“It was re-assuring to see Heidi bond straight away with our young Bichon Frise Leia, when we dropped her off. It gave us the confidence to enjoy our few days away without worrying about Leia. While we were away we got daily updates from Heidi with photographs. When we got back Leia was relaxed....and clearly had come to terms with the changes in her young life. All good and we will ask Heidi to look after Leia again.”
“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!”
“Claire was great. She was available at quite short notice to look after my son’s cat Tosa while we were on holiday. She communicated well and gave us plenty of updates on how Tosa was doing. Tosa was happy and comfortable.”
“Our dog has had the most wonderful stay with Mehtap. I was updated with photos of their adventures and I could see my girl was happy and relaxed to be with Mehtap. She certainly made me and Deena feel reassured and I know she was made to feel like one of the family. I felt so confident that Deena was cared for so well, I have booked for Deena to stay another night the following week.”
“Sara and family were fabulous. Presley settled quickly and he was treated like he was their own. I had loads of updates and photos and communication was excellent. We will definitely see her again. Thank you Sara.”
“Sebastian was amazing with Nala! She stayed overnight and really enjoyed herself with his dog Bao, they have become best friends 🥰 They played for hours and Nala had great fun! Sebastian was very reliable and kept me updated with photos and regular updates of how Nala is doing and what she’s been doing. I was able to relax knowing she is safe and happy. I also met Candice his wife who is lovely and you can see they both love dogs very much. Thank you both so much and Nala will definitely be staying with you again soon! 💗🙏🏼”
“Donna provided Poppy with excellent care. Poppy always enjoys her stays with Donna. Donna is a thoughtful and kind sitter and she is always our first choice when we need a sitter for Poppy. Thanks, Donna!”
“We had a great experience with Nick and Jia. We really appreciated meeting you guys beforehand to understand where Coco would be staying and the messages of reassurance and photos of Coco during his stay. Thank you both very much for taking such good care of him. I would definitely recommend to others.”
“We couldn’t recommend Zsuzanna more! What a kind and caring sitter. We needed to drop Annie off earlier than planned and she was more than accommodating, felt instantly at ease which was perfect as we had a busy day and couldn’t check our phones. Seeing the updates later was lovely and Annie obviously had the best time playing games. She slept all afternoon when we got home, happy dog!”
“Shishir and Marion took great care of Alfie, from the start they saw I was anxious about leaving him with a strangers and did everything they could help reassure me, allowing me to schedule a few meetings and greets to get to know them and for them to get to know Alfie. Throughout my stay I got daily updates and pictures and felt constantly reassured he was happy whilst I was enjoying my holiday. I would book them again without a doubt and highly recommend them!”
“Miso stayed with Gabriella overnight while my husband and I attended a wedding and he seemed to have the best time ever! We had to find someone to dog sit quite last minute & Gabriella was so accommodating & we were able to have a quick meet up beforehand so miso could get comfortable (which he did VERY quickly 😂) I just want to say a massive thankyou, our boy had a great time being fussed over and meeting new people, I don’t actually think he wanted to leave with us afterwards!”
“Karen was just brilliant: super easy to make an arrangement with; efficient; friendly; perfect house and garden for a sitter: and most important my dog loved her. Highly recommended: 5 stars!”
“Our dog Chai had a wonderful time with Tanirika. He stayed over for 5 days and was well looked after. Tanirika gave us regular updates throughout his stay and we could see he was thoroughly enjoying himself and was in great hands. This reassurance allowed me and my family to relax and enjoy our trip abroad. I highly recommend Tanirika if you ever need someone to look after your dog.”
About: I’ve been passionate about dogs for many years and currently own a friendly German Spitz called Frankie, who is a much-loved member of our family. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently working towards my iPET qualification in canine care to further develop my knowledge of dog welfare, behaviour and safe handling. I provide a calm, loving home environment with plenty of attention, play, enrichment and walks tailored to each dog’s needs. I particularly enjoy caring for small and medium-sized dogs and believe every dog deserves patience, kindness and lots of cuddles. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. I’m available evenings and weekends, with flexible availability to suit your needs. I’ll always make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment and affection while they’re in my care, so they feel safe, happy and relaxed. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my priority. I provide a calm, loving home environment with a secure garden for supervised play and exercise. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages for complete peace of mind.
“Amanda was very welcoming and Ruby was happy meeting the other dogs. Amanda kept in touch over the next four days, sending photos of Ruby out on walks. When we picked her up Amanda had everything ready and reassured us that Ruby had met and enjoyed meeting other dogs.”
“Beata was very responsive and sincere. She requested a Meet & Greet to see Cooper dilute to his size. After the quick meet and greet she agreed to take care of him in short notice. Very proactive to send pictures and timely updates. Will surely looking to use her services again. Thank you 🙏”
“Wonderful experience with Mylinh who got along famously with Ezra, immediately putting him at ease and making him feel at home. We were thrilled with how well she got to know Ezra and look after his needs and we received many detailed updates (including pictures) which really put our minds at ease. Will definitely look to use Mylinh again and would fully recommend.”

We were so pleased with the care Sarah gave Toffee. She took her on extra walks in the woods as she had a little more energy than Sarah’s dogs, which she absolutely loved! We really appreciated the daily updates and photos too—it was lovely to see how happy she was. We’d definitely use Sarah again and highly recommend her!
Thank you so much for looking after Buddy and collecting him. I knew he would be in safe hands with you whilst away on holiday. Elif definitely cares about your pets and makes them as comfortable as possible. Our buddy suffers from anxiety when away from home and she helped him adjust till we arrived home.
I’ve had an amazing experience with Leanne. She responded quickly, was incredibly professional, and was a pleasure to communicate with. She immediately understood exactly what my dog needed, asked all the right questions, and showed a natural instinct for canine care. It was clear from the start that she genuinely understands dogs and cares about their wellbeing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable dog sitter.
Sara kept us updated with photos, how Bentley was settling down as it was the first time leaving him without family having him. He was clearly having the best time on he’s own little holiday with Sara and the children. He loved he’s walks and quiet time :) Would highly recommend
We are so happy to have found Nicholas and Jia to look after stitch, when we picked him up after the weekend away he was happy, healthy and our normal boy. We had daily updates from Nicholas with pictures of stitch and keeping us up to date on how he was settling in. We would highly recommend this couple and will most definitely be using them for our holidays or trips away. Thankyou for looking after our fur baby
Our dog Chai had a wonderful time with Tanirika. He stayed over for 5 days and was well looked after. Tanirika gave us regular updates throughout his stay and we could see he was thoroughly enjoying himself and was in great hands. This reassurance allowed me and my family to relax and enjoy our trip abroad. I highly recommend Tanirika if you ever need someone to look after your dog.

FAQs for Boarding - Welwyn Hatfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Welwyn Hatfield on Rover is £36.8 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 14,960 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Welwyn Hatfield. 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 .
