“Very happy with how Berkeley was looker after by Lorraine, plenty of walks and cuddles for him. Regular updates sent to us whilst we were away with pictures showing how he was enjoying himself during our absence :-). Would definitely recommend Lorraine and would have no hesitation in choosing her again to look after Berkeley.”
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”
About: My self and my Husband Darran loves dogs, we partically love any bully breed as we have a female staffy who we have trained from a puppy, she is spayed and loves playing with other dogs, she is the soppiest dog ever! We look after friends and family dogs every year Me and my husband both work, Husband works night 6pm-6am, Husband walks the dog in the morning and I walk in the evening. I work days from home so someone is always at home. We have 3 children aged 13,11 and 6 who adore dogs. We just want to share our love for dogs by helping others, we know how hard it is getting a dog sitter so if we can help when we are available then thats all we want too do. Big fenced garden, access to all areas of the home. We have a staffy girl who loves to play with other dogs, able to seperate dogs if they dont get on
“Christine is a communicative and caring sitter and is more than willing to put in the time that requires our dog, Brian, to learn to trust and become comfortable in her home. Two visits in and he is starting to come downstairs to see what she is up to, which is right on target based on our previous experience!”
“I am very happy with Vishnu. We had information about our puppy every day and we could see that he was very calm and that Vishnu was taking more than good care of him. I recommend him”
“What a lovely stay our dog had with Kate! It was truly a home from home experience & she throughly enjoyed it & our minds were at ease. She cared for her so well & loved being with the family & their dogs. It was really a “pawsome” experience! Would definitely recommend!”
“Thank you for providing Toby with a home-from-home stay. We were a little nervous about leaving Toby in a new environment as he is quite an unsettle dog, but all those worries slipped away during our first meeting with you and Eden. Thank you again and we will certainly be making another booking very soon!”
“Absolutely amazing! I can't recommend enough. Cody was welcomed into the family and was given above and beyond what you would expect from home boarding. Will use again going forward without hesitation.”

“We can’t recommend Maisy enough! From the moment we dropped Vinnie off, she made him feel completely at home and welcome. She played with him, fussed over him, and was so thoughtful about his needs — especially as he’s a rather lazy bulldog! Maisy sent us daily updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re so happy to have found her and will definitely be booking again. Thanks Maisy!”
“Roksana was brilliant my two dogs. She sent plenty of updates, photos and videos. Took them on lots of walks. With one of them being quite anxious to start with, she really seemed to settle her which was reassuring, having lots of experience and knowledge about various breeds and their behaviours. Roksana clearly has a great love of dogs and they’ve had a ball! Will definitely be a repeat customer for my next trip away.”
About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I don’t just “watch” your pets, I care for them like family. With a deep love for all creatures, and a commitment to personalized attention, I go above and beyond to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or special medical needs, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Your peace of mind (and your pet’s wellbeing) are my top priorities.

I follow any special instructions from the owner to make the transition as smooth and familiar as possible.
“Remy our Rhodesian Ridgeback clearly had a great time. I'm not sure that he really wanted to come home, having made friends with Bailey and Ruby. Great communication from Una with pictures and video updates gave us real piece of mind. Thankyou!”
About: I've always had a love for animals and can't help but to fall in love with every one that I meet! There's many reasons why you may need someone to help out and I understand the importance of finding (and trusting) the right person to care for your beloved fur babies. All I can say is that I will care for and love your pet(s) like they were my very own. I have a cat myself who has completley changed my life for the PAWsitive and in turn I have taught myself all about how their minds work and what helps them to thrive. Love definitely isn't an issue, but I know there are other important factors - I'm very detailed orientated and organised and will make sure that the care your pet receives falls into what you, as their parent, want and need! Working in a vet has given me knowledge about dogs and cats that I can utilise to maintain a happy, wholesome and most importantly, safe environment! I am home most of the time, so my daily/weekly schedule is very flexible. You let me know what works for you and we can take it from there! I can follow any specific requirements, such as dietary needs, specific times for walks/feeding, health issues and medication etc, so that their routines aren't disrupted and there won't be any issues once you are reunited!
About: About me: My rescue Dutch Shepherd passed recently at 14 after 12 years together. He was my family but he had reactivity and towards the end needed a lot of care around illness and dementia. Raising and training him has given me so much love for dogs along with a good amount of experience around dog body language (his and other dogs), training and general situational awareness. I also learned so much about clear requests and firm boundaries while advocating for him. Because of that he was able to have so many human friends and dog besties despite the reactivity. And I've done lots of walks and sits for those doggy friends over the years. I'm not ready to have another dog or cat myself, but I'd love to care for other folks' furry family. Things to be aware of Boarding: I have an elderly cat, so to board at my home, your dog will need to be good with cats. Unless your dog currently lives with cats I'll ask for a meet and greet at my home so that they can meet and I can assess. House sitting: I will accept house sitting visits outside of my set area if it is for multiple nights. There's no effective way to set things up that way on this site so please get in touch. I also can do longer than a week house sits for folks that I have done sits for previously. I work from home part time- Monday to Wednesday with plenty of flexibility around those working days. I can set my hours on those days as needed. And my days off are completely mine to schedule. The owner is always the best resource for how to care for their pet. My first port of call will be to go through questions related to behaviour and care, to make sure that I can meet everything that's needed. Aside from that I'm confident walking dogs of any size. Even if you're happy for your dog to be off lead, I will keep them on lead for the first few walks until I'm confident that they will recall to me consistently. Im happy working with spicy kitties who need extra time to build trust. My home is spacious and has a walled garden. I still have bowls, fountains, scratching posts, toys and crates from my previous pets that I can bring out of storage as needed.
“We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter! Pavlína was so warm, caring and clearly loved Summer from the very beginning. She even bought toys and treats specially for Summer, which was incredibly thoughtful and really showed how much she cared. We felt very comfortable knowing that Summer was in such loving hands. We would definitely ask her to look after Summer again next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommended! ❤️🐶”
“Anastasija was able to accommodate our request on a very short notice. She and her family were very welcoming and friendly. Her daughter is the cutest (and really educated on boundaries with new animals!). I would love to choose her as our sitter going forward! Morpheus was calm, warm and very well taken care of.”

