About: Hi! I’m a 37-year-old dog lover offering a calm, caring home for your dog. I grew up with a lovely Shi-Tzu and two cats, so I’ve been around animals from a young age. I now have my own 4-year-old Sheltie, who is incredibly sweet and gentle. She is naturally shy, so I’ve learned how to handle and support nervous dogs with patience, kindness, and gentle training. Watching her grow in confidence has been very rewarding. I am currently at home full-time, which means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I also have a secure enclosed garden with grass for toilet breaks and fresh air between walks. My partner is also home part of the week, and we enjoy going on dog walks together. We understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and I will care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am always at home, so can take the dog out fairly easily and keep company. We then have a daily walk after work in the evening. I have a enclosed garden with grass for their natural needs, and am walking distance of parks and meadows such as Whetstone Stray and Brook Farm open space.
“It was Jaxson's first booking and although he was fretful, which is in his breed anyway, I got regular updates from Laura about him throughout the day - great care and attention - lovely sitters.”

“Alison was great at communicating. She was very kind and gentle with my boy who can get anxious when he is left with someone new, and he settled In well with her as a result. Alison has a lovely welcoming home and garden. I would highly recommend her to others.”

“Thank you so much Doris for taking care of our Lilu for the evening. She really loved it and didn’t wanna go back 😅 Doris kept me updated with lots of texts, photos and videos. Highly recommended dog sitter ❤️ will definitely book again. Thank you!”

“My pup Mango loved her daycare with Keren! Keren is so lovely and caring and I was very happy to leave Mango with her for the day. She didn’t want to leave and tried to jump out of her carrier back to Keren’s house! ❤️”


About: My name is Katy, your friendly North London dog lover! I’ve owned a dog and dog sitted for over 10 years in both the UK and NZ. I’m passionate about giving your fury pals a safe and engaging environment, and I treat every dog as if it were my own. My home is fully dog safe, I’m extremely diligent and aware of toxins or any unsafe doggy foods. I’m proficient at administering medicine and I’m very happy to follow any of your training needs or commands. I’d love to know a wee bit about your pup, their likes and dislikes, any allergies and their favourite park! I work part time 100% from home. I have minimal meetings, and easy access to a fully fenced garden. I’ll typically take dogs on one good walk, plus a couple of wee walks - depending on the length of stay. My garden is fully fenced and my home is fully dog safe, including baby gates to keep them safe. I have a dog crate I can use if needed.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life, from little to large, I’ve helped house train them, teach them tricks and keep them happy. I’ve been using Rover and looking after dogs around Whetstone and Barnet for over a year now. Recently I’ve taken care of a tiny six-month-old Golden Retriever, a poor little senior pup with dementia and everything in between. I own my own business and mostly work from my Whetstone flat. I often take calls through the day and occasionally have to go into central London, but not often. I live on a top floor, dog friendly, flat with access to a small grass patch for emergency toilet breaks. Of course we’re surrounded by parks and nice walks here too.

About: I grew up with two dogs and have loved caring for them from a young age. I also had the privilege of caring for my elderly dog, making sure they received plenty of love, comfort, attention and the care they needed as they got older. This taught me to be patient, attentive and aware that every dog has different needs and routines. I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to family, friends and neighbours, helping with feeding, walks, playtime and companionship. I currently have my own pup a female cocker spaniel called Luna, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I’ll provide a safe, loving and fun environment where your dog can feel comfortable, receive plenty of attention and enjoy their day. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and any specific care instructions you provide. I’ll also send you plenty of photos and updates throughout the day, so you can see how much fun your dog is having and have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾📸 It says crate trained only- but the app does not let me change. I'm open about it I am available to pick your pup from your house or you can drop them at your convenienced time. The day will start with a morning walk followed by time to relax and enrichment activities like sniffing treats. I can do short boarding on my free days. Please also let me know your dog's own routine to follow so they can feel at home. I have a large fenced garden and a friendly cocker called Luna that will keep company to your pup to feel like home. I can help with wash if the day gets too messy and please let me know any other information I need to know about your pup to keep them safe and sound.
“Craig and Kareem obviously love and understand dogs, they also have lovely Bailey to help with doggy day care duties :-) I felt confident safe and happy knowing puppy Athena was with them eating, playing, running around, resting, and being cuddles. All her needs and behaviours were understood and met. We will see you again this week :-)”

