“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.”
“Another brilliant stay with Catherine and her family, thank you! Lots of lovely updates as always and Benji is already looking forward to his next visit. Thanks again!”
“Thank you for having Teddy again - you make him feel very at home and welcome. Nathalie and her lovely dog Tilly are great which gives us complete piece of mind when we need to leave our dog - thank you! 😊”
“Lauren was amazing with Daphne. She’s usually cries a lot when I leave her but she was fine with Lauren. We got lots of updates through the stay and she seemed very at home.”
“Jess is very calm, friendly and easy going. She was happy to accommodate our earlier drop off and late pick up the next day and was great about helping to settle Fin in as it was his first stay at her place. Fin was very happy when I picked him up. Will definitely be using Jess again and would highly recommend.”
“Sarah is amazing. Cooper settled straight in and adores Sarah. Sarah was brilliant at sending updates. I felt very comfortable with leaving Cooper in the knowledge he was well looked after. He made new friends and will miss them (until the next time!) I would highly recommend Sarah.”
“Unfortunately, just before our holiday, our dog had to have an operation. This meant that extra care was needed as Alfie had to wear a buster collar and go back to our vet to have his stitches out. Helen took all of this in her stride. She sent us an update every day and I was completely happy that he was in her safe hands. I would thoroughly recommend Helen to look after any dog. I will use her again without hesitation. Debbie & Alfie”
“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 🐾 ♥️”
“Our pup is only 4 months old so still a bit unhinged with lots of energy to burn but Jas was absolutely fantastic with him. It was our first time leaving Neo but as soon as he met Jas my mind was at ease, was so happy to see how well they got on. Jas is really personable guy and we would leave Neo with him again with no hesitation, in fact he's already booked in for his next stay 🙂”
About: I’ve spent my life with dogs, and am now very lucky to have a gorgeous black lab, Maisie. I’d love to help take care of your pooch when you need. I work from home most days (and don’t accept bookings on days when I’m not), and take my own dog for a walk in the morning and evening. I’m happy to take your dog with us, or separately if they have different walking needs or need the attention just on them. I have a fenced back garden that the dogs always have access to, and they can come in and out as they please. They can spend the day with Maisie, or have their own space if that’s better. She’s a lovely friendly dog and adapts well to other dogs vibes - she’s very careful and respectful of older dogs, but will run around with a puppy if she can!
“Great guy, knows a load about dogs and the different quirks of the various breeds, great communication, would book again. Digby seemed nicely at home when we picked him up. Thanks again, Jordan ??”
“Harry was very loved and well cared for at Rosemary’s house, I was sent daily updates of him taking over the sofa!!! I felt very relaxed when I was away knowing that Harry was happy I would definitely ask Rosemary to look after him again.”
“Lydia was very welcoming , clearly a dog lover and has great experience with large dogs. Zeus loved his stay and Lydia kept us up to date with photos of Zeus on his walk.When we went to pick him up he was very relaxed and was cuddling up to Lydia like he had known her for years. Highly recommend Lydia for a great dog care experience! Thank you 😊”
“Alex was outstanding in her care and attention to our Bailey. He clearly had a wonderful time and came home a contented boy! She kept in contact during his stay with pictures and we felt happy knowing he was safe and being looked after. We have no hesitation in recommending Alex and her 5 ⭐️ care.”
“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.”

Jasraj had our 7 month old Boxer Rosie for 2 weeks over the summer. He gave us regular daily updates and photos, to give us insight as to how Rosie was getting on. She was always happy and cared for, no issues at all during the time he had her. And we could tell by the photos that she was settled and content. She was walked regularly, and kept well entertained. We would definitely use Jasraj again and would recommend him as an excellent carer for your dog!
Claire looked after Daphne for us whilst we went on holiday. We haven’t left her for a week before, so I was a bit nervous! However, Claire immediately put me at ease and clearly loved having Daphne to stay. I received updates every day, and her family were giving her so much care and attention that I didn’t have to worry at all. I’d highly recommend Claire if you need a dog sitter! ⭐️
I honestly couldn’t recommend Ollie and Georgia more. It was our first time ever leaving Bella, and they made us feel completely at ease. Their updates were so reassuring, and they cared for her as if she were their own. We’re so grateful — and Bella had the best time.
This was our first time leaving our one-year-old dog, Nola, with a sitter, so naturally we were a little nervous. However, from the moment we met Nathalie and her husband at their home, we felt completely reassured. They spent quality time getting to know both us and Nola, which made us feel very comfortable leaving her in their care. We were more than happy with the care Nola received during her stay. Nathalie kept us regularly updated with messages, photos, and videos, which was so lovely to see while we were away and gave us real peace of mind. Nola was treated like a member of their family and clearly had a wonderful time. She also got on very well with their lovely dog, Tilly, who was such a great companion for her. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Nathalie to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter. We would not hesitate to leave Nola with her again in the future. Highly recommended!
Fiona looked after our cockapoo, Poppy, for the first time whilst we were recently away for 11 days. I can reiterate what others have said with regard to the fantastic care and affection that was provided by Fiona and her lovely family. Fiona's communication is brilliant and through the messages, photos and videos that were sent, it was very clear that poppy was having a great time and being extremely well cared for. We also ran out of food at the end of Poppy's stay, and were delayed on our return flight to England. Fiona made sure extra food was provided to Poppy and helped to drop her off with our emergency contact, as Fiona and her family were going on holiday. We highly recommend Fiona and I'm sure Poppy would love to have another stay with Fiona and her family some other time soon!
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.
Angelika and her husband made Juneau (our sprocker) very welcome. We had lots of updates and photos. We visited Angelika and her gorgeous dog first to see how the dogs reacted to each other. Then contacted eachother through the app on specfics- quirks etc. Juneau has returned tiered and satisfied from her visit. If we ever need assistance again, we will not hesitate to reach out to Angelika and her husband.
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in North Hertfordshire on Rover is £34.5 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 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 12,521 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across North Hertfordshire. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
