“Sarah and her lovely boys are great! Ray had the best day with them all and I got lots of pics and videos throughout the day. I’ve rebooked two nights with Sarah soon and I know Ray will have the best time!”
“First time booked with Fiona to look after Willow. We had loads of updates and could see how well she was at home with the family and Burleigh. She was walked and well looked after. She never eats when she's away from us, but she ate whilst there. That means she was comfortable and felt at home. Thanks to you all. We will definitely be booking again when needed x”

“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.”

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.
“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!”
“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!”
“Shelley and Dave were really nice and understanding of my puppy's needs. This was the first time I left him with someone so I was a bit sad and worried. But they sent me lots of pictures of my baby playing with the family and that was really nice to see and reassuring. I will use their services again. Thank you!”
“We cannot speak highly enough of Carlie-Dee. We didn’t like the idea of sending Henry for day care but necessity meant we needed to. Henry has been so well cared for, has been on walks and treated as well as they treat their own dog. This has been such a great experience, not just for us but, most importantly, for Henry- thank you so much.”
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.
“Christine always makes very welcome, and are always flexible with timings really which helps reduce stress to get back exactly on time. Lexi didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up. To the point that I had to carry her back to the car. Thanks again. I will definitely be booking again.”
About: I’ve looked after my neighbours dog when I was younger for money. My partner had always had dogs. His is now 5 and had him since he was a pup so went through the training. We look after him when his parents are away as well as our other family members and friends dogs too! My partner and I both work full time on weekdays however one of us is always home or only gone for a couple hours at most. We would love a dog ourselves but we are not ready for that currently so looking after dogs temporarily is a perfect solution for us dog lovers! We have a secure fenced garden. We don’t have any other pets so your dog/s will be our sole focus on making sure they are happy and healthy

We had a meet & great at Sam’s house a few days before daycare and both myself and Pumpkin really enjoyed her company. On the day that I dropped her off for daycare I knew as soon as Pumpkin started to pull me towards the house that she was going to have a great day! I would not hesitate to rebook. Thank you Sam :) 🎃🐾

Jordan was great. Last minute booking the night before when we got stuck without a dog sitter. Jordan was very nice and helpful, invited us to pop by the night before to meet. Lovely flat and Penny our puppy Cockapoo had a great time by the looks of things. Would recommend.
Sarah looked after my 6 month old golden retriever puppy, Poppy for daycare and Poppy had such a lovely day with all the dogs Sarah had. She took her for a walk with them, kept me constantly updated with videos and put my mind at rest. Sarah obviously loves and cares about all the dogs she looks after.
Marsha had such a lovely day with Lydia. She played and was able to settle and sleep in a new environment. I felt that Marsha was very well cared for by Lydia who was keen to know about Marsha's routine and needs. It was also great getting lots of updates during the day. Marsha would definitely like to stay with Lydia again.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in North Hertfordshire on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 13,603 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in North Hertfordshire. About 87% 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 .
