“Carina and her family were amazing, they looked after our two dogs and they had the most amazing time, lovely long walks and great fun in their large garden. Would highly recommend Carina”
“Donna and Simon are fantastic. They look after our 1 year old male Cocker Spaniel so well that he loves going round and cries with excitement as we arrive. Our boy has made their home his second home and adores Donna and Simon to bits. We have booked a one night and a 7 night stay. On his stays we get daily updates with photos. We’re so happy to have found Donna through Rover and will definitely book with her again.”
“Cannot fault Stanley’s overnight stay with Abigail! She was sending me pictures every few hours to tell me how he was settling in. Given this was our first time leaving our boy we was apprehensive but we had to convince him to leave with us! Will definitely be going back :)”
“I would highly recommend Laurita as a dog carer! She has been incredibly attentive and caring towards my dog, providing him with the love and attention he needs while I am away. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is happy and well taken care of. I appreciate her reliability, communication, and genuine passion for animals. I feel confident and at ease knowing my dog is in such good hands with her. Thank you for all that you do!”
“We had a great experience with Clare. We met her beforehand to introduce her to Bailey. Clare was friendly and asked good questions about Bailey. Bailey was happy to see Clare when we dropped her off. Clare sent us photos and videos during the week showing Bailey out and about on long walks (and fast asleep afterwards). We felt Bailey was in great hands and would highly recommend Clare.”
“Andrea was absolutely brilliant! I needed to board my dog at her place for a night at very short notice, and she couldn't have been more accommodating. She kept me fully informed throughout with photos and videos, which put my mind at ease. The whole process was so easy for all of us. My dog, Taxi clearly had a fantastic time – the photos speak for themselves! I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone. She's been absolutely fabulous.”
“Gopher is a rescue dog and we wanted to be sure that whoever we chose him to stay with overnight was kind ,considerate of his needs and when needed, would get the reassuring attention, felt safe and got lots of cuddles, he got just that. Lisa’s understanding and patience with gopher made all the difference to him and to us. Lisa is a true doggie person and we would highly recommend her.”
“Thank you Yhozmin & Uli for looking after Wilson. The picture you sent across showed he had a great time with you and the family. I would recommend the service to all!”
“We cannot thank James enough for looking after Rafferty. James kept us up to date with pic's of Raff enjoying himself. He obviously understands dogs really well and is so so patient.... we have an active little Jack Russell, and both James and his pup Benji put up with him for the night, taking great care of him and looking after him. I would 100% recommend James (and Benji) to anyone in the area.”
“I couldnt recommend Lilly and her family more highly to be trusted with your pet. Her warm and friendly nature with pets and their humans makes everyone feel comfortable. My pet certainly made herself at home with her! The frequent updates and photos are appreciated and I am already booking in with Lilly again.”
“Lucy was absolutely wonderful with Amba. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Amba looked happy and settled, and it was lovely to see how well she got on with Lucy’s dog, Babs. It was clear she was well looked after and had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Amba with Lucy again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Sebastian was amazing with Nala! She stayed overnight and really enjoyed herself with his dog Bao, they have become best friends 🥰 They played for hours and Nala had great fun! Sebastian was very reliable and kept me updated with photos and regular updates of how Nala is doing and what she’s been doing. I was able to relax knowing she is safe and happy. I also met Candice his wife who is lovely and you can see they both love dogs very much. Thank you both so much and Nala will definitely be staying with you again soon! 💗🙏🏼”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of our family. I've owned and cared for cats for many years, had my own much-loved French Bulldog, regularly cared for a Labrador and have also fostered cats in our home. Both John and I work from home, so pets staying with us get plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We're very happy to follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, bedtime routines and - most importantly - plenty of cuddles and attention. We have a secure fenced garden and no pets of our own currently. We do have two young children who have grown up around animals, so for boarding/daycare we only accept pets who are comfortable and safe around young children. We know how nerve-racking it can be leaving your pet with somebody new, so we're also very happy to send regular photos and updates while they're with us. We want them to feel like they're staying with family. ❤️ I work full time from home as does my husband so we are always around to help with any animal needs. We have two young children that love animals. I have a fenced garden and lots of treats and toys. Our home is the pets home so they will feel as if they are having a holiday of their own.
