“Rebecca has been amazing with our dog Poppy, it’s the first time we’ve trusted anyone in to our home with her; she completely understood her needs and I’ve loved the pupdates. Thank you for looking after her so well and Poppy looks forward to the next time.”
“Sabrina arrived on time to walk my dog Ruby. Ruby was very nervous initially as it was her first time but Sabrina has such a calming nature and makes Ruby feel at ease. We had booked her for a few walks before she takes Ruby for a longer period. Sabrina is a lovely girl and i also feel at ease with leaving Ruby with Sabrina . At the end of the walk Ruby rolled over for a belly Rub. So it went very well.”
“Had a lovely meet and greet with Ashika! Was very nervous as my dog is a bit of a barker, but quickly settled and allowed Ashika to throw her ball and give her treats, which was a huge success! Ashika was very chatty, friendly and easy to get along with. Can't wait to see how my dog bonds with her over time!”
“I cannot rate Jamie highly enough - he was terrific! My dog was one of his biggest fans and would always get excited for his walks with Jamie. Prompt communication and always arrived when agreed, the process was made so much easy by Jamie's professionalism. I especially appreciated Jamie tailoring the walks to to the weather - as when it was over 30°, Jamie changed the activity to one where my dog would be in shade on a field and not walking or running. Thank you so much for everything Jamie!”
About: Hi! We’re Leon and Natassha, a pet-loving couple with a passion for caring for animals. We know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and we’re committed to providing a safe, loving, and fun environment where your pets can feel happy and at home. 🐶🐱 We’re both currently on vacation in the UK for the next two months, so we have a very flexible schedule with no work commitments. This allows us to offer 24/7 care, including overnight stays and house sitting. We’re fully available to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent attention, company, and care throughout the day and night. We care for pets in their own homes as if they were our own, making sure they stay in a familiar, safe, and stress-free environment while receiving plenty of love, attention, and respect. We follow their usual routines closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so everything feels consistent and comforting for them. Natassha loves taking photos, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away.
“Samantha is lovely and was so good with Monty, you can tell how much she loves dogs 🥰 He had a lovely walk with her. Often need a pop in or a dog walk for Monty at the weekend so I’m happy that we can now ask for Samantha. Xx”
About: I’m a devoted dog mum to my beautiful 13 year old Chestie (Chihuahua x Westie) called Bon Bon. Doggies are my absolute world. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have over 30 years hands on experience caring for my own dogs and family dogs, from tiny puppies right through to gentle senior companions. I understand that every dog is different, in personality, routine, confidence and care needs, and I take the time to get to know them properly. I’m fully DBS checked and have completed my Canine First Aid training, so your dog will always be in safe, calm and capable hands. I’m especially confident with Puppies – patience, routine building and positive handling. Senior dogs – slower walks, gentle care, comfort, reassurance and medication awareness I treat every dog as if they were my own. From personal experience, I know how important it is to feel completely at ease when leaving your dog with someone, and I promise your dog baby will receive genuine love, attention, cuddles, enrichment and a peaceful, safe environment. Your dog won’t just be looked after… they will be extremely well cared for. 💚 Pet care fits naturally into my daily life and routine, as dogs are already a big part of my world. I structure my days around dog care, walks and companionship, and I’m setting my schedule on Rover to ensure I can give each dog proper, unhurried attention rather than fitting them in around other commitments. During the day I focus on dog walking, drop-ins and companionship, and I also have flexibility for longer sits and regular weekly bookings. I carefully limit how many dogs I take on at one time so every dog receives calm, consistent care, individual walks where needed, and plenty of one to one attention. As I already care for my own senior dog, Bon Bon, my routine is naturally suited to dogs who may need a quieter environment, gentle walks and a relaxed, reassuring presence. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my week it is a planned and central part of my everyday routine, allowing me to provide reliable, loving and consistent care for every dog I look after. I provide care in your own home and out on walks, so your dog can stay relaxed in their familiar environment and keep to their normal routine. I always follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walking style, routines, medication if needed, and any training or behaviour guidance. I take time to build trust with each dog, using calm, positive handling and lots of reassurance, especially for nervous or senior dogs. For walks, I tailor them to your dog’s age, energy level and needs, from gentle, sniffy strolls for older dogs to more active walks for younger, energetic pups. Safety is always my priority, and with my Canine First Aid training and full DBS check, you can feel confident your dog is in responsible, capable hands. Although I have dogs of my own, I do not offer care in my home, all services are carried out in your home and on your dog’s usual walking routes, giving them consistent care and attention.
