“Nathalie was absolutely amazing with Nala while I was on holiday, she took care of her like her own and Nala had a great time. We got daily updates and she even went above and beyond to train Nala off the lead. Thank you! Highly recommend and would 1000% use again x”
“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!”

“Jess was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Margot. We received regular updates and photos, and we could clearly see that Margot was having a great time with Jess and Pepper. Jess took Margot on some lovely walks and did some lovely activities with her, but she was also very understanding and respectful of our requests for caring for Margot. We highly recommend Jess.”

“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 🐾 ♥️”

“Mush became part of Lauren’s family whilst he stayed there which is all a dog mum could want. Kept me updated throughout with lots of pics. Mush was spoilt rotten with lots of walks and cuddles”
“Claire is Amazing! From the moment we had our meet and greet she was so kind and welcoming. Her love of dogs was obvious and she did not treat Freddie with anything but love. He had the most amazing time and got spoilt rotten. Lots of daily photos keeping us up to date on how much fun Freddie was having and helped us out with timings during pick up. I could not recommend you more highly and I have no doubt in my mind it’s you who we will ask to have Freddie if we go away! Thank you”
“Murphy had a fabulous time, Corinne very much put us at ease and sent us lots of fabulous photos of him looking very relaxed in her home . Thank you for looking after him so wonderfully x”

“Katie took exceptional good care of our little Rufus! We had lots of pictures to keep us up to date. Our puppy was accepted into the home and loved Katie’s dogs. We have already booked another visit!!!”
“Veronika took care of my 2 year old Frug for a week as a very last minute request. The care and attention given to him during his stay was outstanding, Veronika is so kind, attentive and tuned in to all of the needs of the animals in her care. It is very clear to see she has a deep love and appreciation for dogs, and hours of planning goes into their stay. He was given long walks, tried new foods, lots of cuddles and understanding and space plus fun. I received lovely pictures and videos throughout his stay, and she has continued to check on his wellbeing since. I cannot recommend Veronika highly enough. Not only is she an incredible dog boarder, she is a genuinely kind person too.”

We had a wonderful experience with Angelika and her partner! Our dog Kiara is a very anxious dog, and this was her first time away from home, but she settled in really well and seemed very comfortable and happy. Angelika was kind, caring and kept us updated throughout the day. We would definitely trust her with Kiara again!
Ben stayed with Harpreet whilst I was away for 4 days. He enjoyed his stay very much and I received lots of photos showing him looking relaxed and happy. Harpreet made every effort to ensure he felt at home and part of her family. I would definitely rebook her for future holidays and recommend her highly to others.
Perfect as always! Loki has the absolute best time with Jade whenever he goes to daycare or boarding. Jade is incredibly communicative, sends frequent picture updates, and provides the kind of top-tier care that leaves you completely worry-free. I am always 100% at ease dropping him off because I know he is in the safest, most loving hands possible. If you are looking for someone you can truly trust with your pup, I cannot recommend Jade highly enough!
Jas was absolutely fantastic looking after Kiki for 10 days! Kiki seemed so happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear she really enjoyed her stay. Jas was friendly, reliable and great at keeping us updated, which made it so easy to relax knowing she was in good hands. Thank you so much!
This was our first time using Rover.com as we have been lucky enough to have friends and family members look after our 11 year old cockapoo Rosie in the past. I was a little nervous to leave her with someone new however, I got in touch with Leigh and after a brief chat we took Rosie to meet her at her home. Leigh and her family were welcoming and lovely and keen to know Rosie’s specific needs. She stayed with Leigh for 6 nights and we had daily updates and photos which reassured us and put our minds at rest. Rosie seemed perfectly happy and settled with Leigh and her family in their home. Communication was prompt and regular and when we picked Rosie up, Leigh seemed genuinely attached to Rosie and it seemed like that had both had a lovely time together. We would use Leigh again without a doubt and would recommend her highly to anyone who is need of a dog sitter.
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.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – North Hertfordshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in North Hertfordshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 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 .
