About: As a dedicated pet lover and proud owner of a lively Maltese named Luca, I understand the joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. Since welcoming Luca, I’ve discovered the true happiness animals add to my day-to-day life, and I often find myself connecting more with pets than people. Caring for Luca has taught me patience, understanding, and the importance of nurturing a pet's unique personality and needs. This deep connection drives my motivation to become a pet sitter, where I can extend the same level of love and care to other pets as I do with my own. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. With me, your pets will not only be in trusted hands but will feel like they are a part of my own family. Pet care is woven seamlessly into my week, making it just as essential (and enjoyable) as my morning coffee! Working from home means Luca is my little “coworker” most days, keeping me company and reminding me to take breaks (which usually means playtime or cuddles). Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my "away days," but I've made sure those are full of extra treats, comfy spots, and toys for Luca to enjoy while I'm onsite. On all other days, I’m here to provide all the attention he could want, from belly rubs to outdoor adventures. For other pets I’d be caring for, I bring the same level of attention and love. I work around their schedules, whether it’s feeding time, walks, or just time to snuggle. My daily routine with pets is as fun and flexible as they need, with Luca as the best assistant anyone could ask for! Living in a cozy one-bedroom home with a fenced garden gives me a perfect setup for pet care! The garden is a safe spot where pets can roam freely and explore without any worry. I love that there are parks nearby, so daily walks and a change of scenery are always on the agenda—great for stretching legs and sniffing new scents. Inside, I make the space as welcoming as possible with comfy spots to lounge, plenty of toys, and some tasty treats for rewards or just to brighten their day. With Luca’s stash of toys and our little routines, pets here can enjoy a mix of indoor comfort and outdoor fun, all with a loving companion to keep them company. Whether they’re looking for playtime or just a quiet spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home!
“Ana Maria is a great and prompt communicator. After bearing with a very difficult first day with Lyra she persevered, and the other days were perfect. Ana Maria is straight and direct with a no-nonsense attitude but easy likeable personality. Lyra loved going and is always happy to see Ana and her family. Ana Maria has two dogs which Lyra loved to play with and what she needs as she is full of energy and fun. I would totally recommend Ana Maria!”


About: Hi! I’m a friendly, caring and reliable animal lover who has grown up around pets my whole life. I’ve always had dogs and have also cared for cats, hamsters and rabbits, so I’m very comfortable looking after all kinds of pets and understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve regularly dog-sat for neighbours, friends and family, including both day sits and overnight stays. More recently, I’ve also helped care for two new puppies in my family, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with the extra attention, patience and care puppies need. I genuinely love being around animals and would treat your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, as I’m taking some time away from work to study Pilates and focus on building my own business. This gives me plenty of free time and flexibility throughout the week, which makes pet sitting a great fit for my lifestyle. I’m able to dedicate lots of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for, whether that’s daytime visits, longer stays or overnight sitting. I’m also able to be flexible around individual routines and can work around feeding times, walks and any specific care your pet needs. I really enjoy having animals around, so pet sitting is something I’d genuinely love to incorporate into my day-to-day life. I always aim to keep pets as close to their normal routine as possible, as I know this helps them feel comfortable and settled. I make sure they have regular toilet breaks, plenty of fresh water and lots of opportunities for play, exercise and stimulation throughout the day. I’m very happy to spend plenty of time keeping pets company, whether that’s playing with them, giving them cuddles or simply being around them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also comfortable using crates when this is part of their usual routine and would always follow the owner’s instructions around crate time and sleeping arrangements. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality, and I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, sleeping and play routines. Most importantly, I want them to feel safe, happy and cared for while their owners are away.
“Emma was really great. Thank you for accommodating us last minute. We got notifications of what Jackson got up to, which was reassuring. Highly recommend, will keep Emma in mind for future bookings!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was around 8, from family pets to friends who needed somewhere for their dog to stay while they went away. I truly love these animals, I don’t think I’ve met a dog I didn’t adore. Elva and I both work from home for round the clock supervision, care and attention for your furry friend. Both of our schedules are completely flexible so your dog will want for nothing! We have a walled garden with room to be free and feel comfortable on a nicely sized detached property with no worry about your dog being cramped (and if they’re noisy, also no worry about disturbing neighbours 😂) We live next to some fields where we like to walk our own dog as much as possible. Weather permitting, we will take your dog for a good walk round there where we will cross paths with other people and dogs, and there will be plenty to sniff! We can also of course stick to street walking if you or your dog have a preference. We have a dog of our own who is chill and friendly and will be incredibly happy to keep yours company or give them space, he’s the chillest dog known to man.

“Harley loved his day with Adam. He particularly really enjoyed time with Adam's dogs - two lovely lady-friends as company 💕 on his play-date, coz Harley's such a handsome chap. 😉😋 We were attending a funeral, so Adam ensured Harley had a great time out in the garden and a lovely walk so he was tired when we collected him. Thx so much from all 3 of us. 🐕🤘🙏”


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.

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.

About: Hi! I'm a dedicated pet parent and passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. My journey with animals began when I was little and helping care for my grandparents’ gentle German Shepherd. That early bond sparked a lifelong love for dogs. Before welcoming my own pup, Dandan, into my life, I spent years volunteering to walk and care for neighbors' and friends' dogs whenever they needed help. Over the past 4 years, I've gained valuable training and dog-handling experience, and I've been a proud dog owner myself for the last 2 years. I also cared for my own cat for 5 years, so I understand the needs of both feline and canine companions. As a dog parent, I know how important it is to leave your pet in safe, loving hands. When you’re away, you want someone who will treat your pet like family—giving them attention, comfort, and plenty of playtime. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. Whether it’s daily walks, boarding, or just some quality cuddle time, I’m here to make sure your furry friend is happy and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home most days, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I take my dog, Dandan, out for long walks once or twice a day—each walk usually lasts between 1 to 2 hours. I'm able to easily fit additional walks, check-ins, or pet sitting into my schedule and give your pup the time, care, and engagement they deserve. I live in a cozy, good sized 2-bedroom flat that’s clean, pet-friendly, and well-maintained. While the space is great for resting and relaxing, I make sure pets get plenty of activity outdoors. I take my dog out daily for long walks and playtime, and I’ll do the same for yours—tailoring the routine to their energy level and needs. When caring for someone else’s dog, safety is always my top priority. Whether at my home or yours, I keep a close eye on them at all times. During walks, I always use a secure leash and harness—no off-leash unless we're in a fully enclosed, safe area and the owner has given permission.
“Rudy had a lovely time in Christine's care, and we couldn't be more grateful! She made sure to send us regular updates and photos, which was really thoughtful. Would thoroughly recommend!”

Vicky and Tom are a super chilled couple, which is perfect for my anxious senior dog. I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the day and I have never seen him so relaxed considering he had only met them once before. I have no hesitation in recommending them and will definitely be contacting them again for future bookings.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Northampton on Rover is £27.6 per day (as of September 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 1,261 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Northampton. About 88% of Northampton 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 Northampton 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 .