About: I’ve always lived with cats and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve also had experience living with a Doberman and a cat at the same time, so I’m comfortable around different types, sizes and personalities of pets. I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them, whether that means playing, cuddling, going for walks or simply keeping them company. I’m happy to care for all types of pets and will always treat them with the same care, patience and affection I would give my own. I work part-time and have a fairly flexible schedule, so I’m mainly based in the local area. Even when I’m working, my workplace is only about five minutes from home, which means I can easily pop home and check on a cat during the day. Because of my flexible schedule and local lifestyle, I think I’m a great fit for someone who needs a reliable person to look after their cat while they’re away, whether it’s for a few days or a longer stay. I’d be very happy to provide company, feeding, care and plenty of attention while their owners are away. I live in a quiet flat with access to a communal garden and several parks nearby. I also drive and really enjoy getting out into nature, often driving to beautiful parks such as Trent Park for longer walks. I’d be very happy to take a dog out for a proper walk and give them plenty of exercise and outdoor time. Being close to green spaces and having a car gives me lots of flexibility when it comes to keeping pets active and happy.
“Katie was absolutely lovely. We were so happy knowing our little dog was spending her first day care with such a kind and caring person. Nila is usually very nervous around new people, but she was surprisingly calm and quickly became attached to Katie, which really says a lot. It gave us so much peace of mind. We’ll definitely be booking again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful sitter.”

“Megan looked after Rocco for the first time and did a great job. She bonded with him quickly and picked up on his cues and routine straight away. He settled with her easily and came home happy and tired. Very easy communication and a smooth handover. I would happily book her again.”

“Kate is amazing! Freddie loves walking with her and he comes back super happy, clean and fed. Kate gives me updates throughout the whole day and send me pictures and the occasional video so I’m always updated. I highly recommend her and so glad I’ve found her.”

About: Im a 62 year old animal lover who adores any pet shape or size! After having pets in the house for over 25 years i have recently and sadly lost my dog 'coco' who was a 14 year old staffy.

“Begona and family looked after Caju on Easter Sunday and were great company for her. Begona’s communication was fantastic, and they took her on multiple walks with Rango throughout the day, for which it was so nice for her to have some doggy company. We’d definitely use them again for Caju 😃”

Katie was absolutely brilliant! She was extremely organised from start to finish and took such great care of Brownie. She kept us really well informed throughout, which gave us complete peace of mind, and sent us lots of lovely pictures and updates. It was clear that Brownie was happy, comfortable and very well looked after. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Katie again and would highly recommend her!

Alina looked after my puppy Maple with such care. Maple had a lovely day and had so much fun. Alina’s communication was amazing and she sent me lots of lovely photos and kept in touch with me. I would highly recommend her to look after your dogs and I would definitely use her again myself.

We reached out to Ashleigh very last minute, and she was very accommodating and accepted the request. Ashleigh asks all relevant questions before the care takes place which made me feel at ease knowing Rolo would be cared for. We will definitely book rolo in again

We booked Aleksandra for the first time to take care of Max (2 year old cockapoo). Max seemed to have loved it as he was his bouncy self after his day with her. Aleksandra responds to queries immediately. She organized a meet and greet before the stay which was very helpful. Alecksandra updated pictures of Max on the app regularly. All in all, it was a great stay and we'll definitely book her again!

Mirco and Adriana are like home-from-home for our young puppy, Lola. They always take such great care of her, lots of play and walks, with great affection. They have really helped Lola build her confidence around other dogs, which we very much appreciated as first time dog owners. Always so helpful and responsive, we are delighted to have found Adriana and Mirco to help us out when needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Barnet on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 16,276 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Barnet. About 87% of Barnet sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Barnet commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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 Greater London 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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
