“Snoopy was so happy with Sarah and her lovely dogs and had a great time! We had been worried he might be a bit unsettled being with someone new for the first time but we were completely reassured by Sarah’s updates throughout the day and he came home a very happy chappie who slept very well that night. Would definitely recommend Sarah to all”
“Fiona gets 5 stars in every way from us and Oonagh! It was Oonagh’s first visit today and Fiona made her ( and myself!) completely at ease from the start. Videos and photos came throughout the day to show how happy and engaged she was. Thanks Fiona .”
“A fantastic dog sitter who was so accommodating and kind. This is our second time booking and we will definitely be booking again. We were updated throughout the day with photos and a couple of videos and it was so lovely to see. She is very responsive to messages and has taken superb care of our boy. Thank you again! He had the best day 🐶 🐾 ❤️”
About: Pet Care Experience I’ve always loved animals and have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, quirks, and needs. What sets me apart is my calm, caring approach — I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m attentive to details, patient with shy or anxious dogs, and make sure each one feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Pet care is a regular part of my week — I love starting and ending my days with walks, playtime, and cuddles. I plan my schedule around the pets I look after to make sure they get my full attention and consistent care. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or weekend stays, I always make time to keep each pet’s routine as normal and happy as possible. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a comfortable space to relax, regular walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I follow each pet’s usual routine — feeding times, walks, and any special needs — to help them feel settled and secure. I keep my home clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with safe areas for play and rest. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa or fun in the garden, I make sure every pet feels loved and cared for while they’re here.
“Porridge seemed like he had a great day with Polly and Maisie. We had a little meet and greet before to make sure they’d be ok together - pick up and drop off were super easy. Thanks Polly!”
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!
“Another great day for Rufus with Shelley and Dave, he was so happy when I picked him up and had been on a lovely walk with them. Very happy to have found them on rover as I know he’s in safe hands ❤️”
“Lydia really took the time to understand our dog's need and likes. She seemed really chilled at Lydia's house & we had a few pictures & messages throughout the day so we knew she was happy & well cared for....”
About: I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including owning our Boxer for 12 wonderful years. I’ve also helped family and friends when they have required any pet sitting while at work or away on holiday. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of love, attention, and companionship to help them feel safe, happy, and settled while in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I’m home every day apart from the school drop off and pick up. This means your dog will have plenty of company, attention, care, and regular toilet breaks throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I enjoy getting out for walks and spending quality time with dogs, so they’ll be treated as part of the family and included in day-to-day life with lots of love and companionship. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first. I have a loving family home with a fully fenced garden, including both patio and grass areas, and no free roaming animals. As I’m home all day, your dog will have plenty of supervision, attention, and care, and I’ll always follow your routines and instructions to help them feel safe, settled, and happy.
About: Growing up surrounded by a menagerie of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots and a lizard, I have been caring for animals for over 30 years and feel that a home isn't really a home without a furry companion. Owning various pets over the years has results in me being confident in animal care and behaviour. I lead an active life and have run with, climbed mountains and trained from a puppy our working cocker spaniel, who even in old age was mistaken for a puppy! Most recently, I have supported the rehabilitation of a stray Lurcher which came into our care. Teaching her how to live in a home and learn commands and what a toy was, has been extremely rewarding. If your pet has boundless energy or is timid, old or young, this is not a problem and I can easily adapt and prioritise your pet's individual needs. There are woods and many walks in my local area and I am also close to secure dog parks if this forms part of your pets routine. Muddy boots and paws welcome! At a glance, I can offer: * 35 years plus experience * a focus on enrichment and providing a safe environment * confident to administer basic oral medication - easy access to veterinary support * experience of working with dogs of different temperaments * happy to also feed and care for other small pets * Available 24/7 during school holidays * up to date Pet sitting insurance Perfect for all your school holiday, evening and weekend needs! I currently work full-time as a teacher. This allows me to have weekends totally free 24/7. I can be available from 3:30pm weekdays and possibly lunchtimes if you live locally to my work. I am able to take at short notice so please just ask. During the school holiday ( Christmas, Easter, Summer and half terms) I am available 24/7 I recommend a meet and great prior to the booking to discuss the individual needs of your pet. It would be great to know commands and favourite toys etc so I can fully engage with your dog and they can be at ease. On walks, I will always keep your dog on a lead and avoid other dogs unless you are able to inform me of any doggy friends your pet has. Due to my current employment I am DBS checked and offer a trusted and reliable service.
About: We live in a lovely quiet village and have walks from the back of our garden. I absolutely love dogs and now have more time to devote to other dogs..We have 2 extremely gentle and friendly Golden Retrievers who love walks in the Countryside and we have bred dogs so have many years experience with young and old dogs. Any dog staying with us will have 2 walks a day and one of us at hand all the time. One of our dogs is a Therapy dog and I have had previous therapy dogs, proving that I have a lot of training experience with dogs. We are around virtually all the time between us, in the day and evenings and weekends. They would fit in to our dogs routine of walks and meals We have a totally secure fenced garden looking out onto open fields in our rural setting here in our village near Baldock, Letchworth and Stevenage. They will have full run of downstairs and our secured garden.