About: I've always had pets from cats to dogs etc. I have plenty of years of experience with training and caring for pets from a variety of ages. I am currently working remotely, therefore I am available most days of the week and can work most hours! From early morning to late evening. My schedule is very flexible. I have a fairly large fenced garden, maintaining privacy. Your pet will not feel anxious as it is a peaceful area with minimal disruptions, so your pet can relax.
About: I grew up in Canada and am now based in Hertfordshire. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have had experience with many different breeds from chihuahuas to labs. I love spending time with animals and am available 7 days a week. 😊 I’m currently not working full time so am available 7 days a week for walks and pet sitting. My schedule is quite free at the moment so happy to take last minute bookings. I live in a 2 floor flat with no other pets. I do not have a garden but live a 5 minute walk away from a large park.
About: I’ve been surrounded by family dogs all my life, I grew up with a rescue golden Labrador and currently look after my gorgeous 6 year old cockapoo Peggy. I’ve trained and looked after Peggy since she was 6 weeks old. I run my own business and only work part time so fully flexible with any routine. My children are 14 and 12 and both love dogs. We have two cats Mollie & Mae. Your family pet will be invited into our house and treated as one of our family! Hi, I'm Lucy, I'm the very lucky owner of Peggy, my super soppy 6-year-old Cockapoo — she’s gentle, loving, keeps me busy and reminds me every day how much love dogs bring. We also have two 8 year old cats, Mollie & Mae (we rescued them from the RSPCA when they were kittens 8 years ago) they are loving sisters and keep themselves to themselves, they have their own cat flap that is permanently open for them and they come and go as they please, Peggy gets on really well with them. Caring for dogs & cats combines two of my favourite passions: spending time outdoors and sharing life with four-legged friends. I regularly look after family and friends dogs and love taking them on long, fun walks. Whether it's cuddles at home, playtime in the garden, or a good stretch of the legs, I'll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while in my care. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks. My goal is to provide a flexible, reliable service that gives you peace of mind and gives your dog the same level of love and attention I give Peggy. We live in a beautiful small village in the countryside and have a fully fenced 100ft back garden and 30ft front garden (also gated) with plenty of room to run around. There is a local park only 5 minute walk away along with many country walks for exploring and sniffing. To make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for, please let me know: * Any special needs, behaviours, or routines * Their likes and dislikes * Feeding, walking, and sleeping preferences. That way, I can make sure your pet has the best possible experience with me.

A huge thank you to Lauren! After being let down by our original dog sitter, we were so lucky that Lauren had last-minute availability to look after Skye for a week while we were away on our family holiday. Lauren kept us updated with regular photos of Skye enjoying her walks, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the photos that Skye had a fantastic time and was very happy in Lauren’s care. We would highly recommend Lauren and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. 🐾❤️
Nutmeg had a lovely stay with Demitria and her family! She was very easy to communicate with before and during the stay, and we really appreciate the flexibility with drop off and pick up times. We'll definitely book again. And thank you for helping us out at such short notice!
100% recommend!! What a fantastic couple couldnt of wished for a better stay for my dog. Every need for my dog was met with ease not a worry from me as we had beautiful photos of him playing with the other dogs boarding, out on walks and even chilling in their garden. Even in this heat he was happy and spoiled. This was my very first experience leaving my dog through ROVER and with this experience I’ll be more then happy to booking again. 🤩
Sam looked after my two cockapoos for 2 nights and I'm very happy with the experience. We met beforehand for a meet and greet for my pups to meet Baxter and Sam which was handled really well. I received lovely little updates and photos and would gladly book again. I highly recommend

FAQs for Dog Boarding – East Hertfordshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in East Hertfordshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,612 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across East Hertfordshire. 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 .
