About: I have 3 cats and a dog, so I am well versed in looking after both! I have a cat with no hair, another cat with an autoimmune condition that needs to be managed daily, another cat that uses our house like a hotel and dog that has high energy needs… I’m an expert when it comes to managing whatever you need for your pet (because I’ve already had to do it with my clan 🤣). I can look after your dog and they will be taken for walks / ball throws (or if they’re a couch potato, less activity) whatever suits them and their routine. If I look after your cat, they will be in a dedicated room with cat toys and beds + a dedicated cat tray and food bowls etc With me, I know how important it is to feel like you trust someone to love your pet as much as you and I will always have regular and open dialogue with you (pics / updates and anything else you need) If your pet needs meds, trust me, I am the ultimate expert in giving meds whether that be tables or liquids etc. any questions, please let me know and I’d be happy to help I work full time from home, I’m positioning myself as someone that can take in your dog or your cat into my home and provide them with constant care and affection. Your cat will be in the dedicated cat room while your dog will be with my cockapoo Dogs - will be kept with my cockapoo. I have fenced garden (with cameras) and a big green I can throw a ball for them for. Alternatively (depending on how active your dogs needs are) they will come on a daily walk with me and George (my dog) If your dog is elderly or less active, I can also accommodate that. Cat - if you need boarding for your cat, I have a dedicated cat room with toys and beds etc. I will continually monitor them throughout the day for all their needs to be met. I will give you regular updates (as many as you like) my aim is to have you not worry at all about your pet whilst you’re away Any Q’s please let me know

About: Hi, we are Lauren and Paul, and together with our family we are passionate dog lovers based in Goffs Oak. After saying goodbye to our beloved family dog of 15 years, we're not quite ready for the commitment of another dog of our own. What we do know is that our home feels a little quieter without four paws around, and we'd love to share that spare love and attention with your dog. We have both grown up around dogs of all shapes and sizes, from energetic Boxers to affectionate Jugs, and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply having company throughout the day, we'll make sure they feel safe, happy and right at home. Due to Paul working from home, and myself being part time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of attention, companionship and care throughout the day. We offer both daycare and boarding, fitting naturally around our family life. We're fortunate to live in a fantastic location surrounded by fields and beautiful walking routes, allowing us to tailor walks to your dog's normal routine and energy levels. For more active dogs, we're also happy to include longer walks or runs where appropriate. Most importantly, we understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else. We will care for your dog as if they were part of our own family, with plenty of cuddles, belly rubs, affection and, of course, the occasional well-earned treat. We can't wait to meet you and your furry friend. As a part-time teacher, I am home during school holidays, and Paul works from home four days a week (one weekday off) during term time. This means your dog will enjoy plenty of company throughout the day and is only likely to be left alone briefly during school runs, typically under an hour at a time, twice a day. Our availability will reflect when someone is home to spend time with your dog. We have three daughters aged 6, 10 and 12 who have grown up with our own dog, Frank. They understand how to behave respectfully around dogs and are used to the responsibilities that come with caring for pets. While our 10-year-old can sometimes be a little cautious around larger dogs initially, she quickly gains confidence and is always gentle and kind. Your dog's comfort and happiness are our priority. We are happy to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible, whether that's sleeping on a particular bed, using a crate, following feeding schedules or taking medication (with clear instructions provided). Our home offers: 🐾 A fully enclosed and secure garden, with fencing of at least 5 feet 🐾 Plenty of attention, affection and family interaction 🐾 Sofa cuddles allowed for dogs who are used to them 🐾 Flexible sleeping arrangements, including dog beds or crates downstairs 🐾 Simple medication administration if required 🐾 Regular updates and photos during their stay 🐾 Weekend bookings available, often even at short notice One thing that makes us different is that we only host dogs from a single household at any one time. This means your dog won't be sharing space with unfamiliar boarding dogs and can enjoy a calmer, more personalised experience with plenty of one-to-one attention. We know how important it is to leave your dog with people you trust, and we will care for them as if they were our own. We look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home.

About: I’m a dedicated and passionate dog walker with over a year of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m currently studying Veterinary Medicine at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), which gives me a strong understanding of animal health, behaviour, and welfare that I bring into every walk and interaction. Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of dogs, from energetic puppies to older dogs, as well as dogs with very different personalities and needs. I understand that every dog is an individual, and I always take the time to get to know their temperament, routines, boundaries, and preferences so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. What sets me apart is my veterinary background. As a vet student, I have a deeper understanding of canine health, body language, behaviour, and wellbeing, allowing me to be attentive to things that others may overlook. I’m confident recognising when a dog may be uncomfortable, stressed, unwell, or behaving differently from their normal self, and I always prioritise their safety and welfare. I take great pride in providing reliable, caring, and personalised pet care. My reviews on Bark reflect the trust and positive experiences I’ve built with the dogs and owners I’ve worked with. For me, dog walking isn’t simply a job — it’s something I genuinely love. I’m passionate about animals and treat every dog in my care as an individual, giving them the attention, patience, exercise, and affection they deserve. As a flexible veterinary student, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time during the week to pet care. I receive my university timetable well in advance, which means I can plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and make sure I can give them the time and attention they deserve. I’m happy to be flexible with the length and frequency of visits, whether your dog needs a shorter walk, several hours of company throughout the day, or regular care across multiple days. I can arrange my availability in advance with you, making it easy to find a routine that works for both you and your pet. My studies also mean that I understand how important consistency, routine, and individual care are for animals. I always aim to be reliable, organised, and accommodating when planning pet care. When caring for pets in their own home, my priority is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their familiar surroundings. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and individual needs, so I always take the time to follow the routine they are used to. I’m happy to provide everything from feeding and fresh water to walks, playtime, enrichment, companionship, and general care. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their space when they need some quiet time.

