“We had Molly stay with our 2 German Shepard’s for 2 nights while we were away getting married. Molly made sure the dogs were well looked after and updated us with photos. Prior to staying, Molly did meet and greets for the dogs to get used to her and they were instantly comfortable around Molly, which put our minds at ease. We will be using Molly again for any future nights away and can recommend her highly! Thanks Molly x”

“I am so relieved to have found James to look after my Jack Russell, Jasper, for me. James is a very calm and gentle person and was amazing with Jasper. He also looked after the house beautifully and kept it pristine. My tomatoes were lovingly watered and are thriving too. Travelling next time will not be stressful knowing that I can count on James.”


About: Hi, I’m a second-year undergraduate student studying Zoo Biology and Animal Science, with a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management. I’m passionate about animal welfare and have experience working with a wide range of species, breeds, temperaments, and behavioural needs. I’m confident caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens needing patience, routine, and basic training reinforcement, to senior pets who may require medication, gentle handling, or extra support. I understand how important it is to maintain a pet’s normal routine, so I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, exercise plans, enrichment activities, and any specific care instructions closely. Having worked with animals in both practical and educational settings, I’m comfortable with nervous, shy, reactive, or high-energy pets and always aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment for them. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals, making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s wellbeing and happiness will always be my top priority I study from home and am currently working on a research project/ dissertation for ky final year at university. This means I am completely open and have no set schedule, flexibility is key. I have qualifications in animal handling and I will always put animals first. My home is safe and so is your fur baby.i have a dog of my own, a little 4yr dachshund and his temperament is very docile and he is recall trained
About: I have studied animal care for 4 years now. I have a Level 2/3 & 4 Diploma in Animal Care! Also have completed a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Psychology! I’m currently not working so I’m very flexible in what times and how long I can spend with your beloved animal! Animals are very high up on my priority list!! I’m more than happy to feed/give fresh water to your beloved fur baby! Also I’m not afraid to wash/groom them or even have playtime with them! I’m also available to take your pet for a walk in all weathers!!
About: Growing up my aunt owned a cattery & kennels, so I spent many years helping out, caring for the animals. I’ve always had my own dogs & cats, mainly from rescues as I could never bare to see them unloved. My nan always said, never trust a man who doesn’t like dogs haha & I live by that. I’m currently working part time, Wednesday - Friday for around 5 hours a day but have flexibility around my days and hours if need be. Obviously if there is an pet that cannot be left for longer then a set time, I would carefully take this into consideration. I would treat your pet as if it were my own & with the utmost care. I understand that every pet & their owner is different & may require different care, so would openly discuss this upon booking.
“Jess has been amazing looking after Woody ( and our house) for 3 weeks. Woody clearly loved Jess from the pictures and messages we got during our holiday and this took all the stress of leaving our dog whilst we were away. We would happily book Jess again.”

“It was the first time we’d used a house-sitting dog carer. Karolina immediately put everyone at ease- she’s very warm and friendly - our two spaniels loved her straight away. Karolina is very professional and it was reassuring to go away for the weekend knowing that the dogs and our elderly cat were in good hands. It was lovely to receive some photos of and a little update. It was a great experience and we would definitely use Karolina’s services again. Highly recommend !”


About: I work part-time so I am very flexible. I have experience walking and looking after a variety of dog breeds for family members and friends (including: border collie, dachshund, Dogue de Bordeaux). I own a border collie so I am comfortable with high energy dogs. I have experience volunteering at dog centres across South East Asia, walking and caring for multiple dogs at one time. I’m currently working part-time, I am available daytime a few days a week. I can also be available for evenings or longer stays. I have a car if needed to transport your dog for walks. I am happy using crates if your dog is comfortable in one. I am happy to meet up prior to walking your dog to gain trust and make sure the dog feels comfortable.

About: I absolutely adore dogs and cats and have been around them and have taken care of them throughout most of my life. I have a professional background in pet care as I have worked for two different services while living in New York City (Barkly Pets and Oh To Be A Dog) where I traveled all around the city visiting and walking dogs. It was one of my favorite jobs I've ever had and it would be my pleasure to help out anyone in or around Hertford who need someone to look after this furry little friend! I'm currently working part time and will either have the day or evening fully open on weekdays to walk or visit your pet! During the weekend, I am more than happy to be fully available to have your pet stay here in my home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can more than likely adhere to your schedule and needs! I live in a house in Hertford that has a fairly small fenced in garden where your pet can use to relieve themselves or sunbathe. I also have a very cool basement where your pet can go if it's a bit too warm outside. There is also a huge and beautiful park right near my house where I can take your dog for nice long walk as well. I will make sure to have water and snacks on hand as well if they are ever hungry or thirsty as well.
“Mollie looked after our large breed dog at our home and was really brilliant. Her communication was excellent and she took such good care of both him and our house. We couldn’t recommend her enough!”