Maisy was fantastic with Bess who had a lovely three days and was totally happy with her. She kept us very well informed and provided lots of photos and videos, that showed Bess was enjoying her stay. I can wholly recommend Maisy as I would be confident she would care really well for your dog 👏👏
We are so happy with Victoria! They’ve taken care of our dog so well! He was so well looked after, walked loads, played loads and was never left alone. He also got on really well with their 2 doggies. He definitely had a holiday with them while we were away. Such a friendly family! Cannot recommend them enough!
We couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters than Caitlin and her boyfriend Alex. We booked at very short notice after being let down by family who were supposed to look after our dog while we were on holiday, and both she and her boyfriend were incredibly accommodating to our situation. They honestly saved our holiday. From the moment we started speaking, they were so welcoming and clearly care about the dogs they look after. Our dog can be quite nervous with new people, but she settled in so well and was clearly comfortable with them right from the first meet and greet. Caitlin sent daily updates with photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was vary obvious from every update that Rosie was happy, relaxed and having a great time. They really went above and beyond in every way. Even giving her a bath so she smelled nice before we collected her, which was so thoughtful! On a personal note, I’m AuDHD, so last minute changes really send me spiralling. Being let down just before our holiday was SO stressful, but Caitlin and Alex completely turned the situation around. I’m so grateful for how accommodating and understanding they were and they never once made me feel that my ridiculous questions and sending of (probably entirely unnecessary!) pdf information sheets was too much 🫣 We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Rosie with them again and would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for caring, reliable dog sitters. Thank you both for taking such brilliant care of her (and me!) 💗🐾
Several visits in with Christine and Brian was so content he barely registered I had arrived to collect him. It is important that we feel Brian is at ease with his sitters as that's when he shows people who he really is, and that is clearly the case and we cannot wait to drop him off again so he can hang out.
Highly recommended sitters. Our cockapoo Alfie has just returned from his third stay with Gosia and her partner. They are such a lovely couple who genuinely love dogs and know how to take good care of them. Alfie settles with them instantly and is always well looked after. Gosia also keeps us regularly updated with plenty of photographs so we can relax knowing he is in safe hands . Thanks again to you both xx
Absolutely astonishing care 👌 Callisto spent a few nights boarding with Carrie, Nemo and Archer whilst my partner and I were on holiday. Wonderful meet and greet beforehand where we explained how Callisto was with different family members for the start, and end of our holiday, but she was excellent in being a part of the planning, settling anxieties and being a 10/10 hilarious, compassionate human who is outwardly disability and LGBTQ+ friendly. We received photos, videos and updates throughout Callisto's stay and we are very very happy with the care, companionship and adorable play and nap time she got. Carrie is a diamond, as are Nemo and Archer. Very highly recommend ✨✨
Can not express how grateful I was for Kerry! She made the whole process so easy before and during. Lots of communication, photos and videos! My To y had such a good time I’m not sure he really wanted to come home 😊 thank you to Kerry and her family for looking after my boy so well
Laura and Simon were fantastic! We have an anxious dachshund and always worry about leaving him but after Rufus met Laura and Simon we knew there was nothing to worry about. They made sure Rufus had a great day filled with play and cuddles! The photo and video updates put us at ease. We would definitely book with Laura and Simon again!
Kerry looked after Harry overnight until the next evening. I am on holiday and I had arranged for a friend to pick Harry up and carry on with his boarding. Unfortunately they were later than anticipated at picking Harry up, but Kerry was excellent and said it was not a problem. I would certainly recommend Kerry and I would definitely let Kerry look after Harry again.
Charlotte and Dan were amazing from the off set! The communication from the messages to sending photos of our boy throughout his stay was so reassuring. Bruno had the best time on his mini holiday! Would 100% recommend and will use Charlotte and Dan again in the future! Thankyou! 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northampton on Rover is £33.35 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 1,230 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Northampton. 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 .
