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 🐶 🐾 ❤️”
“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”
“Lydia has cared for our 1 year old crazy Cockapoo a couple of times now - and she has come home sleepy from all of the walks, playtime and cuddles! I know I don’t have to worry when she is there 😊”
“Marina has looked after my dogs a few times and will absolutely be using her again and again! Not only is she a really lovely and friendly person, but she treats my dogs so well. She takes them for incredible walks and sends photos of them out having fun. She’s also great at keeping you in the loop throughout the day. The dogs settled in with her really quickly and are always excited when we get out of the car to go to Marina’s! Can’t recommend her enough.”
“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 ❤️”

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.

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. 🥰

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

There are 13,412 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 .
