“Excellent and prompt communication, very flexible over timings, clear directions. My dog Poppy had a wonderful day with Clare and her two cockers including long country walks, sunny lazing in the garden and cuddles. Would highly recommend and will definitely ask Clare again.”
“I couldn't be happier with Kara. She looks after my 2 year old rescue dog who can be a little bit timid and is still learning. Her dogs bring out his playful side and he loves being dropped off with them for the day. I'm so pleased to find somewhere he can be so happy and settled. Thank you so much!”
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.
“My dog took to Jess immediately and was very comfortable with her. Jess obviously has lots of experience with dog care and gave me some very useful tips. I will certainly use Jess again.”
“Extremely happy with such a warm welcome & response from Ashleigh & John. We were kept updated on Percy's day, he was so well looked after & walked too. Would highly recommend for your furry friends. Thank you both xx”
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.
“James was absolutely wonderful, highly recommend! James has looked after my spaniel Marnie after we met for an initial meet and greet. He understood Marnie might be a little unsettled at first and took the best care to help her relax with Benji & Taco. James made me feel so reassured throughout the day & clearly has such a passion and understanding for dogs. I’ll be using James again ☺️”
“Franceska looked after my puppy so well, who I appreciate can be really high energy. Maple came back so happy and I felt she was in such good hands so I felt so confident leaving her. Franceska kept in contact, was so friendly and sent some lovely photos through. I would highly recommend her to look after your pups and I will be booking again for sure!”
About: I can’t remember a time when we didn’t have a dog and couldn’t imagine our house without one. My dogs are my children and that’s exactly how I would treat yours. I work from home full time so will be able make to give your furry friend the love and attention they deserve. Your doggie will need to be happy around others and play nicely as we have our own but there is nothing more they love than a new play mate. I work from home full time so they will get regular walks and plenty of garden time when needed. My three will make sure they get plenty of play time too! Regular walks, baths when muddy. Our back garden has fake grass so perfect to keep them clean during winter months. Happy to have them on furniture etc
“Remi had a lovely few hours with Demitria and her family ,, made me feel very comfortable, have already booked for Remi to stay with them . Thank you very much . Even let Remi have a toy from there house that I’m sure belonged to there little dog 🐶”
About: Hi my names Lauren I am an experienced, caring, reliable pet sitter. I have looked after cats and dogs for the last 8 years. I have worked in various Kennels and Catteries since I left school and studied Animal Care at Capel Manor College. I have worked with a wide range of livestock, exotic animals and zoo animals while studying in Animal Care. I offer pet sitting, pet feeding, dog walking and over night stays at affordable prices. I am trained to administer medication, injectables and I am Canine First Aid & CPR trained. I offer a service that gives you peace of mind; I have good friends, family and business clients who can vouch for me and the services I offer. I am happy to meet you and your pet beforehand to run through all their needs and make the arrangements for whilst you’re away. I know what it's like, I wouldn't leave my babies with anyone and I always worry when I'm not around so I will make sure I do everything I can for you to know they are cared for. I will send you updates and pictures frequently and if you would like me to do any general cleaning, take the bins out or turn certain lights on/off I will be more than happy to do so. Any questions, drop me a message😊 I am available for pet sitting, overnight stays, pop in visits and walking. I can collect from your home or you can drop of to me. I will always leave your home in the same or better condition than i arrived in. Your pet will be in safe hands with me and I will abide by your rules throughout!
“I found Abigail when looking for a sitter that could look after a younger puppy, herself and James have been brilliant with Luna who is just 11 weeks old. Luna seemed to be feel immediately secure with them and I received regular updates. I straight away booked Luna in for another day which also went brilliantly, Luna even seemed to recognise their door and get excited about being there. I highly recommend Abigail and will 100% be booking Luna in with her again when needed.”
“Yhozmin and family were lovely! Holly was greeted with such warmth and care. Regular updates & pictures throughout the day. Definitely recommend this kind & loving family to look after your pet”
About: As a toddler, I learnt to walk with the help of my family's gorgeous golden retriever. I now live on a narrowboat and move around East and North East London, spending my time walking around Lea Valley Park, Hackney Marshes and Victoria Park with various furry friends, some of whom also enjoy stays on my boat. While I don't have a private garden, I do always have the towpath and usually a big park right on my doorstep. I work freelance from home as a translator, so my day-to-day is very flexible. Whether there's a dog staying or not, my days always start with a walk or a run around my local green space. I love being outdoors so would welcome dogs who need longer and/or more frequent walks, but am also happy to provide cuddles and a calm environment at home. My boat has a comfy sofa and space for a crate if required. While I don't have my own private garden, I have easy access to the towpath and am usually a stone's throw from one of East/North-East London's parks.

“Luna is in very safe hands with Renato and his wife they are great! Luna always comes back happy and I get lots of updates throughout the day 😊. Rudolph is such a lovely dog him and Luna get on so well together! Thanks so much both”
“My Cockapoo Jeanie had a great day at Carina’s house playing with her dog Bella and her daughter. She was treated like part of the family right away and made herself at home in Bella’s comfy bed. Played in the garden throughout the day and went on a nice walk too. It was so nice to receive update photos and messages while I was at work and I felt happy knowing she was being cared for and I didn’t have to worry. Thank you Carina, Jeanie looks forward to her next stay with you 🥰”

There are 15,576 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in East Hertfordshire. About 87% of East Hertfordshire 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 East Hertfordshire 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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
