“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.”
“Kate was fantastic! Lulu came back very happy, I had photos of lulu at the park throughout the day with updates. I feel at ease knowing my pup was in such good professional hands. Both lulu and I look forward to the next booking with Kate, I highly recommend.”
“This is our second time with Doris, our puppy Lilu just loves her. Doris kept us updated with lots of pictures, and she took Lilu for a walk. You can tell that Lilu always enjoys her stay with Doris. Highly recommended dog 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.
“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: Lifelong Experience with Dogs and Cats I grew up in a household with two dogs, learning early on the importance of clear routines, daily exercise, regular affection, and consistent boundary management. Pet care has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. Attentive & Compassionate Individual Care Having lived independently with two cats of my own, I am fully accustomed to managing day-to-day feeding schedules, maintaining clean and comfortable spaces, and ensuring pets feel safe and relaxed in their environment. This summer we went on holiday to the mountains and the hotel owner's dog got very attached to us, and accompanied us on long hikes! (with the owner's permission of course, see pics in photos section) Experience with Special Needs & Medication One of my cats required specialized medical attention for a long-term health condition. As a result, I am comfortable, calm, and meticulous when it comes to administering oral medications, following precise dietary schedules, and monitoring health or behavioral changes closely. What You Can Expect Clear Communication: Regular daily photo updates and quick responses to messages so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. Tailored Routines: Strict adherence to your home rules and your pet's established exercise, feeding, and resting schedules. Respectful House Guest: A clean, quiet, and reliable presence in your home while looking after your pets. I work mainly from home so I can occasionally look after pets also during the week (Friday/Monday). I live with my 2 daughters (6 and 10) who love pets and have already had experience of pet sitting with their mum. I live in a flat on the first floor in North London. There is a fenced communal garden. I can provide a safe environment for them
About: I have been passionate about animals all my life and dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I have boarded dogs whilst their owners are on holiday and have been walking dogs professionally for over 15 years. I have a small dog of my own who is also a Pet Therapy Dog. I would be thrilled to board or walk small to medium sized dogs who have been neutered or spayed. My flat is on the ground floor with direct access to a huge communal garden which is fully secure. I have boarded dogs as large as Pharoah Hounds and Huskies to West Highland Terriers, Cocker Spaniels, Yorkshire Terriers and Whippets. I am also experienced in boarding puppies. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like to discuss my experience further. I only board a maximum of two dogs at a time as I like to give my full attention to the dogs in my care. I’m currently working part-time from home so have lots of time for walks with your dog and play time in my secure communal garden. If I do go out, I will only be out for a maximum of 2 hours and your dog would have my small and affectionate dog for company. I have a ground floor flat with direct access to a fully secure, large, fenced communal garden. I have room in my flat for two small dogs or one medium sized dog and my flat is dog proof and entirely safe for dogs to feel comfortable and at ease in my home.
“Laura was fantastic and our dog Charlie looked like he had a great time. She was flexible on timings and was super responsive. I especially enjoyed the regular updates and photos. Would definitely recommend and would love Charlie to stay again. Thank you!”
“I thoroughly recommend Bianca. She's an A* dog carer and very understanding with supportive ideas for our pup. Sceolán gets excited when we dive past her door, even if he's not going in.”
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.
“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.”
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.
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.
“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: 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.

I could not possibly recommend Keemia enough. She was such an accommodating person,very caring and shows a genuine love for animals. It was amazing to see my dog to fit in like he is the part of the family. If I will need care of Taro in future she will be my first choice for sure. ;-) Thank you.
Fayenne was amazing with my dog Bryn. He was settled with her from the get go and she provided regular updates throughout his stay which was reassuring and lovely to see. Fayenne is a very warm person with a lovely home so could not recommend her highly enough to others 🐕❤️
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Barnet on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 16,504 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 .