About: My partner and I also live directly opposite a huge park within fields and meadows by Lea Valley park. This is such a beautiful place to live and has loads of incredible walking spots and vast fields. We also have our own private land consisting of 15 acres so if your dog isn’t sociable, we can bring them there and let them run and sniff all day long! We are encouraging, caring and thoughtful and always pride ourselves on doing the best for the clients and dogs we look after. We’re committed to creating strong bonds with the dogs in our care and strive to keep their daily routines as active or as relaxed as you’d want! We have our own Dalmatian x Rough Collie dog named Edie - taking her home at 12 weeks means we understand puppy, adolescent and adult dog behaviours. We have trained her extensively and she has great recall and can do some fun tricks! (Our dog won’t be present during the sits so don’t worry if your dog isn’t too keen!) Alongside our own dog, we frequently house sit at a clients home, sorting out house duties and looking after their 15 year old Cockapoo, Coco. We administer her medication orally twice a day and take her on short walks. We have strong experience caring for the needs of senior dogs - knowing when to give them space or time to rest/recover. We also frequently dog sit Bridie’s sisters dog Bambi, a Dachshund x Springer Spaniel. She is exceptionally energetic so we take time training her, taking her on long runs and improving her recall. We’ve got a 30m long lead so we can practice recall safely with your furry friend :) Overall, we have varied experience working with dogs of all ages and sizes. We enjoy being active and training dogs so they’ll always be well looked after in my care. I’ve (Bridie) had dogs all my life, it’s second nature to me now! Our first family dog was Poppy, a beautiful mixed breed (Alsatian x collie) from our local rescue centre. She lived a long and fruitful life, going on regular walks through the forest and was soon joined by another furry friend, Spike. Her boisterous and loving sidekick — a staffy!! Our family then decided to get a brother, sister duo called Lunar and Rambo. They were puppies when we got them. They’re super relaxed dogs, who LOOOVEE food! Laura-Mae is currently working part-time meaning I have extra time to look after your dog and their needs. Bridie works full time but is completely remote so can always come along on morning walkies! We’re both very communicative and can’t wait to look after your fur baby to ensure they are fully comfortable. We are always up for a morning walk so your dog can easily join us ! We are strict on feeding and medication times so will always be prepared for this. Laura-Mae is very organised so have set routines that I like to follow so am happy to implement routines with your pets and be as relaxed or as regimented as you’d like. We also have a car with a dog seatbelt so can easily take them further afield to the nearby forests and go on a hike or take them to get a new toy or treat! We have a fenced medium garden/patio area in the front of our flat so they can be supervised in the front if they need some fresh air or a quick wee! We have space for crates of any size so can crate your pets if needed or do crate training. There will be no other pets staying with us so your fur baby will have our 100% love and attention. We’d always send photos and videos of your pets enjoying the lovely fields around us. We have been trusted with house keys, security systems, medication, cleaning, plant watering, etc so if we come round and supervise your dog/cat from your home - We can also help around the house! (Laura-Mae loves cleaning!)

About: I am a professional dog walker. I am currently taking a break to be a stay at home Mum and I really miss having regular dogs to look after and walk. My friendly Labrador Rosie also misses the company of other dogs. I am used to walking groups of dogs, solo dogs, puppies and reactive dogs. I have lots of experience with different breeds too and understanding of dog behaviour. I am currently a stay at home Mum. I have two young children (aged 1 and 2.5) and a dog of my own. I am at home a lot and am able to dedicate time to care for and play with your pet. I have a huge fenced and secure garden which your dog will adore. (See photos) My dog is here all the time too for company and to play. She is also very well trained and used to being around all sorts of temperament of dog. I also have the space to be able to separate my own dog and your dog, if necessary as I have a large conservatory. I always want your dog to be comfortable with me so I am happy for dogs to sleep where they usually do at home. Whether that’s downstairs, in a crate or upstairs with me.

About: I have always had a genuine love for animals, especially dogs and cats. I am a proud owner of two wonderful dogs, Toffee and Oreo, who are a huge part of my family and have given me plenty of hands-on experience in caring for pets. I understand the importance of providing animals with love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where they feel comfortable and happy. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I regularly look after my neighbour’s cat whenever they are away, ensuring they are well-fed, comfortable, and given plenty of affection. My passion for caring for animals comes naturally, and I am confident in building trust with pets of different personalities and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving every dog and cat the same level of care and attention that I give to my own pets. I am currently not working so I have plenty of time to do what I love and spend time with dogs and cats! I am very flexible and reliable! I have a fenced garden and a very friendly dog! Your pet will be very safe with me I am very reliable and caring! When your animal is with me you can safely relax !

About: I lost both my beagles during the last two years but people always commented on how well behaved and loving they both were. I have always had a deep connection with animals and have owned cats, guinea pigs, tropical fish, hens as well as my beautiful beagles. Your doggies will be loved and cared for, they will have a home from home with me with plenty of cuddles. I currently work from home part time as a psychotherapist and work from my practice in Hertford once a week for a couple of hours. I spend most of my time at home gardening and keeping fit. I have a fully fenced secure garden which your fur babies can use at anytime. I have cared for other people's dogs at home now for 10 years but had a break to finish off my training as a therapist. I miss going on doggy walks since I lost my two beagles so im very keen to start walking again.I work very few hours but during those times my son is available to keep an eye on things.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Broxbourne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Broxbourne on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 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 16,232 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Broxbourne. About 87% of Broxbourne 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 Broxbourne 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 East of 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.

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.
