“Mary and her family were absolutely great with Kylo. Nothing was a problem. Kept me updated on how he was doing and sent me some great pictures. Really put my mind at rest. They said they would have him back anytime which is a bonus. I will definitely be using Mary's services again. Thank you. Xx”
“Kirsty took great care of Jasper for us. She took him on lots of lovely walks in the woods and along the beach and allowed him lots of lovely cuddles as well. We were kept incredibly informed and this meant we didn’t have to worry at all. We would definitely recommend and use Kirsty again.”
“Would highly recommend Ros and Charles. Not only are they both lovely, kind people but they looked after our two Cavachon puppies so well. Our dogs settled well into their holiday home for 2 days while my husband and I got married in the Windemere. We knew they would be well looked after and the certainly were. Beautiful countryside with lots of areas to walk. Ros and Charles also have a lovely garden which is secure so our dogs could run around or just chill in the sun. Thank you for being so attentive and caring. We will definitely be returning to you on our 1st wedding anniversary (if not sooner)!”
“Erin and Alex were incredible with Tec; caring, lovely and excellent communicators. I'll definitely be asking for help when I need a sitter again. I was especially grateful for the brilliant updates and time Erin and Alex took to meet, greet and later make sure Tec settled and was comfortable. Would recommend”
“Bonnie had an amazing first day with Nathan and his wife. We did a meet and greet first and even on leaving her for the first full day she was so excited to spend the day with them and Gus. Couldn’t recommend them enough and I know Bonnie is looking forward to seeing them all again next week. Thank you so much for looking after her so well. 😊”
“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!”
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.
“Yvonne and David were amazing again! So great with our boys, taking them on adventures and putting up with their 'quirks'. Such a great feeling to be able to go away and not worry at all.”
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.
“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”
“Jack was really settled & happy during his stay with Andrew. Lots of lovely long walks, and a fair few cuddles on the sofa. They got on like a house on fire, and became firm friends, even though it was only a short stay. Jack didn't even look up when I left after dropping him off... :-( Andrew kept me updated with what they were up to & sent some pictures, which was great. I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew - he takes time to understand a dog's quirks & foibles, and tailors his plans accordingly. Jack had such a great time that when I went to pick him up, I had to literally drag him to the door!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Luna’s overnight stay. Luna stayed overnight while we travelled to Birmingham, and we felt completely reassured from the start. We received plenty of updates and photos, and it was lovely to see how relaxed and comfortable she was throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, Jesica and Sam were warm, friendly and clearly cared about Luna’s wellbeing. Pick-up was smooth, so everything was handled professionally. Thank you for taking such great care of Luna. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. We would happily book again!”
“Absolutely brilliant !! Really sweet and caring personality and Mochi my Maltipoo enjoy the stay with her family. Mochi gets lots tummy rubs and cuddles from her girls too which Mochi absolutely loves. I also get lots pictures of Mochi everyday from her.”
“We booked Finn in with Larissa as a last minute emergency booking, as have been extremely satisfied! Our dog bounced into their lives! We were kept mostly updated with photo's and comments about his time! When we picked him up he seemed very content, no signs of stress at all! Finn was even given a toy as a parting gift! Finn has been extremely well looked after and we will come back again!”
“Bianka and her family were absolutely brilliant dog sitters for benji. He loved them all right from the off and charged into the house as though he had known them his entire life. He clearly had a lovely time and we really appreciated the updated. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or to recommend Bianka”
“Picked up our little Biscuit today after her 2 night stay with the wonderful Gemma. Once again, full of beans when she greeted us. It is obvious to us she is so happy in your care Gemma. Thank you once again. See you soon 🐾”
About: I have been around dogs for many years and have been a dog owner since 2018, when I welcomed Ruby, my Cockapoo, into my life. I was actively involved in her training and have gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for her over the years. Although I have since moved away from home, I regularly look after Ruby when my parents are on holiday. I also occasionally care for my partner’s parents’ Weimaraner when they are away, giving me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. I am currently in between jobs, so dog sitting is a great way for me to spend my time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I am also happy to look after dogs while working from home, meaning they can have company, attention and care throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. At the moment, I am not working, so I have plenty of time to give dogs lots of attention, including nice long walks, regular toilet breaks and plenty of time to relax and have cuddles. When I start my new job, I will be working from home three days a week, so I will still be able to provide plenty of care and company. I can walk the dog before work and during my lunch break, as well as let them out into the garden regularly for toilet breaks. I think having a dog around while I work will be great company for both of us! I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air and outdoor time. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your dog will have my full attention and be the centre of attention while they are staying with me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for in a calm and welcoming home environment.
About: I have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats, having grown up with and previously owned both\. I am also a current owner of a self\-trained Cocker Spaniel, so I understand the time, patience and consistency that goes into training and caring for a dog\. Our pets have always been well trained, loved and treated as part of the family\. I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs, and I’m always happy to follow your usual routine to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy and well looked after. My schedule is flexible: my boyfriend works in football and is home on Thursdays, and I am usually available on weekends, allowing us to offer both weekday and weekend care. When pet sitting, we a will not be working and can fully dedicate our time, attention, walks, and care to your dog. We have a fully fenced garden and dogs will be welcome throughout the home. We live within walking distance of plenty of lovely trails and walks, perfect for keeping dogs active and entertained. Our friendly Cocker Spaniel is great with other dogs and would love having a new furry friend to keep him company!
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. :)

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 .
