“Thank you Maria! At the age of 6, my border collie has never been left with anyone other than his family. Maria took him in as one of her own and gave him the time and patience he needed to feel safe and secure. Thank you :)”
“I’m so pleased to leave Mocha with her for about 6 months, she was so caring, helpful, kind and loving 🥰 and glad to the journey was so smooth until we could bring him to Dubai, thank you darling”
“We are very grateful for the way Luke looked for our Jack. He sent us daily updates. We were happy our boy was happy. We could not ask for a better sitter for our Jack. Luke has been amazing! See you next time, Luke!”
“Mina took care of our spring/collie cross 4yr old over three days. A good summary is our dog did not want to leave! Mina was absolutely lovely with her throughout. Very professional and affectionate towards our dog. Plenty of exercise with quality walks and fantastic communication throughout the stay. Couldn’t ask for more and would definitely recommend.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 15 years. Our family has always had pets, including a 15-year-old Fox Terrier, a French Bulldog, a cat and a parrot. I now live in London with my Chihuahua, Rocky, who is calm, friendly and loves other dogs. For the past year, I have been actively providing pet sitting services in London. Before moving to the UK, I spent over two years attending weekly dog training classes with my French Bulldog in Estonia. Those classes gave me valuable hands-on experience and a strong understanding of dog behaviour, body language and positive training methods. I know that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always adapt my care to their individual needs. My priority is to make every dog feel safe, relaxed and at home while giving owners peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I work as a freelance marketing specialist, which allows me to work remotely from home. This means I spend most of my time at home and can provide dogs with plenty of attention, companionship, regular walks and a consistent routine throughout the day. Their comfort, safety and happiness are always my priority. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a clean, smoke-free flat with my friendly Chihuahua, Rocky. I only accept pets from one household at a time to provide a calm and low-stress environment. Every dog is introduced carefully, has constant access to fresh water, regular walks, plenty of attention and a comfortable place to rest. I always follow each owner’s feeding routine and any special instructions, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their dog’s stay.
“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!”
“We left Kalhua over the weekend with Jennifer, he went straight to her front door before we even knew which house to get to and made himself right at home! Jennifer’s home was lovely with open spaces and her family treated Kalhua like the little prince he is! She sent regular updates and pictures and we were left at ease knowing he was well looked after! He came home with a big smile, relaxed and looked like he had his own little holiday! We will definitely come back!”
“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!”
“We couldn't be happier with Elizabeth's care for our dog, Charlie! Over the 5 days we were away, she was incredibly communicative and responsive. We always knew exactly how things were going, and she sent so many wonderful photos that genuinely put our minds at ease. She was gentle and kind from the very start, and her accommodating nature made the whole experience completely stress-free for us. It was clear Charlie was in loving, capable hands the entire time. Elizabeth is without a doubt a great dog sitter, and we will absolutely book with her again. We recommend her without any hesitation! 🐾♥️”
“Sohee was wonderful with my nervous rescue when she went for an overnight stay recently. She is very patient and calm, just what my dog needs, and kept me informed of how things were going, which was really reassuring. I will definitely book Sohee again would highly recommend her.”
About: I've been working at dog days cares and taken care of more then 30 dogs of varies size and breed. I have been home sitting and boarding friends' dog on and off for a few years. I am a veterinary student and gained animal behaviour certification, which allows to not only take good care of the pets, but also keep them safe and healthy, and provide some behaviour training when possible. I will be at home full time and will be able to spend lots of time playing with your dog, walking and take outdoor for toilet break. I won't take boarding more then 5 days if it's the first time I meet your dog. I prefer to meet your dog first via a walk / day care service for the first time to get to know them. I have no pet in my household at the moment and will only take dogs from the same household at a time. Your dogs will be prioritised when under my care. Out door walking will all be on leash at first, only when I know them well after a while and at dedicated off leash spaces will I start walking off leash.
“Thanks Marta! It was great having Caddy stay with you - where he was loved as one of the family! I'm happy to recommend you to anyone who is looking for someone to take great care of their best friend!”
“Big thank you to Sammi and her boyfriend! She looked after Honey so well — she came home incredibly happy and relaxed. It’s clear she was given lots of love, playtime, and plenty of walks. Communication was fantastic throughout, with regular updates. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Kirstin was amazing with Loki, I could tell he loved his time there. She kept me updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which was really nice to see! Her home is very pet-friendly and Loki seemed so comfortable and happy there. She was really easy to communicate and book with, responds quickly, and was accommodating when I needed to change the pick up time. I could tell Loki was genuinely well cared for and given lots of love and attention. I would happily leave Loki in Kirstin’s care again and would 100% recommend her!!”

We had such peace of mind leaving our precious dog with Jahnavi. We enjoyed receiving regular photos and videos of Teddy playing along with other dogs - he clearly was having such a fun time playing, walking and resting and was very well looked after. Thank you! We hope he can come and stay another time.
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!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received from Marta. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much love and attention goes into every part of the stay. I got regular updates, photos, and messages that put my mind completely at ease. My dog came home relaxed, happy, and clearly adored. Truly outstanding service. Thank you Marta for looking my little Toffee

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Hertsmere
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hertsmere on Rover is £36.08 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 15,480 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 .
