“Zhané was great! She looked after our dog for the afternoon into early evening and sent some pics/ videos as the time went on. Ritz seemed really comfortable with her and I’m sure he’d be very happy to see her again :)”
“Becca is absolutely fantastic. She’s looked after our 10 week old cocker spaniel Maisie a few times now and is so wonderful with her. Maisie absolutely adores her and we love the updates. Friendly, communicative and clearly super knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and Maisie can’t wait to see her again!”
“Ben has looked after our two twice now and he's great - they've been really badly behaved both time and he's been really good about it. We get little updates and he leaves the house spotless.”
“Ellen is a wonderful sitter — Chaves has stayed with her more than once and she's coming back again this week, which speaks for itself. She did a meet and greet first, asked all the right questions, and kept me updated the whole time. Easygoing, caring, and reliable. Chaves and I are lucky to have found her!☺️🐶”

“Jess is a lovely dog sitter. She looked after our teething puppy who is a lot of work at this stage! Harvey seemed to enjoy his time with Jess and even gained more confidence on the walks and around the house. Jess sent us regular updates and Harvey's photos.”
“Amy was a dream! I trusted her instantly with both my dog and my house, he was looked after soooo well and enjoyed all the cuddles. Amy sent lots and lots of photos and it was very clear Angus has a new best friend. 🐶❤️”
“Cora is brilliant with Buddy, she is calm and kind and looked after Buddy beautifully whilst we were away. He can be anxious but Cora took the time to slowly get to know him and is very patient. We are very glad to find her.”
“Andrea was absolutely wonderful with Chaves. She took great care of him, gave him a long walk, and kept us constantly updated, which we really appreciated. She’s a lovely person with a warm smile, and it truly showed in how comfortable Chaves felt with her. When she left, he even cried a little 🥰 — a clear sign of how much he loved her. We would definitely recommend Andrea!🐶🩵”

Over the years I’ve looked after dogs, cats and small pets for friends, family and neighbours, providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship and lots of love and attention. I’m patient, reliable and always make each pet’s wellbeing my priority. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet cuddle, I’ll tailor my care to suit their routine and personality. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and well cared for while you’re away.

I’ll always make time for walks, play, cuddles and companionship, and I’ll keep to your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible.

About: After pet sitting throughout my studies, I have missed my cuddly companions. Now that I have moved to Boxmoor and am working from home, I can look after your pets like they are my own. I look after a variety of animals, just reach out to chat 😊 I am working from home in Boxmoor so am able to have your pets stay in my home with me during the week, or I can come to work from your space if you'd prefer. I take 1 hour 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.
“Emma stayed and looked after our usually pretty unfriendly cat however instantly charmed her, would absolutely recommend her as a pet sitter. We received lots of photos of Sammy looking content and cared for and the house was spotless when we got home. Not sure whether to be offended or not that my cat likes Emma more than she likes me!”
About: With over 9 years of personal experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Having raised a toy-sized poodle and a golden retriever mix, I’m skilled at handling both small and large breeds. I excel in creating a safe, comfortable environment, whether it’s for energetic puppies, senior dogs requiring extra patience, or pets with specific routines. My dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals set me apart as a trusted sitter. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I enjoy dedicating time to walks, play, and providing companionship, ensuring each pet feels loved and well-cared for. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate feeding times, exercise, and any special needs pets may have. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I prioritize creating a structured yet comforting routine for the pets in my care. In my home, I create a warm and secure environment where pets feel like part of the family. I ensure they have a cozy space to relax, plenty of exercise, and engaging activities to keep them happy. I follow their routines closely, including feeding, walks, and playtime, while offering lots of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I maintain their established routines to minimize stress. I’m respectful of the space, keep it tidy, and communicate regularly with updates and photos to provide peace of mind. My focus is always on the pet’s comfort and well-being, whether at my home or theirs.
“Rachel was great, very responsive and took the time to understand all the details about how to manage both our dogs. Unfortunately, our older lab Maia, had to be put down a couple of days before, so it was the first time Cal had been on his own without her or us. It wasn’t the easiest weekend, but Rachel handled it all very patiently. We would definitely recommend her and would book her again.”
“Sophie again did a wonderful job of looking after our home and 6 year old cockerpoo. Sophies communication was superb and we came home to a spotless house and a very contented dog! Thanks Sophie - look forward to seeing you soon!”
“Georgina was a super new friend for Zara. She turned up on time and took her out for two walks and mad sure she was well looked after. The best sign of all is when Zara didn't want her to leave. I'd highly recommend Georgina.”
“Caitlin has been super friendly, reliable and my dog has been happy to see her once again! Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will look after your pet like they're hers 🐾”

Sacha and Cristina were absolutely brilliant with our dog and cat, whilst we were away for the Christmas break. Our dog is reactive and has a number of needs (he’s usually nervous when left with sitters) BUT he absolutely loved having them come to stay in our home. We had constant updates, and our minds were at ease the whole trip. When we got back home, the home was spotless. We highly recommend both to be trusted to sit your furry members of your family. We can’t wait to use them again, I know the boys will miss them ⭐
Becca is absolutely fantastic. She’s looked after our 10 week old cocker spaniel Maisie a few times now and is so wonderful with her. Maisie absolutely adores her and we love the updates. Friendly, communicative and clearly super knowledgeable. Would highly recommend and Maisie can’t wait to see her again!
Sarah was amazing when she stayed at my house to look after my dog. She listened to all his care instructions, was reallt patient with him and made him feel super comfortable. I also got lots of photo updates from him relaxing and out on walks. I would highly recommend!! Thanks so much Sarah :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dacorum on Rover is £40.25 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Dacorum walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dacorum choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