About: I am currently on maternity leave so have the time to spend with your furry babies! Cats are my favourite animal and I have my own fluffy girl called Binky. I can’t walk past a cat in the street without kneeling down and psst pssting them for a cuddle. I have experience caring for dogs and frequently help out friends with drop ins and dog walks when needed. Your doggy can expect countryside walks and lots of fuss and attention. I’m currently on maternity leave so have a lot free time to care for your furry babies! I already spend a lot of time out walking so it would be great to have a furry companion and explore some different areas. I’m available for one off bookings or longer term arrangements depending on what you need. I will follow the instructions you provide and take the time to earn your pets trust inside and out of your home. I’ll provide updates and ensure clear communication of any issues.
About: I’m a pet sister from Hong Kong, now living in the UK for the third year. I moved here with my four cats, who are now 6 to 7 years old. After settling down, I adopted a 1.5-year-old Border Collie. I truly love all my pets—they’re my family. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just a job, it’s something I truly enjoy. Every day, I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, whether it’s morning and evening drop-in visits, regular walks, or spending quality time with my own pets at home. I make sure to stay organized so that each pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. Being around animals brings me joy and keeps me active, so I always look forward to every visit or walk. When providing drop-in visits or dog walking services, I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and respected in their own environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, whether it’s feeding, cleaning, giving medication, or following a specific walking route or routine. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm energy and gentle care so they feel comfortable around me. During walks, I stay alert and prioritize their safety at all times—avoiding busy roads, checking their body language, and ensuring they’re always on-leash unless instructed otherwise. I treat every pet like family, and always keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their furry friend is in good hands.
“Shakira had the best day with Elena. Walking, swimming, meeting other dogs, lunch outdoors, visiting horses. Elena kept her physically and mentally stimulated. She sent loads of pictures and videos throughout the day and she has taken the greatest care of my fur baby. I would definitely recommend Elena! Thumbs up!”
About: Hey I’m Millie from Hitchin. I run my own fitness coaching business full time so I have total control over my own diary, flexibility and love anything fitness and wellbeing related including spending time outdoors and doing lots of steps! I often break up my days getting out and moving anyway so would love some company for walks. If there’s one thing for sure I’ll make sure your dog gets a great bit of exercise and has fun! I’ve got experience in looking after a lot of different breeds including cocka/cavapoo, spaniels, labradors, golden retriever, Doberman and some cross breeds too! I’ve got a soft spot for Labradors as I grew up with them! I look forward to looking after some more lovely dogs along the way until I get one of my own one day! I work from home full time so I am in control of my own diary and can be flexible, I walk a lot anyway no matter if it’s rain or shine as it’s great for your mind and body and I love the outdoors. I am used to feeding, giving dinner or lunch after walks if needed, rinsing or towelling them down after a swim and getting them back in the crate if needed to make sure they are settled. Happy to access via a lock box or key provided.

Martha looked after our two boys for the day during a heatwave and she was amazing! One of our boys is quite an anxious dog, but Martha gets on really well with both of them them and they love getting attention from her! Would definitely recommend Martha to look after your dogs!
This is our first time using Rover and was instantly drawn to Angelika from her positive reviews. We would highly recommend Angelika as she is very trustworthy and was able to put any worries at ease . We got frequent updates and our little dachshund enjoyed her time and we would highly recommend her to anyone ! Thank you Angelika
First time leaving our Yogi with Mahmud, and he was so good with him! This was also Yogi's first time at a doggy day care so he was nervous, but Mahmud and his partner were so good looking after him and taking him for a walk. We kept getting photos and updates of Yogi throughout the day. We will definitely be leaving Yogi with them again.
A fantastic dog sitter who was so accommodating and kind. This is our second time booking and we will definitely be booking again. We were updated throughout the day with photos and a couple of videos and it was so lovely to see. She is very responsive to messages and has taken superb care of our boy. Thank you again! He had the best day 🐶 🐾 ❤️
Julie looked after our 12 week old Rottweiler puppy, for the first time and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He hasn’t really been away from us for any length of time before, so we were naturally a little nervous, but Julie was wonderful with all of us. She kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos of what they had been up to, which was so reassuring and really appreciated. She was very attentive to our training information and was using the same cues that we have been to ensure consistency. When we picked him up he was relaxed, happy, and honestly looked like he’d had the best day! He came home, had his dinner, and promptly fell asleep after such an exciting and fun day! We would 100% recommend and will definitely be booking with her again soon. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our puppy! 🐶 🐾
Hanna D has been an incredible dog sitter for us. She’s reliable, caring, and always keeps us updated, which gives us total peace of mind. Most importantly, Chester always enjoys his time with her and comes home happy every time. We feel so lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful, trustworthy dog sitter.
Mabel loves her time spent at Jade’s and we know that she is going to be well looked after and fussed when she is there! Jade is easy to communicate with and is flexible and accommodating when needed. We get regular updates about their day and lots of cute pictures. Always happy to have Mabel booked in with Jade. 🥰
Corinne was absolutely amazing. Their knowledge of dogs and behaviour was clear from the very first meet and greet, especially in the way they connected with Mike right away. I left Mike with them for the day and came back to a happy, relaxed dog — you could really tell how much he’d enjoyed himself. Communication and updates throughout the day were spot on as well. I couldn’t recommend Corinne more highly.

There are 13,510 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in North Hertfordshire. About 86% of North Hertfordshire 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 North Hertfordshire 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 .
