“This was our first time using this service and I have to say I would highly recommend Lorraine, from start to finish she was accommodating with our 2 little pugs! She had them for 2 nights and kept us informed regularly of how they were and when they went for walks putting our minds at rest. I really can’t thank her enough and will definitely go back to her thank you Lorraine!! From Hayley Darren Princess & Betty xx”
“Lexi, our senior dog, is a rescue and doesn't get along well with other dogs. When we found Vicky and had a chat, we knew Lexi would enjoy her stay while we were away. Not only is it a calm environment, she was well looked after, with extra walks, and engagement. Vicky and her partner were very accommodating, adaptable and had an appetite to welcome Lexi into the household in a very encouraging manner to give her the freedom she needed. Communication was good through out and their were daily updates with photos. It's safe to say you can't really go wrong here.”
“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.”
“Great family that made a home from home for Alfie , regular pictures and updates while at away . Would highly recommend to anyone. Plenty of communication pre stay and upon pre stay meet .”
“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!”
“From the pictures and videos Jana sent Archie had a fabulous stay. Jana kept me updated on how Archie was doing which made my time away more enjoyable. I won’t hesitate to ask Jana in the future to look after Archie.”
“Our dachshund Dustin has a great time going to Zoe's and it gives me great peace of mind to know he is going to be well looked after. She has been great at accommodating his needs and administering his medicines when needed, and I really appreciate her flexibility and professionalism. 100% recommend”
“Anthony looked after my 15 month old husky for 3 days and 2 nights. We had an initial meet and greet with which Obi made himself right at home and any worries that I had were addressed. Obi came home from his stay a very happy and tired dog, quite an achievement given his age and breed. Anthony sent me picture updates, and it was evident that both him and his partner made Obi feel very loved in a home away from home. He has walked for miles, made new friends and been very stimulated. I'll definitely be using Anthony again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my rescue dog for 4 years now. He completely transformed from being scared and unsure to confident, friendly and playful doggie. He loves company so I’ve decided to start boarding and daycare services. I live in a house with a fenced garden and will welcome any type of dog: all sizes and age :) I’m currently working full time from home, Monday to Friday, with a long lunch break to walk the dogs. I spend a lot of time on walks and games with my doggie during the weekend. I have a fenced garden and one friendly, medium size dog to keep your fur baby company. The house is spacious and safe with outside cameras.
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!
“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.”
“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.”
About: The reason i am a pet sitter is because I love getting to know and looking after all animals of many shapes and sizes. This is my only job and I have been looking after my mums and friends dogs and cats for years but have only been doing this professionally for a year. I am available 6 days of the week but wednesday. I have always gotten along and connected deeply with animals, even when just meeting them. I dont have any issues I've your pet is hyperactive, shy, not vaccinated, or not spayed, but I would like prior notice. You'll be glad to know i have never had to deal with an emergency situation but on the off chance i will collect your vettinary service and pet insurance if applicable. When it comes to anxious pets i will let them come to me in their own time and ofcourse let them do the sniff test first. If you are considering me for looking after your fur baby in my home, please note, my partner likes to come with me and pet sit beside me and if you are not comfortable with that please let me know. I live with my partner in a flat and we have two kittens who are shy to begin with but very welcoming to new animals. I can't wait to meet your gorgeous fluff babies, I would be very happy to hear from you and to be considered to treat, play, and look after your pets. This is my current job so I have plenty of availability and time to play with your dogs and cats. I am available for all the pet care you need. I have a spacious and open living/dining room and my bedroom door is always open when boarding for pets, I work with my partner as its always good to have extra support if needed. If your pet needs crating, I dont provide that in my home and cannot do this, if I am looking after your pet in your home I am able to follow your pets routine, whatever it may entail.
“Absolutely Fantastic!! We have already requested some more dates . Kingsley and Dotti had an amazing time. We’re well cared for and came back really happy . Extremely accommodating!! 5 star service !! Highly recommend!!!!!”
“Alex and Caitlin looked after our 5yo Std Schnauzer for 10 days or so. On our return she was happy and healthy and full of bounce. We got photos and updates while we were away, and looks like she was v chilled between all the walks. Would def send her to stay with them again.”
About: I've owned / lived with dogs my entire life,and some cats, I adore pets of all personalities, and even strangers dogs approach me so I like to think they adore me back. With 2 of us living in the household there's never a moment where your dog can't be cared for, even if we both need to pop out, my little dog is very friendly and social and always looking to play or lay with her friends. I have a secure fenced garden and 3 bed home with a very friendly a social small dog, dogs are allowed full roam of the home and garden, I also live near an open field and a wood to provide dogs with stimulating walks or we drive them to somewhere like a country park.
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.
“Andy was loving and caring towards our two dogs! He was not only professional but easily contactable and replied promptly every time. We were not only comfortable with him looking after our dogs, we would consider visiting their family as they got along so well with our pups! We received images of the dogs and updates daily! Would highly recommend.”
“Everything went well, Coco stayed for a week with Olivia. Olivia has experience with lots of dog breeds, Coco seemed happy, Olivia provided photos and updates throughout the week. Definitely recommend. Thank you ??”

Caitlin and her partner were again great at taking care of my little dog, Leah. I got photo updates and find she is always in a really good eating routine when she comes home despite being a very fussy eater normally! I can tell she really enjoys her time there. Thanks!
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!
Vicky and Tom are very caring for Empress. It’s always a challenge to provide care to a new dog for boarding, especially additional challenge under the heatwave of over 30 degrees. Vicky and Tom prepared Empress cooling mat and fan to keep her cool under the extreme scorching weather. Very grateful to have their love and patience with Empress who is always an anxious dog, but she feels safe and settled with them. Thank you very much for the photos and the updates. I would highly recommend Vicky for boarding and I definitely will seek her help again for Emoress’ next boarding😊 Thank you very much Vicky and Tom🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Very appreciate your help the last 2 nights to take care of Empress🐶🐶🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰😊😊
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! 😊
Maisy again looked after our dog Ralph for several nights giving us regular updates to let us know how he was doing. As well Maisy sends photos and videos to show he’s settled in and happy! Couldn’t wish for a more caring person and will definitely use her again. We go away and know that Ralph is safe content and getting lots of loving cuddles and walks. Thank you Maisy!
I was anxious to leave my pet with someone as this was my first experience with a sitter but Adrienne and Lyle made me feel at ease from the very beginning. Henry can be a nervous dog and has his quirks but they listened and did their best to understand everything I had to say about him. Throughout Henry's stay we remained in contact and I received regular updates and photos of Henry throughout which made me feel much more relaxed seeing he was having a good time and was in good hands. Adrienne and Lyle followed all my instructions and went above and beyond to make Henry feel at home during his first stay. I would strongly recommend them as pet sitters as they are very knowledgable and equipped and it's apparent they love animals. Thank you so much!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Northampton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northampton on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,234 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 .
