About: Hi, I’m Maria. My husband and I live in Hanwood Park, and together we offer a calm, loving, home-from-home environment where dogs and cats are truly treated as part of the family. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs of many breeds and personalities — Schnauzers, Cocker Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Boxers, Lhasa Apsos, Weimaraners, and more — as well as cats. Over the years, friends and families have trusted me with their pets again and again, knowing they’ll be loved, understood, and cared for with patience and attention. What matters most to me is that every dog feels safe, relaxed, and emotionally settled while they’re with us. A Home Built on Trust, Not Just Care I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else — they’re family, not “just a pet.” That’s why I’ve always focused on building long-term trust and familiarity with the dogs I care for, rather than quick, one-off stays. Because my husband and I work as a team of two, your dog benefits from: 🐾Constant human presence 🐾Consistent routines 🐾A calm, stable home environment 🐾Never left alone for long periods 🐾Plenty of affection, cuddles, and gentle play 🐾Walks tailored to your dog’s routine and energy level 🐾Access to a garden for fresh air and relaxed time outdoors 🐾Care adapted to your dog’s personality — playful or quiet, young or senior 🐾Regular updates, photos, or videos if you’d like We especially love caring for dogs whose owners are looking for consistency and continuity — a familiar home they can return to whenever you travel, work, or need support. When a dog stays with us, they’re not just being looked after — they’re welcomed into our home and cared for with patience, kindness, and respect. If you’d like to arrange a meet & greet or ask any questions, I’d be very happy to hear from you. We look forward to welcoming your dog My husband and I both work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout the day. We naturally build pet care into our daily routine, including walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding schedules, and quiet rest time. We’re available for boarding during weekdays, weekends, and longer stays, and we always aim to create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family. We provide a calm home environment with a secure garden, consistent routines, and lots of gentle attention and affection. Because there are two of us, pets are never left alone for long periods and always have someone nearby for reassurance and care. We take time to understand each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they can feel settled, comfortable, and truly at home with us.

About: I have been involved in caring for dogs for over 35 yrs as a qualified veterinary nurse, manager of a boarding breeding and rehousing kennels and currently as a dog trainer and with my own dogs. I am confident to support with medication, look after nervous, anxious and even aggressive dogs. I am passionate about puppy foundations and safe exposure to a wide variety of experiences to ensure the best start equipping your dog to have confidence and life skills. Your requirements can be discussed if you do have a young dog or even a dog needing to gain some confidence eg a rehome. I can provide a safe, warm home environment for elderly dogs and can offer them time and my experience to ensure they settle in my home. Your pet can socialise with my dogs if this is beneficial but can also be kept separately if required. I have experience working with guide dogs and assistance dogs. My own dogs have been registered Pets As Therapy dogs and used to help individuals conquer dog phobias. Please get in touch to discuss how I might be able to help. 1:1 training opportunities also available by request. I work part time and can devote part and full days to looking after your pet. Pets can be walked once or twice a day with regular toilet breaks. I have a fully secure garden with direct access to local fields and footpaths for county walks. Dogs can be with my own dogs or kept separately if required. Whichever is more beneficial for your pet. I am happy to use crates but this is not a necessity. Dogs can sleep upstairs if required and are welcome on the sofa.

