of pictures and updates throughout my dogs stay and in all of them he had the biggest smile on his face. I would highly recommend using them :)”
“Amazing dog sitting for our highly energetic puppy. Such a lovely caring couple it was clear from the get go that willow was going to be well looked after. Throughout the few days, Debika & husband kept me well informed and sent loads of pictures. When picking Willow up she was so happy, it made the entire experience an easy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I would highly recommend and will be using again. Thanks 🙏”
“Sarah was amazing and took really good care of our senior dog Kary! We got several updates and photos every day and gave us peace of mind that Kary was not only safe but also had a great time! Of course sweet Holly helped a lot ☺️ We will book again and would definitely recommend”
“Chenyan was very welcoming and made our Whippet girl settled and relaxed very quickly. We received multiple updates as well as photos and videos throughout the stay. Wilma had a great time playing and relaxing with Chenyan’s lovely girl Mae. We would definitely like to recommend Chenyan! For us she’s a 5 stars sitter! Thank you so much!”
“We had an emergency and had to book last minute, and Karen was great, she responded quickly and helped us get everything sorted. Our dog fern hada great time and was very well looked after, and came home tired. Highly recommend!”

Izzi had a wonderful stay with Anya and her family while I was away for a couple of days for a family event. Anya kept me updated to reassure me Izzi was comfortable and happy and sent some lovely photos of her having fun with new buddy Koda. I hope Izzi can stay again in future.
Camilla was so brilliant and attentive with our dog. Our dog struggled to settle at night so she went the extra mile and slept downstairs on the sofa to help him feel more at ease. We also loved the regular pics we got of him on his walks in the field. We would definitely recommend the lovely Camilla.
Kylie had the best time with Maria Rosaria and Vincenzo! She was well looked after, as we could tell from the many updates received throughout the week. This afternoon I collected a very happy, healthy not to mention very clean pup. Thank you guys, Kylie's looking forward to seeing you again!
Top dog sitter. Sunny was so happy to arrive and didn't want to leave. Susan and her family treated Sunny lile.on of their own and she will be the only sitter I use in the future (pending availability). Lovely woman and a great communicator to boot, I couldn't recommend highly enough.
Rusty seems to have enjoyed his stay & got on with Prerna's own dog. Rusty had a few toilet issues which Prerna informed me of & helped him with incontinence nappies. She also give him meds that were prescribed by the vet the morning we dropped him off. She kept me informed about Rusty, who is my mum's elderly dog & sent photos regularly. I have no hesitation to recommend her.
This is Cassidy’s second booking with Sam and her family. Once again we are so happy with the service. Cass is always settled and happy with them, and it’s lovely to get updates throughout our time away. I cannot recommend enough, lovely experience and so reassuring to leave Cass with someone so trusted.
Amanda had been absolutely amazing with Poppy. Poppy is quite nervous dog and Amanda went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable, give her plenty of time to get familiar with new surroundings and involved her family which Poppy really liked. Daily updates were very informative and detailed. I highly recommend Amanda for your four legged friends and will be definitely using her services in the future.
We left Teddy with Adrianna for one night while we were away. The communication from Adrianna was great before and during the stay. Her dog, Crumble, was very calm when we arrived, and Teddy went straight off and made himself at home! We received updates and pics during the stay, and she even managed to take Teddy out for a bit which was great. Would definitely use Adrianna again. Thanks for looking after Teddy

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

- 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 .