About: I enjoy long adventurous walks & hikes with your pup! I have had family dogs and cats since a young child and always been heavily involved with the care process and training within the home since I was around 15/16. Since then I have gone on to care for friends and family members pets of all sizes, big dogs, cute cats and even some funny bunnies! I enjoy big outdoor walks and finding new exciting spaces for your woofers to sniff! I am also not new to close protection dogs and their specialty needs or exotic house cats such as Bengals and Maine coons. I can be available daily for your dogs needs! I am looking for this to become a more permanent role for myself and to eventually transfer over to this being my main occupation. I am more than happy to follow close and detailed instruction's provided by you or am happy and confident to provide exemplary care and take initiative to keep your pets and yourself satisfied.
“Danielle was kind enough to accept us last minute, and saved the day when I desperately was looking for someone to take care of IO. She sent me some photos during the walk, my puppy looks happy and smiling, that is the best sign that he enjoyed the walk with Danielle and felt safe. Will definitely reach out to her again. Thanks you so much Danielle!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine lifelong love and experience with animals. I grew up with five cats and a Springer Spaniel–Jack Russell cross called Eddie, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all kinds and personalities. My boyfriend and I also regularly take care of our friends’ two dogs — one small and one medium-sized — so I’m used to handling different sizes, temperaments, and routines. I’m patient, reliable, and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after while their owners are away. I’ve always dreamed of having my own pet day care, surrounded by lots of happy animals every day. Caring for pets is something that truly brings me joy — it’s not just a job, it’s something I love doing. Whether I’m walking dogs, playing with kittens, or just keeping pets company while their owners are away, I always treat them like my own. Me an my boyfriend work part time so we have some availability for house sitting and pet care. We can easily fit in walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day and we make sure they have company, comfort, and attention. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I always follow their normal routine — including feeding times, walks, play, and any special care instructions. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I give them plenty of attention, affection, and playtime, and I’m happy to send regular updates and photos for peace of mind. When pets stay with me, they have access to a secure, fenced garden that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, as well as several nearby parks for walks and play. I’m around throughout the day to keep them company and make sure they get the care and attention they need. I live with my boyfriend who also has a Rover account and is experienced in pet care. I also have a basic DBS.
About: We're an active family who adore the company of dogs. We miss our beloved rescue English Foxhound who accompanied us on long walks and runs. We have over 15 years experience as dog owners and sitters for friends and family. Our adult daughter Eden is also studying Animal Management and Welfare. We also have experience of caring for older dogs who've required regular medication and a slower pace of life. We're used to all shapes and sizes, we had our lovely English Foxhound Willow for 8 years; she was 38kg, and we now regularly sit for a lovely small terrier. We've cared for dogs from 2kg to 54kg, from a Chihuahua to an Akbash and Rottweiler! Pets are family and your pet would be treated as one of our own whilst with us. We can board or provide day care Friday through Sunday. We have a reasonably sized enclosed garden with high fences. We have 6 rooms we'd make available for your pet to make themselves at home in. We also live on the doorstep of Upton Country Park for lots of walks and runs on the lead. We're also happy to do meet and greets so you can pop and see us ahead of your pet staying
About: I have about 5 years experience looking after my mother in-laws dog. He is a cross between a labrador and a husky, he was rescued from the streets of Romania, at 4 months old. I feed him, give him treats, I change his water, take him out for walks & I play with him. At the moment I'm available immediately to come & look after your furbabies, whether it's a visit or pet sitting overnight. I'm really looking forward to sharing my love for them all. I will only be able to visit your home, as I have 3 cats of my own. This way I can pay them more attention in your own home, or take them for walks if this is their normal routine.
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.
