“Boarding with Hilly was amazing Gabe had a lovely time and was very relaxed and happy. Hilly understands dogs and took time to get to know Gabe she treated him as her own which was so wonderful. Excellent all round 💖”
“Emma and her family were very accommodating for our dog Alfie and he has had the best week with them! Emma was very welcoming and understanding of our dogs needs and was a true home from home experience for Alf. Would 100% recommend Emma to anyone, Alfie looks like he has had the best time with daily updates/ photos from Emma during the stay!”
About: Hi, we’re Harry & Dale. We’ve both grown up with dogs and, as a couple, cared for two very different personalities: Max, a high-energy Patterdale Terrier, and Molly, a gentle senior Black Labrador. That experience means we’re comfortable adapting care to suit individual dogs - from energetic walks and play to calmer routines, medication awareness, and senior needs. We’re patient, attentive, and good at reading behaviour, routines, and cues, helping dogs settle quickly and feel at home. Harry works from home most weekdays, so dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy company, supervision, and regular comfort breaks throughout the day. Our routine is flexible, calm, and built around the dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule. Our home is relaxed, clean, and dog-friendly, with a secure garden for supervised outdoor time. We keep routines clear and consistent, follow owner instructions closely, and only take on dogs we’re confident we can care for safely and attentively. We don’t have children, and visiting family is always considered carefully around any dog in our care. Clear communication, regular updates, and your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.
About: When I was younger we used to have pets and have grown up taking care of animals. We have a friendly poochon now who is 5 years old and lives for a ball to be thrown. My own dog is walked regularly and cared for like the part of the family that she is. I work from home so am usually close by and never out for longer than 4 hours. I have a fenced garden and pets are welcomed on the ground level of my property. The sofas are covered so the doggos can snuggle for naps. Dogs beds are generally located in the rear of the property downstairs.
“Maria took excellent care of our dog, Rondo, for a week and a half while we were away. Not only did they accept a last minute booking, but they spoiled our boy! Rondo loved running around their fenced garden, going on walks, and getting a puppuccino. We received several pictures of Rondo playing and cuddling and cute updates of his daily activities. Would highly recommend Maria for any dog boarding needs!”
“We went to greece last week, and left our French bulldog lucky with Darcey for the week, lucky was well looked after and we was kept up to date with photos and messages and always replied instantly I will definitely be leaving my dog there again when I go away. Thankyou!”
“Highly Recommend Rebecca and Sean. The updates were great, sent many photos and videos throughout giving us peace of mind. Thank you for looking after Leo, would def book again.”
“Our dog Kali was well looked after and made to feel part of the family. It was a stressful time for us as we were moving house and so our dog arrived feeling very anxious with all the upheaval but they made her feel at ease and us too. I would highly recommend!”
“Our dog Jasper had the best time ever staying with Aaron. Throughout our time away, Aaron sent us lots of photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing that Jasper was being so well cared for. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for a true home-from-home experience for their dog. There is plenty of secure open space for the dogs to run and play freely, and it is clear that Aaron genuinely cares about the animals in his care. Jasper loved his stay so much that he hardly wanted to leave! We will definitely be using Aaron again in the future.😊”
“Our labrador Roxy, spent a week at Lucy's for the first time and was very happy and cared for. Even during the heatwave, she ensured the dogs kept cool and safe which was really important to me. I would recommend anyone to use Lucy's boarding service :)”
“Amazing! What a fantastic mini-break for my little pup - she got on so well with Stephanie's own dog - she is missing her, in fact(!) Genuinely made her feel welcome and did loads with her.”
“We came across Stephanie in the nick of time as we were desperately looking for some last minute help over Xmas due to family emergency. I was really worried that Lula and Dash would feel overwhelmed and not warm up to Stephanie because of a last minute change into their routine, but they adopted her and came back to us well rested and happy. I am really grateful to Stephanie and will definitely be using her services again 😊.”
“Kirsty was wonderful. Leo was so happy to see us when we picked him up but kept running back to Kirsty as well. He obviously enjoyed being with her. Kirsty let us know how Leo was doing with photos”

“Faye and Ethan were brilliant hosts for my pooch. Communication was excellent I was never in doubt that there would be any issues in their care. I got pictures and updates and look forward to booking her in for her next stay. Thank you.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs ever since I was 15. This includes schooling and training experience, volunteering at shelters and training working dogs ( border collies). I’ve got a 5 year old who is with me half time, therefore I can only board pets that are ok with children- although he is very respectful to animals. We are around horses and dogs mainly, although I’ve done cat sitting before. My border collie sadly passed away 2 years ago and currently I have no pets in the house therefore I can accommodate dog boarding. My schedule can be flexible but please get in touch with what you require. I work from the office 2-3 days a week and the rest from home, I’m also free all weekends. I live in a 2 bed house with a small garden, not a massive house so more ideal for small to medium sized dogs. I normally take them for 2 small and 1 big walk per day
About: Over 20 years experience with animals large and small. I’ve owned horses, dogs, cats and guinea pigs. I adore all animals, their happiness is my priority. I will put your pet first at all times Their happiness is priority I can be flexible as I am self employed I fir around them I have a fenced back garden with lots of accessible foot paths I live in a village Can stay with your pet for as long as need be

We couldn’t speak highly enough of Sarah. The level of care Sarah and Martin provide for Jaffa Cake is second to none. They go out of their way to make Jaffa feel at home, taking him on lovely walks and trips. Jaffa loves staying with Sarah and Martin so much that he is reluctant to come home!!! Just perfect.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in East Northamptonshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Midlands 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 .
