“Eva was so welcoming to Skye and Skye loved her instantly. She just watched me walk away. I’m always nervous leaving Skye but she reassured me she’d be fine and kept us updated on Skye throughout the day. We would 100% use Eva again. Possibly next week! Thank you SO much”

About: I grew up completely surrounded by animals & pets and am a self proclaimed crazy dog lady! I have a deep understanding of dogs, particularly sighthounds and their needs, sensitivity & prey drive, as I grew up with 2 gorgeous whippets - Dolly & Tommy. I also had 3 cats so I have a great knowledge of feline care. I have worked in the Film & TV industry for 6 years and have decided to transition into the pet care field, driven by my genuine passion for animals. I am fully available and flexible to accommodate drop in visits & walking needs at very short notice. I offer doggy day care and overnight boarding in my home for small to medium sized dogs & sighthounds of any size. I also offer daytime house sitting in your home (daytime only). I’m fully available for meet-ups beforehand to get to know eachother & make sure it’s a great fit, just drop me a message! I also often undertake paid home visits for pets belonging to my friends & family whilst they’re at work or on holiday. I am a very reliable, trustworthy and respectful person.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me since I was a kid, and for years that meant two big dogs and three cats of my own. When I lost them, I missed having that presence and routine in the house, so I started sitting for friends and family. Now I’ve decided to open that up to more people. My wife works from home full time, and I’m remote when needed too, so your pet is genuinely never home alone. There’s always someone around for walks, feeding, and just company. Whatever you need, a quick drop in, a walk, or a full stay at ours, we’ll treat your pet like one of the family. I work remotely as a photographer, so most days I’m editing from home, with studio time in the office around twice a week. My wife works from home full time too, and on the days I do need to be out, she’s here. Between the two of us, there’s always someone home with your pet, whether that’s for company during the day or keeping an eye on things overnight. We live in a three bedroom terrace house with a fully fenced garden and no side access, so it’s secure and self contained. We’ve got security cameras around the property, and we’re on a semi quiet road, so it’s calm without being isolated. It’s a comfortable, settled space for pets to relax in.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, growing up with breeds like Chow Chow, Golden Retriever, Samoyed, and Alaskan Malamute, and I currently care for my own Czech Wolfdog. This lifelong experience has given me a deep understanding of dogs’ unique needs and personalities. Additionally, I’ve worked closely with professional dog trainers, which has taught me how to read a dog’s behavior and proactively manage situations during walks to avoid potential triggers. Whether it’s providing companionship, ensuring safety, or catering to the specific needs of different breeds, I’m confident in offering top-notch care for your furry friends. I have extensive experience caring for medium and large-breed dogs, having raised several over the years, and I am currently living with a Czech Wolfdog and a maine coon. I work full-time from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, structure, and companionship throughout the day. We live in an excellent area with access to large parks and beautiful nature spots. I regularly take dogs out for long walks, hikes, and play sessions, whether by car or on foot. When we’re not exploring nearby parks, my spacious, fully fenced back garden offers a safe and enjoyable space for dogs to roam, relax, and play freely. Dog care is part of my everyday life — I truly enjoy spending time with them, helping them stay active, engaged, and happy. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether it’s in my home or a pet owner’s home. I create a calm and comfortable environment for the pets, ensuring they feel secure and happy at all times. I’m highly attentive to their needs, from maintaining regular feeding and walking schedules to keeping their surroundings clean and safe. During walks, I’m vigilant about their interactions with other animals and the environment, avoiding potential triggers and ensuring their safety on busy streets or parks. I also communicate openly with pet owners, providing updates and following any specific care instructions they have. My goal is to build trust with both the pets and their owners, ensuring everyone feels confident and at ease.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I understand the importance of providing them with attention, affection, exercise, and a safe environment. My experience includes feeding, walking, playing with dogs, maintaining their routines, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. I am also responsible and attentive to their individual needs, including their usual habits, schedules, and any special instructions from their owners. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and care, and I always aim to make them feel happy, safe, and loved while they are in my care. I am a full-time mum, so I have a flexible daily routine and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I can fit dog walks, feeding, playtime and companionship naturally into my day. I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, and I am able to give them the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I am reliable, responsible and happy to adapt to each dog’s individual routine and needs. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. In my home, I provide a calm and welcoming environment, with regular feeding, walks, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I follow their usual routine and carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication if needed, and other specific needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and make sure they receive the individual care and attention they are used to. Their safety and wellbeing are always my priority.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs for most of my life, so being around them comes very naturally to me. I’ve had experience with a range of breeds and personalities from smaller dogs like Chihuahuas and Pugs to stronger, more energetic breeds like Staffies so I understand that every dog has their own needs and temperament. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s routine, whether that’s a relaxed walk, lots of playtime, or just keeping them company and making them feel secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each dog so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own. I will stick closely to your dogs routine and send regular photo & video updates. Happy to do a free meet & greet 😊 I work from home, which means I’m able to give dogs consistent attention and care throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around walks, feeding times, and making sure they’re comfortable and settled. I keep a steady daily routine, which helps dogs feel secure and relaxed while in my care. Whether your dog needs regular walks, playtime, or a calmer environment, I’m able to adapt to suit their needs. I’m available throughout the week and always aim to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine, so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Your dog will not be left alone for a long period. I provide attentive, structured, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. My priority is always to ensure pets feel safe, settled, and well cared for, whether they are staying in my home or I am visiting theirs. Boarding & Doggy Day Care: In my home, pets are treated as part of the family in a calm and supervised environment. As I work from home, they receive consistent attention throughout the day, with regular walks, feeding, play, and rest built around their normal routine. I focus on creating a stable and reassuring environment where pets feel secure and relaxed. House Sitting: When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their established routine to minimise disruption and stress. This includes feeding schedules, exercise, and companionship, while also ensuring the home is kept tidy, secure, and respected at all times. I aim to provide continuity so pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. Drop-In Visits: Drop-in visits are carried out with care and efficiency, ensuring pets are fed, have fresh water, and receive attention, interaction, and any required exercise. I also monitor their wellbeing and provide updates so owners have complete peace of mind. Across all services, I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort, adapting my care to suit their temperament, energy level, and specific needs. Clear communication and reliability are central to how I work.

Petra understood Rosie's needs, as an older dog. Rosie doesn't tend to go on long walks when away from Peter. We have concluded that she likes to stay close to where she last saw him. Petra was helpfully flexible about exact drop-off and collection times, which was very useful.

This was our very first experience using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From the very first moment, she and her husband made us feel completely at ease. They took wonderful care of our puppy, Thea, with so much kindness, patience, and genuine love. It was clear that they truly care about animals and treat them like family. We also received lovely photos and updates, which meant so much to us and made us feel reassured while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for such a wonderful experience and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Thea. We hope to see you again soon!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Watford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Watford on Rover is £34.5 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 16,780 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Watford. About 87% of Watford 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 Watford 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 .
