Awesome carers and great family. Yu and partner were hands on with Ricco from the minute they met. Ricco settled in with ease and there were a lot of interactions during his stay. Top notch hospitality x

Our Charlie went to Emma today and had a great stay. Emma and her family were so friendly and made me feel instantly happy leaving Charlie with them. She sent me videos of charlie having fun.I will certainly use Emma's services again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

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: I’ve been involved with animals ever since I can remember! From owning 3 horses and 2 beloved rescue dogs! I know how to adapt and change to each animal understanding not all of them are the same. I am also a qualified nurse so from my animal experience and nursing experience I’ve learnt how to communicate with both owner and animal. I work as an nurse as hoc and have enjoyed taking a break from the hospital!! And I have a wide range of availability and will most likely be free! I can communicate effectively with you the owner to understand where your pet is allowed. From owning two rescue dogs I’m also aware of certain dogs being afraid or aggressive to other dogs so I would walk on other side of the path to keep dogs away. I have had a huge experience around poorly pets- My current rescue has to have regular medication including injections and eye drops, I have also had experience with strokes amongst dogs and post operative care. My being a vet has enabled me to pick up critical information for dealing with emergency’s and the general health and well being of animals. I am also aware that dogs love company and like other dogs so I’m suited to all pet needs. I also give great cuddles and I seem to have a good track record with pets and they seem to always want more! I have plenty of time to play with your pups or cats due to being a newly graduate from university. I am available weekdays, weekends and all times of the day. I will ensure your dog remains in eye contact to make sure there’s no escapes. My sister is a qualified vet and my experience and knowledge of emergency care has grown from her. I will have your vets contact number in my phone before any visit/sitting.

Chewie had the best day playing with her friends! She is so well taken care of, has copious cuddles, lots of fun and she always comes home exhausted from all the excitement. Hannah keeps us up to date consistently throughout the day on how Chewie is doing and sends lots of photos to show the fun. We are so grateful to have found Hannah💛

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.

About: When I was about 10, we rescued my English Setter at the RSPCA. I trained him to trust humans again which wasn’t easy, taught him a range of tricks and provided him with unconditional love he had never received before. My pets are back home in Geneva, so I don’t own any pets in the UK at the moment. My friends refer to me as the biggest animal lover they’ve met, catch me petting every animal I pass by on the streets :) I’ve walked multiple dogs in my neighbourhood when my neighbours needed it, and took them home for the day when needed too! I work from home every day, and have a pretty relaxed schedule with one meeting a day as I am a developper, so I have plenty of extra time to look after your dog and take them on walks around the neighborhood :) I live in a detached house in Hanwood Park, I have a good-sized fenced garden where your dog can go running around and play, and also have a hose outside in case they get muddy so I can clean them up before they go back home!

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

Laura looked after our very bouncy 15 month old rescue Lurcher, unfortunately he was a tad boystrious with her dogs so had to be separated after a while, he seem to have a lovely time running in and out the garden and making carrot mess and was pretty exhausted once he got home, would definitely recommend

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.

About: Save £30 on your first booking with my promo code ZOEC43917! Just enter it at checkout to claim your discount. I have experience looking after dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior pets and those who are a little more nervous. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their own environment while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine. I take the time to get to know each pet and their individual needs, whether that’s taking things a little slower on walks, keeping to a structured routine, or giving extra care and patience to older or more anxious pets. Occasionally, my partner will join me during a house sit to keep me (and the pets!) company. If that isn’t something you’re comfortable with, or you think it wouldn’t suit your pet, just let me know beforehand and I’m more than happy to work around it. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and well looked after. I always make sure they get plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection, so they feel settled until you’re home again. I’m reliable, punctual, and genuinely love caring for animals. I’ll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect as if they were my own. I am currently working and studying from home so I am available for all pet needs and services. Caring for pets is already apart of my daily routine having many pets myself. I’m able to care for pets both in my own home and in the pet owner’s home, depending on what is most comfortable for the pet and preferred by the owner. When caring for pets in the owner’s home, I aim to keep their routine as normal as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime, and any specific instructions such as medication. I also make sure the home is left clean and secure, and I provide regular updates with photos so the owner has peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I ensure they have a comfortable space, follow their usual feeding routine, and give them plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for during their stay. In both cases, my priority is always the pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and safety.

Lina was quite professional in her communication and ensured that she kept me updated through the day on how Pluto was doing.Pluto definitely was a happy pup when I picked him up end of the day. It was also good to know that Pluto warmed up to Moose as he is scheduled for a a longer stay at a later date . It was also good that she had a meet and greet initially to ensure Moose and Pluto get along well. Highly recommend.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Kettering

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Kettering on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,102 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Kettering. About 87% of Kettering sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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 Kettering 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 .
