“Mary and family provided Nora with a very happy holiday, sending regular updates showing Nora had settled in very quickly. I would highly recommend Mary's pet services and would be definitely booking Nora in for an another stay.”
“The most responsible and understanding friend that Toby has stayed with. We loved the regular updates and photos. Toby made himself right at home and Kirsty knew exactly how to care for our 10 year old Toby. We felt comfortable and relaxed knowing that Toby was in great hands. Now he’s sad he’s back at home and not at Kirsty’s house with all his newly found Toys!. Many’s Thanks! Phil, Izzy & Toby”
“If I could give more stars I would. Julie has looked after our 6 month old boy for the weekend and I couldn’t have asked to find anyone better. She has taken him out for plenty of walks and socialising, she’s played with him, cuddled him and looked after him as if he were his own. Julie kept me updated throughout with lots of photos. Maverick had the best weekend, and if you need a sitter please look no further than Julie, your dog will have the best time!”
“Yvonne and David are so lovely, we felt from the meet & greet that our boys would be well looked after, and they definitely were! They dealt with Kenny's anxiety and Geoff's general grumpiness so well, we weren't ever worried about them. We also got great pics and videos, absolutely going to rebook.”
“Erin and Alex were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. It was our first time using a dog sitter but after meeting Erin at her home I knew Ozzy was going to be well looked after. She kept in touch daily about where they had been and took loads of photos! I think Ozzy was living his best life at their house. Thank you so much!”
“Alfie had a lovely stay with Bianka. I was nervous leaving Alfie as I’ve never had to use a dog sitter before. As soon as Alfie arrived he seemed at ease straight away and had a wonder around the garden. Biancka kept me updated and sent photos. Bianka even slept downstairs on the sofa with Alfie because he would not go upstairs ❤️🐶 I will be sure to ask Bianka to have Alfie again”
“This was Sal's first stay with Ros and Charles and all went very smoothly. They were very welcoming and Sal was delighted to see them and their grandchildren. He was content to be left and we drove away feeling he was in safe hands. Ros and Charles very kindly sent a message with a photo later in the day to let us know Sal had settled. When I picked Sal up he was pleased to see me but in no way distressed. He had obviously been very happy and well cared for. Ros and Charles told me had been a joy to look after and had made himself at home. They said they would welcome him back for his next stay in December. This was, of course, a great relief as we have family plans for that time. I recommend Ros and Charles very highly and I can think of nothing more they could have done to make Sal's stay any better for him or for us. A big 'thank you' to both of them!”
“Dolly had a lovely time with Yuen Shan W. Met up before hand to introduce each other. Lots of updates throughout with photographs. Felt very confident Dolly was well cared for. Will definitely use again.”
“Cannot thank Kat and her husband enough for looking after my boy. I was sent pics and vids throughout his stay for the night, and by the looks of it, all 3 of them had the best time, it made me jealous! 😂 Kat and her husband are some of the kindest people I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with for dog boarding and will 10000% be using them in the future. Thank you again!! ☺️”
About: I have had cats and dogs since a very early age. I love caring for them and letting them have fun. Very reliable person and our home is right next to great woods and river walks. We have a cat and Labrador I currently only work a few weeks per year on site and the rest a few hours per day at home so have a lot of spare time. We have a very secure nice sized back garden and a big kitchen where our dog sleeps. The pets are allowed anywhere in the house and we love regular walks.
“Great communication with Rachel throughout Bobby’s stay, and from the evidence of the photographic updates we received during his stay he clearly enjoyed the 5 star holiday treatment 🐶”
“Jack had a lovely stay with Andrew. Although just a short break, Andrew kept us up to date with regular messages and photos. Andrew was really patient with Jack and changed his plans to fit around him. Highly recommended, and we will be booking Jack in with him again soon.”
About: Been around dogs most of my life:) Cared for a range including Golden retrievers, Cavapoos, Huskies, Malamutes, Border Collies, Daschunds, Pugs & Frenchies. I’ve moved over from Jersey and miss having doggy company! Love the chance to care for and spoil some pups again! I can work from home and my hours are flexible to work around the pups needs when doing so! Plus I already require daily walks myself 😆 I’m afraid I can’t commit to open ended repeat walks/visits as availability fluctuates so requests would require an end date. Also for bookings much further away I may need to add a couple quid to the rate just to cover my travel (as Rover takes a fair bit!) but that can be discussed on a case by case basis :) I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or staying at your home, I’ll stick to their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they’re well cared for. On walks, I keep things safe and go at their pace. My goal is to make sure your pet feels relaxed and loved until you’re back, tailoring to their individual needs! For stays in my own home, I should note that I have a housemate so it wouldn’t just be me around the dog.
About: I have always had a love of dogs and currently have a three year old English bulldog. He loves having pals around and we are looking to take on boarding and treat your dog like our own. I work from home so am always in and like to walk different places. We treat our dog like a member of the family, so there is nowhere off limits in our home, including furniture. I only board on the days I am off or work from home. I like to work morning and afternoon minimum and lunch time heat dependant. Come rain or shine. I have my own dog so ask that yours will be on with this and follow the same routine I have a fenced rear garden and will treat your dog like my own. They will sleep upstairs with us and have the run of the house. If we go out, it is no longer than two hours.
About: We have both grown up with dogs and have spent years helping care for our family pets. From daily walks and feeding to playtime and lots of affection, caring for dogs has always been part of our lives. Since moving away from home to Northumberland, we really miss having dogs around. We know every dog has their own personality and routine and we're happy to adapt to their individual needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic play or simply relaxing with company, we will make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. We're reliable and committed to treating every dog as if they were our own. We know how important it is to trust the people looking after your pet, and we'll always provide plenty of photos and communication so you can have peace of mind while your pup is with us! I, Megan, work from home most days, so I have plenty of flexibility. I’m available to walk dogs in the evenings, mornings, and offer boarding on weekends. Jake works weekdays but is home and available on weekends too. Our weekends are usually cosy and relaxed, enjoying nature walks and spending quality time outdoors. We’d love to have your dog join us! We have a secure, fully fenced back garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. We’re happy to be flexible and adapt to each dog’s individual needs, routines and personality. We’ll follow their usual feeding, walking and sleeping routines as closely as possible, and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and cared for while staying with us.
“Arthur had a great stay. He has come back happy and healthy. Larissa was great to communicate with and flexible when our pick up/drop off times changed. She is very safety conscious and really listened about his diet needs. Would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”
“Anna and Jorge were brilliant with our dog. They got to know him and took care of him exactly how he likes. He came home happy and healthy and they enjoyed the week they had with him. We will definitely be booking them again”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Northumberland is £30
Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Northumberland
Hayley and her partner were absolutely great with Eli. He was very well looked after for the whole stay and a very happy pup when we got him home. I was able to pop round and introduce Eli to her before the stay and she made sure to take note of all his requirements and preferences (food, walks, sleeping arrangements, etc.). Hayley also kindly sent me regular photos and updates to make sure I knew everything was going swimmingly which was really reassuring. It is clear that Hayley has a lot of experience working with dogs. She knew exactly how to respond to Eli's needs, offering a friendly and professional service. I would not hesitate to rebook a stay with her. :)

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Northumberland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northumberland on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 458 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Northumberland. 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 North East England 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 .