About: I am currently back living at home with my parents & rescue dog Alfie!! There is no better company than a dog (although deep down I’ve always been a cat person number 1- don’t tell Alfie!). I’ve done multiple dog sits and pop ins for cats. I get just as much out of it as them, and find it hard to say goodbye!! I am reliable and have been doing the same pups & cats for a few years. I am a restaurant supervisor, so my hours are odd and I tend to get random weekdays off. I’ll most likely be serving a Sunday roast on a Sunday. My hours range from 9-3, 9-5,12-5, 5/6 - cls and once or twice a week I’ll work a double. I am a cat / dog sitter so will come to you. I am very experienced with cats, and own two big dogs so size does not bother me! In fact my sausage dog that I dog sit is the one I fear the most ;)
“Amy is absolutely amazing! This is the first time that we have had someone look after Rosie who isn’t family. We immediately felt relaxed and at ease with Amy and had no worries at all about Rosie the entire weekend that we were away. We came home to an immaculate house and a very happy pup! Thank you so much xx”

“Isabelle looked after our Buster for the day, very welcoming and easy to speak too. We felt reassured throughout the day. Buster enjoyed his visit and would happily use Isabelle’s services again ❤️”

About: I've had dogs all of my life. I've recently lost my show cocker spaniel in December 2023 named Buttons. I miss him dearly and miss the company of having a dog in my life and home. I have the pleasure of looking after my son's working cocker spaniel Jessie aged just 10 weeks when he is off on holiday. I work in a primary school in Hoddesdon as a teaching assistant and I have lived in Hertford all of my life. I work term time so I am only available in the school holidays and most weekends. I have a fenced garden and a locked outside gate. Dogs can be crated or have the downstairs to themselves. They are allowed on sofas and beds.

About: With 5 years of pet-sitting experience, I've gained a large skill set in hands-on activities, both dog-led and pre-mapped walks, dog training, and even dog grooming. Throughout my whole life I've been around dogs and cats, so caring for them is second nature to me. I'm interested in looking after your lovely pups and cats both around the UK and abroad! I'm taking a gap year before university, so have a completely free year to travel and take care of your pets at any time! I will make sure to abide by any rules / recommendations each owner puts in place for their particular pet, on top of making sure expectations are exceeded with lots of dedicated attention for every pup and kitty! I am a neat and tidy person, and I make sure to respect owner's homes when pet-sitting 😊
About: Hey everyone :), I am excited to get to know you & your furry friends. I have grown up with dogs from a young age, and have always believed a dog makes a home complete. I would love to tend to all the needs of your pet/pets, feel free to contact me with any enquiries. I am a a stay at home mum, available all days of the week to care to spend time and take care of your fur baby. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe and loving environment. Depending on the service you need, I am flexible and will try my best to cater to the personal needs of each client .
About: While I’ve spent a lot of time caring for cats, my love for dogs is just as strong—and I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through sitting for friends, family, and neighbours over the years. From playful puppies to older dogs who need a slower pace, I’ve cared for them all. I understand how important consistency, calm energy, and clear communication are when it comes to looking after dogs—especially when they’re adjusting to someone new. Whether it’s sticking to a regular feeding routine, administering oral medication, or making sure they get enough exercise and attention, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the personalised care they deserve and acknowledging when your pet requires nurturing, affection and play time. I’m confident with walking, feeding, basic grooming (like brushing and wiping muddy paws!), and giving your dog the companionship they need while you’re away. I also make sure to learn each dog’s individual personality and preferences—some love long walks, others prefer cuddles and quiet time—and I adjust my care accordingly. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, it’s always been a dream of mine—so caring for yours is truly meaningful to me. I’ll treat them like part of the family, ensuring they’re safe, comfortable, and most importantly, happy! I currently have a commitment which durates to just 3 hours a day, Monday to Friday (3 PM – 6 PM), which leaves me with plenty of time and energy to care for your furry family members! 🐾 I’m available and flexible every day—including weekends and bank holidays—and I’m more than happy to work around your schedule. Whether you need early morning check-ins, midday walks, evening cuddles, full-day care or even overnight stays, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s comfort and routine come first, and I’m here to make things as smooth and stress-free as possible for both the family and your pet. At home, I have one very spoiled Ragdoll cat who even has his own house attached to ours! While he’s a house cat, we’ve created a safe, secure outdoor space so he can explore freely. He’s treated like royalty—endless cuddles, enrichment, and affection—and I bring that same level of care and compassion to every pet I look after. Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’ve always dreamed of having one. So caring for your baby will genuinely fill a little hole in my heart 💛 Whether it’s long walks, playtime in the garden, or just a comfy cuddle session, I’m ready to give your pet the same love and care I give my own. Although I understand that every pet is different, I acknowledge their individual needs and always provide the best possible care for them. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, senior, or needs medication or special attention—I adapt to their personality and routine to ensure they feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog-sitter than Louise! She looked after our dog for almost 10 days, and her calm, relaxed nature won him over straight away. Not only did she take amazing care of him, but she was also incredibly respectful of our home, going above and beyond our expectations.

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 East Hertfordshire 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 East Hertfordshire 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
- 89% 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.