About: Dogs have been at the centre of my life for as long as I can remember, and quite simply, they are my world. My wife and I don't have children, so our three dogs are our fur babies and cherished members of the family. Any dog that stays with us will be treated exactly the same way, with love, patience, affection, and plenty of individual attention. We live in the countryside on a beautiful property with a secure one-acre fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and relax. We also have access to a six-acre field, perfect for longer walks, games and adventures. Surrounded by nature, there are endless exciting smells, sights and countryside trails to enjoy, making every walk stimulating and enjoyable for your dog. One of our own dogs is now elderly and requires daily support, medication and extra care. Because of this, I have extensive experience looking after senior dogs and those with medical needs. I understand how important routine, patience and reassurance are, and I am confident administering medication and providing the extra attention older dogs often need. Over the years, I have also owned and cared for rescue dogs with behavioural challenges. Through consistency, understanding and positive reinforcement, I have helped anxious and nervous dogs build confidence and thrive in a loving environment. In fact, people in our village affectionately call me "The Dog Whisperer" because of the bond I seem to form with dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I strongly believe that every dog is unique. Before your dog stays with us, I will take the time to understand their normal routine, likes, dislikes and any special requirements. If they are used to morning cuddles, evening sofa time, favourite walking routes, medication schedules or specific feeding routines, we will do our very best to replicate this. I know how reassuring consistency can be when dogs are away from home. Whether your dog loves adventures, playing in the garden, relaxing in the sunshine, getting lots of fuss and attention, or simply curling up for a cuddle, they'll be welcomed into our home as part of the family. My aim is for every dog to leave happy, relaxed and excited to come back again. What sets me apart? Large secure 1-acre fenced garden Access to a 6-acre private field for walks and exercise Experienced with senior dogs and administering medication Experience rehabilitating and caring for rescue dogs with behavioural challenges Able to maintain your dog's normal routine and preferences Plenty of one-to-one attention, affection and companionship Genuine lifelong dog lover whose dogs are treated as family "I don't just look after dogs, I welcome them into our family." 🐾❤️ My wife and I both work from home, which means there is usually someone at home throughout the day to provide companionship, attention and care. I work from home three days a week and my wife works from home two days a week, so dogs staying with us are rarely left alone and can enjoy plenty of interaction, playtime, exercise and cuddles. Our days naturally revolve around our own three dogs, with regular walks, garden time, feeding routines and lots of affection. We are happy to adapt our schedule to suit your dog's needs, whether that's longer walks, extra play sessions, medication, comfort breaks, or simply having someone nearby for reassurance. We understand that every dog is different, so we'll take the time to learn their routine and do our best to maintain it during their stay, helping them feel settled, secure and at home. We live in a peaceful countryside location with a secure, fenced one-acre garden where dogs can safely explore, play and relax. We also have access to a six-acre field, providing plenty of space for walks, exercise and enrichment in a safe environment. Our home is shared with our three friendly resident dogs who are well-socialised and love meeting new friends. One of our dogs is now elderly and prefers a quieter pace, but still enjoys being the "mother hen" of the group and is always happy to welcome and look after visiting dogs with plenty of kisses and affection. The safety and wellbeing of every dog is my top priority. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medication, and supporting dogs with additional needs. Having previously owned rescue dogs with behavioural challenges, I understand the importance of patience, consistency and reading canine body language. Before your dog's stay, I'll take the time to understand their routine, personality, preferences and any special requirements. Whether they love adventures, playing with other dogs, sofa cuddles or simply a quiet place to relax, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and treated as one of the family. My promise is simple: your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be loved. 🐾❤️
About: Hi, I’m Maddy, the owner of Maddy’s Happy Paws! I’m a reliable and caring dog walker/ day sitter with hands-on experience looking after dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs, so I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated like one of my own, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages from our walks and time together! I am fully insured, DBS checked and first aid trained😊 I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends🐶❤️ I work full time as a dog walker and day sitter. I am currently building up my clientele as I’ve just opened my own business! I provide walks, drops in and day sitting care. When day sitting dogs in my home, I provide a safe and calm environment with a fully fenced garden so dogs can enjoy secure outdoor time. I also keep spare equipment such as leads, collars, towels, treats and cleaning supplies so I’m always prepared and dogs stay comfortable. In owners’ homes, I follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel relaxed and settled. I make sure they have plenty of attention and any specific care they need. On walks, safety is always my priority. I keep dogs on lead where needed, stay aware of our surroundings and make sure they get the right level of exercise for their age and energy. Walks are always fun, engaging and tailored to each dog.

“Bambi and Peanut had a wonderful stay and were very well looked after. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. They loved playing with Lottie and clearly had a great time together. They came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We’d happily book again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

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 East Northamptonshire 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 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.
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 .
