So happy to have found Maria to look after Daisy for 10 days while we were on holiday. It was the first time we had left Daisy, but Maria's confidence and love for dogs made us feel immediately relaxed. She kept us updated with photos, and it looked like Daisy had a nice holiday too.

About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, having grown up with pets throughout my childhood, and I currently have a dog of my own. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, so looking after dogs comes naturally to me. I absolutely adore dogs, and every dog that stays with me is treated as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, so i provide plenty of love, patience, care and attention to ensure they feel safe, happy and comfortable while you're away. I believe dogs thrive when they're given both physical exercise and mental stimulation, so regular walks, playtime and enrichment are all part of the care i provide. Whether your dog enjoys long adventures, gentle strolls or simply lots of cuddles on the sofa. My goal is to make sure they enjoy themselves just as much as you enjoy your time away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. You can have peace of mind knowing your dog will be cared for with kindness, integrity and genuine affection every step of the way. I'm currently on my summer break from working in a school, so for the next six weeks I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog. After the holidays, I'll continue to be available on weekends. Your dog's routine will always be my priority, with walks twice a day as standard, and three times a day if they enjoy extra exercise or need additional stimulation. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm happy to adapt to their usual routine and energy levels to ensure they feel comfortable, happy and well cared for. Your dog's safety, happiness and wellbeing are my top priorities. We have a secure, enclosed garden where dogs can safely play, explore and go to the toilet whenever they need. I also have plenty of toys and enjoy spending quality time playing games and providing mental stimulation to keep dogs happy and engaged. I have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or if you would prefer them to have their own quiet space. Every dog in my care will be treated like a member of the family, receiving lots of love, patience and attention in a safe, calm and caring home. I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medication, walks and routines so your dog feels as settled and comfortable as possible.

Shishir and Marion took great care of Alfie, from the start they saw I was anxious about leaving him with a strangers and did everything they could help reassure me, allowing me to schedule a few meetings and greets to get to know them and for them to get to know Alfie. Throughout my stay I got daily updates and pictures and felt constantly reassured he was happy whilst I was enjoying my holiday. I would book them again without a doubt and highly recommend them!

Anna was a great cat sitter to our kitten. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. She asked us loads of questions about his routine and looked after him the exact way we wanted her to. He was very well cared four and Anna immediately put us at ease. We will definitely use her again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thanks Anna.

We couldn’t recommend Zsuzanna more! What a kind and caring sitter. We needed to drop Annie off earlier than planned and she was more than accommodating, felt instantly at ease which was perfect as we had a busy day and couldn’t check our phones. Seeing the updates later was lovely and Annie obviously had the best time playing games. She slept all afternoon when we got home, happy dog!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I give every dog. When your dog is with me, I’ll treat them like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences, so they receive the care they’re used to. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, with experience caring for dogs of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies who need consistency and senior dogs who benefit from a gentler pace and extra care. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. My goal is for your dog to feel at home with me, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I work full-time from home, with just one day a week in the office—and even then, it’s a super dog-friendly workplace, so your pup can come along if needed! Working from home means I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. Between meetings, I have lots of spare time for walks, playtime, toilet breaks, and, of course, plenty of cuddles and attention. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will have lots of companionship throughout the day. I genuinely love having dogs around and will treat yours like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved from the moment they arrive. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping to their normal routine as much as possible. I live in a clean, comfortable flat with a secure, safe balcony, providing a calm environment where your dog can relax. I’ll make sure they have plenty of exercise, playtime, mental stimulation, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. I stick to your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule, and I’m happy to accommodate any special instructions or routines.

Adriana was so warm and welcoming! Her daughter Rebecca was also lovely and they were both so friendly! I immediately felt and ease and so did my Bilbo which was the most important thing as I had never left him without me before. He loved them both and felt comfortable enough to start exploring in the first few seconds haha ? I don’t think he wanted to leave to be honest! I know he was just showered with love & affection! My go to forever from now! Thank you sooooo much xxxx

Courtney was fantastic with my puppy, she listened to my instructions carefully and followed through with it all diligently, and provided my puppy with lots of love and attention, took her out for a walk, let her play in the garden, but also allowed her space and time to sleep cos she's only little. I got photos and mini updates throughout the day which was a really lovely touch and very reassuring. Exactly what I hoped for. Courtney provided a safe, happy and loving home, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I would be delighted to bring my puppy back again soon and would not hesitate to recommend her.

Very happy with Zahra’s care for my Bedlington Terrier, Henry. She kept me updated throughout his stay with her, sending through photos and explaining what he had been up to. She was always very quick to respond to my messages and I was very grateful to her for going above and beyond at the beginning of Henry’s stay, when I was running late. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!

Mark and Natalia were amazing! Winston can be fussy and stubborn at the best of times but it seems he had a fantastic time with Mark and Natalia, he came back exhausted. We got regular photo updates and they were happy to accommodate all of our requests. They've also box exceptionally lovely people and have a perfectly set up home to look after dogs. Winston has decided he'll certainly be back soon!

FAQs for Boarding - Hertsmere

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hertsmere on Rover is £35.65 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 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 August 2026, there are 15,256 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hertsmere. 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 .
