“Jahnavi went over and above to look after my small Pomeranian, and took care attending to her specific requirements. Forgot her treat box and Jahnavi even offered to drop it round! Would not hesitate to book her again, 5 stars!”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have spent the last 8 years caring for and training my own dog. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their individual personalities. I particularly enjoy spending time with young dogs and helping them learn through patience, positive training, play and everyday experiences. I love taking dogs out for walks, playing with them, having cuddles and even dancing with them to music! For me, it’s all about making sure dogs feel happy, safe, loved and included. I’m happy to give them lots of attention, exercise, fun and companionship, while also keeping to their usual routines as much as possible. Whether your dog needs regular walks, daytime care or a loving home away from home, I’ll treat them with care and affection and make sure they have a lovely time while they’re with me. 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m home most of the time and currently focus on my fitness and healthy lifestyle, so I have plenty of flexibility to dedicate time and attention to dogs. I enjoy getting out for walks, keeping active, playing and spending quality time with them. I’m able to give dogs plenty of companionship throughout the day and work around their individual routines and needs. provide care in my own home, where I have a ground-floor apartment with a small private outdoor area. There are also well-kept communal grounds within the private property, as well as lots of parks nearby, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks, fresh air and exercise. I’m home most of the time, which means dogs can have plenty of company, attention and reassurance throughout the day. I enjoy going for walks, playing, having cuddles and keeping dogs active and entertained. I like to follow each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding, walks, rest and playtime. I’m also happy to continue gentle, positive training, particularly with younger dogs. Every dog is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and individual needs. My aim is to make their stay feel safe, relaxed, fun and as close to home as possible.
“Maria is an excellent pet sitter. The booking went exactly as planned and she kept us informed of how they were doing sending pictures and messages. Will definitely re-book”


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.

About: Since losing my dog a couple of years a go at the grand old age of 15, I’ve been looking after pets for friends and family since. I live right next door to a lovely park, plenty of fields and trails. Happy to put the mileage in if your pet requires it. I’m patient and dogs seem to love me. Happy to help with training also. Will also look after cats if required. I work from home at present and I can pick and choose my hours. I can adjust my routine to suit your pet if needed, no problem at all. If your pet is unsociable I can walk early and late if necessary. I have a large flat with a safe and secure balcony. I am 30 seconds away from a park, 5mins away from fields and there are a number of trails and woodland walks close by. If required to sit in at your place, I am clean, quiet and respectable. Happy to be adaptable to your pets needs. Whatever it takes to make the feel safe and secure.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for dogs and studied canine behaviour for two years. I am responsible, caring, and consistent in my approach, and I work hard to support positive behaviour. While not a specialist, I have strong foundational knowledge and ensure every dog in my care is well-behaved and well-looked-after. Pet care is a core part of my daily routine. I work full-time as a dog walker/handler, so my days are structured around walks, feeding, training, and providing consistent care. I also have two small dogs of my own—Sheeva (12) and Poppy (11)—which keeps me experienced and engaged every day. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit in around life. It is my routine, and I truly enjoy giving each dog the attention, structure, and affection they need. I mainly provide care in my own home, where dogs enjoy a clean, tidy, and comfortable environment. There’s plenty of indoor space for them to relax, as well as a fully fenced, safe garden for toilet breaks and supervised outdoor play. I maintain a calm, structured routine and make sure each dog receives the right balance of attention, exercise, and affection. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel secure, welcomed, and well cared for throughout their stay.

“Hannah was absolutely amazing with Tilly. She looked after her just like I would. She also kept on sending me lots of pictures and updates which made me feel quite happy while I’m out. I will definitely ask Hannah to look after Tilly again in the future. Many thanks Hannah for everything.”

“Mina is incredible! Her communication from the beginning was great. She really looked after our dog as if it were own, showing him so much love and taking extra care with him. Would 100% recommend and book again!”

“I was very nervous to leave Tuffy with her as I never did this before. I’m so glad Tuffy came home happy and Begona took his proper care. She was in touch with her and constantly sending his videos. Hope to see her again.”

“Caroline and her brother Bruno are the best! They are always responsive, super nice, and really do love dogs. Caroline also only permits one dog at a day, which seemed so considerate. My dog Ollie goes to Caroline's flat with a tote bag, and whenever I grab that tote bag at home, Ollie gets super excited. Thank you so much Caroline & Bruno for taking amazing care of Ollie!”


“Everything worked out perfectly! Pandora was absolutely lovely and our dog had a great time with her and Fidget. Would rate 10/5! Thank you so much for helping us out, Pandora!”

About: My girlfriend and I have been doing dog sitting through borrow my doggy and rover for the last 6 years in London, we’ve just moved to St Albans I work hybrid and Sarah is fully remote, so we have plenty of time on our hands for your furry friends. Very good with keeping to training and routine. I have had dogs and cats all of my life, but taken care in a professional sense over the last few years. I am currently working from home most of the week, as does my partner. We see this as a great excuse to get out for walks and explore the local area. I have a very safe flat within a gated community, I’m always able to keep an eye on dogs and my partner is regularly here too to help (she is also an experienced dog sitter). We move all plants out of the pets way when they are visiting and we are very close to a large park. Happy to provide pup dates and do facetime tours of the house if needed.
“Amanda and her husband are very friendly and welcoming. I felt very comfortable leaving my senior dog in their care. My dog seemed very relaxed when I went to pick her up - which is a great sign. Amanda was very responsive leading up to the day and she was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She was also able to give my dog her oral tablets. Thank you Amanda - I'll be in touch again when I next need a dog sitter!”

Marta was absolutely wonderful with Oscar! He has dry eyes and needs regular, attentive care and Marta looked after him so well. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure he was comfortable, happy and well looked after. She also took him on lovely walks, played with him and made sure he had a really enjoyable day. We felt completely reassured knowing he was in such caring hands. We would definitely use Marta again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, attentive and caring to look after their dog. Thank you, Marta! 🐾❤️

Bear loved spending the last few days with Natalia. He was so well cared for and all of his special requirements were taken into account. She made the whole experience so smooth and easy, provided plenty of reassurance and updates. Will definitely be back in touch to book if and when we are in the area :) thanks again xx

We love Sabine! She is a great dog sitter - very friendly, easy to work with and make arrangements, and great at communicating - she always sends photos and updates of Pippa too which is lovely to see. Pippa always has the best time with Sabine and comes home very happy, it’s great knowing we’re leaving Pippa with someone we trust who always takes such good care of her. Highly recommend.

Our first time using rover and came across Antoniya, was a little nervous but met up with her prior to leaving our pup. She has good energy along with her partner. My pup likes his days there and comes home tired which is a good sign! Happy with the communication also and pictures that I get sent too.

There are 16,496 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Hertsmere. About 87% of Hertsmere 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 Hertsmere 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 .
