Joe was great with our dog, Obie, and cat, Lennie! They were very relaxed after their time with him and well looked after. He left our house very tidy too. We have booked Joe to look after them for a week long holiday, so we would highly recommend!

It was immediately clear that Mary is super comfortable with any challenges a dog might throw at her, and I had no worries at all about her taking Romy on off lead walks. Mary was flexible and very understanding about the fact that Romy didn't allow for much sleep during her stay. The house was also left perfectly, and we got regular updates. Very reliable and lovely. Thanks Mary!

About: I had dogs as a child. Due to work never been able to have my own. Now have more time and have recently fostered for Guide Dogs. Looking to have more contact and enjoy dogs and the outdoors. Enjoy a woodland walk in particular. I generally work 4 days per week until 2pm. I am usually available Monday or Friday plus weekends and school holidays. Flexible with timings to suit your pet’s schedule. Overnight often also available. I take safety and security very seriously and always check doors and gates are closed. In my home I have a secure fenced garden. I have space for play with your pets and for naps!

Alexandra has been looking after our dog Twiglet for the last few weeks including staying with him overnight in our home when we were away. He loves the long walks they go on and he really listens to her commands. They're becoming really good friends and she takes great care of him.

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.

Cheryl was a fantastic sitter for our dog Kiba! We had frequent and lovely updates whilst we were away, and Kiba seemed to love her. He has a few quirks and she handled them like a pro. We came back to a very happy dog! Would highly recommend booking Cheryl for your pet.

Sacha and Cristina were absolutely brilliant with our dog and cat, whilst we were away for the Christmas break. Our dog is reactive and has a number of needs (he’s usually nervous when left with sitters) BUT he absolutely loved having them come to stay in our home. We had constant updates, and our minds were at ease the whole trip. When we got back home, the home was spotless. We highly recommend both to be trusted to sit your furry members of your family. We can’t wait to use them again, I know the boys will miss them ⭐

Sena recently looked after our kitten Bruno on a housesitting basis for 1 week. It was our first time using the type of service and Sena was really professional, responsive and immediately put us at ease. Right from the meet and greet, we knew Bruno would be in good hands! We received daily photo and video updates and the communication has been brilliant throughout the whole process. We cannot recommend Sena highly enough and definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need a sitter!

Jack is lovely and a big dog lover. His own dogs are also absolute cuties. He’s very knowledgeable on canine care and gave my dog hero a lovely outing. He was totally exhausted when he came home after a fun day with jack and his pups. I would definitely recommend jack for dog sitting/ walking. He is great :) and will put you at ease.

Pavan came and spent a day with the dogs, he is very polite and well educated and demonstrated to genuinely love dogs. He paid attention about their food and medication needs so she can do it in the future and showed a very good attitude.

Very happy with Jessica, Jade has been well looked after and lived. Also a real bonus was that my house was left in a perfect condition, she even remade the bed and washed the bed linen. I highly recommend her and would definitely have her to stay again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hertsmere

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Hertsmere on Rover is £36.8 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 16,063 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hertsmere. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Hertsmere 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 Hertsmere 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.
