“We feel incredibly lucky to have met Andy, his family, and their lovely dog, Enzo. From the start, they welcomed Ernie as part of the pack and took such great care of him. They were flexible when our plans changed and always made sure his needs were met. The daily updates and photos were a thoughtful touch that really put my mind at ease. Ernie had the best week filled with walks, playtime, and lots of fun. Absolutely no hesitations in recommending! Thank you”
“Jessica is not only the loveliest, friendliest lady you could wish to meet, her and her family welcomed my dog Hugo into their home as if he was a member of their family. I was amazed at the regular updates and photos I received throughout Hugo’s stay with Jessica. It is so evident that she adores dogs and I would not hesitate to recommend her and will definitely ask her to care for Hugo in the future. Thank you Jessica (and Troy), Hugo adored you! xx”
“Pedro was fabulous with our dog, and looked after him as though it was his own dog. He came home relaxed and happy even though we'd been away for over a week. I'd 100% recommend Pedro.”
“Thanks so much to Craig and his family for taking such wonderful care of Ted. They really listened to my instructions and followed them carefully. I appreciated all the updates and pictures, they really put my mind at ease. Ted came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’m very grateful for the love and attention they gave him and would highly recommend them!”
“So grateful to have discovered June. Our senior dog was so happy and really well cared for and we didn't worry about him for a second while we were away. We've already booked him in for his next holiday 🥰”
“We left our Golden Retriever Bertie with Kristy for a couple days while traveling and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Communication was great, Bertie was very well looked after and had lots of fun with Teddy. Highly recommended!”
“Would 1,000,000% book again. Tim’s first time being left with someone he isn’t familiar with since we’ve had him. Lourdes, your regular updates were fab and the kindness and compassion you showed towards him was really meaningful for us. Especially as we were unsure if he would settle. Thank you so much. Tim had a lovely time and clearly felt very comfortable being with you!”
“Our Pup Mila stayed with Samantha for 4 nights recently. Samantha is very warm and welcoming. Very knowledgeable about dogs with helpful advice. Attentive to Mila and all her needs. Samantha updates are amazing. A lot of videos and photos sent - which I really appreciate and enjoy receiving. Contact with Samantha was immediate. The whole process starting with a meet and greet is organised and accomodating. Mila settled well with Samantha and her lovely pack of pups. We will definitely book with Samantha again.”
“Goofy had a very joyful time at Shreya’s , specially his companion Riley. This was our second time with Shreya and she is very good will definitely book her again and recommend always”
About: Hi everyone, My name is Maddy and I have furry babies of my own. I’ve always been good with cats and dogs, looking after and caring for them. Out of my three cats, two are rescues and I love them equally. They’re very needy. I have over ten years of experience and I’d love to provide the same level of care for your furry friends as I do for my own.
“Karen is simply the best! We know when we leave Jasper he is in safe hands 💖 We get great updates and would 100% recommend her! Jasper looks forward to coming over again soon! Thank you SO much x”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) based in Milton Keynes, offering calm, reliable, and compassionate care for pets of all ages. I’ve spent years working closely with animals, and I love creating a safe, relaxed environment where they feel understood and genuinely cared for. My RVN background means I’m confident supporting pets with medication, senior‑pet needs, post‑operative routines, and recognising early signs of stress or illness. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or has specific medical or behavioural needs, I adapt my care to suit them. I can also follow and carry out your training routine. I’m gentle, patient, and very attentive, and I always follow your instructions carefully. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is simple: to treat your pet with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own. If you’d like to chat or arrange a meet‑and‑greet, I’d be happy to hear from you. I keep a flexible weekly routine, which allows me to fit pet care in comfortably and reliably. I plan my days around the pets I’m looking after, making sure I have plenty of time for walks, visits, and any extra needs. I’m also available for morning walks, which many pets enjoy as part of their routine. I never overbook, so your pet always gets calm, focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home: I follow your routines closely so your pet feels secure and settled. I take time to understand their habits, feeding schedule, favourite spots, and any medical or behavioural needs. As an RVN, I’m confident recognising early signs of stress or discomfort, and I always prioritise calm, gentle handling. I keep your home tidy and secure, and I send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. When caring for pets in my home: I provide a quiet, relaxed environment with plenty of space for pets to settle in. I only take pets from one family at a time, so your pet receives my full attention and never has to worry about overcrowding or unfamiliar animals. I also have a very friendly resident cat who used to be a clinic cat — he’s calm, social, and used to meeting new animals in a gentle, controlled way. Introductions are always slow and safe, and I only allow interactions if everyone is comfortable. Your pet’s wellbeing comes first. I use my RVN experience to ensure safe handling, clean environments, and careful monitoring, while keeping everything warm, patient, and reassuring. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I aim to create a calm, predictable space where pets feel secure and understood.
“Andy looked after our dog Lottie overnight and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the moment we met him, it was clear how kind, trustworthy and genuinely caring he is with animals. Lottie settled immediately and was so happy and relaxed when we collected her. Andy kept us updated, treated her like one of his own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious he truly loves dogs and takes great pride in what he does. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again in the future. First class in every way!”
“Nayelly was absolutely brilliant looking after Willow. It was the first time I’ve left willow so I was very nervous however Nayelly gave me photos and videos of her having such a brilliant time and instantly put my mind at ease, I couldn’t recommend her enough !! 😊”
“Our dog had a fantastic stay with Greg- he was so well looked after. We got sent so many photos which showed how happy he was and how well he settled! Definitely recommend!”
“Had a great experience as Beth looked after our mini dachshund pawfluencers (@haroldthehappyhotdog YouTube) including our clingy puppy but Beth did a great job knowing how to look after them and sent lots of update pics - definitely recommend as a dog sitter!”
“Lorraine was absolutely brilliant looking after our two boys. She gave lots of updates with pictures of them chilling out and going for walkies. She catered to any additional needs. It was lovely to know that they were in good hands and enjoyed their stay. Would definitely recommend :)”
“A lovely family, we could tell Marnie was well looked after and that they were a family who really loved dogs. It makes such a difference and gave us piece of mind. Thank you for taking such good care of her.”

Pedro was fantastic with Treacle and he took great care of her considering the heatwave and some unexpected setbacks with her care. He clearly adapted to this and didn’t let it affect our time spent away, sending us lovely updates throughout the time spent. We’re really grateful that he handled this, despite her coming into season early and a bit of a chaotic drop off initially. Thank you again Pedro!
Ralph had an amazing time with Andy and his family! He looked truly happy and settled from frequent photos and updates received. Andy took great care to ensure Ralph was as comfortable as possible during the heatwave. Thank you for welcoming Ralph into your home and treating him as one the team! We are relieved to have found a great sitter and friend for Ralph for the future! Thank you all so much!

FAQs for Boarding - South Northamptonshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Northamptonshire on Rover is £39.9 per night (as of July 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 .

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 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.
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 .
