“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!”
“Ivy took Baxter for a little under 2 weeks at the last minute after an issue with another sitter. She understood his specifc needs well and seemed like a natural. I got excellent communication with regular updates and photos/videos. I would happily take Baxter back again, highly recommended.”
“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!”
“I was very anxious to leave buddy with anyone else other than family. Hannah put my mind right at ease the family are lovely. Drizzy is beautiful. Buddy had a lovely walk and play time with his new friends. I would 100% recommend Hannah to anyone. Definitely be choosing theses guys again.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing. She kept us updated on how Stan was throughout the weekend and sent us pictures. Stan settled in extremely well and looked extremely comfortable. All I can say is thankyou Laura and that I highly recommended anyone using your services.”
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.
“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.”
“Lexi loved her stay with Yvette. Lexi can be a little nervous but was comfortable straight away with Yvette and her 2 children because of the environment she created for her. Lexi can’t wait to stay again. Thank you for being so great with her!”
“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!”
About: As a dedicated pet owner to two dogs and a cat, I have hands-on experience providing attentive and loving care. I’m flexible, dependable, and confident handling a wide range of animals (with the exception of spiders!). My priority is making sure your pets feel secure, comfortable, and cared for—just as they would at home—so you can have complete peace of mind. I am now medically retired so I can completely focus my time on the animals and their needs, so any routine that they require will not be broken, and I am highly flexible also. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved at all times. I follow each owner’s routine closely and provide lots of care, attention, playtime and supervision
About: I’ve always house sat or took care of my friends or families pets! Would love to help out whenever to who ever i can !! I’m currently working shift work so there’s some days of the week where i’m not working at all which works out perfect for those who work weekdays and might need a little bit of support! I have a fenced garden which will be safe for fur babies! I also live in a very quiet estate so perfect for getting puppies used to walking outdoors with limited stress! Also a household of people who love animals and are overall quiet so the animals will be showered with love!
“Richard and Elaine really looked after Pepsi so well. Pepsi was happy and very content. I would definitely leave Pepsi with Richard and Elaine again. Thank you Richard and Elaine, Pepsi came home a very happy doggie. Hope to see you again soon. Kind Regards :-)”
“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.”
“We were naturally quite anxious about leaving our two dogs overnight, especially as one of them has separation anxiety and, since coming to us as a re-home five months ago, has never been left before. Georgina was incredibly patient, understanding, and reassuring throughout the whole experience. Georgina took the time to make both dogs feel comfortable and kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear Georgina genuinely cared about our dogs and made every effort to ensure they felt safe and settled. We collected two happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we’re so grateful for the care and attention they received. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Georgina to anyone, especially if you have a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful experience such a positive one! We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first overnight experience.”
“Karina is obviously an animal lover and took good care of my cat. She sent regular updates and reached out to ask about his habits etc. When we went to pick him up he seemed very comfortable and confident in his holiday home. Thanks”
“Caroline was great in keeping us updated about our boys stay with photos and texts. As a first time pet boarder Caroline made me feel at ease and I knew she would take care of our pet like one of her own. Thank you!”
“Luke has been great. Took care of both my dogs Elsa and Bella for 4 nights. They are big and excited dogs so not easy to handle but he did it well. I got updates throughout the day with photos and when something came up he quickly called me and sorted it there and then. Definitely recommending Luke to all my friends and will be using him in the future as he has been amazing and the dogs loved it, they were well looked after. Thank you Luke”

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!
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. :)
I left my Labrador for the first time and was really nervous about it. But everything turned out absolutely amazing! I received daily updates and photos and videos showing how he was doing and what he was up to. Abby truly loved him and took such great care of him, which made me feel so much calmer. When we picked him up, he was so relaxed – clearly well-walked and happily tired from all the playtime (he’s a big dog, over 40 kg, and without good exercise he gets way too active at home). This honestly exceeded all my expectations. I’m beyond happy I chose Abby – I don’t think I could have found better care for my dog. Thank you so, so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kettering on Rover is £34.5 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 1,095 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kettering. 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 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 .