About: I’ve always loved animals and grew up with pets, but my real hands-on experience began when I rescued my Spanish Greyhound, Luna, in 2020. She came from a difficult start. Found on the streets and never having lived in a home, so building her confidence, routine, and trust has been an incredibly rewarding journey. She’s now a happy, well-adjusted dog and a huge part of my life. Through caring for Luna, I’ve developed a strong understanding of patience, consistency, and reading a dog’s behaviour, especially with more sensitive or nervous dogs. While I’m at the beginning of offering pet care professionally, I regularly look after pets for friends and family, and I genuinely love spending time with animals of all personalities. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet in someone else’s care. It’s not just about walks or feeding, it’s about trust, routine, and making sure they feel safe and happy. That’s exactly what I aim to provide. I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting, I’m here to give you peace of mind and your pet the care, attention, and affection they deserve. I currently work full time so the majority of my availability would be in the evenings during the week, I also have availability all day over weekends. I have a fenced garden and have my own dog that is very sociable with others to keep them company on walks. I’m also happy to visit your home and spend time with your animal in their own environment as I know not all dogs are comfortable in new places.
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and now as an adult am passionate about caring for your loved one and in their own home! I understand that whilst you’re away you’ll want the best care and love for your pet and home, so rest assured I can provide this. I’ve been a trusted dog/pet and house sitter for the last ten years and pride myself on making sure your pets are happily fed/watered/walked and loved in your absence. I work part-time so you’ve no need to worry as I won't have to leave your pets alone for long periods during the day. I will be looking after your pet(s) in their own environment, so taking out all worry of new surroundings, and all ground rules will be strictly adhered to.
About: If I had to choose between dogs or humans…I’d pick dogs! I grew up with dogs my family rehomed, from Yorkshire terriers to shar peis, so they’ve been a big part of my life. I don’t have my own dog but I’m the one who looks after everyone else’s. So I thought it’s time I started earning money doing something I love. I have my own terraced house with a long private fenced garden and I live with my 2 children (8 and 16). Eventually I will add on a small extension, which will be like luxury kennels for the pooches that come to stay but I need to see how this goes first! I’ve enrolled onto a canine first aid course so your dogs will always be in safe hands. Animals are my passion and any that come into my home will be treated like they are my own. Please send me a message if you are seeking a trusted dog love to look after your fur babies! I currently work 5 hours a day, 4days a week but my work place is 2 minutes from my house so when I am boarding dogs, I take an hour for my lunch break and go home. Eventually I will dedicate all of my time to this but I need to build a client base first. I have 3 big parks all on my doorstep so your pooch will have lots of exercise and never get bored. Your dogs will be a part of my family when they are here and I have a long private garden they can enjoy. When I am not at home I tend to use a stair gate to section off my dining room, where they can free roam until I am home.
About: Hello! I have had one dog since he was a pup for ten years. Sadly he passed away last year. Due to me already having 4 cats I won't be getting another dog just yet but I do miss him and not going out for daily walks with my beloved dog Coco. If you are in need of doggy care or dog walking I would love to help and care for your pet the next best thing for me without actually having another dog! I will care for your pet like it's my own with lots of love and attention. I have plenty of time to look after your pets as I am home mostly so can be really flexible with times or short notice. I am fully dbs enhanced checked and I am reliable trustworthy and a genuine animal lover who will take care of your pets as if they were my own

Danielle was amazing with my rescue greyhound snoopy, he took to her as soon as he met her :) It was his first time being walked by someone else and I felt really safe leaving him in her hands. She’s kind and friendly as well as super knowledgeable about dogs and their safety. Snoopy had a great time and I loved seeing pictures and updates about him and his walks while I was away. I would 100% have Danielle walk snoopy again and would recommend her to anyone 😊
Sabrina arrived on time to walk my dog Ruby. Ruby was very nervous initially as it was her first time but Sabrina has such a calming nature and makes Ruby feel at ease. We had booked her for a few walks before she takes Ruby for a longer period. Sabrina is a lovely girl and i also feel at ease with leaving Ruby with Sabrina . At the end of the walk Ruby rolled over for a belly Rub. So it went very well.
Highly recommend Louisa! We met first for a local walk so she could get to know my dog, I loved that she asked lots of questions which showed she really cared on providing the best. Louisa was then available last minute to take him for a walk with great communication ❤️
I cannot rate Jamie highly enough - he was terrific! My dog was one of his biggest fans and would always get excited for his walks with Jamie. Prompt communication and always arrived when agreed, the process was made so much easy by Jamie's professionalism.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Northampton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Northampton.
