“Ed and Nat were great, they were really accommodating to meet Rufus beforehand so we knew he’d be okay. The communication was fantastic, they kept us updated throughout the day and Rufus seemed to have a good day. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
About: Hello fellow dog owners, I am NEW on Rover! I bring a genuine passion for animals and their well-being to every visit. Beyond the basics, I’ve got experience in puppy training helping the bundle of joy learn good habits. I’m also comfortable with caring for senior dogs who may have unique needs and require a more gentle approach. You can relax knowing your beloved pet is in capable and caring hands, no matter their age! I am a co owner of a Yorkshire terrier, aged 8, who I dog sit occasionally (since moving out of my mum’s house!). This means I can cater for just your dog, if they are not comfortable around other dogs. I’m currently working on a flexible schedule during the week and free on weekends. Happy to accommodate evenings, or overnight. I value good communication and will give sufficient notice should any plans change. Being a co-owner to a much-loved, playful Yorkshire terrier, I understand the importance of excellent care. I offer a convenient service where I travel to you to look after your furry family member(s) in the comfort of their own home. Equally, they are more than welcome to stay with me in my maisonette. Plus, I have my own car for prompt transportation in case of an emergency.

“Raku's second visit to Melinda's house and it went great. They took such good care of her playing fetch and letting her really relax and settle in. Lovely people and great communication!”
“Emily clearly loves and understands dogs. I was nervous about leaving Mabel with someone else for the first time, but Emily put all my worries at ease! I really appreciated the regular updates and the care, kindness and attention Mabel received. Thank you, Emily, for being so accommodating, particularly at such short notice. I couldn’t have left Mabel in a nicer home!”
“Jenny was excellent! We did a meet & greet before the Rover booking and discussed our dog Tilly’s routine, feeding etc. Great communication throughout the daycare and we received lots of photos. Will definitely be booking with Jenny again, Tilly loved her stay :)”

“Ally was amazing with our 20 month old cocker spaniel. You can tell that Ally really loves the animals she looks after and cares for them like they’re her own. She kept in contact and sent us pictures and videos and it was so lovely to see our pup having such a wonderful time. Ally has a beautiful large garden which is ideal and I know our dog loved! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ally. Thanks again.”

“We have never used a dog sitter who wasn’t family before and so were nervous about finding a sitter. Emma made me feel so at ease from our first meeting and I felt more than happy to leave Maddie with her. I got lots of pictures to reassure me all was good during her stay. When I picked Maddie up, she was so happy and content after her stay with Emma and Nathan. I will definitely be booking again! ☺️”

Anna kept us updated with some pics throughout the day and when we picked Winnie up she was her happy and playful self. Would definitely recommend Anna and use her again in the future”

Victoria has been absolutely wonderful with Giorgio. From the very beginning, she made a real effort to get to know him and arranged a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he felt comfortable with her and in her home before his first stay. She is incredibly patient, caring and clearly very knowledgeable about dogs. We felt completely at ease leaving Giorgio with her.
Chloe is genuinely one of the nicest, most accommodating, animal lovers I've met. I could not recommend her more highly, she is absolutely fantastic. My Roxy loves her stays and cuddles with Chloe. Thank you for taking such amazingly good care of my little floof ball
Agne was super lovely and Feddy had a great time with her. I could tell he really warmed up to her and was very relaxed. She has a beautiful dog Pablo who is absolutely the cutest, and he and Feddy got on so well. She kept me updated throughout and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend!
Jack has spent his second day with Natalie today. He very happily went into the house on arrival and from the lovely photos Natalie sent he has had a happy day. We are delighted he is settling down so well and are going to try an overnight stay next time. Thank you Natalie and Edward.
Lauren-Melissa was absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anyone. Such a nice person and my little Charlie clearly had a very good time. He also met a new corgi friend! She also sent me photos to show what a good time Charlie was having, which I appreciated. If you want someone to be a dog carer, you will not find a better person!
Alex was great with looking after Rufus for us. Communication was fantastic throughout the booking and daycare. Alex was really accommodating and was happy to have a meet and greet with Rufus beforehand so he could get to know her. Would be more than happy leaving Rufus with Alex again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dacorum 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 15,819 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Dacorum. About 87% of Dacorum 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 Dacorum 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.
