Dog Boarding in Northampton

“We couldn’t be happier with how Vicky has cared for Monty whilst we’ve been away. We’ve had plenty of updates with photos and videos. Monty has loved his time with Vicky and we’ll definitely be going straight back to her, the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Lorraine was warm and friendly..a real doggy person. She looked after our boy Rufus really well and was very considerate of him. She kept us up to date with how he was doing and sent us plenty of photos. She looked after him as if he was her own. We would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”

“Zoe and her family were very welcoming and friendly. They have two dogs themselves and their love for them is clear to see. We instantly knew after our first trial visit that our dog would be well looked after in their care. Bailey has just returned from his first overnight/day stay and I was kept well updated and provided with lots of photos which was very reassuring. Bailey was treated like their own dog and he has come back home very happy and content after his stay! Bailey is already booked in for later in the year and will be sure to book in again inbetween! Thank you Zoe and family 😊”

About: I am an experienced, reliable dog lover offering a safe, calm and caring home-from-home for your dog. I’ve had dogs for many years and have experience with a range of breeds, ages and temperaments, including senior dogs. I lost my two elderly dogs last year, and I really miss having dogs around. My home is quiet and well-suited to dogs who prefer a relaxed environment, with my children now 17 and 18. I have a secure garden and live just two minutes from Upton Country Park, so your dog will enjoy plenty of walks and outdoor time. I offer boarding, weekend stays and holiday care, and I’m happy to stick closely to your dog’s usual routine. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to give you complete peace of mind. I work locally (Monday–Friday) and am home around 50% of the time. When I’m not home, one or both of my children (17 and 18) are usually in, and they are confident and experienced with dogs, having grown up with them. At weekends, I’m home most of the time, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and longer walks. Your dog will have regular company, attention, and access to the garden for toilet breaks throughout the day, and will rarely be left alone. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure home environment with a fully enclosed garden for safe outdoor time. I ensure dogs are settled and comfortable, whether relaxing indoors or enjoying walks nearby. I stick closely to each dog’s usual routine, including feeding, exercise, and any specific needs. I only take a limited number of dogs at one time to ensure each one receives plenty of attention and care. I always check with owners regarding how their dog is with others, and I’m happy to care for dogs separately if they are more comfortable being the only dog. I’m always happy to follow your instructions so your dog feels as at home as possible. I have space for a crate if your dog prefers it for sleeping or relaxing, or large cushions for those who prefer a more open setup.

“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!”

“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.”

“The best ever, my Cooper is full of energy and he couldn't have been looked after any better! If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Kept me up to date and communication was on point!”

“We are blown away with the level of love and care that Christine gave our dog Disco! It was his first time doing overnight boarding - she was communicative and professional, and we loved having all the updates on how he was doing! He’s returned very happy (and tired from being so stimulated)! Thank you so much - we hope he can stay again soon.”

“Very friendly & our puppy Bruno had lots of fun!”

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!

“Thank you for taking so good care of Dolly!!!! Lovely lady , booking went smoothly, she could accommodate my dog as a last minute need. During the boarding time I received lots of pictures and videos of my dog very happy as it was at home. The food I provided wasn't t enough(my mistake) but Georgeta was so kind and went to buy her favourite food. Thank you and will definitely contact her again next time”

“Meeting Vishnu for the first time… very kind and helpful. Sent photos of Coco all the time and kept me updated on how she was doing. Coco thoroughly enjoyed her stay as she was very calm when I picked her up 😊”

“Chloe was very much at home with Caroline. Caroline walked Chloe with her own pet dog - which is great socialisation, her location benefits from some great green open space. Caroline’s dog and Chloe both played very well together and settled into sharing the dog play-room. We’ll be using Caroline’s services again.”

Victoria M.

“Emily was absolutely amazing and given I had never left my two dogs before made me feel very at ease…both my dogs had a wonderful week and I would highly recommend Emily ….i will definitely be using Emily again”

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 work from home, so have lots of time to look after your pet. My days are structured to ensure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and affection. Flexibility and commitment allow me to adapt to every pet’s schedule and maintain a stress-free, comforting experience for both pets and their owners. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where they feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of toys, cosy rest areas, and a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I follow any special instructions from the owner to make the transition as smooth and familiar as possible.

“Watson really enjoyed her stay. Adrienne was so understanding with us as it was the first time we were worried how she would get on. She is Supper caring and made her feel at home. Unless you know Watson she never looks happy and never takes a good photo but the updates we got through the day made us feel so much less anxious as we knew she was settled. Would totally recommend.”

“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: I recently volunteered in a dog shelter, working with all ranges of dogs, such as puppy’s to senior dogs to dogs that needed extra support. Responsibilities included feeding, walking, playing, cleaning kennels, socialising dogs, and assisting with general welfare needs. This experience strengthened my understanding of canine behaviour, patience, and the importance of providing compassionate, reliable care. I’ve recently returned from travelling and am currently looking for my next role, which means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine right now, allowing me to give dogs lots of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I have a secure fenced garden and live near lots of countryside, so there are plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for dogs that enjoy being active. I provide lots of attention, playtime, and care, while following each pet’s usual feeding, walking, and care routine to help them feel happy and comfortable both in my home and in their owner’s home.
