About: I am a family dog lover with hands on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have my own dog and understand routines, boundaries and reassurance. I offer calm, reliable care, regular walks, feeding, playtime and plenty of affection. I treat every dog as part of the family and always follow your instructions so your pet feels safe, settled and well cared for. Dog care fits easily around my routine. I work flexibly, so I am available morning, afternoon and evening for walks, feeding, play and company. I am used to sticking to routines and can follow your dog’s usual schedule, including exercise needs, medication and downtime. I am available on weekdays and weekends and can be flexible where needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first. My home is calm, clean and dog friendly, with clear boundaries and supervision. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks and rest time. I am confident managing different temperaments and will separate dogs if needed. I can also care for dogs in their own home, keeping things familiar and low stress. I keep owners updated so you feel reassured while you are away.
“Chester had a great time! He’s a really anxious dog with separation anxiety but Emily was great with him and sent me lots of updates and pictures. I would definately recommend Emily. Thank you!”
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!
“Caitlin connected with Ricco straight away and their bond was solid. Very professional and caring. Ricco seemed very happy when he was dropped off and picked up. Thanks Caitlin on responding to our last minute request x”

“Sasha had a great time, felt far happier leaving her with Stephanie than in my hotel room when I was visiting a friend. Great comms and pictures, I would absolutely book again if I was in the area.”

“Samantha is a lovely person and looked after my puppy amazingly. My puppy enjoyed playing with her dog Jessie even though he can be nervous with dogs and she made sure they were both happy. He came back a very happy dog and was tired after all the playing. Samantha is great with communication and pictures so you’ll see plenty of updates. Will definitely be taking Wilbur back to her again!!”
“Rebecca has looked after Chester several times now. He has separation anxiety and is quite nervous but is always well looked after and has great fun with Weaver! We never worry when Chester is with Rebecca and would absolutely recommend her.”

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.
I had to arrange for a dog sitter at short notice, Me and my dog (Mav) met with engin for a meet and greet and felt Engin was very welcoming. He has a big garden where Mav could play and relax. Engin is a lovely person who is an animal lover and that was seen in his interaction with Mav. Mav had no restrictions in his house, he was free. Sometimes Mav needs to be encouraged to eat and engin did a great job making sure Mav had his food. I left mav for 24 hours with Engin several days as i had work, and everytime i met with Mav, he was calm and relaxed. I wish Engin and his family all the very best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Julia and Ged looked after Otto and were absolutely brilliant. They gave him the space he needed to settle and were really patient with him. They took him on a lovely long walk where he could get some energy out and have a nice time. Would recommend highly and they are lovely people too. Millie their dog is lovely as well.

There are 1,233 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.

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 .
