About: I have been with pets since my childhood. Bring with them since then gave a really good insight how to care them and the general behaviour of a dog. This insight and years of experience helps me to deal with any dog I am currently working from home. I stay at home all the time. I go on grocery run along with pets. Enjoy long drives with pets I have single bed room flat surrounded by nice pretty garden around. Its easy and spacious for me to go one nice small walks and the area is very pet friendly.
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.

About: My family has loved animals ever since I was little. When I was very young, we had three large dogs at home. I learned how to look after them. From an early age, I was in charge of refilling their water and food bowls, and sometimes helped my parents bathe them. We still have three dogs at home now. One is a Teddy that we have raised for nine years. The other two are puppies around three months old. We brought these two puppies over from my grandma’s house, and I even watched them being born. Therefore, I believe I have extensive experience caring for dogs at all life stages. I have just graduated from university and only work part-time, so I have plenty of free time most days. This allows me to dedicate lots of time to things I love, such as looking after cats and dogs. I’m more than happy to care for dogs during my free hours: any time before 11 a.m. and after 6 p.m. Spending time with pets will bring me great joy. If I take your pet back to my home, I promise to follow these rules strictly: First, I will keep the lights on at all times so the pets won’t feel scared. Besides, all doors and windows will be fully closed to guarantee their safety around the clock. If it is a dog, I will take it out for a walk every three hours to let it burn off extra energy. If it is a cat, I will play with it, and I have plenty of cat toys at home for it to enjoy. If I come over to your house to care for your pet: To start with, I will fully respect your privacy. I will send you photos of your pet, but I will never take random pictures of your house as we agreed. In addition, after spending time accompanying your pet, I will take away all food waste I generate. I will only leave after sending you photos to confirm your pet is safe and sound.
“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.”


About: Hey! My name is Sena, I’m a lawyer working part time in the city, now based in Radlett where I get to enjoy the outdoors and spend more time around lots of animals. I grew up in a home with several pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as cats and other small animals. I’m confident, patient, and attentive, and I treat every pet as if they were my own! :) At home I have a 14year old ginger tabby cat called Simba, who has been with me since he was a kitten and a 4 year German Shepherd cross Akita named Ralph :) Ralph has helped me build strong experience in handling larger, energetic dogs, I work Tuesday- Thursdays in the city. My partner and I alternate our work from home days so Ralph and Simba are never left alone Your dog will be looked after in a calm, loving home with plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a fully fenced garden for safe outdoor time, plus regular walks in the local open fields here in Radlett for exercise and fresh air. There’s lots of playtime, interaction, and company depending on your dog’s personality and energy levels — whether they’re active or prefer a quieter pace. I’m happy to follow all dietary requirements closely and stick to your dog’s normal routine. Brushing and basic grooming can also be included if needed. To keep things stress-free, your dog will be kept separate from my own dog, Ralph, so they can fully relax and feel at home in a calm environment.

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. 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.
“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.”

About: Hi! I’m a 37-year-old dog lover offering a calm, caring home for your dog. I grew up with a lovely Shi-Tzu and two cats, so I’ve been around animals from a young age. I now have my own 4-year-old Sheltie, who is incredibly sweet and gentle. She is naturally shy, so I’ve learned how to handle and support nervous dogs with patience, kindness, and gentle training. Watching her grow in confidence has been very rewarding. I am currently at home full-time, which means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I also have a secure enclosed garden with grass for toilet breaks and fresh air between walks. My partner is also home part of the week, and we enjoy going on dog walks together. We understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust, and I will care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I am always at home, so can take the dog out fairly easily and keep company. We then have a daily walk after work in the evening. I have a enclosed garden with grass for their natural needs, and am walking distance of parks and meadows such as Whetstone Stray and Brook Farm open space.
“My pup Mango loved her daycare with Keren! Keren is so lovely and caring and I was very happy to leave Mango with her for the day. She didn’t want to leave and tried to jump out of her carrier back to Keren’s house! ❤️”


About: Animal lover. Will only take one dog at the time in order to provide best care. We live next to the park in a lovely area with lots of beautiful walk trails. Working part time from home. Have plenty of time to look after your dog. We love walking and playing. I will also make sure that your dog routine is kept. Our fenced garden is very safe. We have 6 year old Yorkie who loves playing with other dogs. He will definitely keep your furry baby company !

About: Hello, I’m Abby! I’m an animal lover and pet parent to three cats and one very fluffy dog - so I completely understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. 🐾 I bring my dog to enclosed fields and go on fun adventures several times a week and would love to bring some other furry friends with us too! If your dog would like a change in scenery, a chance to run around freely in a safe space send me a message! 🥰 I prioritise dog wellbeing, safety, exercise, and lots of love on every walk and visit. I am also a qualified and experienced dog groomer working from home with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. Your dog’s happiness, safety and wellbeing are always my top priority! 🐾 I currently work from home as a dog groomer taking on minimal appointments a week, leaving me a lot of extra time to spend with more dogs! I enjoy doing all things that involves my own furball - from daily training, group classes to hiring out fenced enclosures for full off lead freedom multiple times a week and we would love for some new fluffy friends to join us! I always put dogs comfort and wellbeing as a priority. As a personal rule, I don't introduce new dogs to each other right away - I like to get to know your dog personally first before I introduce them to others in for the safety of everyone's dogs. I have a fully fenced garden that is always accessible as well as a crate for those who prefers a safe secure space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 16,374 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Hertsmere. About 86% 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 .
