“Natalie was amazing! She created such a calm and welcoming environment for my dog, Luna. I really appreciated the updates once Luna had settled in, it was clear she was being well cared for and completely at ease. Will definitely be back if I need Luna to be looked after again :)”

“Fiona is so friendly and welcoming. Instantly my dog felt at ease and set off exploring her new home for the next 2 days. Fiona has a genuine love for dogs and my dog was lucky to have such a lovely person looking after her. Fiona updated me with messages and pictures so I could see how the stay was going. Don’t hesitate to book your dog in for a stay with Fiona, they will be throughly spoilt!”
“Sacha and Cristina are brilliant! They took care of Artie overnight and it was clear that he had a wonderful time with lots of walks and playtime. We were regularly sent lovely photos and we really appreciated the communication and updates. Would highly recommend!”
“Hannah took fantastic care of our Corgi for 4 nights! Hannah was great at communication up to and over the stay - sending regular updates and taking out Corgi out and about for lots of walks and trips! Would 100% reccomend 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“We were a little nervous leaving Hugo as he'd never stayed away from home before, but Leanne made the whole experience really easy. She was very responsive, responsible, and clearly knows how to look after dogs properly. Hugo had lots of lovely long walks and plenty of attention, and it was really reassuring to see how much affection he got from Leanne's son too. We could tell he was well cared for and happy. We'll definitely be booking with Leanne again in the future and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“Such a lovely couple! They took Mango in at the very last minute and were absolutely amazing with him. We received lots of photos and updates while we were away, which was so reassuring. They have a great space for dogs and Mango was clearly very well looked after. We’re so grateful and would definitely recommend them! 🐾❤️🐶”
“Melinda looked after my dog Lola whilst we were on holiday for 8 days. She sent regular updates and photos to me which was great. I’d thoroughly recommend Melinda to look after your pet. Lola was happy and contented when she was collected. I definitely will ask Melinda to look after Lola when we next go on holiday. Thanks Melinda”
“Claudia was very flexible and responsive when we booked our small dog in for the day. During the day she sent a video which was reassuring. Mooki was very contented at the end of the day. We were very happy we chose Claudia and would do so again.”
“Mina took care of our spring/collie cross 4yr old over three days. A good summary is our dog did not want to leave! Mina was absolutely lovely with her throughout. Very professional and affectionate towards our dog. Plenty of exercise with quality walks and fantastic communication throughout the stay. Couldn’t ask for more and would definitely recommend.”
About: With 7 years experience in pet sitting and a huge love for animals, I will look after your little buddies like they are my own. You will receive regular photos and updates of how your pet is getting on, and I am reachable at any time. I look after a variety of animals, and also provide training. Pop me a message, I'd love to see how I can help 😊 I work from home in Boxmoor so am able to have your pets stay in my home with me during the week, or I can come and work from your space if you'd prefer. I take 1-2 hours for a lunch break each day so can also do drop-in visits and walks. I am usually busy on weekends, but you can message me to check availability! I live in a pet-free, child-free and smoke-free home. I have a two bedroom house and a garden. I live in a quiet neighborhood with neighbours who also love pets, and lots of parks around us.
“Debbie looked after our dog Winston for a weekend and he had a great time. Debbie was really helpful and accommodating with drop off and pickup times, and shared updates with us throughout Winston’s stay. We highly recommend Debbie and would definitely use her again.”
“Archie had a great time with David and family! He was taken on long walks and lots of adventures and came back a tired but happy dog! I would certainly recommend David to fellow dog owners and would be happy to leave Archie with him again”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog sitter for the past 2 to 3 years. What started as looking after pets for friends and family naturally expanded into helping out others in need of reliable care. I’ve recently relocated to Berkhamsted and am excited to start building a fresh local network here! Because I work from home three days a week and have full weekend availability, I can offer your dog plenty of consistent company, cuddles, and supervision. If this sounds like a great match for your routine, please feel free to reach out—I'd love to chat! I work from home three days during the week and have full availability on the weekends. My schedule is flexible, meaning I can easily structure my day around your dog's needs. Your furry friend will always have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day I live in a secure ground-floor flat featuring a private, fully fenced back garden with direct access to my home. Safety is a top priority: my entry features double doors to the outside, and the back garden has a secure, locked gate for complete peace of mind while your dog plays outside.
“Karen was so caring for our dog Cosmo. We got regular updates on how he was getting on and I felt really comfortable leaving him with Karen and her family. He had a great time!”
“Sarah and Phil were brilliant! My dog Vilko seemed very content with them since the very beginning, and it showed how well he was treated - he was happy and buzzing when I picked him up. They are also both very kind people, who are confident and caring - Vilko has even got an amazing xmas present from them. 100% recommend.”
“Freya was absolutely amazing with Renzo while we were abroad for a week, and provided daily updates with photos of their many scenic walks! On the day I dropped Renzo, Freya and her mum offered to all go on a walk together with Renzo which was so lovely. Freya was so accommodating with Renzo’s separation anxiety and restructured her days so that he’d always be kept company! Will definitely be booking with Freya and her mum again. Thanks again, so much xx”

This was the first time we were leaving Milo in the two years we have had him and so we were all very nervous leaving him. Emma and her family welcomed Milo into their home and we knew he was in the best place while we were away. We received lots of regular updates and were completely reassured that he was happy and very well cared for while we were away, we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.
Another great stay with Victoria! Giorgio is becoming so comfortable with her and it’s lovely to see how relaxed and happy he is when he goes there. Victoria is incredibly kind and patient with him, and we really appreciate how attentive she is to his behaviour and routine. We’re so happy to have found her.
Fiona is so friendly and welcoming. Instantly my dog felt at ease and set off exploring her new home for the next 2 days. Fiona has a genuine love for dogs and my dog was lucky to have such a lovely person looking after her. Fiona updated me with messages and pictures so I could see how the stay was going.

Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Otis. Amber was incredibly warm and personable from the moment off, she and Otis hit it off straight away. She kept me updated throughout with plenty of photos and messages, and genuinely made him feel very at home. He had lots of walks, loads of love and attention, and honestly seemed disappointed to leave when I picked him up. It’s obvious how much care Amber puts into the dogs she looks after, and I'd happily book with her again.
Caitlin was really lovely and took brilliant care of our miniature labradoodle, Artie! We received regular (and very cute) photo updates where Artie was engaged in various activities and having a great time. Artie came home after his overnight stay very happy and well looked after. Would highly recommend Caitlin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dacorum on Rover is £37.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 14,577 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dacorum. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- 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 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.
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 .
