“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.

“I am glad we chose Karina as our pet daycare nanny. The house was well equipped and welcoming for new explorers! Although my cat is an introvert and prefers to spend time alone, Karina has amazing pets, especially the dog who was very friendly and tried to befriend my cat. She created the necessary accommodations so he is less stressed as he does not like being away from home. Thank you Karina!”


“Luna was so very well looked after, I was sent lovely pics of Luna settled and it was great to see, I’d highly recommend Georgina, thanks again, Luna has come home so happy and relaxed !”

I can have pets over night, every night and on my days off, mostly Thursday and Sunday, on the days off I have lots of time to spend with little furry friends 🧡 I have secured balcony there cats can enjoy sunshine and watching birds, I love cuddling them and play with them.

About: If I had to choose between spending the day with people or dogs... the dogs would win every time! 😂 I've always been a huge animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I've grown up around them my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have two gorgeous dogs of my own—Yorkshire Terrier ( Maja) and a Cockapoo puppy ( Mimi) —who are a huge part of my life. They keep me on my toes with lots of adventures, cuddles, and playtime! Alongside caring for my own dogs, I've regularly looked after and walked dogs for family and friends, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to explore or prefers a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing stops, I'll tailor every walk and visit to suit their individual needs. Pet care is something I genuinely love and enjoy being part of my routine. I’m fully flexible on weekends, making them ideal for longer walks, adventures, dog sitting, and giving your furry friend plenty of attention and care. I’m happy to work with your dog's usual routine and will always do my best to provide reliable, consistent care. Whether your dog needs an exciting adventure walk, some one-to-one attention, or a cosy home-from-home stay, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. I understand that every dog has different needs, so I’m always happy to chat about what works best for you and your furry friend. 🐶💕 If your dog stays with me, they'll be welcomed into a loving family home and treated like one of my own. I live in a spacious three-bedroom house with a fully secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or simply relax in the sunshine. Inside, they'll have plenty of cosy places to curl up, lots of love and attention, and as many cuddles as they'll allow! For dog walking, I’m happy to offer both solo walks and walks with my own two dogs joining us. If you would like your dog to have a one-to-one walk with me, that is absolutely fine. Alternatively, if you’re happy for your dog to have some friendly company, my two girls would love to come along and enjoy the adventure too! Just let me know what you’d prefer when booking, and I’ll make sure your dog has a fun, safe, and enjoyable walk that suits your wishes. For dog boarding and stays in my home, my two girls will naturally be part of the family environment, so I kindly ask that any dogs staying with me are friendly, comfortable, and happy around other dogs. I’ll always make introductions carefully and make sure every dog feels settled, safe, and welcomed as part of the family. 🐾

About: I've grown up around dogs and have always loved their company. Over the years, I've enjoyed looking after dogs for friends and family, and it's something that comes naturally to me. I'm a kind, patient and reliable person, and I'll always do my best to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and loved while you're away. I only look after dogs from one household at a time, meaning your furry friend will get all the attention, care and affection they deserve. I prefer calm, well-trained dogs and aim to create a relaxed, welcoming environment where they can settle in and feel right at home. I completely understand how important it is to know your dog is in good hands while you're away. That's why I'm always happy to send regular updates, photos and videos, so you can see how they're getting on and enjoy your time away with peace of mind. If you think I'd be a good fit for your four-legged friend, I'd love to hear from you! You're more than welcome to message me with any questions or simply have a chat about your dog's personality, daily routine and needs before making a booking.

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.
About: I am a licenced home boarder based in Kettering and run my own boarding, daycare and dog walking business. I've worked with dogs professionally full-time for 6 months and part time for over a year. I now care for dogs every day and also have a 2 year old miniature labradoodle named Ziggy. He's full of beans but I've put a lot of effort into his training and it's definitely paid off. I've taken an interest in dog training and although I'm by no means an expert, I do understand dogs behaviours and body language well. I think I want to pursue this as a career in the future but looking to get as much care experience in as possible. Being a dog owner myself I know what it's like to want the best for them. They're family ❤️ Pet (dog) care is my full time job so if I have availability, I will definitely be able to take care of your furry family! After a bad experience putting my own dog into a kennel, I personally always feel more at ease knowing my dog is safe in his own home with someone I can trust. I also understand that some animals can be timid and nervous, I will do my best to gain their trust and companionship at a pace that suits them. I am calm but assertive and very aware of my surroundings so you (and your animals!) will feel safe and secure with them under my care.
“Contacted Chloe and she responded immediately in the evening, needed someone last minute to take care of my Bella. She was able to collect and drop her of to me and she also updated me with pictures and texts. Very profession and caring, would 100% recommend. Will not leave my dog with anyone else. See you soon, thank you xx”

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Kettering
We are very happy with the care and kindness shown to our rather boisterous puppy by Krys and Sammie. We were a little worried as he is a bit of a cheeky chap, but were reassured on our visit to their home as he loved their dogs and spent the entire meeting playing round the garden . We were sent regular updates and lots of photos and videos throughout his weekend stay - he seemed to be very happy and relaxed with Krys and Sammies's two dogs and looked like he loved the company and attention . We would definitely recommend and hope that they will agree to look after Basil again in the future! Many thanks again A and J

We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful dog sitter for Pluto. From the very first moment he was instantly happy and comfortable around Lina which told us everything we needed to know throughout his stay we received the most thoughtful detailed updates almost every day along with lovely photos that truly put our minds at ease. It was also nice to see Pluto nicely warming up with Lina's cat Moose. Pluto had the best time especially with all the attention he received from Lina's extended family members during the Christmas time. He was showered with love, attention, cuddles, treats and even gifts by her whole family. Lina was always responsive whenever we had questions or wanted extra details about what Pluto was up to. Her communication was consistently reassuring. We would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter. And we’ll certainly be leaving Pluto again with her without a worry. :)

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
