“Marjan was wonderful - we had a pre-meet in the park before the first booking, she asked all about our dogs routine and health before caring for Benji, and all throughout the day she kept us updated with pictures and videos which was really reassuring. I was late getting back from work and Marjan was so accommodating keeping him a little later than planned. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Marjan and will definitely be booking her again :)”
“Ru had a fantastic stay with Alexandra! She came back super happy and tired, while having good down time throughout the day. Alexandra was super responsive, asked great questions and clearly knows how to look after an active dog breed - thank you again!”
“I was very nervous to leave Tuffy with her as I never did this before. I’m so glad Tuffy came home happy and Begona took his proper care. She was in touch with her and constantly sending his videos. Hope to see her again.”
“Ariane looked after Wilf really well whilst he had an upset stomach and kept me informed about how he was doing throughout the day. She was a great sitter and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Romy took great care of Beanie and her at-home set-up is ideal for dogs - lots of space to be comfy while she works but also adjoining a garden for them to get fresh air. Beanie seemed relaxed and happy when I picked him up.”
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Kat! North London HR professional and dog lover who shares my home with Thoth, my 5-year-old Norwegian Forest cat. I have strong experience with senior dogs – particularly caring for an elderly Shih Tzu, managing his daily medication and special care needs. My experience includes: - Dogs from 6-month-old puppies to 14-year-olds - All breeds, all ages – I adapt to each dog's individual needs I work for a defence company (fully vetted) and offer some weekday/evening/weekend walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or overnight boarding (my place or yours). Medication management, gentle routines, personalised care – I treat every dog like my own! I work full-time in a hybrid role (3 days WFH), so I have flexible availability: - WFH days: Extra time for walks/drop-ins, or I can stay at your place (with WiFi access) - Weekdays: Available after 5pm + overnights when needed - Weekends: Free Fri–Sun, all day and night In my North London home: Thoth (my curious indoor Norwegian Forest cat) stays indoors but loves watching garden visitors from the window. The garden door stays closed, but we have a secure communal garden (fully fenced, no street access) if your dog needs space to play. No other pets nearby – neighbours don’t own pets, so it’s a calm environment. Parks nearby – just a quick 10–15 min walk away for exercise and fresh air. In your home (house sitting): I follow your routines exactly – feeding, medication, walks, playtime. Secure doors/windows always checked; I treat your home like my own. Happy to water plants, bring in post, or do light housework too.
“I thoroughly recommend Rosie. She is really friendly and was great with our dog. We had never used dog sitting before but Rosie made the whole process super easy. We will definitely be rebooking. Thank you Rosie!”
“Chloe and Phillippe were fantastic with Maya. I received lovely pictures and picked up a very happy dog! Maya almost refused to leave their place because she loved it there so much. Thanks both! X”
“Finn had a lovely day with Molly! Molly was very easy to communicate with and very responsive to messages. We had a lovely meet and greet so Finn was familiar with Molly and her home before going to stay”
“Marco is an absolute find, here on Rover. Marco and Murphy our whippet connected from the word go. After his first time with Marco, he was really happy at pickup time after a very good walk and dinner. Highly recommend him!”
“Sid was absolutely amazing looking after Iggy. She clearly enjoyed his company and had a lovely local walk. When I picked her up, she was happy to see me but didn’t want to leave, which says a lot! Thank you so much, Sid — I’d definitely trust him with her again.”

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.
Marjan looked at Benji at really short notice after our work plans changed, and he had the best day. We really appreciate the regular photos and updates she sends us, it makes us feel assured that he is in good hands. What was extra special to see was how Benji greeted Marjan and her dog that morning, he was really excited to see them again and I could tell how much care she takes of him 😊

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.

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 .
