“Andy was loving and caring towards our two dogs! He was not only professional but easily contactable and replied promptly every time. We were not only comfortable with him looking after our dogs, we would consider visiting their family as they got along so well with our pups! We received images of the dogs and updates daily! Would highly recommend.”

Regular updates sent to us whilst we were away with pictures showing how he was enjoying himself during our absence :-). Would definitely recommend Lorraine and would have no hesitation in choosing her again to look after Berkeley.”
“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!”
“Memphis had a great stay with Steven and his family. They welcomed him in to their home, gave him lots of affection, walks and attention. Steven sent images of Memphis on their walks and showing him settled and calm at their house. We would defiantly recommend leaving your dog here, for sure we will be asking for Memphis to return when we are next in the area.”
“Dillon in all his 13 ye ars has only ever been with me or a family member. Due to a family occasion abroad l had to find alternative accommodation for Dillon. Graig and his family were lovely ,making Dillon part of their family for the week. We went for a meet and greet and the whole family were excited to meet Dillon. He got on well with their dog Chester and the family were a perfect match. I wasn't worried about Dillon while I was away as l received endless photos and video's enjoying his week. I will definitely have them look after Dillon again .”
“Olivia looked after Freddie, who is an anxious dog, with care, compassion and kindness and I can tell that Freddie was super-happy to stay in her home. The arrangements were handled very well and Olivia was kind enough to be flexible with us too. Would highly recommend!”
“I left Sparkey with JiaYuan for 5 days while we were on holiday and they were amazing! Sparkey came back home very happy and clean and I got video updates of him every day having the best time with Nana.”
“We can’t recommend Maisy enough! From the moment we dropped Vinnie off, she made him feel completely at home and welcome. She played with him, fussed over him, and was so thoughtful about his needs — especially as he’s a rather lazy bulldog! Maisy sent us daily updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We’re so happy to have found her and will definitely be booking again. Thanks Maisy!”
“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!”
“Jess and Luke are truly lovely people and took such great care of Bruce!! He got plenty of trips, walks, and cuddles, and I could tell he was happy and well-loved while I was away. I especially appreciated the daily updates on what he was doing and how he was feeling – it really put my mind at ease 🥰 I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!! Let me know if you would like me to make any changes or additions!”
“Ollie spent the weekend with Jake and appeared very happy and settled. Jake sent pictures regularly, that reassured me he was happy. I would definitely use Jake again, and have no hesitation in recommending him.”
“Hannah was good with Molly🐾, who is anxious and excitable. Her dog, Hunter, was a gentleman with her. Yesterday was a trial run for them all and I hope Hannah will have Molly🐾 again because having someone calm and competent as a sitter is a great support.”
“Simon looked after our dog for a long weekend. Communication was great, and Laika seemed to be very happy and relaxed in the pictures. We did a meet and greet before hand to make sure everyone was happy, and so that Laika could meet Simon's. It was all very easy to arrange. I'd be very happy for Laika to stay again in the future.”
“Chewie had a fantastic stay with Tyson and his humans again. Thank you so much to Meg and Chandra for all the photos and for making Chewie feel so at home. Hope he’ll be back for another holiday at your house soon.”
“We chose one of the hottest days of the year to leave our black and white border collie with Stacey. She was so good with him. He just wanted to stay cool in the hall and she gave him a fan and lots of water. Communication with Stacey was excellent from start to finish. As we were travelling a distance, we were unable to have a meet and greet but it was so reassuring when Stacey was keen to enquire about Robbie’s likes and dislikes before he boarded with her. I would have no hesitation in asking Stacey to look after Robbie if we are in the area again.”

Pedro has just looked after our dog Otto for a week. This is his second stay with Pedro. Otto is a rescue dog and can be nervous with new people and situations. Pedro was very accommodating and made sure he did all he could to make Otto feel at home. When we picked Otto up he was very happy and relaxed and was in no hurry to go home. We will happily use Pedro again and recommend him without hesitation.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Northamptonshire on Rover is £40.25 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,329 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Northamptonshire. 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 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 .
