“Sarah and her pugs took great care of Freya on her first ever overnight stay with a sitter. Freya can be a bit anxious but I could see she was happy and calm in all the many updates Sarah sent. Sarah made Freya feel at home and even administered antibiotics as needed. Her warmth and understanding accommodated our uncertain travel plans and made the booking go smoother than I could’ve imagined. I couldn’t recommend Sarah enough. We will definitely be contacting her when we’re next in the area. Thank you Sarah!”
“This was Neo's second stay with Jas and he had a great time! He's still a young pup so quite a handfull but Jas took great care of him, lots of play and socialising with his lovely dog Cookie. Not only I trust Jas fully with Neo's care but also he really is a nice person, nothing is a problem! We got daily updates and videos and Neo came home very happy. Highly recommend”

“Nessie was well cared for and looked like she was having a great time while we were away! Jess is very responsive to messages and was very flexible and accommodating. We got photo and video updates which was great. We would definitely use Jess again.”
“Another great experience with Shelley and Dave! Our little Jack had an amazing time with their family and we could not be happier with their care and dedication”
“Kellie and Andy were great and our black lab Alfie absolutely loved his time with them. They were very quick to reply and also asked questions to understand what Alfie needs in order to take best care of him. We got daily updates which were lovely - Alfie seemed so happy. It went so well that we’ve rebooked for our little boy to stay with them again. Would definitely recommend them, they are lovely 🐾 ♥️”
“We are so happy with the service provided by Sue and James. Tess was so comfortable with them and always looked happy and content in every update they sent during her stay with them. This gave us such peace of mind whilst we were away. It really did look like home from home for Tess. Thank you so much Sue and James. We would not think twice about recommending to others.”
“Linda took care of our dog Bailey for daycare. It was a late night pickup but Linda was very helpful and all went smoothly including her kindly supplying some kibble and treats because I forgot them! This was very much appreciated. Bailey was very happy and settled on this his 2nd stay with Linda and I would recommend her without any hesitation. Thank you Linda ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve had pets since I can remember and have always had a dog in the family home. My partner Declan and I are the go-to dog sitters for our friends and families, looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes from cuddly cockapoos to energetic springer spaniels! My family dog was a rescue and so I’m familiar dealing with dogs who are anxious on the lead/need a little more care than some others. We live in an apartment and are unable to get our own permanent dog just yet, but love taking care of other people’s to fill the puppy shaped hole! As we are in an apartment however we’re unable to take on any pets that aren’t fully toilet trained. We understand the value of routine and love to take care of every dog as though they were our own, with long walks both in town and through the surrounding countryside. Your dog will feel safe and at home with us, and you’ll get regular pup-dates so you can be sure they’re enjoying their stay! I work from the office two days per week but can be flexible with this to accommodate mid-week bookings. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 5pm. We have an outside area for bathroom breaks and your dog will be supervised whenever they are outside. We love cuddles on the sofa but do ask for medium/large dogs to sleep on their own bed rather than sharing ours!
“Alessia looked after to Simba very well. Our Simba had a great time, she seems very relax on the photos. Alessia is very good at communication.Lots of photos and messages :) Highly reccommended!!! Need to book another holiday..”
“We asked Rajat , to mind our cat for two weeks during holiday there was no way we could bring her with us , then Rajat was like family to her, he has a high sense of responsibility and respect for animals like no other , he was informing us daily about our cat reassuring us at any time , I would highly recommend him .”
“Amazing. Harriet went above and beyond our expectations. She took the time to find out about Mylo’s needs and care plan. She also kept us updated with how he was getting on which was great for us as we have only been away from him a handful of times. Thank you so much for everything Mylo was in the best hands thank you so much.”
“Ralph had a lovely time with Martha. Communication was great and gave us regular updates and pictures to let us know how he Ralph was getting on. Martha did an amazing job and kept Ralph comfortable on the hottest weekend of the year. I would definitely recommend.”

Barney had another sleepover at Jennifer’s & as usual he ran in to see her and her dog and didn’t bother looking back. He always has a good time there and Jennifer sends us updates of photos of him enjoying playing & out on walks. What more could we want when he is having such a caring fun time with Jennifer.
My dog was cared for and adored. I almost suspect she didn't want to leave. I got such frequent updates I knew every day how happy she was and how well she was looked after in the heat. Every photo showed how my dog was made to feel at home and Fiona handled her little ways with trying to get to food so well. Fiona knows how to adapt and manage any sort of dog. Will definitely use again.
Angelika always looks after Winnie so well. She gets a comfy home to live in with interaction with Oli and other dogs during her stay. She is always seems happy & content on her return and we wouldn't hesitate in using Angelika every time and recommending her to others.
Kim took excellent care of my dog Lola while I was away. She treated Lola like her own, giving plenty of attention, walks, and care. Communication was great, I received regular updates and photos. Lola clearly loved staying with Kim. Highly recommend and will 100% book again.
Charlie had an absolutely amazing time with Riley, Mahmud and his partner. They looked after him very well taking care of his complex needs. Charlie was a very happy boy and was very comfortable with them both when I came to pick him up. He will definitely be returning.

FAQs for Boarding - North Hertfordshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in North Hertfordshire on Rover is £35.65 per night (as of July 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 .

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 .
